• Update Firefox, now I get an error when you try to open the .mkv files, but not other video files

  I created an html page of cinema at home with links to movies on my hard drive. I have two types of links or href = 'file:///C:/Media/movies/Looney Tunes/MainMovie/Vol 1 Disc 3/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS. IFO' for normal DVD or href = "file:///C:/Media/movies/Blu-ray/Lorax/mkv/THE_LORAX/THE_LORAX.Title800.mkv" for blu - ray. Both have worked fine (click on the link and the movie starts to play with Media Player Home Cinema) for a few years until what I recently upgraded to firefox. The .ifo files still open as usual, but now blu - ray links take me to a gray page that says "Video cannot be read because the daughter is corrupt" with a large "X" over it. If I open the html page in Internet Explorer and click on the link, it works very well (blu - ray opens by using Media Player Home Cinema). Also, if I directly open the .mkv files, they play very well (open using MPHC). Thanks for any help!

  Change your links to include the attribute type with the value of video/x-matroska . Example:

  <a type="video/x-matroska" href="file:///C:/My%20Videos/Cooking/Making%20Gingerbread.mkv">How to make gingerbread</a>

• Recently updated Firefox 3.6.13 Firefox 13 - crashes when you try to open

  I've been using firefox 3.6.13 for quite awhile; the reason why I have such an old version is because it's for a work computer, and an upgrade to newer versions in general is not homogeneous and can interrupt the working process.

  Anyway, I find some downtime and decided that I would be upgraded to the latest version of firefox. Every thing seems to install fine, and he copied all of my addons on apparently (which I am thankful for). How ever, when opening Firefox it opens and displays two tabs saying "connection", but nothing happens beyond that. It just completely freezes providing the "waiting" icon when you move it. I tried + 10 minutes waiting for what ever treat was to finish, but nothing happened. To close Firefox, I need to kill the process in Task Manager.

  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the same problem occurs. I tried to search earlier, stable versions of firefox, but couldn't find anything.

  One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/basic+troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• 2015.5 CC Photoshop crashes when you try to open (Mac)

  I have used Photoshop with creative cloud for over 6 months now and I never had problems until recently, after the last update Photoshop. Now, whenever I try to open Photoshop, just open the app or try to open a file, the application just hangs and never opens, open dialog is blocked in "Adding extensions... supported multiprocessor"

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall at least 4 times, just after a clean install (I delete all my program preferences otherwise it doesn't) I can use it for a few hours the same day, but the next day, that the problem is there once again. It's very frustrating, but it seems not only to be a problem of the PS, as Illustrator and Acrobat which I use also work very well.

  My computer specs are:

  MacBookPro 13 inch, mid-2010

  Mac OS X 10.11.6

  Processor: Intel Core Duo 2.4 GHz

  8 GB RAM

  Nvidia 256 MB graphics card

  1 TB HARD DRIVE

  Any help on how to solve this problem will be greatly appreciated

  Hi carminablanco,

  Please update the graphics driver on the manufacturing site, you also need minimum of 512 VRAM for graphics processor to do certain things in Photoshop.

• Constant 8 Firefox crashes when you try to open

  Updated my Firefox to version 8 this morning, since then I have been unable to use Firefox. Whenever I double click on my icon on my desktop, Firefox crashes. I can not click on web links in emails that otherwise Firefox crashes. Yes, I've updated my plugins, update Windows, all done. Nothing works, and of course to get hold of the technical support of Firefox is impossible because it does not even appear to exist. How wonderful, it's not even be able to use Firefox and check my sites I bookmarked. I use Windows XP Professional, not the latest and greatest, but Firefox has stated that version 8 is compatible with Windows XP. I reported him blocks throughout the day, with zero response.

  Ditto. With Seamonkey, Opera, Chrome and Palemoon, I'm good. Time to deep six Firefox, now most browser of the hostile user on the planet.

• 16, Firefox, I reinstalled about 6 times, hangs and crashes when you try to load the first page on my new laptop windows 7.

  On occasion, the program will load a window to say "Familysearch.com" but hang for awhile when a subroutine is called. Lately, I can't seem to get the first loaded window. Reported no accidents called at all.

  I just did the reset option, and it does not solve the problem. Actually did you 'fix' a couple of other times.

  Thank you

• When you try to open internet w/Firefox, I get a message asking me if I want to update. I think maybe it is an invader on my desktop computer. How can I fix it?

  In my taskbar, I click the Mozilla icon and most often the ' net opens automatically. Yesterday, this has changed; I click and get a message asking me if I want to use the 'updater' for updating my Mozilla. I think I have a virus or something on my system and want to know 1) how can I check for an invader. (2) how can I get rid of him?

  Hi, in case of doubt, to check updates, open the 3-bar menu > help (question mark below on the right) > on Firefox.

  It is possible that the notification is from your McAfee WebAdvisor extension, you can try to disable if you wish (Ctrl + Shift + A to open the Add-ons Manager).

  If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

• Firefox crashes when you try to attach a file to gmail compose

  Laptop Vista 32. When you try to attach a file to a gmail account, compose explore dialog and then firefox crashes. Happens every time and began (I think) with the 16 or 17 years old version. Updated plugins, crossed of troubleshooting on the Help menu, I tried safe mode. All to nothing does not. IE works fine.

  After reviewing all services and startup programs using msconfig, I've isolated the problem to a conflict with Dell Media Center in starting. I deleted the software (preinstalled on your laptop) since I never use anyway, re-enabled the acceleration hardware Flash and deleted the line mode protected in the file flash cfg.

  NO MORE CRASHES when you try to attach a file to a message in gmail!

  Thanks for all your help - could not have corrected it without you.

• Firefox crashes when you try to view SVG content

  When you try to load the content created by the url below, firefox uses a lot of memory and would become insensitive, so that I have to close (and kill) it.

  The same thing happens if I save the content in a file with a different browser (Opera, for example) and try to open this file.

  I tried other machines. It works on windows but not on my SuSE and Ubuntu Linux (accurate). I tried without plug-ins and hardware acceleration disabled with firefox being reset.

  Small graphics like http://pollux.informatik.uni-bremen.de:8000/Basic/Numbers.casl are no problem.
