  • Just installed Firefox on a Mac under OS x 10.6.8 - 7.0.1 installation disc remains an icon on the desktop and whenever I run, Firefox opens a window asking me to drag the icon from Firefox to my Applications folder. How do I get this to go?

    I installed the app in my applications folder and everything works perfectly. But normally, after you have installed a browser, the installation disk icon that appears on your desktop can be ejected or removed without. Mine is back...

    Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.

    Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.

    You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.

  • Why Firefox 5 will not see the Windows Media Player Plugin?

    Hello useful Mozilla expert,

    When I click on a link to play a standard WMV video in Firefox 5, in the movie player window it is said 'Click here to download the'.

    When I click on 'Click here to download the plugin' in Firefox 5, I get a panel of Firefox that says I need to Windows Media Player 11, but I already Windows Media Player 12 and the browser Firefox WMP plugin installed on this computer... it worked fine in Firefox 3.6.

    If I then click to install the Windows Media Player 11 plugin, it goes to another Firefox sign that says: ' no plug-ins have been installed, Windows Media Player 11 - no available '. Then, there is a "manual install" button, and when I click, it takes me to a third party plugin site called 'InteroperabilityBridges.com' which has a plugin Firefox WMP dated April 2007 available.

    Here is the link he gives... http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/Windows-Media-Player-Firefox-plugin-download

    When I check my Panel "programs and features" in Windows 7 on my control panel, I can see that I have already installed something called, "Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin" installed and it is dated 10/24/2010 and it is version 1.0.0.8

    Despite having already the required plugin installed and showing in my control panel, programs and features, this WMP plugin does not appear on my plugins Firefox 5 Panel. So I tried to re - install with the installer of origin and available to the above URL Setup (they seem to be the same, except my installer of origin has a date of 2010).

    I also tried the 'fix' option in the setup of the plugin... it still does not appear in Firefox 5, nor this browser will play a WMV file in the integrated test related troubleshooting page plugin Mozilla WMP player, or other pages that embedded the WMV players.

    So the question is, why is Firefox 5 demanding I install a Windows Media Player plug-in older, version 1.0.0.8 of 2007 when I have already installed...? and why it won't work?

    I went through all the troubleshooting information in Mozilla and go to the page dedicated to this subject and nothing works...
    https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/using%20The%20Windows%20Media%20Player%20plugin%20with%20firefox

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Windows_Media_Player#Missing_plugin

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/Port25/archive/2007/04/16/Windows-Media-Player-plug-in-for-Firefox.aspx

    What is the solution? The upgrade again for the 3rd time in the last 2 months, this is not an option... I'm tired of going through all the difficult steps of the upgrade and find what has changed and rejected another upgrade of the browser Mozilla and re - install plugins, extensions, modules and customizations and repair everything that does not work, as I always do now with Firefox 5.

    It seems that as soon as I get most things squared away in a new browser from Mozilla, then they came out with three new releases, so when I'm still struggling with the FF5 version (as I am now) there will be version 9 I get annoying constant 'reminders' upgrade to.

    Not related to your question, but...

    You must update some plug-ins:

    Deleted by Windows 7 desktop Firefox error.
    Downloaded Mozilla Fox. File has been "" Firefox Setup Stub 40-0-2 - exe ". Download came to download "area:.» 'Run', opens the window asking what program to use to open Firefox.

    Try to download the full installer instead of the download small heel:

    Firefox won't download Adobe Flash player. He charges to 75%, then said "installation failed." I followed the instructions to uninstall the previous version of Adobe, but now I can't load Adobe Flash player at all.

    See if they can help;

    Take uninstaller from here:
    Uninstall Flash Player | Windows

  • Firefox crashes when opening and randomly - Windows XP.

    What I saw, is that FireFox crashes on most start-ups. It also blocks at random. He experienced, he did this in safe mode, too. He has done this before that plug-ins have been installed, and he does it since FireFox 12 or 13 of FireFox.

    Curiously, my folder where incident reports SHOULD go is completely empty.

    Current version: 22.0

    What I'd do here?

    Hello

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • Firefox frequently loses focus of the window

    It seems that Firefox frequently loses focus of the window when I opened a new page. It can be a bookmark, a link open in a new tab using CTRL-click left or whatever. The following scenario always translates into the window loses focus (for me).

    1. Open Firefox.
    2. Open this link and save it.
    3. Close, and then reopen Firefox.
    4. Open the page just a bookmark using the bookmarks list and do not touch the window.

    I read this page a day, so when I launch Firefox and open the page, I click on it in order to scroll, etc...

    Firefox 13, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

    I wish this site had 'Preview' for its positions. Geez Louise.

    This can be caused by a recent update of Flash 11.3.

  • Folder of Windows/Install Clean or update install Cleanup Utility

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition and my folder C:/Windows/Installer is 21 GB.  I googled how to clean safely this folder but all answers point to Installer Cleanup Utility.  I found this note on the site which provided the program download "Windows Installer Cleanup (MSICUU2.exe) utility that was previously referred to as in this article resolved a few installation problems but sometimes cause problems with other programs or components installed on the computer. For this reason, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download Center. "Is there a solution to update?

    Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows Installer Cleanup utility and removed from its server to download because, according to Microsoft "while the utility Windows Installer Cleanup fixed some installation issues, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer."

    I didn't know all the information about the "other components" were damaged or under what circumstances, but I guess someone, something had some time, fool you.

    However, you can still get the Installer Cleanup utility, including the utility msizap.exe (which is packed with the Installer Cleanup utility but is not the same thing), http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html

    If you want to be ultra careful, get you the imagery of disk or disk cloning software to backup (which is A good thing to have in any case) and create a complete backup of the drive before using the program installation Cleanup Utility or msizap.  In this way, if anything goes wrong in fact, you can restore your system from backup.

  • Is there an easy way to copy all of a Hotmail folder in a folder of Windows?

    Copy of one of Hotmail mails in the folder Windows is terrible. Is there a way to copy all of a Hotmail folder in a folder of Windows?

    Hello Pope Clementius,.

    Thank you for visiting the community! You can copy your Hotmail emails on your computer using Windows Live Mail to connect to your email. You can download Windows Live Mail from:

    Windows Live Mail

    ·         Download and install Windows Live Mail

    ·         Open Windows Live Mail

    ·         Enter the account information in the Connection Wizard

    ·         Wait for email to be downloaded onto your computer

    ·         Once the download is complete, exit Windows Live Mail

    ·         Click Start

    ·         Click on my computer

    ·         In the address bar, paste this address: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

    ·         Open a folder that will look like Hotmail (*) where the asterisks could be anything

    ·         Here will display your folders (Inbox, drafts, etc.), open the folder you want to copy on your computer

    ·         Press Ctrl + a on your keyboard to select all

    ·         Right click on a file highlighted

    ·         Click copy

    ·         Open the folder that you want to copy the emails to

    ·         Right-click on an empty spot in the folder

    ·         Click Paste

    When you delete/move emails in Windows Live Mail or online access email on your computer in the Application Data folder will be deleted/moved as well. That's why you need to copy the mails to another location so that the copies are not deleted/moved.

    Hope that helps, I look forward to hearing from you.

  • loss of the contents of the 'sent items' folder in windows mail

    Somehow all my emails sent in the 'sent items' folder of windows mail have been dumped. It's the second time that this has happened almost two years, I've been using vista. I checked to make sure that "show all messages" is accused in the "current view" for this folder. What could have caused this? These messages are recoverable? I often see messages sent from various pieces of information and would like to have them back.

    I suggest you go after that each file previous e-mail from the Windows directory where they are stored (and not only the sent items folder) and bring them into a separate file.  Then open with your e-mail program to access the sent items folder that it contained - but I now see that Windows Mail does save all emails in a file separated as it happens with Outlook using a PST file to store emails, but rather to the separate folderr, but I think they can be stored as .eml files as well as in folders so it is still possilble).  I read what follows in another post: "Windows Mail stores mail in files .eml, a file for each message, more more information about messages came together in a single file over (sorry, I don't remember his name)." I think that there is also a file for each folder. All these files are, by default, hidden - which means that you must activate the search for hidden and system files when looking for them. "I don't know for certain if this is accurate or if it will help, but it can mean that snapshots might work if you go after types of file using Windows Explorer and not Windows Mail.  But I think that one of the following products will work better (and faster) since some seem to be capable of managing entire folders at the same time.

    Here are a number of free file recovery programs that may be able to help you.  Try them in the suggested order.  For this you will need to at least know the name of the folder and perhaps file names (or least their extensions - although in some cases that is perhaps not necessary).  I am not sure if these will work with Windows Messaging files, but I think that it's worth it to check a few is:

    http://www.watchingthenet.com/recover-deleted-files-folders-in-Windows-with-free-undelete-utility.html (try this one first because it says it can recover entire folders and then you do not have to know the names of files)

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (try Recuva second - it is the best for general file recovery and can also operate in this case).

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (if you wan't to keep trying, try this next.)  If it doesn't work, the chances of the any of these work programmes is very thin but you can try as much as you want).

    http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

    http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

    Here is a commercial program which claims can be done, but it costs $99: http://www.diskinternals.com/mail-recovery/.

    Here's another commercial program that costs $69: http://www.vistafilerecovery.com/email-recovery.

    Here's another commercial program that costs $50: http://www.emailadept.com/Windows-Mail-Recovery.htm.

    Here's another commercial program that costs $40: http://www.tech-pro.net/windows-mail-recovery.html.

    I hope that one of the free programs can help, but if not, then I hope one of the commercial products helps if you want to spend money on recovery.  I don't recommend commercial products - I don't know any one of them and just offer them as an option.  Most include a free trial where you can see what you are able to get it back before you actually buy it so the risk in these cases is minimal - but I'm not entirely sure how they will interact with your system - once again, I only offer them upward in option and you should use them at your own risk.  Regiarding all of the 3rd party software, Microsoft does not recommend this product and you install and use at your own risk.

    Honestly, I hope that you are able to recover your lost emails using one of the above programs.

    Good luck!

  • How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.

    I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?

    Thank you. -David

    I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".

    With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    -and then restart Firefox.

    If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

  • After the upgrade to Firefox 33.0 several present black Windows PCs with white surround when Firefox is started

    All of our facilities improved to 33.0 this morning Firefox
    Most of the users were then able to continue to use Firefox without problems
    However, about 10% found that when they started Firefox, they were presented with black windows with white outline

    This problem seems to be related to having an older version of the driver for the Intel HD Graphics 3000 card.

    The solution is to upgrade the driver.

    Temporary work is close to being to launch Firefox in Mode without failure, then uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available" on the Options > advanced > general tab of the Firefox menu.
