Firefox (yet) open several tabs when I open any PHP file

I tried all of the fixes suggested in your article, including removing mimeTypes.rdf, change the default browser for files PHP and my PC for malware analysis. The problem is still ongoing. Any ideas? Thank you.

Thanks much for the reply, cor - el. I've been teaching myself PHP for the last month or two, so I downloaded on my PC at home of Apache and PHP files are mine. In fact, the problem of multiple tabs started right after I updated Firefox to version earlier this week. The strange thing is that the same PHP files open perfectly fine before the update.

In any case, I found a workaround on www.bleepingcomputer.com. Instead of double-clicking the PHP file, which causes the problem of multiple tabs, I type the path of the PHP (for example, localhost/index.php) file in the URL in Firefox toolbar. The file works as before without having to open the tabs. It is not an ideal solution, but it will do for now.

  • When opening a PDF file, a new tab will open, but it will be empty, it do not download or open any pdf file, it just started the last 3 days...!

    Hello
    I'm about to remove Firefox from my computer because he lost hours of my time, and none of the online troubleshooting answers are no help.

    Until recently, I was able to open PDF files in my browser window, and today its impossible to open any pdf file, it will not download if I choose to download it.

    This issue is ongoing, and shut down for almost a year and I downloaded the Nitro PDF module to solve previously as Adobe reader add-on did nothing. Today in the menu options of applications where I can choose the program I want to open PDF files with I can't find the option NitroPDF reader, so I chose the add-on Adobe and no matter how many restarts it refuses to open all PDFs, all I get is a new tab open and empty.

    Internet Explore opens PDFs very well, so I know it's not computer associate.

    I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, Firefox Version 19.0.

    If there is a way to fix this, please help because I am currently at the end of my patience.

    Kind regards

    19 FF has its own Viewer for pdf files. It doesn't seem to work properly. The screens are either poor quality or empty. Printing using the bad characters and spacing of bad character. Some impressions of color and others are not.

     Thankfully, it is easy to revert to using some other pdf viewer, such as Foxit. Go to Tools / Options / Applications and scroll down to "Portable Document Formay (PDF)", and change it to your preferred pdf viewer.
     Your problem is solved!
    
  • Firefox guard loading old tabs when you restart

    Firefox guard loading old tab when closed and a new Firefox has been started. (My startup home page is set to "restore default". I even updated sessionstore 0 throughout; config) always the same question

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder of Firefox that store session data.

    Delete the sessionstore.js file possible sessionstore-# .js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and tab groups and opened and closed the tabs (back) to get lost, so you will need to create them again (take note or bookmarks).

  • Firefox 4 the "Close tab" button is missing from the "File" menu drop-down

    In Firefox 4, the "Close tab" button appears not in the "file" pull down.

    This button appears in Firefox 3.6.16 but is now gone.

    I need when I have two windows open, each with one tab open and I want to close a window.

    The only option presented to me is "Quit", that closes both windows...

    It would be good [if they insist on the order being missing] to have SOMETHING beyond the CTRL-W command [which fortunately works again]. I thought it was a windows application and not BACK. I hope that the command is available in a menu drop down, especially because it has a long history of existence in a rational place.

    It will be interesting justify how to remove a menu command dropdown is somehow "better".

  • I got rid of the Vista Security virus, now I can't open any .exe file and DOS commands do not the case.

    I used a program to blow this stupid fake virus Vista Security that's happened here. Subsequently, I can't open any .exe files. If I open a file saved in this format (for example, a Microsoft Word file recorded) will be open, but not all of the original programs themselves. I can't do a system restore because it's a .exe. The DOS commands, including the .com-style those don't work either! Help please!

  • Cannot open any office files or icons, the Panel even not. Help!

    Hello
    I really need help desperately. I can't open any office files or icons. I restored to the point the closest that I can, but no difference. Cannot open the Panel even from the Start button. My compuetr crashes every time I double-click or right-click on the icon 'My Computer' or 'My Documents '.
    My restore CD that was shipped with the Toshiba Satellite 1800 does not work either. Help, please! I'm really desperate!
    Jess

    What do you think average with "I tried with the restore CD but nothing '? Have you tried to completely format your HARD drive? I had a similar problem, but in my case it was because of the transplant of BONE... so I reinstalled the system from the beginning and it was ok.
    If you can not solve this problem with the cd supplied by the factory... I think it might be a hardware problem, probably due to the HARD drive. Your HARD drive makes strange noises, like "Click - Clack"?

  • I can't get player XI to open any PDF file. What can I do?

    I can't open any PDF file with reader XI. I tried a repair and re install and nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions

    A few things to try...

    • Upgrade to Reader 11.0.5
    • Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, and then double-click Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    • You can open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try to disable the Protected Mode [Edit |] Preferences | (Improved) security].
    • If Reader opens in itself, try to disable the Safe_mode in the registry; Download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    • It might even be a malware problem; See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • When you open a PDF saved on my computer, Firefox will open several tabs for all of the PDF files I have in a folder. Why?

    Recently, I tried to open some files in Adobe to view on my company computer. They have been recorded on my shared drive companies, and everyone seems to be able to open the files very well. When I try to open the files the program proceeds to open Firefox and wonder through the internet, if I want to download the file. At the beginning it wasn't a problem, because it was just a minor inconvenience. So today, I was working in a folder containing several files PDF (about 125 to express my frustration) and when I click on a file to open it, Adobe proceeded to open all PDF files in the folder. This means that each file opened a new tab in Firefox and proceeded to ask me if I wanted to download it. As I hope you can tell, I quickly became frustrated because I wanted only one file and it would not stop opening new tabs to ask me the same question 125 times. The only way to stop it was to open the Task Manager and go forward to force Firefox altogether.

    I tried to update the program on my computer (it was already up to date), I tried to update the plugin Firefox (it was already up to date) to adobe, I tried the repair Adobe Reader Installation (it doesn't make a difference), and I searched the internet for information about the problem (I was not successful in finding something that relates). According to me, the only thing that I did is to uninstall and reinstall the program on my computer, something I do not want to make I already said that it is a company computer.

    If there is someone who can help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful. Thank you for your time.

    Then, you need Adobe Reader, the default application to open PDFs, instead of FireFox. I think that FireFox just started doing this, and it is causing some confusion.

    As well as the normal way of Windows to change the default application, which is not also known as it should be, you should be able to use Adobe Reader. In Edit > Preferences in the General section and see if there is a button "select default PDF Manager."

  • Firefox keeps asking me to open/download PHP file when she used to be able to display properly.

    I use to be able to view local PHP files normally in Firefox with parts PHP not rendered, HTML elements are. Now he's asking if I want to open or save.

    I tried FF editing options so that it presents a preview in FF, but it does not accept the changes. I cleared my cache and everything. I tried to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file thing, but I can not find the folder, in that it is. I tried deactivating/activating "prompts.tab_modal.enabled" in subject: config then restarting FF.

    All are prohibited.

    Web PHP pages load correctly, this problem only when I am trying to load local PHP files. I don't want to install XAMPP or PHP on my computer just to view the files them that I've never had this problem before.

    In the meantime, I installed Chrome and it loads a local simple PHP file very well while FF asks me to save/download when you open the SAME file. Thanks in advance for any help.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file

    Try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all the actions file.
