From Firefox 26, MP3 on Windows XP opens in the browser with the built-in player. The user should be better informed.

It is only after a few hours of research I found the solution on this page [ http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions ] that specifies the action to correct the problem (change the value of media.directshow.enabled). This implies the use of: config.

Frankly I have better to do with my time than to make Firefox to continue to behave as before. Many people download mp3 podcasts, this new behavior is not helpful!

I think that (1) proposed by the built-in default player is not good (even if you are proud of it), you should offer it as an option in the tools > Options > Applications list.
I take the time to write this because I think FFX is a good product, but these changes without warning are likely to alienate loyal users, including me.
Best wishes

  • Everytime I open firefox, I get a window that opens. Doesn't happen with IE or Chrome

    Whenever I open Firefox, I get another window that opens on the home page. It's almost empty with a few lines at the top of the page and the registration of the user of words. It has happened since Firefox updated on my computer yesterday, even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

    That's great! Please make sure you choose the solution so that others can benefit from. Also, it's users like you that make the difference when you report.

  • When I open firefox v 37.0.2 that open all the tabs from the previous session, I do want my homepage tab to open

    This problem started when I refreshed recently Fire Fox due to other problems I had. Options > general > fire fox on startup is set to 'show my home page ". In the support forum, I found another user with the same problem and the solution for him had to do with the user.js file in the profile folder? Subject: config? In any case, the answer was to delete that file, or better yet delete all the text in it and save this file empty and set it to read only to prevent it from reappearing. That's all beyond me and my skinny computer knowledge and I don't even know if I have a user.js file. Help, please

    My problem is now solved. I don't know if there's someone else out there who would do what I did, but just in case, I'll tell you at the end of the day, what was causing the multiple tabs to open every time I opened Firefox, at least as far as I understand. While I contemplated the helpful response more returned hoping to understand what was wrong with my Firefox, my son has shown out of town and 5 minutes, he found out what I did wrong. In Options > general > Home Page, I got an address which included not only the home page I wanted 'Google News', but apparently the addresses of all the other tabs this guarded appearance until when I started towards the top of Firefox. Maybe it's not exactly the right explanation, but change the homepage to "News.google.fr" solved the problem. Thanks to everyone out there who gave their best to help me, I'm sure it's hard to solve problems like that when he would never come to you that someone would do the things they do. Thanks again.

  • Can't access Gmail from Firefox, using my laptop Windows 8.1

    Hello

    I FVD Speed dial and Eversync installed on my Windows 7 laptop which I use for ages now and never had any problem. One of my speed dials is for my Gmail account, but I can't get into my email on my laptop which has Windows installed from Firefox or Cyrco 8.1 Although I can do without difficulty using Chrome and Opera. On this same laptop (ongoing enforcement W8) everything speed dials are great - it's only the Gmail that does not work and I get the following message:

    "The page is not redirecting properly".

    Firefox has detected that the server redirects the request for this address in a way that will never end.

       This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."
    

    I tried every simple troubleshooting guide I can find (including going in about: config and make changes there) but nothing works and it seems (from what I've read) does anyone else have this perculiar problem that I am experiencing.

    Gmail is one of the dials speed that I use most, it becomes really frustrating and I love this browser so don't want to abandon it, but if I can't solve this problem I'm afraid I'll have to.

    Can someone help me please?

  • Firefox blocks ("crashes") almost everytime I open a second browser window. How can this be repaired?

    I recently (about a month) downloaded the latest version of Firefox, and since then, the browser crashes almost everytime I open a new window in Mozilla browser. I've never had this problem in the past.

    You use the default theme? If no, place you in default theme.

    If this isn't a problem with a 3rd party theme, try Firefox SafeMode.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the other modules.

    1. You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    2. Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • 50 Firefox on Win10 now refuses to open files the

    FF50 on Win10 will not open local files, such as file:///C:/Users/MN/Documents/something/index.html. She claims that the file is inaccessible. No problem on macOS 10.12.1. It's VERY new behavior - I've never had this problem before. I run an application that produces web pages, and I need to preview them before you download, it is a MAJOR obstacle. Chrome and Edge have no trouble with that.

    I think it's done for reasons of security, but I need to be able to ignore it. I'll take the risk.

    If you start from

    file:///C:/

    You can navigate your way to this folder? To what extent can you get?

    For the love of science, could test you a few other methods open index.html in Firefox to see if none of them work:

    • Double-click the file in Windows Explorer (if Firefox is your default browser)
    • in Windows Explorer, right click on the file > open with (if indicated)
    • Drag - move the file in Windows Explorer to a Firefox tab
    • in Firefox: File menu > open the file (or Ctrl + O)

    One of the changes in Firefox 48 + title is e10s, separating the browser interface process the process of content page (happy process move plugin - container.exe). When you first install Firefox (or empty your profile), Firefox evaluates if your system is compatible with e10s and sets a flag to enable a at your next session. That would explain how the second run was different from the first, so let's check on that.

    Are you using e10s?

    You can check if you have this feature enabled as follows. Either:

    • button '3-bar' menu > '? ' button > Troubleshooting Information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press enter/return

    In the first table on the page, find the line "Multiprocess Windows" and see if the number on the left side of the fraction is greater than zero. If so, you are using e10s.

    If you use e10s:

    To determine if this feature is causing this problem, you can turn off as follows:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the cars and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 to switch the value from true to false

    Note: the exact name of this preference may vary, but it will start by browser.tabs.remote.autostart

    On your next startup of Firefox, it must be run in the traditional way. Any difference?

  • Windows7 windows show open on the taskbar, but seem to be out of the screen-how can I get the focus?

    New Windows 7 and Firefox - icon in the taskbar, but will not display the window on the screen. When I put the cursor on the icon the little windows show which is open. It seems that the windows display is somewhere off the coast on the right side of the screen. Don't have a clue as to how it happened. How can I get the windows on the desktop where I can see? Thanks for all the tips that will help you.

    In Windows 7, pressing/holding the windows key and right arrow key FINALLY made the window reappear to me! Deleting the localstore.rdf did NOT work for me, unfortunately.

  • When you use "cmd + click link" to open a link from Gmail in a new tab - tab opens in the foreground the background square.

    When I receive links sent in Gmail and I want to view them I usually 'Press cmd + click on the link' Open link in a new window. When I do that in Gmail it opens as a foreground tab, even if my default action is to open in the background.

    This is not the case in Hotmail or other site - just for Gmail. If I right click and open in new tab, then it opens correctly in a background tab but I wish that this action using 'cmd + click' if possible.

  • Refresh the parent page while a modal window is open to the APEX 5.

    Does anyone know if there is an easy way to do this in APEX?  Here are more details:

    I have an APEX 5 page with a report that shows orders for a customer.  The user presses a button to open a popup that allows them to add commands to the State.  If we add a firm order the modal pop-up window and the report is refreshed.

    However, I also have an ' Add and add another "button that adds the command to the collection, the report is based on and then deletes fields on the modal to allow another order to be entered."

    The user can see the report in the background, but the controls are not added until they close the modal window.

    Is anyway to update the classic/pages in the background report to give the user a visual indication that an order has been added every time they press 'add and add another '?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can create a dynamic action with the following javascript code:

    parent. $('#id_standard_report'). Trigger ('apexrefresh');

    You must assign a static ID to your standard report. Replace "id_standard_report" in the code with your code.

  • How can I stop Windows 7, showing all the user once a user disconnects

    Hello

    I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    I went to the Start button. All programs | Accessories | Run, and ran the following command...

    controluserpasswords2

    ... Running this command opens the "User accounts" window, on which I unchecked the option for "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer".  Then, I chose a particular user that I had named "Auto-connect" and entered the password of this user so that this user 'AutoLogon' could be connected automatically on every time the PC boots.  This is how I want to just it.

    The "Automatic logon" user has limited privileges, I want my users to be able to and sign out and then sign in as a user with higher privileges.  Currently, when I try to do it by clicking the Start button, and then selecting Shutdown | Logoff, this brings me to the kind of a "Welcome screen" that displays a a separate icon for each user name which I configured on this PC.

    I really prefer if instead of indicating the name of each user configured at this point, that Windows would require the user to type in here a user name valid (rather than just picking from the list).

    If someone can tell me if this is possible (without giving up the ability to automatically connect my 'Automatic login' user), I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Run the policy editor gpedit.msc, then look for the item "Interactive logon". Now, select the item "do not display last user name."

  • Windows Installer update in the user Session

    I use a WSUS 3.0 Sp2 server and the WUA_SearchDownloadInstall.vbs tscript for install updates on Server 2003 X 64 SP2. Search and download works fine logged on as a user, but the installation fails unless I'm actuall 'connected' as a member of the Administrators group. I tried things like "RunAS" and "PSexec" by using the credentials of the directors, but it still does not install it.

    An excerpt from WindowsUpdate.log. It shows that istrying Windows Update to do something under my ID "HST25772\LOCALUSER" (my user), even if I started the script with PSExec (1.98) and used my administrator credentials. I'm relatively certain that this will cause the failure. If I do a full logon with the same ID Admin, installation works very well. Is there a way to perform the installation of WU part in session 'user' but use PSExec with the Admin ID? All thoughts of work around this would be appreciated.
