How can I force firefox to open an exact url

I live in England but regularly visit the United States. When I'm in the USA some URLS which I use regularly at home translates automatically to their international counterparts. For example, if I type www.bbc.co.uk at home, this site is loaded. If I'm in the USA, it is translated to www.bbc.com, which does not access the same information.

This is just one example - the same thing happens with other sites.

How to force Firefox to open specific URL I want to access?

Hello, these will be redirects server based on the site to guess your location based on your IP address. There is no way for the browser to work around this, other than using a proxy or VPN service from the United Kingdom...

  • How can I stop firefox from opening a tab in Tools/Options

    Firefox 38.0.1

    Suddenly instead of an open box now I have an open tab when I go in Tools/Options - how can I recover the box and the aperture stop tab, I'd rather be able to see my tab running below the box in Tools/Options, and now I can't. This makes things very difficult.

  • How can I force Firefox to download mp3 files and NOT play?

    Hi guys,.

    I couldn't change the settings of Firefox in this way, that it does not play mp3 files at all (in any kind of player), but allows to decide what with them for example to download the file.

    What I actually did:

    - changed at settings, that I want a dialog or download any file type and NOT use any other option (yes, all of them - not any kind of effect was seen there...)
    - changed especially all mp3-related options to download
    - deactivated ALL plugins and addons
    - about:config -> media.windows-media-foundation.enabled -> false
    - uninstalled ALL types of mediaplayers (Winamp, VLC etc.), but not WMP because it would be very complicated and would cause several bugs
    

    Many updates before (I think it's up to 20 FF or if) you could simply tell FF, I tried to download the file via the settings and now it isn't.

    Is it possible to left I can force Firefox to NOT READ mp3 files in any player and offer my the possibility to download?

    Please do NOT give answers like:

    - right click on the file and save it as ... I allready know that and do not want to use that solution. A few years before it was possible, so it should also be possible to directly click at the file and decide what to do with it. On all the sites I want to use it the possibilities are given and not blocked by the sites or implementations itself.
    

    I thank very you much for your help in advance. I'm desperately trying to find an answer to this question for months...

    Hello TurZ, please set media.windows - media - foundation.enabled back to its default value and turn media.play - stand alone false instead.

  • How can I get Firefox to open a Visio drawing that is saved as a .vdx file? Firefox is fine with Visio drawings, stored as a .vsd files.

    I need to store Visio files in VDX format for compatibility of Subversion.
    When I ask Firefox to open a VOD on the network, it shows correctly the file is a Visio file and asks if I want to save it. I select Yes, then the file opens in Visio.
    When I ask Firefox to open vdx at the same location on the network, it treats the file as a text file and open it immediately - no option to open with or save.
    I tried to reset Firefox, but it did not help.
    The application in Settings tab does not show the Visio file types in both cases.
    The underlying Windows 7 file association for vsd and VDX is set on Visio.

    I'm stalking MS Office plug-ins to see if there is no information there.

  • How can I configure firefox to open a new tab for each new search?

    Each search I've done since the last update, Firefox open the new in the old tab. I have already fixed the Boolean value in browser.search.openintab true in everything: config, but it works only with google search (and not, for example with youtube search).

    This combination works for me:

    • Browser.Search.openintab = true
    • YouTube search plugin installed from YouTube (when green + appeared on the magnifying glass icon on the search bar)

      • by clicking the "punctual".
      • make YouTube the default search engine

    How about other search plugins: those who do not like Google or YouTube?

    I noticed that you have several extensions. Could one of these be alter the functioning of the search bar? You could test mode without failure of Firefox. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

    After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    Any difference?

  • How can I get firefox to open a pdf file in adobe instead of the new pdf reader?

    Before the recent update, 19.0, I google something and see [PDF] next to a link. I click the Center button to open it in a new tab. Firefox might download the file and open it with Adobe Reader. I like this.

    With the new update 19.0, the pdf file would open in the new tab. I have to down load it and then open it in Adobe. I don't like this.

    I'm going to preferences under applications. I look to see if I can change that. Next to document Adobe Reader, I choose to use Adobe Reader, but when I click on a link [PDF], it always opens the file in Firefox and not Adobe.

    I want to go back to the way it was.

    Problem: Open a pdf file in Firefox, he wants to save the file.
    Remedy:
    In Firefox, tools, Options, choose the column on the left (Content Type) Applications tab, select Portable Document Format (pdf). Right column (Action) choose Preview in Firefox.
    I use Firefox 21.0.
