How to open Docx and doc. attachments with Word 2013 from Firefox

I just got a new laptop and installed Office 2013. However, when I try to open an attachment to my e-mail or a document on the web, the box comes up that says: ' Firefox do with this file? I can save the file fine, but when I click on 'Browse' next door 'open with', Microsoft Word is not found. It would be nice to get the document automatically opens in Word. I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but any help would be appreciated.

Which application opens the file if you double-click such a file in Windows Explorer?

If the default program is the word Firefox should offer this application by default.

In the case of an attachment then it would be unlikely that the file is to send with the right MIME type for a doc or docx file, but perhaps also a generic type as "application/octet-stream" that will make Firefox want to save the file.

  • How to open .docx and excel file extensions "xls" files

    I bought a new computer with Windows 8 and can't understand why I can't even open such documents in Windows 7... example extensions: .docx and .xls etcI

    I bought a new computer with Windows 8 and can't understand why I can't even open such documents in Windows 7... example extensions: .docx and .xls etcI

    How can I have access to a remedy for this problem?

    .docx and doc are Microsoft Word files. xls files are Microsoft Excel files.
    The reason why you can not open them is probably that you don't have Microsoft Office or any compatible application installed.

    Despite what you think apparently, Windows 8, nor any other version of Windows, has never included Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, nor any other significant application software. These programs must be purchased, either by themselves or as part of Microsoft Office.

    If your old computer, running Windows 7, came up with one or more of them, it was because the seller who sold delivered as part of the package he has sold, not because this version of Windows came with it. Sellers of some, but not all, do the same with Windows 8 computers (but if they do, it is very likely that a trial version).

  • How to open the files .dll automatically with Adobe Reader via Firefox?

    Hello

    When I print labels eBay via Firefox, a .dll file is downloaded. This used to automatically open in Adobe Reader, but now it opens as a text document in TextEdit, so I have to manually open Adobe Reader, change the options to display "all files", then find the .dll file and open it.

    When I try to change the default application in the preferences of Firefox, I can't find anything with the content type "dll".

    Is there a way to have Firefox automatically opens files .dll with Adobe Reader?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Steve

    Sorry for the delay, but yes, just stop Firefox so that the mimeTypes.rdf file is released.

    Hello

    1. Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
    2. Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
    3. Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
    4. Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
    5. In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
    6. Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.

    PS: im new on this > > please be specific or provide a few examples thanks :-)!

    well a little update!
    Thanks Davide!

    It works > just, I was a little to the beginner to interpret correctly the answer Davide.

    So I put these codes in the main.js file in the JS folder:

    (function () {
        'use strict';
        var csInterface = new CSInterface();
        function init() {
    
            themeManager.init();
    
            $("#something_1").click(function () {
      var csInterface = new CSInterface();
      var extensionPath = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION);
      var imagePath = extensionPath + "/image/samplepicture.jpg";
      csInterface.evalScript("openFile('" + imagePath + "')");
            });
        }
        init();
    }());
    

    And it's the hostscript.jsx inside the JSX file:

    function openFile(imagePath) {
    app.open(File(imagePath));
    }
    

    And the index.html file call it like this:

  • Version 9.0.1 opens on a Google page, with no option of Firefox menu available and no obvious way to access and modify. Firefox is configured as the default browser. Uninstalled and reinstalled several times - same result. Version 8 was fine.

    Once installed, the icon of Firefox opens a Google web browser page that has no toolbar or the navigation buttons. He won't go to Firefox with Google as a research tool. It doesn't seem to be a way to get Firefox.

    You can be in full screen; Press the F11 key to toggle full screen or not.

    If this does not resolve the problem, make sure that the Navigation bar is enabled (checked = displayed; UN - check = not displayed)
