I don't have any option 'Open with' for downloads

I click on a file in a Web site to open it, but the box pop up no not the option "open with...". ", only the save option. The file type is a text document with the extension ".prg" associated with in my Windows Folder Options to open with Wordpad. Breast of Firefox Tools/Options/Applications, this file type does not appear, so I can't change it. I've read elsewhere where it is blamed on the MIME type in the HTML header, but Microsoft Internet Explorer gets it right every time, only Firefox does not recognize the file type.

"Either way, the same site has files with the extension".chg "I open it with Notepad. Firefox offers the 'Open with' option to these files with Notepad as the defauld, but the "always open with" is grayed out. Not that I care, as the default is what I want, but...

Firefox goes by MIME type, not the type of file, like IE does.

  • Put links to video files in web pages - want option 'Open with' when the viewer clicks on the links.

    If I go to a video file that is stored in my computer, for example xyz.mp4 and right click on it, one of the options is 'Open with' and several options for example QuickTime player, RealPlayer are presented for me to choose. But when I add the file to a web page and create a link to it for example http://sillyvideos.com/xyz.mp4 and then I right click on this link (on the web page) in my Firefox browser, I don't get the option 'open with '. My question is: is it possible to put a link to a video in a web page, so I or other viewers can click right on it and benefit from the option 'open with' (so we can choose the drive to open it, without having to download first in our computers)?

    Normally what happens, is that the server sends the content with one or more headers that dictate what Firefox did with the video.

    For example, if the content is sent with a header that Firefox can play internally, then Firefox can open the video in a tab and use a built-in player. You can see with MP3s when the server says that it is "audio/mpeg" content. However, if the server sends a content type that a capable of handling plugin, Firefox can attempt this plugin.

    Normally Firefox will assume that the content is meant to be displayed in the browser, unless it is an unknown type or has a content-disposition header set to "attachment". In these cases, Firefox usually has open/save/Cancel dialog box.

    I don't know what kinds of choices you want to offer visitors to your site, but if you thought giving them a choice of the players external , sending to content-disposition: attachment to make appear the probably the most logical open/save/Cancel dialog box. With smaller files such as JPEG and PDF, I did it with a script on the server side (for example, a PHP script). I don't know if the script would work with multimedia files.

    If you want to provide more choices, you might need the buttons or links in the page.

    This example applies to a PDF file, but the same idea applies to the image files and it can work with files more mainstream media. (In this case, you change the script to specify the correct content type.)

    Implementation of the PHP approach, you follow these steps. This assumes that your server supports PHP (most do so) and that your Web host allows you to download PHP files.

    (1) save the following as getpdf.php file

    http://www.jeffersonscher.com/RES/getpdf.php.txt

    (2) using a FTP software or your server download function, copy getpdf.php into the same folder as your PDF file

    (3) test with your link. In the address bar, or in an e-mail, insert the following text before the name of the PDF file:

    getpdf.php?f=
    

    Thus, for example, this direct link to the PDF:

    http://www.jeffersonscher.com/RES/Mixed_Content_Blocking.PDF

    would become this link to the PHP file:

    http://www.jeffersonscher.com/RES/getpdf.php? f =Mixed_Content_Blocking.pdf

    I'm unable to remove the protection, when I open the file - properties - security. I don't have an option to remove protection, how can I remove it?

    Hi aymana10507726,

    With player application you can not remove the protection.

    However, you can perform using Acrobat application.

    Remove password security

    You can remove security from an open PDF if you have the permissions to do so. If the PDF is secured with a security policy based on server, only the author of policy or a server administrator can change.

    Open the PDF file, and then click Tools > Protect > Encrypt > remove security.

    Your options vary depending on the type of password security attached to the document:

    If the document contains only a Document open password, click OK to delete the document.

    If the document contains a permissions password, type it in the box, enter the password, and then click OK. Click OK again to confirm the action.

    Kind regards

  • One of my computers works very well to display my beneficiaries of my bank online and the other computer says that I don't have any beneficiary, worm 35 on both.

    Everything on my online banking Web site works fine except the display of my beneficiaries. It does not, he tells me that I don't have any beneficiary. This function works very well on my backup computer with 16, 32, and 35 versions.

    That's what my Bank said:
    There was some problems with the compatibility of Firefox to view online recipients. Please, try the following steps to clear the cache and delete cookies. If there is still a problem, start Firefox in Mode safe. While you are in safe mode, press the < Alt > or < F10 > to display the toolbar. Then select Tools > Options > advanced > general. Find and stop using hardware acceleration.

    Boot in safe mode to fix the problem, but it's a bit of a pain. A refreshment or a reset seems a little drastic and I would like to know what exactly is the problem before using the shotgun approach.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the replies. I have try to disable hardware acceleration, but probably no connect fees. My only add-on is edge of adblock and I disabled it for the site. The thing is, I don't want to disable either of these elements. I'll just start firefox in safe mode, if I need to access my beneficiaries. I was hoping that someone may know something that is bad in my profile that has carried over from previous versions or another kind of corruption. It seems strange that an entire site could work very well with hardware acceleration, but not to this one point.

  • In some websites, I don't have the option to display something. I have to save the file and then look it up.

    An example is the site of my bike club. When I click on 'View', instead of being able to view the item, I can record it only. On IE I can see so save it. Is there a setting I need to change or is it a function of virus protection?

    I'm not registered, so probably, I don't see the content of problem... What did you try to view? If it is an executable file, Firefox will not have the option 'open '. This is a safety feature. However, most content of the web site is not executable, so it could be a problem with the way the site is coded (this isn't inform Firefox in the usual way from the nature of the content).

  • in firefox 4, I don't have the option to save image then right click on a photo in facebook. my friends say they do. Why can I not?

    I have windows xp and start using firefox, I'm very happy with firefox but in IE I always pick up pictures of family and friends on facebook. That is to say all I do is right click on the image and choose Save image as in firefox, but that I don't have that option when I right click on a photo. My friends who use firefox say they do. What should I do to fix this? also when I've upgraded to firefox 4 I no longer get a list of friends farmville and other games to send gifts. I use IE to get photos and if I want to give something in games.

    It's a Facebook problem - because they changed during the display of the slideshow of pictures you can save.

    Easy answer, open a photo as usual, when the photo appears in the black slide show, click the Refresh button on the toolbar at the top of the FF - the photos back to the old FB style show pictures - then do a right click and "save image option is there...

    You fill opacity just under the opacity slider. This option is set to 0 (zero) will remove all fill layer but will keep visible regardless of the layer in fact you added (drop shadow, bevel, seamless tiling patterns and so on). Transparent mosaic pattern is not to be texture wood or material, it may be something like lines, bands and so on even with a transparent background.
