Links in various applications more open Firefox 3.6.3. What has changed?

Before the update of Firefox, clicking on a link in my applications (for example: MS Office 2000, Secure Shell) would trigger the opening of Firefox and view the Web site.

After the upgrade process, Firefox does not open. Must open Firefox and paste it into the URL.

Using Firefox 4.0.1? Will show you the details of your system runs 3.6.3 which makes your comment about the upgrade of weird noise (?).

If you always use 3.6.3, click help | Check For Updates a.s.a.p. because there was a security breach at Comodo which is a certificate SSL provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. They allow an attacker to spoof the identity of any site including online banking and the version of Firefox you are using for the moment not will warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates have been developed the index in v3.6.17 and beyond.

But assuming that 4.0.1 click Firefox, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the general tab, check 'always check to see if Firefox is the default starting browser' and click on the button control.

In earlier versions, the menu path is via Tools | Options | Advanced.

  • What has changed on my computer? I was able to create folders and can no more do this...

    What has changed on my computer? I was able to create folders and can no more do this... I have Windows 7 with Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010... before uninstalling some software yesterday, I could create a new folder. now I can create is no longer a new folder.

    How can I solve this problem?
    Thank you

    Hello Annette,.

    It is a problem for a long time under Windows 7. To solve it I recommend that you only install the following program - FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

    After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

    Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

  • Unable to connect to the local intranet site now with 40 Firefox on OS 10.10.4, what has changed?

    We have a local intranet site and I get in this very well, but go to click on a link that goes to another internal site for our list of phone and it does not ask for my credentials get into the page, it is just straight up with a 401 error, as I entered the wrong credentials. Things were fine with 39.0.3 and I have since then returned to her. Using Firefox 40 on Windows 7, he asked for credentials. I was wondering if there is some sort of bug in the OS X version?

    I have not registered and not connected to other windows or tabs already passwords.

    Something has changed in Firefox 40, but don't know what. I watched the news of the changes, but haven't seen anything coming out that may have caused this.

    If you control the environment, then you could try to operate by affecting network.auth.allow - subresource-auth 2 as proposed in the article.
    I know too little about the question of why it would work in a windows environment, but not on os x - it's a bit confusing...

  • FireFox is no longer crash recovery of open tabs. Management of tab has changed. How can I get the old behavior?

    All my old tabs are missing after a crash. I chose "view my tabs, windows and last time ', like the start option. Many unwanted changes in tab management happened recently. For example when I close a tab in a window of the two tab, I see a blank screen (see picture). Preview display seems to be broken (see attachment). How can I get the old behaviour back?

    After researching the issue, it seems that the problem was a problem of NoScript configuration. After restoring NoScript to the default values, the tab number disappeared.

    Thanks for your help.

  • After the last update, I can search is more for nothing. Any idea what has been disabled?

    I recently did a refresh on Firefox and now I can't use the search feature. I restarted in safe mode, I disabled all extensions, and I still have this problem. How can I fix?

    You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.

    If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.

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

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • "What has changed" always opens at startup. How can this be stopped?

  • I down loaded firefox 4 three times and it always looks like the old firefox tabs look alike nothing has changed

    I wanted to update for firefox 4, I did four times and everything seems always the same tabs do not differ as he shows. I ' am running windows 7

    1. If you are missing the orange Firefox button, open view > toolbars and uncheck the Menu bar item.

    2 If the tabs are not over the top, right-click on a toolbar, and then select the tabs on top.

    These two things are usually the default settings for Win7 and Vista, but are not for WinXP - perhaps something in your profile a ker-fluey during the update.

  • because I used my i - pod on my computer, I can't burn CDs more. What has changed?

    I was able to burn the cd before as I used the i - pod, now I can still rip the cd but it does not burn. Is it because I welcomed the songs to mp3, convert status (microsoft i-tunes) and do I change back? How can I change this back?

    To burn a CD, you have basically two options:

    -Turn your mp3 into 16-bit wav files (Google 'free mp3 to wav file converter' - without the ""). Be aware that your files will not be hi fi quality.
    -with the help of a program like CDBurnerXP (Google it) you can burn on the fly - who is transform the mp3 to wav files that you burn. Quality will suffer again.
    To be honest, you would be better, from a point of view quality, re-rip the files directly in wav format - WMP can do this (see Optios, extraction) or software like AudioGrabber (freeware, Google it).
    See you soon,.

  • Firefox can be configured to open the Firefox more recently-active window when you click on a link in another application? Using multiple profiles.

    I think it's really a feature request, but I don't see a forum for this. I used to use firefox almost exclusively, but switched to chrome when I started working freelance for a couple of different companies - the identities of chrome feature really helps me keep my sanity by having a unique identity for each company. However, a problem has recently developed with chrome which brought me back to firefox. The profile under firefox feature seems to have gotten much better since I made the first move, and I'm pretty happy with the way it works... with one exception:

    With firefox, clicking on a link in another application, always opens in the default profile. With chrome, she would always open in the browser window that was most recently active. It's a very intuitive behavior, because everything I do in the other application (e.g. thunderbird, evernote, Skype) is almost always linked to whatever browser window, I had finally opened.

    Any chance to do this implemented? Or maybe there is already a way to do this? I found the following related topics, but neither helped with this issue:

  • After you download Firefox 4, my Google toolbar has disappeared. The new F4 page has no opinion, etc. to tools at the top. WHY I would risk this again by accepting the invitation to download 5?

    After you download Firefox 4, my Google toolbar has disappeared. The new F4 page has no opinion, etc. to tools at the top. WHY I would risk this again by accepting the invitation to download 5?

    Changes in the toolbars:

    I don't like the changes made to the user interface either, rather than to save toolbar space, they would have much more space with 1/10 the functionality. But the important thing is that it's Firefox and you can customize things yourself. Your complaints about the Firefox toolbars are the top 10 items in what follows and they are quickly fixed.

    You can make Firefox 5.0 looks not like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered 1 to 10 points in the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1 resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.

    hostage to the third party toolbar:

    Why you would bind your use of any third-party toolbar browser, which was never really necessary, and even less be hostage to not update to Firefox. Google has had over a year to update their toolbar for Firefox 4 and changes for Firefox 5 could have been tested for several months. Google has waited very long before for finally stating that they would maintain is no longer their toolbar for Firefox, claiming that it was not necessary, and that the items were in Firefox. Also be aware that the features are also in their own browser that also do not need or use the Google toolbar. Not only is Mozilla open source, but all the information is available to anyone - you can even listen online meetings yourself or wait for a printed reviewa.
    There is no change to the user interface of Firefox 4 to 5 and probably even not through Firefox 7

    Life without the Google toolbar:

    You can read this article, on the basis of assessment of own Google features were already in Firefox and expanded from there.

    Kicking a dead horse:

    The Google toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and more ', you may be able to get what you want from him for a limited time, the instructions to install the Google toolbar have been posted before that Google has actually announced a fall support.

    Please mark solved the problems, so based on the best response to your posted question that solves or helped you to find a solution.

  • Audio plays more when Firefox is not the 'active' application on the desktop

    Just updated to the latest version (10.0.1). Audio plays now is more if Firefox is not the 'active' application on the desktop. In the past, I was able to open the Firefox browser, go to a site to listen to the audio, then go to another application on my computer and the audio would play again through my speakers from the firefox website. Now if I do that I lose audio, unless firefox is the 'active' application, which means that if the bar blue top on the browser is blue and not dimmed. I tried the Add on "Always on top" and this does not solve the problem I have. I looked through the various settings and did not see a solution. Can someone tell me if it's change-able or if it will be is no longer possible through browsers firefox?

    DOH! Feel like a jerk! Understand my problem! Sorry! Uh, I (or probably any other) had put the audio for the other app I was using (Avid editing software) on mute, causing the audio does not sink when the firefox browser was not "active".
    Someone else has a similar problem should check to see if the other application you use has the sound 'on '.

  • Yosemite MAC, when I open Firefox I get two windows, when I click on a link in mail, it opens a window not a tab.

    I place the FireFox icon in the dock. When I click to open FireFox it opens two windows both to the homepage. When you click on a link in the email, it will open a window behind the first window rather that open in a tab. There used to be a preference re: opening links, but given that it was useful, it seems that Apple has removed this option unless it's hidden somewhere I can't find.

    What you have is, in my view, two problems.

    • Homepage

    Type of topic: preferences #general< enter > in the address bar.

    There are two settings;

    • At the start of Firefox

    When the browser is started, what you want
    view. Many of us choose view my homepage.

    • Homepage

    When a new page opens up, what do you want displayed.

    1. Use current Page. Use the pages that are never open at this time.
    2. Use the bookmark
    3. Restore by default. topic: Home shows a home page of Mozilla with tools.

    You can use one of these as you want;

    topic: Home (Default Firefox homepage),
    on: newtab (displays the more visited sites),
    Subject: vacuum (a blank page),

    or you can enter any web page or Subject: page you want.
