Local MP4 files always open with Firefox's built-in video player

I believe before Firefox 35, I was able to open the local links to mp4 files and Firefox would ask me what to do (open, save, etc.). Local links to files mp4 always open in the embedded video player on Firefox with no option to do otherwise. I tried setting "media.windows - media - foundation.enabled' to 'false' and it has no effect on the local links to files mp4." All the other common video formats, I've tested (avi, mpg, wmv) ask me what for, as this is the expected behavior.

To reproduce:

1.) enter URL: file:///path/to/video.mp4
2.) observes that the file opens in the video player built-in with no option to do otherwise

Hello, please put media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to his default preference and try to activate media.play - stand alone false instead.

  • Why Firefox always opens with the last session tabs?

    When I open firefox always opens with the last session tabs? How can I solve this problem?

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.

    The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

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

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
    You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • How can I get the address book to always open with personal addresses. It opens with "all address books.

    When addressing and e-mail, addresses always open with "all the address book. This book contains many addresses which are not intended for daily use for most of the mail I write or pass. I want to always open with "Personal address book" to shorten the research process. I have not had any problems with this before the last update.

    Firefox does not have email or have an address book, it is strictly a web browser.

    If you use Firefox to access your e-mail, you use "webmail". You must seek assistance from your service provider or a forum for this service.

  • Accidentally activated always open with .n64 for Adobe

    I recently downloaded an emulator and when I was downloading some N64 roms I clicked always open with Adobe when I was trying to put for my emulator. Now my files .n64 save as pdf files and I can't change the file back extensions. I'm at a loss and super frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    You can resolve this problem by following the steps below:

    1. Open the folder that contains the file you want to edit.

    2. Right click on the file you want to change and then, depending on the type of file, either click Open with or point to open with, and then click on choose a default program. You will need to locate the N64 emulator and click on it, apply the changes and then click on 'OK '.

    3. Click the program you want to use to open the file.

    The opposite is:

    1. Right click on the file that you want to change, and then select the option "Properties". Look for 'opens with: and click the icon that says "Change...".
    2. If the N64 emulator is not in recommended programsor other list to other programs , then click on the "Browse" button and locate the correct program by browsing through the folders (or where the program has been installed).
    3. Click on 'accept' and who is willing to use the files again.

    Please let us know if that helps you solve the problem.

    I thought that this could be a problem of 'lack of police' and, as a test, off Remember lack of fonts. This setting does not seem to the impact of this behavior.

  • iCloud drive text files being opened with numbers

    Before, everything worked fine with text files (.txt files) I have in iCloud drive.

    A tap on iCloud drive and another click on a text file on my iPhone would open the file Notes.

    From some point on (I think I got the same text file open at the same time on my Mac and my iPhone) iCloud drive to text on my iPhone files are opened with numbers.

    Later, when I type a text file to the iCloud drive on my iPhone I have numbers open this file.

    When I press the information next to the name of text file icon, I get a screen of info saying at the top of the right page "open in numbers."

    I have the text file is a file in format (.rtf), there is no problem; Notes opens this file; and the Info screen, top right, for this file says nothing about the application that will open the file.

    This only happens on my iPhone; I have a 5 s, 64 GB, with the latest iOS 9.3.1

    On my Mac everything works fine.

    I tried a "Reset all settings" but that did not work.

    No idea of what is happening and how to fix?

    Even. .txt files will open in figures on iOS of the iCloud drive. Why is this and can it be changed?
