Trying to simply open a .html file using file:// on Linux - it is adding an extra slash and do not find the file

Ideally, I would like to be able to launch Firefox from my Linux command line and just open a file html on my hard drive. Not knowing the exact syntax and do not receive a love on my first attempts, instead, I launched Firefox and typed file://path/to/myfile.html in the address bar. However, instead of seeking to "path/to/myfile.html" Firefox is adding an extra slash and declare that it does not find ' / path/to/myfile.html'. I tried a few variations but seem not to be able to work around this problem.

Any suggesstions?

The file: Protocol takes 3 slashes after the colon for some reason any.

Is your shell allow you to right click on the file and open it in Firefox? That would be the quick and dirty way to discover the path that prefer Firefox.

  • Problems with the photos in El Capitan-cant app drag in other applications and can not find the photos when using Word

    I feel very disappointed with the new iMac (27 inch high range) I bought specifically so that I can work quickly with video editing - BUT who currently my old iMac with Snow Leopard on my desk and still use it to create documents in Word, etc, among other things. He really miss the old iPhoto - all about it. Not like the new photos app at all and I was wondering if I can install iPhoto on the new computer? We're stuck with the white background of the screen and do not like the new editing panel either - I had my screen tonic to a shade of gray that is visually not too exhausting to watch as the white. Is there a way to customize the color of the workspace I have forgotten?

    I'm not also able to drag and drop photos from the app directly in other applications - this was a great feature that could work very quickly. Can't believe that Apple went backwards with this? Or am I still missed something once?

    Also, now, I tried to create a new document in Word and when you open the photo browser to import an image from photos in the document, there is no pictures - all other media is accessible but no pictures, not so to drag picture on the desktop then document - once again, having Apple went backwards , or I'm going crazy?

    Hoping that I do not regret this purchase very expensive!

    A beautiful (and expensive) iMac. Congratulations.

    The latest version of iPhoto still works in (a little hard to get 'quiet' Photos.app) ElCapitan, see a lot of discussions here.

    Drag-and - déposer is depending on the applications. There is still work, as usual.

    Word is updated to the latest? I heard there were a few problems, but they should be solved now.

  • Trying to get my $18 update of the recently purchased Windows 7 to Windows 8 and can not find the record ID number

    Page updated MS asks for 'Registration ID or reference ID'. Where Devil can I find that?
    There are 4 digits on the OEM sticker on my computer - none of those who worked.
    Nowhere on the page Web MS does say where to get the ID.
    I googled and can't find where to find.
    I tried Win 7 product ID of my computer - no dice
    Help!

    I found the solution.
    I was on the page:
    http://windowsupgradeoffer.com/en-au/home/ProgramInfo
    The only way forward from there was to select a menu "My order" item, which asked for a record ID.
    I rang MS and the guy went to the same web page and at the bottom was a continue"" button. Not on my browser then or since. He and I were using FireFox. (Yes a tech MS using FF!). He guided me to the registration site directly using the url:
    https://windowsupgradeoffer.com/en-au/registration
    Once there, I could register for the upgrade. Once which was finished, I got one - wait that he - a "registration ID".
    Thank you all for your comments, much appreciated.

    Norton and any program Windows Mail have major conflicts.  So it could be due to Norton, or it could be because of the message is marked as read and you have set it to hide read messages.  So make sure that you have configured in sight. Current view | Show all messages.

  • In the last week of firefox won't open a new empty tab and will not bring upward bookmarks options organization when I bookmark on a page. I have not changed my settings and can not find the settings that cause this difference. Any ideas?

    I hear a new empty tab, this is what happens if I click on the button with the + next door already open tabs or navigate to the file and click New tab nothing.

    Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.

  • I'm trying to translate an English page and can not find the command. Anyone know where it is?

    I try to access a Web site for more information and the link takes me to a page in a pictographic language (Japanese, Chinese, Korean). I can't find out how to ask Google or Firefox to translate the page in English. Someone knows how to do this? Thank you!

    Firefox does not have a built-in language translator, unfortunately. There are to many Add-ons that can connect to sites/services of translation of other companies, or possibly to make a translation in place. I have not tried these myself:

  • I can't open a HTML file with linked flash

    I have Flash CS3.  I created a flash file.  If I click on the SWF I have no problem to open it.  He plays.  It's very pretty.  I'm the man.

    However, now when I try to publish, the HTML file will not work.  It says "windows cannot find this file, please make sure that you typed the location correctly.

    I am double clicking on the file and do not type anything, in fact I considered check on Ebay to see if I could spend my PC for eyes.

    The feature has worked before, this brings me to the conclusion that something has changed.  I tried to use the post parameter, I also tried to use Dreamweaver to embed the file and have also tried to manually insert the code necessary after having seen some on a Web site.

    All these things produce the same result, windows can not (or not find the required file).

    It is an odd one and very frustrating, can someone help me at all?


    Cheers in advance,

    Click on file/publish settings/formats and tick html and swf (if they are not already checked) and click 'use default namespace'.

    Click file/save as and navigate to a directory where you want to your fla, html and swf and you can find it again and click Save.

    Click on file/publish.

    Now open the HTML in the directory where you saved your fla.

    any problem?

  • Firefox can't open. HTML files

    I use Firefox 14.0.1. I can't open any sort of. File HTML (written in Notepad) in Firefox when in other browsers, I can open these normally. When I try to open my HTML file to test in Firefox, they could not be opened rather than I get some not sorted as Chinas scripts or something like that (I don't know clearly what kind of language)
    I do not understand what to do?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    A few questions about your HTML file.

    First of all, using unusual fonts? "Outline" or "vector" fonts usually give more reliable results in browsers. It is Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New.

    Second, you get different results if you use file > save as (in Notepad) and change the ANSI or UTF-8 encoding? I think that those who are the most commonly used for web pages. The drop-down list coding is just to the left of the button Save.

  • Open Local HTML file in the browser to the app?

    Hello

    We have a question, we want to make a link to a local HTML file form in a DPS article, it takes the HTML file to open in the browser in application; We cannot use an overlay of web content for this feature. We are able to do this easily with the content of a source online by creating a link to go to the URL of the Web site in the URL section.

    Is it possible HTML form resources folder and can it be tested in adobe content viewer?

    Or better yet can we easily link to a local folder using the go to URL with a local file path? If so what would it be?

    Thank you

    Dream awake

    Yes, you can open an HTML file in a browser in app by adding the HTML file to the HTMLResources.zip. Create a button with an action to go to the URL that looks like this:

    HTMLResources/HTML_Local/index.html

    Make sure that you create your HTMLResources.zip file correctly and transfer it into the folder. You can test it in Adobe Content Viewer on iPad or on the desktop so that get you a glimpse of the folio (not article or page layout).

    Basically, you use the same technique to post a link to the HTML file that you use to post a link to the PDF files. For more details, see the application of DPS tips > Advanced overlays > linking to PDF files.

  • Animate edge could not find the associated html file

    Hey everybody,

    I've done several projects using edge animate 1.0, each of them worked perfectly. But now I need to make some changes, and several of them display an error saying that couldn't find the html file associated with the project, even if the file is just in the same folder. I opened the .a file in a text editor and checked the HTMLFileName attribute points to the correct file. I've attached a screenshot of the error.

    If anyone has an idea of what is the cause and how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated, as I didn't have a chance in what I tried to do and need to edit these files as soon as possible.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey again, have you tried to simply open the .html (not the .a file) file to animate? EA reads data from the JS so that give a whirl.
