in win 7, all of my shortcuts open as a default file
Hello!in win 7, all of my shortcuts open as default file, ex: all my shortcuts of my programs in my office, open with internet explorer, what should I do?
It seems as if .lnk (shortcuts) are wrongly associated with Internet Explorer. Executes him. Association of LNK REG difficulty from here should solve the problem:

26 of Firefox does not load the home page. Instead, it load the previous session, regardless of what has been entered in 'Options '. The browser runs in Win 7.0 64 bit; Norton Internet Suite 21 provides security features. There are some solutions 'cloud', also running as Google Drive, box, Skydrive and Cubby. The browser behaves in the same way in all my machines (installation and the OS is similar to that described above) and no amount of reset 'Options' seems to affect it. Nor is it affected by the way that Firefox is closed. This is obviously a bug that should be fixed.
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.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

I used Google to my home page. Google went to Google +. I'm not interested. When I opened my Google home page, empty of course, on my HP laptop, Win7, I do not see the top left orange tab that allows me to do "good things". On top of my office, Win XP, I can still see the orange tab. Why is it different? I really need this Orange tab a top left. This is the portal of many features that I use. Thank you!
Please ensure that you have not enabled the menu bar.
This can be done:- Right-click in an empty tab bar area
- Bar menu uncheck the menu drop-down
You are referring to the Firefox button, correct?

Text looks washed out when I launch Firefox or return to the home page.
When I start Firefox, the text on my home page looks like it is washed out or as when a printer is out of black ink and print only the color. If I update then everything is normal. I found that it only does so with Firefox. IE and Chrome are ok. I tried safe mode and removed my extensions one at a time, and she always does.
Try turning off hardware acceleration:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.
You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
Then perform the following steps:
- Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
- In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
- You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
- Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

I recently downloaded Firefox 5 and noticed that all my keyboard shortcuts by default using the 'Alt' key instead of the 'Ctrl' key (so, for example, open a new tab is Alt + T instead of Ctrl + T).
I noticed that this applies even to copy and paste in Firefox (Alt + C and Alt + P is the only commands that work).
No idea why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.
I had this problem. I found that a roaming profile directory has been installed which contained a user.js file in which changed the hotkey of CTRL ALT.
I deleted the profile folder a name randomly in c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles and then I stuck to that of c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles.This bad user.js file was some other parameters, including the definition of the user agent string
"Mozilla/5.0 (X 11;" U; Linux i686; en-US; RV:1.0.0; (Salut, maman) gecko/20020604 "The user.js file is (or similar to) those listed here: https://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html

Firefox will open a bookmark marked pages only
After updating Firefox 20, I can open only the websites that I have bookmarked it or who are in my story. If I manually enter a url or click a link that would open up in a new tab, nothing happens. I don't see any error messages, and I don't have any add-ons installed. Even to access the topic: config does not work.
I backed up my profile and created a new profile without success. I also tried to restart the computer, Firefox Reseting, performed a clean install and nothing seems to work.
It's on a domain running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit computer. Any ideas?
Question business network environment:
20.0 Firefox has a problem with configurations where your Windows profile is stored on a server using a UNC path (for example, \\userdata\jscher2000). A Firefox emergency release is in testing now and should be released in a few days to solve this problem.
In the meantime, one solution might be to choose a local folder for your own settings of Firefox, but that could not be authorized by your COMPUTER. Even if it's less safe, if you need emergency of Firefox, you could switch to Firefox 19.0.2. This article has a link under 'I still want downgrade': install an older version of Firefox.

all minized firefox windows open when I open a new window
I have several firefox windows open and kept to a minimum. When I try to open a new window in firefox, all minimized windows full and are displayed. I am running firefox 8. How can I fix it so that the minimized window is reduced when I open a new window?
Under Windows XP.
This problem may be caused by an extension that does not work properly (possibly Ask.com toolbar).
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.
