• I'm just getting to know Firefox yet once, how do I know why Microsoft put plugins under my Add ons?

  I wanted to know if anyone knows why Microsoft put plugins under my add on area? It is everywhere in my programs and the computer, so that makes no sense to me? I would like to disable this if I don't train any problems on my computer. I use the photo gallery.

       OK    ANSWERED BELOW - The plug-in allows you to open and edit files using Microsoft Office applications
         * Office Authorization plug-in for NPAPI browsers
  

  I also wanted to know how to put the software missing in Firefox. I don't have Adobe shock wave, or Java on my computer. I just make a recovery. I was about to do for software sites, but there are weird things happening near your sites that I don't like. This is such a beautiful home for me!

  Thank you

  Microsoft does not have the plugins with modules - Mozilla has done.

• Why is the 'Documents and Settings' folder hidden and inaccessible?

  I used PC backup for backing up my XP files.  When I restore the files on my Windows 7 computer, I tried to bring it back to the "C:\Users\name\Desktop\test".  There is now a "Documents and Settings" folder hidden and inaccessible in my "C:\Users\name\Desktop\test".  How can I view/delete this folder?

  Short answer:  Because there isn't actually.  Please do not try to access it, you will help break your operating system if you try, and you will lose the ability to run several programs or worse.
  
  
  Why?  The tale:
  The Documents and Settings folder does not really exist in Windows 7.  This is only to fool the bad programs by redirecting to the right place (the Users folder).  Apparently he also deceived you.  It is not a real issue, do not try to access it.
  
  
  Or if you prefer, here's the long Version:
  First of all, the Documents and Settings folder came into existence in Windows 2000.  In order to shorten the path name (there is a limit to how many long letters we) as well as to create other languages of the operating system for use throughout the world, this folder has been renamed a few users in 2006 with the release of Windows Server and Windows Vista.
  Programs built the right way, that is not the real name or spelling (or language) of the book by fine user path, because they use the variable %UserProfile%.  However, many programs have been built the wrong way.  They are absolutely dependent on the existence of a folder called "Documents and Settings", spelled in English.  This program will crash if they do not find the file they want.  So to keep these plant program, Microsoft has created a record of false (called a junction Point) that redirects these programs on the folder of the user.  So if a program think he saved a file in c:\documents and settings\joe\desktop- the file will actually be saved to c:\users\joe\desktop.  The program never knows that he cheated.
  What you need to do:  Go to your Folder Options, tell him to Hide protected operating system files, and then use your computer normally.

• Why Firefox is not a way to uninstall Snap.do and all the malware it puts into the computer of the person?

  I've updated to java and ended up with snap.do as my homepage and search engine. I did some research and found nothing good in this regard, a program typical malware that is not captured by CCleaner for some reason any. It is easily uninstalled chrome and IE, but for some reason Firefox resists efforts to uninstall. It does not appear in the programs to uninstall, how can it be uninstalled with all it's components and why Firefox help in its destructive methods by making its withdrawal so difficult?

• Why firefox built-in PDF Viewer makes windows 10 crashes

  I have a computer with Windows 10. For about two to three months from now, from time to time, my computer/windows crashes when I open or save a PDF in Firefox, which is extremely upsetting.
  I just found out a few days ago that Firefox no longer uses the adobe reader plugin, but uses rather its own PDF Viewer built-in. When I changed the setting to use the external adobe reader software to open / download the pdf files, it seems that my computer no longer crashes.
  So my questions are: why the bult - in the PDF Viewer gives windows crash 10? Will be corrected this problem and when? and finally, why Firefox forces to use its own built-in PDF Viewer when it cannot work properly with windows 10?
  This was the most overwhelming problem that I had with my computer for a long time!

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

• Why you put "Open a new tab" on the right side of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

  I changed my computer from XP to Windows 7 and migrated my FF browsers. But... now the tabs at the top of the page are all right (they were upper-front left - where I loved her)

  The most important is the "open a new tab" + - is on the right. But that is not sensible. Why you put "Open a new tab" on the extreme right of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

  How can I put my "open a new tab" immediately to the right of 'Close tab' - as if it was before?

  Please advise?

• Why Firefox change of a search engine by default when I got small previews before where I just click on, now I have a here serach engine I want

  When I click on a new tab, I had small screenshots of my last visits. now, I have a power of search engine Bing, which I don't want. Why FIREFOX change that and force the shit out of me that I don't like or want.

  Here is the link that is display:

  Now I would like to be the one to choice what I want and how to configure it, I don't need a browser to make that choice for me, if it continues I'll go to safari or opera. Thank you

  Firefox didn't do. At some point, you may have added an add-on or installed
  a program and the installer has changed things on you. Mouse in the search window.
  On the left, click the icon. Look for and click on Manage search engines. Put everything
  upward as you wish.
  
  If something prevents you from working on it;
  Download the Mozilla search reset
  
  This module is very simple: installation, it backs up and then resets
  your search and homepage to their default values, preferences
  and then to uninstall. This affects the search bar, the URL bar
  research and the homepage.
  
  Look through your list of modules and make sure you know what each of them is
  and so. In addition,
  Windows > start > Control Panel > uninstall programs.
  Go through the list and a web search to check that you have not
  know what they are.

• Why FireFox 13 works differently on my desktop and laptops? On my desk, I have the old menu system that I prefer, but on my laptop, it's the new version.

  13 Firefox is the browser by default on my desktop and laptop, however, they have different menu systems. Why?

  On my desk, I have the old menu system that I prefer no doubt because everything is in English and easy to see and search. For example, on the menu desktop there a Tools option where I can quickly erase my history and cache.

  But on my laptop, it's the new paradigm where several menu commands are hidden and difficult to find, therefore, I do not like this new design. I don't understand why Firefox made this change, when the old system was much better and more effective.

  Is there a way I can get the old system menu back on my laptop?

  Thank you

  1. I'm not running XP, I use Win 7 on both systems.

  2. nothing happened when I pressed the ALT key, the menu bar does not show upward and I'm frustrated. However, I kept trying, hold the ALT key and finally he appeared. I then checked the menu bar, and it seems as if it worked.

  Thanks for your help.

• Why Firefox has disabled the only version of Flash (10.1.53.64) my computer can use? (Mac PowerPC G5) Help!

  Why Firefox has disabled the only version of Flash (10.1.53.64) my computer can use? (Mac PowerPC G5) Help!

  Your computer hardware has arrived at the stage where most of the software needs resources your machine cannot provide because it's too old. You have a few choices.

  1. Get new hardware that can handle the latest software
  2. Use a different operating system, like Linux (which is free)

  I rehabilitated an old G5 recently and it runs very well in the latest Firefox. I put Lubuntu on the machine instead the MacOS. Lubuntu (pronounced Loo-boon-two) is sort of a Ubuntu lite - a user-friendly version of Linux. There are many applications of your choice, and everything is free.

  You can also use the Ubuntu greediest in resources and a little more user-friendly, also free, but you can be more pleased with the performance of Lubuntu instead.

  The PowerPC, I did this on was one of the old blue Bondi ones. Firefox 8 had no problem to start on it at all and has all necessary plug-ins for video, audio, etc... I gave him a church and it works well for them.

  You can download older versions of Firefox, but you'll just open to security problems if you do.

  FYI: The Mac operating system is based on Linux.

• Why firefox allows me to open and access my comcast emal?

  I use firefox and have had no problems with it until about a week ago. Suddenly and without reason, it will allow me to go on my comcast.net email page, but when I try to access and load my mails, it won't. But I can do it on IE. I contacted comcast help and they said that it is a problem with firefox. Help please.

  I don't honestly understand why Comcast puts their clients through it each time that they update or change their interface of web portal mail; why they can't test in Firefox and see if it works, before releasing the changes and taking a couple of months to fix everything that is bad.

  When you are connected to Xfinity Connect Open Preferences > General and change it to Xfinity Connect Lite. The interface 'Lite' works fine in Firefox for me.

• Why Firefox tries to open the PDF with Acrobat 8 when I set properties using Reader 9.1?

  If I click on a link in a PDF file from Firefox 3.6.10 he's trying to open it with Acrobat 8 and breaks down, while if I double-click on a folder it opens properly with Reader 9.1

  If I try to open with Acrobat 8 for the record, he does not either, but why Firefox does not use the default program?

  Go to tools | Options | Applications. The first 4 entries focus on Adobe. Make sure that the association is your version 9.1. If this is not the case, click on the association that shows. You will get a triangle pointing downwards to the right. Click it, and then check if 9.1 is displayed. If so, select it. Do the same for the other elements of Adobe.

  You can also check the "Folder Options" in the control panel. In the tab "File Types", you will find all file extensions and the programs with which they are associated. Scroll to the PDF extension and make sure that it is associated with a "Document of Adobe Acrobat. If this is not the case, click the < button > and find adobe in the programs list.

  Just to let you know, Adobe Reader is now up to version 9.4. You can go to the Adobe website to download the latest version.

• Where on my computer is Firefox puts downloaded files?

  Where on my computer is Firefox puts downloaded files? I need to use them.

  Hello, Dan.

  This question could have many answers. If you have chosen, you have downloaded the file, a custom place to another download, the file it will have stored for Firefox (if the download has been completed successfully). If you forgot where he was, you can go to tools > downloads, right-click right the desired file, and select 'open containing folder '.

  If Firefox is not asked you where to save the file, you go to tools > Options > general and select the location where Firefox will store your downloads. Here, you can also configure it to ask you every time that you choose to save a download. As before, you can go to tools > downloads and ask for the container.

  If you simply opened the download without ask Firefox to save him, it is possible that you can always access your folder (if you didn't have in the closed interval of Firefox). Files are open and not stored, are temporarily placed in a cache folder, so you can use it during your time of session of Firefox. Just go to tools > downloads and, as before, ask the containing folder. From there, you can copy/cut file and paste it wherever you want.

• Why Firefox always tells me that Adobe plug-ins must be updated, when I've just updated beyond the versions them says Firefox update?

  On the status of the plug-in page, Firefox said I have potentially vulnerable Adobe Flash player c. 19.0.0.185 and should be updated. I have already taken this opinion but Adobe confirms that my version is 19.0.0.226. I ran the update at least twice (and of course I restarted Firefox several times and refreshed the page for good measure). Why Firefox think I always c. 19.0.0.185?

  Essentially the same story with Adobe Reader plug-in 15.9.20069.28170. Firefox said I have this outdated version and should be updated. I ran the update at least twice (but unlike with Flash Player I don't know how to confirm that the update is installed). The version that Firefox says I have and advice to update, has not changed.

  I've updated two plug-ins yesterday. Immediately after the update, when I refreshed the page status of the plugin, these plug-ins have disappeared from lists "vulnerable" or "outdated". It's only the Adobe Flash Player and Reader plug-in updates (which I did yesterday) that Firefox seems to blind. I waited a day to see if Firefox would recognize the edits today, but it still does not work. On this page of presentation of the question, "Assumptions" of Firefox on my current browser list older versions of Adobe Flash Player and Reader that I've already updated since.

  Plugins are installed on the system and not in Firefox. So he can tell you were the same when you installed know that it is usually because you have two system installed an older version of Flash Player.

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/Flash-Player/KB/uninstall-Flash-Player-Windows.html

  Maybe try to uninstall all versions of Flash Player (basic plugin) and install the current https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (basic plugin), while Firefox is closed.

• Why Firefox brings up to Settings page in windows 10 at startup?

  Use Firefox with Windows 10, why Firefox brings to the top of the settings page in Windows 10. She does whenever I start Firefox.

  I solved the problem. On the settings page, I went to Default Apps, selected and then select Firefox Web browser.
