Win 8 again to choose a browser, even after I put the default value, I have a screenshot

On opening of browser, I wonder to set the default browser. After I do I get the message send me options I guess come from Msoft: continue using FFox, choose IExp, choose the program from the store.
I have a page, if you need it.

Keep up the good work, guys.

Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

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) If you do not create this file yourself.

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.

Delete possible user.js and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

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

  • Finder keep it open the file even after I change the default folder

    I have the problem with the default folder in the finder.

    A few months ago, I changed the default folder from the finder to a specific folder. Now, I want to change to the new folder. I already go to finder > Preferences > General > new poster finder window and change the folder, but whenever I click on the finder on the dock for the first time, keep the change back to the old folder. What should I do with this?

    Thank you for the help

    HI there Alia80,

    Looks like you set your Finder preferences to open a specific folder when you open a new window, but it seems to keep coming back to what it was previously set to. I would first start safe mode and if some system-level caches can be erased, and a check disk and repair is done automatically:

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Once you log in safe mode, let him by making a normal restart and test the issue again.

    If it persists after this test this point in a new admin on your computerand user let me know what is happening there:

    OS X El Capitan: set up users on your Mac.

  • Save and exit feature available in FF6, even after I adjusted the browser.showquitwarning

    Save and exit feature available in FF6, even after I adjusted the browser.showquitwarning

    Firefox 4 and later versions Save the previous session automatically, so it is no longer need for the dialog box asking if you want to save the current session.

    Use ' file > leave "or" Firefox > Exit "(Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox") If you want to restore multiple windows.

    You can use ' history > restore previous Session ' to get the previous session at any time.

    You may need to click the Firefox orange/gray button to see history.

    There is also a button 'Restore previous Session' on the default on: Home home page.

    Another possibility is to use:

  • Firefox is the default value. Whenever I click on a selection of browser to URL is displayed.

    I've defined and confirmed that Firefox is my default browser. I uninstalled Firefox, restarted, set Edge as default, rebooted, reinstalled Firefox using the option 'Make Firefox the default browser' and rebooted. No matter what the settings are made and Firefox is default, when I click on a URL link, I get a dialog box "How do you want to open this file", Firefox is highlighted, I click on the check box always 'use this app' and click OK. Firefox opens and displays the page. Thereafter, whenever I click on a URL link I get the pop up and choose Firefox. It doesn't matter if a Firefox session is active or Firefox is closed. What I am doing wrong?

    This was a problem when you try to set one browser by default other than IE (now Edge) on Windows. Firefox has had the most problems over the years, trying to get himself defined as default browser. I can't tell if Chrome has had the same problem either. But I feel that they have had a hard time with her also.

    In the interest to see what works and what does not work, could you not install the Chrome browser and by setting the default value to see if it does indeed remain the browser by default when you click on any url? Please test the links of the opening a few times before you say that it works without problem.

    I'll be tracking of any workaround to set Firefox as the default browser in the meantime. But, be aware that Microsoft is the enemy here. As they do on board the default browser at any price.

  • Firefox will not load Java on Linux - even after following all the instructions on the net I can find - what am I doing wrong?

    The problem I have is that I am running Puppy Linux on my laptop.

    Now, I have tried everything I can to get Java works under Firefox, chrome, or Seamonkey (I have all three browsers on my computer).

    For firefox and seamonkey, I tried the following-

    Downloaded the tar.gz for java file
    he unzipped in/opt/java
    went to/user/lib/mozilla/plugins and run the command
    ln-s/opt/java/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
    to create the symbolic link to the plugin
    check that the plugin is executable (in fact even tried to give all full read/write permission and run it)

    For chrome does the same thing but put the symbolic link in the/usr/lib/chromium-linux/plugins folder instead.

    Restart the web browser, even tried to restart the X server where the browser runs somewhere in the background.

    All three browsers can pick up all other .so plugins in this folder except Java.

    When I click on check plugins on firefox I access the page on 'Missing Java? -For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Java. Please install the latest version.

    However, the version I downloaded is Version 7 9 update that is exactly the same as that which is available under the latest version of Java is (it was only downloaded from this link a few minutes before, I even tried to re - download just in case there was an update in 5 minutes).

    If I go to the Java folder and run the control panel of the Java Control Panel appears, and he knows where Java is installed and everything.

    So what's happening? I have installed the plugin in the right directory? I guess then that is where all the other plugins are stored and Firefox, Chrome and Seamonkey are picking all others upward fine, or would there be an old version of Java lurking around somewhere on my system, Firefox, Seamonkey, and Chrome are trying all to use it?

    I also tried to download the RPM and posing in the folder/usr/java and replacing the symlink/opt/java than in the folder/usr/java and still nothing.

    I don't really understand it ' cos it's picking up all the other plugins like Gecko and even installed Flash in the same way and that works very well.

    libjavaplugin_oji.so is the classic Java plugin.

    You need the libnpjp2.so of next generation plugin (for examplejava/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so) for current browsers.

    Internet Explorer settings can be defined by default very easily.
    Go to tools-> Internet Options
    You will find different tabs as general, security, confidentiality, etc.
    Visit the unique tabs and you will find Reset buttons or omissions.

    In addition, you can change the display

    How can I fix it? Nothing in help or on the Site.

    Could you try to disable graphics hardware acceleration? As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems with some drivers/graphics cards.

    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.).

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    Does make a difference?

  • HP OJPro Premium 8600 prints faxes with paper in tray 2 even if Tray 1 is the default value. Win 7 x 64

    HP Office Jet Pro 8600 Premium prints faxes with tray 2 paper even if Tray 1 is set as default in the Preferences menu.

    Win 7 x 64, network and USB connection for printer/fax, using the network for any connection.

    On the 8600, the white paper goes into TRAY 2. Any type of paper or special paper should be in TRAY 1. Tray 2 is not part of the drivers for printer, so you will have to run some documents to the special trays.

    So just pass the papers and everything should be printed in the correct places. You can also change the DEFAULT TRAY on the printer itself to TRAY 2. Keep it in automatic mode in preferences on the computer.
