Your Questions About Firefox

Charles asks…

Can I get Firefox to always open media files in an external player?

It is very annoying to me that Firefox always opens mp3, wmv, mpg and opther file types in the browser window. Is there a way to set it to always open these files in winamp, VLC player, or anything else?

Michelle answers:

Firefox has an option under “Tools” called “Downloadhelper”
If you’re on a page that has a video running like Youtube or whatever it will allow you to save that file into a directory in your computer. If you don’t see DLH under Tools you may need to go into Tools then Options and add that handy item to your browser.

How to close firefox without deleting all the pages and tabs?

I need to close out firefox so that i can install a program. I have 6 firefox pages open with about 15-25 tabs each. I do NOT want to lose any of that stuff. What’s the known way of closing firefox without causing it to delete everything?
@Jack I have no idea… .__.

Michelle answers:

In Firefox window, press “Alt” keys to show File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help, select Help then select ‘Restart with Add-ons Disabled….”

“Restart with Add-ons Disabled” mini-window will appear, select “Restart”

then “Firefox Safe Mode” mini-window will appear, do not make any mark, just choose “Exit”

then install the program you want, after finished, just open your Mozilla Firefox. Also you can Shutdown or Restart your computer. I always use it. It worked for me…

~hope it helps~
