.PNG's insist on downloading in Firefox

Recommended Posts

Hi I am tearing my hair out as some images like the one attached to this thread

 

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/34/vsa-volume-spread-analysis-1369-30.html#post15283

 

just refuse to 'open' for me...a dialogue box always pops up asking where I wanna save the image. Other sites (and sometimes .PNG images here) offer the choice of what I want to do.

 

I do not have an entry for .PNG in tools>options>content>manage file types in Firefox so should be prompted each time.

 

Cheers.

 

I wonder if it might be something to do with the board incorrectly tagging the Mime type but am no expert in that area.

Thing is its not all .PNG's which is why I wondered if its an incorrectly set MIME type or something? Drives me potty :mad: or I wouldn't bother mentioning it.

OK kinda fixed it. Suspecting it was to do with mime types I downloaded a FF plugin called Mime edit.

 

I set unknown/unknown to always ask and its fine! I suspect you can do it with FF's hidden config stuff but as I cant even remember to get in there I didn't explore that.

 

I wonder if it was another plugin that messed things up. My hunch is 'flash got'.

Its most likely a FireFox issue. I cant see how our system would affect that. Its working fine for me in Opera and IE.

 

Certainly didn't mean to suggest it was though there is a subtlety there. :) It is definately to do with mime types though I am not exactlys sure what why or how. It seems as some images are being stored as mime type unknown/unknown those where the ones giving me issues.

 

Getting rid of the file described here fixes it

 

http://kb.mozillazine.org/MimeTypes.rdf this re-set that particular mime type to 'prompt' fro action.

 

I actually used a more complete document that described re-setting a couple of internal paramaters but I cant find it just now.

 

I also installed a Firefox add on called mime edit though I dont think this is strictly neccassary. You can however achieve the same effect with this without deleting the associates file.

 

Cheers.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
