OKAY! wow! i installed FireFox Stable, and the problem seem to be gone...

Thank you guys :D

but the problem i am facing with Nightly is not a Nightly problem...it still some kind of messed up registry entry or something else came from that exe file which i downloaded.

Wonder if Sysinternal Process Monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645) would help with what registry keys are being accessed when launching Firefox Nightly from a local HTML file.

So try going back to nightly - does the problem come back? If so I would check what registry changes happen when you install the nightly.

You could use something like http://sourceforge.net/projects/regshot/files/

Or can be done with just fc - just export your reg, then install nightly. Then export reg again and then compare with fc.exe /u one.reg two.reg >diff.txt

well that not the right syntax

its fc.exe /u 1.reg 2.reg >diff.txt

not /1.reg

I believe you need the /u because reg files are unicode are they not? Let me do a simple test here on my xp box.

well you got some sort of error there - saying too different?

Might be better off using the regshot software I linked too

I did a simple test changing that key we have been looking at changing it to %2 vs %1 and could see the change in the text file

***** one.reg

It seems after all of these posts trying to help you that this problem is not resolved. You have been given just about every possible fix. You can try to format and re install. If you remove all traces of Firefox and then reinstall it, it should work. Anuy problems I have ever had were fixed ny just creating a new profile. I have been using it since it was called Phoenix.

Not true it was resolved when he went to stable

"OKAY! wow! i installed FireFox Stable, and the problem seem to be gone..."

Then he went back to nightly and problem came back - trying to figure out what is causing it now. He has not stated what specific nightly he is using, nor do we know if the other users using the nightly that say they are not having the issue are using windows 8 like the OP?

A. Are you sure this is a Firefox issue? It could just be opening your default browser which is set to Firefox. You could try changing your default browser and see what happens.

B. What plugins (and/or extensions) do you have installed?

Edit: I did not see that install Firefox stable fixed the issue. Ignore me!

More info: I'm running latest nightly and Windows 8. Opening a file named "Removed Apps.html" (on my dekstop) opens "file:///C:/Users/Me/Desktop/Removed" and "http://www.apps.html/". It seems to be an issue with spaces in file names.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
