If you are in “full screen” mode and for any reason you are not able to change this mode, try to press the “ F11 ” key of your keyboard.
Applications
Have you any trouble to open a file using Firefox?
Editing your Preferences –> Applications:
- have you noticed something strange in the “ Content type ” column (for example: the type you need, it is not present and you are sure that it is present in a standard configuration)?
or
- or have you chosen/changed wrongly one or more wrong applications?
To reset all Applications values to DEFAULT VALUES, use the following commands:
- Close the application Mozilla Firefox;
- look for the file mimeTypes.rdf in the subdirectory where firefox keep your configuration files (generally it is : ~/.mozilla/firefox/somelettersandnumers.default ;
- remove the file mimeTypes.rdf ;
- re-open the application Mozilla Firefox, and check your Preferences –> Applications content.
