I am fairly new to the OS, just switched from a PC. I would like to know if I can set up a workflow so that with a speech command to my Macbook I can open a specific URL in firefox. How would I set that up?

Here's what I want it to do:
1 Open Safari
2 Click in the address bar
3 Type an address
4 Enter/return
Safari opens, but Automator doesn't want to left click in the address bar.
For left click/type I am using Automator Virtual Input
I was wondering if I could use automator to open and maximize iCal at 5AM every morning.
I don't always remember to open the calendar and place it on top before I go to bed.
If I lose perspective and get off track first thing in the morning, the rest of the day I'm playing catch-up to make up for that lost time.
I bought an ibook G4 and I have safari for it because when I downloaded firefox it wouldn't open? And also I cant open or delete my emails on msn or click in to certain things.

Is there any add-on you all use that may help? I know some things are going to get through no matter what. So I just thought I'd see what others experiences' were.

I am at present studying Dreamweaver at home on my Mac Pro OS10.6.8.Â
Part of the process of making a webpage, one has to open it through the internet. Firefox is my choice but unfortunately when pressing F12, Firefox opens but does not open my Dreamweaver based work.Â
I have searched online and it appears quite a few years back alot of people were experiencing the same with their (now older) versions of Firefox.Â

On every restart, Firefox opens by itself and installs itself in the dock no matter what I do. I've made sure the settings in Lion are correct for re-opening apps. Also, I tried to delete a line from a Stickie and it reappears on startup. It's just in my user profile. I created another test user and it didn't happen.

About a week ago, my macbook quit opening internet pdf files. I checked for new software updates but it hasen't worked. No error message shows up, just a blank screen.Â
Info:
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
When I click on my Firefox icon now, it brings up the window to choose safe mode or reset. It won't do anything in either. Â
I have re-started many times. I have shut down and restarted. Nothing is working!Â
I have no menu bar, no availability to pull down from anything. Just the spinning wheel.Â
Firefox is my default browser and I have many tabs and open windows I would love to access.Â

So I would like to have my files open automatically once there downloaded, be it .pdf, .ppt or .doc.
Is there some setting that i need to change of Firefox (though I have looked) to make this happen
I heard about a software a few weeks ago where you could set it up so that a certain link always opens in a certain browser. I didn't need it at the time, but now I could really use it, and I can't remember what it was called!

Also, I receive a "Server cannot be found message" when attempting to access Facebook and Youtube. Almost all other pages seem fine but I just receive error messages when attempting to view these few. I am using a new wireless network and wondered whether this could be the problem.

Can't open Pdfs in firefox, works fine in Safari.
Info:MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I have a website that I need to open with Safari as it won't display properly in Firefox 3.6.3. From the Address Bar in Safari, I dragged a link to my desktop, right-clicked and checked it to always open with Safari. The name of the link is something like "PITA.webloc"
When it opens that first time, it dose open in Safari, but subsequently, always opens in FF. I also right-clicked to "Get Info" and indicated it to always open with Safari. While "Get Info" shows that correctly, it still always opens in FF.
Firefox is just chewing up memory on my new i7...only with 4 tabs open (forums and gmail). Then there is the launchd tearing up about 375 constantly. Window server is hovering around 175-200 as well.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI prefer Firefox. But when I click on a link in an email, it opens in Safari. I searched for 'browser' and 'default' in my computer's help (no hits), and I searched the forum for 'apple mail' and 'firefox' with no good hits. Maybe related, but I see no way to make Firefox my default browser. I do have it set to open on startup, and safari does not open. But if I click on a link in an email, it will still open safari instead of using Firefox.

I began to have this same problem on my old MacBook within the last year...but I now have a brand spanking new MacBook Air (as in 1 week old) and it's worse than ever. Â
Extremely often - sometimes 2 out of 3 webpages, it seems - the browzer says it can't find the server or otherwise won't open a page (takes veeeery long to do so. Then eventually gives me a "can't find" screen when I try to click around.). There's nothing wrong w the internet - it works just fine on my husband's computer. Sometimes it helps to switch browzers but mostly not.

This is my biggest software design pet peeves. I hate when applications make too many choices for the user. Don't get me wrong, I don't like when a program asks the same question over and over again either. So I'm using firefox and I had about four or five windows open. And it froze up for over five minutes so I force killed it. When I opened it again it automatically tried to open all those websites I had open before - all at the same time. This isn't even a bug, it's the designers bad choice. I don't even need them open. I was only still using one. And I don't know which one caused the freeze (probably a flash heavy website like abercrombie) but I certainly don't want to open that one again. I'm trying to get Firefox to not do this anymore.
