Currently when I click a link such as a Youtube Video or an Play Store Application, Firefox does not open the link inside of the external application but rather opens the link inside of Firefox. I have tried clearing the defaults in the external apps, such as Youtube and Play Store, and Firefox but the result is the same. This happens on my phone was well as my tablet, I'm running Android 4.2.2 on both devices. I have tried other browsers and they all open the link in the external application or at least ask me what I would like to open the link with.

Only Load Tab Once Clicked When Opening Large Groups of Bookmarks

I have a bookmarks folder containing a few websites I like to visit regularly. When I want to open all of these websites at once I open the bookmark folder, scroll to the bottom of the folder and click "Open All in Tabs". This opens *and* loads all of the bookmarks contained in that folder simultaneously.
I'd like to change it so instead of the tabs opening *and* loading simultaneously, they open simultaneously but *wait* to be clicked before loading.
The desired behaviour can be demonstrated when you restart Firefox with a few tabs open, but only the current tab loads after restart, with the others waiting in the tab bar to be clicked before loading.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

How can I get firefox to highlight downloaded file when opening containing folder in linux mint 13

When I use open containing folder to locate the download, the file is not highlighted which, given the size of my downloads folder, makes it a chore to locate the file (especially when you've forgotten what it's named).
The file manager I'm using is nemo.
I can manually run nemo with the full path to the file as the second parameter via the command line and it will highlight the file.
Is there a config option somewhere that I can change to pass in the full file path and not just the containing folder path?

How to override text size settings on mobile websites

Apologies if this is a stupid question. It seems to be the case that websites designed for mobiles (e.g. http://m.guardian.co.uk/), have a default text size setting which ignores the equivalent setting in Firefox Android. Consequently, in some websites like the one mentioned above, the text is unnecessarily large, making the reading process rather labour intensive. I know I could revert to the desktop site, but I'm more likely to revert back to the default android browser (which has no problem adjusting the text on these sites), which would be shame, as apart from this problem, I am loving the Firefox experience.
I am on Samsung Galaxy S2, Android 4.0.4.
Cheers

On Firefox 19 or 20beta when using firefox with multiple monitors in OSX 10.8.3 upon closing Firefox opens in the main monitor regardless of the previous monitor selected.
I've tried switching from 19 to 20beta and back, clearing the .rdf file referenced in other threads, turning off hardware acceleration, completely uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, and anything else I could think of to no avail.
How to enable dragging of playhead in QuickTime plugin for Firefox?

I have a problem with QuickTime plug-in 7.7.1 for Firefox on Mac OS 10.7.5. I am unable to drag the playhead to some arbitrary point in the middle of a quicktime video. The plugin prevents the playhead from moving to any point beyond the prefix of the video that has been downloaded until then.
I have no problem dragging the playhead to any point on Safari or on an iphone.
If I disable the plug-in opting instead to start QuickTime in a separate window, Firefox either (1) downloads the entire video before invoking QuickTime, or (2) starts the QuickTime video playback right away but, if the playhead is dragged to the middle of the video, the video/audio freezes but the timer continues to tick away. Whether 1 or 2 happens seems to be somewhat non-deterministic.

We are using a software application that has Firefox as the default browser. We are using scanners and the Firefox settings have to be changed every time we scan a document. How do you manage the settings or change the default settings in Firefox, they are taking precedent over the scanner default settings.
