[SOLVED] Firefox issue - zygmunto - 02-04-2015
Hello!
As in subject something is not right with ff.
First thing is that browser starts opens itself when system starts and it's not set up by me to do so.
Second thing is that somehow Gimp,intead of Transmission,has become default program to open torrent files,but only when I want to open them directly after downloading.If I open torrent files in thunar everything is ok and Transmission opens it.Any help,please?

Look in Menu>Settings>Session and Startup>Application AutoStart and see if Firefox is set to autostart from there.
If so. Untick the check box next to it.

Hello rokytnji
In AutoStart Firefox doesn't appear for me.It is strange because everything was ok and then it started to happend...Thanks for reply
Re: Firefox issue - rokytnji - 02-04-2015
Hmmmm. I am wondering if you shut down with Firefox left open and now Firefox auto starts because of that?
I have seen this happen when I shut down with a application open. But. It does not persist.
I have no idea why Firefox auto starts on Every startup now.
For gimp.

Just right click on image and pick default program which will be gimp for you.
Edit: sorry. I meant right click on torrent and select torrent app you use.

In Firefox. Default application opener is in firefox toolbar>edit>preferences>applications and is a browser issue.
Not really a LL issue. But you can modify default program opener there.

Lastly. I would make a new user in LL and login as that user and see if Firefox auto launch goes away.
It almost sounds like your /home/username has been compromised somehow.

If left open when shutting down and session got saved, that might be the cause.
Go to Menu -> Settings -> Session and Startup -> Session (tab), and along bottom of window click "Clear saved sessions". Reboot computer and see if that fixed it.
Re: Firefox issue - zygmunto - 02-05-2015
It's good now.I did "Clear saved session" like gold_finger said and it helps.And for the second issue I found the answer,thanks to rokytnji,at mozilla support.The reason was:
"This can happen if the website's server incorrectly specifies the Internet Media type of the file. It also can happen if the server assigns "Content-Disposition: attachment" to the file".
Thanks!
