Windows is looking for a solution This just started the other day and I haven't made any changes to my computer. I don't know if this an Office or Firefox issue. I figured out what happened with not being able to open Word or Excel inside Firefox. We run Firefox from inside Sandboxie virtual browser and once I cleaned it out from all the crap people try to install on my computer I no longer have the problem.
Firefox 30 switched many plugins from running on any site automatically to requiring your permission to run. In case the Office plugin is not compatible with this setting, you could try switching it back to see whether that helps. In the left column, click Plugins. You might need to create a new window or exit and start Firefox up again before this takes effect. This varies between plugins. No, unfortunately it did not. Something changed in the last few days without my doing yet I've done no updates.
I can download the files and then open them outside of Firefox but launching Word or Excel from within Firefox isn't working. The "Open" option uses the Windows temp folder. That folder can become congested; you may want to clear it at some point if you haven't already tried that. Yes, both. I can save without any problem but if I choose to open it goes right into that useless window popup that says "Microsoft [X] stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution" and then after 5 seconds of "trying" it just closes and I'm left empty handed-no solution and the file doesn't open.
Again it only happens with word and Excel, not PP or pdf which is very odd to me. Would love to get some more ideas. I also think I have profile issues because occasionally when I try to upload a file through various ways , the browser crashes. Note that you usually open files in read-only mode that way and you should never modify such a file and save it under the same name to avoid dataloss.
It is possible that security anti-virus software is blocking the file, so you may have to check that. My issue has nothing to do with read only. Firefox can no longer open Word or Excel files so I can't get these files from websites unless I save it locally and open it outside Firefox.
Until last week I could choose to open it from the popup box inside Firefox. There have been no system changes so firewall, anti-virus, etc is not the issue. Firefox can open Powerpoint and pdf files just fine.
It's puzzling, because it's hard to think of a reason for two particular files types not to load in their corresponding external application when others do. As far as I know, the "hand-off" is the same. Firefox learns the hand-off from the Windows registry.
