Visual Studio 2010 For Windows 7 Filehippo Firefox

Active5 months ago

Devart T4 Editor for Visual Studio 2010 is a powerful Visual Studio add-in for editing T4 templates with syntax highlighting, intellisense, code outlining, and all the features of a quality text editor add-in. Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and.NET Framework 4 7.1. Processing 3.4. DNN CMS Platform 8.0.1. There are no events in the event log, the laptop has no AV installed other than Security Essentials and the only applications installed (aside from drivers) are Office 2013, Visual Studio 2010 and firefox. Keep your photos safe in the cloud with the best online photo storage for 2019 Stay private and protected with the best Firefox security extensions Clean out junk files in Windows 7, 8.1, and 10.

I have Visual Studio 2013 (tested with Update 1, 2 and 3) installed on two completely seperate machines, one is Windows 7 SP1 and one is Windows 8.1. Both are running the latest version of Firefox and Firefox is set to be the default browser. The Firefox setting 'Open tab instead of new window' is checked.

Almost every time I want to open the API help pages on MSDN by pressing F1 in the code, a new Firefox window is opened. This happens on both machines. But it only happens with Firefox, when IE is the default browser it correctly opens a new tab. And this is a new problem in Visual Studio 2013, I didn't have this problem with Visual Studio 2010.

Interestingly, this is not 100% consistent. Rarely, I'd say about 5% of the time, it correctly opens a new tab instead of a new window. And I have found one command that always correctly opens a tab, that is the Help - View Help command in the main menu bar (not very helpful).

Searching the internet revealed this Microsoft Connect issue entry which says that it was also a problem in Visual Studio 2012, but was apparently fixed in the latest build in May 2013. While I've never used Visual Studio 2012 myself, this date was before Visual Studio 2013 was released, and was far before Update 1 for it was released. Did they really forget to merge the fix to Visual Studio 2013?

Anyway, my question is if everyone experiences this problem and if not, if anyone knows a way to fix it.

Update with workaround

I've no idea how or why this works, but I've found a workaround. As long as the .NET Reflector (I'm using version 8.3.3.115) is running, the F1 key works correctly. This is 100% reproduceable and works on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.

Can someone please explain that to me?

I'll leave this question open until a real answer is found.

Update 2

Visual Studio 2015 shows the same problem.

The problem is that Visual Studio launches Firefox with incorrect parameters. The correct settings can be found in the registry (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFirefoxURLshellopencommand). Now, to fix this, simply add Firefox as a web browser (with the correct startup parameters: -osint -url '%1') and assign it to the default.

I don't know when this was fixed, but it doesn't happen with Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10.

For the last couple of days, this is what my menus have looked like in Visual Studio 2010:

How do I restore right-aligned menu items without losing any of my settings?

It does so for me not only in Visual Studio but also in Notepad and other applications (well, not the ones the reinvented menus poorly).

There is a setting in the Tablet PC Settings to tell Windows which is your writing hand (so that menus won't appear underneath your hand). You can find it by searching for 'hand write' in the start menu or go directly to the Tablet PC Settings:
