Article Firefox won't open PHP pages suddenlyHits 13002 | Created 2008-02-06 | Modified 2008-06-05Trying to access facebook I was suddenly told I was trying to download a PHP file, and what should I do with it. I said, open it with Firefox and then a hundred new, blank tabs opened... Solution follows.  There's quite a lot of stuff on the web about this issue, there seems to be some complaint about firefox's mime-type handling, corrupt mimeTypes.rdf files, etc. Whatever the cause, here's what fixed it for me. Follow the steps on this page: http://kb.mozillazine.org Namely: 1. Type about:config into the address bar. 2. Find the preference browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes and, if it is present, right-click on it and select reset. 3. Find the preference plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types and, if it is present, right-click on it and select reset. 4. Exit the browser, then open the profile folder (Windows 2000/XP/Vista users, read this for help finding it). 5. Delete (or rename) the file mimeTypes.rdf. Caution: There is also a mimeTypes.rdf file in the program folder. Do not delete it by mistake. There are links on the page itself to help you do this, find the correct folders etc. Note that on the about:config page, search doesn't work, so you should scroll to find the entries. Re-start firefox. Now go into Tools -> Options -> File Types -> Manage You should have a list of file types and how firefox will deal with them. Scroll through and find PHP. If there is an entry, delete it. Re-start firefox and try the web page again. Good luck!

Hits | Last Modified 2009-07-27 Ralph, I get this error all the time but I do not have the two fields you mention in my about:config. The weird thing is if I wait a few hours, I can access the page, and I know the page itself has not been changed. Thanks for posting this, though, as it’s way more helpful than the pages I have so far seen on the ’net about this very common issue. Comment Firefox won't open PHP pages suddenly comment by Jack Yan
Hits | Last Modified 2009-12-20 Hi there: your clues really helped. As Firefox has removed those fields in about:config and no longer allows file type deletions, it might seem that the above advice doesn’t apply. Not so: the mimeTypes.rdf advice still does. Here’s what I did, taking your lead, and using Firefox 3.0.16: http://jackyan.com/blog/2009/12/when-firefox-cannot-open-php-pages.html Make a Comment |
