Don't devolve to being an asshole Steve. You link doesn't open on a
standard WIN10 machine.

Either way, here from the web: When it comes to USB ports, what
defines the features are called specifications (1.1, 2.0, etc.). USB
connectors, whether it is the receptacle on your computer or the plug
on the end of a cable, are often colored coded so you can tell what
specification it is. But the color of the receptacle is not part of the
actual USB specifications and may vary from vendor to vendor. The
following is list of USB specifications and the color usually
associated with it.

My windows7 laptop didn't recognize so asked questions so I also
cancelled that. I'm guess it might just be a matter of upgrading
Firefox version. Mine is a few years old.

Firefox on Linux was very confused. What it suggested couldn't open the
file, but it did offer to let me browse for an application.

TOO MUCH CRAP to try and program for!!

Computer software/applications went "everything included the kitchen sink" and became UNUSABLE because each program/application wanted to be the ONLY one for ease/convenience/Profits for the programmers of it!! Bill Gates/MicroSUCKS especially!

And NO ONE wanted to COOPERATE! They would NOT all work and play well together! Just like the idiot HUMANS who conceived and wrote them!

John Kuthe...

You seem very confused for a computer expert. You may have memorized
some terms but it is obvious that you have zero real knowledge or
understanding of hardware or software. Developers may be a lot of things
but they are not idiots.

For the most part this stuff works. Just relax and try not to lash out
at it all.

.. Whats with all the CAPS?

It opens fine on my Windows 10 laptop, also my Windows 7 desktop
with Chrome and Thunderbird. Are you pressing the right button?
Err... I mean .. the physically left button?

I have seen thousands of USB ports and they are all the same color
standards. Do you have an example of one that doesn't follow the
standard, or are you just trying to be argumentative in this
previously non-argumentative argument?
