Command + R (Refresh) not working in Safari and Firefox need Help!

I been having trouble with Command + R (Refresh) in Safari and Firefox for a while, I used to have a MBP 2006 intel 2.4 running Leopard when the problem started,but since I was planning to change to a new computer I didn't pay much attention.
Recently I got a MBP w/ Retina and migrated the info from my old Mac to the new one, and it seem like the Command + R problem to refresh in Safari and Firefox has been brought with the migration.
Another pointer is that I have my mac setup in Spanish although it was setup in English before. This does not seem to be the problem.
Any Ideas on how can I solve this?
Than in advance.

Recently Safari started slowing and presenting the infamous spinning wheel of death whenever page has anything flash in it. Since many pages have ads coming in on flash many pages are effected. I almost thought that I had a virus on machine, being a PC guy for 20 plus year prior you can get, pun intended, flashbacks of deadly blue screen etc. Was happening on both my machines readily apparent on homepage msnbc and the like. I cleared caches etc etc infinitum thought I was back on Windows for a minute. I know from listening to various Mac tech shows on twit.tv that Apple apparently is not fond of flash programming as evidenced that flash not on Itouch or Ipad. But what, trying to kil it on regular machines?
When I first came to apple a couple years ago I was using Google Chrome browser on MSFT macines and loved it but atthe time Chrom did not make Mac version. I used Safari and was happy enough UNTIL LATELY with it not to bother with other browsers. NO MORE, so went hunting and happily found that Chrome for Mac available. AMAZINGLY no problems so far msnbc loads, without exaggeration, TEN times faster than on safari, no spiining wheels of death EVERYTHING faster like someone gave my Mac's a B12 shot and restored them to how they used to be. Easily transferred all favorites over simple import.
So far only down side I have found was that bank statement pdf downloads and the like that Safari had bottom screen popup to one click download not on Chrome and print to pdf doesn't seem to do it right so far but I amstill playing. So when I do bank statements I fire up Sarari and suffer the speed.
There is no reason for this APPLE!!! If you are not going to have Safari be the best browser out there for a mac then you should dump it and recommend sometghign else. Please don;t be like MSFT and Internet Explorer junk!

Shortcuts not working on Safari and Firefox

I just upgraded to Yosemite and have the following problem: no shortcuts for menu commands work anymore on Safari or Firefox. Simple test: start Safari and click cmd-Q to quit. Normally it should just quit. on my Macbook it doesn't. On Firefox, the menu bar flashes once, but that's about it.
A few facts:
Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
Mac OS 10.10 installed and running
Both, Safari and Firefox, are upgraded to the latest versions.
No keyboard additions installed
Swiss keyboard installed
Nothing changed regarding keyboard preferences
Anybody else experiencing the same or has any idea, how to fix it?
TIA

Problem solved. It all had to do with the primary language (NOT the keyboard) set to Swiss German, instead of just German. Seems a bug to me, but at least I have a workaround.

IWeb internal hyperlinks not working on Safari and Firefox

I've just finished creating my website using iweb and hosting it through an FTP server. However all but one of the hyperlinks to internal pages don't work when viewing it on Safari or Firefox on either a PC or a MAC. They just appear as text and you can't hover over them. External hyperlinks appear to work as normal.
In addition blog entries i've created aren't shown in their entirety on Internet Explorer. You can access the blog using the 'Archives' link on safari or firefox (the only internal link that does work) and i can see the complete entry but this is not the case of IE. It is just missing half of the text.
What am i doing wrong? I really want to get these bugs fixed asap.

Ah, good call. I will try that when I return home. Strange that safari and firefox would have an issue with this but not internet explorer. Seems so simple but still getting my head around working a website, thanks. Will comment if it doesn't work.
But can anyone explain to me why the only blog entry "shooting on an iphone" would not appear in it's entirety on iternet explorer 9, when it appears on fine on safari, firefox and iternet explorer 7 & 8. It just stops at the heading 'lessons learned'

Javascript not working in Safari and Firefox

in stead of rendering the html generated by javascript, the html code itself is displayed in both Safari and Firefox.
The strange thing is that this is only for one of my accounts. This account was transferred using the migration tool from my previous computer, where I also had this problem.
A brand new generated user account does not show this problem.

HI,
In the affected account...
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences then select the Security tab.
Make sure: Enable plug-ins and Enable Java and Enable JavaScript are selected.
Since you are running Snow Leopard, make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode, not 64. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
Relaunch Safari.

YouTube not working in Safari and Firefox (OSX 10.8)

Just bought a new 13" MacBook Pro (4 days old) that came with 10.8 installed. YouTube is not working and I keep getting this message in Firefox:
"The page isn't redirecting properly:
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."
Pretty much the same message in Safari. Made sure all setting are correct (cookies etc) cleared history and all that stuff. All other Flash based content plays without a problem, it's just YouTube.

Mountain Lion is kind of ******. At this moment all Flash content is not working in both Firefox and Safari. Reinstalled Flash Player and still nothing. It's playing no problem on my 5 year old MacBook with Snow Leopard.
Is anyone else having these problems?

Flash has suddenly stopped working with Safari and Firefox.

I have a Wordpress blog. Suddenly, Flash has stopped working on Safari and Firefox in relation to my Wordpress module. But everything works fine from my PC laptop and other MACs owned by friends, etc. It is only on my iMac that Flash has stopped working. Any ideas?

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Do you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version?

Cross browser testing : Modifier Keys playback actions not working in chrome and Firefox

Hi,
In my work flow I have to select multiple items in list.So I have recorded 'Ctrl+Click' action to select list items.In Chrome and Firefox it is not selecting multiple Items.
Even Ctrl+A,Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V also not working in chrome and Firefox.Complete modifier keys support is not observed in chrome and Firefox.Let me Know how to automate modifier keys actions in cross browser?
Regards,
Nagasree.

Hi Nagasree,
Welcome to MSDN forums.
First,please make sure the Chrome and Firefox is supported by cross browser testing.
Latest version of Chrome and Firefox supported by cross browser testing are Chrome version 38.0.2125.111 and
Firefox 33.
I doubt whether Chrome and Firefox in cross browser testing don’t support automating modifier keys or there is anything wrong on it if you are using supported browser. Since this issue is related to the Extensions tool
Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing, if possible, I suggest you post this
issue here, click “Q AND A”, and then you could post this issue there, you would get dedicated
support there.
Thanks for your understanding.

PDF documents are hosted in an ActiveX or netscape plugin control which have their own printing functions.
Start>Adobe Reader>Edit>Preferences - to adjust what functionality the PDF document viewer addon displays (menus etc).
Tools>Manage Addons>Show all addons
make sure you have both the x86 and x64 versions of your PDF reader Active X control installed and enabled. I would recommend also that you update to the latest version of the vendors' (Adobe?) plugin.
Possibly you have disabled scripting of ActiveX controls in the IE security zone that your parent page maps to. Also there is an IE security zone feature that prevents navigation to a domain in a zone of lower integrity.
Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".
when asking developer related questions it is helpful if you can include a link to your website.

Downloads do not finish in Safari and Firefox

Hey guys,
new to this forum, so be easy on me...
I just bought a Macboko Unibody a few weeks ago, and for some reason, when I try and download certain files, they don't completely download, however Safari and Firefox believe they're complete (i.e. an incomplete mp3 file will launch in itunes).
Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

with all due respect, I'm pretty sure I did answer your question.
No, you didn't. To answer my question you'd have to explain how you determined that a downloaded file in fact stopped downloading early as opposed to downloading to completion but becoming corrupted during the download process. I didn't see such an explanation in your posts. I'd argue that if the size of a downloaded file is near the expected value, it's impossible to tell the difference between a corrupt download and an incomplete download. Actually, which of the two cases is true is much less interesting than the fact that the downloaded file isn't usable. But by claiming that "downloads do not finish" you're assuming a cause that may not be true.
Here's an example of the type of thing you may be facing: I've seen a post on this message board by someone who kept trying to download a large Apple software update but the resulting file was unusable due to a checksum error. He was finally able to download the file successfully by removing his router and connecting his computer directly to his broadband modem. Evidently his router introduced enough instability into his download process to cause corruption.
I've downloaded the exact same files (from the same link) from another computer, with complete success.
That only proves that those files can be downloaded given a correctly-functioning data connection.
I've also attempted (as described above) to download some of the files one at a time, and that seems to work properly.
Downloading multiple files at the same time could put extra stress on a marginal connection.

Welcome to Discussions, Michael Pane
Depending on system configuration and installed third-party items, various users have reported different methods of restoring Flash video website functionality:
(1) For those who have installed Google plugins, user OysterOyster reports that uninstalling them restores proper iSight function with Flash and Mac OS X 10.6.5.
If Google is your problem, the GoogleVoiceAndVideoUninstaller.app should be in your hard drive's Library/Application Support/Google/ folder. (not your *Home > Library* folder)
Other users confirm that using the Google uninstaller works, including your post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12618888#12618888
Some other users, including those who do not use the Google plugins, have found other remedies.
(2) User joew13 reports that installing the 64-bit Flash plug-in beta for Mac OS X (DMG, 8.7 MB)
fixed Flash sites for him.
This link allows download of the 64-bit plugin beta from an official Adobe page:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
or, to download the beta directly, click this link--> http://tinyurl.com/2frejs4
Several other users have confirmed success after the beta update.
(3) User imagerle downgraded Flash to version 10,0,45,2 to restore Flash video.
If this older version is not available on a backup or an old install disk, it can be downloaded from Adobe's Archived Flash Players page:

Airport connected to internet, but not working in Safari or Firefox?

I had an airport network in my last apt. We just moved, and I can't set it up in our new apt! Our internet connect def works, and I get a green light on the airport. It says: <Airport is connected to the network "xxx". You are connected to the Internet via Airport/>
But then both Safari and Firefox say "server not found"!
what am I doing wrong?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I have other info on the modem I'm trying to connect to.
It is of a sensitive nature so I don't want to post it here.
HELP PLEASE!

Adobe Flash Player (Vers. 14.0.0.176) not working in Safari or Firefox on Mac (Mavericks; Vers. 10.9.4). What do I do?!

Hi all,
This is my first post to the forum. I've been directed here because I'm having issues with video streaming/playback (in particular, YouTube) on the Safari and Firefox browsers on my Mac. First, a little bit of information:
My computer:
I have a 2012 iMac with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 32 GB of memory and a 3TB Apple "Fusion" solid state hard drive. The software version my Mac is currently running is 10.9.4, on the Mavericks OS, as shown in the subject box.
My Issue:
I've noticed, in the past week or so, that video streaming and playback, on YouTube in particular, are either (a) slow or (b) not loading whatsoever. In YouTube, three things become apparent almost immediately: (1) the video (advert or no advert) simply does not load, with a black screen that turns into a grainy screen after a while with the message "An Error Occurred;" (2) the suggested videos on the side panel (i.e., to the right) do not load properly. The thumbnails of the videos simply do not load; and finally, (3) the comments also appear to experience issues from loading. I've attached screenshots to document this.
N.B. Comments do appear, along with the side panel thumbnails once YouTube has given up on trying to load the video
So, What have I done about it?
Everything I can do, to be honest. I've:
(1) Checked preferences in Safari (i.e., plugins are installed correctly)
(2) Cleared Cache in Safari
(3) Deleted "All Site Data and Settings" in the Flash Player section of my System Preferences
(4) Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player completely
(5) Reinstalled Adobe Flash Player
(6) Contacted Apple
(7) Checked Preferences in Safari again (i.e., plugins are installed correctly)
(8) Cleared Cache in Safari again
(9) Reset Safari
(10) Deleted "All Site Data and Settings" in the Flash Player section of my System Preferences
(11) Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player
(12) Undertook a "Clean Install" of Adobe Flash Player, following instructions
And alas, I'm in the forum! May I also add, that I have also scanned my hard drive for any corruption that may be present, generating a negative result. I just do not know what to do at this stage. I've done everything I have knowledge of in trying to resolve this issue.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Kieran

Just for further confirmation that the installation went through succesfully multiple times:

Javacript exeCommand("refresh") not working in safari

hi all,
hoping that i didnt miss any threads on this already..
im a web developer catering for both PC and MAC and developing web content for both IE and Safari..
using javascript and the exeCommand("refresh") object has been implemented in my code; works fine in IE (tested on PC) but doesnt work at any level in safari..
has formed a reasonably cructial component of my development in terms of HCI and so was wondering if there was an alternative compatible in safari..or why this might not be working..
a number of texts on Javascript detail that this should work in safari (using and testing on the latest version)..
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,
thanks

I wasn't familiar with exeCommand, and could not find it in the JavaScript 1.5 guide or in Apple's discussion of Safari's "JavaScript DOM".
Can you point me to a more up-to-date document, including exeCommand()?
I wonder, is this a Microsoft JScript method?
Here is one "Remoting" method illustrated:
