Firefox does not process paypaly continue_shopping links correctly.

firefox does not process paypaly continue_shopping links correctly. When you are at the paypal 'View Cart' and click on the continue shopping link it should take you back to the page you came from (this works in IE and Chrome) instead you end up on a 'sign in to PayPal page'
As far as I know this will happen on any page that is using PayPal add to cart buttons with a continue_shopping_url but you can see it on my own page below.

Very odd today it seems to work ok. I've tried it several times over the last week and each time it would do as described above. Today it works properly. Go Figure.

After the latest update Firefox does not show TRANSLATE THIS link on facebook

After the latest update Firefox does not show TRANSLATE THIS link on facebook. I have many posts from Brazil but now they can not be translated since the link is missing. How to fix?

If I click on a link Firefox does not advance to the link but shows "Done".

On most web pages, Firefox fails to advance to a new page when I click on a link. It shows the link info at the bottom of the bpage but then immediately shows "Done"
If I switch to IE, it uysually works there.
I would prefer to continue using Firefox but this is getting irritating.

Newest firefox does not display aspects of simple html web site correctly

Newest Firefox does not display certain web pages correctly whereas Safari does- previous versions of Firefox worked fine.
The web pages are simple html using bumpers to position photos. Several of these pages allow "see through" in these bumper areas of prior page. It appears that Firefox is not releasing its memory of the prior page. Each of these pages is a specific address and should be loaded as a separate solo page. Please look at html pages 10 and 14 of this site. It seems that the code for these bumpers is not being honored and the persistent memory of the prior page is being intermixed. I cleared the cache and reinstalled Firefox with no change in problem.
Please help.
My business is struggling...

Hello - thanks for your response!
I reinstalled Firefox 7.0.1 - still have the problem.
Cache was cleared.
I tried restarting in safe mode also with no change.
I reinstalled Firefox 6.0.1 - works fine.
I have attached a screen shot showing the problem on 1 of the pages.
These are simple html pages that use .gif bumpers to help position the photos in some cases but not on all of the site pages. The sample screen shot shows the compound problem - the code for the gif bumpers is not being honored and part of the image from the prior page is showing through - the prior page is not being fully released. Each page is a separate entity with a separate address, so when the new page loads there should be no evidence or visibility of the prior one.
This simple bit of website building should be working on this browser, on this Mac with this OS. Safari works. Firefox 6 works.
Sample problem pages are 10 and 14.

Thank you so much!

Thanks Jason, I had the same problem and did exactly the steps above. Problem solved! You rock! :)

Firefox does not open links with a new window or tab for certain web sites, e.g. Santander On line banking, help links.

When accessing some sites where they have links for additional information that would normally open a new window or tab, Firefox does not open either. This happens on a variety of sites, most recently the Santander on-line banking site.

When I try to click on a download link for a .pdf file Firefox does not recognize the MIME type and tries to download the file as "index.php"

When visiting a site I frequent I tried to download a linked .pdf file. Previously I've used Firefox 7.0.1 to download the link with no problem. Using Firefox 8 however I the browser does not recognize the .pdf link's mime type. Instead of recognizing the download link as a .pdf file Firefox 8 tries to download it as "index.php". Firefox 8 does this with .doc files and .txt files as well. When I downgrade to 7.0.1 again the problem disappears.

Hi hakmacpace,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
Hopefully this helps!

Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

I have been a happy user of Firefox for many years. Around last April first I opened Firefox and was offered an update to v 4.42.0.0 which I accepted. Installation seemingly went well. I forget now exactly what happened but the result has been that ever since April 1 I haven’t been able to open the Firefox browser when clicking on the Firefox icon. My computer now was running very slowly. I tried to uninstall Firefox, but a popup told me I couldn’t because Firefox was in use. This confused me because I couldn’t see it being used. Only now I have found that on Task Manager processes that “firefox.exe” was consuming 99 % of the CPU. After removing firefox.exe by clicking End Process my computer ran better. I uninstalled Firefox I had on my computer and installed Firefox 5.0. Unfortunately I have the same problems: Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

Born2die! Brilliant. I am a desktop clicker and never knew Firefox had a safe mode.
Thank You!
I was unable to start in safe mode initially. The second time I disabled all of the Add-Ons and she started up just fine. I enabled them one by one hoping to track down the culprit but the problem seems to have gone away.
BTW I am running ver. 3.6.8 (in response to cor-el's earlier post) and
Firefox is in the process of downloading 3.6.10 (which I am starting to think may have been what caused this whole problem to begin with)
Incidentally, whats up with all of the Java Console Add Ons?
I have:
Java Console 6.0.11, Java Console 6.0.13, Java Console 6.0.15
Java Console 6.0.17, Java Console 6.0.20, and Java Console 6.0.21
What are they? Do I need them? Can I uninstall them? Is this due to using Open Office?
Also, .NET Framework 0.0.0 Should I uninstall it?

Firefox does not open Gmail to send link when I click the Send Link option on the menu. Idid set the mail to option to Gmail.

Even though I set Gmail as the mail to setting on the Options tab, firefox does not send links. This started when I updated to the new version of Firefox.

Firefox does not open Gmail to send link when I click the Send Link option on the menu. I have set Gmail as the mailto option, but did not help

Firefox does not activate Gmail when I click send link in the menu under File or by right click menu on a webpage. I have set Gmail as the Mail to under options, but this did not help.

I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

Latest version of Firefox does not even start up, it just stays in Processes but refuses to be shut down or started up. Same with Beta.

I've had an old firefox installer which I have been using for some time, though a few days ago it tried to update to a new version. Up comes an update bar as usual. Problem is when it is done firefox does not start. Left in processes in task manager is a firefox which refuses to be killed. Any further tries to start firefox will just add another process also unable to be killed. Before I had to reboot the computer every time it tried to update, just to be able to uninstall firefox and install the older version I had. Now, unfortunately, I deleted that old version, so now I have no functioning firefox at all. Same thing happens with the latest beta version.

i forgot the exact text of the original error message, but it was looking for a *.dll that was not there - as if the install had not completed.
tried re-installing & it would stop in the middle of the download with a completely different error message - i was going to screen grab it, but then i got it to work!
Anyway, after uninstalling everything related to iTunes, emptying my recycle bin, cleaning up a bunch of unnecessary files, and stopping some programs that were running in the background (using task manager) - i did a complete re-install from the Apple iTunes website & it worked fine.
thanks!

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

Firefox does not display the e with acute accent character correctly from a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_ca or fr_fr. However, it does it correctly when my browser language setting is fr. How do i get it to display e with acute accent and other iso8859 characters correctly in a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_fr and fr_ca?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Use Unicode (UTF-8) for those characters.
Then you will always be sure that they are displayed correctly.

Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail, but Internet Explorer Does

Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail - any email, but Internet Explorer does.

Hello John.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

When I click on a link Firefox does not allow me to go to the link

When I click on a link Firefox does not go the link.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Along time ago.

I think i've found how to fix this issue when it appears. Don't know what caused it to happen, but that's up to the devs.
In Thunderbird, you need to re-register http and https to make them open with Firefox (or open well with firefox in this case).
How to to this?
Well... open the about:config in thunderbird. You can achieve this by clicking configuration-editor in the advanced tab.
search for the strings: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Set both to "true".
The next time you click on a link from within Thunderbird, it will ask you to set wich program you'd like to open it with.
Be Aware now!!! Firefox may already be listed in there, but don't pick that one. instead... choose to browse for the app and point to the binairy/exe of firefox.
(for example: /usr/bin/firefox or c:/program files/mozilla/firefox.)
You will notice that firefox now does open up with the page you just clicked on.
If it doesn't right away... just restart thunderbird and check again.
Please respond if this works for you too on all platforms. It's more interesting to know it does than if it's not.
Greetz,
Kenny
