If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains (e,g, sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net).
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

Why does Firefox take so long to load beta images on some sites?

I upgraded to one of the latest versions of Firefox, and it's better in some ways. It loads much faster than previous versions, but when I try to look at certain websites - the Globe and Mail is one of them - I get messages like "waiting for beta images" and Firefox just sits there and I can't look at the site. Why does Firefox take so long to upload beta images? I don't have that problem with Internet Explorer.

Firefox much slower connecting to all web sites than Internet Explorer. Why?

Over the last few weeks, Firefox has become much slower connecting to virtually all web sites that I frequent than does Internet Explorer. Nothing has changed on my computer other than occasional downloads of Firefox "improvements".

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox keeps saying can't connect to server for every site but internet explorer can

I was using firefox before and it worked fine. But then yesterday firefox updated itself and since then it wouldn't work. its not the firwall, not a proxey problem, I had uninstalled it and reinstalled it but that didn't work either. Internet explorer still works and so does the wireless for the laptop but just for my desktop firefox doesn't work. Now everytime I open firefox or try any other site it says "can't connect to the server at ..." what do I do.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?

Some sites needs Internet Explorer and doesnt open in Safari!!!

Hello,
There are couple of sites that doesnt open in Safari and the messege I get is : The TIBCO General Interface product requires Microsoft Internet Explorer v. 6.0 or greater.
The website is http://www.dsm.com.qa/dsmsite/ And then click on Love Quotes.
Please help me with it.
Thank you!!!

Hi,
As Tom says, the website is geared towards Windows Internet Explorer users only.
The only 2 options you have are to:
1. Send them feedback about the problem to http://www2.dsm.com.qa/dsm/DSM_ContactUs and hope they eventually increase their compatibility with other systems.
2. Run VirtualPC so that you are effectively running Windows on your Mac (or simply buy a cheap PC).
Sorry it's not better news.

On one site, Mozilla Firefox doesn't remember my Password any more, but Internet Explorer does.

Yesterday, I accessed the website for my bank. I entered the account #, then the password. I received an error message on the password, although I was almost sure the password was correct. I clicked "don't remember password" and was given the very password I had entered. I was really puzzled, but tried it again. It still didn't work. I then tried Internet Explorer at the advice of my bank rep. I created a new password on Internet Explorer, and was able to get right through to the website. Later, I tried Mozilla Firefox again with the original password. Again, the password was not accepted, but when I asked to access the correct password, I was given the new password I had entered on Internet Explorer. I'm very confused. Please help!

Hey Mez115, awesome to hear and thanks for reporting back! =)

Firefox won't let me pay bills but Internet Explorer will. E.g. 24ace.co.uk

I start to fill in details to pay a bill on a supplier's website. Firefox never gives me a successful completion. On some websites, I get as far as the "VISA Verify" last stage and then get a message that there has been a problem. On 24ace website, I only get as far as choosing to pay by Debit Card when the process stops before I get to the stage of entering the card details. Internet Explorer works first time every time. My operating system is VISTA32

Drakon may be thinking some new fixes in the beta version of Firefox might have fixed this particular problem. Although I am not that confident after using many versions of Firefox and the different types of builds they have (nightly, beta and release).
My advice is to stay on the current Firefox you have. I don't think there's any immediate solution to your problem as some websites are incompatible with Firefox and must update the broken website code on their site.
I'll try a test purchase on http://24ace.co.uk when I can and see if I get the same problem as you.
One easy thing to try is clearing your cookies and cache to see if that helps.
To clear cache and cookies:
* Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history
If no Firefox button is shown, go to Tools > Clear recent history.
* Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
* Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
* From the details list, check '''Cache''' and '''Cookies''' and uncheck everything else.
* Now click the '''Clear now''' button.

Since I updated Firefox, MySpace radio no longer opens. Internet Explorer will open the radio. Does Firefox block this Myspace feature?

Also, 'Help Menu' on Myspace won't open or appears in a very small space across the top of the screen. Editing functions e.g. 'Manage Videos' also does not work, but works fine in Internet Explorer.

It shouldn't be blocking Myspace. Could you try to clear the cache and see if that solves the problem? See this article for instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cache-delete-temporary-files-fix-issues?s=clear+site&r=5&e=es&as=s

For email links from state of Montana employees to pdf files: Firefox pulls up a blank screen but Internet Explorer pulls up the pdf file.

Whenever I get an email from a state of Montana employee with a link to a pdf file, the link does not work - it just pulls up a blank screen in Firefox. However, when I put the same link in Internet Explorer, the link works and the pdf file appears on my screen. This prevents me from efficiently using email. Here is an example of a link I recently received: "As noted in the [http://leg.mt.gov/content/committees/interim/2011-2012/water-policy/agenda/wpic09132011.pdf agenda pdf] agenda, the Committee will discuss a variety of water-related topics..."

How do I install the Firefox plugin it's talking about on that page?
I only see directions to install Adobe Reader.
I cannot install a different version of Adobe. As I mentioned above, I do not have Admin privileges on this computer.
This is the version of Adobe that my employer has decided we will be using, and I do not have a vote.
I can change internal settings, and I can install Firefox plugins, but I can't install programs themselves - I don't have the necessary Admin rights to do so.
Thanks anyway, but I don't have the Admin rights needed to install Adobe Reader in the manner mentioned in this article. (I have the full Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.09).

Firefox will not open links in gmail, but Internet Explorer will. Firefox is the default browser. The tab of the site it is trying to open reads: https:/w8mbn4 or https:/...urw8nbn4. No errors in the Error counsel are reported. Help!

I put in the WOT Addon, but Uninstalled it with not improvement.

I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

Firefox won't open my Google calendar but Internet Explorer will. How can I fix this?

This is the screen I get from Firefox - I have tried after saving, changing and deleting cookies:
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.

Firefox Version: 3.6.6

Version 3.6.6 and Internet explorer will not load sites, so I reloaded the older 3.6.3 of firefox and websites load fine. Internet Explorer still will not load. The error message corresponding with 3.6.6 was that there were problems with the proxy serve

Upgraded to 3.6.6 and no sites loaded, error in proxy server. Internet explorer will not load either. Reloaded firefox 3.6.3 and sites load fine, but internet explorer still will not load. I was only able to connect to yahoo messenger when websites were not loading.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.6

I have a problem with Firefox loading. It will not load and it says Firefox is using a proxy that refuses connection. Check with your network administrator. How do I get Firefox to work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice. Any help would be great thanks.

You can also check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
