Gmail can be accessed in Explorer but not Firefox: why?

When I try to access Gmail on Firefox it keeps asking me to start a new account. Even the signin page takes me back to this new account creation page.
When I go to Explorer, there is no problem signing in. So the problem must be Firefox. I tried removing cookies, etc. Nothing works.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (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.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

Symbols show up in Internet Explorer but not Firefox, how do I fix this?

Symbols like ♡ or ★ (both of which I copy and pasted and can't see at all, they are just empty spaces without hex codes). I've installed the dejavu and symbola fonts but most symbols still do not show up. I tried checking on Internet Explorer and they show up there but not on Firefox, is there some way to fix this? Thank you.

Having this problem too. I just purchased a new laptop 2-3 weeks ago: Windows 7, 64-bit, currently running FF 7.0.1. Both IE9 and Chrome display with no trouble.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters
Most of the language tables are fine and the hex code boxes show up like they should for fonts I don't have versus just being blank. I see a TON of blank cells once I get to the Mathematical Operators table (~20% filled). Geometric Shapes is pretty sparse and there's almost nothing in Dingbats. I've verified that these are not blank in other browsers.
Is this likely a FF7 bug? My previous laptop had no issues displaying these characters and I don't think I had updated from FF6 before switching to the new laptop.

I teach online and firefox is recommended, Recently, the email functions quit working. They work with Explorer but not firefox. I want to use firefox.

When using Firefox, I can work in LoudCloud, which is Grand Canyon University's program; however, any locations from which I send students emails, comments, answers to questions, etc., is no longer working. It works when I switch to Internet Explorer, but I want to use Firefox. It is more user-friendly. Should I re-download Firefox?

Could you check which mail program or site is set to handle "mailto" links and try resetting it:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause while Firefox filters the list. You should get one row with a drop-down on the right that lets you choose your mail program or site. If your program is not selected, go ahead and change it now. If it is already selected, try refreshing the setting by changing to another program or site and OK out of the dialog. Then go back and change it back.
Does that make any difference? If I have misunderstood the email feature you're trying to use, could you describe it in more detail?

Hello,
I have checked with Explorer, Firefox and Chrome and it seems to work fine for me on all the browsers.
Did you manage to get it fixed or you are still facing issues on your machine?

I can not access the net w/ Internet Explorer but not firefox. I have Mozilla set as default browser.

I have had a problem previously accessing the net w/ firefox. After checking firefox info site, I set Firefox as the default browser and that corrected the problem. It has now happened again w/ the settings as described. No problems (other than normal) w/ Internet Esplorer and no problems w/ Thunderbird. Suggestions?

You may also need to reset some prefs. You have a lot of prefs in your More system details list that were changed from the default. 
One of them being the pref to override the user agent to Firefox 3.6.3
general.useragent.override Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
If you haven't set network.http prefs yourself to those values for specific reasons then you should reset them (not all servers support pipelining). dom.max_chrome_script_run_time 0 and dom.storage.enabled false should also only be done in case of problems. dom.storage is a replacement for cookies and dom.max_chrome_script_run_time set to 0 may cause the browser to hang in case of script errors.

I cannot click on tabs in any website, do you know why? I can do it when using Internet Explorer but not firefox.

I have used Mozilla Firefox for years, but all of a sudden I cannot put my curser over a tabs on any website and click on it. What I mean is the top of the websites have words you can click on to go to other pages or in the email system it has tab buttons that allow you look at your inbox or close or save draft, it doesn't allow the curser to click on it. I can go to the tool bar put my curser in that and use the tab button on the key board to tab over to each word or link and then click enter and it will then go to that next page.

Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

I have Problem uploading photos to craigslist. It says it has a problem communicating with the server and times out. It works in explorer but not Firefox and I just recently downloaded the new version of firefox. Can you be of any help?

Photos will not upload and the server times out.

Well, two thoughts.
The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.

I can't see pictures when on EBAY. I can see them in Chrome and Explorer, but not Firefox

This just started happening in the past few days. I can't see EBAY pictures (there are some other sites as well where I now don't see pictures). I see the pictures fine using other browsers.

Do you have AdBlock Plus or any of the ad-blocking add-ons? If so, that may be what is causing the problem.
There's just something about eBay that makes these add-ons think the entire website is an advertisement and so they're just trying to do their job and block everything "ad-related".
If you disable your AdBlock Plus or whatever it is just for ebay, you should see it go back to normal.

URL links provided in emails (Windows Mail) stopped working. I get a popup message: "Windows cannot find...." asking me to make the URL is correct. I connect to Internet Explorer, but not Firefox, my default browser.

I have already updated Firefox to latest version and reset the default mail program to Windows Mail. But Windows Mail now doesn't want to recognize Firefox. If I shift to Internet Explorer, I have no problem. I have no problem receiving or sending emails, just using links contained in them.
This happened suddenly, two days ago, at the end of a day when linking had been possible, per usual.

nothing that I could find would solve my problem, so I just gave up trying...
then I had a group of Microsoft Updates badly interact with each other, causing me all kinds of stability problems involving SQL and printer drivers.
To fix those issues, I backed out all updates within the prior two months, then [slowly and painfully!] reinstalled them -- when done in groups, you can tell how Microsoft corrects bad updates by noting which ones are not reinstalled.
I also had to download and install every single MS SQL update available before everything that was broken worked again. Note that none of the updates had titles that suggested anything at all to do with web browsing (other than Internet Explorer) or Firefox.
There was also at least one Firefox update shortly after my re-installation of Windows Updates.
Funny thing happened along that path: as of today (version 32.0.1) has none of the problems I reported, but I cannot say for certain which change fixed them: I was far more concerned fixing SQL and printer issues to even test Firefox for default file association settings.
Sorry that I cannot be more useful, other than the general suggestions to:
(1) keep your system fully updated with all patches
(2) keep your anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spybot software current as well
(3) keep any program that uses HTML and other browser protocols also up to date
(4) take regular snapshots of your registry, and create a system restore point before every system and software update, so you can more easily back out problems
(5) keep the installation package(s) for prior version(s) of software (and Windows Update files) at least until you verify an update hasn't broken anything.
Hope that helps.

Flex Plugin that calls Webservice works in Internet Explorer but not firefox

I created a simple flex plugin that consumed a web service i
built and was working with it locally. I uploaded the files to the
server, and when i test the file out in internet explorer, the
plugin loads great. However when firefox or any other browser
attempts to load the same file i get "Http Request Error"? I've got
a crossdomain.xml loaded up.. here it is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
SYSTEM "
http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>
Any ideas? Thanks. I should note that the webservice and the
plugin are both on the same domain.

I was playing around some more, when i yank the
crossdomain.xml, both browsers display a security error, but when i
put it back in, internet explorer is happy but firefox still spits
out "Http Request Error"

Unable to use all the feature of my email service (Juno on the web) like; font size/color, bolding, italics, highlighting etc why? Those features work through Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

When I go to my Juno on the web through Firefox, I am unable to use the tool features such as:
Font size / Color
Bolding
Italics
Bullets
Highlighting
just to name a few. Yet when I bring it up through Internet Explorer these features work, plus the way Firefox reads my Juno the tabs are distorted (the page is not formatted correctly, I contacted Juno they said I should contact my modem company AT& T they said no so you are my last resort.. Please help resolve my issue, THANK YOU in advance for assisting with this matter.

It is up to Juno to enable Midas, the Rich Text Editor which is built into Firefox, with one little line of code on every web page that has RTE for IE. There's nothing that you can do to turn that feature on your self, it has to be coded on each web page that has Rich Text Editing.
http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midas-spec.html 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Midas
Their ignorance probably lies with their staff programmers only knowing how to do it for IE ''(their training and certificates are probably from the Microsoft cabal)'', and not realizing that Gecko and WebKit apps each have their own Rich Text Editor's, which require their own small line of code to enable those Editor's.
