I have loaded the new Flash version into Firfox several times, but none of my sites recognize it when using Firefox. It works fine on all other browsers, but I would prefer to use Firfox if this problem can be solved.

I use Firefox 4.0.1 on a Mac running Os X10.5.8. When I try to run Facebook or other sites that are heavy users of Flash I get a message that the new version of Flash must be loaded. I have loaded the latest version several times, but still get the message and these sites will not run on Firefox. The sites run fine with Safari or Chrome but I prefer to use Firefox if it can be made to run these sites. Thank you for any suggestions you have to help fix this problem.

Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
2. Select to "Options
3. Select "Applications"
4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

  • Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

    Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

    This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
    Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

  • Uploading files containing swedish letter åäö gets ecoding corrupted in firefox for mac. Same features works fine in all other browsers. Is this a bug in firefox for mac?

    When uploading a file containing swedish letter å, ä or ö the file name is gets corupted in the filename. There are som encoding issues just for the mac version, since the file name is uploaded correctly in all other browsers on mac and all browsers in windows.

    What form does this corruption take? According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695995 the difference is decomposed vs precomposed Unicode forms, but that should not actually affect any Unicode-complian software. If there's a site that shows a problem here, can you point me to it?

    to reproduce:
    1. click on a flash button that takes you to a new html page

  • Rollover only works on the border  in internet explorer but works fine in all other browsers

    I created an aerial map and on specific areas I created a rollover, meaning when you rollover an the image of exp. a house a picture of the house pops up in bigger. It works really well in all browsers..... but in Internet explorer. In internet explorer nothing rolls over. but when I put a border, it does rollover but only when the mouse is on the border. I do not want the border there. I want it to rollover when teh mouse is on the area How can I solve this issue just for internet explorer.
    Below is my coding i used:
    In HTML:
    <div class="map">
    <img src="Img/map-of-area.png">
    <div class="maparea">
    <a class="volley" href="htmlmainhouse.html"> <span> <img src="Img/photos/map/fields.JPG" width="170" height="130" alt="sample" border="0"  /></span> </a>
    </div>
    </div>
    In CSS:
    a.volley{
    /* border: 2px solid red; */
    height: 35px;
    width: 90px;
    position:absolute;
    top: 310px;
    left: 275px;
    z-index:20; 
    a.volley { 
    display:inline; 
    z-index:30; 
    a.volley span { 
    display:none; 
    a.volley:hover span { 
    display:block; 
    position:absolute; 
    top:1em; 
    left:1em; 
    width:64px; 
    height:64px; 

    For rollovers on image maps, you'll get better cross-browser results with JavaScript functions.  See link for details:

    When the message arrives, the message tone sound that many times. How this problem can be solved? I installed the new version, but the problem is not resolved, the future is to be taken into account in the new version of this?

    I'm not sure I understand the question, is the message tone going more then once?
    Turn off repeat message alert here:
    settings > notifications > messages > repeat alert > never
    Some people have found this does not stop the repeat miessage tone,
    if you are one of those then I suggest you contact Apple:

    They may not respond, but hopefully will fix in uodate if enough people complain.

    I have an I pad Mini. Since i down loaded the new update ISO 7, my I Pad is not running certain media files either from Chrome or Safari browser. I called technical support but they failed to provide any help stating the media files may not be compctable with new soft ware. I do bnot agree with their finding because i have I phone with ISO 7 updated soft ware and same files run on my I phone but not on I Pad. This was working fine before updating new software. This device is useless for me if i can not watch the program that i bought this for. I want device to replaced or taken back by the company. Thank you

    Here are the iPad Mini specifications:

  • I can not get Firefox to play music backgrounds on pages in browsers it works in IE and other browsers but not firefox, what HTML or Jave script do I need too use to make them work?

    I'm having a problem with firefox playing background music on some sites, it works with IE and other browsers but not with fire fox, what html or java script do I need to add to the pages so that they play the music?
    I develop my pages in Front Page and I know that the music only works in IE, so if someone can tell me how to correct this problem as it is important as I use fire fox as my main browser.
    I thank you in advance

    If a website uses BGSOUND then it will only work in IE.
    BGSOUND is not compatible with other browsers like Firefox.

  • Site beachballs Safari in OSX and iOS, loads fine on all other browsers.

    Site beachballs Safari in OSX and iOS, loads fine on all other browsers.
    Loads in safari if javascript is disabled.
    Because it beachballs safari i can't even debug the issue in safari.
    This site was working in Safari before, I beleive this issue started with the latest Safari update, but don't hold me to that.
    I need help figuring out what the issue is so I can fix it for Safari users.
    Since it bricks safari i can't even get far enough to determine what the issue is.
    Please help!!! Please, please, pretty please. :-)
    Pointers? Tips? Ideas on how to track down the issue?
    site is: http://bumblebeetoys.com/
    (no flash or similar content in this page, this is a standard website.)

    the page loads in safari if javascript is disabled, it seems to be something javascript related that is causing the issue.  i wish safari didn't lockup so I could actually debug the issue safari is having.
    this is a magento site so yeah, there are wc3 validation errors as with most magento sites.
    i'll look into resolving as many of those as possible, but all the other webkit based browsers load the site fine, which also points back to a javascript issue as safari uses its own javascript implimentation.
    anyone have any ideas?  please chime in.  thanks.

  • Embedded youtube videos load on all other browsers but not Firefox

    I have embedded youtube videos into a website...
    They work on ALL OTHER BROWSERS but not on Mozilla Firefox.
    I have tried:
    1. Clearing cache & cookies and using Safe Mode.
    2. 18 different computers running Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OSX, Linux Ubuntu 12.10 and Fedora 16.
    3. Using old embed code instead of iframe.
    4. Loading HTML5 works but Firefox cannot fullscreen (still under youtube development)
    5. Redoing site from scratch.
    Code is as follows, note middle video is old youtube code: http://pastebin.com/T3w09bqW

    I have a php module which runs fine in Firefox and all other browsers but not Safari. It always run twice - I see a small ? in upper right corner which is causing it to run twice but NO idea why? I read it MAY have something to do with am image it cannot load but I see them all loaded.  Help - thank you

    Could you share a link to the page?
    Seeing it in context and in our browsers is much easier to debug.
    If not, make sure to run the validator here The W3C Markup Validation Service and clear out any problems. HTML errors, especially structural ones, will cause all kinds of display problems in various browsers/versions/platforms.

    I ran your site with Firefox error console and got the attached, perhaps Safari can't handle these errors.  Activity monitor does show Safari in a hard cpu loop while trying to access the site.  'Sample Process' seems to point at a Java Script as the culprit.
