Netflix Instant Play will not work with Firefox but works fine with Internet Explorer

When I log in to Netflix, I cannot play instant movies from my Queue. I called Netflix and they said to reset my router. I did this and now Netflix Instant play works with Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

I am able to type a search word in but on clicking it, nothing changes. No results. the word just stays there.
I also downloaded the https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/ -- at first I wondered if it was not letting me install. So I allowed it in exceptions. But I'm not clear on what it does or what I do to use it.

A week ago, both worked fine.

I am unable to print (any website) from the latest Firefox, but print fine from Internet Explorer. Using Windows Vista on a desktop machine.

printer advances page and spits it out with either nothing or a single garbled line printed on it instead of a whole web page. This is independent of which web site and even happens with web sites that have a specific PRINT or PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION button. Printing is fine from Internet Explorer. Unsure about Chrome. Printing from Firefox worked fine until I downloaded newest version. Operating system is Windows Vista on a 64 bit desktop computer.

Try the '''reset''' described here:

Changes to uploaded website colors will not change on firefox, although it showa on internet explorer

I uploaded my website with filezilla. Color changes were made. Om firefox the old clors still show, even after refresh. On internet explorer the website displays the correct colors.

I expect this is due to the old version of the website being saved in Firefox's cache rather than being downloaded from the internet.
You can refresh a web page without using cache (full page refresh) by clicking Ctrl + F5 on the keyboard.
If that doesn't work the clear the cache using the instructions here: [[How to clear the Firefox cache]].
Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. This is now an outdated version. To get the latest security fixes I recommend upgrading to v24. See here for more: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

Links or buttons do not respond in Firefox but do respond in Internet Explorer

Sometimes and increasingly more often, links or buttons do not respond in Firefox, no new tab opens just nothing happens. But in Internet Explorer, the links or buttons respond normally and everything runs smoothly.
What is the cause then ?

PayPal button not visible in Firefox, but IS visible in Internet Explorer. WHY??

Hi!
I was trying to make an online purchase & the yellow PayPal selection button wasn't visible. I called the company to make sure they accepted PayPal, (they do), & they opened their browser & made a test purchase so they could tell me where the PayPal button was. On their browser the PayPal button was there...on mine it wasn't. I closed out Firefox & restarted it, but the PayPal option button never appeared. I decided to try to make the purchase using IE & the PayPal button was right where the company told me it would be!!! Do I have to change one of my settings somehow?? I avoid IE like the plague...I even deleted the Desktop shortcut for it on my laptop...I had to do a search so I could use it to test this issue. I really don't want to have to use IE for anything!!! Help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks very much :)

Michael's Weekly Ad does not load in Firefox, but it loads in Internet Explorer

My wife and I have different computers, and she is interested in many ads for craft stores and the like. As such, she's been telling me how the Michael's Weekly Ad (http://weeklyad.michaels.com) does not load on her computer. Just for a kick, I thought I'd try it on mine, fully expecting it not to load, but then it did. I have double-checked everything I can think of; I have completely updated her add-ons (which turned out to be useless anyway because after disabling ALL of mine, the ad still loaded), I checked to make sure our version of Firefox match, and I have tried using search engines (Google) to locate any similar problems to no avail. Is there any explanation available (and ideally fixing whatever is wrong)?

A lot of content on that page is loaded via JavaScript, so she may be blocking some scripts on that page if it sin't displaying prolerly.
If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|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).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Farmville will not load using Firefox, but it will with IE, for over a week now.

Farmville will not load using Firefox, but it will with IE, for over a week now. I have cleared the cache and cookies multiple times, updated flash player, did a virus and malware scan, allowed java script, allowed mozilla in the Windows firewall, contacted Zynga multiple times, and yet Farmville still will not load using Firefox, my main and preferred browser. I'm very frustrated and want this fixed.

Thanks for the advice cor-el, but if you would read the info I posted, I already did that, SEVERAL TIMES. That's not the solution unfortunately.

I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Photo gallery popups will not open in firefox, but does in internet explorer

In the last few days popups within a website will not open. IE photo gallerys, logins for internet banking.
It seems to be a problem only in firefox as they will open with internet explorer

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
