When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?
I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

A website I was using to find out some transport information has hijacked my Firefox on my laptop and I am unable to get rid of it. I do not trust this other browser so I have stopped using Firefox altogether on my laptop until I find out how to get rid of this other browser. I have an Apple MacBook.
Hi there and thanks for replying. I am not quite sure what you mean by 'restore back to the troubled date'. Would you please explain how I should do this?

The "Logout" button does not appear my Sakai sessions. I have to mouse over the blank area to find the link to logout. The Logout button does appear in Safari. Firefox version 10.0. Mac OS 10.7.2
To make sure that all required media is in the library contain the project you need to "Consolidate media" see: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov882dee351
You can then copy the library to your laptop with the Finder and open it with the same version of iMovie. The last phrase is important since Apple has made changes in the project format several times even between minor updates of iMovie 10. Earlier versions may not be able to read the library and later versions (not possible in this case) may cause the project to be updated so that it is no longer readable by the desktop version. iMovie on the laptop will not at first find the copied library - you will have either to double click on it or File - Open library - Other and navigate to its location.

trying to veiw videos from a website that requires me to download firefox and silverlight.My imac osx 10.5.8 will now download firefox. firfx tells me my mac is not compatible with ffox Please help me ? Thank you
There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
-ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
For more information, visit:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

Where did the quality of Firefox go ?
I have been using firefox since it came out. Right after Netscape in fact. It had just about always been a light weight browser. Fast and it worked. Very few glitches. But over the past few versions, the quality has gone down hill. Why ? Whom ever is in charge of it, has lost focus. Please solve the glitches. There are graphical glitches as well as download glitches. Actually there are a lot of glitches that are even memory related. And I have read post after post, with not one of these problems getting fixed. I have even posted questions, and I get the same exact response every time "please reset in safe mode" ... "shut your anti-virus off" ... and one time I even got the response "get chrome, its better". Seriously ? has firefox gotten this bad that we all have to resort to chrome ? I can't stand chrome. But if one were to sit back and look at firefox, its JUST LIKE CHROME ! I don't not like the looks of or the direction of Firefox because its like the developers prefer chrome. ???? #$%#$%?#$?%#?$%
I know about forcing us firefox users to have to CHANGE our settings to go back to the old style, but with each new update, it resets and you just get tired of doing that. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TOO ! I loved firefox the way it WAS. But now with all this bloated crap that is getting installed into Firefox lately, its no longer viable as a good choice between the major browsers. It's pathetic that i am being forced to have to go to chrome because it can handle more then 2 tabs open without falling apart. I'm very disappointed in Mozollia team. It's like they don't care anymore. The Quality is gone.
I know I am ranting here, but dang it, I have been waiting for even half these bugs to get fixed for the past 8 version updates. All I am seeing is more "features" and not enough fixes. The graphical tab glitches, the lock ups, all because of something gone wrong with these past updates. I have even seen people complain about it in the forums here. Like I said, even I posted a problem about the failed downloads. And people tried the usual responses. but apparently no one has a clue whats really going on with firefox because its become too bloated. I said it once and I'll repeat it.. The Quality in Firefox is gone.
If I get banned or this post gets censored, it just goes to show whats been happening to firefox lately.''jscher2000 [[#answer-722009|said]]''
<blockquote>
What are the graphical glitches? The most common cause of pixels ending up having the wrong content is an incompatibility with your graphics card/chipset driver software. As newer versions of Firefox turn on new graphical features, these keep cropping up because the beta test program doesn't represent the full diversity of systems used by Firefox users. I don't see any solution to that, but we deal with this all the time, so let us know/see your symptoms and then we can make suggestions.</blockquote>
I am using latest Graphics drivers from NVidia. I have the GTX 680 with 2 Gigs ram. My friend has the AMD R9 ( I don't recall which one ) and he has the same problem. This problem has existed for the past several updates. Also, I am not using anything beta, I am using the releases that are from firefox only. If they send me an update I update because usually updates are about security. Which I am for that and its something I respect about firefox in general.
An example of the graphical glitch is when you open a tab, the graphics won't update to let you see the new tab. I have my settings set that if I open a new tab it will automatically switch to the other newly opened tab. I see the new tab open, and I can see that it is the newly current shown tab. But the "info" inside that tab does not update. Sometimes the tab itself messes up and it won't completely draw itself. This is the graphical glitches I see. This happens even if I have no plugins loaded. I have spent the last several versions trying to solve this. Updating drivers.. etc etc. It all boils down to firefox.
<blockquote>
Can you describe what you're running into more specifically? </blockquote>
I have an desktop toolbar that tells me what memory usage is. Firefox has a tendency to raise the memory to the max 20 gigs I have on my computer. ( Yes I have 20 gigs System ram on this Quad Xeon computer system ) Keep in mind, it does this randomly, and at random websites. This is not a constant occurrence and difficult to reproduce. However, after a lot of observation, I am starting to believe it has to do with websites that have flash installed and I do not have flash installed. I do not like flash. I use HTML5 if the website offers it. Which most of the time it does. I watch a lot of youtube videos. Come to think of it, it is possible that videos are the issue here and the HTML5 side of it is the problem. I love HTML5, don't get me wrong, but in Firefox it may not be completely working yet.
This is my thinking at least, I could be completely off here on this.
<blockquote>
Firefox should not reset its UI after updates. Only extensions incompatible with a new version should be disabled, and their configuration data should be preserved so that you can update the extension and be back where you were. If you are losing settings after an update, it's possible that the "Refresh" feature is running. Have you noticed a new or growing "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop?
</blockquote>
Yea, for the past several updates, it keeps resetting everything when I run an update. So I am forced to "fix" it back and I had given up after this latest update. I am just using the default because I see no point anymore. Too old and tired to fight this. Whatever happened to simplicity like back in the 70s and 80s when stuff just ran and it worked. Netscape was my fave in the late 90s and then when firefox came out I fell in love again. Now.. I'm loosing my love... It's why I posted this message, I am frustrated and I am ranting in the hopes that someone gets the hint to please please please, don't loose the quality that firefox was known for. -
Are there other internet browsers that work well displaying websites with a lot of Flash content?
Other than the browser that came on the Samsung Droid Charge....
Are there other internet browsers that work well displaying websites with a lot of Flash content?
Thanks in advance!I use Dolphin Browser 6.0. Its faster than 5.0 and has no issues with Flash. I have used flash and used the Beta 6.0 and now the actual released version. Its the best so far. It has tabs like a normal computer browser and even has a gesture feature to do scrolling.
Others are Firefox which has NO flash. Then there is SkyFire which is ok, uses its servers to compress data and show it on your phone, its quick but I found the quality of images not as good as stock.
Opera Mobile and Mini do the same as skyfire.
I personally just didnt care for Xscope of Miren browsers. Didnt care for the feel of Xscope and Miren was developed in China and is modeled after Iphone Browser.
Try em all if you want, biggest benefit of the aftermarket browser is you can sync certain accounts (dolphin with google, firefox with firefox) and instead of storing the Cache info using phone memory you can now save the data and the web browser on the SD card. -
Hi all. I want to make audio chat with my brother. I use iChat on my MBP. He uses Gtalk on his windows PC. The problem is that the audio icon is gray so I cannot start audio chat. Is there anyway? Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows or not? I am confused.
HI,
You need to satisfy several things along the way
Account type
You need to have a Jabber or Google mail Account your self.
If you have a Google Mail Account then it needs the "Talk" option Enabled in your Google account Settings ( A Facebook with "Chat" enabled is also a valid Jabber ID to use in iChat).
Connection Method
This is about which apps can connect to which apps for Video ro Audio to work.
iChat Video when using a Jabber account is iChat to iChat Only.
iChat connects using a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
Jabber based Apps if they have an A/V module connect using protocol called Jingle.
Needless to say Google do their own version of this that is written in to the web Browser Plugin that allows Video Chats (there are PC and Mac versions), and in the PC app called GoogleTalk.
However it is also not that compatible with other Jabber apps.
See Jingle here
This claims, now, that Google had a hand in writing the Protocol.
Also in the "Clients Supporting Jingle" list many more version of Google products are mentioned with extended info. (it suggests that someone at Google has been editing the page).
Can iChat make voice chat with Gtalk on windows or not?
The specific answer to this to be clear is NO.
We are talking about different Apps (or web Browser Plugins) using different Internet Protocols that are not compatible.
The simplest thing is to get the Web Browser Plugin (However there can be issues with the Flash Plugin)
At one time Google used Flash to do Video Chats and it would seem their Plugin is very close to this part of Flash.
See the Known Issues and the "Google Talk Plugin Disables iSight On Mac" item.
Options
Use a Web Browser yourself with the Plugin.
Use a Flash Base Site such as MeBeam (Flash has to be enabled in your Browser and the instructions are simple on the page)
Try to find a Jingle capable Mac Jabber Client (app) ( I have not found one).

Color space…creating a book in My publisher….when I look at the share book pre print the colors are all dulled out. I work in pro photo rgb in LR and PS ….My Pub is sRGB….where is the problem?
I finally got to my references. This had to do with "soft proofing" on screen in Photoshop.
So this may not help you at all. Re: Strange sRGB soft-proofing behavior So go ahead and leave that setting at Basic.
However there is a Color Management forum that you also go to and see if anyone has answers for your particular problem.
Here is the link: Color management
I hope they can help you out.

Hi! I updated my Mozilla Firefox to new version(Mac OS X), and now in some pages all texts is in '''bold'''. Where is the problem? Thanks!
Did you do a font check in Font Book?
Be aware that a default encoding of UTF-16 as shows in your screenshot may lead to problems.<br />
The default is Western (ISO-8859-1) and you should change the default encoding to that setting unless you have changed that deliberately to UTF-16 for specific web pages, but even in that case it is better to make the change via View > Character Encoding or set Auto-Detect to Universal or UTF-16. -

Firefox browser keeps going into not responding mode and the firefox experts continue to "not respond" to the problem. Firefox 11.0 and W7. When will you respond??
Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works find in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. you can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
Now when Firefox hangs, is this randomly, on specific websites, etc.? You can also read [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-hangs https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox-hangs] -
