Animations won't preview in Firefox

Animations won't preview in Firefox but work fine in Chrome and IE.
I have little or no developer experience so please don't ask me about
servers or technical stuff. I like edge and it's usability as I am very familiar
with the Adobe products interface but it's no good to me if my work falls
down because I can't get it to work in Firefox.

OK...I have created a temporary muse file and imported my edge animation,
The name of the temporary site is "rohtemp.businesscatalyst.com"
Please have a look at it in Chrome, Firefox and IE.
The interesting thing is this. The animation works in both chrome and Internet explorer, however,
the correct animation is the one in chrome. You will see there are a few wheels rotating with a green color
moving from one to the other. The wheels have a hidden linetype, but it changes to dots in chrome.
Having seen this, it leads me to think that the animation is also working fine in firefox. What is happening
is that the hidden line has become solid which gives the impression that the wheels aren't rotating.
The color green is moving from wheel to wheel as it should.
So, to conclude, what we have is actually a linetype issue/problem and not an animation problem.
The various browsers are inserting whatever linetype is most compatible for it's own situation.
Any ideas as to how to get around this one ?

Dreamweaver pages won't preview in Firefox since last update (3.6.13); Firefox opens blank page only. I am running OS 10.4.11 on iMac G5.

Previously both Firefox and Safari would display web pages created in Dreamweaver (MX). Dreamweaver is set up to preview by default in Safari (F12) and, using (F12) and the Command modifier key, in Firefox. Now the preview works only in Safari. Trying to preview in Firefox results in Firefox opening, if it wasn't already running, but only a blank page displays.

That didn't work. The problem is now on both accounts
That's an indication the startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repariing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

Why won't PDFs won't preview in Firefox 36.0? (OS10.9.5)

Since updating to Firefox 36.0 (OS 10.9.5), PDFs no longer preview in Firefox: I'm prompted to download and save them -- even though in Firefox Preferences, the default selection reads: Preview in Firefox. Help, please.

Sorry, but this explanation explains nothing. Accessing the about:config page is easy. But all the passive voice bullets about what can be modified, reset, etc. don't give a clue of what '''should''' be done to make the PDF Viewer work. Isn't there a way to communicate that to those of use who don't speak technical jargon? The last bullet point is particularly impenetrable. Sorry to seem dense, but I'm actually a science writer, and a pretty well-known one. My job is to take highly technical information and jargon and put it into language that the rest of us can understand. To do that, I have to ask a lot of questions until I understand. So far here, I don't. Thanks -- AW

Updated to 2014.1.1 now animation won't preview

Hi,
I just updated to Edge 2014.1.1 and while it seems to have fixed some bugs I was experiencing (previously Edge was having trouble saving), it's now having trouble previewing my animation. It's a large and complicated file, but whereas before it played fine, now when I click "Preview In Browser" it loads up a choppy, slow-moving, more-or-less-static image. I've tried previewing it in both Chrome and Safari and it works in neither. I would like to keep using this updated version of Edge (it had been really frustrating to save before) but I need to be able to preview my animation as I work on.
Thanks for any help.
-Adam

Thanks very much for the response. However, it was working in Chrome just fine before I made the update to 2014.1.1, so I don't know what sort of restrictions would have come into effect all of a sudden. It was also previously working fine on Safari.
I've read some older threads about animations maxing out browsers and devices (here and here). My project is large, but again it was previewing without any problems on 2014.0.1, so I'm hoping that's not the issue.
It's really important that I be able to preview my project while working on it, so if there was a way to do that and use 2014.1.1 that would be ideal.

Problem with CSS styles and Previewing in Firefox

Hello,
I recently rebooted my Mac OS X system (leopard) and reinstalled Adobe CS3. Before this I had virtually no problems with Dreamweaver and everything was running smoothly. However, now whenever I preview my pages in Safari, the CSS code is completely mangled.
Also, my site won't preview in Firefox unless I close any existing tabs and exit Firefox completely. I have no idea why these problems are occurring, but I have pasted the code below so any advice would be extemely helpful.

hey there,
thanks so much for the insight on the firefox issue. hopefully they fix that soon.
as for the css, i do have a screenshot of what's happening. the background image seems to repeat after the navigation bar instead of keeping the transparent background. it's extremely odd and i've never seen it before. it can be seen in the attached photo.
thanks again for your help,

Dreamweaver won't preview swf in firefox

So I created a simple banner that sits at the top of my page in Flash CS3, exported it as a SWF and then went into Dreamweaver (Also CS3) and went Insert>Media>Shockwave, and embedded the swf file in to a a set of divs.
When I preview in firefox, there is a blank space where the swf should be, and in Internet explorer there is simply a white box. I'm sure there's a simple enough solution, but unfortunately i'm not qualified enough to figure it out myself. If it helps, I'm running Flash player 10, on XP.
Also; the attributes of the div in css are 1024px wide, 255px long and the margin in set to auto. The swf file is 800x255, so I don't think it's an issue with the size!
Thanks, Dan

Hi
Yes you can create a div within a div to do this, just remember that the flash swf will 'rise to the top' of the image place behind it, (should not be a problem in this case as that is what you wish).

CS3 won't preview Firefox

I have Dreamweaver CS3 running on MacOS 10.6.2 and can't preview in Firefox 3.6. Is this known? I have looked but not found an answer. Must I upgrade to CS4? Preview works in Safari but not Firefox. Firefox does open. That is to say a Firefox window comes to the front but no preview happens. Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi Digibud,
It is indeed a known issue. Almost all Firefox 3.6 users encounter this one with Dreamweaver (all versions).
The only solution at this time is to downgrade to Firefox 3.5.8. You can download it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html?from=sfx&uid=300882&t=443
Hope this helps,

"Preview in Firefox" for pdf web pages but not for file links ?

Hi,
I like the preview pdf in Firefox feature but I seem to be having a bit of a problem with it.
In options>applications I have the pdf entry set to preview in Firefox and when I click a link to pdf webpages they load in Firefox just fine.
The problem seems to be with download links to pdf files. When I click a link to a pdf file the only options are to save the file, open with my pdf viewer (Foxit Reader) or other. Preview with Firefox is not an option any more.
I've been trying everything to get that option back.
I know I have seen it there before but I've no idea how it disappeared.
Any suggestions?

The build-in PDF Viewer only works for files that are send as application/pdf and not for other MIME types.<br />
So it won't work for links that open a download dialog and you would need an extension to open such a file as application/pdf.

Powerpoint animation won't work automatically in captivate

Hello. I imported a PowerPoint presentation into Adobe Captivate 7 and the animation won't work unless I hit the play button every time to make each individual piece of animation work. How can I get the animation to play automatically and then have the user click to the next slide. I'm working in Windows 8.1. Thanks.
David

Hi There,
Greetings from Adobe.
In PowerPoint , when you select an object on which you applied an animation then at top menu bar you have to change from On Click to With Previous or After Previous and save the presentation.
Then imported into Captivate and while importing please make sure you select automatically under Advanced and check High Fidelity option. Then preview the project and it will play the animation automatically.
Regards,
Ajit

Flash 'test movie' animation won't play until refresh screen.

Suddenly, the flash animation won't play until I refresh the screen, in test movie. What's gone wrong? Has worked as it should until last night. Now, when I create a new flash file, the animation doesn't play until I refresh the screen. Then it works fine. It also plays the other swfs fine.

Thanks for the fast response. I appreciate it, Meishak.
I remember saving everything. I have the file. I go to File
>> Open >> I select the file I want>> Target file
DOES OPEN... but only in preview. I popup opens up and plays the
movie. But I cannot, to the best of my understanding (student
newbie advert. major) open it to where I can edit timeline and
stage and whatnot. I used to be able to. It is saved. It does open.
But just not to be altered... is the best way I could describe it.
I am assuming that maybe there is some type of "open as..." setting
somewhere and it just have it on "always open as preview."
I don't know... I have googled every troubleshot wordphase
under the sun and nothing. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Viewing animated gifs in preview

Anyway to view animated gifs in preview, or is there just some "play" or "animate" button i'm just not seeing?

The Tiger version of Preview was supposed to work better with animated gifs than the Panther version. Unfortunately instead of improving it they broke something and it doesn't work at all. Thus far no fix has come out in the Tiger updates. Send Apple feedback:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
The more people who complain the more likely it is to get fixed.

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?
My coworkers and I are not seeing a animation in the preview pane in Adobe Bridge CS6 even when clicking the play button in the preview window. However, we do see a graphic of the first frame and one person sees 1 frame when clicking play and one other frame and then the animation stops, however, that is not the complete animation.
I'm using Windows 7 32 bit
My coworkers are using a mac.
One coworker has apple OS Mountain Lion with a Intel Quad-Core Xeon – 64 bit system.
Is this fixable or in the works as a patch? Otherwise we have to open these docs in a browser in order to view them properly.

I've just come to the realization that some animated gifs do play fine and others do not. A coworker of mine suggests that if it's an animation made via Adobe Photoshop, it'll work in bridge but will not if it's made using something else.
