Can't open AOL Mail with Firefox, but can open AOL website. Have to use Internet Exp. to get into mail. Help!

Have always been able to get into AOL Mail, until recently; last 2 - 3 days. Can get into AOL website, just not mail. No problem with any other websites. Have to get to mail using Internet Explorer, and I hate Internet Exp. What has happened and how do I fix it? I tried reloading Mozilla Firefox, but that did not help.

Hi--I tried your suggestion and no dice. A window came up with the following:The item 'Firefox.exe' that has this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete?
Another window said 'C:Program files (x86) Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.
I have no clue as to what that means. I did delete the shortcut.
Finally went into our Kaspersky virus protection and found Firefox is in quarantine and that is probably why I am unable to uninstall and reinstall.
Any ideas????
Thanks, Ginny

Can not load yahoo mail with Firefox but can with internet explorer

I have been getting: connection refused when trying to load yahoo mail from my firefox browser, but when I use internet explorer I can open my yahoo mail.

I use Earthlink mailbox, and I want my email links to open with Firefox, but they open with Internet Explorer; how to fix?

I am using Windows XP 2002 operating system; Earthlink mailbox program for email with AT&T Broadband.
I want to have Firefox as my default browser, but my email links open with Internet Explorer. I have followed the Firefox help page to set Firefox as my browser, but the problem remains.
Do you know how to fix this? Is it a problem with Earthlink?

I have Microsoft Outlook also with Firefox and can open just about every link, url, company page, etc via the email links. First, make sure you have noted the email as NOT JUNK so that the links are activated by Outlook. Second, Firefox needs to your default browser for the links to open in Firefox rather than IE. There are some links from Microsoft that may ignore the default and open in IE but not all anymore. I have a Sony laptop which ignores the default browser and opens all of its support information from its VAIO software loaded on the computer in IE. Besides that though, over 95% of my items will open in my default brwser selection, which is currently Firefox.
Go to this link to make sure Firefox is your default browser.

Or this link to make any browswer of your choice the default.

Haven't been able to log in to AOL email via FireFox since Friday....have to use Google

Not sure what is going on with AOL email and FireFox, but I have not been able to access my AOL email account via FireFox since Friday. I know others are having the same issue. I have no problem if I use Google.

Unable to read web mail with talktalk but can with internet explorer

I updated to fire fox 4 and since I am unable to read my web mail from my talk talk account. When I try to get into my inbox it tells me I have undefined new mail. I can access my email with internet explorer but not firefox.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* 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 the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Can't post pics on forum with firefox but can with Internet explorer

I can't post pictures/images on a certain forum when using firefox but when using Internet explorer on the same forum it works. Any solutions please?

Hi Meghraj, Thank you for your reply! I am afraid a screenshot will not reveal much. When I click on "add file" on the forum to post a pic it opens my files and once I select my file that I want to post and click on "open" it goes back to the forum page but the file is not there. When I do this same action with Internet explorer it works. But I don't really use internet explorer and would like to use firefox rather. A few members on the forum using firefox have the exact same problem. Any ideas? Thank you! :)

Can't navigate the Ryanair website with Firefox but can with Internet Explore

My IP is Sky.com. Their website is not displaying correctly because the search box does not move to the left and anything typed into it redicts back to the home page. Also the ryanair website displays but does not allow one to navigate the whole website. None of these errors occur when using Internet Explorer. This problem only occured today.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Can't get msn or hotmail with firefox but can with explorer,always used firefox before-what's up?

started in safe mode but still can not get msn or my hotmail, just comes up with a blank page.Removed all cookies and cache and all add-ons are off. Removed foxfire and reinstalled to no avail. Have done everything all can think of but no way it will work yet if I go to Explorers the damn thing works.Any ideas?????

Sorry you are having problems.
Both sites work ok for me using Firefox. That comment may not make you feel good but along with the fact that both sites work for you on IE it does tend to point to something rather specific on your computer affecting firefox.
I do notice quite a few questions recently about this. In many cases clearing the cache or just a Ctrl+F5 reload will help, along with clearing the cookies for that site.
*you will already have seen [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer#w_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site ]]_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site
I suppose malware could be the cause as this reply said [/questions/944943#answer-413484] and for a other troubleshooting advice please have a look at suggestions in this short [/questions/952206 thread]
Something you should try as an elimination step is booting with the F8 key into Windows Safe Mode with network support

Can't print from some sites visited with Firefox, but can print from same sites visited from IE.

From IE I can print emails from my Google email but not from Firefox. For some reason Firefox keeps changing my print settings and that prevents printing unless I manually change them back. Also I have had trouble printing from dailysudoku.com. I am running Windows 7 Home Edition on an HP laptop. I tried uninstalling Firefox and then reinstalling, but that didn't solve the problem.

No. This didn't work. And when I went to about:config I received a warning message that I might void the warranty if went there. And I should go there only if I knew what I was doing. If followed the instructions very carefully and reset the print settings as you suggested. I also got the following message:
Some users may need to reset all the print.printer preferences for a particular printer, if resetting this one master preference doesn't solve the problem.
Will I need to try to reset some of the other print.printer preferences besides print.printer_print? I'm a little nervous about doing something that could void my warranty if I don't know exactly what I'm doing.

Why can I not open Yahoo Mail in Firefox but can in IE?

I have recently updated my Firefox to 5.0. Now I cannot open my Yahoo mail box. The landing page downloads and I can see my email title, but when I click to open the email the link is dead. None of the features on the Yahoo mail page works.
Everything works fine on Internet Explorer.

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Check if it works without Add-ons.
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

WHY CAN'T I LOGIN TO MANY WEB SITE WITH FIREFOX BUT CAN WITH INTERNET EXLORER 8 AND GOOGLE CHROME

I just installed firefox 3.6.8 on a new computer, it worked fine for a few days but now I cannot login to several sites that require usernames & passwords. (citezens bank online, (chase freedom credit cards online) medco mail order prescripions online. etc. Some of the sites say that I must have java script enabled, but if I go to firefox tools/options/content it shows java script enabled. I can login fine with internet explorer 8 and google chrome. I have firefox 3.6.8 on my old computer that has dial up internet access and it works fine. On the citizens bank web page the words "login" appear in a box, but when I click on it nothing happens & no boxes for usename or password show up. on the medco login page no lotin related words appear. They do with IE8 & google chrome. On chase freedom the login boxes are there but when I enter my password, after a few seconds the password disappears & nothing happens. The other browsers work fine . I believe that on one of the sites there is a message about "scripting being necessary" I cannot find any info about scripting it I do a search for it.

Hello.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:

I can no longer access WEbkinz and ESPN on my MAC with Firefox but can with Safari

So far the trouble is with those two. I deleted Firefox and re-downloaded but no different.

You might try to see if you can restore your iWork documents from an earlier point in time by using Time Machine. To do this, Open Finder and navigate to “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents” (without the quotes) from the Go>Go to Folder menu. Then launch Time Machine, go back in time until you see your pages documents, then select them, click Restore and exit Time Machine. Then repeat this from "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents" to restore your Number documents.

Can't print from Mail or Firefox but can from CS2

When I try to print from Mail I get the 'Print - Error While Printing' error coming up. It doesn't matter which printer I print to and it even does the same thing if I try to make a PDF. If I print from Firefox I don't get an error but nothing happens. However, I can print fine from Creative Suite 2 so I wonder if it's only affecting native Intel apps maybe?
Anyway, I have tried rebuilding disk permissions and replacing libConverter.dylib with another copy, none of which makes any difference. Any ideas anyone?
2x2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Re the driver affecting pdf printing, the answer is no. The print to pdf uses internal processes and is not impacted by the vendors driver. So given that Rosetta was no help and Word is also failing, then it suggest that the core printing system is at fault. Although the ability to CS2 to print is a 'curve-ball'. The CS2 suite does things differently when it comes to printing but it still eventually uses the core printing system to get the file to the printer.
So, some things to try....
1. Install the 10.4.9 Combo update. If you did the sequential update from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9, then this update can fill missing holes.
2. Get Fixamac's Printer Setup Repair utility to see if it can identify any issues.
3. Get Gutenprint 5.0.0 and try adding a printer using one of these drivers.

In dveloping a web page as a new user to html, I can't open my file in Firefox but can in IE what is the difference in this HTML for Firefox?

I have a problem with the HTML documentation on all of my pages nothing will shows. I had a page developed ion 2006 that worked fine and but then none of the pages worked so I began to rewrite new pages as opposed to revising my old ones. Nothing is working and nothing will show up and the HTML language is all checked. I wrote a simple page to show one graphic and it still will not work. Am I missing something here at the beginning of each page? This happens to all people that try to view my page using Firefox. I am as you can guess a novice at this.
