Cannot click on news articles in Firefox

In Yahoo!Mail, links to news articles (for example, the Wall Street Journal) do nothing. I can open the email, but the links in the email to news articles do nothing. I have to load IE in order to make the links work.

Hi TylerDowner -
In response to that article I cleared the cache and deleted cookies, closed FF and then reopened. Now the links work. Thank you.

I cannot open any new tabs in Firefox on my PC. How can I correct this

hello g.hill250, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Cannot place a new Bookmark in Firefox 3.5.7 on my mac 10.5.8... how do I get this function to work?

On my G4 powerbook running 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.5.7 I cannot enter a new bookmark. I can access all bookmarks and edit but cannot add a new bookmark. Solution?
I would like to upgrade Firefox also but not sure what version of Firefox I can run on this computer.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Cannot syndicate back New Article record in SAP...

Hi Guru's
We are having a issue while syndicating back the New article record from MDM to SAP ..In SAP XML gets converted to ARTMAS Idoc....
System fails to post IDOC giving the error as "Error inserting in table MBEW"
I checked the error in detail and it gives the me following information in Error message:
" Error inserting in table MBEW
Message no. M3695
Diagnosis
When saving material master data, the system attempts to insert a new
     record in table MBEW. However, the table already contains a record at
     this point.
There is an inconsistency in the data base. Possible reasons for this
     are:
o   material master data has not been created with the transations
         defined for this purpose
o   number range intervals have been used up
Procedure
Contact your systems administrator immediately. "
Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue earlier and how did they fix it....
Regards
Vikrant M Kelkar

This sounds more like an ALE error than a MDM issue. However you can try a few things.
First, write down the IDoc number of the failed IDoc. Go to transaction WE19 and enter the IDoc number. Run that transaction and select the inbound function module that is configured in ALE. This will let you step through the process of processing the IDoc and see exactly where it fails.
You may also want to check your partner profile in WE20 and take a look at the parameters (inbound options) that are selected.
Also, you may want to post this on the XI forums, as they will be able to help you a bit more.

I cannot get downloaded new version of firefox to work.

I downloaded the new version of Firefox for my mac but it never prompts me to slide into the Applications Folder and therefore does not allow me use it.
When I open up gmail in Firefox, it tells me my firefox version is no longer supported but after I download new version, it never registers that it is upgraded.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

When a third party program creates a new Google calendar event using a http link I cannot click the save button in Firefox 9.01 or 10b2.

I use a TV listings program called DigiGuide. This has a script that opens a new Google Calendar event page in my browser for a specified TV program with all fields already completed. I then just have to click the SAVE button on the Google Calendar site to save the event - but since updating to 9.01 from 8.xx this button and others (Discard, Search) has no effect, although the cursor changes when over the button as if it recognised a link. Opening the same page in Chrome works fine. I have also noticed that Calendar's other buttons (e.g. next/previous period) can stop working on the main Calendar page, which I have as a pinned tab - in this event navigating away from Calendar and back again regains that functionality. The issue persists in Firefox 10b2.

Further investigation reveals this only happens when the event is created from within WP native calendar app and disappears when I make an edit to the event in any other calendar client including Google web. So a more appropriate description of the problem would be:
"Native calendar app keeps subtracting 1h off a Google calendar event on EVERY edit"
Create an event at 2013/07/17 15:00 in WP native calendar app. Result: Event shows as 2013/07/17 15:00 in the calendar app for a few seconds, then updates itself to 2013/07/17 14:00.
Edit the event title and save in WP native calendar app. Event time moves by -1h again to 2013/07/17 13:00.
Edit the event title in Google web calendar.
Subsequent edits in WP native calendar do not mess up the time any longer. If I fix the time to what I originally intended (2013/07/17 15:00) in WP native calendar app, it stays there and shows correctly in all previously mentioned calendar viewers.
I just learned that Lumia 925 was released with GDR2 update pre-installed. This update is only now being made generally available. If the issue is secific to the CalDAV implementation in GDR2 rather than specific to my phone only, this would make a lot of angry people. I hope I'm wrong on this though as it's an extremely frustrating problem.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbCDS/3.12.1.16460
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
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")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

I cannot open a new tab in Firefox. Help please.

the little tab appears to the right (with the + in center) but I click on it and nothing happens. I try also by going to File/New Tab and still nothing. A new tab opens when prompted while looking at stuff and I want to open information in a new tab...but does not open a blank one at all. when I try using Internet explorer it works.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

After updating from OSX 10.5 to 10.6 clicking on new links in firefox make the snapshot sound but no picture is taken

I updated from OSX leopard to snow leopard. When clicking on links to open new tabs or windows firefox seems to be activing a certain sound. The sound is exactly like the one used to indicate a snap shot of the screen has been taken. But as far as I can tell no picture is being taken, only that sound is being produced with every new tab or window generated by clicking on links. The sound is very annoying.

Disabling all ad-ons seems to get rid of the issue. After enabling the ad-ons one by one, the only one left to be enabled is iPhotoPhotocast 7.0. I believe this was causing the issue.

I am using Windows XP and cannot open a new tab in Firefox 17.0 Beta. Help?

The + sign at the end of the tab bar doesn't work.

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).

Cannot click on link in Firefox but can in IE

I cannot click on a link in Firefox, but I can in IE. The website is:
http://www.dailydealhunt.com/more-deals/huntresults.php?city=Boston&submit=Pull+the+Trigger++
The link I'm trying to click is the "Buy Now" image
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The first time I opened the site

For a description of web standards see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_standards
Microsoft, through Internet Explorer, have introduced many additions to the standards. Those additions are frequently not supported in other browsers. This means that web sites can be written with code that works in Internet Explorer but will not work in other browsers.
On the other hand, Firefox has been built to comply with web standards, so some sites will not work in Firefox if they are poorly written.
The daily deal hunt site does not follow web standards and has some code that does not work in a browser such as Firefox or Chrome. This will be something that the owners of the site will need to fix if they want their site to work in all browsers.

I can no longer open a new tab in firefox

I cannot open a new tab in firefox. If I click on a link, a new tab opens, but if I use the new tab button or control t nothing happens. I used to be able to open multiple tabs, but suddenly this changed. Can you tell my why?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

Yahoo website-the news feed doesn't scroll, it doesn't show 1-? articles and I cannot click on or to go to next five articles

On other computers in my house (not Windows 8), I can go to the Yahoo.com website and I can see the top news articles. It gives me a 1-# for how many articles there are. Then after a few seconds, the picture changes and it shows the next article. After the five articles are done, it scrolls and shows the next five. Or I can just click on the > button and go to the next articles. On my main (new) computer which has Windows 8 installed, I do not get the scroll and I cannot get to any articles other than the original top five that they show. I have a snapshot of it, but it doesn't look like there is anywhere here that I can upload it.

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download
