Cannot print any internet sites from Firefox but I can print from IE so I guess I will be back to using IE

I have been using Firefox for a long time and always update; however yesterday I noticed when I was on Amazon I could not print out confirmation. Went to various other sites, my bank, smart computing magazine, etc. and could not print. Got a message that said: Out of Paper, put paper in photo tray. I then went to IE and was able to print out anything I wanted. I always liked Firefox but I believe I have to change since I can't find an answer to my problem. Obviously my printer works if I can print when I use the IE browser. I notice other people have this problem also. I spend a lot of time searching on the internet.

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

Cannot print from computer but I can print wireless

I just connected this printer and I cannot print from my computer but I can print wireless from my phone.

Hello dfreed,
You can try some simple steps:
Power your printer off.
Unplug your router, and your modem.
Plug your modem in and allow it to power on fully.
Plug your router in and allow it to power on fully.
Power your printer on.
Refresh the HP ePrint Center site and verify that your printer has a status of "Connected" and "Ready".
Some internet providers' modems are not always the most friendly to power off and on, so I understand if you need to skip that step.
Please post again if any steps need any elaboration.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

I cannot print from firefox. I can print from open office. It seems to have something to do with when frames open because in IE, I can print a whole page, but when I try to use a print button embeded in a page or frame it does not work.

Cannot print from firefox at all.
In Internet Explorer, I was able to print by pushing the print button, but when opening a frame, like in mapquest, the embedded print button brings up an options window that has print frames options in it, but when hit OK in this box, a second error box comes up with a yellow exclamation point and nothing prints. I have a feeling that it is the same problem with both browsers, but would prefer using firefox. Can you help with this?

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

Current 3.6.3 version works fine on my laptop; however, when i download the update version, 3.6.4, it will download but i can't open any internet sites and firefox says it refuses the proxy server settings, which never changed during the download

when mozilla opens up automatically after download, the message that the proxy server settings are refused comes up on the opening mozilla screen. it also says it cannot recognize any websites that i try to load.

hello jlzibell, please go through the troubleshooting steps described at [[Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them]].

I can't print in firefox, but I can print in internet explorer

I've tried the prefs.js fix with no luck. Any suggestions on how I can fix modzilla so I can print within the browser?

Hi Bigggtommy, you wrote:
<blockquote>When I click print (top left) it says "an error occurred while printing"
</blockquote>
Do you mean you can't even call up the Print dialog from the File menu without getting an error, or is that after calling up the dialog and clicking OK?
When you select Print from the 3-bar menu, Firefox should call up Print Preview. So neither method is working for that.
It seems that Firefox is having a severe issue with reading some metrics from your printer driver or has some other setting or program problem.
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

For emails and I cannot now access my contacts thro Firefox but I can through Windows Explorer which I dont want to do.)

when I go into Xtra yahoo to send an email I cannot access my contacts. I could but now I cant. Telecom NZ cant fix it they said its a Mozilla problem

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
Incidentally, does the background (the purple color) look the same as the one in the screenshot when you access your Yahoo account? Yahoo has recently upgraded their mail program and it would appear that this is now the default color. If yours is a different color and you haven't modified it yourself, then the problem may possibly be related to the old version.

Can't log into a secure site with Firefox but I can with IE.

New computer acquired in August with Windows 7. I could access this site on my old machine under Windows XP and Firefox. I can access this site under IE on my new computer after I lowered the security threshold setting. I can find no such option for Firefox. I have tried clearing cookies, history, cache.

Solved for now. Went to Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption. Unchecked "Use TLS 1.0" I am now able to access my bank site.

HT2452 I am unable to print my photos ??? but i can print a "test" page without problems.

I am having problems trying to print photos on my IMAC, I can print a "test page" from printer without any problems and have been able to print pages off without problems??
when I try to print a photos my photo page comes out blank

This could be an issue with the size of the image you are printing and the printers available memory. Although your printer may support up to 64mb or more of data, you may be getting a size error.
This has occurred with many of the printers at the facility I work at and the only work around we have figured out thus far is to resize the document. This does reduce the quality of the image.
Quick question. Are you printing directly to the printer through its IP or are you printing through a print server?

Why do pdf files from some web sites download as aspx files, which I can't open from Firefox but I can in Internet Explorer?

I have tried downloading files which are supposed to be pdf but they download as aspx files. This doesn't happen if I use Internet Explorer and other pdfs from the same web site download without a problem.

To make a long story short, the server can send a preferred file name but isn't always programmed to do so. IE sniffs the beginning of the file and may override what is sent by the server; Firefox does not.
You can manually change the file extension when you save it (if you have Firefox set to ask you where to save) or you can rename it after it is saved.

At times I cannot download files from Firefox, but I can in IE

Hello,
My problem is twofold. Firstly at least once in three, I cannot download my attachments from gmail. What happens is the download window flashes up for a half second. Then it disappears. The file is NOT downloaded in the appropriate folder (or anywhere else), I have checked that.
Secondly, I am trying to listen to a radio station from the website below, but anytime I click on the Listen link, nothing happens except for the download window flashing for a half second. Then it disappears. I can only assume it is a .pls file as most internet radios have a file with such an extension for their playlist.
Both errors have been occuring since the update of 3.6.10.
Thanks for any insight.

The eLocity A7 tablet you have should technically work with the mobile Firefox.
It has Android 2.2 and most importantly a ARMv7 type of cpu, a NVIDIA Tegra II T20 and it has 512MB RAM.
mbrubeck who works on mobile Firefox has been recommending to try the Firefox 9 Beta's because it includes a new interface designed especially for Android tablets.

Current mobile Firefox 9.0 Beta 4 for Android (will need to manually update):
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/releases/9.0b4/android/multi/fennec-9.0b4.multi.eabi-arm.apk

Cannot print locally on OfficeJet Pro 8610, but I can print via web service

Hello,
I just installed an OfficeJet Pro 8610 with the downloaded install. I found my printer on the local wireless network and it connected. I cannot print anything from my Windows 8 HP laptop! I print from Word (or anywhere) and I says completed, but nothing prints. I can even see the print spool and it looks like it goes through, but nothing prints. I even tried direct USB connection with the same problem.
I can however print from the web using the ePrint (email to the printer), but that is impractical.
This is a weird problem.
I had a friend connect using their computer and it worked (wirelessly) and I can even print from my iPhone locally.
This points to the HP laptop - I have removed the printer, reinstalled the drivers, ran all windows updates, reboted (computer and printer) multiple times and the same problem persists.
Please help - very frustrated and ready to return the stupid printer.
This question was solved.

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!
Thank you so very much! Now I can get back to work!

I cannot view my Flash slideshows in Firefox but I can in Safari. Why?

I have created some Flash multimedia packages for my company. You can view them on a PC fine, and you can view them on a Mac, but only if you view them in Safari with a FlipMac4 WMV installed. But I cannot view in Firefox on my Mac and I do not understand why. Here is just one link to my Flash work: http://english.cri.cn/6566/2010/04/23/902s565015.htm
I cannot even see the Flash file, let alone play the audio or watch the slideshow.

That is because you only have code for IE with an ActiveX classid. Firefox ignore object tags with a cklass ID.
Use this code instead:
<pre><nowiki><object data=" /mmsource/flash/2010/04/23/heaven.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="OBJECT1" height="600" width="600"></nowiki></pre>

Cannot print any internet sites from Firefox but I can print from IE so I guess I will be back to using IE
