Cannot use .xps on Firefox. It works in Windows Explorer.

It seems I am unable to use .XPS on Firefoxs (Ver. 26). Firefox does not open the dialogue box that enables me to save the object. Instead I get the message that the 'Printer is not responding'!
When using Windows Explorer the process runs smoothly. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall FF. No change.

You can only use IE to display XPS files directly.
Firefox doesn't know about this file.

Links no longer work when I try to use Etsy in Firefox, but work fine in Explorer and Safari.

Until fairly recently, I had no trouble using Etsy in Firefox, but after the last update, I noticed that the site stopped working. I cannot click on any links, even the one that would allow me to log in. I originally thought the issue might be that I have OS X 10.5.8 on my computer, so the newest upgrade is not compatible, but I use a computer with Windows 7 at work and am having the same problem. Etsy works fine in both Explorer (at work) and in Safari (at home).

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
(WIN) Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. 
(MAC) Use Command+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
(WIN) orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced 
(MAC) Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
(WIN) right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" 
(ANY) Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If that doesn't make any difference, perhaps an add-on is at fault? A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
If the site works correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
Any change?

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? Thank You, Carol Roberts

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? If there is no way to do this, then I will have to use internet explorer so I hope you can help me with this. Thank You, Carol Roberts

Until Evernote updates their add-on to mark it compatible with Firefox 6, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to try re-enabling it yourself.
You can also downgrade to a previous version of Firefox from [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ this archive], but please be warned that some old versions of Firefox have known security bugs that are fixed in later versions.

I cannot use evernote on FireFox 4 due to when I try to save the page

I cannot use evernote on FireFox 4 due to when I try to save a page the Evernote login tab shows asking for my name and password. Unfortunately it will not take higher case letters which then will not let me log in using firefox. I can use Evernote on its own using my mac application.

Cannot use proxies in Firefox

It doesn't matter what proxy I use and where, Firefox won't allow me to use a proxy!!! I have tried hundreds of proxies, none of them will work in Firefox... I get the same error every time!!! the error reads

Try turing the Poxy off, someone sugguest this and it worked for me. Open firefox to the page where you get that message about refusing to connect. go to TOOLS then OPTIONS then ADVANCED then NETWORK tab then SETTINGS tab and select the options NO PROXY click OK and OK again. Now close firefox and reopen it and see if it works.

I cannot use JAVA with Firefox but I can use it with Internet Explorer WHY?

I have never had a problem when JAVA 7 was needed to use a program. Until now. Firefox will not allow me to use Java. I have to open Internet Explorer when working with any program and it works.

To protect Firefox users, Mozilla has blocked/disabled Java 7 u6 and below due to serious security flaws in the previous versions of Java 7. The security flaw would also apply to any other browser using the affected versions of Java 7. You can see the version of Java and whether it is disabled in Add-ons > Plugins; look for "Java Platform SE...". See - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p138
You can check your '''''enabled''''' Plugins at any time - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

Cannot use my old firefox sync account after reinstalling

After reinstalling firefox I can no longer use my old Firefox Sync account. I am told that there is no such account here https://accounts.firefox.com and I created a new account, with the same e-mail as my old account.
After some research I was able to find this https://account.services.mozilla.com/ in which I can login with my old account.
My problem now is that I want to retrieve the information that I had in my old sync and I can't find any way to do it.
Also, because I was experiencing severe performance problems using firefox, I deleted some folders in my machine related to Firefox (after uninstalling) including what seemed to be the profile location for firefox.
What is really important for me is: How do I retrieve my old Firefox Sync account data or synchronize it with the new Mozilla account?
Thanks,
V

hello, firefox 29 and upwards is using a different sync system which isn't compatible with accounts set-up in older versions.
in this case you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the prior firefox 28 version, disable automatic updating for the moment (in options > advanced > update), link it to the old sync account (with username, password & recovery key) and upgrade after you have successfully restored your data this way...

Alps Pointing device scrolls but won't go back or forward in Firefox, but works in Internet Explorer

Alps Pointing device touch pad, version 6.0.304.6, on my Toshiba Qosmio G25-AV513 running WinXP up to date , scrolls but won't go back or forward in Firefox, but fully works in Internet Explorer. I tried installing the latest driver available from Toshiba that can be found (the latter ones go to a web page that "can't be found"), 7.0.302.5 (Windows) Nov 2007, and when I run the update, nothing installs. I might try uninstalling the older one, and try again, but if it's not the driver, is there a patch or add-on in Firefox. Thanks.

Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox in general?
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

How can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in internet explorer

how can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in interne

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Inactive links on Firefox that work fine on Explorer

I am creating a landing page with links for English and Spanish.
The links work fine on Explorer, but are inactive on Firefox.
Can you check it out: http://mediamark.net/mls4panama/
Thanks

That code is in a DIV container that is hidden by the DIV container with the Flash objects.
I can make it work if I remove the .col-1 { float:left; } style rule. 
That container is placed higher by using a negative margin and Firefox doesn't seem to allow to click through that layer.

Firefox 22 worked on Windows 7 Home Premium but 23 does not

I am doing this in Windows Explorer since Firefox will not work. Compatablity show XP service pack 2. It does not list Windows 7 as a choice of a system that Firefox perviously worked with. If I try to go back to Firefox 22 it says it is not know who created the file. It is comming from public.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.
