Cannot write in Japanese characters on Firefox 7.0 using Mac OSX 10.5.8

Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 7.0, I cannot input Japanese characters into Firefox. I use a Mac OSX 10.5.8. I have my international settings such that I can write in this and other languages, but none come up other than English.
I can write in Japanese on Microsoft Word, Safari, and a slew of other applications, so it's definitely a Firefox issue.

The following worked for me:

"Problem: I had the same problem but with mac osx 10.5.8, Firefox 3.6.6 sometimes prints and sometimes does not, but the preview was always blank and I could not save to pdf file.
Solution: I downloaded Firefox 3.5.10, installed it on my desktop and opened it, tried print preview and it worked, quit Firefox 3.5.10 and ran 3.6.6 and voila! print preview is working fine and I can save to pdf fine.
I guess running 3.5.10 fixes the profile in a certain way. I have no idea how that happened but it worked."

I can't download and install Adobe Flashplayer on Firefox 26.0, using Mac OSX 10.9

I am trying to view videos and i am told to download the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer. However I cannot install the Flashplayer. Using Firefox 26.0, MacOSX 10.9 Mavericks. I know other users are having the same problem, and I have tried all the suggestions to correct the problem, to no avail. Is there an alternative to Adobe Flachplayer?

If you're having trouble downloading the installer file through the Adobe site maze, use this direct link instead:
* [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dmg install_flash_player_osx.dmg]
If you downloaded the file successfully but you're unable to install it, exactly what goes wrong? Have you tried everything on the following troubleshooting page?

Firefox 3.6.13 / Mac OSX.6.6, open-PDF-with Preview preference is not retained across sessions

Using Firefox 3.6.13 / Mac OSX 10.6.6, when I visit PDF-file links, the default ALWAYS reverts to saving file in downloads folder. I go to Firefox -> Preferences -> Applications -> Search PDF, set Open-With Preview (Default). Fo rhtat session of Firefox, everything is fine. The next time I sure Firefox it has forgotten this preference and I have to set it AGAIN. Every time I restart FF.
Although I had Adobe reader also installed, Adobe doesn't seem to be grabbing the PDF ring wither, it's always reverting to saving files. What's wrong?

Here's the fix. Dump Firefox 3.6.13 and Re-Install Firefox 3.5.16. Problem solved.

I'm using mac OSX 10.9.5 to write to NAS, I need to decrease the SMB max MTU size used by the OSX

I'm using mac OSX 10.9.5 to write to NAS, I need to decrease the SMB max MTU size used by the OSX

By default, OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Network MTU is set to 1500. If you perform the following at your SMB server, with an MTU of 1500, you will likely receive Message too long, and the SMB share takes a very long while to mount. This might be the contributing factor that has you believe it is an SMB MTU configuration issue.
ping -c 1 -D -s 1500 smbserver
If you dial the Network MTU down in a custom setting, the ping is immediate, and the SMB share mounts briskly. I tried values in small decrements until the message too long ceased.
ping -c 1 -D -s 1472 smbserver
I have done some searching and I do not see how, in Apple's current SMB implementation, that one can configure /etc/nsmb.conf to reduce SMB MTU size. See man nsmb.conf.

You need to give more details:
1. What version of Pages?
2. Where did you get the Greek dictionary from and exactly how did you install it?
3. Are you applying the language to your text?

Upgraded to firefox version 5 for Mac OSX 10, from version 3.6.18, now cannot open.pdf files from links . Only get blank page.

How can I find a PDF plug in for Firefox 5 running on Mac OSX (10.6)

I recently installed an Update and received a message that my PDF Plug In for Firefox would be disabled, but that when the Update had been installed the Plug in would be enabled. This has not happened.
I am running Firefox 5 on Mac OSX (10.6)

I've tried the download three times. It reports that installation was successful, but when I use Firefox I still get only an option to download the .pdf; I still can't read it within the browser. This fix WAS for Firefox 5.0, right?

Cannot print pdf using Mac OSX 10.9.3 and Reader XI 11.0.07

Please advise how to get Apple Mac OSX 10.9.3 withAdobe Reader XI 11.0.07 to print pdf. Able to open the pdf but on selecting print simply comes up with an Adobe red box saying "Cannot print pdf". I believe this is a common problem so expect Adobe have an answer.

Have had same problem with error message "Unable to convert postscript file". No response from Adobe. Even tried their technical support which said they offered no support for free products. Have found a couple go arounds but no fixes.

HT1338 I have a canon pixma ip4300 ij printer connected to my mac G5 with an intel processor, i cannot print cd labels since i changed from the old mac OSX processor.

I have a canon pixma ip4300 ij printer with software to print cd/dvd labels ,i origonaly had it connected to a mac with the old MAC OSX processor,since i have changed to a mac with MOUNTAIN LION the new intel processor i cannot print the cd labels, i have downloaded software update for the printer but it still reverts back to the old software , can anyone help thank you Allan R

So do you have any problems using the iP4300 to print from other applications on 10.8? Just trying to get an idea of your current setup.
I ask because Easy PhotoPrint (EPP) will use your existing printer - there is no need to create a new printer. So when you open the software and select to make a Disc Label, when you get to Step 4 - Print Settings, the software looks at your existing printer setup to check that you have a printer that will support CD/DVD printing (not all models of Canon inkjet support this).
So with regards to the problem connecting to the iP4300, is the software failing to locate a supporting printer? Can you give me a bit more info as to what is happening when you attempt to print a CD/DVD from EPP?

I am having trouble with replacing my old Firefox version 3.6.3 with the new 9.0 version on my Macbook. I have it downloaded as a dmg file, but I keep getting a message that the opertion cannot be completed because the item Firefox is in use...HELP!

After having the issue with my photos being blocked on Facebook, I was told I needed to upgrade to the newest version of Firefox and that the version I am currently using (3.6.3) is no longer supported with security updates. I have tried to follow the steps in the upgrade process through Firefox itself, but have been unable to do it...I would love step by step instructions to walk me through it as I don't know what I am doing wrong.'''bold text'''

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Cannot link through an upload webpage with Internet Explorer using MAC desktop

Cannot access an upload webpage to upload documents through Internet Explorer using Firefox through my MAC desktop.
Tried add on IE Tab but not permitted through Firefox 8.0.1

Hi,
Please try this: '''Tools''' (or '''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Applications'''. Look for or start typing '''mailto''' in the search box and for the '''Action''' change it to the desired mail client (the application that opens up in Explorer) if the value is different.

How to close preferences box properly in Firefox 4.0 for Mac OSX?

Whenever I try to close preferences box in Firefox 4.0; it did not close completely but instead minimized into a small blank box at upper left corner and topped on the desktop and existing windows. It cannot be removed or dragged around. Only way to remove that annoying little blank box is to quit Firefox entirely and restart again.

Hi jmel-
I would recommend contacting the support department at RealVue regarding their compatibility with your Browser/OS set up. As they are not a supported Firefox plugin [meaning we don't provide the link or plugin], there isn't anything we can do to make it install correctly.
If the plugin is installed, but is not working correctly, you might check out this article on troubleshooting audio video issues with Firefox:
[[Video or audio does not play]]
Hope that helps.
