Certain site forms cannot be used in Firefox unless Internet Explorer is running in background

Sites such as Wells Fargos Online Banking BillPay system, the British Thetre Company's website http://www.digitaltheatre.com.
In the later, I can not use the controls to change currency, for example. If I run IE, then close it, I can see the drop-down arrow, but can't change anything, I'm just clicking text.
I don't surf the internet more. But, there HAVE to be other sites out there.
In the case of Wells Fargo, they said they only support 3.X to 6.X. Isn't that a little weird. The major overhall came before 6.

more system details took quite some space....
anyways regarding your question,
try doing a clean reinstall....
and disable unnecessary addons and plugins......

  • Why do I see two different versions of a website on Firefox and Internet Explorer? The version on Firefox is an older version of the website.

    I use Intuit to maintain a website. After I update the website, Firefox continues to display the previous version while the revised version is displayed on Internet Explorer. I have tried using both Firefox and Internet Explorer when I revise the website, but that does not appear to make any difference. The version on Firefox usually updates to the new version with in a day or two, but the change on Internet Explorer is immediate.

    Try clearing your browser cache.

  • With or without add-ons, and after removing/reloading Firefox, some sites behave badly, though they're fine with Internet Explorer.

    The computer in question is running Vista. With Firefox 8, some websites, e.g. Whitepages.com, livefreept.com, behave badly. Spedifically, they require the user to click on tabs. But the tabs don't appear at all. I upgraded to Firefox 10, to no effect. The sites work fine on this same computer with Internet Explorer, and on both our XP and Windows 7 computers using older older versions of Firefox. All three are using the same Norton Internet Security program, with the same settings. Starting in safe mode, with no add-ons has no effect. Help!

    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

  • Firefox wont load background image on some sites but internet explore will load the background

    i downloaded firefox awhile ago worked perfectly fine then all a sudden it wont load facebook background images the homepage of facebook loads background image but when i log in it wont load background image but when i try internet explorer it loads the background images fine i checked every setting redownloaded everyhing nothing fix's it tho

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains (e,g, sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net).
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

    Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About 2-3 days ago ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)

    I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
    In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
    Here is a run-down of my process:
    0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
    1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    ( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
    2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
    3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
    Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
    4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
    5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
    Hope this helps.

  • Firefox and Internet Explorer crashes on startup

    Firefox and Internet Explorer both crash at startup. I have tried resetting Firefox but it still crashes. I click on the details box and nothing happens. They will both work fine when I boot up Windows in safe mode.

  • MOUSE_DOWN & MOUSE_UP events behaving strangely in firefox and internet explorer w/low framerate

    Basically what I'm seeing is that in Firefox and Internet Explorer only, using the latest flash plugins for each, when the framerate in my game drops due to a large number of display objects on screen (not unexpected behavior), MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP events seem to get queued up (this probably happens whether the framerate is low or not, but it doesn't have any adverse effects when the framerate is high). Flash will try to process every click that occurs, even though it can take up to several seconds. So, for example, if the user clicks the mouse 20 times in a second, but the framerate is running at around 5 fps, the game will be reacting to those clicks for around 3-5 seconds. It doesn't ignore any of them. This causes some strage behavior in our game and is not desirable. In the standalone flash player, and in Chrome browser, a large number of clicks in a short time frame does not have the same behavior. It seems to treat the most recent click with some priority, so it will cancel out a previous click. A single click in our game will cause an object to generate a path and move to the point on screen which was clicked (think point-and-click to move a walking 2D character).
    Since this behavior is so different in 2 browsers, could have something to do with how it's embedded, like the wmode parameter? That seems to be the only idea that comes up searching on Google. Is there some way in my code that I can forcibly make a new mouse_down get processed right away instead of waiting for previous events to complete?

    Ya, the problem isn't that events are coming in out of order, but rather they are somehow getting triggered at an unacceptably slow rate. It's not that the events are complicated. They merely set a boolean _isMouseDown to true and false (for MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP, respectively). But if I rapidly click, and then let go of the mouse, I'll see that boolean get set true,false,true,false,etc for a few seconds after I let go of the mouse. Why does this delay exist in Firefox and IE but not Chrome or the standalone player? It's almost as if Chrome and the standalone player let events be in their own thread while IE and Firefox, the events get held up, maybe because there is only one thread to use?

  • I added Firefox to Internet Explorer. Now both browsers give me outdated pages ofonline magazines

    I installed firefox 3 days ago and use it concurrently with Internet Explorer. Both browsers deliver outdated pages of Spiegel-Online, but of different dates. After diskcleanup Internet Explorer yielded today's page. Firefox still gives me yesterdays page of Spiegel Oonline. Is this a problem of my computer, the browsers or the provider? What can I do?

    ''I have outdated pages, 2-3 days old, in Firefox and Internet Explorer''
    I turn off automatic updating of webpages myself. You can clear cache now with Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > clear now
    To clear cache at the end of your Firefox session, and that is the ONLY thing I allow clearing history to clear (Tools -> options -> Privacy), make sure you are not clearing any of your web history, passwords, cookies etc in "Settings for Clearing History" when you allow clearing of history
    * http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
    BTW you can do the same in in Internet Explorer and other browsers as well. In Firefox I move the cache to outside of the profile, I don't like backing it up.

  • What is the difference between Firefox and Internet Explorer?

    I'm an older woman and it's hard for me to keep up with all the new technology these days. Can someone please explain the difference between Firefox and Internet Explorer? Which one is better to use? Many thanks for your help.

    Firefox, Chrome and Internet explorer are all types of Browser; for use (mainly) on the internet, other modern browsers are Safari & Opera.
    Just to confuse things slightly, Windows Explorer, is the name of the software that is usually used to look at content (files & folders) on Windows PCs.

  • Try to open mozilla firefox but internet explorer opens instead.

    Everytime I try to open mozilla firefox, my Internet Explorer opens instead. I uninstalled firefox and downloaded it again, but it doesn't work. What can I do to fix my problem?

    Possibly you are trying to open Firefox indirectly by selecting some link or HTML item, rather than using Firefox's start icon, or program shortcut.
    By default on Windows IE is the chosen browser for many actions and you will need to change that if you wish Firefox to be the browser of default choice.
    * See [[Make Firefox your default browser]]
    * Use '''MenuButton {Three Bar Icon) -> Options {Cog Icon) -> [Make Firefox My Default Browser]'''

  • What other browser can I get besides Firefox or Internet Explorer?

    For the past 10 revisions/updates FireFox has gotten buggier and buggier and crashes more and more. So I am looking for an alternative browser besides the pieces of crap FireFox and Internet Explorer. Any ideas?

    Hi tforsberg, obviously Firefox behaves differently on your system(s) than on mine, even though we use the same OS.
    Were you able to find any crash IDs?
    To track down the extra Flash DLL, could you try the following: type or paste '''about:plugins''' in the address bar and press Enter. You can use Find (Ctrl+f) and search for '''npswf''' to find the Flash plugin(s) on the page. The default location is:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    Can you track down Flash 12 to that or a different location?
    Regarding session restore, you get the best results when you exit Firefox using the menu. Either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * File menu > Exit
    If you exit Firefox by closing windows individually, or by right-clicking Firefox on the task bar and choosing Close All Windows, you might not be able to recover more than 3 or 4 windows. You can increase the number of closed windows that can be restored by changing a setting:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) You can raise these values to store more closed window and closed tab history (which then can be restored from the History menu):
    * browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo (number of closed windows remembered; default is 3)
    * browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo (number of closed tabs remembered, per window; default is 10)

  • Jumpy scrowl control with mouse.Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer. Problem fixed when I updated to 6. 0.2 but problems returned after about a week.. 0.2

    Jumpy scroll wheel control with mouse. Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer.Even pushing the scroll wheel and trying to adjust for a smooth easy scroll the text stops and starts. Problem fixed itself when I updated to 6. 0.2 from an older version but the problem returned after about a week.. The problems go away when I go to web site and scroll but is back when I return to my home page (mozilla firefox)

    Good post, and glad to hear you had a solid transition. Mine went well too, though I think I beat the rush.
    It's worth noting that the vast and overwhelming majority of headaches people were experiencing were related to download and activation servers (as well as credit check servers for some mobile carriers) being crushed and overwhelmed.
    To give you an idea of just how crushed, here are some numbers. In the last year, something in the neighborhood of 8 million iPhones have been sold. That's just shy of 22,000 per day. So the typical traffic is around 22,000 times a day, someone is hitting the server for update/activation.
    This weekend, Apple sold 1 million iPhones. In other words, 333,333 phones per day. Holy crap!
    As if that wasn't enough, there are 8 million of us out there with the first generation iPhone. Not only do we need to download the new firmware, but we have to install it. The installation process requires hitting the activation server again, to validate the phone. Mind you, not everybody upgraded this weekend, but a few million did. For the sake of argument, we'll assume that's 1 million a day. So, instead of the normall traffic of 22K phones a day, those activation servers got SLAMMED with 1.33 million activations per day.
    It ***** that some people had delays and hiccups and a hard time and everything, but completely understandable. With luck things will run more smoothly from here on out.
