Certain Websites Cause Problems

I recently migrated a user account from my G4 Mac Mini to a new MacBook. It has been working great; however, certain websites no longer work in Firefox on the mac.
One example is this website: http://homes.timesunion.com/sales/SearchIndex.asp
It no longer allows one to log in, stating an error code. This doesn't occur in Safari.
Another website has a form on it. After selecting one of the options and pressing next (or whatever the button says), it states the that Browser has made an invalid request. (Doesn't happen in Safari)
Why does this occur with these websites (Firefox 2...fully upgraded, but copied from my mini, OS X 10.5.1, MacBook Late 2007)?
Thanks,
Shniba

Can you start by giving us the troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having problems. This is an essential step in troubleshooting. 
*Click the Firefox button at the top left, then click the ''Help'' menu and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the sub-menu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select ''Troubleshooting Information'' from the menu.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
P.S. Dropped myself from thread. Someone else feel free to solve.

Certain websited cause Firefox to terminate. What can I do to fix this? Thanks

Certain web sites, when I navigate to them, cause Firefox to terminate. I have had problems with MSN and also CNN, and a newspaper site? What causes this and how can I remedy this? Thank you.

I think it is Adobe Reader XI and I have Windows 8. It has happened with a couple different PDF files. I have experienced the problem when trying to use the "draw a circle" tool as well as the "add text callout" - I have drawn some circles without a problem. Sometimes what happens is I try to draw the circle (or the other one), and nothing happens, it is as if the page doesn't realize I clicked or dragged the mouse. Then when I try clicking somewhere else in Adobe Reader it is frozen/"not responding" and I have to force close the program. When I open it again it tries to restore the changes that I had made since the last time I saved but it doesn't always recover it. I have not tried the repair option - what is that?

[n95 v31.0.017]Certain mp3s cause problems

With latest fw (31.0.17) I noticed that music player many times stall while checking
for new music.
First I didn't know why, I even reuploaded same firmware, but the problem persisted.
After extensive testing, I found out that certain mp3s do that. They are however perfectly playable by
other players (e.g. winamp, amarok, corePlayer...), but seems to cause multiple problems on the phone.
Problematic file to test:
http://www.mediafire.com/?mpoxfexbzgn
Upload this file with vfat safe chars (the problem is not in the filename, I have other music tracks that do the same and doesn't contain special chars like this one).
Possible steps to reproduce problems:
1 - stalled file manager:
- open file manager
- browse to uploaded file
- open it
File manager should remain half-blank, you have to kill it.
2 - stalled music player
- open music player
- from first screen choose Options → Refresh
Music player will endlessly scan for new music.
I never had problems with older firmware, I urge nokia to fix this ugly bug.

I don't have an N95, but I suspect it is the id3 tags causing the problem. They are encoded using ID3 v2.4, which isn't well supported on hardware players. As you list Amarok in the list of players you've tried successful I'm going to assume it is the culprit, as editing tags with Amarok always results in v2.4 being used. This behavior is hardcoded, with no user configurable way to change it.
I've run into the exact same problem with my current mp3 device, and as it seems you run Linux, I can suggest installing kid3 (KDE is not necessary). It has a 1-click feature to convert v2.4 tags into v2.3, which has far wider support amongst hardware players. You'll find similar software to kid3 for Windows and OSX if Linux isn't your bag, but you will have to hunt for that yourself

Esetnod32 antivirus blocks certain websites causing MFF to crash

I use ESET NOD32 antivirus and it blocks certain URL's causing MFF to crash. If I disable ESET web access protection all web sites load ok. This only started in the last few months. Below is one of many crash ID'd
== Crash ID(s) ==

Hello Kirk.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.
If it doesn't help, you may want to consider asking ESET about what they're doing with Firefox...

Why are certain websites causing my mac to crash?

I have recently just purchased my first mac and on the whole am very happy with it. However when browsing the internet certain web pages cause my mac to become unresponsive. All my software is up to date. The problem occurs when i'm using safari and so far it's just 4OD (channel4.com) and myspace that have caused this problem. The mouse either freezes completely or turns into the spinning colour wheel and the keyboard shortcut for force quit does not work. I cannot use the dashboard as it doesn't appear even if I can move the mouse over to its area and the time in the top right corner of the screen stops too. All i can do is hold down the power key and then reboot the whole thing. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? Also I looked at the crash reports to see what they said and there aren't even any there!

Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player:

Cannot acces certain website

Hey I'v got this weird problem, I can't connect to a certain website.
the problem appeared propably 1-3 days ago (not entirely certain) without me actually changing any settings whatsoever. Im connected to the internet by using a android phone with a wifi hotspot connected to my mbp.
I am entirely certain the website is up and I should not have a ip ban as I'v been able to connect to the website with my phone.
Earlier today I exchanged a few posts with a guy on a forum that had the exact same problem and the same computer as I (late 2011).
and he too was certain that he had not made any changes to any settings lately. and he was able to connect to the site with a different computer.
and with the problem mac using tor.
so the problem seems to be with my (and his) mac.
I opened the network utility and pinged and tracked the site. Here are the logs:

Activity icon always running on certain websites

When viewing certain websites in Safari (such as AllThingsD) the Activiy icon is always spinning. If I switch to another tab, the icon will disappear after a few seconds, but will return as soon as I switch back to the offending websites. Is there some kind of information being constantly pulled from my ipad? Why do only certain websites cause this? I'm concerned about what the sites are doing and how it affects my battery drain, since the activity is continuous.
Thanks in advance :-)
CJ

Appears there's another thread on this issue. Search for the thread "Iphone 5s Network activity icon always on" for discussion.

The product images on certain websites i go to on my ipad do not appear (ie. gap)? I never had this problem before...what could be causing this?

The product images on certain websites i go to on my ipad do not appear (ie. gap)? I never had this problem before...what could be causing this?

Thanks for your input however, what I don't understand is that some of the product images do appear on the site but not all images? The first 10 product pics appear but then, it's just the product descriptions after that with no images? I find it strange that it used to work on this particular site (mainly Gap and Old Navy) and now it doesn't? I do a lot of online shopping there so it's unfortunate. I contacted their online support and they said to download the Opera Mini App but that didn't work...I see even less images? If I visit the site on my Ipod Touch or my Macbook, I see all images, no problem? Not sure what the problem is?

Firefox cannot load certain websites and I've tried all suggested options to fix the problem.

I cannot load certain websites (my bank, some public/civic offices, etc.) on Firefox or Internet Explorer (I usually use Firefox) and have tried all the suggested options in Firefox Help to remedy this problem: clearing cache and cookies, making sure no proxy is selected, allowing cookies). How do I fix this? I use a broadband internet connection that is shared.

Start Firefox in 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).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

I have problems scrolling on certain website

I have the current firefox installed on my system...all of the sudden I can't scroll on certain websites....its sluggish and hangs...some sites are just fine...one site in particular is www.crocs.com as an example....Now when I use IE no problems what so ever....I have updated my mouse software uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and it still didn't fix it...Its more than just crocs that affects but some places I have no problems

Slow scrolling issues can be caused by fixed background images on web pages. 
A test can be to disable the colors for websites. 
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Colors > "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
If that works then see if you can find an update for your display driver.

The characters change depending on the website. I've tried disabling all extensions and plugins, reinstalling firefox and reinstalling java to no avail. The issue seems to be isolated to firefox, chrome is able to display the webpages without a problem. The problem occures following a malware in infection which would redirect goolgle searches in firefox. It was dealt with using Malwarebytes Anti-malware and by removing some entries from C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

Hi,
I tried everything above but to no avail. Windows firewall seemed to be allowing Firefox through without it actually being in the exception list. However, I did remove Firefox but this time removing all profile data too. Reinstalling Firefox seemed to make the websites work. However I then restored my bookmarks, and suddenly the websites stopped functioning again, displaying the random string of characters. Could this be an issue with my bookmarks?

Problem loading certain websites

For the past year or so, my iMac has (running Mac OS X 10.5.8) has been giving me trouble when it comes to loading certain websites. The reason why I think it's my computer as opposed to my browser or my internet connection is because these websites will load on other computers connected to the wireless network in my home, and because the problem persists with any browser I attempt to use - I've tried Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari and none of them load these websites. (Also, they load fine when I'm on the internet via my iPod touch.)
The websites in question include about.com, ehow.com, and any website with a .me extension. There are others, but those are the three that come to mind at the moment. When I try to go on about.com for example, the page simply does not load. There's not even an attempt to load the page. It's very frustrating because I see no reason why these websites shouldn't work.
I have tried clearing the caches, history and preferences for all browsers, as well as logging in as a different user on my computer and seeing if these websites worked - they didn't work, even as a different user. I was told it could be a problem with the .plist files, so I dragged all of them into the trash and tried loading these webpages, but it still didn't work. Does anyone know what else it could be? Also, I apologize if my description of the problem was unclear.

Some other things you can try:
1. Run Software Update (in the Apple Menu) and make sure you have all available Apple updates for OS X.
2. Go to Adobe.com and make sure you have the latest versions of Shockwave and Flash for your computer installed.
3. Go to System Preferences > Parental Controls and see if any restrictions have been established.
4. Go to System Preferences > Accounts and set up a new user account. Try using your browsers from this account. If they work, there is a problem with your "old" account. Next steps will depend on how much time and effort you're willing to devote to troubleshooting.
5. Power cycle your router and computer.
6. Go to System Preferences > Network. Highlight your router (assuming you're using a wireless connection) and select the "TCP/IP" panel. Click on the "Renew DHCP Lease" button.
