Configure websites after new firefox update

After getting the latest version of Firefox, I'll go to Facebook and the website configuration is all messed up, in html?? Looks like an outline for the website. Other pages I visit only use the middle of the page and the rest is blacked out/grey, and some clickable icons don't work. It almost looks like when you have "full screen" set for your widescreen t.v.
Please help me, I do NOT want to have to use Chrome!!

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    Question
    I am unable to open certain pages on sites. I have to switch over to IE because the new Firefox update is not accomodated on their websites! When will this be fixed... sites included Ameritrade, FAFSA, and others...

    First and foremost, you should update to 3.6.17 because the version you're running at the moment is insecure and exposes your system to attack. Update via '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.
    That may even fix the problem since several minor bugs were also fixed in later versions.
    Similarly, after updating, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those which are necessary.
    If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
    I didn't experience a problem myself accessing any of those sites you mentioned. See screenshot.

  • Silverlight (Netflix) not working after latest Firefox update

    After the latest Firefox update (34.0.5), I can't get Silverlight to work on Netflix. I get a black screen with no error codes.
    Netflix has a checklist of things to do if you get a black screen (https://help.netflix.com/en/node/95), and I've done all of these things several times -- manually removing Netflix cookies, uninstalling and reinstalling Silverlight (and I used a Fix-It app on the Microsoft website to troubleshoot), disabling ad blockers and virus software, and scanning for malware. I've done all of these things, and nothing has helped. I can play Netflix videos in Chrome, but I think there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to use my preferred browser, especially since I was able to do it without incident up until Wednesday night.
    I had two chats with Netflix tech support. Neither were much help, but the second person suggested that I uninstall Firefox entirely and then reinstall. I don't really want to do that. I'm not really that tech-y, and I'm afraid of losing my settings. Honestly, I would cancel Netflix before doing that.
    Has anybody else had this problem? Are there any OTHER workarounds or suggestions of what I can try to fix this problem? Also, is it possible to be prompted when there's a new Firefox update.. and not have it automatically updated without my permission? I can't, by any chance, roll back to the version when everything worked fine?

    <blockquote>
    So, it sounds like there's a compatibility problem. I didn't realize that Firefox accesses Silverlight in a whole different way. Do you think Firefox needs to be updated/patched to be able to work with the Silverlight plugin again, or does the plugin need to be updated to be compatible with the latest version of Firefox?
    </blockquote>
    First of all, I´m not a IT guy...just a fan of "firefox".
    Regarding your question, since this issue started with the 34.0.5
    version of "firefox" it´s my opinion that it´s "firefox" the one that
    should be updated/patched to work again with "netflix".
    to fix such issue.

    Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
    First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
    Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!
    :o)

  • Firefox won't open/connect tp the internet. Explorer opens and connects. Windows firewall turned off. No other antivirus program running. Happened when I downloaded new Firefox update.

    I had the same problem when i dl-ed a new anti-virus softward, but what I did help me reconnect Firefox again!
    Here is what I did,
    Go to open firefox browser-->option-->advanced-->network-->settings-->and change it to auto-detect proxy settings for this network!
    It worked for you, hope it will work for you too =)!

  • Session manager + new firefox update = corrupt sessions?!

    I just updated to the new firefox and all of my sessions are now blank or possibly corrupted and it only says how many tabs i have in each session ,but i cannot click on "recover session". Can i roll back the 36 version ,or is it a problem with session manager not being compatible with the new version ? How can i recover my previous session at least?

    To reiterate , I want to fix my sessions and my session manager, because I think I do have access to most of my tabs through another backup and potentially through a text editor ,but the new firefox update has created these discrepancies and I want to know how to bring everything back in order and specifically my sessions that are just showing a blank space within the session manager addon

  • The latest automatic update was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived with the same "request". Why and what do I need to do to stop this?

    The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.

    Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

  • Whay after new firefox download all pages load so much more slowly

    I have been prompted twice in the last couple of days to download new firefox updats.
    Since then, my web pages load very much more slowly than they ever had before. I have tried the usual system maintenance tools with no improvement in efficiency or speed.
    The downloading process states it disables quite a few normal operating systems involving Java and Adobe etc. Why?
    It seems you are improving firefox at the cost of the rest of the system. How is that supposed to help any web use?

    Everything is probably working fine for most of 400 million Firefox users. Whatever the problem is it will probably only affect a few users, and may well be due to something to do with how you have Firefox set up on your computer.
    If you are able to provide more information it helps us in trying to help you. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so attaching a couple of screenshots of the problem pages may assist us.
    The suggestions in my first post did '''not''' involve installing and uninstalling anything, just simple tests and changes using mouse clicks. In fact I pointed out a reinstall may not solve problems.
    (A special clean reinstall, or setting up a new profile does sometimes help, but first of all lets just try to find out first of all what you are seeing on your own computer screen)

  • Firefox extension: "TrueSuite 5.2.500.16" stopped working after last firefox update (30.0), even though about:plugin says it's enabled. Any fix to make it work?

    Firefox extension: "TrueSuite 5.2.500.16" stopped working after last firefox update (30.0), even though about:plugin says it's enabled.
    i tried resetting firefox and look for similar problems, unfortunately didn't find anything.
    also there's weird blank space before address in address bar
    other extensions and addons seem to be running fine.

    jscher2000, i tried that, i thought it didnt work before, it's just that this time i accidentally closed (and thus restarted) firefox and it worked, thanks man

  • After latest Firefox update, MOBI plug-in no longer works

    After the recent update to 29.0.1, my plug-in that I used to view MOBI ebook files no longer work. When I click on a file, it brings up the window saying "You have chosen to open blah blah blah MOBI file. What would you like to do?" And when I click Open, it simply opens a new Firefox tab, and then the question pops up again, and then again, if I click Open, it doesn't open the file but opens a new tab ... etc. etc. Clicking the other option, Save, did the same thing. I use Windows 7, if that makes a difference. The plug-in was working fine until I upgraded Firefox.

    Thanks - I discovered that that was indeed the case. It must have vanished with the update. Thanks! All is well now.
    (By the way, in addition to your helpful reply I got two rant-like spammy replies from someone else - I'm glad to forward them to you if you want to see them.)

  • Vpn icon no longer works after automatic firefox update. How do I get connection back?

    Weight Watchers Connections icon changes to some other browser page after Firefox updates itself. How do I get settings back?

    Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file.
    If you still have the signons.sqlite file that was used in Firefox 31 and older then you could try to recover the passwords saved in that file (you will lose passwords saved in Firefox 32).
    You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
    * reset the <b>signon.importedFromSqlite</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to the default value via the right-click context menu
    * delete the <b>logins.json</b> file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
    When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

  • Network problem after new OSX update download

    Greetings!
    I've had a new (late 06) Intel 24" iMac networked wirelessly to my older iMac/cable modem/D-Link router very successfully since October. No problems and seamless set-up through the D-Link online wizard software.
    Saturday I noticed an OSX upgrade to 10.4.8 (211mg) and went ahead and did the download on the wireless (Intel) iMac.
    Upon restart, however, I have not been able to reconnect to my network. Airport is ON, but choosing my network name returns an error message. I have also attempted to reboot both cable modem and router, and reentered the D-Link wizard to both doublecheck the old network, and set up a new network, but saving these settings seems to fail by not recognizing the device, the router.
    One of the error messages (on the wireless iMac) claims that my "settings have been changed by another application" (or to that effect) but does not give any clue as to how to determine what or where.
    Also, since attempting to start from scrtch with the router, I no longer seem to get a full signal from the airport -- in Internet Connect, I no longer see a nice row of blue signal lights.
    As you may be able to tell, I am new to networking, and the D-Link setup had helped make it simple -- tht is, I bumbled my way through it and was pleased with how well it worked. Now, after the OS update, not having the network is annoying -- and potentilly disastrous, as I need this machine online by Saturday.
    Anyone able to give me a gentle hand, or nudge in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!
    Bill
    PS- Mac user since 1991! Wireless network user since only late October!

    Hi again,
    Sorry, BDAqua, I didn't see your note. I don't quite understand the last line of your suggestion -- a number greater than the number of CPUs? Not sure what you mean...
    Phil, thanks for your note, too.
    I believe the answer to your first question is 802.11g -- this is what it was set to.
    After trying again to connect, using my old passwords, I was able to see the blue signal strength barss, and the Airport icon flashed on and off a few times, but ultimately the connection attempt failed again every time I tried it.
    At this point, I'm no longer confident that my router is sending out a recognizable signal -- is this possible?
    Also, in the dialog box in which available networks are usually shown (which has not happened since my original connection in October), today I was faced with a choice I hadn't seen before: 2WIRE736 -- is this likely to be someone else's network (a neighbor's)? I was wondering -- I'd never seen that one before. However, my own network names do not show up for choosing, and when I use Internet Connect to request them (and add WPA Personal and passwords), the connection appears to fail immediately.
    At this point, should I attempt an OSX reinstall? Or has something I described made some sense for you?
    Again, still very appreciative of all your help and patience with my ignorance.
    Bill

  • Why can't I use the fafsa website after downloading Firefox 5.0? Do I have to now uninstall the Firefox 5.0 and install their supported browers instead?

    It seems that fafsa does not support the Firefox 5.0 browser. I would need to uninstall the upgrade and install their supported browsers instead. I've encountered too many problems after installing Firefox and now I'm considering uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling Internet Explorer.

    Install Firefox Portable 3.6.18 for that website: <br />

  • After a Firefox update my search bar is useless. There is Nothing there to manage so I don't know how to fix it.

    I have the search bar but nothing is there. There are no search engines to manage. I really miss that search bar and am afraid of another update. Since I lost it after an update I get anxious when Firefox updates now.

    You can check if you have the XML files of the default search engines including Google in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    If not then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 33.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data if you would uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

  • Can't update my website after last iweb update

    Okay, since I installed the last iWeb update, I have not been able to udate my website. It was working prior to the update. Now when I make changes to my pages in iWeb and publish it, the website pages are not updated when I visit. Anyone experiencing this? I've looked everywhere to figure out the problem and I am stumped.

    I have the same problem since updating to iWeb 2.04. I can't publish to a folder on my computer either. I've tried all kinds of troubleshooting steps: reinstalling iWeb, trashing caches and preferences, System Archive and Install, permissions repair, you name it. This has really shaken my confidence in Mobile Me as a reliable place host a website. Because iWeb won't let me publish to a folder as well as Mobile Me I can't even update the existing site files on my hard drive and use an FTP application to move them to another host site.
    Does anyone know what the folder configuration in MobileMe is supposed to look like? I mine, there is a folder for "sites" with nothing in it. There is an iWeb folder with a sites folder in it too. There are files in there but I can't update them. Another strange thing is though I have two sites only some of the files from the second site show in Mobile Me.
    I'm sure Apple is trying to fix these problems but I don't think they even know what the problem is yet. Meanwhile, we have to spend valuable time on this thing, and we're stuck because we use iWeb instead of a more main stream web page creation package.
    I suppose there is a lesson in there for anyone who relies on their web site for their career and income.
