Constantly getting compression errors in Firefox for OS X
Hi. I'm getting the following error when using firefox
"The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression". Many images are downloaded distorted as well
It appears on any websites almost randomly (including google, youtube, facebook), and can usually be fixed by refreshing once or twice
-I'm running Mac OS X Lion
-I'm running Firefox 11
-I've tried safe mode, the same problem happens
-I've tried clearing the cache/cookies
-I've tried completely uninstalling (including deleting pref. files) and reinstalling
-This started about a week ago, I haven't installed any new software in about a month (apart from reinstalling firefox)
-I'm not running any software that could possibly interfere, apart from little snitch. And that couldn't even cause an encoding error
Try updating to Firefox 12. Also, are there any Mac updates you can install?

Every time I TRY to start firefox 18-19 I get an error message : "Firefox has stopped working" - "close the program and check online for a solution" - or - "close the program" this happens TWICE every time I try to start firefox. Eventually after a random number of tries firefox will start normaly. I am useing firefox 19.0.2 now bit I belive it started when I upgraded to firefox 18 but am not sure, it might have been when I upgraded to firefox 19 ... but it has been happening for a very long time and I cannot find any helpfule solutions online.
I have tried a Clean reinstall but it did not help.Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* 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 the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -

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! -
For a wesite I get this error in firefox, "Sorry, Netscape 4 cannot show inline frames", other browsers are able to open it.
I uninstalled all the old flash players and installed the flash player v16.0.0.235 from the Adobe website posted.
And Firefox is still the same. It takes forever to web search, It takes a long time to get on Youtube, and a longer time now to open a video..
It's actual worse since I upgraded to the newer flash player.
I'll do one more fifefox reset (this is the 8th one in a week)
and it works for a few hrs, and goes back to the slowww way of working...
Many of my friends I talked to about this, told me to switch over to Chrome like they had to do..
I guess that's the only alternative now..
Thankyou all for your help and suggestions anyway.. :) -
I constantly get an error 127 message when trying to donwload Itunes.

I followed instructions from this forum on which order to remove my files in and this seemed to work and all my music files came up.I was then told I had two upgrades to install and once this was done I got the error 127 message again. I have been using Itunes on my computer for the last 6 months with no problem. Any ideas please?
Hello there, sheilahan.
The following Knowledge Base article provides a great step-by-step walkthrough for troubleshooting issues with installing iTunes. Make sure you are downloading the install file from Apple directly, as you want to be installing the latest version of the installer, not a dated one. The proper link is provided in Step 3:

Why do I keep getting an error "insufficient data for an image" when opening a document
why do I keep getting an error "insufficient data for an image" when opening a document in Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06
I am also having this problem, especially with scanned documents. Since I need to download scanned documents in my work this is a big problem!Sometimes I can read but not save the document, sometimes one or two of the pages will be blank from the start. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). I tried reducing the page zoom, a suggested workaround on this page: Acrobat: “Insufficient data for an image” error after updating to 10.1.4 or 9.5.2, but that did not help at all. FWIW I use a Windows 8.1 PC with 4 GB RAM. I usually download PDFs from the internet using Firefox.

When I click on Mozilla Firefox I get an error box firefox.exe - Entry Point Not Found that reads "The procedure entry point sqlite3_db_status could not be located in the dynamic link library mozsqlite3.dll."

You need to do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder before installing a newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox. -

Attempting to upgarde itunes and I get an error message looking for "an alternate path to a folder containing 'iTunes.msi' location. I've searched my hard drive and the file doesn't exist. What to do?
This worked...found on a prior discussion:
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page)...

From the link above (near the top of the page)....Under 'download locations' click on 'download@majorgeeks'
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you just downloaded and ran.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

Delete the following folders:
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD

[Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
[Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
Restart machine and then try to install again.
*** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem. -

When trying to stream video I am getting this error message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (st) isn't associated with any program." How do I fix this?Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.
So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.
ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...
Can you get instructions from the vendor? Does these posts seem relevant:

I'm trying to timestamp (RFC 3161) a pdf using my own timestamp server hardware but always get an error: "Certificate invalid for use" (Original text - pt_BR:O certificado não é válido para uso). How can I get more info on what I'm missing or whats wrong with the certificate?
Which Acrobat version are you using? Do you use "Document Timestamp" command? If so, do you get this error during the signing process and the signature is not created or signature is created and you get this error when it is validated? If the latter you can open signature properties, click on the "Advanced Properties" and in the next dialog on timestamp's "Show Certificate". If you get this error during the signing process do you get an alert that shows some cryptic info with a number? If you do provide the content of this alert.
Also which Acrobat version (including minor) are you using? -
I'm constantly getting an error message - any ideas welcome
I'm constantly getting an error message 'You are not connected to the internet - Safari can't open the page etc etc - but I know I'm connected - any ideas welcome -
I've seen those messages on a machine with a damaged hard drive directory.
Corrupt or missing system files will also cause that.
Another cause is a bad ethernet cable.
Try a different user account and see if the message persists.
Boot to the OS X install disc and use Disk Utility to Repair Disk on the startup drive.
Try a different/new ethernet cable.
but I know I'm connected
