Content encoding error comes up no matter what site I try

Error message: The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== it started a week or so ago, can't think of a reason why ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.1.249.1045 Safari/532.5

Does this happen on secure sites? Try https://support.mozilla.com - the secure version of this support site.
The most common reason for all sites being blocked is a firewall, so try the steps at [[Firewalls]] and let me know if the problem still happens.

Beehive Online: How to Resolve Content Encoding Error or Invalid Login?

Hello,
These questions relate to the following Beehive Workspace:
Workspace: Synopsys_Spice_and_FastSpice_Simulation_and_Analysis_Workspace
Login: [email protected]
The Login "[email protected]" is a valid workspace member for the workspace: Synopsys_Spice_and_FastSpice_Simulation_and_Analysis_Workspace
. This login has been used successfully for about 6-months to exchange data between me and the user. On a recent login attempt the user gets the following error from FireFox:
Content Encoding Error: The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
A similar error is issued when using Chrome or Opera. IE comes back with an unable to reach server error.
What the user has told me is that she recently reset her password. Afterwards, the above error after the login screen.
A few other points that the user has told me that do not make too much sense to me. The user claims that the system gives an invalid "login" error when she uses the email address: "[email protected]". The user claims that the login that she needs to use is "[email protected]". However, the email that is registered is "[email protected]" on the page: https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/teamcollab/participants/Synopsys_Spice_and_FastSpice_Simulation_and_Analysis_Workspace
Any help on how I can get her email address "[email protected]" to work properly for the workspace Synopsys_Spice_and_FastSpice_Simulation_and_Analysis_Workspace
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Pouya

Hi,
Her email "[email protected]" is the one she has to use or the content encoding error will be returned. It is an ugly erro but it means the user has a valid sso account but not a valid BeehiveOnline account - If she is using "[email protected]" then this is invalid and will generate the error.
There are 2 accounts in the wwldap system - one for each and I think the user has confused the account/password combinations - Nothing has chnaged on the system and the "[email protected]" account is still valid and active.
I checked the logs and she is using the wrong username and getting the 304 error returned:
access_log.1342612800: [email protected] [18/Jul/2012:13:05:31 -0600] 1 "GET /teamcollab/library/Oracle/Synopsys_Spice_and_FastSpice_Simulation_and_Analysis_Workspace/Documents HTTP/1.1" 500 304 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1"

User gets an Content Encoding Error message when trying to access workspace

Hi.
I've created a workspace and added several users to it who can access it without any issues.
However, one specific user (Leslie Elstad - https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/teamcollab/profiles/[email protected]) can't access her workspaces. She is using Firefox on a Solaris 10 machine.
Here is what she told me:
"I clicked on the Start button under Team Workspaces, which took me here:
https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/teamcollab/
and displayed the familiar Content Encoding Error message."
Please advise.

Hi.
Please let me know what is going on when we add people to a Beehive Online group (Solaris Curriculum).
People are frequently getting this same error/message when trying to access several workspaces.
New cases, please help me fix their access:
[email protected] can't access https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/teamcollab/wiki/Transition+to+Oracle+Solaris+11+Express
[email protected]: can't access: https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/teamcollab/wiki/Transition+to+Oracle+Solaris+11+Express
Thanks.

Why does Content Encoding Error appear always, even when home page is selected?

The Question summarizes the problem that is prevelant in thousands of Firefox downloads as witnessed by the same thousands of people in your Question Forum. You must know what the heck is causing this and how to fix it. Version numbers are meaningless. This problem appeared last year and no cache clearing or cookie cutting or re-downloading or anything else will fix it. Why do you do nothing to solve this error?? I don't like IE8 but I have no choice, I need a working browser.

I think I found something. When loading a web page it's looking for 128 bit (or something like that) encryption. An example that works every time: If I type java.com in the address bar I get that "Content Encoding Error" box.
If I type http://www.java.com I get the same thing.
If I type https://www.java.com It works
The same thing happens with other sites. A few have http and still work. the ones that don't work but I change the address to start with https load properly. Ok maestro what gives? and how to make it work all the time?

Content Encoding Error Message re invalid or unsupported form of compression

After installing the last update, when I would attempt to go to various websites, even google, I would get this message on some sites not all. I did not get on IE or chrome.
"Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.'
This is what I did.
Open Firefox
1) in the address bar, type: about config 2) promise to be careful 3) type in the filter bar: encoding 4) double click on the value column of network.http.accept-encoding 5) change the 'string value' from "gzip, deflate" to "true" (I had to type that in.) I found that on another string that was closed that the moderator said not to do it or it could mess things up.
I do not know if issue was caused by last update as add or remove programs in control panel does not show Mozilla updates so I could not uninstall last udate. Only other thing I had done was reinstall Real Player Plus with Real downloader and Speed-bit accelerator as I was having trouble downloading flash videos from web pages mainly from Firefox. (Chrome in its wisdom playing god disabled the addon without even asking me so I could not use Chrome for downloads-they said something about not knowing publisher or certificate--"Real Networks"!!! maybe Google-Chrome does not want users of "You Tube which I think it owns to be able to download offf it with competitor or sort of competitor's applications.) I do not know that the Rel Player re-installation had anything to do with the Firefox error message-just contemporaneous in time as was the Firefox update that I only knew about as Firefox let me know I had to restart to finish installation of update.
After ten minutes after making changes re config it seems to be operating OK

After leaving my computer on all night with Chrome and Firefox both open but doing no downloading, etc., I noticed that Wincows Task Manager icon was all green showing 100% CPU usage. I opened Internet Explorer 8 which had been off all night. I looked at Windows Task Manager "processes". It shows firefox.exe with cpu at 86 to 95, iexplore.exe two instances, both at at 00-02, and chrome.exe (2 instances) both at 00. Realpaly.exe also left on all night after burning multiple Cds 6 hours earlier was also at zero. Nothing named speed bit had an active process, but videoacellerator.exe and VideoacceleratorService.exe both of which I allowed to stay in a startup folder were both at 00. Firefox is not downloading videos etc. It has two windows open, one at eBay and one support.mozilla on this issue(content encoding error). This all started occcurring after the latest Firefox update that necessitated the restarting of my computer. I have th two Firefox extensions that like T=Real Downloader allow downloads of flash videos on web pages and neither one was active Flash and Video Download, and Flash Video Downloader the former had been active for several continuous days downloading multiple video clips but had been turned off before I went to bed. After an hour typing this things are still the same with Firefox the CPU hog , still at 84-97, chrome.exe and iexplore.exe still both under 05. For some reason with the recent update tht required restarting the computer Firefox has become a CPU hog and is not working properly withprograms (Windows downloader and Speedbit) and has the content encoding error message issue as wll as sometimes IE not able to go to some pages. My CPU icon in taskbar is teill all green, and can't close firefox without a lot of hassle as that is what I am typing this on.., but I bet that when I do total CPU usage goes to 20 or so and system idle process is the only process with numbers over 80 for CPU.
Has anyone told a webpage manager that there is an encryption problem with their webpage (such as Google or Amazon) as the error message instructs us to do?

Firefox gives me "Content Encoding Error" when trying to navigate through websites.

I have been having trouble when using Firefox. I am continually getting a "Content Encoding Error" when trying to go from my home page to another page or even just going from the main page of a website to link on that site. I can't access facebook, yahoo mail, charter, google mail or any site without getting the "content encoding error" message at some point when on these sites. I am able to use ff on other computers in my house without any issues. I can't even run ff in safe mode. When I try to refresh some pages I get a box asking me if I want to open the application or save it to my computer. I never clicked anything saying I wanted to open it, I was just trying to refresh the page to get back to where I was. Is there a way to go back to the previous version of ff to get rid of the problem? Does that even fix the problem? Can someone please suggest something that I haven't tried so I can fix my problem? I didn't start having these issues until I got (at the time) the latest version. It has been giving me trouble for about 2 weeks now. Thanks

No matter what site I download firefox from, there is always an error and will not open or install, what is the problem? I'm on a Mac with OS 10.4. I'm trying to download firefox 3.6.12.dmg

When trying to download firefox 3.6.12.dmg to my Mac, OS 10.4, no matter what site I download it from, it will not install. There is always some error message. I'm trying to download it again now, and I know it will be the same thing again and again. Can anyone open a window for me, since the door is constantly being slamed in my face?
Thanks

Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
worked great in 3 mns

Firefox gives "content encoding error" for multiple sites (mostly forums), however, wget can open those sites just fine

I am working under a corporate proxy server, so this might influence the problem. From home i can access the sites just fine. From here - it gives "content encoding error" on different kinds of forums. For example, http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index.php?act=home
I tried to download wget and could download the website htm file just fine!

I also have this problem. I believe it is caused by being connected through a proxy which is adding a second compression to the data. (I think IF uses gzip compression already).
Added details:
* Opera also works.
* I can view the IF admin section on FF
* I can view the forum if I go through a web proxy.

Content Encoding Error - Firefox 8.0 - Win7 Ultimate 64 Bit

Content Encoding Error - Firefox 8.0 - Win7 Ultimate 64 Bit
I'm completely hooked on Firefox, so I only know how to use it, however I was forced to switch to IE, because I have a virus any that only leaves me open these two.
But in Firefox 8.0 recently updated pages take 4 or 5 times longer to open and when they open is full of errors. Clear the cache only solves by 1 min! lol

You can get a "Corrupted Content Error" error if there are multiple location redirects send via the HTTP response headers or there are other errors in the response headers.

When I start ffox I want the same 2 tabs to open EVERY time no matter what sites I have visited in previos session - can I achieve this

In the home page setting you need to use a pipe (|) symbol as separator.
See [[How to set the home page]]
You can also create or modify a Firefox desktop shortcut and add the two URLs to the target field of that shortcut.
In that case you need to separate the URLs with a space.
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://site1.com http://site2.com

While viewing web sites the screen suddenly jumps like it is resizing itself. Doesn't matter what site I'm on. Also I have to click links/back button at least 2 times to get it to respond.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either.

So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either. I tried deleting documents in pages as well as the app and reinstalling it, but nothing has helped.

Try quitting Pages and then reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

An error occurred while publishing file "/Web/Sites". Try publishing again

Any ideas - I have been getting this since the move to ME. Systems logs on to Mac.com then immediately comes up with this error - An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/Sites”. Try publishing again later.

I hope that you're now able to publish?
Unfortunately I'm not.. and I'm really getting fed up. I'm first to admit I'm technologically-challenged (which is why I prefer Apple to PCs because they're far more user friendly) but I've tried the things I've seen mentioned in other threads.. such as ensuring the .me update has been done, successfully published to a folder, etc.. When I publish (I only have the 'publish to mac', not 'publish to me' option) the creating log bar progressed to the half way mark before disappearing. Suddenly another box pops up to say that my site will begin publishing. It doesn't. Instead 'iweb unexpectedly quit'. It doesn't make a difference whether I've published to mac, published all to mac or simply clicked the publish button on the bottom left. While 'creating' the buttons turn blue but once it quits and I re-open/relaunch they're back to being red. As I am unable to get through to the online chat support (several unanswered messages and now it's completely unaccessible) I'm hoping someone else can suggest what I try next. It's been almost 2 weeks and I love iweb but am at the point of wanting to cancel my membership. Help!
