Cookie(?) problem on Firefox AND Chrome in xfce4

So, this is a weird one:
Firefox and chrome refuse to let me log-in to the majority of forums. I enter my login details, get the 'please wait, redirecting...' then it takes me back to the login screen. This is across multiple, unconnected forums. opera doesn't seem to have this problem, although I do get 'invalid session, please resubmit form' occasionally when making posts using opera.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to solve this problem.
Obviously I've tried clearing my cache multiple times in both browsers, clearing down all my cookies and saved passwords / sessions etc but the problem refuses to go away. Help!

Which Firefox/Chrome do you use ? Which site is that you mentioned ? Is there any output if you start these from console? Could you compare the output in terminal when you run opera and firefox e.g.?

I have a basic applet method timing problem with Firefox (and Chrome), not IE nor Opera. Works if JavaScript issues windows.alert() prior, fails otherwise.

I have an applet method, which is invoked from a JavaScript function, that is triggered by the window.onload event. The problem seems to center in the loading of the applet and its methods.
If I step through the 3 applet acceptance prompts (I chose to use a down-level Java), the applet method is never invoked, nor is an exception raised. How this happens is beyond my understanding.
As additional information, the Init(), start(), and "desired" Java methods all use the synchronized keyword. This is an attempt to minimize the exposure to a multi-thread environment.
If I issue a message from JavaScript (via window.alert()) PRIOR to invoking the method, I can get the desired results in special circumstances:
1) When the alert is presented, Firefox also prompts, SIMULTANEOUSLY, to block/continue the applet (the first of the 3 applet acceptance prompts). I can accept that these are separate threads.
2a) If I walk through the 3 applet acceptance prompts FIRST, and then hit the OK button on the alert message SECOND, I get the desired results, my applet method executes, and all is well (other than the fact that I would prefer not to have the alert in place at all).
2b) If I hit the OK button on the alert message FIRST, and then walk through the 3 applet acceptance prompts SECOND, I get the same results as when the page loads WITHOUT the alert, which is the applet method is never invoked, nor is an exception raised. Weird, huh?
The above problem only occurs when the browser and the applet's URL are loaded for the first time.
Subsequent invocations (after the page & applet has been loaded initially) do not have the failing symptoms.
It is my understanding that IE and Firefox (and Chrome and Opera, for that matter) each use the same implementation of JavaScript provided by Microsoft. Please correct me if this information is inaccurate.
The failing page and it's applet are proprietary; I cannot provide the Internet URL, nor the Java or JavaScript source, to aid in your analysis.

I can speak to the source code, but have no access to it.
The current process/thread that invokes an applet method must check to see that the applet is not currently being loaded by another process/thread. If it is being loaded, the current process/thread should block until the load is complete, THEN attempt to invoke the applet method.
Please forward my concern to a knowledgable developer. The nature of the problem, once identified, can be addressed in a very straightforward manner.

Problem with firefox and chrome

Hi guys,
i've a problem with chrome. When i download something with google chrome and at the bottom i press on the file or show all downloads, i'm redirected to firefox :0
Tried also to uninstall firefox. No way, nothing happen if i press show all downloads or press on the downloaded file.
Any advice?
Thanks guys.

Perhaps Mate isn't as gnome-like as I thought. I just found this which looks to be a solution.
Or, my solution to all xdg-open related problems: replace it. I've writen a tiny script like below that I replace /usr/bin/xdg-open with so I can stay in control of what it is doing.
#!/bin/bash
# replacement for /usr/bin/xdg-open
for f in $@; do mime=`file -b --mime-type "$f"`; case "$mime" in
#MIME-TYPE) APPLICATION <END LINE WITH ;;>
audio/*) mplayer "$f" ;;
video/*) mplayer "$f" ;;
*/pdf) mupdf "$f" ;;
esac; done > /dev/null 2>&1 &
I would not recommend this script if you are not comfortable editting scripts as it does need customizing. However, the alternate solution is to edit a much longer and much more confusing script.
Edit: cleaned up my ugly script, as it is a work in progress.

Still problems with firefox and chrome on the slideshows.

Hello, I've been struggling with this problem for several days now. I can't get firefox 3.06 or chrome to load the slideshow created on iweb 3.03. Chrome would not even load the albums.
Works fine on Safari.
I reinstalled iweb. Nothing changed.
Some of my friands could create sites that work fine without any particular patch, but some other people seem to have my problem as well. Any idea anyone?
Thx for a much needed help.

JQuery/Javascript not working on Firefox and Chrome

Hi guys, I've had this Jquery/Javascript on my page for a long time. This has stopped working. If the user clicks on buttons on the Apex page, nothing happens.
It works on IE but doesn't work on Firefox and Chrome. It used to work fine.
Is there anything I can change to make it work on all 3 browsers?
Firefox error console shows a syntax error at this point in the script:
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
Please can someone help?
This is the full script:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var itemChanged = false;
$(document).ready(function(){
var $items = $(':input');
var $htmlButtons = $(':button[id]');
var $templateButtons = $(':button[class]');
var $allButtons = $($htmlButtons).add($templateButtons);
$items.change(function() {
itemChanged = true;
$templateButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return $(this).attr('onclick').toString().split('\n')[2];
$htmlButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return this.id;
$allButtons.removeAttr('onclick');
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
$('a').click(function(event){
if ($(this).children('img[id="P&APP_PAGE_ID._DATE_PICKER_IMG"]').length > 0) {
event.preventDefault();
eval($(this).attr('href'));
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if (itemChanged) {
return 'You have made changes to data on this page. If you navigate away from this page without first saving your data, the changes will be lost.';
//]]>
</script>
Thanks

JavaScript doesn't work on any site at all? If particular sites are the issue, or you get specific error messages, please let us know.
Usually the only two ways to disable JavaScript in Firefox are:
(1) Options dialog > Content tab<br>
(2) NoScript add-on (or other security-related add-ons)
Normally Safe Mode bypasses issues caused by add-on problems or non-default settings, so it's worth considering external issues.
Does JavaScript work normally in any other browsers you have installed?

Robohelp 10 output in Firefox and Chrome

Hi,
We have recently purchased Robohelp 10 and generated output in Webhelp Pro. Then we tried to integrated with our applications locally. We found it is not working properly in Firefox and Chrome. We have gone through the javascript code and found there is no corresponding implementations for those browsers. If you can help us in this regard it will be very great.
Can we use map ID's? If yes, how to do?
Thanks,
Kranthi

Unless your server has RoboHelp Server installed, you need WebHelp, not WebHelp Pro. Perhaps that is the problem.
See Calling WebHelp for information about map IDs and not the link to Willam van Weelden's site.

Unable to Search. Windows Automatically close...Safari, Firefox, AND Chrome!?! Pls help!!

Hello everyone,
I am so frustrated right now. I don't know what is wrong with my mac. I have this issue on Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. Have tried disabling all extensions, have never set parental controls (I'm an adult).
Sometimes I can browse for and successfully access adult websites without any issues, but sometimes this odd thing happens where I will type "p0rn" (without the 0) into Google and immediately the window or tab will close on me. Else, if I type in less specific words and come onto an adult site, WHAM it will close again!!!
I really have no clue what the issue is. I have never installed any adult filtering software on my computer, and have no interest in doing so. Lately I have been waching more **** than in the past, and I have moved around 5 times in the past couple years so am not sure when this issue began exactly.
It is really frustrating though.
PLLLLLSSSS does anyone have a solution??
Thank you!!
<Edited By Host>

Hi everyone,
I solved the problem.
I had an unrelated software I had downloaded to block other websites called Website Blocker, but had misplaced it a while back. I'm not sure why sometimes it activated, and other times not, but the problem is solved.
I am sorry for posting this. I hope it helps if someone else finds his or herself in a similar dilemna.

How to stop vidx ads from appearing on safari, firefox and chrome on my Macbook Pro?

Hi, recently downloaded some movies online and ever since then, vidx ads have been appearing on the sites that I visit. I have tried moving the vidx.dmg file to the trash, and also emptied the trash. Furthermore, I have also tried uninstalling the vidx extentions from my browsers, and the vidx ads still keep appearing. Now it's taking really long for me to load my web pages, and the glaring ads are even more annoying.
Please help, and thank you so much in advance!

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

IE render takes significantly longer than Firefox and chrome

Page load times are similar, but while firefox and chrome render "instantly", IE takes quite some time (seconds)
There are a large number of controls on the page but we have replaced them with text boxes and its still much slower than other browsers and debugging is not helping. We use update panels and dynamic user controls for rendering but need better page analysis
than the standard IE tools provide.
Its IE 10/11 and the original post was here:

Hi,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
You can use UI responsiveness to help you analyze UI performance problems. Check this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn255009(v=vs.85)
You also can try to use profiler tool to to get detailed performance measurements of the JavaScript in your webpages.
Check this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn255005(v=vs.85)
What result do you get after you used above tools? Maybe you can find something helpful after you used the two tools to analyze your web page performance issue. It would be better if you could provider a sample to test.
You also can find some third-party tool to analyze web page performance issue on the Internet.

Flash Player crashes IE9, Firefox and Chrome

The latest version of Flash Player 11.4.402.287 is causing my browsers (IE9, Firefox and Chrome) to crash when I'm on Pixorial. I've contacted Pixorial customer service but they say it's a Flash Player problem.
I'm running the following:
Windows 7 Professional
Chrome 22.2.1229.94 m
IE9 9.0.8112.16421IC
I have updated the display adapter driver (I read somewhere that might help) but no change. I am having the same problem on my laptop at home which is using the exact same versions I have typed above, except it uses Windows XP.
Any help is sincerely appreciated. I'm at the end of my rope and I don't know how to fix this.

I got reply and they said it's not necessarily a Flash Player problem. The app need to load heavy resource to run so it might be causing performance issue under your HW/SW configration. Have your machine with same setting worked fine before and suddenly started the issue after installing Flash 11.4.402.287?

Spry Menu not dropping down in Firefox and Chrome

Hi -
I am not a professional and having difficulty. I have inserted a spry menu bar in CS5 and it looks fine in IE, but doesn't drop down (can see a little bit) in firefox and chrome.
I read a bunch and tried a fix to make the overflow visible, that fixed the problem but my formatting of locations of other areas went wild.
The site is: http://www.tucsonrealpros.com
.....any help is much appreciated...been pulling hair out

Hi,
I have tried the site and can see the drop down for Home search, Buyers.
Can you try to update the chrome and firefox.
Thanks and regards

Hanging on startup- Firefox and Chrome won't launch.

My MacBook Pro is hanging on the startup screen with the Apple.
I am wondering what else I can try to resolve this.
*It finally booted in Safe Mode- but the screen froze with only a Finder window open.
*Restarted it normally and it finally booted.
*To get it to restart the next day- I had to boot in Safe Mode- it froze again- and then it booted normally.
Other troubles: Safari is the only browser that will launch. Firefox and Chrome won't open, although the Apps are running, no window ever opens.
Here's what I've tried:
*reset PRAM
*ran Disk Utility - repaired permissions, verified the disk- everything checked out ok- button to repair disc wasn't an option.
I've noticed the boot time had been taking longer over the past couple of weeks... shutdown has been taking longer, too.
Apple replaced the Logic Board on this machine in July. Could my current problem be related?
Thanks.

The G5 is a PPC Mac. Chrome and Fx require an Intel (architecture) processor.

Flash Player constantly crashes on Firefox and Chrome, works on Safari

Hello!
This is my first time posting here. I've been working on this all day and have made NO progress.
I'm on a Mac OS X 10.9.3 (this was also happening with 10.9.2, I applied the 10.9.3 update today hoping it would make difference).
ANY version of Flash Player I've installed today has worked fine on Safari, and not worked on both Chrome and Firefox. I've uninstalled reinstalled both Firefox and Chrome many times. Both browsers are up to date (Chrome v34, Firefox v29). There are no logs or anything ever.
The plugin runs for a little bit then dies. I've tried reverting to version 12, and version 11, neither made a difference. I've done the whole disable the pepper plugin with Chrome and had Chrome using the other one I had installed. No difference.
I'm OUT of ideas and can't find any other information or help with this. PLEASE HELP!

Your issue is distinct from the original poster's issue about a crash on Mac. I've branched this out to a new thread so that we're not confusing everyone.
Firefox on Win8 isn't very stable. We're collaborating with Mozilla on improvements, and my test results with the daily development builds are really promising, but it will be a few more weeks before they actually make it to production releases.
In the meantime, you're way better off using IE or Chrome.
