Form built in Dreamweaver works when it wants in Firefox. Works fine in Safari & Explorer. Have reloaded original working version. Still does not work in Firefox.

I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

I need help with deactivation.
I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Redirect not functioning on Firefox 27

I was putting up a sales page on my site and I noticed that
the redirect on my page was NOT FUNCTIONING with
Firefox version 27, so I downloaded Firefox version 25 and
the redirect on my sales page was working with Firefox
version 25.
Can you look into this redirect problem with Firefox 27 and
get back to me (all of us) with a solution?
Here is the URL for my sales page: http://cybermark-solutions.com/4steps1
When you try to leave the page, the page should redirect
to another page. It works with Internet Explorer, Chrome
and Safari, BUT NOT FIREFOX VERSION 27.
Please fix this redirection problem and get back to be with
your solution.

I don't need someone with some sort of morals to say that no redirect is okay, but rather I need to be able to see redirects when using Firefox 27. Why should I use Firefox 27 with redirect not functioning, when I can use Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari, and all of those well known browsers will redirect web pages when a redirect is being used on a web page. Can someone tell me how to fix this Firefox redirect problem or do I have to change to a FULLY FUNCTIONING BROWSER?

Arrow keys and enter key not functioning in Firefox 3.6 when viewing PDF

I'm using Adobe Reader 9.3.0.
I have a web application that displays PDFs (using Adobe Reader) in a browser. The PDF is loaded onto the page inside an IFRAME. In addition to the IFRAME containing a PDF, the page also includes several forms, text fields, etc. For the most part this is working fine. However, I have a glitch when using this in Firefox 3.6. I'm finding that certain keyboard events are being lost and I strongly suspect that they are being swallowed by Adobe Reader. When I place focus on an HTML text field and press enter key or arrow keys, I do not get the appropriate key events. If I run the exact same test without the PDF IFRAME these key events work correctly, but as soon as I load the PDF into the IFRAME they do not. I believe the primary key event that gets lost is the keydown event. I do get the keyup event.
Again, the events work correctly up until I load the PDF onto the page.
I've verified that this error does not occur in Firefox 3.5 and 3.0.
Here is a testcase to reproduce this:
<html>
<head>
    <title>JavaScript - Detecting keystrokes</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

        window.onload = function () {
            init();
        document.defaultAction = true;
        function init() {
            var x = document.getElementById('testForm').getElementsByTagName('input');
            for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++) {
                x[i].onclick = setEvents;
                if (x[i].checked)
                    x[i].onclick();
            writeroot = document.getElementById('writeroot');

                return false;
        function setEvents() {
            if (this.id == 'default') {
                document.defaultAction = !this.checked;
                return;
            var eventHandler = (this.checked) ? detectEvent : empty;
            document.getElementById('textfield')['on'+this.id] = eventHandler;
            //document['on'+this.id] = eventHandler;
        function detectEvent(e) {
            var evt = e || window.event;
            writeData('<b>'+evt.type+'</b>: keyCode=' + evt.keyCode+' : charCode=' + evt.charCode);
            return document.defaultAction;
        function empty() {
            // nothing
        var writeroot;
        function writeData(msg) {

Paste the above into an HTML document. Open the HTML document in Firefox 3.6. Check the four checkboxes. Move into the text field and press arrow keys and enter key to observe the results when it is working correctly. Then click on the "Now Load PDF" link. Press the arrow keys and enter key again and observe that the behavior has changed.
Anybody have any idea why this is happening or how to work around it?

I found a workaround!
By using an object tag instead of an iframe, all the keys seems to work fine and the PDF still renders in the page the same way.
Here's a page that works:
<html>

            for (var i=0;i<x.length;i++) {
                x[i].onclick = setEvents;
                if (x[i].checked)
                    x[i].onclick();
            writeroot = document.getElementById('writeroot');
            document.getElementById('emptyWriteroot').onclick = function () {
                writeroot.innerHTML = '';
                return false;

Preview mode Dreamweaver CS3/CS4 not compatible with Firefox 3.6.8

I found a post about this issue, which was marked 'solved', but it isn't! To use Firebug, I had to upgrade Firefox and since I did, I can't use the 'preview' function in Dreamweaver (It works only once, when Firefox is closed, but I don't like to close and re-open Firefox every time I want to preview a page). Downgrading is not an option, as I can't use Firebug and I really not think Adobe has to solve a problem caused by Firebox, as suggested in the previous post.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

There is a fix available for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions:
http://solutions.marketingmedley.com/
There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

TOC does not function in FireFox 3

I am running the WebHelp on RoboHelp 7 (XP Blue skin). The
TOC is not appearing on FireFox 3. RoboHelp 7 WebHelp templates do
not support FF 3? (Looks fine on FF 2.0 and IE.)
[Edit: I did find someone else on here with a similar
issue...
WebHelp
Navigation Pane Killed by FireFox 3
For me,
Firefox 3 + Win XP = Broken
Firefox 3.0.1 + Vista = Works
Firefox 3 + Mac = Don't care, cuz we don't support :) If
someone wants to post their findings, please feel free.
I'm not running any custom scripts, so it can't be that. I
will post more as I learn more.]

Hello Peter,
Do you mean this thread by "brainskillet"?
Link
to Brainskillet's Thread
If so, yeah I read that one. Found out that this appears to
be an issue with "firebug" in FF3 (just like sah033 mentioned in
brainskillet's post thread). Turning firebug off fixes the issue on
XP apparently. However, "firebug" is not something that our
customers should be turning off.
I'm patched up with the 2 patches that you mention in
brainskillet's post thread I think. I can't find any other patches
to which brainskillet is referring to. Do you have a link?

Buttons in some forms do not function since uprade to FF4; still a problem in 5

On aol.com for example the forward and back arrow buttons do not function when I click on them in the news section. When I try to click the submit payment button on the Verizon website it will not register. Hyperlink type buttons work fine but the issue seems to be with some graphical buttons in websites. These worked fine in FF3 and in chrome and explorer. I love Firefox but this really hurts the functionality for me.

Windows XP magnifier, which I - as a blinkd person - depend on for all of my computer work, does not function in Firefox 5 like it does in my other applications, making work extremely tedious.

My Windows XP machine is set up following the accessibility options in Windows accessories...expanded text...large cursor and the High Contrast theme...with green text...black background...large icons and scrollbars. I use Windows Magnifier at the top of the screen to enlarge what is showing in an application window. Magnifier works well in MS Office, Paint Shop, Notetab, Outlook Express, IE, and Firefox 3.x. Since updating Firefox, first to 4 and now to 5, Magnifier cannot follow my cursor in forms that are contained in web sites. I must write my text or code in a text editor (I use Notetab) and then paste it into forms. I write and post web content for a local pro-life group, and the inability to depend on Magnifier to show me what I am typing into a text area or text box, means I must spend extra time moving back and forth between applications. Set up a Windows XP machine as I have done, and you will see what I mean. Firefox must be set to match the Windows accessibility settings. I do use IE when I absolutely have to, but Firefox is so much more secure.

GavelSnipe does not function on Firefox, but it does on I.E.8 (which I am now having to use) - why

Can get GavelSnipe onto/into Firefox and have it bookmarked. When you cut and paste an Ebay item number into GavelS and enter your max bid and ask it to be sniped, GavelS reverts you back to the sign in page and when I return to the input screen the details I last entered have not been recorded. Just loaded the same screens in IE8 and its carried out the functions perfectly

Hello Welshwoody,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

My Minimize, Maximize, and Close Buttons are not functional in Firefox 13.0.1

I recently downloaded Firefox 13.0.1.. For the past several days the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons located in the top right hand corner have been non functional almost immediately upon starting a browser session. I have tried disabling plugins with no success. I have experienced the same problem when running safe mode. I have attempted to disable hardware accelerators. I have even tried resetting to default settings.. For the record
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with 2 GB of RAM as well as Norton Antivirus.. Any advice would be appreciated.

The Windows 7 pop up screen at the bottom toolbar does not function with Firefox 4. Instead there are now tabs on top. The Windows 7 feature was handy because one could easily see which pages you're working on. How can I fix this?

One of the Windows 7 features is the pop up box icon at the bottom toolbar which displays which pages are open when scrolling over it. After installing Firefox 4 this function does not work anymore, instead it was replaced by Firefox tabs above.

I believe you are talking about taskbar previews. To enable them you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.taskbar.previews.enable''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''

ATT email in updated form does not open on Firefox - how can I return to classic or make the new version compatible with Firefox?

Since I updated to the latest version of ATT email from the classic email version, I can't get Firefox to open the mail. And I can't find a link to go back to classic. I need to know if there is a change that I need to make in my Firefox settings to make it compatible or how to return to classic.

The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name

When i try to add an add on that is supposed to be compatible I get a message that says it's not installed because firefox cannot modify a needed file

I just upgraded to FF 5.o. Many of my addons state that they are compatible, but when I try to install them, I press "install" then a message pops up saying that it can't be installed because FF cannot modify the needed file. How do I change this?

That probably means that the extension lacks the required <nowiki><em:unpack>true</em:unpack></nowiki> line in the file install.rdf to make sure that the file gets unpacked after installing.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4.0#XPI_unpacking
Firefox 4 and later no longer unpacks an extension automatically, but renames the XPI file to the ID of the extension and copies that file to the extensions folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Try to set the Boolean pref <b>extensions.alwaysUnpack</b> to <i>true</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
