Editing in Firefox 18 is not working
Editing in Firefox 18 is not working - I cannot edit in my wordpress editor, or edit the google search text in the menu bar for example. I am on Mac OS X 10.7.5
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The 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 the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the 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.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

Tried to copy/paste from an article to my web site and got a "cannot copy /paste " warning and was directed to a security perferences site that said that Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.
Tried to find my Firefox profile directory using the start menu and was directed to hit enter to go to web. Feel like i am getting run around.Let's start with something very basic, and that is, you do not need to use the paste button on most websites. The button just reads what is on your clipboard and sticks it into the form. You can do that yourself using Ctrl+v or right-click>Paste.
For your security, I suggest using those standard Windows keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+x cut, Ctrl+c copy, Ctrl+v paste) or the context menu.
Occasionally you will find a paste button that runs a clean-up script or otherwise does something useful. That is where the (admittedly a bit complicated) instructions come in handy.
To open your active profile folder, you can use:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Which help article are you using for the modifications?
Finally, please be cautious in opening up your clipboard to sites. You may have stuff you copied from other pages or other programs that you do not want to share with most sites. -
I started working for ChaCha 11/26/2010, I had to download a program to take incoming questions.
Ever since then, Firefox will not work correctly, even if I am totally logged out of ChaCha, and the page is closed, if I try to open my browser using Firefox, it will not open, I have to go into the processor tree and manually end Firefox, then it will work, but it will only let me open 1 page at a time. For example I have Firefox open now, but if I go and click on the icon to open it in a new browser, it will not open, I either have to close this, or use IE-I HATE IE lol.
I cannot use the ChaCha add on you have because it is not for the new version of Firefox, please help, I love Firefox, but not being able to open more than one window/page at a time does not cut it, nor does having to manually stop it from processing. I have tried re-installing it too.
Thank you, MelindaI should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.

My Firefox is not working (All I get is a blank white screen with the firefox logo. If I have to reinstall Firefox 3.66, how can I transfer my old profile to the new installation?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox openedDavid. Thank you very much. The problem was not with the canvas but rather the Viewer. But the solution was the same. Somehow, the Viewer window was re-set to Alpha. I changed it back to RGB.... and the picture is back. These issues are often very simple.... but they can drive you bats if you don't know the answer. Very grateful. Tim

Lightroom 5.4, syncing photo settings edited in CS6 does not work. Maverick OS 10.9, Raw 8.3.0141
I recently updated Lightroom to 5.4 and noticed that when the file comes back from CS6, the edit/sycn settings does not work. Selecting the gray area of the source file, and selecting another, clicking on the sync produces nothing. When I select a source image and another that has not visited CS 6 the sync works fine. I have used this simple technique for years with previous versions and never had a problem. Something has changed with the update and/or compatibility with the file coming back into Lighroom. Any thoughts about this would be appreciated.
ssprengel, thanks for following up. I work with DNG files in Lightroom that have been converted from Raw CR2 files. They are exported from Lightroom to Photoshop as Tiff files and any files that i edited and traveled round trip could not be used to sync other files in Lightroom. Even simple edits like saturation or exposure have disabled the file from being able to sync the settings to other files. I do most of the syncing of develop settings in Lightroom, but occasionallly I will adjust basic settings in Photoshop for one reason or another and after updating to 5.4 I noticed that sync worked fine within Lightroom only. I have tried a few changes to preferences with regard to how develop settings are registered with the file and that hasn't made any difference. Any ideas?

I keep getting "Unable to connect" for my firefox. It was working yesterday and I turned my computer off. I can get to the web using internet explorer 9. I don't know why my firefox is not working. Everything else is working.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

When iam using jdownloader for dowload, the firefox did not work at any page, as like`` there in no internet conexion?``
you need to check whether '''jdownloader''' is compatible with the Firefox version you are using.
-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extension section -> check the Status of '''jdownloader''' extension -> if '''an update''' is available for this add-on then install the update -> Restart Firefox and check again check the compatibility -> if it is '''GREYED with Exclamation mark''' then it is incompatible with Firefox
Try using this extension to force compatibility.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.
Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

Firefox does not work on my new motorola razr i (XT890). Will my phone be supported soon?
Firefox does not work on my new phone, motorola razr i (XT980). When finishing the download from googlePlayStore it says, that the package is invalid. (I use the german interface, so I don't know the exact translation being used). I suppose this is because of its Intel processor. Will it be supported soon?
Yes, I have this very problem on my newly bought device too.

I have had the problem of Yahoo! mail freezing (my computer freezing) with Firefox right after I boot up my computer and sign into my Yahoo! mail account. I have to either shut down my computer or use Control + Alt and press Delete to eventually bring up the Task Manager option. Then, once the choice for Task Manager comes up, I can click on cancel and Yahoo! mail and my computer have "un-frozen." I have followed all the recommendations for updating Firefox, clearing caches, checking if an Add-On is the problem, etc., as well as all the recommendations on Yahoo! help pages. Nothing has improved the situation to date. Firefox info says the problem is with Yahoo! Yahoo! says it is a browser problem. I just want the problem to be fixed. -
Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8
Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8
I found this on another forum and it worked for me.
This problem usually has to do with TCP/IP or Winsock requiring a reset.
Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can
be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.
You need Admin access to enter the codes below. Windows button + x, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
You may have to reinstall Chrome and Firefox or reboot to have the chnage take place.
Hi,
This seems to be the only solution to my problem, however this is temporary. Any advice on a more permanent resolution?
I have also tried to disable "Automatically detect settings" under: "Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings/Automatically
detect settings".
This has no affect.
Thanks, -

I was logged in to reply in the thread "Firefox will not work with paypal". I spent the better part of an hour carefully composing that reply, testing cases, providing links, etc... [Hint: Firefox, unlike other browsers, has a problem with scripts from server paypalobjects.com.] Because I had taken so long to compose the reply, it seemed like a good idea to check it via the Preview button, but I got a message that that function was not available. Of course I decided to submit it anyway, but when I hit "Submit" I got a message "You don't have permission ..." - at which point I was (stupidly) on a different page with that message, and everything I had composed was gone!
It might be too late for this, but it's what I use when this happens. Prepare for deep nerdom:
* Open the web console below the error page by pressing Ctrl+Shift+k
* Right-click the blank area and turn on logging of the request and response bodies
* Resubmit the request by clicking the reload button
* Click the new URL that appears to open the viewer showing the headers and bodies

Help: Firefox does not work in XP Pro limited account
Firefox 3 only works in administrator accounts. I tried:
- To grant full control to Firefox folder and to grant limited user to run Firefox
- To change the type of limited user ABC to administrator account and installed Firefox 3, then change ABC back to limited account. Firefox does not work.
I have similar problem with Opera.
Other programs such as IE, MS Office, Adobe,... work fine. Diskeeper and PC-Doctor require admin privileges.
My machine is X61. I have Kaspersky IS 7.0 installed.Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I know Firefox can work without admin privileges. I just have no clue why it does not work in my case.
I installed Firefox from administrator account, following on screen instruction. I did not modify anything. It installed into Mozilla Firefox folder under Programs Files folder.
By "does not work" I mean when in "limited account" (not in admin account) I doubleclicked the Firefox icon on the desktop nothing happened. Same situation with Opera.
I found a way to run Firefox: I rightclick the Firefox icon and choose "run as..." In the dialogbox I choose "administrator" and key in the password. It works normally. Also work with Opera.
I know Thinkpad has its own security system. I just can not figure out whether this system could intervene XP Pro operations or not. I think this should not happen.
Hi admin,
I'm sorry I accidentally post the above reply creating a new thread. Please help delete. Thank you.
