Firefox 11 seems to disable Windows clipboard features

When Firefox is running in the background, Excel 2003 will no longer cut or copy cell information.

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''.

  • My interface -- buttons (back, forward, reload), firefox tab, groups, etc. -- does not look like the sample on your "firefox features" page. ("Groups" seems not to function at all.) I'm running the current firefox 4 download on Windows XP. Can you help?

    Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
    Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
    I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
    I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

  • Disable Programs and Features of Windows 7 using GPO

    Hi all,
    How do i disable Programs and Features  in control panel of Windows 7 using GPO.

    > Further to this - is there a way to disable specific features via GPO
    > other than scripting?  Like TelnetClient, or InboxGames.
    For some - yes, see Administrative Templates - Windows Components. For
    most that you seem to address - unfortunately no.
    sincerely, Martin
    NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing:
    Good or bad GPOs?

  • Z77A-GD65 Does "Windows 8 Feature" in BIOS disable CSM ?

    I cant find anywhere in the Z77A-GD65 10.8 BIOS that has a option to Disable CSM
    So if I have the "Windows 8 Feature" Enabled in BIOS does this do the same thing as Disabling CSM ?

    CSM = Compatibility Support Module
    Usually you can use this to enable UEFI support for certain things, like everything but graphics - I used to use this on my previous boards to let me enable Windows 8 features. Was a bit gutted to find this wasn't an option with my Z87-G45.
    Would also like to disable the Intel RAID menu from showing but can't seem to do that either :/ guess I just miss the ultra fast boot option from my old Gigabyte board.

  • 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'''

  • In Windows 7, firefox seems to revert to the default icon (unknown as opposed to the firefox symbol) when I delete the desktop shortcut.

    In Windows 7, firefox seems to revert to the default icon (unknown as opposed to the firefox symbol) when I delete the desktop shortcut. This is rather aesthetically displeasing. I can not find much help for this online.

    You can try to clear the Windows icon cache.
    #Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
    #In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
    #Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
    #Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
    #Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
    #After the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
    It is possible that the file IconCache.db is a hidden file.

       UserGWGroup

  • I have a new macbook pro and just installed latest firefox. The problems is i can't seem to disable the tabs from appearing each time i restart firefox. I did uncheck every box in the peferences tab menu, still can't stop the tabs from appearing.

    Firefox 10.0

    Hi dcast01,
    Are you saying that it restores your old tabs when you restart? Have you looked at ''Preferences > General'' to see if Firefox is set to restore your tabs from the last session? You should change it to ''When Firefox Starts: Show my home page''.
    Or is your issue that you keep seeing the tab that says "welcome to firefox" when you start the browser? If that's the case, you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

    Hello,
    The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
    To Refresh Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
    #Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Website viewing issue with Firefox 3.6 under Windows 7

    I use java script to list current headlines on my website userfriendlypc.net under, "In The News". The website has always looked good under Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera and Google Chrome. Since migrating to Windows 7, Firefox, only Firefox makes the text link in this area look like crap after the first link. The text changes to a greenish color and the hovered link seems offset making it look really bad. This only occurs in Firefox and only under Windows 7. I have tested this under Windows 7 with a basic install of Firefox and under XP. No add-ins or anything else was added when it occurred on the test machine.

    I thought the ClearType configuration would fix the problem as it seemed to clear it up once ClearType was disabled however doing this made other things look like crap. I tried every combination available and this did not fix the problem. I was able to fix the problem however by eliminating the fade function from the javascript on the web page. The "In The NEWS" section still functions properly, just without fading the article titles in and out. A compromise I can live with. Thanks all for your help and hopefully, we won't run into any further problems.

  • Firefox opens an empty window when macbook wakes from sleep.

    Firefox 31 is active and I close the Lid of my MacBook air. when opening the LID sometime (1 hour?) later an empty windowframe appears. The address-bar is unresponsive. The situation cures itself after a minute or so.

    Hi hstoeri,
    This has not happened to me before, but in the past I have seen threads that have narrowed it down to hardware acceleration.
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
    #* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Firefox is creating oversized windows

    For all web sites, Firefox 4 is creating windows larger than the screen. Zooming does not change the result. I'm using a Macbook 13", 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB, 1.07 GHz bus.
    I have Javascrpt installed, but I get an error message saying:
    "JavaScript must be enabled in order for you to use Gmail in standard view. However, it seems JavaScript is either disabled or not supported by your browser. To use standard view, enable JavaScript by changing your browser options, then try again."

    Additional info: I installed Seamonkey (yes, I know, another Mozilla browser). The results with Flash player were the same. 210 crash reports, 7.6 MB in less than 2 minutes. I have submitted a bug report to Adobe as well.

  • Firefox frequently hangs on Windows 8.1

    Firefox has been hanging at seemingly random times ever since I got my Windows 8.1 laptop, which has an i7, 8GB RAM, and Intel HD 4600 graphics.
    The hanging itself lasts anywhere from ten seconds to a couple minutes, and it usually freezes all other open programs as well. It can happen at any time, regardless of memory usage - when I open a new tab, when I type into the search bar, when I click a bookmark, etc.
    This does not occur on my Linux Mint partition, nor on my Windows 7 computer. Given that fact and my laptop specs, I doubt it's a hardware issue. My best guess is that one of my plugins/extensions is causing it, which I believe have been populated in the troubleshooting information.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Can you try disabling hardware acceleration?
    # Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options''.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

  • Everytime i try to open my Firefox i get a window that pops up asking me which browser i want to use to open it. After choosing Firefox it asks to run a C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe.

    Every time i try to open my Firefox i get a window that pops up asking me which browser i want to use to open it. After choosing Firefox it asks to run a C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. But my search bar says file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. Never seen anything like this, half tempted to stop using Mozilla for this sole fact. PLEASE someone help me.

    Same error message, I disabled tab mix and made sure I only have the newest version of Java, restarted firefox, now it seems to be fine no error yet on Pogo games or pictures upload to ebay which were the biggest problems besides hanging. I had also had disabled AVG secure search yesterday but that did not solve the issue. Now I will try to add back in AVG search...I have very few adds ons, also the note embedded about re- installing a toolbar went away, my old one did not work with FF4, so I installed Yahoo toolbar but the message still did not go away until I applied this fix. Hopes this helps someone..
