Firefox 3.5: facebook chat does not work

After an update to firefox 3.5 the facebook chat does not work anymore. It says I should update to the current firefox version. With the mozilla binary everything works fine.
Someone with the same problem?

A more versatile solution (imho) than delving into about:config is to install the User Agent Switcher plugin found here
install that, restart, and then go to the User Agent Switcher icon, Choose "Edit User Agents..."
Click "Add" > "New User Agent" and it should give you the firefox agent by default. change it to:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090703 Firefox/3.5
(all i did was change Shiretoko to Firefox)
Name and save the agent, and then select it from the drop down and refresh facebook. works like a charm!
for extra credit, go to the User Agent Switcher icon, Choose "Edit User Agents..." and import this list:

Now you can spoof a bunch of browsers!

Home page link on desktop Facebook still does not work (pic included)

This does NOT happen in other mobile browsers, only Firefox. Over many Firefox versions on Android, the home link in top left corner of facebook does nothing when tapped/clicked. Same as the "Home" button on the top right. If I click the Facebook button 23 - 30 times, THEN it will load the newsfeed....otherwise it just sits there doing nothing. See the attached image below. What is circled in RED is what does NOT work. Mostly I have to open the link bar and type in the facebook address to load it. Why is this?

I've had this problem since Firefox V.17.0. it bugs having to open the link bar just to have to go to my newsfeed. Mobile site sucks :p

Adobe pdf plug in for firefox, 10.1.4 version, does not work but can not update to new version, why?

Adobe pdf plug in does not work, when I tried to update following message appeared, "Adobe Reader 9.5.1 and lower has been blocked for your protection", how to solve this problem?

Could you review/adjust your preference for which program opens PDFs? I'm not sure how that drop-list behaves when there are multiple Adobe plugins. You might need to physically remove an old plugin file or two to make sure Firefox is not trying to use the old one.
* [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]] <br>
''Edit: actually this article describe how to use the Options dialog Applications section to review/change the setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]''.
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins (only one want nppdf32.dll here)
* In regedit.exe, check the following key for the source of obsolete plugins: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins
Both the file that stores download handling preferences, and the file which registers plugins, can be renamed and Firefox will regenerate them, so those remains options for further actions as well.

Firefox application starts IE instead, can't open Firefox in anyway! Reinstalation does not work.

Today I was browsing regular wallpaper webistes, and suddently my Firefox crashed, and opened IE to its home page. After this, in every way I tried to execute Firefox, I got IE opened instead. I ran a full virus scan, got some trojans wiped out, but the problem continued. Tried restarting, and finally reinstalling FF, but none of it worked. Never seen anything like this, anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

Do you still have a Firefox desktop shortcut?
You can also check if Firefox is still installed.
Firefox installation folder:
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
Also check the setting of the default browser.

LG Ally Facebook Sync Does Not Work

Good afternoon,
     The following feature does not work for my phone, and LG Electronics pointed me in the direction of Verizon. Also on a side note, the older version of Facebook that comes with the phone is not uninstallable.
     Under "Accounts & Sync," when I select "Add account," and select Facebook I at first will receive the option to log in to facebook, however it will never sync contacts or Facebook data. When attempting to sync a second time after login, it will just show a blank white screen or nothing at all and return me to the "Accounts & Sync" screen with no change in added accounts. I have upgraded to the newest version of the application, uninstalled everything facebook related on the phone and started from scratch and rebooted/reinstalled with the same result. This is one the main reasons I purchased the phone. Please assist, I would like utilize this feature.
     Another note, the Socialite Facebook version that LG provided works perfectly, however the contacts you cannot edit which pretty much makes the application junk to me.
     Dan

Same problem here.
Socialite will sync but locks the contacts, and has the further irritation of being unable to load any FB profiles. Hence, no pictures are included. Not even mine.   At this rate, the app would be more aptly named "Anti-Social".

Hello Hannah,
It sounds like the you are not able to consistently chat using the Facebook app. I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this (you can skip step 3 since it is not related to this issue):

Home link in upper left corner of Desktop Facebook site does NOT work. Will not go to Newsfeed

Pressing the "Facebook" logo in top left corner will not work most of the time. The newsfeed does work..but let me explain this a little better. Say, I'm on a friends facebook page using the full site...I want to go to my newsfeed so I click the "Facebook" logo in the left hand corner next to the notification icons....poof....nothing happens, except, I notice the little padlock on the left side of the address bar disappear. I can let it sit and it will never do anything. If I press the facebook logo about 15 times, then it will finally load the newsfeed. It seems like some kind of issue going from secured to unsecured pages. It does not do this when I am in one of my groups though...odd. I have always had to use the addeess bar to go back to the newsfeed . This problem has existed through many versions of Firefox. No other browser does this.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
#*Cookies & active logins
#*Cache
#After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

How can I contact Adobe to reset activations. Chat does not work neither on OS X Mavericks Firefox nor Safari

Recently upgraded to Mavericks OS with fresh hard drive and deactivated prior to the new install.
Still says that my activations are exceeded even though they were deactivated on both laptop and desktop Mac.
Now, cannot get to Adobe chat because it doesn't work on either Safari or Firefox.
What happened to the call-in line for this?
Cheers,
Monica

I'm using chrome and it said not available at this time. My hard drive crashed so nothing was deactivated. I am able to install so far but it's using my second try and I can't get to Adobe to have reset. What's up

I was using firefox 4 and HP Simplepass worked like a charm. I upgraded to firefox 5 and now it does not work. What is the fix for this?

HP Simplepass worked great with firefox 4 and now that I upgraded to firefox 5 it no longer works. Why does firefox 5 not support / work with HP Simplepass?

-> Uninstalling Firefox on Windows
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
-> Starting with the release of Firefox 5, the previous version of Firefox (Firefox 4 in this case) will no longer be maintained with security and stability updates. Firefox 3.6 is the last previous Firefox version that is still being maintained. To downgrade to Firefox 3.6, download and run its installer from:
* http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
'''Warning: Firefox 3.6 will only be maintained with security and stability updates for a short period of time.'''
-> Installing Firefox on Windows
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing%20Firefox%20on%20Windows
Check and tell if its working.

Quicktime works fine in Firefox/3.6.18 but does not work properly in any versions above.

I've recorded a screencast to show examples of how quicktime works with FF 3.6 but not on any version higher.

Well, it's what I did to get my Java working in Firefox 4. I installed both binaries into my Library/Internet Plug-ins folder. The version was newer that what was previously installed (newer version is 0.9.7.5). It solved the Java problems I was having. My inital problem was that Java would not initiate and no applets would run in Firefox version 4 which I just installed a few days ago.
I know the readme.txt. says it is not compatible with version 4, but the release date on 0.9.7.5 is after the release date of Firefox 4 and so that was I tried it. I figure there was nothing to lose as at worst it woud update my two plug-in files. Nothing was going to be changed otherwise. If you try it, it might work.

A1 -- Google Talk (chat) does not work for me

I have not been able to get Google Talk to work on my A1 tablet since I got it. The tablet does almost everything I want it to and I've been able to figure out and fix all the bugs so far except for Google Talk.
When I try to start the app, I immediately get a force close and have no other choices--not even to report. I can't figure it out. Has anyone else had this problem? I appreciate any help.
Also, will your Google Maps continue to work once you've left a WiFi zone? Like if you change course and it needs to reroute?
Thanks,
Jeff Voegtlin

I turned on Talkback to see if I can reproduce this, I understand that when I turned it on the following cannot be turned on at the same time:
air gesture, aire view, assistant menu, smart screen, interaction control. multi window, turn off all sounds, direct pen input, palm motion and one-handed operation.
In the url bar there is no autocomplete, but if you tap over the suggestions on the newtab page that is below it will read the highlighted suggestion. However for elements in an html page I could not highlight or select the dropdown menu items as well.
Is this an android bug as well?
