Firefox/3.6.10 shows message whenever I click on an icon needing Internet access, saying 'Firefox couldn't install this item because "install rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist' and advising me to contact the author - ???

Whenever access to the Internet is needed, clicking on any icon or link (including the Firefox icon) results in a delay of around 20 secs., followed by the appearance of the error message, headed "Malformed File". The message reads 'Firefox couldn't install this item because "install rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.'
Clicking OK or closing the box leads to a further delay of about 20 secs. after which the required action takes place! Of course, it could be said that it's really only a delay, so I should just get used to it, but it's still a malfunction, it's a pain in the neck or another region, and I really would like to cure it. Any suggestions - please????

Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.
Well that is the message i get. I can still use firefox(version3.6.8)

You get that error if an extension is using an old and no longer supported method to install a plugin.
Which plugin are you trying to install?

Every time I launch Firefox it pops up an error stating "Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem."

Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.
The statement above is in the pop up error box every time, when I launch Firefox. If I click ok in the box Firefox then opens. How do I fix this initializing/launch problem?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When i try to use firefox it says that install.rdf is not well formed or doesn't exist. what can i do?

i click the firefox button on my desktop and a window pops up saying what i wrote in my question. i turn the window off and firefox opens normally. it says exactly this:
Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well formed or does not exist. Please inform the authors about this problem.

This error can be caused by an extension that tries to install a plugin in a way that is not compatible with current Firefox versions.
Do you see any disabled extensions in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions ?

Everytime i plug my phone into itunes it says it cant connect because the phone is locked well i restored my phone twice and set a new passcode the last time and it still wont work . I even deleted itunes and reinstalled it , it dosent work . HELP PLZ !!

I had the same issue. I tried everything unchecking / rechecking, formatting Iphone and restoring from backup etc etc.
In the end it was a simple issue which might of might not help you.
A number of months ago I relocated by Itunes folder to a NAS drive. It appears when I did the last I tunes update Itunes set the destination path of the Itunes media to the default location, the result was Itunes couldn't install music,apps, video until I set the correct destination path.
The bit that confused me was it was transferring some media. This was of course the media I had downloaded since the last Itunes update which had gone to the default location.
I hope that makes sense and is off some help.

XML Custom Panels: Samples With Doc are Not Well Formed XML

The custom panel samples in the XMP Custom Panels document (and the accompanying sample file) is not well formed XML (which means that CS3 can't be parsing the file as XML, which would explain how this error made it publication). In particular, the XML declaration is missing the closing "?".
 
 As published it is:
 
 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 
 It should be:
 
 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 
 Note the "?>" rather than ">".
 
 This is in addition to the DOCTYPE SYSTEM URL not resolving to an actual DTD declaration set (which would be:
 
 
 title CDATA #REQUIRED
 type NMTOKEN #REQUIRED

You'll have to do something to prevent your logger from appending to old logs that have been closed. Sorry if that is not very helpful, but I'm not familiar with the logging features in SDK 1.4. For your interest, though, Log4J (which you can get from Apache) also features XML logging, and it solved that rather obvious problem thus:
"The output of the XMLLayout consists of a series of log4j:event elements as defined in the log4j.dtd. It does not output a complete well-formed XML file. The output is designed to be included as an external entity in a separate file to form a correct XML file."
In other words, you would have to wrap the output in an XML header and a root node to be able to use it, which is not difficult to do.

Form SYSTEM does not exist "Message no. TD 705"

Hello all,
When I go to transaction FB03 for any document. Drill down on a line item. Click on pencil to change the line item. Click on long text button. Click on the editor icon. Message received "Form SYSTEM does not exist". The display is in SAPscript editor. I am unable to change to the Word editor using menu Goto > Change Editor. Message "Form SYSTEM does not exist" appears as the message.
Any idea what the message "form system does not exist" and how can this be corrected?
Thanks

Sometimes JavaFX form (BorderPane) does not show correctly

We have a problem with a JavaFX application running on Java 7. Sometimes a form (BorderPane) does not show correctly – it seems to be transparent (i.e. content previously shown at the same place is still visible). Controls seem to be present and respond to events – e.g. we can close the form by blindly clicking the appropriate button. Once the issue happens it is persistent, i.e. next time we open the form, it behaves the same.
We have no reproducible scenario leading to the issue. It just happens here and there – we have not been able to identify any pattern yet.
Additional information:
the form (BorderPane) is loaded during application start-up but it is not shown initially,
to show the form we remove previous contents from a StackPane and add the form instead,
to hide the form we do the reverse.
Do you have any ideas how to diagnose the problem? Where to look first? What kind of diagnostic code could we put in the application that would help us?

I am unaware of any such issue being reported previously.
Without a reproducible test case, you are unlikely to get much assistance.
Other than the creation of a minimal test case which reproduces the issue, I could not even advise how you might go about diagnosing and fixing your issue.
There were many bug fixes implemented for Java 8.
I advise you to upgrade your test environment to the latest Java early access release (currently Java 8u40) and test to verify if your issue replicates in that version.
If the issue still reproduces, create a bug report which includes your test case and full environment details.

When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

Short dump with error FORM "CLEAR_SPECIAL_TABLES" does not exist"

Hi All,
We are experiencing an issue in our development system. We have recently upgraded to ECC6 from ECC5. While executing FBL3N transaction, we are getting a dump with description Syntax error in program "RFEPOS00 ".
The following syntax error occurred in program "RFEPOS00 " in include "RFPOSFZ0 "
line 1072:
"FORM "CLEAR_SPECIAL_TABLES" does not exist"
I checked in our previous systems, the subroutine CLEAR_SPECIAL_TABLES exists with an empty body in include RFPOSFC1.
And it is created by DDIC.
As per the comments in the include RFPOSFC1, we tried to generate the program RFXPRA33. But it is giving same error FORM "CLEAR_SPECIAL_TABLES" does not exist" .
Any help to resolving this issue will be appreciatable.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Kumar.ktk on Jun 8, 2010 1:36 PM

Hi,
We just had this issue after an upgrade and the solution was to compare the coding with an unupgraded system,
there we found that this missing form exists in an include with this documentation:
Function LINE_ITEMS_SPECIAL_FIELDS
caller L0F14I01, AFTER_SAVE_T021S, tcode O7R3
In case of errors: Start RFXPRA33
FORM CLEAR_SPECIAL_TABLES.
ENDFORM.
After we executed program: RFXPRA33 all errors were resolved,
Hope this helps,
Mickey

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

Form HR_SGTAXIR8A2002 does not exist

Hi,
When I try to run the IR8 form from Portal ESS I get the following exception:
"Form HR_SGTAXIR8A2002 does not exist"
It is a sapscript form. I used se71 and activated the form (but first I copied it from 000 because it was not available in our client). The language EN seems to be ok.
1. Am I missing some steps for activation?
2. Where can I see the program/transaction where this form is used? Is there a configuration table containing the sapscript forms and associated programs?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Adalbert
PS: I know what report the Portal is calling: RPCT8AR0_01. The report did run fine in R3 from the beginning. The problem is that the report is NOT running in the portal even with all the IMG config done. Strangely, RPCT8AR0_01 never asked for HR_SGTAXIR8A2002 (I had to copy it from 000) even if the sapscript form was not in our client before the copy.
After some debugging in se37 of HRXSS_SG_IR8A_GET_PDF I see that the report is looking for the form definition in table STXFADM. The form is not in the table (but I can edit it with se71). How can I get the form in this table?
Message was edited by: Adalbert Kovacs

1. Yes, I get the error after using SE71->Utilities->Copy from client.
2. I am not familiar with "driver programs" but I checked the following tables:
- STXFADM
- TNAPR (I think this is for Smartforms actually)
I don't have the form in any of these two.
So, to reformulate the problem, the error is generated by a missing entry in table STXFADM. This is a sapscript form, not a smartform. What is the table STXFADM used for and how can I add my form to the table?
Thanks,
Adalbert
