Firefox 33 and 34 - Some sites no longer correctly displayed (no style?)

Hi,
I'm using firefox on a iMac. After upgrading to firefox 33 (and 34) some sites are no longer showing correctly. Seems to se like a problem about style&stylesheet, because I see them as a simple list of items and with default formatting (like blue/purple color for links).
I started trying the basics, emptying my cache and then directly removing and reinstalling firefox, but nothing changed. (If I reinstall version 32 it does work).
Then, I tried doing what I found on the forum, like disabling hardware acceleration, zooming and dezooming, nostyle vs basestyle, but nothing.
I could even simply go back to firefox 32, but a couple of those sites are sites I directly own, so I need them to work in any case.
Can you help me? Thank you!

    Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab so you can't use Command Q or Command R for reloading...GRRRRRrrrr, hate this

    As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
    When you close Firefox you should use
    *'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
    Are you doing that ?
    I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
    * see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it

    A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
    *use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information <br /> -> [Show Folder]'''
    *see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.

  • Once latest Firefox 24 version uploaded, some sites visited get pop up that Adobe Flash Player 11.8 r800 has stopped working

    Once latest Firefox 24 version uploaded, some sites visited get pop up that Adobe Flash Player 11.8 r800 has stopped working. Have tried following and none work:
    - reinstalled latest Shockwave Flash software, uninstalled and reinstalled with clean wipes
    - downgraded Flash to previous version
    - disabled hardware acceleration
    Only when I disable Javascript in Firefox will the error stop but then no Flash application will work.
    This is clearly a Firefox issue with the latest version. The previous version was using the latest Flash and there was no issue.
    Below you will see I am using older version of Flash as I was testing previous, but same issue when I go the latest verison.
    Please fix in an update.

    Well that solution failed ... lasted for almost a day. The crashing of Flash is back.
    You asked for the last crash reports IDs. Here they are:

  • Firefox will not open some sites, no error is reported, it just sits forever with the status bar half way.

    Firefox can not open some sites but no error is reported

    yea, that has happenend to me as well.
    Well this is what has happenend to me anyway.
    I will go to the apple site and enter the discussions forum, and the blue bar in the url box will jsut hang for minutes sometimes. THen the page will finally open as well as the blue bar will show up all the way.
    But then i will click on say , the safari forum, and the blue bar will open just alittle, though the page will not, and ill wait anoither 2 minue and it finally open.

  • I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library.  I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

    I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library.  I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
    I can't access these images except to go into the applications. 
    Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive.  I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space.  Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use. 
    As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb.  Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
    So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
    -select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    -eliminate dups but maintain organization
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    -live happily ever after
    Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

    If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
    So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
    -move aperture library to live on external drive
    Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit Aperture
    2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Referenced -  relocate your Masters first.
    These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
    -import iphoto library into aperture library
    FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an  iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
    -moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
    You can't. Every photo is in a Project.  They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
    You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app  you've purchased.
    The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

  • Firefox won't allow some sites to open lightboxes or login popups.

    OS: Windows 8.1 (64 bit) x64 AMD E-300 Processor
    Firefox 25.0.1
    I just got a new laptop and have discovered this issue: When I try to click links on some sites to open a lightbox or popup (usually for login boxes or photo slideshows) nothing happens. Absolutely nothing, no error message, no loading screen, no "busy" or "working" animations, no redirect. I've tried the same pages in the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Chrome and they work correctly. These sites work on my old laptop with the same version of Firefox and Vista SP2 32 bit and my work computer with Windows 7 64 bit.
    I've tried disabling Add-Ons one by one and as a group, didn't make a difference. I've cleared the cache and cookies. I've turned by firewall and antivirus/antispyware/antimalware programs on and off.
    Sites with a known issue: "View larger images" on Zillow.com, Login on Moviepilot.com, Login on doubletakedeals.com. I can't remember any others at the moment.

    If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • HT201412 My iPad 1 crashes every time I open a game app, and for some sites and blogs such as Facebook or Awesomer. What's wrong with it?

    Hi, my iPad 1 can barely open a game for more than a couple of minutes without crashing and going back to the home screen.
    I've had it for about 2 years but it has been happening for about a year, and now it's annoying me more than ever.
    It happens on some sites like facebook and sites with lots of videos like Awesomer or Vimeo.
    I though that when I update the os to iOS 5, that would fix it and while it did get better for a while, it just got worse again.
    I even reset the machine, and restored it from iTunes but nothing's made any improvement.
    Could anybody help me?

    1. Double-click the Home button to close all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
    2. Hold the Apps in Task Bar down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close Apps
    4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
    5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • I upgraded to Firefox 4 and now all sites are very slow. I cant even watch youtube videos anymore. Is their a way I can downgrade back to what I had?

    I was given an option to upgrade to Firefox 4, so I did. Ever since I have done this, Facebook is taking a very long time to load. All FB apps either take a few minutes to load or just dont load. I have tried to watch Youtube and the videos are taking longer to view. I have tried to watch videos and they keep skipping. I have tried to reload the page, restart my computer and even upgrade flash but I already have the updated version. I need to know if their is any way to downgrade back the the Fairfox version that I had.

    Upgraded to Firefox4 too. Suddenly I started to notice that browsing pages in my webbrowser qaws horrible laggy and I was seriously wondering if my connection was acting up, yet everything non-browser related was working just fine.
    I can't even watch music videos on youtube now, as it will only load up to a 3rd of the song and then just stop loading anything more untill I click on the bar on a spot it hasn't loaded, and then it will start from there untill it gets to a 'block' again.
    In other words: totally unusable for me.
    I tried uninstalling firefox4 and going back to the 3.6.17 version, but now the issues haunt me in that versino too. It's like firefox4 sunk its teeth into my system once, and then older versions won't work proper either :(
    Seriously considering just getting a different browser to be able to actually BROWSE the web again >:(

  • Today I have a windows 7 just set up and did not transfer fire fox data .I downloaded firefox again and installed some add ons but I only have a startup screen

    I just want a firefox toolbar with all the tabs history,delete,menu,etc: what I have is a getting started page with search bar.

    You're using Firefox 29 which is at Beta at the moment and will be released to the public next week. The UI has changed drastically and the Firefox button and menu bar have been hidden in place of the new menu located on the right end side of the navigation bar.
    You can restore your menu bar by press the ALT key then at the top go to View > Toolbars > Menu Bar

  • Firefox will not open some sites and does not function on those opened

    Firefox does not open comcast.net and fails to respond on other websites. It opens others but does not function once opened.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.86 Safari/533.4

    I am an ordinary user and use FireFox on a Windows XP pro sp2 OS.
    I can open and run FireFox by a variety of methods, and do not need to have any firefox: folders, files, or shortcuts on my Desktop unless I so wish.
    I suspect you have a rather none standard installation. The quickest solution may well be to uninstall FireFox ( which you have presumably not been able to use anyway) and reinstall it. I would suggest; at least initially; you just use the standard default installation you are offered.
    You will probably find this page of use, the [http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/3.6.13/releasenotes/ Release Notes], it includes links for downloading FireFox, and has advice and information about installing and downloading.
    I am sure you will have further questions when you try to install but click on the blue link above and look at that page and then post back again and I am sure someone will try to help you.
    I am assuming that you are already on the Internet with a browser such as Internet Explorer, and a broadband connection, or are you trying to install from a CD or something that has a FireFox install file on it. (if so what are you using, and what is the version of firefox)

  • How can I fix Firefox 18 and 19 from taking too long to close when custom settings for history is used?

    Hello, please read entire post before answering, thanks!
    I had Firefox(FF) 12.something and was happily using it when I had to get a new hard drive and start over, so I decided to upgrade to the latest FF of the moment, 18.something...
    After going through setting up all the different add-ons etc.. and resetting the options/preferences (not cool how you all reset those every time it updates!) The time to open and close went from 2-4 seconds each to 78 seconds to open and 48 seconds to close. Over the last two days I tried (except reset) and read all the suggestions here to no avail.
    So I read up on how to totally uninstall all traces of Firefox so I could do a clean install, that didn't work either: The freshly reinstalled FF 18.? program still opened and closed in the same times, and had all my info despite my deleting the folders/sub-folders said to hold that info. I turned everything off in FF, still no improvement, so again I tried to find accurate info on how to completely remove FF and still nothing that is correct for the current programs.
    Today I looked again for info on how to totally remove FF, found something new to me, and tried that, including a complete search of the registry and removing everything with the firefox name, then reinstalled FF 18.?
    Again all my bookmarks and info was there, and when I looked up help it auto-updated to 19.0 without my permission, again I don't like others making decisions for me for "my own good"(hence the screen name), not OK!
    So I tried the reset feature in FF 19.0 and it did just that and the opening and closing lag times were gone, back to 2-4 seconds each,which seemed great!,but no.
    When I went back to set up my options and restarted, FF went back to the lag, so I eventually removed/reset everything and all was well again, so I started putting/setting things back one at a time, that's when I found and verified the problem, the history settings!!!
    I repeated this 6 times with the same results:
    Set the History to Remember, and everything works fine, set the History to Custom the lag returns without fail.
    My settings in Custom were:
    Accept and remember everything until I close FF
    Clear history when FF closes.
    In the sub-menu "Settings" under the Clear History when FF closes:
    All 6 boxes are checked for History and no boxes were checked for Data (all the defaults)
    I looked at the processes running in Task manager when starting and stopping FF with these settings,I found that not only was FF.exe running but also a plugin-container.exe, both eventually stop after about 48 seconds, the plugin container does not appear to run when History is set to Remember all... (I have an incomplete memory about the plugin container causing problems like this in the past but I cant remember what or exactly when so...)
    I also tried leaving the History setting to Remember All and the restarted and tried to clear everything through the Tools menu and FF stopped responding for about 60 seconds and then seemed fine afterward.
    So I conclude that there is a problem in the newer versions with clearing History in the background while the browser continues to function, and the likely culprit is the plugin container(again?)...
    So on to the questions...
    Is it possible to set History to Custom and have FF 19.0 remain operational during that process and for FF to close in a few seconds as it did in FF 12.something with the same History settings?
    If so how can I set that up?
    If not, what is the latest version that will work correctly with the History being remembered until FF is closed and then wiped before re-opening, without waiting more than a few seconds for it all to happen as it was in my FF12.? version?
    Also, How do I remove ALL TRACES of Firefox 18.? and up so that I can do a clean install if I need to, as I said everything that is here or linked to from here up to today, 2/21/2013, was not sufficient.
    Thanks for your time...

    So now on to question #2 of the original post...
    "Also, How do I remove ALL TRACES of Firefox 18.? and up so that I can do a clean install if I need to, as I said everything that is here or linked to from here up to today, 2/21/2013, was not sufficient."
    Why?
    As it turns out, the plugin-container.exe rears its ugly head yet again. With as many as four instances trying to run at once, and locking FF completely whenever I try to watch videos online. (Google Chrome has no problems with the same videos on the same sites with the same software available to it on the same drive on the same machine, so it is definitely something in FF)
    Also:
    1. ) The auto update for; plug-ins, FF itself, add-ons, etc..., refuses to stay disabled.
    I've read others saying that as many as five different areas need to be found and addressed in order to fully disable many of the "hidden" functions of the latest Firefox editions, yet I can't find a definite answer nor instructions to fully address this accusation nor can I find complete and full details/ instructions on how to completely uninstall all data connected to Firefox. I have followed what I can find so far and when I reinstall, all my personal data is there including bookmarks etc... so something isn't getting done...
    2.) Whomever is in charge of "security"(Villalobos?) keeps disabling my plugins which is keeping me from using FF to some extent and may or may not be keeping the videos from playing while on-line and who knows what else, but as I have stated before I'm against anyone doing anything for any reason under the Hitler/Stalin-esque ideology that "the ends do justify the means", for example:
    ''Java Plugin 7 update 12 to 15 (click-to-play), Windows has been blocked for your protection." Why was it blocked?
    Old versions of the Java plugin are potentially insecure and unstable. All users are strongly recommended to update on our plugin check page.
    Who is affected? All users who have these versions of the plugin installed in Firefox.
    What does this mean? The problematic add-on or plugin will be automatically disabled and no longer usable.
    When Mozilla becomes aware of add-ons, plugins, or other third-party software that seriously compromises Firefox security, stability, or performance and meets certain criteria, the software may be blocked from general use. For more information, please read this support article.
    Blocked on February 25, 2013. View block request.''
    So as a last resort I'm going to downgrade to something that the socialist people who are now making decisions for the masses that use the newer editions of Firefox can't control (hopefully) and manipulate against my (our) will.
    So I need your help cor-el to be able to remove ALL files/instructions/data in order to downgrade without anything "new" being left behind after uninstalling, presuming you know how to accomplish this and will share it with me and everyone else who wants to continue to use Firefox without someone else deciding what we can and can't do with it.(it is still open-source right?)
    3.) I use my computer and browser for my business, I can't afford spending all this time and trouble trying to undo what Jorge Villalobos( and those who think as he does) continue to do, apparently believing that it's ok to cost me (us) time and money in the name of "protection", he really doesn't get it, and I'm done putting up with socialists (or control freaks pretending to be socialists) trying to run my computer. Take a friggin' Philosophy/Logic class and learn why the ends NEVER justify the means Jorge....
    4.) This is as plain as it gets Jorge et al.: MY Computer, My Choice!...
    5.) So what do you say cor-el, will you help me in this?

  • Switched to Firefox, ok.How stop some sites still opening in Safari?

    After years with painfully sllow Safari i switched this year to Firefox which runs fast, ok.
    But now just certain of my old sites I USED to visit in Safari now open that way when I hit automatic links in email.
    Example: I have long subscribed to a online magazine with lots of articles. They send me frequent email describing their articles with a link to each one. My old mac is used to opening these links in Safari, my old disfavored browser. But I want it to openn themm in the faster Firefox?
    Maybe I should just delete or trash my old Safari application totally?
    Why do I keep it? MMaybe sentimental. Maybe think someday I'll need it?
    Should II keep it?
    How do i redirect these links thru my current favored browser, and not older browsers?
    Thanks everybody for your help.
    Thanks again.
