Firefox 6 Won't display add ins window

I upgraded from 5 to 6. Now when I click on Tools/add-ons, a blank window opens and it stays clocking without ever displaying the add-ons. I have reinstalled V5. All the add-on work fine in V5. I am not going to uninstall add-ons to see if it causes this issue. The Firefox philosophy of breaking add-ons with each release and having authors re-write them is crazy. There have been 3 releases in 3 months - 2 in less than a month.

I can't tell how far the player gets in loading. All I see is a blank white block of space where the player would normally be loaded. I used the term 'embedded' as that seemed the correct term to use. If incorrect, that's only due to my unfamiliarity with the correct terminology of having a flash video within a web page. BTW, I neglected to mention that the same page that Firefox has problems with is displayed fine in Safari. Screen grab attached showing blank space where Safari displays a functional plug-in.

I need to replace firefox 4.0.1 with firefox 3.6 because my add ins don't work with 4.0

Question
i need to replace firefox 4.0.1 with firefox 3.6 because my add ins don't work with 4.0 but will work with 3.6. How do I accomplish this?

Any particular add-on? Maybe there's an updated version or substitute?
If you can't find a solution with Firefox 4, here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 4.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: I haven't actually tried this myself!

Firefox sporadically won't display flash embedded within a web page.

I have Fiorefox 28.0, running on a Mac with Mavericks 10.9.2. Sporadically, Firefox won't display an embedded flash video. I tried running Firefox in Safe Mode (all add-ons disabled). Same thing occurs - won't display the embedded flash on some webpages.
Here is an example webpage in which this problem occurs:
http://www.deadline.com/2014/04/nbcs-jimmy-fallon-and-seth-meyers-welcome-stephen-colbert-to-cbs-video/
I couldn't determine how to attach a file of a screen grab or I would have done so.
Thanks.

Why won't Firefox suddenly won't display SoundSlides files -- new and ones displayed in the past? I've cleared history, cookies, etc. Also deleted and reinstall

Firefox will no longer display our university news website news.wsu.edu correctly, AND it will no longer display SoundSlides files that we have posted. See our front page at news.wsu.edu as well as SoundSlides example at http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1
Have tried deleting and reinstalling Firefox. Deleting all history, cookies, etc.

It works ok for me but then I am not using Flash 11.3 on Windows.
I can see http://news.wsu.edu/ ok
When I try http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1. I get a mainly blank page with an error message
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07' 
Error converting data type char to int. 
/Includes/SiteIncludes.asp, line 30
Possibly the link is not quite correct. (trailing dot ?)
Selecting a "sound slide" does however work ok for me I get a slide show with very loud music.

'''It appears it works for me. Possibly you have a problem because of Flash Player 11.3 use. You may find it works if you downgrade to FlashPlayer 11.2 or 10.3''' There have been known issues with FlashPlayer on Windows Firefox systems. Developers from Flash & Firefox have been working on the problem, but despite new updates to both FlashPlayer and Firefox in recent days, problems may still be occurring.
Note also there is a related but separate problem on some systems with RealPlayer. If you have Real Player installed please say so, and especially mention if that includes video download or recording options.
The current standard response to the Flash Player 11.3 (Windows Firefoz) problem is as follows, (but advice may change over the next few days):
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

This is the sort of thing that your own IT department may well be able to help offer advice on, and if it is the problem I suspect, then it is likely to impact on many site users.

What can you do to access Password options in the Security window if your Firefox browser won't display the options?

I want to stop and prevent my Firefox browser from saving website passwords, which I understand can be done using the Security window.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/security-and-passwords-settings?esab=a&s=passwords&r=1&as=s
Unfortunately, once opened, the Security window doesn't display the password options check boxes for me even though that's what the support site says the browser should do it. Neither can I get the Security window to extend to display the other potential options, which leads to me think there aren't any other options.
Any ideas what I can do about this problem? I'm running Mac OS 10.8.5 and Firefox 30.0. Thanks for any advice!

(The following definitely relevant to Windows, but I'm not sure about Mac)
Another thing Safe Mode does is ignore the localstore.rdf file, which contains toolbar/window/dialog layout information and sometimes can become corrupted. To eliminate localstore.rdf as a factor, you can rename the file and customize from scratch.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (classic menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste '''about:support''' in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show in Finder" button.
Leaving that window open, switch back over to Firefox and Exit/Quit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Start Firefox up again. Any improvement?

Desktop won't display after login window

Hi,
I'm trying to help my sister in-law with her computer (PowerBook G4). She claimed it was having a lot of problems and thought a clean install would fix things. However she had lost her install discs, and now I've seemed to make things worse.
I started by trying to back up her computer - copying the hard drive to an external HD. However I kept getting a -36 Error. I then connected her PowerBook G4 to my MacBook Pro (10.5.8 2.33 Intel) via Firewire and in Target mode used Disk Utility to make a disk image. Unfortunately I got the -36 Error again. I Repaired the hard drive with disk utility, but it said everything was fine. Then I read on the forum that the -36 Error meant that it was a corrupt file that was causing the issue. Since it always errored out in the same area, I simply deleted the folder in that area. After that, the disk image worked.
(This part is bad - I know now, but didn't when I did it:) I then put in the gray install CD from my MacBook Pro (Intel) into her PowerBook G4. I opened the system preferences and changed the startup disk from "Macintosh HD" to my install disk. I restarted the computer... it did not boot up. I connected the two laptops again and force restart in target mode. I was able to eject the CD so that when it restarted again, it reverted back to the "Macintosh HD" This is when I discovered that the gray discs are specific to computer and my plan would not work.
However, now her computer boots up to the Login window as normal... but when you login... the "blue desktop image with design" displays, but no icons appear. The computer hard drive spins, the monitor will go to sleep and wake up, the trackpad will move the arrow, but no icons and now menus?? I've left it overnight to see if it eventually will change, but nothing changes. If I press keys, the first few won't do anything, but it quickly gets to a point where it just beeps at me each time I press a key.
I can sign in using single user and already ran the fsck that is mentioned throughout the forums. It (like the disk utility) finds no errors. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi BD & RC,
The new user reset worked great to allow me to login again. Instead of doing a clean install, I just went through her applications and deleted ones that I thought could be suspect for some of the issues she was having. It seems to be running fine.... with one exception... the Airport won't work.
When I went into the Network settings, it was stuck in a continuous loop with the error "Another application has changed your network settings." I saw BD's help on another post to go into security and check "Require Password to unlock each secure system preference" to break the loop ( huge THANKS!!). After trying to set up multiple new locations, it finally dawned on me that the Airport was not an option. When went into System Profiler and chose Airport Card, it says "No information found."
So long story short... it appears that with all the little issues going on on this computer, the monster issue wouldn't have been solved by a clean install anyway (you were right RC)... the Airport Express card must have died.
I guess she'll either need to start connecting with an ethernet cable or buy a new airport extreme card.
Thanks for all your help guys!

[SOLVED] Xmobar won't display over app windows on Xmonad

Xmobar will not start automatically or display over top of application windows in Xmonad. It does launch if I explicitly launch it from an xterm. However, it only shows up on empty workspaces. It doesn't matter if an application window was opened before or after the launching of xmobar. It will always cover it up.
My relevent installed packages are xmobar, xmonad, xmonad-contrib, hsetroot, some gtk user applications, X, and the free ATI video drivers. I've pastebin'd my bash_profile, .xinitrc, .xmonad.hs, and .xmobarrc. I also included the output of pacman -S xmonad-contrib as it complained about some doc files missing.
.bash_profile: http://pastebin.com/zAVt2jCa
.xinitrc: http://pastebin.com/HzCmvTgD
.xmonad.hs: http://pastebin.com/6vt7qK3m
.xmobarrc: http://pastebin.com/GqpXeuSc
pacman -S xmonad-contrib: http://pastebin.com/wtN2S533
I don't know any Haskell, and I'm an Arch n00b, so I've mostly gone off templates and some irc help. So if there's anything utterly silly about my setup, let me have it. =P Thanks for the help guys.
edit: Just a thought: When I was running Debian, I actually had the same exact problem. However, I was using a completely different users xmonad.hs and xmobarrc. At the time I chalked it up to gdm or nautilus or something from GNOME running in the background. But since I'm having the same problem on an entirely different machine with an entirely differnet users config files and probably different versions of everything.. could it be video card related?
Last edited by drvladimirtzu (2012-09-29 07:57:16)

So it turns out, I had xmonad.hs as ~/.xmonad.hs not ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs... Pretty embarassing. But I'll resist the temptation to delete the thread in hopes someone gets a chuckle out of it. In my defence, I did figure it out all on my own.

Lion won't display multiple application windows at once

I apologize in advance if someone else has already posted this problem, but I've searched and searched and found nothing on it. It's a hard one to describe, so bear with me.
Basically, since installing Lion (currently 10.7.4) on my home iMac, I've been unable to have windows for more than one application appear at one time. For the most part, applications run just fine. But say I have Adobe Illustrator open and want to drag an image from a folder in Finder into my document. The second I select Finder from the Dock, Illustrator disappears. Click back on Illustrator from the dock, and it reappears, but now my Finder window has gone AWOL. Seems like it's all still there, just becomes invisible. At no time will it display more than one application. Two windows of the same application? No problem. But any time I switch between apps, it shows only the most recently selected app, regardless of what's actually running on my machine. Makes dragging and dropping from one app to another near impossible.
I've read about problems regarding apps becoming invisible, but virtually all posts say they also become unresponsive (ie. don't come back at all when reselected from the Dock), and that quitting and restarting the app generally fixes the problem. This isn't the case for me. Quitting and restarting does nothing. Even a fresh install of Lion did nothing. I find it hard to imagine this could be a hardware issue though. My iMac works perfectly otherwise, and this behaviour is just bizarre. Consequently, I haven't ruled out the possibility of demonic possesion, but I figured if anyone can help solve this riddle, it's all you lovely people.
As for my current settings, I have no desktops/spaces setup (aside from the one), and have turned off all associated features for Mission Control in the System Preferences – more out of an attempt to simplify in the hopes that it would help than out of any dislike for the features. The iMac itself is a 20-inch, early 2008 with 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo and 4 GB SDRAM.
Really don't know where else to turn. I've got my finger crossed that the problem will fade into memory once Mountain Lion is released, but that leaves me high and dry until then (which ***** the big one). Any help would result in my undying gratitude! Heck, help me solve this and I'll mail you a beer!

That sounds like somehow the Single Application Mode has been turned on. I don't know the Terminal command to turn it off, but the free 3rd-party application TinkerTool has it.
For some reason, it's on the Dock page:
If it's checked, remove it.
If it's not checked, check it, Relaunch, then remove the check.

Firefox 21 won't open mp3s in Windows Media Player

I have set the program to file type option to both "windows media player" and "ask" and Firefox still opens the mp3 in a generic player in a new tab. MP3s played in the Windows Media Player popup window (after downloading) fine in the last version of Firefox 20.X. I've tried disabling the Microsoft WMP plugin (the only way to stop them from opening in a new tab using Quicktime was to disable the Quicktime plugin).
The MP3 MIME settings in Quicktime have all been unchecked and the Windows extension settings all are set to Windows Media Player as the default player for MP3s.

Great worked for me too, but.............its a win 10 how do i update to the latest version

Although it worked perfectly up to the auto-update to 3.6.13, Firefox now won't display ANY website, displaying (Untitled) on each tab.

IE still works fine. Firefox was great until 30 minutes ago when it so kindly updated itself, and now it won't show me any websites. I've cleared all history, checked the proxy settings, to no avail. Every tab shows (Untitled).

Small fonts for Firefox 35.0.1 display badly after Windows Update 2/10/15

After Microsoft did an update (image attached) the display of many small fonts is nasty (image attached). I see it in no other programs including IE. Not all fonts are bad, just some small ones. Everything on your page here looks fine.
Thanks,
Chris

hi chris, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
<blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>

Mail won't display the viewer window, and it will not close (force quit does not show in menu bar). Can't shut down to reboot because the open mail program prevents it. Any advice?

Mail does not show the viewer window even when new viewer window is cliced. I tried to close mail and reopen, but it will not close, and force quit option does not appear in window bar. I tried to shut down the computer and reboot, but it cannot close because of open mail program it says. Help!

Many thanks. Once I was able to close mail, it reopened and behaved quite normally. Thank you. I'll remember the option quit for force quite!

Firefox 19 won't display my pdf links and images

I have a pdf uploaded to the site, when opening in Firefox 19, my buttons with hyperlinks don't show up, some images are showing either.
I use simple buttons with rollover stage and a hyperlink, the buttons were made with text and background color, they show fine in pdf when using other browsers and older versions of Firefox.
Here is the url with the pdf for reference:
http://teen.idrivesafely.com/how-to-get-your-learners-permit.pdf
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thanks

Thanks for your response, the thing is I don't want the end user to have to go through these steps in order to be able to see my pdf file as it renders in older versions of Firefox.
What I've noticed is the use of buttons and interactivity is not been rendered, so it doesn't even show up in the page. The drop shadows applied within InDesign are also not been properly render by the browser, making the background of the image surrounded by dark background.
I have temporarily fixed the problem by getting rid of my drop shadows and using regular hyperlinks on text instead of interactive buttons.
Hope this issue gets fixed, since interactive pdfs is widely used today.
Thanks

Firefox 22 won't display embedded font

Good evening, all. This problem is similar to a problem discussed here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956597), but since his situation does not exactly fit mine, and none of the solutions seem to work for me, I'm opening my own thread. I am a co-webmaster of a website which utilizes an embedded Burmese font, which for ease, is managed by Wordpress, and the font is also embedded via a Wordpress plugin specifically designed for embedding Burmese fonts.
Ever since I switched my Firefox from version 18.0 to 22.0, I've noticed that the font (Myanmar3) is no longer embedded inside Firefox. It works fine in Chrome, and even in *gulp* IE. I've also tried the Android version of Firefox, and the font loads there as well, but for some reason, in my browser, unless I have "Myanmar3" selected in my Preferences, I am not able to see the font embedded, and instead, another Burmese unicode font is used in its place.
I tried troubleshooting by using the WebDeveloper panel and I found this error:
[21:33:39.682] downloadable font: no supported format found (font-family: "Myanmar3" style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:1)
source: (end of source list) @ http://mmwebfonts.comquas.com/fonts/?font=myanmar3
However, when I go to that website, and find the *.eot file used to embed the font, the file exists, and there is font data inside of it, so I don't understand why my Firefox and the Firefox on another computer in this house can not properly load the embedded font. Is it because the *.eot file is not on my own server? I fail to see how that is the reason when Firefox could load it before.
Thanks in advance for answering.

I think the problem may be the use of the *.eot file. I checked with other embedded fonts on that server, and if a use a font that was uploaded as *.ttf, it now works on all browsers with no problems. However, any font that is auploaded with *.eot is not loaded properly, as shown in the WebDev panel. Any thoughts as to why this could happen?
