Firefox browser must be refreshed to log into and log out of Simple Machine Forum. No other browser does this.

I run a Simple Machines Forum (SMF) Whenever I log in or out of my forum using Firefox (Ver 4.0.1) my browser gets "hung up." As soon as I type username, password, and hit enter the forum goes to a white screen that just sits there. To force the page to load I have to hit refresh in my browser. The page then loads and I'm able to go on as usual. The same exact scenario happens when I try to log out of my forum. I hit logout and the page goes to the white screen. It sits there until I hit refresh in the browser and then it will log me out. This does not happen with logging in or out of the forum with any other browser. I've tested this issue in Internet Explorer, Safari, and Chrome. Logs me in and out with no issues. With Firefox I get stuck. Asked for help on the SMF forum. Other users have reported having this issue as well. Was advised to rename the forum cookie. Did that and it has not helped. I do believe the issue is with my particular install of Firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

You can check for problems with preferences.
Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

  • I am getting an alert in my Antivirus for Buffer Overflow whenever I launch or close my Firefox Browser. This has been happening I upgraded to the latest FF

    I am getting an alert in my Antivirus for Buffer Overflow whenever I launch or close my Firefox Browser. This has been happening since I upgraded to the Firefox 15. I didn't have this problem before. I having been using Firefox since many years & never faced such an issue. But this new issue has saddened me. Also whenever I close my Firefox browser the process is not getting ended in the Task Manager. When I try to launch again its throwing an alert saying that "the firefox is not responding. You must close the existing firefox process or else restart your system". Please debug this as I have been fellow open-source lover & would be happy if you guys release a fixed update & if no one else should starts facing this issue ever again. Thanks in Advance guys!!!

    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).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    I've partitoned Windows swell and it says the same thing? I'm trying to live capture from my Sony Camcorder through Elgato but I just get the above message?

    This means that the backups were made with a later version than the version currently on the phone. You will have to update the phone to 6.1.3 to be able to restore the backup. You can restore a backup made with an earlier version, but not with a later version.

  • Need to find out the traffic coming into and going out of ALSB

    Hello,
    I would like to know if there is a way to find out the traffic coming into and going out of ALSB (Number of Messages). Please let me know if i am not clear.
    Thanks,
    Varun

    I would like to know if there is a way to find out the traffic coming into and going out of ALSB (Number of Messages). Please let me know if i am not clear.There are two points. If you want to get aggregate traffic for all end-points in OSB, then out of box is not possible.It can be arrived at using monitoring capabilities.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/operations/monitoring.html
    If you are looking at the traffic at end-point level, then it is available when monitoring is enabled.

    I tried the same with FireFox version 3.0.5 and  get the same issue. I did not try to open any reports. But in the infoview first page, i can not see the tool bar from where you create a new report. 
    The error message i mentioned in the message is actually seen in the Error console from  Tools -> Error Console from the browser

  • I am unable to open my Firefox browser. This is the message I get "The procedure entry point js_NextActiveContext could not be located in the dynamic link library js 3250.dll." I really hate to lose my bookmarks.

    Being unable to open Firefox just started one day, unexpectedly. I had been on Firefox already that day. I've tried starting a Profile Manager but when I went to "run" and typed in "firefox.exe-ProfileManager" I got the exact same error message as seen above in my question.

    The updater may not have been able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
    You need to do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • GB 08-Importing mp3 file from media browser---does this affect source file?

    Hello again,
    Another question...
    I imported an mp3 from my iTunes folder into GB (to jam over). I did this via the media browser, and it came in fine. I next wanted to create a looped rhythm segment from that file to jam over. I know how to do this, and then add it as a loop to the library. However, does this alter the source file at all (in the iTunes folder)? Do I need to make a copy of this in the GB folder first before I start splicing? I think I read that GB will not alter files, just "regions" but I wanted to make sure.
    On a related note, does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)? So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
    Thanks!

    However, does this alter the source file at all
    no
    does GB point to a location for the source file (even if it's been spliced)?
    yes, and no. originally, yes, but once saved as a loop, that little clip is saved as it's own file to your lib
    So if I moved that iTunes folder would it be a problem?
    same as above. it will in the first case, won't in the second

  • When I install firefox version 4, it is in offline mode and I cannot open it. How do I get around this problem.

    when I install firefox version 4, it is in offline mode and I cannot open it.

    In version 3.6.17, click '''File''', then click '''Work Offline '''to remove the checkmark.
    In version 4.0.x right click a blank part of the Tab Bar and then click "Menu Bar". This will reinstate the text links. Then do the same as above.
    To revert to the layout without the text links, repeat the same steps.
    Sometimes, in FF4, you can hit the ALT key to toggle the text links on and off, but I've noticed in posts from other users that it doesn't always work.

  • Installed firefox on two machines and created sync account on one. The other one does not sync

    I just freshly installed the latest Firefox on two machines. Created a new account on one of them and started to download some add-ons and changed the preferences, then got to the other and signed in. It finished syncing but none of my changes were applied to the second machine.

    Right now the add-ons got synced but the customization I did to the looks of it did not.
    These customizations are: moving the home button right next to the back button and removing the search bar.
    Conclusion: it takes a while(about an hour!!!!!) to sync these stuff, at least that is what happened with me though my connection was normal and not slow at all.

  • My website in firefox browser does not disply the you tube or facebook links/feeds, shows fine in IE

    sorry - i've tried half a dozen times to load screenshots of 'the problem' nothing would load, not a word doc with the screenshots, not pngs, not jpgs, and trying to load actually crashed firefox at one point so - here's the problem but no supporting images...
    my website: www.pfment.com on the right panel has on top a you tube button, then a facebook feed and last, a place to subscribe to tipsheets. all was fine - i do not know when they stopped showing (in the ff browser) to be clear, the yt and fb parts no longer show at all, and the tipsheet subscribe is on top. if i select view in ie tab, it's still a no show, however, if i open the ie browser, chrome, etc, it shows correctly.
    i have emptied cache and cookies, no help.
    ideas? suggestions?
    thanks!
    cyd
    hmm, just tried to do the automatically add troublehooting info but it said no can do - problems at your end....will see if manual will work.

    sorry - we've been working on the website over the weekend so it isn't the same anymore because the person working on it already changed the facebook feed to some text and told me that we'll see about making it the way it was later, nevertheless, i absolutely do have screenshots- they simply would not load on the page to post the initial question.
    in the ff browser neither the yt widget or the fb 'feed' were showing, but the ie browser had them correctly displayed. apologies because as of right this minute the site won't look like that in any browser - with the messing about of the weekend it currently shows as in the 3rd screenshot - i put the windows next to each other and captured just the relevant part - on the left side is ie showing the yt widget and text for a fb link, but on the ff side, there's still no yt widget, it does show the text but ultimately the idea is to get it back to what it looks like in the second shot of the ie browser.
    i hope i didn't confuse things -
    and thank you VERY much for any help (i've looked at the question for websites don't appear as they should but clearing cache and cookies didn't help)

  • Firefox browser does not recognize Java plugin in 64 bit Linux

    I am running Firefox12 on RHEL5 with Java6u31 installed. Unfortunately firefox will not recognize the java plugin. I have tried linking it in the appropriate directory (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/760718?e=es&as=aaq) and I get nothing. The only feedback I seem to get is that when I go to this website: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ it tells me that Firefox has "disabled my version of Java because it is outdated" which is total BS because I have the latest version! Typing in "about:plugins" only shows the flash plugin (which is in the same directory !!!!)
    Java used to work in my browser and flash works fine and I've been trying for ages to get it to work again and I'm at a loss.
    Doesn't anyone else have this problem ??????????

    6.32 is the latest, check it in : [http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp Verify Java Version]
    if update to 6.32 probably you have no problem.
    thank you
    Please mark "Solved" the answer that really solve the problem, to help others with a similar problem.

  • MY windows based firefox browser does not work. I a get a blank firefox page that does not respond. I sending this message via my MAC

    This is with Firefox 16. The previous version worked just fine

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
