Firefox cannot open pictures in F/B, but Internet Explorer does. Why?

While surfing Facebook.com I was unable to view pictures on any sites I visited while using Firefox 3.6.13. I exited Firefox and opened Internet Explorer 8.0.6+, and all photos opened without any trouble. How can I view pictures on Facebook.com while using Firefox?

It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right-click context menu while saving an image.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail, but Internet Explorer Does

Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail - any email, but Internet Explorer does.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The past few days, not exactly sure when, but recently.

Hello John.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

You can also check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

I cannot open any emails in my Yahoo email (IE8 does) - why?

First of all, I can open my Yahoo emails on my laptop which uses Firefox, and on my Kindle. But on my PC they just will not open with Firefox! They do open on my PC with IE8. I was using version 28.0 but reinstalled Firefox 28.0 to no avail. Any ideas for me? I do not want to switch to IE as my default browser!

Hello,
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.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Why doesn't Firefox run an adobe flash player slide show (no arrows to move to next/previous slide), but internet explore does?

When I try to run a slide show in Firefox, the first slide displays but the arrows to move to next/previous slide do not appear. When I try in Internet Explorer, the arrows appear. Flash Player is enabled in Firefox. There must be another setting I need to adjust. I am running Windows 7. I don't see how to access Tools menu item in Firefox. I don't see where I can check my Firefox version. It is the current version as is Flash Player.

Unable to print anything off internet w/file-print/nothing happens/but internet explorer does work/but I use firefox more/please help?

when I find something on internet/e-mail/and I go to push on file/scoll down to print/all that happens is nothing.but when I;m on internet explorer it works ok<I use firefox all the time though/is there some kind of setting that I need to set to be able to use my printer on firefox?

Try configuring the printer. You can usually access the printer setup menu by clicking Print on a web page, then click "Properties" when your printer options appear.
Set the page size to A4 in there and maybe choose other settings such as those I've ringed in red in the screenshot. This is my own printer.

On one site, Mozilla Firefox doesn't remember my Password any more, but Internet Explorer does.

Yesterday, I accessed the website for my bank. I entered the account #, then the password. I received an error message on the password, although I was almost sure the password was correct. I clicked "don't remember password" and was given the very password I had entered. I was really puzzled, but tried it again. It still didn't work. I then tried Internet Explorer at the advice of my bank rep. I created a new password on Internet Explorer, and was able to get right through to the website. Later, I tried Mozilla Firefox again with the original password. Again, the password was not accepted, but when I asked to access the correct password, I was given the new password I had entered on Internet Explorer. I'm very confused. Please help!

Firefox won't let me pay bills but Internet Explorer will. E.g. 24ace.co.uk

I start to fill in details to pay a bill on a supplier's website. Firefox never gives me a successful completion. On some websites, I get as far as the "VISA Verify" last stage and then get a message that there has been a problem. On 24ace website, I only get as far as choosing to pay by Debit Card when the process stops before I get to the stage of entering the card details. Internet Explorer works first time every time. My operating system is VISTA32

Drakon may be thinking some new fixes in the beta version of Firefox might have fixed this particular problem. Although I am not that confident after using many versions of Firefox and the different types of builds they have (nightly, beta and release).
My advice is to stay on the current Firefox you have. I don't think there's any immediate solution to your problem as some websites are incompatible with Firefox and must update the broken website code on their site.
I'll try a test purchase on http://24ace.co.uk when I can and see if I get the same problem as you.
One easy thing to try is clearing your cookies and cache to see if that helps.
To clear cache and cookies:
* Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history
If no Firefox button is shown, go to Tools > Clear recent history.
* Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
* Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
* From the details list, check '''Cache''' and '''Cookies''' and uncheck everything else.
* Now click the '''Clear now''' button.

Have you tried checking your antivirus settings for access to the internet, more details are in the [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]] article.

Firefox worked on my laptop in UK, but here in USA, it does not work on my Brighthouse Wireless Network, but Internet explorer does. What setting do I ned to change?

As above, I have also tried downloading a later version, also tried downloading Google Chrome, none work. I have tried using my laptop at several different wifi connections in USA and Firefox does not work on any. So it is not a wifi set up problem in our home in USA. I am running X.P and I.E 6. When I downloaded I.E 8 that would not work either, so I had to re set the laptop back to a date a week ago.
Unable to access certain bank sites with I.E 6, that is why I use Firefox. Any suggestions appreciated.
This is the message I get

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

Firefox no longer connects but internet explorer does .how do I restore firefox

Was using firefox for a long time.Yesterday it disappeared and the only way I can get on the is via explorer .

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Cannot open pictures in Window 8.1...getting message 'the remote procedure call failed". What is the solution?

cannot open pictures in Window 8.1...getting message 'the remote procedure call failed". What is the solution?
I recently bought a new HP computuer and uploaded Window 8.1. I then transfered photo files from old computer to new computer using a portable storage drive.
When trying to view the photos, a message pops up showing a file path...and the message 'the remote procedure call failed'. Photos are in jpeg format.
Please let me know what I can do to view photos?

What program you use to view these photos? Choose another app to view these photos
for a test.
This issue only occurred when you view photo? What is the result if we connect the
portable storage drive to other computer (if possible)?
Run sfc/scannow to check and fix if there are some missing or corrupted system files.
Check the event viewer to see the detailed information of this issue.

Firefox cannot open pdf

I have a problem opening pdfs from certain websites.
This problem occured when I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.
I usually opened pdf-files from Firefox in the adobe reader directly (not using the plugin). Now this does not work any more.
When having set, that pdfs should be opened in the adobe reader nothing happens, when I click on the pdf-link. If pdfs should be opened using the adobe acrobat (in firefox) it works in most cases. But unfortunately it does not work everywhere. In some cases a new (empty) firefox window pops up, but nothing else happens.
Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?
By now I tried re-installing firefox, as well as the adobe reader, I disabled and enabled the plugins sequentially, but I did not find any solution!

So far Ive found a solution for the cases where the pdf is not opened. Its not perfect, but at least it works
If I open the pdf in a new tab (right click on pdf-icon, then "open link in a new Tab") it works.
Hope this helps...
