Firefox comments

Anyone have a clue why I can enter blog comments with no problem using Safari, but get an error message "We're sorry. We are having a problem processing your request." using Firefox (v. 2.0.04)? Using iweb 1.1.2... thanks for any help.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Answered in a related thread by user "kojava"--Firefox (and probably other browsers) requires using "iWeb" in URL, rather than "iweb". Would never have tracked that down myself!

Firefox 33.0 lags in text typing/ selecting/ deleting & switching tabs

After an automatic update from FF 32.0.3 to FF 33.0 on 17 Oct 2014, there had been a severe browser lag. Each user action or input results in a lag lasting 1–5 secs each, making the browser very difficult & unpleasant to use.
<ul>
<li>Typing Text: 1–2 secs before each letter appears</li>
<li>Highlighting Text (self-typed & web-rendered text): 2–3 secs before desired text is highlighted, & only partially (eg. For "impossible", can only highlight "imposs" or "ssible")</li>
<li>Deleting Text: 1–2 secs before each letter gets deleted</li>
<li>Switching Between Tabs: 2–5 secs for switch</li>
<li>Webpage Scrolling: 1–2 secs for each turn (for mouse wheel) or down-swipe (for touchpad)</li>
</ul>
All of the above issues occur everytime despite system restart, having only 1–2 tabs open, & even when FF is the only application running. I have not encountered the aforementioned problems in FF 32.0.3 & earlier FF versions, or in other browsers.
Other than FF being automatically updated to FF 33.0 on 17 Oct 2014, there was no other change (ie. no application install/ uninstall, no Windows update) that day or the preceding few days.
The lag disappears if FF 33.0 is run in safe mode with all add-ons disabled. But testing with add-ons disabled one by one does not isolate which add-on (if any) might be involved.
<ul>
<li>Laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad Y460</li>
<li>OS: Windows 7 SP 1</li>
<li>Display Adapters: ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650 (driver: 8.702.5.0 latest version), Intel HD Graphics (driver: 8.702.5.0 latest version)</li>
<li>Firefox User Experience: FF 33.0 (very bad lag), FF 32.0.3 & earlier (all function ok)</li>
<li>Browser Add-ons & Plugins: All latest versions</li>
</ul>
What I eventually did (a few days before reporting here after registering a user account):
Since I was unable to resolve the problem, I performed a successful system restore, but the rolled-back browser (FF 32.0.3) was unable to launch (error code: "can't load XPCOM"). Subsequently, I resorted to installing a fresh copy of FF 32.0.3.
<hr>
Since 17/18 Oct 2014, I have encountered a couple of reports about similar lag issues in FF 33.0 (& possibly since FF 32.0.* for some users). The collective symptoms & feedback suggest that it is probably not add-ons causing the issue, but some newly-created incompatibility or conflict with certain (or combinations of) display/ graphics adapter(s). So far, the reported affected adapters that I have come across include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD5000 series, Intel HD Graphics, & NVIDIA GeForce.
The temporary workaround appears to be disabling the hardware acceleration option. But since this is not a long-term solution, I am holding off updating to FF 33.0 (again) or to the just-released FF 33.0.1, until this issue is officially recognized & resolved.
Note:- Some users with text/ tab lagging problems also reported slowness wrt video &/or flash pages, which I can't verify because I had not tested FF 33.0 on video/ flash pages before reinstalling FF 32.0.3. (The text, tab & scrolling lags are enough to keep me away from browsing anything but the most basic webpages.)

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar
Select '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.

Installing Firefox on Solaris.

Hello all, I am sorry if this is not the right place to post, but I am extremely new to Solaris and I need help.
I recently installed Solaris 10 on VMWare to check it out and when I fired Firefox up it told me it was out-of-date and that I should upgrade and so I got the tar.bz2 package and I wasn't sure how to install and so I googled... I am quite familiar with using the Terminal in Ubuntu, but of course, they aren't the same. I found a page with someone explaining how to upgrade and I followed his steps by step and when I tried to open it would start to open and then just quit with no error messages or anything. Can someone lead me in the right direction of uninstalling, re installing or upgrading or whatever I need to do to fix this? Maybe a good quick guide for terminal commands as well? Thank you for any help.

Hi, I followed the instruction below and it worked for me ::
This directory contains Solaris builds of Firefox 3.6.16,
which are contributed by Oracle Solaris Desktop Beijing Team.

extract the tarball, it's not recommended to just overwrite the old
firefox directory.
* Pkgadd format
1, First uncompress the zip file
$ bzip2 -d <zip file basename>.bz2
You will get a package datastream file named <zip file basename>
2, Install the package as root
# pkgadd -d ./<zip file basename>

Comment verifier la disponibilites des mises à jour

mon antivirus me demande de verifier la disponibilites des mises àjour chez firefox comment faire

Does that refer to updating Firefox (Aide > Rechercher des mises à jour) or updating your Anti-virus software ?
For the later you will need to visit the website of that AV software or visit their forum if they have a forum.
If you already updated then you may need to allow the new Firefox version in your firewall (pare-feu).
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

It seems like I now will have to switch to Chrome or IE in order to be able to interact with youtube videos? When I try to save a video to a play list I get a r

Just started having issues when I use youtube. According to what I am hearing about this It seems like I now will have to switch to Chrome or IE in order to be able to interact on youtube ? Is that true? When I try to save a video to a play list I created, I get a red warning pop bar up that says "Invalid Request" and it will not let me do it anymore. Also, I can no longer post a comment on video's that I view either. Do you know what is causing this and is there a fix, without having to switch to Google Chrome of IE?

According to some forum posts, this is a side effect of one or more downloaders, such as Download Helper. You either can disable that add-on while this is worked out (assuming no update has yet been issued) or try modifying one of its preferences in the about:config preference editor.

Not displaying website fonts properly

I asked about this on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1o26ar/let_sites_use_their_own_fonts_but_make_exceptions/
Here's a summary: I used custom fonts instead of letting each website display their own. This led to sites like Github not displaying some icons. I enabled the option to let sites use their own fonts, and the icons in Github are fixed, but I have another problem:
http://i.imgur.com/1q1WiEh.png
That is most certainly NOT the website's custom font. It's HelveticaNeue-LightExt for some reason.Reddit suggested I use a script with Greasemonkey, but I like to keep my addons at the necessary minimum, and I know there's something weird going on here. If I use another profile, such as with Tor, the sites display just fine. In fact the first time I tested it with Tor, I restarted my regular Aurora session and the websites displayed proper fonts. A few minutes later, and for no apparent reason, they were back to HelveticaNeue.
Basically, I want to let sites display their custom fonts properly, without the need of an add on, and without losing my current profile.

After several minutes, the solid blue bar at the very top goes light blue and 'freezes' until I click on the bar. Then it's restored. This is constant. How do I fix it?

The dark blue bar will eventually go to a light blue, the mouse arrow disappears, and all is 'frozen' until I manually click on the blue bar. Then, it's back to normal and the bar turns dark blue. Many minutes elapse then it repeats over and over. What setting is there to fix this?

Does this still happen if you start Firefox with '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes|extensions disabled]]'''?
[http://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/gq288/double_window_does_anyone_else_have_that_problem/ This page] has a report from another user with the same problem, who says the problem went away after disabling extensions.

Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.

If it happens again then try to reload the website or clear the cache and the cookies from that website.
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

I clicked on Firefox's "save password" on a blogsite, now I can't "comment" on that site, I'm caught in a loop, keep getting logged out of that site when I try to comment, but not a problem when I try Explorer.

When I navigate to the page to view comments and leave a comment myself, the comments appear but the link to leave a comment is missing, and my username and password is pre-populated in those fields (presumable by the Firefox "save password" program)on that "comment" page. When I click "submit" to log in again, I am logged in but redirected back to the front page. When I click on the page that allows me to leave a comment, I get kicked out again. I'm caught in a loop.
I do not have this problem when I exit Firefox and open Internet Explorer and go to that blog site, although the username and password fields are automatically populated when I type the first digit of my username, probably because Firefox is still operating in the background on my computer.
I tried clearing two hours of recent history, as that was the timeline when I clicked on "Save Password" from the pop up box, but it didn't help.

When I'm in Yahoo news comments, WaterFox keeps interrupting me with a survey about FireFox. Then I can't get back to where I was. Help?

Actually, I'm using WaterFox 28.0, but that wasn't an option.
I try to access my comments to Yahoo news stories. I may be in the middle of posting a comment, or just running through them to see how people have responded. WaterFox suddenly interrupts me with a survey about FireFox. It interrupts what I'm doing, and afterward the only way back to the place where I was is to start at the top of the comments again and search for it. If I was posting, either my post is lost entirely, or it posted in incomplete form.
I've tried answering the survey in the hopes that it will go away, but it keeps showing up. It's exceedingly annoying, and, much as I love WaterFox I'm considering going with Chrome or Torch instead.
I have WaterFox set to block pop-ups, but apparently WaterFox doesn't think that applies to itself.
Does ANYONE know how to make this go away?

You have a bad extension loaded into Firefox.
*MediaPlayerplus
Remove this by going to [[Image:new fx menu]] > Add-ons > Extensions
Uninstall anything you don't recognize from your control panel. (Start > Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
You will also want to run ADW Cleaner to remove any remnants of the extension

Firefox froze a webpage, and I want to recover the text I wrote in the comment box on the page.

I wrote a long thing in a comment box at the www.rollingstone.com website using Firefox for macbook as the browser. Typing into the comment box was going slowly and a then a window popped up saying "WARNING: Unresponsive script" in bold and then below it it says "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue." Then below that it says: "Script: http://www.rollingstone.com/assets/js/built/desktop.bundle.js:185" Then there are 3 buttons:"Debug script", "Stop script", or "Continue", none of which respond. I think the text I entered is still there on the page if I could break this window. I am wondering if it is possible to recover the text I wrote in the box?
The Debugger came on at the bottom of the page, but the window of the rollingstone page won't move so I can't bring it up to see most of the debugger. It looks like the script is some "RubiconAdServing."
I downloaded a hxD editor, but I just get stuff on the right about the URL. In the advice I was given on another site, it says that I should be able to recover the text this way. Maybe I am clicking on the wrong thing to open with the Hex editor.
There were no things in the upper left of my macbook window like 'file' for Firefox, but now they are there but not responding. Firefox is totally not responding, but there are a lot of other firefox browser windows minimized that are open and still at the bottom of the screen, but also not responding. How do you get into Firefox and recover the text? While I was writing the text on the Rolling Stone website, the writing within the tab would show that it had to connect to the internet to enter the text. When I went to the site I entered the text, it was not saved on the site. I can see some of the text I wrote on the frozen Firefox screen, but nothing moves. I am sure the text I wrote it still there if I could get through. How do I get into the Firefox webpage? All the other applications are working on my MacBook.

Try the following:
#Open the Mac Activity Monitor
#End the plugin-container process(es)
Now the page should respond again, but you will need to reload the page in order for it to work again, so copy your comment.

Firefox 4 seems to action on some html tags that are included within a html comment tag which it should not.

Consider the following html code where I open a textarea and include a comment tag within the textarea. Within the comment tag (which Firefox 4 should ignore) I've included a close textarea tag. Firefox 4 (unlike FF3 and IE) closes the textarea.
The following code is also available at
http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/caa/ffbug/index.html
We are about to start a textarea....
<pre><nowiki><textarea rows='20' cols='40'>
Here is the textarea.
Inside these comment blocks I'll put a close textarea tag which Firefox should ignore but does not.


</textarea>
</nowiki></pre>
This code should be outside the textbox.

I can no longer make comments on Facebook: I upgraded to Firefox 4.0, but then realized it didn't support my favorite add-on, so I switched back to Firefox 3.6.17. Please, any suggestions?

-This happens on Firefox on BOTH my pc & mac
-I CAN make comments on Safari & Chrome
-I have already emptied cache, cookies & disabled add-ons. None of this worked.

I discovered that I can comment when I click through a notification, but still can't make comments from the news feed or on my wall.
I've done all the suggested troubleshooting: Disabled all plug-ins & extensions, cleared cache, cookies & recent history, checked for malware, checked flash & Javascript. What am I missing? I can comment while on Chrome or Safari ... but I prefer Firefox! Any ideas?

Firefox freezes when there are pop up boxes or any box you have to click on to type in information e.g Facebook comments, Firefox About window

I have both the latest Firefox 3.6.12 and Adobe Flash. Firefox will freeze up for no apparent reason. It's most commonly happened when there's a box that needs text information adding into it (like the comments box on Facebook pages) or when a smaller window opens up like the save file/open with box, or even the About Firefox window. When this happens, I cannot enter text into the boxes or close the boxes or Save/Open file. The main browser window stays "greyed out" at the top, like it's inactive and I cannot type into the URL bar. Nor can I close the window, I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to close the program and try again. THe only thing that's changed recently was the updates for both Firefox and Adobe Flash to the latest versions.

I do not have that box checked... so now what?
Thanks
