Firefox does not allow me to reply or send e-mails when browsing , if i click on a link to apply to a job it just opens new tabs until i force a shutdown on my pc
When trying to apply to jobs or respond to adds my firefox 4.0.1 just continuously opens new tabs until i am forced to manually shut down my pc , this was true in earlier versions of firefox also. I am forced to keep internet explorer and run their browser whenever their is a chance i may need to correspond and attach a resume. If i have an actual e-mail address from the employer i can avoid starting explorer by going to my e-mail inbox , but if i am given only a link to apply to i have to shutdown firefox and run explorer.
I just don't get it , firefox is brilliant and i do not care to run explorer at all , can anyone help me ??

Firefox does not allow my on-line bank account security phrase to be retained - why?
Hello,
I have successfully used MS Internet Explorer to log into my on-line bank account in the past. Since changing to Firefox my login process has become incumbered. The bank requires a security phrase as a part of an initial personal PC to bank account security setup measure, which security phrase information is supposed to be retained on my PC for subsequent logins into my on-line account. I still need to enter the usual username and password, but for some reason Firefox does not allow the security phrase information to be retained on my PC and so I have to enter the security phrase each time I log in. I called my bank's IT department and together we tried changing some Firefox settings, but none of them fixed this problem. I also have AVG and Super Antispyware loaded on this PC.
Do you have a solution to this problem?The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:

Firefox does not allow page re-directing for paypal payment
firefox does not allow page re-directing for paypal payment. How do I fix this problem. It occurs with several sites where it was not a previous problem. When I press "allow", I get returned to the very beginning of the order process.
I really appreciate your (spookily timely) help. Yes, I did try safe mode once.
The problem with testing this problem is that I have to have something in the cart to buy, and if it works I've bought it.
I was hoping to find that someone else had already done the logic and experimenting part, and the solution was just 'out there'. I did get one response (from Daz3d) that said Firefox had been having a problem with PayPal on their site, but no details.
And as soon as I buy what I need using a credit card, as far as they're concerned the problem is done. -

iCal does not allow me to edit "minutes" in the appointments. when i make an appointment it defaults it to xxhrs 08mins (example 16:08) how can i make an appointment for 16:00 or 15:30 hrs ...etc.
Hi,
You can change this in System Preferences, Language & Text.
Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats tab and change where it says Custom to your location. Then re-open iCal.
Let us know how it goes.

When I click on a link Firefox does not allow me to go to the link
When I click on a link Firefox does not go the link.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Along time ago.I think i've found how to fix this issue when it appears. Don't know what caused it to happen, but that's up to the devs.
In Thunderbird, you need to re-register http and https to make them open with Firefox (or open well with firefox in this case).
How to to this?
Well... open the about:config in thunderbird. You can achieve this by clicking configuration-editor in the advanced tab.
search for the strings: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Set both to "true".
The next time you click on a link from within Thunderbird, it will ask you to set wich program you'd like to open it with.
Be Aware now!!! Firefox may already be listed in there, but don't pick that one. instead... choose to browse for the app and point to the binairy/exe of firefox.
(for example: /usr/bin/firefox or c:/program files/mozilla/firefox.)
You will notice that firefox now does open up with the page you just clicked on.
If it doesn't right away... just restart thunderbird and check again.
Please respond if this works for you too on all platforms. It's more interesting to know it does than if it's not.

Hi,
Wondering if this is a bug - we have serveral different accepted domains, and our users within our org might have different primary SMTP domains - some @nwtraders.com and some @contoso.com - as examples.
We had a user today report an issue where they were trying to use the 'share calendar' button in Outlook 2010 and then typed in the SMTP address of someone in our org in the field of whom to share with, but that address had a different SMTP domain
than the user's (but still in our org). When she tried to send the sharing request she received a popup stating:
Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network:
<intended smtp address>: Your organization's policy does not allow you to share with this recipient.
I thought it might be related to freeform typing in the address - if I hand type out the address with a valid SMTP address within the same SMTP domain, and press send it works.
If I use the address picker, and pick the intended sharing recipient (who's has an SMTP domain that is different that the senders), it works fine. It only seems to have an issue when you manually type out the address and it's not in the same SMTP domain
as you....
Could this 'problem' be masked with setting up Sharing policy between all of our authoritative domains?
ThanksLooks like Microsoft has an answer as to whether this is to be expected: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983062/en-us In my research into this, the error you are receiving is a common thing people have run into and they are all using the solution MS lists
in their KB article. Hope that helps.

Firefox does not display the e with acute accent character correctly from a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_ca or fr_fr. However, it does it correctly when my browser language setting is fr. How do i get it to display e with acute accent and other iso8859 characters correctly in a javascript alert box when my browser language settings are fr_fr and fr_ca?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox openedUse Unicode (UTF-8) for those characters.
Then you will always be sure that they are displayed correctly. -
Firefox 4.0.1 does not allow me to reply or write emails in Hotmail
I can open Hotmail in Firefox 4.0.1 and open emails. I cannot reply to them: the reply email does not show a reply email address, and even if I enter it, I cannot type the body of the email in the textbox.
The same happens with a new email: I cannot type a message in the text area.Hotmail is rolling out a server change at their end which might be causing this problem. Mozilla has spoken to them about it and they are trying to fix it. I won't be able to provide a time estimate by when it will be solved but hotmail/mozilla is certainly looking at this issue.
I will let you know if get any updates! -
Firefox does not allow me to drag and drop files on FTP site anymore. It used to work before.
Hi. I have a Linux FTP server at a client's office. They used to use IE and I moved them to firefox. They could at one stage, drag and drop (upload) files and documents using only firefox and not a third party software. Somehow this stop working. Is there any setting in firefox that can be changed in order to allow drag and drop without using a third party software? This client is very fussy and does not want to use third party software, as the drag and drop worked before. This is their argument.
1- of course i know i have to accept the change, i just don't recall specifically whether or not iPhoto itself was one of the recent updates i accepted. lol
2-this is not true - a few years back, it was a 2 step process. Then it changed with one of the upgrades, and i have been able (as long as i selected 4x3 *book* as opposed to 4x3 *dvd*) to drag between orientations for the past few years - at LEAST 2 years, maybe as many as 4 (I lose track). I remember thinking at the time what a wonderful upgrade that was because it did away with all that needless clicking. Now all of a sudden this month, it has been switched off - am I the only one who has noticed this?
I have been creating an annual 'family photo album' book via iPhoto for several years now, and i use the 4x3 book sizing specifically for that reason, so I've got lots of experience using this setting. I *know* it used to work the other way. -
The problem is not my server (Comcast) as it does not happen on Safari when trying different websites as well as Godaddy.com or my Godaddy webmail. The problem is only when using my Mac OS X 10.4.11 (not my Windows Vista PC) in Firefox. I only began noticing this recently. Godaddy says this is a browser issue with my Mac as they cannot replicate it.

Firefox does not allow me to 'paste' url's/rapidshare links anywhere on the web browser.
I noticed this problem when I purchased a Rapidshare account. In Google i found the URL of a movie>highlight the link>copy>but the 'paste' option is blanked out (not available) when i come to paste the link in the web browser. I have tried ctrl-v and also the edit>paste but the 'paste' icon i always 'greyed' or blanked out. This problem does not occur on any other computer in the house, just on my laptop. It only occurs with rapidshare links (and similar URL's). I can not paste in the web browser nor can I paste on the rapidshare website because the paste option is not 'click-able'. I don't know what do to, please help.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I hate this new upgrade. I basically can't use this browser anymore. I only need firefox to do a few things correctly but if it cannot do these things I cannot use it<br />
1. If firefox crashes (which it does every 30 minutes it just closes completely) then I need for it to be able to restore / recover all previously opened windows when I start it back up again. It does not do this anymore.<br />
2. I use the bookmarks toolbar all the time but frequently it shows up completely blank. So now the only way I can see the bookmarks is if I go to options and deselect bookmarks toolbar and then reselect bookmarks toolbar.
This is so frustrating and worse you make it so you cant do rollbacks! That is insulting and makes me want to not use your browser. A browser is a critical tool not a toy but you guys won't stop playing with it.Hi joshuad31,
Sorry you are having problems. It should not be crashing and should not be messing up your bookmarks. I do not have any such problems.
*If Firefox is actually crashing, as opposed to hanging then a couple of the Crash IDs would help.
** see [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]]
* if firefox has been frequently hanging and restarting offering the option to restore sessions then that has probably overloaded the session restore and you will need to delete the multiple copies of files.
** see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_delete-duplicated-session-restore-files]]'''_delete-duplicated-session-restore-files'''
** you will loose information doing that, normally I would suggest bookmarking the open tabs, but I am not sure that would work for you.
To get Firefox running again you may initially need to use Firefox's safemode and disable all your plugins. Or do a reset.
* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
*[[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] (Read the warnings before you try this)
I note you have VMware, scripting software and an enterprise edition extension. Is this machine used in an enterprise / corporate environment ?
I will deal with the bookmarks toolbar issue later, crashing/hanging is a higher priority.
