Firefox does not launch a website when I click a link.

When I click on some links firefox opens a new tab but does not launch the web page. The tab says (GIF Image, 1 x 1 pixels) but the screen is blank. I can get to the sites on my wife's firefox, but not on mine or on chrome from my computer.

Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.

Firefox does not load the website when clicking a hyperlink in another program

I am using Firefox 5.0.1 in Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I click on a hyperlink in another program, Firefox launch but show me a blank page, instead of the web page of that hyperlink. This only happen if Firefox is not launched prior to clicking the hyperlink. This mean, if I am already using Firefox (Firefox is opened) and I click on the hyperlink in other program's document, Firefox will launch that web page. Is there any setting that I need to do?

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

Firefox does not show full websites

Suddenly, Firefox does not show complete websites. IE does just fine.
Here's sample:
http://i40.tinypic.com/lboxv.jpg
What do we do? Some sites show fine, some like this - a list view, or whatever. And it's not online issue, as like I said - IE shows same sites just fine.

Hello ukrkoz, if you have the same issue again try to clear cookies and cache. 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.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

My photostream in windows 7 PC does not shows any pic. when i click on slide show it start showing me slide shows of pic but when i try to copy files i cant do as no photo is viewd in list mode. This problem has arised since IOS is updated.I reinstalled my icloud and checked if icloud sharing is ON. I can see pic in my photo stream in PC only in slide show mode. While in list mode it shows pics before i actually click on photostream folder. My phone memory is out becose of bunch of photoes. How do i copy my photostream photoes.

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

Firefox does not load any websites now, after working well earlier today.

Firefox is not working now - it does not load any websites. Message on screen says:- "8e6 Mobile Client - internet browsing is not possible at this time. Error:80001001".
What I was doing before the problem:-
I had spent time re-organising My Documents.
One folder in My Docuamnts called "High Windows" contained the file "2101HighWin.msi", which I attempted to open.
What I have done since the Firefox problem:-
I have tried to uninstall 8e6 Mobile Client, but it won't let me.
I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox.
I have used InternetExplorer8 to search thru the Mozilla troubleshooting pages.
Please can you help?
Cheers,
Bruce

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

Firefox does not start for very long after clicking!!If another browser is opened Firefox opens after that.

Firefox does not open after clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Occasionally it opens after a very long time and that also a number of pages open at the same time equal to the number of times hat I clicked the icon trying to open. If I open another browser like Google Chrome after trying to open Firefox then Firefox follows it to open much quicker after Google chrome opens.

Hello,
'''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"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''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.

How to make firefox to open new a tab when you click a link in pdf

I have this pdf page that has a lot of links embedded opened on Firefox (24.7).
When I click the link on the pdf page, it jumps to the page on the very same tab.
Is there any way to open links on a pdf page in a new tab?
What value in about:config should I modify to make it happen??

Hi,
You can't open link in new tab by middle click on PDF page...
You must be talking about behavior on normal web page.
Thanks for your response anyways.

I get a Software Update message that says "Update Available" A Security and stability update for Firefox is available: Firefox 8.0.1 ...when I click the link I get a message that Firefox is connecting to the update server but nothing else happens.

When I click the link Firefox shows a status bar and states that it is connecting to the update server, but the status never changes and nothing seems to be happening.

Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer

Firefox does not load random websites. Using a 3.6 or later version, with an XP OS.

My Dad's laptop is using XP OS.
He's been using Firefox quite a bit, until recently (about a month ago or more) when we go to any random website, it does not load. All it shows is a blank page and at the bottom bar it says "Done".
But after refreshing it multiple times (and I mean A LOT of times) it either loads it or does not.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

Firefox does not save my settings when I reboot

I have Windows 7 Ultimate. I was having problems with Firefox 3.6.16 crashing to the point where it wouldn't work. I uninstalled it and downloaded version 4 but had problems with it hanging all the time. I went through the help section, one of the things I did that was recommended was to delete my sessionstore files and any extra copies. I think there were three of them. I deleted them all but Firefox 4 still was hanging.
I uninstalled 4 and reinstalled 3.6.16 again. Everything seems to be working okay except when I reboot or restart my computer it does not save all of my password logins or any special settings on websites I visit all the time. So every time I start my computer I have to log into all my sites again, and I have a lot of them so this is really a pain. I'm not sure if this has to do with deleting the sessionstore files or not. I checked and I do have one sessionstore file instead of three.
Not sure what else to try. If I leave my computer on I stay logged in to all my sites and my preferences on those sites are maintained. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

I have tried to make a backup of the bookmarks file. Renamed the old one and called the backup "bookmarks.html".
The places.sqlite file is not "secured" (there does not exist a "locked" attribute in the general tab on the Mac), so I assume it is not locked.
Nothing seems to work. Possibly I can best uninstall Firefox and try to reinstall it, or does that not solve the problem.
Otherwise I go back to Safari :-)

Firefox does not launch. Process firefox.exe *32 is in task manager, but browser does not open.

Running Windows 7. Installed latest version of Java and Firefox. Rebooted. Firefox no longer launches but does have a process running.

Something is preventing Firefox from loading your profile correctly. You may want to try loading Firefox in Safe Mode with add-ons disabled.
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode How To Start Firefox in Safe Mode]
Once you're in Safe Mode you can view a list of your plugins in '''Tools > Add-Ons > Plugins''' and disable each plug-in one by one until Firefox can open normally outside of safe-mode. If disabling one particular plugin fixes the problem you will need to uninstall that plugin. You are not able to uninstall plug-ins from within Firefox itself but sometimes they are related to other programs installed on Windows.
[http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/uninstall.html Uninstalling Plugins FAQ]
Your system details shows that your Firefox version is 3.x however the latest version is 4.0.1. If you're not sure you've installed the latest version you can try downloading the latest version and installing it again.
[http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/ Mozilla Firefox Homepage]
Visit this link to determine if your Firefox plugins are truly up-to-date.
[http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Mozilla Firefox Plugin Check]
As a last resort you can uninstall and reinstall Firefox, while keeping existing user settings and profiles, but if it continues to hang while booting, as a final resort you can delete your profile and start over. Take note you '''will''' lose all of your preferences, bookmarks, and stored search queries and passwords.
