Firefox does not now find web sites unless full url is entered

Since I updated Firefox, I keep getting the message:-
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-GB/locale/browser-region/region.propertiesyahoo.
All other web browsers that I use would pick up the entry 'yahoo' immediately. [I use the yahoo search as an example.]
This happens with the majority of searches now. I have given up trying to use the firefox search engine and wonder if it is worth the time using it at all if I forget and typr in the search only to have to re-do it again after receiving the above message. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem here?

Hello,

Mozilla firefox does not display Notepad++ web programming

mozilla firefox does not display notepad++ programming of web page and does not connect css files. Currntly programs using CSS + html5.

Could you check in the lower right corner of Notepad++ what character encoding is being used for your documents. (See screen shot attached.) Some encodings, particularly UTF-16 encodings, have caused other users problems with external content not loading. It is best to use the same encoding for all of your pages, style sheets, scripts, etc.

Firefox 4 does not allow me to organize book marks and does not automatically fill web sites I start to type.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4 I no longer have the option to organize bookmarks. Also when I start to type a website and I click on the suggestions that appear as I start to type... they do not appear in the space where I have started to type. This did not happen with my previous verion of Firefox. Everything worked perfectly.

Thank you Tony E... it did solve my book mark problem... but do you know why Foxfire 4 does not fill in websites they suggests to the area where I start to type in a search.
For instance I might start to type in Firefox to indicate that I want to go to the Firefox web site. But before I start to finish typing Fir... a box pop up with the suggestion Firefox. If I click on this suggestion it should fill the area I am typing and take me to the Firefox web site.
Unfortunately it does not do this now... they way it used to do before... in the older version of Firefox.

Safari update does not access some web sites

I just did the latest Mac update, the Safari, Quicktime,Itunes update. And now Safari does not allow me to access my own Flash based web site. It says it's loaded 3 of 4 and then just stops, no error message, nothing, just a blank page.
And worse I am not the only person having this problem, several other people on Macs, in different parts of the country,and using Safari also can not access my site. However Firefox has no problem on my computer or theirs. Worse still, I am traveling and will be away for several weeks more and it's the holidays which is a key time for my website as it is an important sales tool for my business. There haven't been any changes to the website itself for over a year. I guess I just won't be expecting any business from Mac users this Christmas........
Also other websites seem to have loading issues as well.
I used to look forward to Apple updates as they USED to improve the performance of my computer, however the last two updates caused severe problems to a computer that had been working perfectly.

Double click select all does not work in web site's search area after going back.

After updating from Firefox ESR v24.8.1 to v31.20 double click select all does not work in a search area after going back or searching again with the same input. It happens before clicking search icon and searching for something else double click select all does not work except it works for one word that's all.
This issue is with all new Firefox ESR and None ESR I have tried. Also the issue is on all web sites like www.softpedia.com for example.

Bugzilla has a different login system, unfortunately.

Firefox does not link to another site

I have an image in my web page that when clicked on is supposed to take the viewer to another extrernal web site.
I have set it up with Dreamweaver CS4, and it works OK with IE6, Google Chrome, but not Firefox.
Can anyone please advise how I should change my code so that Firefox will open this external page?

Hello Jill.
First of all, 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?
If that's not the case, can you provide a link to the page or upload the page (if it's still offline) so we can see what's actually happening?

Firefox Does Not Display Topics When Using "#" in the URL

I'm currently having a problem with Firefox not opening
context-sensitive help links using URLs, rather than map IDs. For
example, if the URL is
http://www.myhelp.com/index.htm#custom_topic.htm,
Firefox will load the page as expected (except it appears to
continue loading the page, which is another issue that is discussed
in another forum), but either immediately loads the parent topic
(if the requested topic is a subtopic in a book) or displays a
"Page Cannot Be Displayed" error. It's peculiar in that the correct
topic loads (the one after the octothorpe), but Firefox (or
WebHelp--I'm not sure who's to blame here) then goes to the parent
topic or displays the error. Any guesses?

I agree with Peter's obervation about test projects.
Let me suggest some patches. They may cure the
load-topic/reload-default-topic misbehavior.
In the output file whtbar.js look for this line:
else
if(sType=="hide2"&&(!gbNav4)&&(!gbOpera))
It occurs only once. Change it to
else if(sType=="hide2"&&(!gbOpera))
In the same output file, near the end, look for
function tryReload()
if (gnRE==1)
document.location.reload();
gnRE--;
Make it read
function tryReload()
if (gnRE==1)
// document.location.reload();
gnRE--;
About those JavaScript references you were deleting, you need
to keep them because they have browser-sniffing and filtering code.
Also:
In the output file myproject.htm look for these lines near
the beginning:
<meta name="description" content="WebHelp 5.50">
</head>
Delete </head> here because it belongs elsewhere.
In the same output file myproject.htm look for these lines
near the end:
</script>
<frameset cols="100%,*" frameborder=no border=0>
Make them read
</script>
</head>
<frameset cols="100%,*" frameborder=no border=0>
At the very end before </html>, insert
<body></body>:
<body></body>
</html>
Why, you may ask, would Firefox be affected by code that
filters for Nav4?
I don't completely get it, but it seems Firefox also
identifies itself as a Mozilla browser, and the ancient code in
whver.js appears to equate Mozilla with Nav4. Once this flag is
set, it is not turned off. In fact browser ID flags accumulate. So
Firefox may be burdened with RH browser ID flags for Mozilla, Nav4
and maybe Nav5, Nav 6, Nav61 and Nav7.
Just try to find your way through all the RH code filters
with those flags.
If you're really adventuresome, go into whver.js and add flag
definitions for gbFirefox (I think gb stood for generic browser,
i.e., not IE) and insert it into all the "if" conditions where you
think it should be treated the same as, or differently from, the
other browsers.
Disclaimers and warnings:
All of the above applies to RH 5 code. I haven't had time to
look in RH6. Adobe may have fixed some, not others.
Because these are output files, RH probably will overwrite
them when you publish a revised version, so you must check the new
published output.
As always:
It works for me but may not work for you; back up everything,
test and retest, etc., etc. My driver's license is good in my chair
but may not be valid elsewhere.
Good luck.

Since upgrading to 3.6.12 FF does not access any web site at all

I have completely uninstalled it (lossing bookmarks, codes and all the stuff) and reinstall it again but the same problem occured. When I try to update via the Help menu it shows the error message that installation has not completed properly and the update file XML (200) is corrupted. When I try to update manually nothing changes. Please note that I use the Greek version. Does anyone have any ideas to help me?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

After installing 3.6.10 firefox does not open selected web pages just gives garbage web pages at random. Had to use explorer just to get here

after updating to 3.6.10 firefox loads wrong web pages. Had to use explorer to get help. All web pages won't load just bookmarked pages.

Can you clarify something. Is it just bookmarks that you are having problems with, or do you get this problem when clicking on links or typing an address in the location bar.
If it is just bookmarks, a possible cause is a damaged places.sqlite file (the file that stores bookmarks), for details on how to fix that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
If it is clicking on links, being re-directed on search engines etc, then this can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]

Facebook says that firefox does not re cognize other web sites for tagged photos.

I have firefox and when I get on facebook and use my profile to view photos that I have been tagged in. they do not show up. all comments show, but when I click on view photo, it tells me that firefox does not recognize other web sites and wants me to approve them. this has never happened to me till I updated to this fire fox.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.<br />
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

Newest firefox does not display aspects of simple html web site correctly

Newest Firefox does not display certain web pages correctly whereas Safari does- previous versions of Firefox worked fine.
The web pages are simple html using bumpers to position photos. Several of these pages allow "see through" in these bumper areas of prior page. It appears that Firefox is not releasing its memory of the prior page. Each of these pages is a specific address and should be loaded as a separate solo page. Please look at html pages 10 and 14 of this site. It seems that the code for these bumpers is not being honored and the persistent memory of the prior page is being intermixed. I cleared the cache and reinstalled Firefox with no change in problem.
Please help.
My business is struggling...

Hello - thanks for your response!
I reinstalled Firefox 7.0.1 - still have the problem.
Cache was cleared.
I tried restarting in safe mode also with no change.
I reinstalled Firefox 6.0.1 - works fine.
I have attached a screen shot showing the problem on 1 of the pages.
These are simple html pages that use .gif bumpers to help position the photos in some cases but not on all of the site pages. The sample screen shot shows the compound problem - the code for the gif bumpers is not being honored and part of the image from the prior page is showing through - the prior page is not being fully released. Each page is a separate entity with a separate address, so when the new page loads there should be no evidence or visibility of the prior one.
This simple bit of website building should be working on this browser, on this Mac with this OS. Safari works. Firefox 6 works.
Sample problem pages are 10 and 14.
Site is http://www.robertbellphoto.com
Thank you so much!

After exiting proxifier software while web pages are still open in firefox, I could not open any web pages unless firefox is restarted. Plz help me.

I have a problem with Firefox when using Proxifier software. When proxifier is runing and I'm browsing web pages with firefox all things is OK. But after exiting proxifier while web pages are still open in firefox, I encounter a problem. In spite of the internet is still connected but my firefox could not open any web pages unless firefox is restarted.
You are kindly requested help me how to solve this problem not to restart firefox.

Hi,
[http://proxifier.com/ Proxifier] seems to be a transparent proxy. So you could try setting '''No proxy''' in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption Advanced] > '''Network''' > '''Settings'''.
PS: A quick way to restart Firefox is to press [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/GCLI '''Shift''' + '''F2'''], type '''restart''', and hit '''Enter'''.

Firefox does not load pages, comes back with server not found

First I thought this was a problem with Firefox 4 beta but now I am having the same issue with 3.6.16
About 70% of the times, Firefox does not open the web page and comes back with "Server not found" message. Interesting thing is it comes back with this message on the first 2 tries and then on the third try for the same link it will display the page. Always, 2 fails and 3rd time it works. Now during the first two times, internet commnection is working and if I try the same URL on IE it works without any issues. This started happening after I tried Firefox 4 beta. 4 is not uninstalled and I am back to 3.6.16. But the issue remains.
I am using Win 7 64 Home Premium, SP1 is not applied yet but all updates are in place.

Well, I'm using Firefox 4.0 and have the same problem. I tried to open my private homepage and my *.net-domain comes back with the "Server not found" message (my *.com-domain loads without any problem - same contents on both websites)
I also tried to open my net-domain in FF portable - without any problems.
Clearing the cache, deleting the cookies etc in FF4 does not help either.
I also had the experience that FF4 does not load CSS5 websites (e.g. deviantart) properly (CSS does not work, website shows simply the html-version, a disgusting look). With FF portable the problem does not exist.
I tried this on different machines (e.g. Windows XP Pro SP3 (office PC), Win7 Pro 64, Win Vista SP2... (home PCs) and there I'm experiencing the same issues with FF4 and various websites.
