Firefox does not queue print jobs until after quitting (using lpr on RHEL5).

Using several versions of firefox 3+ including 3.6.3, print jobs using lpr aren't queued until firefox quits. This is confirmed on both RHEL5 and Ubuntu 10.04. We configured gtkrc to allow lpr printing, and it prints correctly, but only after firefox closes. This is valid in a clean firefox install as well as more customized versions. Other gtk-enabled apps (e.g., acroread) do not show this problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Configured gtkrc to allow printing to lpr

Thanks Jason, I had the same problem and did exactly the steps above. Problem solved! You rock! :)

I change ISP and use ms explorer to set on to new ISP. Internet options has the new ISP address but Firefox does not pick it up and is still using the old ISP. Can find no way to set firefox to new ISP. How do i do it?

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Connection section -> click '''Settings...''' button -> change these settings in accordance with Internet Options settings that work on MS Internet Explorer -> click OK
Check and tell if its working.

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:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
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'' <br>(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.

Firefox does not show Flash based Soundcloudplayer after embedding

Hi There,
I have some problems with embedding from flash based content because firefox does not show the embedded content.
Last week and the time before everything went fine but now the Flash based player of Soundcloud doesn't work anymore.
I've tried to embed my soundcloudplayers via div tag on my nobleprofile, full code:
<pre><nowiki><div>
<object width="390" height="220" type="application/ x-shockwave-flash" data="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fmanuel-turobin%2Fsets%2Fmanuel-turobin-fancy-a-swift-one-before-the-show&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&show_playcount=true&show_artwork=true&color=c0ff00">
<param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fmanuel-turobin%2Fsets%2Fmanuel-turobin-fancy-a-swift-one-before-the-show&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&show_playcount=true&show_artwork=true&color=c0ff00" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
</object>
</div>
</nowiki></pre>
If I use the "data" URL I can see the player but I dont know why there are problems for a week with that embedding?!
Thanks for any help!

I notice a space in type="application/ x-shockwave-flash" in not working flash objects.
Firefox also needs the movie name specified via a data attribute in the object tag instead of via the param tag. With those changes applied you should see the Flash animations (works for me).

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="390" height="454"></nowiki></pre>

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 correctly print - creates empty pages and cuts of content when printing

When trying to print out pages Firefox first prints a lot of empty pages, and then only a part of the content. Example:
https://online.medunigraz.at/mug_online/wbTvw_List.lehrveranstaltung?pStpSpNr=182778
When entering "print prview" you can see empty pages.
When printing this page with Internet Explorer all is fine.

Thanks for this hint, but it does not help.
This problem does not appear in Internet Explorer, and it should be reproduceable. At least I thought so, so it would help if others could try to click on the link and try to print. They should have the same troubles.

I also attach a Screenshot so that you can see how the Print Preview looks like.
Kind regards,

AME CC 2014 does not delete intermediate files until you quit app

Hi all,
I've noticed a very annoying behavior in AME after upgrading to CC 2014, which results in AME not cleaning upp intermediate files after compression is done. These files are always left in the destination folder of the compressed filed and persist until I quit AME (see screenshot):
Does anyone else seen this behavior?
I'm not sure if I should blame Adobe or Apple, since this behavior surfaced after upgrading to Maverick.
Helpful for any suggestions.

I've noticed this too. Please file a bug via http://adobe.com/go/wish

Firefox does not load; it just hangs after 5-6 seconds. Any ideas?

When I attempt to open Firefox, I get the opening page with no data, then after about 5 seconds I get the beach ball of death. I am running OS10.6 on an iMac. The problem started after I cleared History files.

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.

Greasemonkey has a file which has metadata on your installed scripts. I remember looking at it once when there was a controversy about updates, but I don't know how to mine it for data.
What happens if you exit Firefox and startup in your old profile and install GM 1.14 beta? Does that rescue your original setup?

I'm front-end developer and I wonder why version 30.0 of firefox does not support pseudo element :before | :after ?

my firefox browser doesn't show the pseudo element :before | :after and they don't work properly.

Try ::before and ::after.

Firefox does not close when exited and I must use system to delete process in order to log in again.

When using either my XP or 7 computer and I exit Firefox and then try to get back in, I get a message that Firefox is already running and I must exit to log back in. I must go to the system to delete the Firefox process before I can get back into Firefox. I am using Comcast as my provider.

Firefox does not send a crash report.

Mac OS 10.6.3 Firefox 3.6.7
Firefox does not send an error report after it crashes. It crashes consistently when accessing certain pages when Shockwave Flash 10.1 r53 10.1.53.64 is enabled, but never sends a crash report.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I noticed the problem in early July 2010 after upgrading Shockwave.

More information:
Firefox produces a crash file, but does not send it.
There are 19 July 2010 reports in /Users/me/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ including 5 from today.
A plist file was created or modified at the same time that the as the last crash report. It contains OS and Firefox versions.

Firefox does not print. I AM DONE USING FIREFOX UNTIL THEY FIX PRINTING PROBLEMS ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Firefox does not print. Mozilla doesn't seem to care to fix this problem, ignoring the numerous customer requests and pleadings for help. At this point, I AM DONE USING FIREFOX UNTIL THEY FIX PRINTING ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I honestly think the OP is making the correct decision to quit using Firefox due to all the print-related problems and Bugs that are in Firefox, '''that Mozilla doesn't want to fix'''. And there are more Bugs that affect only the Mac-platform (like the one where the user has to open a page in a new window for the 2nd web page printed from that window), than there are on Windows and Linux.
Users having to reset hidden preferences repeatedly isn't a cure.
The same 3 print-related Bugs in 2002 that caused me to take 6 months to switch over to ''Phoenix'' from IE 5.5, '''are still present in Firefox!''' I print nothing from Firefox these days without viewing Print Preview first, then about 10% of the time I do a "View in Opera" and do a Print Preview there - which shows a good print out 95% of the time (which IMO shows the page isn't at fault), and print it from Opera.
1660 Bugs listed for "'''print'''"

Firefox does not print the target frame in PeopleSoft Enterprise or Campus Soultions Portals

When using PeopleSoft Enterprise Portal or Campus Solutions Portal Firefox does not print the target frame. PeopleSoft utilizes iframes and has indicated this is the technology path they will follow. On each page is a header, footer, and left menu. Content is displayed in the target after it is selected from the left menu. This issue prevents users from using the standard print preview or print functionality.

We need the standard print and print preview functionality that all of our end users are already familiar with to work. We have a large end user group that is frustrated this functionality is available in IE and Chrome, but not Firefox.

Firefox does not queue print jobs until after quitting (using lpr on RHEL5).
