Firefox does not respond to my selecting 'email clip' at the MSNBC website; not even a '?'

When I select an option to 'email this page/clip/url...' absolutely nothing happens when it should open my Mac Mail app so that I can fill in info, etc.

Right-click on the Firefox image in that little Firefox window and see if '''Maximize''' is available in that context menu. If so, click on Maximize.
To be clear, Yahoo!/Firefox is a modified version of the official Firefox program and may have faults that aren't in the official version.

Latest version of Firefox does not even start up, it just stays in Processes but refuses to be shut down or started up. Same with Beta.

I've had an old firefox installer which I have been using for some time, though a few days ago it tried to update to a new version. Up comes an update bar as usual. Problem is when it is done firefox does not start. Left in processes in task manager is a firefox which refuses to be killed. Any further tries to start firefox will just add another process also unable to be killed. Before I had to reboot the computer every time it tried to update, just to be able to uninstall firefox and install the older version I had. Now, unfortunately, I deleted that old version, so now I have no functioning firefox at all. Same thing happens with the latest beta version.

i forgot the exact text of the original error message, but it was looking for a *.dll that was not there - as if the install had not completed.
tried re-installing & it would stop in the middle of the download with a completely different error message - i was going to screen grab it, but then i got it to work!
Anyway, after uninstalling everything related to iTunes, emptying my recycle bin, cleaning up a bunch of unnecessary files, and stopping some programs that were running in the background (using task manager) - i did a complete re-install from the Apple iTunes website & it worked fine.
thanks!

When I click to enlarge an image in eBay, Firefox does not respond.

I open up Firefox and go to the eBay website. I click on an item to view the listing. I then click on the image, or the 'Enlarge' icon to view a larger version of the image. The problem is that Firefox does not respond. It comes up with "javascript;" in the little dialogue box that pops up in the bottom left corner.
When I use Internet Explorer, I don't have the problem. Could anyone suggest what is wrong?

Make sure that you do not block JavaScript
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/JavaScript
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Bloody Hell, I install Firefox 4 beta 11 and nothing happens home page loads, and thats it, firefox does not respond

I run 3.6.13 I tried to install beta 4. 11, it downloads and installs, it opens the home page, but that's it, the throb er works but Firefox does not respond, i mean like in nothing, it is dead, you click anywhere on the toolbar, and it is like a dead dog.

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.

Despite the newest Flip4Mac plugin being installed and Firefox recognizing it, and it is selected to play wmv files, Firefox does not use it.

What else do I need to say?

Firefox also did NOT import all my settings from Safari, despite being asked to.

I go to this link

I selected save password; but Firefox does not have it in the list of saved passwords??

Firefox will only remember a password if you click the Remember button on the sliding bar at the top that opens when Firefox detects a password. 
If you mean a check box on a web page to remember you then such a choice is stored in a cookie on your computer.
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

I do not know what happened, all of a sudden Firefox does not want to work anymore. Had been conected to audible. Retried about 4 times.... no luck had to force quit every time. The three Firefox app. into garbage, emptied garbage and redownloaded new version from Firefox. Reinstalled but same thing happened again... no connection.
What can I do, I like Firefox better than Safari, had it for years on my Mac.
Please let me know.
(Note: I have also mentioned this on the automatic response to the malfunctioning).

Hey.
I think it might be the problem with one of your plugins.
Try to uninstall the webbrowser AND remove the storage from Firefox in your user-account (Linux: /home/username/.mozilla). You can check the list of installed Add-Ons in Firefox under "Extras => Add-ons" or by pressing Shift + Strg + A (Linux).

Firefox does not reopen tabs from previous session

Hi,
When I start firefox it does not reopen the tabs I had open from the previous time Firefox was open, despite following suggestions in other support articles mentioning a similar problem.
I have seen these other similar problems and solutions in the support forums but none of them describe exactly my problem and none of their solutions fix my problem:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/800462#answer-154670
http://support.mozilla.com/bn-BD/questions/796107#answer-151748
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/786128#answer-139770
As suggested in the above articles I have gone to about:config and ensured that all of
browser.tabs.warnOnClose
browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart
browser.showQuitWarning
are set to true.
With all the above set to true I have also tried in
Options -> General -> Startup -> When Firefox Starts
varying the setting between
"Show my windows and tabs from last time"
and
"Show my homepage"
When I have this set to "Show my homepage" Firefox does ask me when I'm closing it down if I would like to save my tabs for next time. I select Save and Quit, yet when I reopen Firefox it opens only a single tab, my homepage.
When I have it set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" Firefox does NOT ask me when I'm closing it down if I would like to save my tabs for next time. When I reopen Firefox it opens only a single tab, my homepage.

I ddin't have this problem ubtil today! If I closed Firefox with open tabs, then when I reopened Firefox, the tabs were there. It was like that first thing this morning but now, at 10:37, it warns me when I try to close it with multiple tabs open and when I reopen Firefox it reopens without the previous tabs! I have opted for "show my windows and tabs from previous session". Restore previous session is inoperative. Presumably, there's been another update which has caused this, as with the RSS feeds disappearing.

Firefox does not re-initiate TCP session when receiving RST-ACK

Hello guys,
I’m writing to report a disparity between firefox and IE/Chrome when receiving RST-ACK.
To mitigate SYN flood attack, one of the countermeasures of anti-ddos appliance is to reset the first 3-way handshake and expect a re-initiated new tcp session from that client. If the real client, browser for example, automatically re-initiate a new session, users won’t feel too much differences except time of delay. If a browser does not automatically start a new session, users have to manually refresh the page within an interval, like 60 seconds.
We got reports from customers that firefox gave notifications of connection reset, as Graph 1 is. I tested with IE11, Chrome and firefox. It’s found that Chrome and IE will automatically started a new session, while firefox does not. For firefox users, they had to manually refresh the page.
Anti-ddos appliance (A10 TPS, Arbor & HUAWEI secospace) does provide another option to avoid seeing this notification. I understand there must be consideration and good reasons for firefox to design the browser this way. May I ask whether it is possible to adjust a little on firefox to let it automatically re-fresh the page when seeing a RST-ACK please? Guess it’s quite common for firefox users to see the notification when access URLs during DDos attacks, because for A10 TPS & Arbor, the default setting is to reset the first 3-way handshake.
Feel free to let me know if I missed something and got things wrong.
Appreciate it much for your time!

Graph 2 Screen shot of the captured packets
Graph 3 How it works for Arbor TMS to authentication a client by default.

ops, seems packets are not allowed to be uploaded. anyone willing to check my question, kindly reach me at [email protected]

Firefox does not fully load Barclaycard Authentication site. It loads as far as asking for certain letters in my pasword but does not load the "Submit" button so I cannot continue with my purchase and have to switch to IE8 browser to purchase anything over the internet. Any clues?
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Couple of weeks ago

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is totally messed up by another program that you installed, and Barclays doesn't know you are using Firefox 3.6.6 - it probably looks like IE 6.0 to that website.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
Then restart Firefox

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.

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.
