Firefox does not show filesystem or FTP file list

When I type "/" or "file:///" in the address bar it does not show anything. It should list my the folders in my root drive but it shows nothing. Strangely this is the same for any FTP file server I go to. It shows nothing but claims to be loaded. I think something in Firefox is missing.

I cleared the cookies and that might have done it. Comment if you have or had this problem.

I have installed Adobe Flash but firefox does not show as plugin

I have downloaded the most recent versions of Firefox (30.0) and Adobe Flash Player. The Adobe website tells me my flash player is installed and current but Firefox does not show it as a plug in and a site that requires flash player (google finance) to view charts does not work. The place for the chart remains blank after telling me it has loaded.
Any thoughts?

When a page is using a plugin, usually an icon similar to a piece of Lego appears in the address bar. You can click the logo to check that Flash is allowed to run on the page, or approve it to run if it isn't.
I randomly picked a stock and enlarged the chart and got the following URL. Any luck with this one: http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chfdeh=0&chdet=1405540800000&chddm=1173&chls=IntervalBasedLine&q=NASDAQ%3AAAPL&ntsp=0&fct=big&ei=YJzGU_iiEZSziALE4oCYCg
Does it matter whether you view it in a regular tab or in a private window? To view in a private window, right-click the link > Open Link in New Private Window.

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).
<pre><nowiki><object data="http://www.residentadvisor.net/flash/dj-widget/dj.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="390" height="454"></nowiki></pre>

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.

The burn command does not show in the iTunes file. I recently upgraded to Yosemite. How do I retrieve the burn function? thanks

Have Macbook late 2009
2 GB
iOS 10.10.2 (recent,y upgraded)
The 'burn to disc' function does not show in the iTunes 'file'.
How can I restore this feature?
thanks

Where are you looking for the "Burn"?
You should be seeing it, when you select a playlist or a smart playlist in the sidebar and then use the command "File > Burn Playlist to ..." or ctrl-click or right click the playlist and select the Burn command from the pop-up menu.
Does it not show there?

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
'''Note:'''
Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

LR4.3 does not show previously imported CR2 files (5D mark III) by trial version

LR4.3 does not show previously imported CR2 files taken using 5D mark III by trial version.
When tried to synchronize the files not show when browsing, the import window comes up. All the Jpeg files, Raw files are seen in the window. None of them are highlighted nor selectable. LR is assuming that those files are already imported but if imported they are being shown for browsing or editing

Maybe you have set a Filter in LR. Press Ctrl-L once or twice to turn it off.
Maybe you don't have "All Photographs" selected in the Catalog Panel on the left.

Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes. I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case. My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine. I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list. Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading. I'm at a loss. Please help. Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices? We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot... have I run out of rope?

hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
This week i was determined to get it to work! So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1 owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV GERNERATION 1!..yes we do still exist!
at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work, however it did sync/send the movie to itunes.. so at least i could save a back up copy.
good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

I have an old ipod shuffle and I cannot get it to sync because it does not show up in my devices list...? HELP!!!

I cannot get my old ipod shuffle to sync because it does not show up in my devices list!!! I have tried letting it die and then plugging it in and still no success!! HELP!!!

To sync via wifi you first have to connect to computer via USB and check the box in the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes that sync via wifi.
Note you can only sync with one computer. If you change syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the second computer.

After installing or upgrading to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not show homepage, customize shows a blank page and the option button does not work

I am the Windows admin for a university department and install PCs with Firefox all the time. This problem does not happen with every PC I maintain, only a select few (different model laptops with Windows 8.1 and update 1.) Until today, it only happened with new user accounts (with admin rights) that I setup on the laptops for our staff. Today this happened with The Administrator account while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I install Windows from a saved image that was created using sysprep.
I have tried the many suggestions of resetting Firefox, deleting the users Firefox profile, deleting the users Windows profile, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helps. After uninstalling, I run an app to delete temp files and caches and will even manually remove registry keys HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. Plus I reboot and make sure the install folder is deleted after uninstall.
Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial setup window for migrating IE and/or Chrome pops up and after clicking the Finish button, Firefox starts, but does not show the initial new user page, only a blank page. Clicking on the Options button (3 bars) does nothing. Right-clicking in the proper area, the popup menu appears so I can choose to Customize, but that only opens another tab with about:customize in the URL and the page is blank. From the right-click popup menu, I can enable the Menu Bar and get to Options from that.
My latest attempt has helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned up, deleted user Firefox profile, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Inital startup runs, and tells me I'm not up to date, and the Options button works. But I still cannot customize.
I then upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no startup page, no options button and no customize. I can downgrade to 30 and get all but customize working again.
Only Addon is one for McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which just after installing is disabled.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

Firefox does not show url in navigation toolbar while loading webpage (in new tab)

Firefox 3.6 when opening a link in new tab the url does not show in navigation toolbar while loading the web page. All ypu see is "Type a Web Adress" until the page load.
Before with my older version the URL was visible in navigation toolbar even before page started loading. How can I get this back?

A couple of possible causes. First check for an incompatible add-on, for details of how to do that see the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
Another possible cause is a problem with the file that stores bookmarks. One of the symptoms is the URL not being updated in the Location Bar as you browse. For details on this see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite locked or damaged places.sqlite].

IDM 8.1 with firefox does not show all GUI items

Hi,
we are running IDM 8.1 Patch_5 on Solaris 10. We have 2 instances, Prod & UAT. UAT runs from Tomcat 5, Prod uses Sun Appserver 8.
But our problem seems to be the Web Client.
When We lookup a user and then open the tabs for them, for example "Security" Firefox is not showing the
little boxes that allow you to allocate attributes etc. Instead, we just get the form title and then a blank line.
I did some reading and noted that there were some Java issues with IDM and Java and Firefox but I cannot apply
the workaround. I also tried the edit of Waveset.properties and adjusting the baseHref as suggested elsewhere but this
also does not work.
We are using Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100627 Firefox/3.6.6
As you can see this is a SPARC desktop!
Also Java was tried with v1.5_16 and now currently jdk1.6.0_07.
Can anyone please assist? This is rather urgent. I will be trying my Mac at home tonight, but we need something
that works now! Interestingly, this is the first time I have seen this problem. It may be related to Firefox, but I tried using Opera as well
with the same result.
Please assist!

Hi,
thanks for the information. I doubt we will be modifying the base code of IDM in this way. I am a bit disappointed that a
Sun product, running on a Sun desktop has this issue, but I think it more of a synergy between Java and Firefox, although
Opera was basically broken the same way, too.
Our workaround for now, is to have a separate install of Firefox, which is 3.0.3 and Java 1.5.0_16, which we know work
and run this as a parallel browser, with a symlink to it as "firefox-idm". This is OK, but not really that good.
Interestingly, IDM 8.1 displays perfectly on Snow Leopard and G5 Leopard using Firefox 3.6.6 and Java 1.6 on
Snow Leopard and with Java 1.5 on the G5 release.
We are thinking of apply IDM patches, but are reticent to do so, if they break any existing functionality......
Cheers
rachel
