Firefox doesn't handle chained deadkeys on Windows

It seems that Firefox doesn't handle chained deadkeys as produced by for example this layout http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2011/04/16/10154700.aspx . Correct characters are not produced as in contrast with them being produced in Windows explorer.

I think it will be hard to get clear answers about custom keyboard layouts here...
I did see a bug that sounds related: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791300 791300 – Dead-key diacritics non-functional in text forms and address bar] -- the last comment mentions a code comment that chaining is not supported.

Firefox doesn't display text boxes or windows propertly

Hello, most of the time on many websites only a portion of the textbox bounadry lines show or none at all.
This can be difficult when it doesn't show at all when I need to move my cursor to starting inputting text, aside from it looking unsightly.
Also somtimes windows that were intended to have a lined border don't show or only so partly, I know this because I have another computer running same version of firefox with windows xp beside the computer I am having trouble with to compare.
The computer os I am using that I am having problems with firefox is windows 8.1.
All my windows and video drivers are up to date. I've tried disabling firefox hardware acceleration to no effect.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks Guys for all your attempts to help...none worked.
In the process of trying different things my "My PC" icon disappeared because I was trying to change my account settings to Administrative privileges because I was trying to access the firefox file folder that had profiles so I could delete them. Apparently they were hidden in user folder, but that user folder was hidden and in the attempt to make it visible it denied me access because I didn't have admin rights....
...so in the end I just re-installed win 8.1 and now all the web pages display properly...don't know why..but at least it displays better now.

Firefox doesn't open after installing on Windows 7.

I just downloaded firefox on my laptop and when I click on it, it doesn't open.

Hi nuhaaman,
I am not sure If you are getting any kind of error messages. Do you? Also can you tell me which OS you are using?
With the above details, I think I can help to fix this issue.

Firefox doesn't handle Flash

Whenever I try to load a video in YouTube, the audio plays but the video and the video controls do not load. I can get the videos to work on Facebook, but when I right-click and select "Settings" nothing responds to mouse clicks. Firefox also cannot load Chatango or several other sites that use Flash but some Flash objects will load but not respond to mouse clicks. I tried downgrading to several different versions of Flash and also tried a reinstall of Firefox with no luck. However, this has not been a problem for Firefox on the other computers I use, even though I updated Flash on them.

Tried to load V6 now Firefox doesn't open at all. Windows Vista.

I've been using Firefox for years. I just downloaded the upgrade to Firefox 6 and Firefox won't open at all.
I get a SETUP error message:
"Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?"
I've tried to reinstall. Get same message.
I've tried to uninstall and I get the same message there too.

PDF viewer in Firefox doesn't handle feathering of edges and soft shadows

In Firefox 25.01 for Mac OS 10.6.8, I have looked on a website at a pdf created in and exported to pdf from inDesign. The pics and text use some of the basic filters - like drop shadow and basic feather. This all comes out blocky as if it has no idea what to do with gradations. And it is chaos on the page because edges are overlapping text and so on.
It reads fine in Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) when looked at online. It also reads fine when the pdf downloaded and looked at in Acrobat. But Firefox is totally confused.
Is there a fix?
Thanks.

Why Firefox doesn't read keyboard input properly on Windows when chained deadkeys are involved?

I'm trying to customize my keyboard layout on Windows. I have finally installed my new layout. However some of key combinations doesn't work on some applications. One of them is Firefox. It seems it doesn't handle chained deadkeys. And for some reason RightAlt + Q which sould produce "\" produces some wierd combination – this parcitual wierd issue is specific to Firefox. I can send an installer of the keyboard.
Thank you for help

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I downloaded a new version of firefox. It said it had problems with my norton toolbar and now it doesn't feature it in the window. I'm not that comp savvy. How do I either get the Norton toolbar up or go back to the old firefox? Thank you.

When I click on a link within a website to open a document (word, excel etc.), Firefox doesn't open it. Even when I tell it to open in a new window, it just opens a blank tab labeled "untitled."

When I try to click on a link to a document within a website, that document doesn't open like it should. For instance, if I go to the census website and click on a link to open an excel spreadsheet, Firefox doesn't do it. It usually does nothing; if I tell it to open in a new window or tab, it just opens a tab labeled "untitled" that ends up being a blank page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 2 months ago?

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' (Navigatiegeschiedenis) when you close Firefox.

Firefox doesn't close when Windows shuts down

When Windows (in my case: Win XP SP3) shuts down, it sends a message ("QUERY_UNLOAD" in many programming languages) so that the active programs can finish their jobs (e.g. ask about unsaved data) and then exit. It seems you developers have reached v25 of Firefox and not thought of programming this small bit -> Windows shut down - an open Firefox doesn't give a fuck about exiting, you have to cancel it via Windows.
It would be nice to have this little effort of programming done - at last - thank you.

What an answer: The user asked to circumvent the shortcomings of a program.
Firefox should be able to do what 99% of all programs actually do, i.e. close gracefully when Windows shuts down. This is the industry standard.
And: I guess it's not more than a 2- to 5-lines code. So, don't try to evade it, lazy.

FireFox doesn't appear to shut down completly when I quit, when restart it asked to exit FireFox eventhought it closed. When shut down computor error messeage comes up ' ns AppShell: Event Window end now and computor with shut down using 5.0.1

This happens after first time opened and closed. If I try to open from desk top, hour glass shows for a few seconds then goes away and FireFox doesn't open.
If after opened once and try to use 'url' link for e-mail (outlook express) it doesn't open the link and ties up e-mail.
Shut down computer and error box comes up 'ns AppShell: Event window' end now and computer will shut down.

Unable to download music - error message reads "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (wmms) isn't associated with any program."

I purchased a song to download from Walmart.com and received the error message when I tried to download the song; "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (wmms) isn't associated with any program." I've never had a problem before. I paid for this download & I can't even access it.

Does the Walmart site offer a plugin or program (Walmart MP3 Music Downloads) to handle that protocol?<br />
See:
* http://mp3.walmart.com/store/help/help.htm
* http://mp3.walmart.com/store/help/downloading.htm
On Windows a protocol need to be registered by a program that supports that protocol.

Firefox doesn't know what to do with iWeb blog pages.

Why?
Firefox doesn't know what to do with iWeb blog pages. All the entries are missing, and in their place are the words, Blog Summary Widget. Is this a problem with just my version of Firefox (like maybe I'm missing a plug-in or something?) or is this a failure on iWeb's part?

There have been some quantum leaps in design and usefulness between FF1 and FF3. I'm not surprised that FF1 can't handle it. Download the latest FF for Mac and/or Windows here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
