Firefox fixes; Netscape and IE, too
I've updated a collect of patches that help improve the
initial load and reloading of WebHelp, and correcti the display and
behavior of the toolbar and minibar (also called the navigation
bar). Mostly they help Firefox and Netscape. They also solve one or
two problems in Internet Explorer.
Except for the last patch below, I previously posted these in
the forum, and Peter Grainge picked up several for his excellent RH
troubleshooting site. I'm not repeating the earlier ones here, but
will be happy to send a summary Word doc to anyone who sends me a
private message.
Adobe did make some housekeeping code changes in RH 6, but
(as of the trial version) none of those suggested here except one
for whtbar.js, as explained in the summary.
The usual disclaimer: It works for me but I can't guarantee
your results. Back up everything. Experiment on a small project or
a minimized copy of the working project. I haven't tested these in
RH 6, but a quick look at files in the trial version didn't find
any likely problems. If you test them in RH 6, please report back
either here or in a private message.
Regards to all,
Harvey
Purpose: Improve the pace of loading the left pane after
displaying the launch topic in Firefox and Netscape, and perhaps
IE.
File: launchfile.htm
Purpose: Improve the loading and reloading the left frame in
Firefox and Netscape. Particularly, display the browse sequence
buttons and hide X icon. No apparent effect on IE.
File: whtbar.js
Purpose: Eliminate excessive reloading in Firefox and
Navigator, particularly when resizing the window or left pane.
File: whtbar.js
Purpose: Might improve loading the toolbar and navigation
bar. All browsers.
Files: whskin_tbars.htm and whskin_mbars.htm
Purpose: Prevent the toolbar background image from repeating
in the navigation bar. All browsers
File: whskin_mbars.htm
Purpose: Improve the pace of loading WebHelp in Firefox and
Netscape. No discernable effect on IE.
File: whstart.js

I've tried to uninstall and re-install again but it still wont open. I've also tried opening it in safe mode and nothing.
I used to have this problem on my old XP computer, too. The easiest way to fix it is to restart your computer. Use Shutdown and restart. This will stop the firefox process that is hanging and won't show up on your screen.
If you are somewhat computer literate, you can look at all your running processes by pressing Ctrl Shift Esc all at once using the three finger salute. Look at the list of processes to find firefox, highlight it, and select end process. Then go back and click on your shortcut to your firefox to regain control and display it on your screen.
Be sure to upgrade to the latest version of firefox, Version 5. It works much better than previous versions.

Ever since i installed firefox 5 beta and the new version of flash, flash crashes on every page with flash on it no matter what version of firefox i run, and flash wont let me roll back to another version. I need flash for my work which is due by the end of the day so any help yall can offer is appreciated.
well i fixed this for a bit by reinstalling ff4 and restarting but now the firefox 4 that i re-downloaded continues to very aggressively update itself to 5 beta without asking me. it just notifies me once its done it telling me to restart and once i close firefox, boom. flash crashes every minute or so and freezes my computer. I love firefox. i have used it for years. but if no one can help with this problem or at least tell me how to stop firefox 4 from updating to firefox beta 5 im gonna go download something else because im losing money fighting with firefox to get my work done which is now taking 10 times longer to complete. i really want to keep using firefox but this is kinda ridiculous guys... I understand that betas have bugs but dont make me use it without asking me first...

Every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it? When I restart firefox, then the download continues and all is well until I try to download something new (which I do quite often).
You may well find this article of interest and help in sorting out your problems: [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] The article does contain a link for previous versions, but also points out other troubleshooting advice that may be more appropriate in some instances.
Another useful article is [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
I hope you sort out your problems either by downgrading or finding the cause of the problem. -
I got my iPad from my friend and he done a full restore before I got it, but know that I have put my iCloud account on here I have contacts and his too. How can I fix this problem? !!!!!
As I said in the other thread that you posted in the other forum, your friend clearly has not restored the iPad correctly. I suggest that you undertake another restore and start again.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Given what you've have described, your friend cannot have restored the iPad correctly. You need to decide whether you are willing to delete his contacts manually, or carry out another restore. Personally I think I would go for the restore. -

If you do not find a solution in the iPod nano (6th generation) - User Guide, suggest that you call AppleCare if still under warranty or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

Once firefox 4.o was installed, when switching to full screen while watching any internet video produced a white screen but audio still playing. Switching back to small screen has a still video but audio still going. Had to exit and and restart video or open a blank new new tab then delete it and then small screen video would play. Using a mac os 10.5. Disabling hardware acceleration did not fix. went back to firefox 3.6 and all is ok. Any help would be appreciated.
Your hardware was never designed to run that old a version of OS X, it's best to update the application or find another application that is more up to date. Installing Leopard simply will not work on your system.

I'm using firefox 1.0.6 on a Mac OSX 10.3. Firefox is crashing and freezing frequently. I've heard that My firefox version is too old to update and I should get a new computer. I can't upload art to my website. News articles freeze constantly. Firefox shuts down when I go to certain websites. What can I do? Thanks.

when using firefox on yahoo and opening my mail it says Not Found The requested URL /dc/launch was not found on this server. How can this be fixed?
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

I tried Firefox 4.0, and it doesn't work with Yahoo. Until you find a fix, I have to stay with 3.6
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Or you can revert to 3.6.16. <br />
