Firefox for Android: cannot locate server and the URL trying to reach includes a colon character

Trying to reach a URL like this: http://myserver123:1009/home.aspx
I've already disabled the firefox adding the "www" and ".com" to the URL which was definitely an issue originally, but it still does not resolve properly.
The error page says:
"Server not found. Firefox cannot find the server at myserver123"
It seems Firefox is stopping at the colon character in the URL, thus not resolving to the page.
Any ideas on how to fix?

Hi LI_NY_1
On my Nexus 6, running Lollipop and FF 37.0.1 I have no problem reaching urls like:
http://rt-mba11:8080/index.html
Are you sure you have your webserver for myserver123 configured correctly?
If you could give me the URL of your webserver I can try to see if I can reproduce this problem; my guess is this is a webserver config issue and not a Firefox for Android issue but of course I could be wrong!
Cheers!

Firefox for Android, Adobe Flash Player, and Samsung KNOX conflict.

Hello.
I have a Galaxy Note 3. If I go to youtube.com in Firefox, play a video, and click on fullscreen, Firefox will crash and a notification will come up with title "Prevention information" and description "An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system...". This notification is generated by "Knox Notification Manager", an app that comes preinstalled.
I know this problem is probably not exactly Firefox's fault, however some of other browsers are able to handle the exact same situation without any problem. Can you fix this problem, or is there a configuration that I can do to fix this?
My system info:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (T-Mobile)
OS: Android 4.3
Adobe Flash Player ver. 11.1.115.81
Firefox for Android ver. 26.0.1

Renew SSL Certificate for for two Exchange 2010 Server and the new rules.

I find DigitCert's website always helpful with cert questions.They've got a pretty helpful page here: https://www.digicert.com/internal-names.htmIt looks like they've got a tool for Exchange, but I've not used it myself, so can't say if it works or how well: https://www.digicert.com/internal-domain-name-tool.htmI bet Microsoft have something on their website too that helps with this sort of question.I'd say you register a completely new domain and use that for public facing and internal servers. Or you could just create a sub domain of an existing one, i.e. subdomain.mydomain.com and use that, i.e. public_exchange.subdomain.mydomain.com and internal_exchange.subdomain.mydomain.com.

Hi there ,
My exchange 2010 Server Certificate is about to expire and i am going to renew it but according to the new rules for SSL Certificate Issuing we can not include our Local Servers Names and Local FQDN such as myserver.contoso.local, my issue is that i have 2 exchange servers one is internet-facing Server (where the certificate is initiated and installed) and one is non-internet-facing Exchange server.
if i am going to renew my certificate with public only name, I have to create a split Domain that reflects my external links to the internal Users, what shall i do for the non-internet-facing server? do i need to create another record in my split DNS Server and add it to my Certificate Request ?

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 7.0
I have downloaded Firefox for Android on my tablet and added some add ons. When first using the browser, it works great and loads up fast. Once I get off Internet and try getting back on at a later time(whether it be a minute or longer), I type in a Web page address and nothing loads up. How can I fix this.

Auto refresh or reload a page on Firefox for Android ?

Is there a way to auto reload or refresh a page on Firefox for Android ?
I looked at the extensions but I could not find any. I am using my tablet for Google Drive Slides and unfortunately their publish web page does not force the browser to refresh a page so the content do not change. The only solution I found is to auto reload a page. Dolphin has this add on but the full screen does not hide the status bar. Firefox full screen hides the status bar but there is no auto reload a page extension.
Can someone help please?

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.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
#*Cookies & active logins
#*Cache
#After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

Installation of Firefox for Android browser.

If Firefox for Android is as good as the Firefox Desktop version, I would like it on my Playbook.
Anybody could tell us how to easily install it?
It seems that getting the package and the dev tools we can do that but I'm looking for a one click (or 2 ..5) click(s) option.

It is not there yet, but you can try requesting it

How do I set the "When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid" in Firefox for Android?

Due to the security concerns from Heartbleed and Steve Gibson's excellent coverage on certification revocation, I have set "When an OCSP server connection fails, treat the certificate as invalid" on my desktop Firefox and now want to do the same on Firefox for Android. I cannot find anything in the settings menu to allow this. Is it done through about:config and if so, what is the setting name there?

hello mcvickerp, in about:config you can switch the setting "security.OCSP.require" to true.

Is it possible to retrieve a registration key for a hard copy of iWork 06? Moved and cannot locate disc, and replaced the computer it was originally installed on. When I transferred the program to new Macbook, the reg key apparently didn't transfer.

Is it possible to retrieve a registration key for a hard copy of iWork 06? Moved and cannot locate disc, and replaced the computer it was originally installed on. When I transferred the iWork from original Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro, the reg key apparently didn't transfer. Any ideas?

Do you still have access to the old MacBook Pro? If so, you can transfer the license by copying the com.apple.iwork.plist from Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences to the same location on the new Mac. Note that this IS the main HD Library, not your user library. I have found that these files are not moved during setup or migration.
Are you really running Tiger 10.4.7? If so, you should update to 10.4.11. You can find the updater here. You also might consider buying the retail disk of iWork '09 from a third-party such as Amazon.com or eBay. It will add a lot of features for you. iWork '09 does require Tiger 10.4.11 at a minimum.

I just bought a new 'Android' tablet, installed 'Firefox For Android' but cannot find the proper log-in button.

Firefox for Android doesn't have a traditional desktop-style home page, but instead shows a "Top Sites" screen based on your history. You can search from the address bar and start bookmarking sites important to you.
Now... regarding logging it, are you trying to log in to the Firefox Sync service to get data from your desktop browser, or log in to your email site, or something else?

I have a new Imac with OS Lion. When i use the apple migration tool to transfer from my PC to the Mac, it runs for two hours or so exchanging my pictures and address book, but when completed, I cannot locate anything on the Mac! Any suggestions?

You have posted to the older PPC iMac forum. You need to poster to a newer iMac forum.

Getting Firefox Mobile from a location other than the android market

I love firefox and would like to use it on my android tablet a Viewsonic VB730.
I realize this is not in the supported device list but would like to give it a try anyway.
The issue is that the VB730 does not have the Android Market app on it.
Is there another location I can get Firefox for Android? ( Perhaps Amazon.com ??? )
Thanks
Greg Richter

You can use http://bit.ly/fennecftp to download from outside the market. You will need to check back every 6 weeks to install the latest version. There is no automatic updates outside the market.
