Firefox for windows won't display absolute positioned divs over flash video

I have a website that has a brightcove video player. About a month or so ago, I was able to float divs over the video player so that they would display on top of the video player, using absolute positioning.
You can see the player here:
lifeminute.tv/evv/8+9+10+11+12+34/widget300s
In Firefox (mac), Chrome (windows), Internet explorer (windows) and Safari (mac) it all still displays properly. In Firefox (windows) the video player ignores the Z-index I assign it, and always places the divs underneath it, UNLESS I give the floating div a solid background color.
When I assign the following styles to the div containing the overlay, I can see the text properly, but of course the video is obscured.
background-color: #FFFFFF;
height: 158px;
position: absolute;
top: 4px;
width: 275px;
If I remove the background-color element the whole overlay pops to the back of the stack behind the video again.
Is this a FF windows bug or am I just missing something obvious?

At times you have to add wmode="transparent" attribute to the flash video embed code.

How can install the Fractal Image plug-in into Firefox for Windows 7?

I have the plug-in necessary to view fractal images built with the now no longer Iterated Systems program "Fractal Imager." These are files with the .fif extension and the plug-in is needed to view them. The plug in I have is fully functional. The problem I am having is that I needed instructions on how to upload this plug-in into Firefox for Windows.

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

Some windows won't display?

For some reason, some of my windows in dreamweaver will not display correctly, or much at all. For instance, when you first open dreamweaver and select "new dreamweaver site" all I get is a window that displays a few text fields and then whatever is behind that window (almost like the entire window is transparent, except when I move the window, it doesn't change to match what is behind it) My system exceeds the dreamweaver minimum requirements.
I operate on windows xp
I am running the trial version.

I have, Thank you. I kinda sorta fixed the problem, I discovered that when I move the window off of the screen, it appears correctly, annoying but I dont know what else to do.
Thanks alot for replying

64-bit Firefox for Windows

I have been getting OOM crashes with increasing frequency since the FF versions went into the high 20s.
Here are two recent examples:
bp-83e13b3c-d74f-457d-b85d-1b73d2140624
bp-26ecae7c-6318-4f6a-baaa-e47062140623
and one not so recent:
bp-8d49562a-07b8-451a-b65e-8f80a2140410
I would expect OOM problems are directly related to limitations of the memory model of a 32-bit process.
Please promote the nightly 64-bit builds to a supported platform.
For an argument why making 64-bit Firefox officially supported makes technical sense please have a look at Peter Bright's article:
http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/11/64-bit-firefox-for-windows-should-be-prioritized-not-suspended/

jscher2000: yes, the virtual size of my firefox.exe process typically hovers around 3.1-3.3GB. This and the frequency of crashes (60 on this computer this year, predominantly OOM) leads me to believe I am coming up to limits of the 32-bit build.
John99: in my case safe mode approximately halves the VM size of the process so it moves it away from the 32-bit "danger zone"; however, while I am happy to disable all add-ons for a one-off test, I would not do that for my day-to-day use.
Yes, switching add-ons off and keeping a smaller number of tabs and windows open would reduce memory pressure - but these are workarounds, not solutions. If IE and Chrome can keep up with my browsing patterns, shouldn't Firefox also be able to?

Where can I down load older versions of FireFox for windows and Mac for testing my application? I need to have copies of version 3, 4 and 5.

My tesm develops .net applications that must support many browsers and we need access to download older versions of FireFox for windows and mac computers, so that we can test our application prior to rolling out a new version.
Where can I download older versions of FireFox

Firefox 3.5 is an antique version that is chock-full of security vulnerabilities.<br>
Firefox 3.6 also contains security vulnerabilities; it stopped being supported on April 24.
* [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/ www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/]
If you can't run the latest version because your system doesn't meet the requirements, it's highly recommended that you use another browser that is secure. TenFourFox is a third-party build of Firefox that is kept up-to-date and runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and PowerPC Macs (as a side note, I've never seen the site go down; whatever problems James noticed 9 months ago must've been a fluke).
* [http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/]
If your system can run the latest version, but you want to downgrade because you've experienced problems, please start a new thread and someone will try to help you.
If you understand the security risks but want to downgrade anyway,
* Firefox 3.6: [http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html]
* Firefox 3.5: [ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.5.19/ ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.5.19/]

When I downloaded Firefox for windows, the security scan wouldnt allow it. I operate on windows 7 and was downloading mozzila firefox8

Hi annarepublic78,
As per the above mentioned error, your Win CS6 download was not complete, either it was in process or was interrupted. This is the only reason you see the MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.crdownload. Here .crdownload means the download is in process.
Please try to download it again on the Desktop and please make sure that the download completes successfully(without the .crdownload extension).

Adding a Layer (absolute position div) to a locked page

Maybe I am just not understanding templates but I have a
really simple one that has one editable region called "content". I
want to add a absolute positioned div to the content area but DW
tells me this would require changing code that is locked by the
template. I thought that the editable area automatically put in by
DW would accommodate the added code (css) that DW puts in when
adding a template to the page.
So what is the Editable area called "Head" used for anyways
if not for situations like this?
Thanks

Here's the problem with layers in template child pages, and a
simple
solution.
When you DRAG a layer onto the page in DW (this means you
click on the layer
icon in the Insert Toolbar and drag the layer on the page),
DW wants to put
the code for that layer immediately under the body tag, e.g.,
BEFORE DRAG -
<body...>
<table>
AFTER DRAG -
<body ...>
<div id="foo" style="position:absolute; ...>LAYER
STUFF</div>
<table>
In a template child page, this region is usually not part of
your editable
region, and so the layer's code is rejected by the template
engine. This is
a bad thing.
If instead of dragging the layer onto the page, you use
INSERT | Layer, that
should work provided your cursor is in an editable region,
but since
editable regions are usually within tables or other layers,
you have just
broken one of the rules listed above. This is also a bad
thing.
THE SOLUTION -
Open your template page in DW, and create a special place
where it is SAFE
to put your layers. In code view, find this -
</body>
and click so that your cursor insertion point is just to the
left of
</body>.
Now, use INSERT | Template Objects > Editable Region, and
name this region
"Layer Pad" or something like that.
When you save your template page, all your child pages will
now have the
LayerPad editable region on them.
THE BIG FINISH -
On any child page where you need a layer, just click in this
editable
region, and use INSERT | Layer. Bada bing, bada boom.

Preferences window won't display along with other windows.

I am trying to edit my preferences. It only displays a little hint of a window with an X to close it. The same thing for reporting a bug. Basically I have not been able to get one popup application window to display.
I am on Vista Ultimate x64 with dual monitors running in 2650x1600 resolution.
Basically I can't even report the problem as a bug since that feature won't display the window either. Hopefully Apple is monitoring this board.

The same thing is happening to me in XP. I couldn't even log on to this site as a window (probably asking to save my password) is popping up but all it shows is a small title bar with an X. No preferences, can't report bugs or even customize the toolbar.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled and Firefox for windows 7 will not open. There is no error message--it just doesn't open, even in safe mode. What do I do?

My computer is set to auto update for Windows 7 Home Premium and for Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. I am also running Norton 360. There was a major update for Office on 12/10/14 that seems to be when my problems started. This month, every time my updates have caused a reboot, Mozilla has failed to open. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times, and it has only lasted a day or two before it crashes again. This last time it will still not open. All the instructions to troubleshoot seem to be based on the idea that the program is open and just has issues. I can't even get it to open up in Safe Mode.
I have tried to reinstall, and it says that it will launch automatically when the install is complete, but it is not working. Since Norton scans every download before it runs, I'm not certain if that is where the problem is since I never get the window that shows the step by step installer for Firefox.
What do I need to do?

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. A clean reinstall is not the same as a regular reinstall performed using the built in installer. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

Nano formatted for Windows won't appear on Mac?

Rec'd replacment 2GB nano yesterday. Hooked it up to my iMac G4 running OS X version 10.4.7. The nano charged, but does not appear on my Mac and has not synched. I notice that it is formatted for Windows. Cannot restore or update as the computer does not show an iPod connected.
Do I need to get a different nano or am I missing something?
thanks in advance

Yes, when connecting your iPod to a different type of computer (a Mac), you will need to format it for Windows (by restoring your iPod through the Updater).
Since you can't do this (since your Updater won't recognize your iPod), try resetting your iPod, then putting your iPod into disk mode.
Put it into disk mode, then try restoring it again.

How do I download Firefox for Windows XP on an iMac?

I have just installed Windows XP on an iMac (which otherwise runs Mac OS 10.6.3). I want to download Firefox to run under XP on it, but of course I have no browser on that part of the machine, so I tried to download it through the Firefox on my Mac OS system.
The website, being very clever, thinks I want Firfox to run under Mac OS, and that's what it selects. How do I persuade it to let me download the installer for Windows XP?

Thanks Tony.
In the end, I noticed a little link saying something like "All languages and operating systems." Probably the same as your link. I managed to download it through there. OPerating beautifully now (and also apparently with the system, it installed Internet Explorer, so all was not as dire as thought!)
Thanks again!

CREDIT NOTE FOR WINDOW HIRE,BANNER DISPLAY- URGENT.

HI ALL ,
well can any one explain how a credit note is issued on the basis of contarct form for the following : WINDOW HIRE,BANNER DISPLAY,EXHIBITION EXPENSES,VAN SUBSIDY.
NOTE : PL DONT ASSUME THE ABOVE AS CONTARCTS.
Thanks,
Jerry.

Hi Jerry,
There can be 2ways of doing this. One through procurement (MM) and next in SD itself.
MM
When a customer is displaying your banner, you are basically getting a service from him. So, you can start the process by creating a PO for window display and then you can create an invoice and you can pay the invoice to him.
SD
In the second way, the customer will display the banner etc...and at the end, he will request for a Credit memo. i.e. Create a Credit Memo request.
Now on the approval of this reqst, you can create a credit memo.
Hope this helps you
You can reward if this helps you

How to delete firefox for windows?

program uninstall does not work

Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Please Send me a copy of this system (firefox for windows and also linix) install disc. I have no internet solfware on my computer.

Got virus in internet explorer,(window 7) I can't hook into any wireless connections. I figured that if I have Firefox then I can connect to a wireless hot spot.

First, have your computer cleaned of virus and mal-ware. Many local public
libraries have computers with internet access. Buy a thumb drive. At the library
enter '''Mozilla.org,''' when you get to the site, select to download the full installer.
While you are there, download several of the listed programs below.<BR><BR>
Some good news, Microsoft has updates for Internet Explorer.<BR><BR>
Good Luck<BR><BR>
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Nano formated for windows won't work on my mac

I just bought the 2 gig new nano but it is formated for windows and I use a mac. Itunes does not recoignize it and neither does my finder. I tried to reset the nano but it won't even do that. Granted, the nano isn't fully charged, but it reads more than half charged, so i'm assuming it would be ready to sync with itunes 7.0.
Anyone else have the same problem or at least know a solution?
Thanks in advance, Haskell
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Sorry abou that. I found out by reading more of the posts that the correct way to reset the new nano ipod is by pressing both the menu AND enter (center) key at the same time. When I read the apple faq's, it said to press the menu button only.... now everything sync properly. Thanks again.
