Firefox freezes on sites into which I enter info, like survey site and especially facebook.

Firefox freezes on sites into which I enter info, like survey sites and especially facebook. On a particular survey site, I filled in the dots for how much I like or disliked their product. After I was done, my firefox screen went grey and my computer became unresponive. I had to shut it down via task manager. The biggest problem is with face book. If I write long messages then I am okay... most of the time. It's inconsistent. But the result is usually a grey screen and I must follow the procedure above. I tried the same thing on myspace and oddly I didn't have this problem. Also, on facebook, while typing a message it will not scroll down when I get to the end of the page, such as this page just did now. Therefore I can't see what I'm writing at certain points. I recently reinstalled Vista Premium Home edition and then installed the newest version of firefox. Everything was fine til yesterday. So I reinstalled firefox and change my lag time to -1, but that didn't help either. Had a problem with adobe earlier too, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. That's all I can think to tell you. Thanks for the help!

Hello Kelly.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

Help! I have downloaded Firefox 4 on my Mac which is running OS 10.4.11 and it will not open. It has displaced my previous Firefox 3 . How can I recover previous Firefox (and all my tabs)?

I have downloaded Firefox 4 on my Mac which is running OS 10.4.11 and it will not open. It has displaced my previous Firefox 3. How can I recover my previous Firefox (and all my tabs?)

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Have you managd to sort this out yet? Happy to take a look and offer suggestions if you haven't...
Immediate thoughts are that listing different products as attributes of designs (rather than lising the product, and selecting a design attribute) could mess up your freight charges as attributes will all share the same shipping weight and dimensions.
Have you considered Product Grouping instead? Group all the products in a particular design. The drawback here would be that BC displays all products grouped together as one single product (with a dropdown selection to switch between options), meaning you would loose the ability to display catalogues of a specific type of product. The functionality seems to use ajax to reload the procuct when you select a different option so in theory you could probably use javascript to create your own product grouping.
To display a link to the large product view use {tag_button,Your Text} inside your small product layout.
There is a free tutorial on Kiyuco for overriding the default Poplet display to swap out the large image.
Hope this helps

How to create a hierarchy in the iTunes site into which to group podcasts

Within iTunes > Store> Podcasts > News & Politics PRI (Public Radio International) seems to have a kind of 'subsection' or 'subcategory' to itself, which has its own hierarchy and - in the bottom half of the screen - a further subdivision of and for its various podcasts, and their episodes.
I'm creating podcasts for my employer and need to do the same thing - so that all of our future podcasts can be grouped.
How do I do create a group within the iTunes store environment into which I can put future podcasts?
Is it in the XML I'm creating - or do I need to approach Apple?
TIA!

You can't. I asked Apple about the same thing just recently. These pages are created by the iTunes staff and are essentially "featured" podcasts. Much like the featured podcasts the content providers are selected by the iTunes staff based on a few criteria, mainly that you have to have 6 or more podcasts with content that they feel is of interest to listeners/viewers and is regularly updated. You can't request that they build one for you...you have to be selected. So create a bunch more podcast feeds, keep them updated and interesting and hope they find you.

Firefox 4 loops back a page when entering password on secure sites

When verifying credit card details on secure sites, eg Verified by Visa ( password needed to confirm valid credit card details with card issuer) Firefox goes back a page asking for details again, instead of confirming card and placing order. Have had to place several orders by phone, before I twigged it was new browser. Have reverted to 3.6.17 for time being

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4 The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

Expand a Stand-Alone Primary Site into a Hierarchy with a Central Administration Site

I have a stand alone SCCM server in my Lab. Now I need to install a CAS and add the stand alone SCCM site to the hierarchy.
As I have searched on Google the steps are quite simpler I have followed the below link for doing the same.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj591551.aspx
http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2013/05/03/install-a-configmgr-2012-sp1-central-administration-site/
But when i click on install, the installation failed at this particular step:-
In the log file below is the error I received:-
I am only using a single Domain account throughout the environment and SQL and SCCM has been installed with the very same account.
Stand alone site has been installed on the default SQL instance and I have created a named instance "CAS" for CAS installation on the very same SQL Server. The domain account has sufficient rights on the SQL and the Machine accounts have the local
admin privileges both for CAS and stand alone and also on SQL.

On my work computer, on the work network (not at home), FireFox can't get into gmail, nor see graphics on this site or ones like Linkedin. Settings to change?

Got a new computer at work that is very locked down. I am running Firefox off my USB since they give us only IE 8 and a very locked down Chrome that has no access to extensions,
At work (not at home), when I try to get into gmail, I get all these certificate errors. Granting exceptions doesn't work.
Another problem is when I go to sites like this one, or like Linkedin, it is all text, no graphics. But when I use this same computer on my home network, there is no problem.
Would appreciate if there is some setting I can change on this to enable access.

On your work computer, you're probably behind a proxy server. When you make exceptions and proceed to a site, often you will get an incomplete page load because many sites now use multiple servers and the exception only covers the main one.
Assuming that is the problem, you may be able to import whatever certificate IE and Chrome are using to get around this problem. (They both share the Windows certificate store.) In particular, there would be an master certificate that the proxy is using to sign its fake SSL certificates that you could export from IE and import into Firefox as an Authority. I assume this would work on a Portable version of Firefox, but I've never heard of anyone trying it.

I can not get into some of my applications like Microsoft Office and OpenOffice and more, FireFox states application not found, but I have allways been able to pull them up. HELP! in English

When I click the start button there are a number of applications I should be able to click on and go into. Lately a box pops up and reads...Application Not Found. I have not had this problem before. I can not pull up PPT., Word or any applications. Even when I click on the Firefox icon to browse a box will pop up... Open With. Choose the program you want to use to open this file. File: firefox. exe. This never happened before. I am an online student at CTU and this is causing big problems in my studies. Can you help.

I cannot access my Site 2 (of 2 sites) even when I enter the PW for Site 2

I have created Site 1 and Site 2. I have made both 'private' by having the same UserName but a different PW for each.
When entering Username and PW for the second site I always go straight to Site 1. I have tried everything but still I go only to Site 1 every time.
Can anyone see what I may be doing wrong ?
Thanks for any help
DL2

the two sites also have two different addresses:
site 1: http://web.mac.com/USERNAME/iWeb/Site1Name
site 2: http://web.mac.com/USERNAME/iWeb/Site2Name
you can choose which to come first when you enter http://web.mac.com/USERNAME by moving the site at the first position in the "site-organizer" in iWeb!
Hope this helps,

Unable to read hotmail in firefox, but can in IE which I don't like

When I go to my hotmail account, the messages come up but I am not able to open them or delete them. I can do both in IE but I do not like IE. This seems to happen every few days.
Also have a problem loading gmail in Firefox but not in IE.

Hi shearglass, 
this was normal to happen. It's a common practice nowadays not to keep all cookies and deleting firefox cache frequently (I do it all the time..) but also (in order to see what is going on) you can use an addon like 
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cookies-manager-plus/?src=ss Cookies Manager]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cookie-monster/ Cookie Monster]
 but it's not necessary!
Cookies are used by sites to track preferences and store sessions, so if a previous session was already saved it couldn't work with the new password. You could see this article for details: 
[[Fix login issues on websites that require a username and password]]
 You can also set Firefox to keep cookies from sites until you close it, so next time you start Firefox it won't remember your previous logins!
 In this article: [[Enable and disable cookies that websites use to track your preferences]] you will find more details on this! Hope that helped you!

Firefox freezes all the time, can't do nothing, CTL+ALT+DEL and then cancel and problem is solved for a few seconds, Win7 (64bit)

When opening firefox, it takes forever before i can do anything. It freezes and I have to use CTRL+ALT+DEL and then press cancel cause it says firefox is running. Problem is solved for a little time.

Solved
Guys! i had the same problem before i fixed it. Firefox gets frozen only if you have fully charged your '''Bookmarks(toolbar/menu/unsorted)''' or '''History logs'''.So you should remove all your history logs and decrease the full bookmarks. it did work perfectly on my PC.
Trust me
BUUUUUUUUUUUT...
in case of misfunction, then you should google the issue very deeply.

Why, as of last night, do I keep getting the message that the security certificate is not valid on sites I use all the time, like my hotmail account, paypal, facebook, etc?

I even got that message when I tried to post my question! It says that Firefox cannot verify a secure connection with mozilla, or whatever website I'm trying to visit, because the security certificate is not valid. It even gives the dates that the certificate will be valid, and the date shows that it is valid. So frustrating!! I have to "override" Firefox every time.

I have the same problem but I've corrected the time on my windows clock and I still got the same problem. Do you know if there's anything else I can do?

Firefox freezes sometimes when I try to open a web site in a new window.

For the past few weeks I am having an intermittent problem with firefox freezing. It happens when I try to open a site in a new window. Most of the time I have to go to task manager to close it and re-start. And almost always when I re-start it freezes for a second time and then I have to open it a third time. Usually if I try to restore a session it will happen over and over again so I have to start a new session. I have windows 7 and the latest version of firefox.

You need to update some plug-ins:

*Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using%20the%20Shockwave%20plugin%20with%20Firefox#w_installing-shockwave Installing ('''''or Updating''''') the Shockwave plugin with Firefox]

When Firefox freezes, how can I shut it down, and re-start it without it automatically going to the site which caused the problem in the first place ?

I have Firefox set so that when I start up, I have it set so that it automatically goes to my home page. However when it freezes, which it does on a daily basis, and I have to shut it down and re-start, it automatically goes to the site which caused the problem in the first place.
If I was a hacker, I would probably find it quite fun to design a virus to reintroduce bugs after they had been exterminated - except that Firefox seem to have got there first.

Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
When Firefox resumes after a crash, instead of resuming automatically, it will display a list of your previous windows and tabs and you can deselect problem pages.
(This assumes it wasn't a private browsing session.)

After I type in my login details and press "enter" on a website, Firefox freezes for around half minute.

After I type in my login details and press "enter" on a website, Firefox freezes for around half minute. This has gone on for around 5 months. I've tried disabling add-ons to my Firefox but they don't seem to affect this problem. My version is 17.0.1.
How do I combat this problem? Many thanks in advance.

Provide the website name.
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
