Firefox gets virus warning on loading Yahoo; Internet explorer loads without warning.

When firefox is my browser, if I try to go to Yahoo website, Avast immediately says it intercepted a virus. No such problem doing the same in internet explorer. However, I get to a private Yahoo board with no such warning.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe a malicious addon/toolbar is interfering here... it would also be interesting what's the exact wording of the avast message.

Close Internet Explorer 7 without alert

Does anyone know how to close Internet Explorer 7 without that alert: (when closing automatically)
"The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window.
Do you want to close this window ?"
Thanks!

Done!! I got it!!
I don't know why, but the following code closes the window without showing the message, and opens another one (using IE 7 !!):
<SCRIPT>
function test()
window.open("http://url","_top","resizable, maximized");
window.open("http://url","_blank","resizable, maximized");
win = top;
win.opener = top;
win.close ();
</SCRIPT>
<body onload=test()>

When I go to Yahoo Mail on Firefox the font is smaller than on Internet Explorer

When I use Internet Explorer the font in Yahoo Mail is nice and large and easy to read but when I use Firefox the font is too small. Can it be changed.
I am not just talking about within the e-mail itself but within the whole program.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

How do I get Firefox to import ALL my bookmarks from Internet Explorer?

I've recently installed Firefox on my WXP computer, to replace IE. During installation, Firefox automatically put up a dialog offering to import all my bookmarks (i.e. Favourites) from IE, and I accepted. The resulting page confirmed that my bookmarks had been imported. However, on looking at the actual list of bookmarks "Imported from IE", I saw that the main Favourite headings had been imported in alphabetical order - which is fine - but that the import had stopped at the letter S. That meant that some important main Favourite headings (e.g. "Travel") hadn't been imported.
I then went to your tutorial pages and followed the instructions for "Importing Personal Data from Other Browsers", asking for just bookmarks to be imported from IE. What happened was that once again, FF imported only the Favourite titles up to initial S. (And now, furthermore, all the imported ones were duplicates of the ones already imported at set-up). Would you tell me, please, what I need to do to get the complete list of Favourites imported from IE?
Thanks a lot.

I can not get any steaming videos to play, i have tried several different sites as well as updating to the latest firefox version and adobe flash player. Internet explorer will play streams fine. Streaming worked fine yesterday.

Steaming videos will not work on firefox, but will work on internet explorer.

Hi arpriltime,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
Hopefully this helps!

In an outgoing email message the "attach" document icon does not work in firefox. It does work when using internet explorer. How can I get the "attach" key to work when using firefox?

Using firefox, if I am composing a new message in my hotmail account the "attachment" icon is not active, so nothing happens when I click on it in order to attach one of my word documents.
The "attachment" icon is active when I am using hotmail and internet explorer.

Firefox 3 will not run on OS X 10.3.9, it requires at least 10.4
Try one of these browsers to see if you can access Hotmail - [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.19/ SeaMonkey 1.1.19] or [http://caminobrowser.org/download/ Camino 1.6.11]

Why did I get a TLS error message with Firefox but was successful when switching to Internet Explorer?

I was making an online transaction, pressed "go" (or its equivalent) and received TLS connection failed message.
I switched to Internet Explorer and "go" went ok first time.

The website may try to fallback to TLS 1.0 in a way that is no longer allowed in current releases or may be using a deprecated cipher suite.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar and use its search bar to locate this pref:
*security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts
You can double-click the line to modify the pref and add the full domain (TEXT) to this pref.
If there are already websites (domains) in this list then add a comma and the new domain (no spaces).
You should only see domains separated by a comma in the value column.
If this helps then you can contact this website and ask them to look into this.

Google Chrome and Firefox won't open any sites. Internet explore can.

Internet Explorer will run any sites. After installing google chrome and firefox its opens the browser but then when i enter a site, any site, it just wont go... It's not giving me an error message... i push the "enter" key and the busy locator, the circle thing that rotates to indicate the page is loading. it just pops for like 1 sec still remains on the main page.

Hello justinmendoza89, check if your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet#os=win7&browser=fx16 firewall] or other security software(antivirus, antispyware) prevent firefox access .

Menu is getting hidden behind pdf object in Internet Explorer.

Hi,
I am developing a web app, in which I am using object tag to show pdf files. The page is working fine in Chrome, Firefox browser and other browsers too except for Internet Explorer.
Problem:
The submenu options are getting hidden behind the pdf object tag in Internet Explorer(all).
Reference:
1. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27655374/sub-menu-is-hidden-behind-pdf-type-object-issue-in-internet-explorer?noredirect=1#comment43754776_27655374
2. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27655470/sub-menu-going-behind-the-pdf-using-html-object-only
I have looked into many blogs and forums but couldn't find the solution.
Please don't suggest the solution which is proposed in the below link,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25760079/jquery-combobox-behind-embedded-object-ie-only
as the above link is for select drop down, and my submenu are based on ul li tags.
Guys, is it a known bug which is in IE?
Thanks

This should be a bug in IE, you can try submit it to the IE connect and wait for MS's reply.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

For email links from state of Montana employees to pdf files: Firefox pulls up a blank screen but Internet Explorer pulls up the pdf file.

Whenever I get an email from a state of Montana employee with a link to a pdf file, the link does not work - it just pulls up a blank screen in Firefox. However, when I put the same link in Internet Explorer, the link works and the pdf file appears on my screen. This prevents me from efficiently using email. Here is an example of a link I recently received: "As noted in the [http://leg.mt.gov/content/committees/interim/2011-2012/water-policy/agenda/wpic09132011.pdf agenda pdf] agenda, the Committee will discuss a variety of water-related topics..."

How do I install the Firefox plugin it's talking about on that page?
I only see directions to install Adobe Reader.
I cannot install a different version of Adobe. As I mentioned above, I do not have Admin privileges on this computer.
This is the version of Adobe that my employer has decided we will be using, and I do not have a vote.
I can change internal settings, and I can install Firefox plugins, but I can't install programs themselves - I don't have the necessary Admin rights to do so.
Thanks anyway, but I don't have the Admin rights needed to install Adobe Reader in the manner mentioned in this article. (I have the full Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.09).
