Firefox Install Issue

pacman -S flashplugin
warning: directory permissions differ on usr/lib/mozilla/
filesystem: 700 package: 755
Flash didnt work in Firefox (via normal user, but worked with root)
Then I run
chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla/ ; pacman -S flashplugin
Installed normally without warnings and now works.

don't have to reinstall flashplugin. i was installed successfully the first time but for some reason you had /usr/lib/mozilla with wrong permission.
the only thing that you had to do is that chmod.

Firefox font issues

System: eMac G3 running 10.3.9
Firefox: current (2.0.0.14), but affected prior versions also
Classic installed? yes
User-specific? yes
User has unique language preferences as international options? Yes. All languages, however, require an essentially Latin characterset. (Not Central European, Cyrillic, Chinese etc.) Same settings cause Firefox no issues on a machine running Tiger.
Persists on restart, after verifying/repairing disk, after repairing permissions etc.
Have tried trashing ~/Caches/Firefox and ~/Application Support/Firefox. Have also tried doing this, switching language order (so an English is top) in System Preferences and restarting Firefox with no effect.
Have tried trashing /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/uid.*, ~/Caches/Firefox, ~/Application Support/Firefox and logging out and back in.
Symptoms: fonts in location bar, dialog boxes etc. are small, wobbly and generally peculiar-looking as if they have been written in a cramped, wobbly hand. Errors in console.log are roughly as follows (sorry, I'm having to do this from memory):
... cannot map file /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/Default Plugin.plugin ...
... cannot map file /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/JavaEmbeddingPlugin.bundle ...
... cannot map file /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/MRJPlugin.plugin ...
three lines of errors specifically about the MRJPlugin
... cannot map file /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.plugin ...
and similar lines for all entries in this directory (QT given as example)
Fonts in actual web pages appear OK.
Firefox -> Preferences -> Content shows nothing for Default Font. Under the advanced options, I have:
Fonts for: Western
proportional: serif
serif: <blank>
non-serif: <blank>
monospace: <blank>
Allow pages to choose own fonts is checked.
Default encoding: Western (ISO-something-I-forget-but-looked-normal)
Attempting to change a font yields an oddly restrictive list of options. For example, I might get "Times CY" or "Times CE" but not Times. All fonts seem to be non-English/non-Latin options.
No non-default fonts are installed at either user or system level other than any installed with applications such as Adobe Reader, AppleWorks etc. ~/Library/Fonts/ is empty.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hmm... Yes. I'll try that next time I'm on the machine in question. I'm pretty sure it is profile specific so would have thought a clean profile would solve issues that would show up here, but definitely worth checking.
Might be worth asking or searching at Mozilla's Firefox support forum-

That was to be my next port of call. I posted here first because it seems to be specific to a particular Mac/version of the OS and to be specific to a user account but not a profile. Mainly, though, I posted here first because I'm already registered here and hate the proliferation of accounts I seem to need online these days! (I know I can post on the Mozilla forums anonymously but I'm fussy and like to know if anybody answers without having to keep checking. There's just no pleasing some of us...)

Firefox focus issues

Hi!
I have a sometimes very irritating problem with Firefox. I have a Logitech G7 mouse with a tiltable wheel that I've set up to change tabs in forefox, and a sidebutton that I use to close tabs with. I'm just using xbindkeys to bind the mouse buttons to ctrl+page up, ctrl+page down and ctrl+w. The thing is that firefox sometimes seems to loose focus, and ignores keyboard commands. For example when I close my current tab with my mouse or by pressing ctrl+w, and then try to close the next tab too, it doesn't work. I have to click on another window or on the desktop to make firefox loose focus, and then click on firefox again. Then it starts working temporarily again.
I'm using Firefox 3.0b2 from AUR right now, but I had the same problem with Firefox 2 from extra too. I use gnome with metacity. I also have a couple of plugins installed, but I have tried without any plugins too. I also have the same problem on my laptop, and both my computers use Arch64.
So, does anyone know a solution to this? It's not such a big deal really, but I gets really annoying sometimes.

I use "wmii" and my Firefox always looses focus. In wmii, you can change to different TAGS (like Desktops in GNOME) using "ALT-#" If i have 3 tags opened and Firefox is running on tag-2 and I go to tag-3 to check my messages in pidgin and come back with "ALT-2" I do not see Firefox. I see only border of Firefox and between the border i see my background wallpaper . Clickign with mouse does not bring the focus in anyway..... Quite funny though.. It is happening very frequently , nearly all the time, even if I kill Firefox using <killall firefox-bin> or <kill -9 PID> , the problem remains as it is when I start Firefox again :\
This also seems to be a different problem from what I'm experiencing, but it seems like there are lots of different firefox focus issues. From your description it almost seems like firefox has crashed for you, since it is no longer drawing itself. Have you tried running firefox from a terminal, to see if you get any error messages?

Yesterday firefox installed a new version on my Mac OS X. Now my Mac keeps freezing immediately upon trying to use the AOL site Games.com when I register as a guest. This usually happens during the first game of pinochle. Although I have used computers with technical proprietary programs at work for over 25 yrs, I am a neophyte with all this web stuff and I need help.

Firefox Install Problems - Can anyone help me out?

Im not quite sure if I am posting this in the right place, so my apoligies of this is in the wrong part of the discussions.
Recently I downloaded Firefox to my iMac and have had no major problems. My problem is a small annoying one more than anything else. Every time I launch firefox I get a blue window to drag firefox to my applications folder, and the firefox "drive" shows up on the desktop. i just ignore dragging firefox to the applications folder as it is already there. I can use firefox with no issues. I just have to close out the window to drag the application and when i quit firefox eject the drive on the screen. A friend of mine had this happen on his iMac but cannot remember what he did to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Are you launching this from the Dock? It sounds like you have somehow created an alias to the Firefox install .dmg on your Dock instead of to the application itself in your Applications folder. Try clicking on the application in the Apps folder. If it starts correctly from there then drag that to your Dock and remove the incorrect alias (right click or control click for extended menu).

Firefox installed in Archlinux can display fonts after a new fonts installed

Hi! I'm a Linux user. Recently I migrate to Archlinux. At first time I used Firefox without issues. Then in the process the install and config software and the distro I installed new fonts. That fonts I used in IBM Linux distro, OpenClient based on RHEL 6.5. Thats fonts are a backup of that machine. The set of fonts include around of 4000 fonts: Windows 7 Fonts, Google Fonts, Droid and others. In RHEL I have not issues with this fonts. The fonts groups are:
<pre><nowiki>[elrengo@xpsl421x .fonts]$ ls -l
total 272
drwx------ 1 elrengo users 4096 Sep 8 2010 AnonymousPro-1.002.001

But in Archlinux after fonts installation Firefox can not show fonts, and I can not write in textbox. I do:
* Reset Firefox to defaults --> Do not works.
* Uninstall Firefox / Re install Firefox --> Do not works.
* Reinstall fontconfig package in Archlinux. --> Do not works.
* Update font cache --> Do not works.

SP2010 Foundation Post Install issues on development workstation - Database and Services

Just recently installed SP2010 Foundation for a development workstation. Platform isWin7 X64 pro, SQL 2008 (Developer edition)
(1) Looks like search has some configuration issues. This is in the Windows event log
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Administration.SPSearchJobDefinition (ID 38eefca2-d092-47f4-a833-23f8280c5f63) threw an exception. More information is included below.
The device is not ready.
(2) In Central Admin > Servers in Farm
Status - "Upgrade Available",
(3) In Central Admin > Manage Database Upgrade Status
Sveral of the Datbase(s) mention that upgrade is recommended, but one in particular mentions that the DB is too old?
WSS_Search_GHHTY
SPSearchDatabase
Database is too old and upgrade is required
Huh?
(4) Looking at my local SQL 2008 instance that SP2010 created, I see several DB's with "Config" in the name along with a guid on the end of the name. Is the result of re-running the configuration wizard several times while
I was correcting install issues?

here is question, i am assuming its fresh install not upgrade...
when you run the config wizard( you mentioned many times), which option you select from 2nd try to on ward....cannot disconnect this server from farm?
are you using any script to install ?
I would say run the config wizard without disconnecting and this server will host CA option.
from the central admin > manager server in farm...on top you will see farm version and config database name. note it
from the Manage database Upgrade status page note all the db names
now match it on sql and keep those and all other should gone now as a clean process.
Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

Firefox 11 Issue with rollover buttons, or...?

I've created a top-level navigation scheme in Muse, consisting of 4 tabs.
Demand Generation | Marketing Automation | Marketing Operations | Blog
The first tab's rollover functionality (Demand Generation) works fine, No matter where I move my mouse on this tab, the rollover works fine and the sub-menus display properly.
The other 3 tabs seem to have gaps in the rollover hotspots. If you move your mouse across any of the text (Marketing Automation | Marketing Operations | Blog) you'll notice that the rollover functionality appears and then dissappears at different places along the text.The sub-menus also appear and dissapear at different spots as well.
I've checked the 'Edit Together' box within the navigation, but can't figure out why only the first tab works and not the rest.
BTW: This is only an issue in Firefox . It works fine in IE.
Click here to see for yourself: http://www.crowds2crowds.com
Any idea what might be happening? Is it just a Firefox 11 issue or something else. I've checked each tab in Muse and they are all configured exactly the same. Its very odd that only the first tab works.
4/23/12 Update: This issue is also occuring with Safari.

I see the issue you're talking about, do you mind sending me your .muse file so I can take a look? Please send it to muse-support at adobe.com, along with a link to this thread. Please put "Attn: Colby" in the subject.
Thanks,
Colby

Mac OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues

Hi,
I have a Mac Powerbook G4 with OS X installed and Adobe CS3.
I've installed a font. The font works in Photoshop and Illustrator
but not in Flash CS3. Why? I've put the font in the Library/Fonts
folder and the User/Fonts folder and it still doesn't show up in
Flash. Apparently this is a problem for a number of people see
another forum here:
MAC
OSX: Flash CS3 Font Install Issues Forum
Please let me know what to do to fix this. I need to be able
to work with the font in all three applications Flash, Photoshop
and Illustrator.

Hi davidd61713525,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to. A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk. There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
And a similar older one:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
I would try the following options:
Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not. You can try running a disk and permissions repair. After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion. If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know. I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

I have Mozilla Firefox installed, w/. my Home Page setup to be opened on It every time. I can open a new window on It too, but when I open a new tab, every time open this new tab w/. Untitled Page. I wanna It opening w/. my Home Page.

Firefox is coded to open new tabs in a blank page. That may change in Firefox 4. I don't know.
In the meantime, there is an add-on called Tab Mix Plus that I think provides that option. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/

Re-Installing Issue

Welcome to the forum!
Made sure the disks are clean? I'd call Apple on an install issue if it's new or if you suspect a damaged disk and you're the registered user.
Which OS are your running? QuickTime Version?

Webutil install issue

Hello,
I have a strange WebUtil install issue on 10gIAS 10.1.2.0.2. I downloaded the 1.0.6 WU version and put it into a webutil directory under forms (which the pre-configuration of AS seem to assume) and when I call the forms servlet with ?config=webutil the "RegisterWebUtil - Loading WebUtil Version 1.0.6" shows but the main applet doesn't load. The webutil HTML template is found and looks OK in View Source but no applet. The config section has a archive_jini but it behaves as if the main jar can't be found(?) Nothing extra in the jinit-console, even at log level 5. webutil.cfg is copied to forms/server and frmwebutil.jar to forms/java.
Suggestions appreciated,
Nik

Hi,
Can you check Vitual Path of WebUtil in the config file ..\forms\server\forms.conf?
I would like to see your files
..\forms\server\default.env

Firefox performance issues

So far I really like Arch... but any help with this problem would be great.
I have moved from Gentoo to Arch and so far really like it. I am using LVM on LUKS encrypted partition, with KDE base for a desktop manager. This all works perfectly and I am using yaourt to install from teh AUR repos.
The only problem I have, and it is one that would possibly force me back onto another distro is; Firefox performance and website looks.
As a lot of work I do is through a web browser I need this to be working real well. These problems do not occur on a netbook I also have with Ubuntu 10.04 and Firefox installed.
The problems;
1) speed of browsing - This is very slow going to new pages and refreshing
2) some web pages do not display correctly, sections seem to be moved further down the page as though the frames don't all fit in properly.
This is what I have installed that is related to these problems;
firefox-branded (AUR)
openjdk6
icedtea-web
flashplugin
ttf-bitstream-vera
ttf-dejavu
xf86-video-intel
lib32-intel-dri
I have tried;
a) unticking 'allow pages to choose their own fonts' in Firefox preferences
b) changing layout.css.dpi from -1 to 0 in about:config
c) removing firefox-branded and using firefox-branded-bin
My environment;
2.6.37-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 8 08:34:35 CET 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU P6100 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
lspci |grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
4 GB RAM
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

I can recommend firefox-pgo-beta from AUR. It's really fast, and it looks very good. I think it uses system cairo. I actually set firefox to use the Ubuntu font by default everywhere, and it works very good.
You could also try moving Firefox's cache to a ramdisk. That is supposed to increase speeds even more. Instructions are found in the wiki.
Also, since you are using KDE, you might wanna check out the 'Oxygen KDE' extension for firefox. It makes Firefox a bit slower, but on the other hand it blends in really well in KDE. This is found in kde-look.org. Here is my screenshot included as an example: http://i.imgur.com/UPkQi.png

I was trying to activate my CS3 and got help from chat until he said it was an installing issue. The application opens and then closes unexpectedly.

I just got a new mac and I'm trying to download my Adobe CS3 onto it. I was able to download and then I tried to activate it. I entered the CS3 serial number and then asked for the serial number of the older version. I originally bought CS2 on disc and downloaded it onto my old mac and from there bought an upgrade to CS3. I no longer have the discs or box for CS2 and so I do not have the CS2 serial number. I contacted chat support who helped until I reached the point where I could open the application but then it would quit immediately and say "Adobe Update quit unexpectedly." Then he said it was an installing issue and turned me to the forums. Help, please?

JohnEden I would recommend running all available uninstallers to remove the current installation. The uninstallers are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once you have ran the uninstallers then please also utilize the CC Cleaner Tool for a complete removal. You can find details on how to utilize the CC Cleaner Tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

Error when installing issue in Content Viewer

Hi,
I have a strange error in my Content Viewer.
When downloading it stalls and a message says "Could not install issue, relaunch app and download your purchase again" (my translation from swedish).
It sometimes stalls when downloading and sometimes when installing issue.
Anyone got a solution or having the same problem?
Br
Henrik

Henrik, this can be either or. The internal Acrobat.com servers seem to have download issues once a week or so.
The best way I think you can determine this is if the download is failing at the same point during the download. If it is, it's a problem with the folio. If it's not, then it's a temporary problems with the servers.
If it is a problem with the folio, there's no straightforward answer -- but if you were able to download that folio recently, delete or update the articles you've added since.
If you have no idea what's causing it, you can either start deleting articles, or try updating them first.
