Firefox no longer works. Goes off searching but does not return with site requested.

firefox is default browser. when I use explorer, it works.

You can check if you can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves but does not open with MS Word - but it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically

    When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves it but does not open with MS Word. But it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically (this is the behavior I would like with .docx docs.) In preferences -- applications - it is just says "content type" is "microsoft word document" but doesn't give a way to choose .docx specifically. Is there another way to do this?

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
    Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
    1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
    2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
    3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
    4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
    5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
    6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

    Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

  • My computer suddenly decides not to work and turns on but does not go past the grey apple screen with the loading wheel.. it will not go to my desktop. What should i do?

    can somebody please help me fix this issue, i have been sitting at my computer all last night and this morning trying to figure it out. It could be the hardrive or anything really i just need to get it working. Alot of important things that need to be done using this computer and i am freaking out.

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

    No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
    Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

    Thanks to cor-el for the suggestion given in the link. Sadly I have to report:
    1) It is not a bookmark problem and it makes no difference whether I put
    www.adobe.com or 192.150.18.117 in the address bar.
    2) Cookies are allowed and there are no exceptions set
    3) All cookies have been deleted
    4) network.http.sendRefererHeader is already set to 2
    That deals with the items in the linked document.
    Additional information:
    5) I can get into the adobe site from a clean "in memory" installation of PuppyLinux using Seamonkey using the same router and dhcp setup.
    6) un-installing all Mozilla products - rebooting and re-installing makes no difference even when I remove the mozilla folder from docs&settings.
    so as I said in previous post (as annonymous) not a lot makes sense.
    Bear in mind that I have no problem running tracert in a command window

    Hmm... I've had this macbook for a while now (?? a year maybe ??) and about 2 months ago I started having this exact issue, close lid to sleep returning it would not wake and a hard reset (hold power for 5+ seconds) is required.
    I too discovered such links as this and also the older (also unanswered):
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8690782
    But as others have said there doesn't appear to be a solution?
    RESET THE SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) does appear to work, however the issue returns again after a few days or weeks... I cannot find anything that guarantees to return the issue it just starts happening again after a while.
    The battery appears to be in okay condition, although I think it might run down a little faster now days than when I first bought it, but I assume this is to be expected.
    I also had suffered from what sounds like an issue with wifi weirdness - signal would drop to 0% suddenly, no longer "see" the wifi hub that it has been using forever (although it still, randomly, sees other nearby hubs) for no apparent reason, and that kind of thing - all these times the only solutions that have worked have been to stuff around with the wifi hub turing off extas, flipping from "Auto" to a specific Number (1 to 13) and turning on (OR OFF!) Mixed B/G to just B OR G... very strange... and random.
    The only things I've changed recently are, upgraded to snow leopard (from leopard) and got an external display. But I cannot say if the incidents coincided or not, as I didn't realise the sleep/wake issue was an issue for a while, as the first few times I just thougth "Oh, something weirds happened... Reset..." and didnt' really think too much about it until it happened for the 3rd or 4th time and I could see there was a pattern...
    The external monitor via minidisplay port adaptor i got from teh apple store.
    I don't use it with the machine closed or external keyboard/mouse, although I've heard you can do this, I use the monitor as a secondary display when I'm at the desk, the rest of the time I just use it as I have always done.
    I would love to see a solution to this, I guess I could try warranty, but I dunno if the issue is warranty "level"...?

  • Java bean, works in Integration Engine but does not work in Adapter Engine.

    In connection to the following thread:
    PayloadZipBean - variable filename inside the archive
    I am trying to use the same bean.
    However I can see, that the bean is working correctly when I use Integration Engine.
    But if I am using ICo (AAE) and using the same bean in the receiver, I can see, that the bean gets called but does not work correctly.
    The audit log added to my bean shows, that the bean could read the filename correctly from the Dyanic Config in the message, but it cannot write the same into the message.
    Could you please help on this?

  • CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES= ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE( ) works in one system but does not in other

    Hi folks,
    We are facing an issue here with a custom web dynpro application that export an excel. The following piece of code has been written in this application to export an excel:
    cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
           EXPORTING
             i_filename      = c_filename
             i_content       = xtext
             i_mime_type     = c_mimetype
             i_in_new_window = abap_false
             i_inplace       = abap_false ).
    Now, the issue is this - it works fine in one system but does not in other system. HttpWatch shows ERROR_HTTP_INVALID_SERVER_RESPONSE in the system where it does not work. Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Shiromani

    Hi Shiromani,
    You mean "Other System" is other PC. If so, it seems that there is an issue with browser
    Please check the below SAP note
    1679126 - Server sends timeouts that cannot be reproduced
    Also, compare the browsers versions in both systems.

  • Reading message from MQ- works in WSAD (IDE) but does not work outside WSAD

    Read from MQ:
    Same code works within WASD but does not work outside WSAD.

    PDL - thanks for the suggestions - here are the results:
    A button on the form that executes "this.print();" works fine.
    Changing "this" to "event.target" results in the same error.
    document.getElementById("PDFObj").Print(); works fine.
    However, the reason that I'm using ".postMessage([message])" instead of ".Print()" is because I actually have a toolbar that has save, print, zoom in, zoom out, page up, page down, etc.... I simplified the switch statement in the post above to only include print, but in reality has a case for each of the functions above. The postMessage call is triggering the error, since the catch statement is printing out the error message above. Any idea why this would work with Professional but not Reader.

  • Firefox shows an unknown certificate error while Chrome does not for same site

    On a site at which Credit Card payment info is shown, Firefox is reporting a certificate error while Chrome does not. Prefer to use FF but need to know if warning is right or not. Have cleared the cache and still get the warning. This is new to FF as we've used it on this site for several years.

    HI khetheri,
    In order to better test the certificate may we request the certificate without the private keys? I have some backup from the security team if this is possible.
    There is a temporary work around as well but I don't recommend turning on all certificates to make sure it is not a compatibility error(ish)
    It is possible to check if it is being detected as a bad certificate in Firefox itself to eliminate compatibility issues.
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
    # Search for '''browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert ''' and set it to true to try the certificate normally.
    Looking forward to your reply!

  • I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

    My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
    The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
    I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
    Please help.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • Elitebook works on battery and charges it - but does not start with it (only starting on AC)

    Hey,
    my 8460P only starts up when connected to AC power. Even with a fully charged battery it does not boot, i also have tested this with a replacement battery - but batteries are working on another Probook.
    Strange: If I unplug the AC directly after powering ON, the 8460p continues running on battery.
    What exactly happens:
    I have fully charged battery and no AC connected. I press the power button, the CPU fan makes noise (full throttle), LEDs are glowing: Wireless, Power and HDD. The DVD drive is initializing... and then after 3 seconds device shuts down - BUT the power LED keeps glowing.
    If I then press the Power button once again, nothing happens.
    But when I connect the AC back, the SCROLL LED glows for about 3-4 seconds and then turns off.
    What I did already: The well-known hard reset (disconnect everything, hitting power 30seconds): no success.
    Latest BIOS is installed. Factory defaults loaded... nothing. Played around with different BIOS settings (everything which sounds for "power" or "AC" tried...) nothing.
    This is not OS related - so updating any drivers or software does not make sense. 
    Further remarks:
    Also from the sleep modes (hibernate or S3) it will not wake up from battery... again only when connected to AC!
    Any solution/idea? please support. 
    Thanks a lot!
    regards,
    G

  • WRTU54G-TM T Mobile, works fine in wireless but does not work in WIRED connection

    This is really weird. This router has worked fine for little over years. It has it's up's and downs but yesterday. It stopped working on the wired mode. I can see my computers connected on the DHCP list but it does not show internet. On my WIRED computers connected to the router, it says no internet access and cannot find gateway. it is setup as DHCP automatic like it has been for ages. I used the setup wizard with no success. IT SAYS NO ROUTER FOUND, please check connections. 
    The 4 ethernet lights are green and on completely on when nothing is connected to it at all on the wires. 
    Now wireless is completely fine and I can see the router and everything else but connecting WIRED just doesn't work. It can see my wired computers on the DHCP client list but anything wired has no internet or connection.
    I tried even wiring it directly to my laptop and it does the same thing. But connecting wireless is perfectly fine and dandy.

    All the 4 Ethernet port lights are lit up when nothing is connected to the router.
    I think the router is not working properly.
    Do you get a valid IP address like 192.168.1.xxx  on your wired computer?
    Try to ping the default gateway and see if you get replies from the router.
    You are able to access the Internet on the wireless computer?
    What IP address do you get on wired and wireless computer?
