Firefox not displaying current page!

Hi all.
I normally use Firefox on my iMac.
I recently went to one of my bookmarked sites on my iPad, using its version of Safari. The page that it displays is slightly different than the one that is displayed if I open the same page with Firefox on the iMac.
Based on the content of the page, I suspect that Firefox is not accessing the latest version of the page but rather that it is displaying a "cached" page.
This is very troublesome as the information that was added to the page is time-sensitive (a schedule) and I would have missed it entirely if I had not happened to open it using the iPad.
What can I do about this problem???
(I would prefer not to use Safari on the iMac).
Thanks!

You might do better in a Mozilla/Firefox forum.

Firefox not displaying current page URL in address book.

Firefox is now showing the URL data for the most recently opened tab in every address bar rather than the actual data for the page opened within that tab. For example, tab 1 is opened to wsj.com and tab two is the opened for foxnews.com, suddenly the address bar for tab 1 is now showing foxnews.com in the address bar AND it is now impossible to go 'back' because the back button is greyed out. Additionally, if a link is clicked from within the current tab, the URL in the address bar does not change but remains 'fixed' on the address opened in the most recently opened tab.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Firefox not displaying web page icons properly unless in safe-mode

Hi. We are developing a website at the moment and unless I have FF in safe-mode some of the icons do not display properly. All other browsers work fine and it used to display in FF with no issues. The website is www.livingonmars.com and the icons are the 2 arrows in the top right hand corner of the slideshow. When in safe-mode I see both of the arrows. When started in normal mode I see the bottom half of the left arrow and the top half of the right arrow.

In safe mode, hardware acceleration and add-ons are disabled. You may want to try to disable you add-ons one by one to see if that helps or you can disable hardware acceleration by performing the below:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Firefox Not Displaying Web Page Content.

When going to some web pages with an initial welcom/subscribe pop up window, such as
http://www.mustangmonthly.com/techarticles/mump_0702_ford_mustang_distributor_rebuild/viewall.html
the background window does not show any content(although it does show a background).
I have another PC with Firefox that does display the content. I have compared all of the settings and they appear to be the same. I have also cleared the cache. However, the window content is still blank.

Firefox not displaying buttons and boxes when allow other pages to use their fonts instead of my selection is selected

Firefox not displaying buttons and boxes when allow other pages to use their fonts instead of my selection is not selected. The irritating thing is that Firefox used to display pages until FF 31. Please fix this
Thanks
Randy

The missing icons are supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can probably see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.
You will have to make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts to see such an icon font.

Error in Acrobat 8: An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly...?

Hi,
We perform the e-signing on any PDF using our custom e-signature plug-in. Once that's done, when we try re-opening the PDF in Acrobat version 8.0.0.0, we get the following error:-
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem"
Please note that this error occurs intermittently and is NOT observed in Acrobat 7 or 9. Also, when a plain PDF is opened (i.e. a PDF without any signature on it) then there is NO error.
Could you let me know what could be the issue here? I read it in Acrobat 8.1.3 release notes that such an error was a known bug in version 8.0.0.0 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407016.html), but I am not sure of its cause.
Let me know your comments/suggestions.
Thanks!

I am getting the same error even in Acrobat version 8.1.3.
Additionally, I noticed that if we click on menu ‘Advanced->Sign&Certify->Preview Document’, then we get a notification as “This document is not PDF/SigQ compliant and may display inconsistently”. On clicking ‘View report’ on that notification, the below dialog pops up. It has errors listed as:-
Code 4000 : Unrecognized PDF content. The document contains PDF content or custom content not supported by the current version of Acrobat.
Code 4002: PDF content contains erros.
However, if we sign the PDF using default adobe signature functionality and reopen that PDF, the error does NOT come and the notification also says ‘This document is PDF/SigQ compliant’.
Can anybody please suggest what could be missing in the custom sign that we apply? Is it because of any of the missing fonts or any other resources?
Awaiting reply!
Regards.

Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
Many thanks.

If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
Is this a local or online PDF?
If local, is the file really exactly the same?
If online, in what browser?

Firefox not loading any pages.

Firefox not loading any pages either when typing a url, dragging a .webloc into it or searching anything in its google field. It just stays at the Also, when I try to open a .webloc file "open with", Firefox is not one of the options. Furthermore, when I go to the "open with">"other..." route, Firefox is not selectable. I've repaired permissions in Disk Utility, updated Flash and reinstalled the latest Firefox and restarted the computer with no success. Also, another odd thing is when I double-click a .weblock file, it opens up in Fireox to a blank white page, even though its set to open in Safari as the "open with" default. This is clearly an issue related to the computer, not Firefox. Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

If this is one Mac on a Network with your own Router, reconfigure the Router to have your ISP's DNS "magic numbers", then disconnect and reconnect your Mac. Your Mac should pick up the numbers from your Router.
If this is one Mac without a Router, use:
System Preferences > Network > (Internet interface) > Advanced ...
to enter your ISP's "magic numbers" for DNS.
If you prefer, you can use OpenDNS servers instead:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Make certain you do not have any bogus, old, dead numbers ahead of the ones you want to be using -- they will be used first in the order they appear.

Screen briefly flashes white but does not display the page when the Safari icon or other icons are tapped.

A problem has just started with my IPAD Air after 3 months of use.
If I try to open Safari by tapping on the icon the screen briefly flashes white but does not display the page.
Similarly if I try to open Settings page, Mail page, Calendar or Clock the screen just briefly flashes but the Apps do not run.
Some of the Apps do work on tapping the icon e.g. Maps, iBooks, Appstore, iTunes, Newstand etc.
I do have some website links which display when the icon is tapped e.g. John Lewis but some links do not work.
I have ensured that the ipad is fully charged, powered it off an on again, and cleaned the screen with a lint free cloth but the
same problem keeps occurring.

I saume you used a second display at one time, otherwise the Display settings wouldn't be treating your primary display as a secondary.
IF you open your System Preferences>Displays (-System Preferences) and click "Gather Windows" it should pull everything to the display on which you clicked it.

Why is Safari not displaying some pages correctly?

Safari seems to be messing up again. Had this problem quite a while ago. It's not displaying some pages correctly.
Notice the 2 enclosed screen shots. I went to purchase something (no personal info in the jpgs)
Notice the W-Safari. Little trash cans by the purchase items missing as well as the submit button and a few other things. So I opened Chrome.
Notice in the W-Chrome, everything is displaying correctly.
I've had problems like this some time ago but I thought they were fixed.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

Post a URL so what we can look at it.

KHTML doesn't work, but I also have WebKit KPart for Konqueror which does display the page correctly.
I do have rekonq installed, but I prefer Konqueror over it. Yes I prefer Konqueror, even though rekonq is fine it's just doesn't feel right.
I hope that it either becomes more Konqueror like before becoming a KDE default browser or they just rebuild Konqueror to use WebKit.

Any ideas how to get rid of this? Realistically its not practical to contact them, nor the other 1,000,000 web site owners whom host pdf's.
I really would like to disable the pop up only.
Seem to get it on quite a few PDF's. This web page seems to have quite a few that produce the problem.

click on the link to the pdf, scroll down a few pages and it pops up.
I do not get the error when using reader 10, only the new 11.0.0.1 version.

Hi Pat,
No problem withthe link you supplied.
This is one that has the problem "948 Cayenne Owners Manual - 2008 - Turbo" http://www.2010.cannell.co.uk/manuals/manuals_porsche.html
Just FYI, I look after 8000 clients, have the same problem on 3 of my test machines.

Preview App not displaying all pages

I am finding under Mavericks Preview App is not displaying all pages of some pdf's.
If you turn on thumbnails you can see and select all the pages but it's not possible to scroll down through all the pages. Weird and annoying...

First, before you do anything else at all, make a copy of your file as a backup. You said "Book" but I'm thinking you mean in one file, not a combined file InDesign Book (.indb) project.
Now you need to test to see if this is a program problem or a file problem.
Are the pages still there? Can you choose them from the navigation box in the lower left corner of the document window?
Is this happening with any other documents? If you export this file to .inx (Interchange format) then open that, do the pages display properly?
If it's happening in other docs, or if .inx doesn't solve the problem, look at how to replace your application preferences here: Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences
