Firefox not displaying swfs with their proper dimensions

Some instances of Firefox are not displaying swf files with their proper dimensions. When the same .html and .swf combo is loaded on another domain, different dimensions are displayed. I'm not using swfobject or any other DOM manipulator to get the swf on the page. I'm using the standard wrapper that Flex generates with object/embed tags.
The dimensions are 950x700. I wonder if the large size is part of the problem. I'm not going for any full screen effect.
I've tested with and without css declarations. I've tried using swfobject. I've created a brand new project empty project and when I publish that, the dimensions are still off.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.webwebwebsite.com/badfit/BadFit.html

That image doesn't seem to be working in Firefox 3 and 8 (works in Firefox 9 and later).
It works if I save it as 24 bit instead of 32 bit.

Why does firefox not display photos with Hot spot slices in them

I took a photo and brought it into Fireworks and created a graphic map with hot spots to certain countries. While this looks great on Internet Explorer its not showing properly in firefox at all. http://www.aist.org/chapters/chaptermap.htm
Heres the example .

That website is an MS Office document that has VML content for the images. 
You can see that as green comment code in the page source (View > Page Source) 
Only IE can display such a document properly.
You need to save that page as W3C compliant HTML code and make sure that you disable VML to make it work in all browsers.
Looks that something is wrong with the image count for images used when VML is not enabled.
The image image003.jpg (http://www.karalee.com.au/index_files/image003.jpg) should be:
*http://www.karalee.com.au/index_files/image002.jpg
The image image005.jpg (http://www.karalee.com.au/index_files/image005.jpg) should be:
*http://www.karalee.com.au/index_files/image004.jpg
<pre><nowiki>javascript:void(document.images[0].src='http://www.karalee.com.au/index_files/image002.jpg');void(document.images[1].src='http://www.karalee.com.au/index_files/image004.jpg');void(0);</nowiki></pre>

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.

FS10N Not display document with double click

Hi, friends:
Not display document with double click
I am in the list of open items in transaction FS10N and when a wont to see a document by doing a double click in the line, instead of showing the document it shows the data of the line.
Does anybody know the reason behind it? How can I resolve it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
There could be two reasons:
1. The account would not have been maintained with line item display.
2. In case if the account has been created with line item display, then still you are not able to get the drill down (meaning that you are able to get the line items in FBL3N), in that case, immediately once you get the error, go to transaction code SU53. It will tell you the authorizations you are missing. You can forward that screen shot to your authorization team and they will give your proper authorization for drill down.
Thanks,
Ravi

If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so
they are at least two versions old.
Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many
other products on the market which do a much better job of creating
and maintaining this type of navigation structure.
Read this link before you climb any higher on this slippery slope:
http://apptools.com/rants/jsmenu.php
There was another blog post by the fellow who originally wrote the pop
up menu feature, but I can't seem to locate it. Even he says stay away
from them.
Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it helps, nonetheless.

I am having issues with being kicked off the internet intermittently. ATT says its not an issue with their service. Does anyone have an idea?

I am having issues with being kicked off the internet intermittently. ATT states its not an issue with their service. Any ideas?

Yes it is NOT your internet service. It is Apples OSX. It seems to be happening to older computers trying to run the newer OSX ( Mavericks and newer). I have a 2009 iMac I bought with Leopard installed, I upgraded to Snow leopard 10.6.8 and my computer was running flawlessly. I upgraded to Mountain Lion and I noticed my computer running slower... kind of annoying having to wait longer for everything (start up, browsers opening up, apps opening up, mail opening up and so on) Mavericks came out for free and I was excited to get out of this issue. Well, everything went from bad to terrible! Fast user switching had a glitch with desktop picture resetting to the wave, mail rules didn't work properly and I kept getting kicked off the internet (Absolutely NOTHING wrong with my internet). No one could figure out what was going on or how to fix it, even senior Apple tech's! After 3-4 months of searching, troubleshooting and waiting for a fix, I looked at my Mac Pro running Tiger 10.4.11 with no issues what so ever... that is when I made an executive decision. GO BACK TO SNOW LEOPARD! Since May 2014 I have been running 10.6.8 on my 2009 iMac and it has been smoking fast with NO issues what so ever, especially since I maxed out my memory for Mavericks. So to sum it up: some people might get lucky with old machines running new operating systems, but for the most part, it seems older processors can't keep up with the new sophisticated operating systems. Mavericks... Yosemite... FREE UPGRADE! But you will pay the price

Firefox 11 not displaying pdfs with Adobe Reader update (MacOS)

Since updating to Adobe Reader 10.1.3, I noticed Firefox 11 does not display PDF files. It just shows a blank screen.
The only workaround I found is disabling the Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in (ver. 10.1.3) the update installs. Firefox will prompt which application to use.Choosing Preview allows the PDFs to display correctly.
Neither Chrome or Safari exhibit this behavior, nor does Firefox 11 (Windows) with the update installed.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I've found another workaround to this problem. If you open Firefox 11 in 32-bit mode, it will be able to display PDF files.
To open Firefox in 32-bit mode, quit Firefox, go to the Applications folder, right-click on Firefox and click on "Get Info".
Then, under General, you should see a checkbox where you can have Firefox open in 32-bit. Close this window and restart Firefox and you should be good to go.

Firefox not displaying fonts and sizes properly

In firefox the fonts are not displaying properly they are either bold or small and bold some text is displayed normally but most is not most is either really small or bold. This is also the case for IE, im on windows 7 running latest versions. However Chrome, Opera and Safari all display correct fonts and sizes it is just firefox and IE that are affected. And yes everything from font size to page size is at default so please dont reply with zoom in and out thanks.

Hey thanks for the reply. Not sure which one of these worked nothing changed until I restarted firefox.
You can try different default fonts.
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can also try to disable hardware acceleration.
Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
But it is back to how it was thank you very much!

Firefox not displaying corectly in remote desktop

This issue has existed with firefox for as long as I can remember. If I start up firefox on any computer then log into that computer from another using remote desktop the firefox window displays as nothing by a big black box. There are not controls, menus, or even an x to close it. It can be closed by right clicking on the taskbar and choosing close window. Now if I start firefox while logged in from remote desktop it works just fine. Even if I disconnect and reconnect it will still display correctly. The problem only occurs if firefox is launched from the computer then I remote in. The open webpages, tabs, ect do not matter as I can restore the previous session just fine. Some of the computer have no addons installed so that rules those out as a possible cause.
Is there any solution to this? It's usually not a big deal as it usually only involves one computer but occasionally like today I had to reboot every system on my network and load up firefox to do some stuff then remote into those systems just now only to have to restart firefox on every one.

hello FUBAR-BDHR, that may well be an issue with hardware acceleration - please try to disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect) & see if the situation changes...

How can I make Firefox not-display images?

About 20 years ago I could configure Mosaic to not-display images. I browse with lynx usually now, but have to use something else when I need Javascript. Sometimes I want to not-display images. I can't find a setting in Firefox for this.

Note that you can control this via the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config
The default is 1 to allow all images, a value of 2 will block images.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/permissions.default.image
**1: Allow all images to load, regardless of origin. (Default)
**2: Block all images from loading.
**3: Prevent third-party images from loading.

I am not seeing placeholders for missing or corrupt images. Is there an option to turn these on or off, or does Firefox not display these by default?

I am a web designer. I use FF as my default browser for everything--including work. When viewing pages containing broken image links or corrupted images, no placeholders show to indicate the problem.
I have to use another browser to check my work. Placeholders are such basic elements that they should appear without having to switch browsers or search for options.
Thinking I may have accidentally unset an option for viewing image placeholders, I have looked everywhere in the options (including Web Dev tools) and have searched support. I have found absolutely nothing to solve my issue.
Firefox--whatever version I had installed prior to a computer reformat and browser reinstall--was doing the same, so please don't suggest a FF reinstall or reset as a possible solution.

In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
# 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.display.show_image_placeholders and make sure it is set to true.
That was a configuration that was from a very early on version of Firefox, so if this does not make a change there is more:
What is interesting is that there is also a css that allows the styling of the broken images: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-moz-force-broken-image-icon]
This was an inter sting hack for the personal profile in Firefox : [http://megashare.altervista.org/blog/2012/08/enable-broken-image-placeholders-in-firefox/]
Please post back with your results, thank you!

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]]

[Title] (fixed) Firefox not displaying buttons, bubbles, checkboxes, and input lines

So this isn't a question but I think it's very helpful, as I've had this problem ever since update 10 or so, even with resetting my Firefox profile so here's the fix
k so I use Stardock software's Windowsblinds on my x64 Win 7 laptop. I run Firefox with the "Awesomebar" disabled, I like my menus. Anyhow for the longest time I've had a problem where Firefox stops displaying my buttons, bubbles, checkboxes, and input lines along with some borders on a few pages, so today I finally figured out which options to check to make things work and look how it's supposed to
maybe your team could code some sort of detection for windowblinds and enable these options/settings automaticly
settings in about:config that I manually changed:
layersacceleration.draw.fps true
plugin.allow.asyncdrawing true
gfx.direct2d.disabled false
Not sure if all 3 are necessary or not but I fliped the 3 to the stated variables and Vwala I can see all my buttons, bubbles, checkboxes, and input lines
also add Windowblinds to the tags for future users ---->

@ cor-el I tried it in the options menu quite a few times with seems that it just wasn't writing to the config file even though it said it was enabled/disabled. so I went straight to the config file and changed it manually but thank you for the input anyhow

Acrobat XI Pro Form under Windows 7 does not display Arabic with Arabic Typesetting font

After creating a form with right-to-left enabled, and the font of the field set to Arabic Typesetting, I can fill in the form correctly, but when I exit the field the blue editng field returns, and the text is not displayed.
What can I do to correct this?

Gilad: You're right: when the fields are different, such as a checkbox and a text field, and you try to title them the same, Acrobat gives you a message. I received no messages, the field names are not the same or I missed one and Acrobat is no longer messaging about it.
My question is different. Acrobat XI will not let me paste any field copied from a different PDF. I've been doing that for 5 years in three different versions. Maybe Acrobat XI has a new process for that, which I could not find in Acrobat help. Maybe it's because all forms now have extended rights automatically in Acrobat XI and there is another method to copy common fields to other PDFs.
Any thoughts about the new Acrobat XI? It's different in many good ways, but different.
Thanks for your ideas.

Page will not display properly with inline Frames

I have a html page that will not display properly in Dreamweaver. I have a basic understanding of html and want to be able to edit a website in Dreamweaver that was given to me. It looks fine in a browser, but in Dreamweaver some of the content is missing and displays the following message, "Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline Frames". I was able to open it without any problems using Microsoft Front Page, so is it possible to view and edit it in Dreamweaver?

Without seeing your page, I'm guessing that your page contains server-side includes, iframes and scripts to other files on the server that populate page with content on the server's end. You can't see it in DW because you don't have all the files in your DW local site folder. You said this views fine in FP. Was your page created in FP with FP proprietary tools?
