Firefox not working with Wordpress blog--I cannot insert hyperlinks or pre-schedule blog posts

Since the last (involuntary) update of Firefox, Wordpress is full of snags, namely, I have been unable to hyperlink or preschedule posts--Nothing happens when I try to click either. When I close Firefox and switch to Safari, there's no problem, which leads me to believe the problem is within Firefox, which updated itself on my machine a few days ago.

Did you wait long enough for the 'archive' page to fully load before you clicked on a link ?
If not, then you may have clicked on an incompletely loaded url, resulting in the "not found" MobileMe page. (yes, indeed it's about fractions of a second, that is why it seems to happen randomly)
If this happened in Safari, clear the cache and wait for the page to fully load. Does that help ?
Ps : I can navigate from your archive to the corresponding entry ( tried 4 random links)
For other browsers, if you wait long enough for the page to fully load and then do a "reload page" and again wait long enough ... does that help ?
When you hoover over the links and do get a $links$ move over to the next one, go back... now do you see the correct link ? Not always, but most of the time it's a blog entry with a very long filename.

Firefox Mobile zooming is not working on wordpress blogs

I use Firefox Mobile with Android 2.2 on the Notion Ink Adam. Pinch zooming works great on most pages but with every blog powered by wordpress I encoutered this problem (e.g. juancole.com and ironically notionink.wordpress.com).
The pinch gesture just stops working on these pages. I tried disabling JavaScript but that did not help.
The default font size is too small and there is no obvious way too change it essentially rendering Firefox Mobile useless for reading these blogs on my Adam tablet.

The mobile version of this site includes code to disable zooming. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page (hint: use two finger to scroll quickly to the top or bottom) and press the "Full Site" or "Regular Theme" link, then you will be able to zoom.
It would be possible to write an add-on to let Firefox ignore the code to disable zooming, but as far as I know this add-on does not exist yet.
You could also try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/mobile/addon/bigger-text/ Bigger Text] add-on. You will need to turn off the option to "ignore mobile sites" in the add-on's options.

Firefox not working with gmail

i tried to load gmail, but the standard view does not load, only the basic html version.
whereas it loads perfectly internet explorer 9 or firefox v4.
tried reinstalling, clearing cookies etc.. nothing changed.
even tried "network.http.spdy.enabled" to false as given on http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/928888#answer-339203 but nothing happened.
got error:
with gmail-
Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version. Upgrade to a modern browser, such as Google Chrome.

has gmail stopped supporting firefox new versions? i dont want to switch to chrome? wat can i do?
am using windows xp sp3

This is silly (and stupid). Why should I have to go to IE anything? Firefox worked fine with gmail until I went to this new version (16), I went to the beta version and gmail still did not work. I thought you guys were supposed to be unbiased? I should be able to use one program for my mail and my internet and not lose any of my cookies or services. I went to you guys because I was able to use all the services without any problems, now need two services so I can use my mail (no, I am not changing mail services...I like gmail and have a very set and established email address. It would cause a lot of problems trying to get my friends to memorize a new one...we like the one I have now).
It should not be THAT DIFFICULT to allow access to gmail. Work with each other, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. Thank you, NukeGeek

Why Firefox not working with many Youtube videos?

I use Firefox 13.0.1 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8. Beginning from August, many of the Youtube videos cannot be played, with the error message:
" The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback. Get the latest Flash Player"
I clicked the clickable "Get the latest Flash Player" and installed it. But the same error message continues to show up. I repeated the process 3 times, the problem remains.
The Safari on my machine, however, has never had the above problem.
Could you let me know how to make these Youtube videos play with Firefox?
Thank you!

You could try uninstalling Flash completely and go directly to the Adobe website and download it. If that doesn't work I would uninstall Firefox and re-install it and see if the problem continues.
All the best,

Firefox Not Working With VPN

Since a few days ago, both Firefox and Firefox Beta have not been loading any website, with the "Server Not Found" error. It's weird because everything was fine before, but now it won't load with VPN activated (but works perfectly fine without it).
Every other browser I've tried works perfectly fine though (Chrome stable and beta, Opera, & Dolphin Browser).
I'm on a Nexus 7 (2012) running KitKat and using the TunnelBear VPN service through a US VPN.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Firefox not working with Xfinity email

I had been using a version of Firefox 3 (3.3, I think). One day this week, I was suddenly not able to go beyond my email page on my Comcast/Xfinity webpage. I got the Preview page only, but no farther. Using IE, I have no problem. I added nothing from one day to the next onto my computer. There was a Microsoft security fix that automatically restarted my computer. That's it.
I tried loading Firefox 5, but got no different result.

I found that McAfee was blocking Firefox. Before I upgraded to Yosemite I was required to upgrade McAfee by sys admin. The issue more than likely started then but I did not open Firefox before upgrading from 10.8 to Yosemite.
In McAfee Endpoint Protection for Mac Preferences I selected Application Protection. In the window listing "Application Names" there were none. I hit the "+" button, then the search icon, and added Firefox from the Applications folder. Hit "ok". Closed the windows and quite McAfee. Restarted and after having to open Firefox in SAFE MODE everything appears to be working as it did before I upgraded to Yosemite. I can get the DAU again as it is the only web browser I can load on Mac that is compatible with this website that I am required to use.... not currently running VMware.
I have admin rights to my computer but McAfee is configured and installed per instructions by my company admin. Hopefully they will allow me to keep this configuration change...

Firefox not working with telstra bigpond webmail (australia)

stopped working a couple of weeks ago. I can access the account with internet explorer but not firefox. have installed all updates to browser.

Yes you can install Chrome and use it for that one website. As far as Chrome "taking over" other functions on your PC, just don't let it set itself as the "default browser" if you are asked during the installation routine. Beyond that I doubt if you will have a problem.

Firefox not working with hotmail

Today, all of the sudden I could not see emails that I had sent in hotmail or google. I could see the attachments, but only the first few lines of the email. I could however see the emails in other browsers. I was freaking out that I was send blank emails to employers.

I don't know if this is an issue with Hotmail having made some changes on their side.
You can try to clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Does Firefox not work with windows8

I had no problems with Firefox while using windows 7, but now have 8 and Firefox is continually being non responsive.

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Window 10 build 10041 does not work with Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet on ASUS motherboard

I originally posted this question here:
answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_update/window-10-build-10041-does-not-work-with-intel/6729892f-83aa-4822-b20a-ea84f4fd06c7
and was asked to post it on this forum...
I updated a computer I have which is a quad core i7 that I built and includes an ASUS motherboard with Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet built in. Windows 10 preview 9926 worked fine with this network adapter. Window 10 build 10041 does not, and I have tried
it twice so far. I even went as far as buying a Thunderbolt-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (Broadcom, sold by Apple)... and while it installed the driver automatically, it did not work either. Each time you try to view the properties of either of them, it locks
up or give an error. In fact, doing much of anything with the Intel adapter icon assures you of not being able to do a clean reboot... have to kill power. I have finally gone back the previous version 9926, which has its issues but no where near as bad
as not having any network connectivity! Does anyone have this issue and a workaround?
Note, there are two images on the windows 10 preview forum that I posted this question on. I could not post the full link as I was getting a message here that links and graphics are not allowed.

Thanks Roger, I posted the following yesterday in the other thread (thinking it was this thread - confusing after they moved it here)... It may be that the new driver fixes the issue that 10041 has with it, but I have not tried that yet. If I do I will update
this... Thanks!
I have more information about this, which basically exonerates any issue with the Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet hardware or software. I have 3 computers with Windows 10 preview so I have multiple angles to see issues from. With this I have found a culprit
(but I suspect not just the only culprit) in this above mentioned problem...
10041 build combined with installing (or attempting to install) CISCO VPN Windows 7 64bit 5.0.07.0440-k9 client causes the issue mentioned above. I confirmed this on a completely different machine with a totally different Ethernet adapter. First machine
is an ASUS motherboard in a tower system I built, with the Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet hardware built in. Second machine is a Gateway Laptop from 2008 which has a Marvell Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit adapter built in. Build 10041 will work fine with my 2008
laptop, including the MS VPN client (which I have tested). However, if you attempt to install or even uninstall the Cisco client you will have to do a recovery to a restore point (as I have done twice) in order to get your network working again. Installing
or attempting to install (because it never even does install properly and times out), CISCO VPN client will render your entire network unusable. Going back to a restore point saved me and I am still running 10041 but I can't use CISCO VPN client any longer.
I could with build 9926, including on all 3 machines. I now have 9926 on two machines and 10041 on only the 2008 laptop.
Hopefully this above information helps someone resolve the issue. I will also mention, even though my network is working on the 2008 laptop, I still can't go into the Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections and right mouse click on the Marvell
Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit adapter icon. I get an error when clicking on Properties menu popup : "An unexpected error has occurred". So something is still up with my network adapter driver or windows software, but it could be a side effect of all
that has happened with the Cisco software install attempts under 10041.
Another note: CISCO Anyconnect also has the issue.

Java 7 Update 11 Not Working with Firefox

For me, the problems described in the thread "Java 7 Update 10 Not Working with Firefox? " Java 7 Update 10 Not Working with Firefox?
are continuing with Java 7 Update 11.
Windows 7 64 bit
Firefox 18
The problem is that "Java(TM) Platform" is missing from the plug-in list.
I've uninstalled Java 7 Update 11 and reinstalled Java Update 9 which correctly installs the plugin and restores Java functionality which was broken immediately upon installing both Java 10 & 11.

So why not using Ju11 ? You can workaround the issue. It would sucks but still be safer than using Ju9.
Also ask Mozilla forums if Firefox has options where to search for plugins.
Or try 64-bit Firefox.As I explained in both threads ...

Java 7 Update 11 Not Working with Firefox
... neither jre7u10 nor jre7u11 are working ... and they are BOTH broken with the same problem ... "Java(TM) Platform" pliugin is missing from the plug-in list. It cannot be enabled, because it simply is NOT there. A suggestion was made the jre7u12 will be the "fix" for this issue ... so I installed the Update 12 Preview and it sis ALSO broken, no "Java(TM) Platform" in the plug-in list.
The ONLY Java version that actually works for me is jre7u9.
As far as installing Firefox 64bit ... I see no future in installing a browser that has been discontinued.

Even though Mozilla relented due to backlash, I continued development will be a somewhat low priority.

Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1?

Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1 64, If i try and play a video I get the message to install Flashplayer.
If I try and install it it says it is already installed. Your onsite installer says it is not applicable to my machine.
I have followed all the normal steps re enabling addons and active filters etc.
all to no avail Pc is Dell 6 months old, Flashplayer has never worked on this machine. Last MS update mid Dec 2014.
Version of flashplayer is 15....03.......

Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer. There's nothing separate to download or install.
Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.
