Firefox on my laptop with not allow me to post on a forum website

Firefox on my laptop will not allow me to post to a website forum I visit all the time. It will not let me logout of the website either. This happened suddenly while I was on the site. Firefox on my PC works fine.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Firefox is freezing up and not allowing me to click links on a website.

    The green timer in the tab just keeps running, but does not allow me to select any links, thus I have to go into task manager and shut the program down, just to operate it again. I am using Windows Vista as a platform. It does not do it on the websites I have bookmarked, but when searching for something through Google, it has locked up almost every time. Is this just a beta problem? I was not having the issue on 3.6.1. How can this be fixed?

  • When using more than one tab, once I have opened a pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the pdf into it's own window?

    when using more than one tab, once I have opened a .pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the .pdf into it's own window? not a major problem just irritating.

    I found the cause but no solution, it's actually a plugin that does that: divx plus weblpayer (it gets installed when you install DivX on your system), if you disable it and restart firefox it all works again. But I want that plugin... so DivX need to fix this, unless it is a Firefox bug in its own core... anyway these two together creates the problem.
    (I'm running Firefox 9.x on OSX Lion)
    I also wish firefox tab tear out tab worked more like chrome's tab tear out, much friendlier...

  • When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

    Question
    When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

  • Where can I find an older version of Firefox, the newer versions do not allow me to play my FB games?

    '''I updated my Firefox today, and it will not allow me to play the games on FB put out by Zynga. Is there anyway I can revert back to Firefox 3.5 or 3.6 to play the games? All my flash players and shockwave players are updated.

  • "You do not have permission to post in this forum"

    I have another account that cannot do anything much at all, and I would like to get it fixed without a five day wait for a Genius Bar appointment, then a 1 hour bus trip each way with an "I can't help with that" in the middle.
    The account has been broken for over a year.  This is what happens:
    I can submit a question to the community.
    I can open any postings that show as matches.
    If there are no matches and I get thrown to the list of communities, then I can't view or post to any of them.  I see the product names and icons (iPad, for example, but the list of related communities on the right is missing for all products.  Which seems unfair because I own most of them.
    You do not have permission to post to this forum
    It appears you are not allowed to view what you requested.  You might contact your administrator yadda yadda.
    I have posted about this before:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17393255#17393255
    with no real answer (a threat of possible help, if you like, but with no resultant benefit.)
    My question is - how does one get help with the help forums?  I have phoned Apple's help desk and they said they could not do anything.
    I would really like to get my primary account working - it connects to the right email address, it all set up and comfortable - and it does not use my name and location as an alias (who's idea was that?  Fire that person!)
    If you know of any court of appeal, help desk support forum support line, 21-step program or anything else that might help, please tell me.  This has gone on long enough.
    I tried to do something about this from the other account but to get support for the support communities you have to be able to post to them.

    Seventy-one -  To my knowledge, I have been a model citizen.  And not impertinent of you at all - a very reasonable question.  All words have been 1-3 or 5+ letters long, I certainly have not received any communication (that I have been able to find) that indicates a transgression.  And there is another question - which castle, and are you saving for the deposit?
    Bleach  - other user name is "Ploughguy".  But I was more after a means of contacting those with influence myself.  Most fora like this have a contactable moderator or administrator.  I am rather amazed that one needs the intercession of the saints.  Such as St Roger...
    Roger - This situation.  The "can't look-can't post" situation.  It has been (not) happening for some time.
    I previously raised the issue here .
    BTW, I created yet another ID because I was not careful enough when I set up the second ID and it defaulted to "NameFromSuburb".  This is OK for johnfromnewyork but a huge privacy risk if you are ranulffromlittlestorpingintheswuff - an unusual name in a small place.  I do not know how that default got through the peer review. Basically it says "ranulf has the good taste to own an Apple something which is portable and fenceable, and he lives not far from here".  I have suggested to the privacy people that it is a very bad idea.  And yes, I realise my alias is already out there.  I have asked the privacy people to blow it away.

  • Firefox 15.0.1 will not allow me to type in the data boxes such as the one I am using now. I am contacting you with Microsoft Internet Explorer.

    I just upgraded to 15.0.1. Firefox will not let me type in data in data boxes such as a dictionary lookup or even the question box within the Firefox Help. The box usually comes up with the type of sinformation needed within the box, such as "word lookup" but I cannot type over the words, delete them, erase them. The box will not allow data input.

    Totally unrelated to my problem with Firefox I got hit with a virus/malware problem which my virus protection failed to catch/stop. I was forced to go to safe mode in Windows and restore my system to a few hours earlier. That got me back to Firefox 14 and there are no issues with Firefox 14 with me entering data as there is in Firefox 15. I am ignoring Firefox's offer to upgrade for a while as I cannot believe that I would be the only one with the issue I described in Firefox 15. Thank you both for your input on how to correct the problem. I will try them out if I find the same problem later on when I "upgrade" to Firefox 15.

  • Firefox 3.6.6 will not allow Windows 7 to log off or shut down

    I have a HP DV6 laptop (32 bit) with Windows 7. Firefox 3.6.6. seems to work well but the computer became slow and unresponsive and it will not log off, shut down or restart unless in safe mode. I uninstalled FF 3.6.6. and Adobe Flash 10 and now it works fine. On my Compaq Desktop (64 bit) with Windows 7, FF 3.6.6. and Adobe Flash work just fine.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded to FF 3.6.6 and Adobe Flash 10 ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; OfficeLiveConnector.1.5; OfficeLivePatch.1.3; .NET4.0C)

    I had same problem where Firefox 3.6.8 would not start or open. Spent many hours trying different things to fix it. Uninstall of previous version and reinstall did not make any difference. Finally, after uninstalling Firefox, I searched for Firefox folders and files on my computer, deleted and removed all Firefox folders and files - deleted anything and everything related to Firefox so that it will be as if I was going to download Firefox for the first time ever. Then, using another browser, I downloaded Firefox 3.6.8 and installed it. It could be that some Add-Ons or something else from the older version of Firefox or profile was interfering with the new one. It was easier to delete remove everything and install all over again clean than to figure out which part was causing the problem.
    Keep in mind, when you delete all Firefox folders and files from your computer, you are deleting all your bookmarks and all your Add-ons. If you want to keep those bookmarks, you might want to save the URLs someplace safe to bookmark them again before deleting them. You need to re-install the Add-ons also. Upon installation, it asks if you want to import bookmarks and settings from another browser or settings you might have. I imported them from my other browser. Now, Firefox works. I also installed up-to-date Add-ons.
    I hope this helps. Always keep more than one browser functioning on your computer, just in case one fails.

  • Firefox 5.0.1 will not allow me to upload any files. I receive an error message, though I know the files are vaild.

    Firefox 5.0.1 for Mac OS 10.6.8 is not allowing me to upload attachments. I get a pink band with the message "Files with errors will not be uploaded". When I click on the View Error link, it tells me "This file couldn't be added because it appears to be empty (0 bytes). " These are valid jpeg files that I have attached many times before, so I know there is no problem with the file. Also, Firefox has recently given me an error message about restarting in 32-bit mode to accommodate a plug-in. I have ticked the '32-bit" option in the Get Info window of the Firefox application.

    I have been unable to drag and drop large files, even onto the Desktop, let alone onto my NAS - I get the dragged files freezing in the middle of the screen or I get the 'unable to copy / file in use' error.
    Talking to Apple Support, they had me set up a new User, and then within that new account, the trouble went away. This pointed to the StartUp items being run in the original troublesome account,
    I have deleted all of my 3rd Party programs and then installed them one by one until the problem came back, and in my case (Macbook Air 5,2 running 10.10.3 Yosemite) I found it was DropBox causing the conflict. I have DropBox running in the Menu Bar (top of screen) and disabling sync (bottom left corner) stopped the file copy problem. Try disabling DropBox sync is file copying is failing?

  • Firefox comes up and will not allow me to click between tabs.

    It started with Netflix. I can access Netflix and play movies etc. I cannot click on the search area. I till not allow me to type in there. then I realized that I can not click the tabs on the website itself to access the three pages I have up. Any ideas?

  • After most recent update, Firefox keep hanging intermittently with "Not Responding".

    After the most recent update, my Firefox browser begins to hang intermittently with "Not Responding". I have checked the extensions and plug-in like Java, all of them are the latest updated ones. Everytime I open a new site or click on links to load another page, it happens. Every single time.

    '''is there a solution ''(temporary OR permanent)'' for this problem yet?'''
    i tried '''EVERY possible alternative'''; even when opened in ''''''safe mode'''''' or when installed for the first time w| '''NO addons or ANYthing else''' but the '''original default settings''', still does the same thing.
    mozilla people?? really?? no answer|feedback|suggestions, anything at all from u guys??
    if it isnt a version (browser, OS, addons, etc) issue, what is it that separates us from the users not having the problem?
    this is is very frustrating; h|e it's even more frustrating when there is no response from tech support. is it because there havent been enough people who have reported this same issue so there can be some interest & find a fix; OR is it that u dont know; OR that there is not & will not be any fix?
    we cant continue being users if we cannot use it. it's really my favorite browser, but if it doesn't work & u guys dont have a fix for it, then users w| this same problem wont have any other option but to switch to a different browser permanently.
    really mozilla??? nothing? a reply would be very nice...

  • Firefox on my laptop will not open. I recently reset it.

    I recently reset Firefox on my Lenovo laptop with Windows 7. I did this because it had become extremely slow after an application called "conduit" became a part of the start-up. I couldn't get rid of conduit. I do all my work in the lenovo so I am really perplexed by this behavior. Now Firefox just hangs and never connects to the internet. I am using my Dell desktop to write this.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
    know what they are.

  • Since uploading to 6.0 I cannot play any games on Facebook as it does not allow me to post to wall, send requests or even open half the games yet IE will work still, why is this happening?

    We installed Firefox 6.0 yesterday [Aug 17th] on our computer. Since that time I have had serious issues with trying to play the games on FACEBOOK. The system will not allow me to send out friend requests, post to the wall and for the flash type games those won't even load at all.
