Firefox seems to be reading my keyboard as french...as in, my question mark is É...

I assume it is because I am in Canada, but it is really annoying. How do I change it to US EnglishÉÉÉÉ
And no, it isnèt my keyboard settings. All my other applications are fine.

The prime suspect is an extension. Could you review your installed extensions on the following tab and disable ALL nonessential, recently added, and unrecognized extensions? Then restart Firefox and test again:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

  • Keyboard problem - Delete sometimes writes a question mark character

    This is a problem I've had for awhile but it's just now really beginning to bug me.
    My old macbook sometimes wrote invisible characters when I pressed the delete key. It shows up most often on gchat--I delete something and when I press enter there is an extra '?' character that wasn't originally in my text.
    When I transferred everything to the new computer I bought, the same issue arose. I'm pretty confident that it is a software issue, probably a saved setting somewhere that I accidentally changed years ago, but if someone could direct me beyond the usual reset PRAM/SMC, which doesn't solve the problem, that'd be great. Thanks!

    Open the International pane of System Preferences and click on the Input Menu tab. When this tab is open, select the correct keyboard layout from the list of layouts. If you're using Canadian English on a pre-Tiger system, you need to use the U.S. layout, or install the Canadian English layout into your /Library/Keyboard Layouts/ folder. If multiple layouts are checked, choose to show the Input Menu in the menu bar, and choose the correct layout from that menu.

  • Windows Vista, Firefox 37.0.1, Reader 10.1.13.16 ?newer?than? DC10.1.4

    The current Adobe Reader installation app seems to be for DC 10.1.4.  My Windows Vista box has Firefox 37.0.1 and Adobe Reader 10.1.13.16.  The DC variant seems to be newer (at least according to the release notes) but the installation app says my variant is newer and refuses to install the DC variant.  In addition, Firefox says that the Reader plugin is out of date.
    Question(s): which is the newest and how do I install the DC variant if it's the newest?
    --  Thanks

    And nor was 11, which came out nearly 3 years ago. Vista support ended long ago.

  • With Firefox 4 my screen flashes when keyboarding or when I hit enter button,

    I installed Firefox 4 yesterday, now occasionally while keyboarding or upon pressing the enter button the screen will flash or flicker especially when I first start typing. Its Annoying!!! Previous version no such problem.

    Sounds like you may have a problem with the proximity sensor.
    Couple things you can try before you bring it in to Apple for evaluation:
    1) if your phone is in a case, remove it completely and see if this helps.  Sometimes cases can block the proximity sensor
    2) remove any screen protector
    If these fail to work, you'll need to bring your phone in for exchange. If you're under warranty it will be exchanged for free.

  • Firefox 4 acts like I am using a french keyboard. In all other applications the keyboard behaves like US-English. Can I fix this?

    In other applications, the keys type the letters/symbols as shown on my keyboard (US-English). In Firefox, the keys appear to default to a French type lay-out e.g. shift / shows an E with a sign over it rather than a ?

    about:crashes only lists crashes that you have reported using the [[Mozilla Crash Reporter]] which comes up after a crash. Because there are so many possible reasons for a crash, getting the crash ID really helps volunteers find the cause quicker.
    That doesn't mean we can't help without a crash id. :-) No crashes here, but I'm also on Snow Leopard and using Firefox 3.6.6.
    Are you using Firefox 3.6.6? The most common cause of crashes on Mac is the Flash plugin. Are you using the latest version of Flash? You can check at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    Do you remember any specific circumstances about when the crash occurred? What sites you were on?

  • "Firefox seems a bit slow...To start." How to fix this?

    I don't feel like resetting Firefox as this seems like an easy problem to fix. My add ons don't do anything either, i already went safe mode. Are there any fixes?

    It is possible to disable this notification by setting this pref to false on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    *browser.slowStartup.notificationDisabled
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-health-report-says-your-browser-is-slow

    How much time does it take to start?
    Is that really slow (tens of seconds or even minutes) or only a few seconds?

  • I have two email accounts that are set up on the same iPad.  I cannot seem to see, read or send email from the second account

    I just set up a second email account on the same iPad but cannot seem to see, read or send email from the second account. 

    I'm using Windows 8 (not 8.1) and whatever the latest Thunderbird version is. They're both IMAP accounts. I was using Windows Live, but I couldn't get that to work, so I switched to TB. It works JUST fine for the one account, but not the other! They're identical except for the "handle". Both off my local ISP, set them up at the same time.

  • Safari and Firefox seem to have been hijacked

    Safari and Firefox seem to have been hijacked. When I type hotmail it takes me to some netgear wn2500rp genie. Help!

    Hi,
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
    Make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
    If Safari still crashes, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If it's a successful launch, then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

  • Sqlnet.ora doesn't seem to be read since oci8 1.3.4

    Hello,
    I used to use oci8 version 1.2.3 and I wanted to update to last version (1.3.4). Everything works fine except the fact that "sqlnet.ora" does not seems to be read anymore.
    I use the following string to describe my database in oci_connect: "MEN1PRD".
    In sqlnet.ora there is the parameter NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN which is set to "WORLD".
    In the tnsname.ora I have a full definition for "MEN1PRD.WORLD".
    With oci8 1.2.3, it worked but since I upgraded to 1.3.4 this is not the case anymore. I have to use the same ID in oci_connect and tnsname.org. The sqlnet.ora NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN does not seem to be used anymore.
    The version of php (5.2.3) is still the same, the configure options are the sames, the oracle lib is the same (9.2) and the php.ini parameters are the same too. I just changed the oci8 version.
    Has anyone the same problem ? Is this a normal behaviour ? If yes, why
    and is there a workaround ?
    Thanks for your answers.

  • Firefox profile folder becomes read-only after closing browser

    firefox profile folder becomes read-only after closing browser
    It is a problem with firefox or is it this to to a virus?
    How to fix? How to prevent?

    Only a check mark in the Read-only box means that a folder or file is Read-only.<br />
    Windows doesn't check all the files in a folder so instead displays a greenish block to indicate that it is not sure.<br />
    You need to look at the files individually to see if any are read-only.<br />
    Easiest to do that is to make the Attributes visible in "View > Details" mode: Choose Details in Windows Explorer.<br />

  • Tables in SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER seem to be read only and have a chain symbol in the upper left

    I have a bunch of tables in my data model.  I have three relational models defined in this file.  In one of the models, all the tables seem to be read only.  They all have a chain in the upper left hand corner of their box.
    I am not using version control, so that are not checked in or anything like that.
    How do I unlock these objects?  Why to they appear to be locked?
    Thanks

    It looks like you've linked tables across multiple models or designs.
    Does this look about right?
