Firefox suddenly loads Google Maps as mobile page

I have been using Google Maps in FF in Ubuntu on my desktop PC for many years.
The bookmark is stored as http://maps.google.co.uk/maps & shared with Chromium via Xmarks.
In the last few days, whenever I use this bookmark in FF, the address bar switches to http://maps.google.co.uk/m/places?oi=nojs#ipd:mode=home and the site is a mess.
This post describes the same thing exactly & tells me FF must be loading the mobile page:
http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f131/google-maps-loads-the-mobile-page-623890.html
If I enter the address manually, I get the same result.
Chromium continues to work as normal.
I did recently add NoScript to FF but have tried "allowing all this page" with no effect.

It is possible that the server gets confused by the Ubuntu in the user agent.
*Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
You can try to modify the user agent and remove that part.
*Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
You can do that by setting the general.useragent.override pref on the about:config page or use this extension:
*User Agent Switcher: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/websites-incorrectly-report-firefox-outdated-or-in
Note that you will have to update the user agent if you update Firefox (Firefox 12has been released)

  • Safari does not load google or any web page related to google

    Hello everybody.
    Safari does not want to load google or any web page related to google (youtube, gmail, etc.). However, other webpages work just fine. I am connected to the internet.
    I had this problem back in June. I went back home (where google worked) and when I came back to my boarding school, I could not access any  of the sites mentioned above from my school's internet. Summer vacation arrived, I left the school got back home where google became once again accessible. Now I am back in my school. Google worked well until 2 hours ago. I do not know what is happening.
    I have tried to reset safari but it did not do anything. Firefox can't load google also.
    I run the last version of Leopard (10.5.8).
    Please help me!!

    Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.

  • How do you load google maps as they are not preloaded

    how do you load google maps as they are not preloaded and it would take long time by moving around on the maps

    You can't. The built in Maps app does not store data locally on your phone. It requires a data connection to display location info.

  • Copying a google map into a Pages document

    I was wondering if anyone knows how to copy a google map into a Pages document? I am creating a real estate flyer, and would like to include a map on the back. I know how to insert a Google map using the Widget in iWeb, but not using Pages. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    You can take a screensnap of the map: +cmd shift 4+ and drag over your selection. The snap lands on your desktop named +Picture 1+ etc.
    Make sure you enlarge the map as big as possible on the screen as it is only at screen resolution, 72dpi, and you need about 300dpi for printing.
    Usually it is better to draw a simplified diagramatic map for directions in a vector drawing program like OmniGraffle, VectorDraw, ZeusDraw, EazyDraw, LineForm, Intaglio or Illustrator. Bring these in as .pdf files which are freely scalable.
    Pages also has drawing tools at the bottom of the Shapes pulldown menu on the ToolBar but it is cumbersome compared with the dedicated programs.

  • My ipad 2, with IOS 7.1, will not load google maps.

    The message I get is " There was a problem connecting to the network".  My iPhone loads google maps on the same network.

    Try resetting the iPad and then see if you can connect.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Adding Polyline to Google Map in Mobile App

    I've got a mobile app that uses a Google map. I can successfully retrieve directions from the Google Directions service. I want to overlay the route polyline from the Directions Result onto my Google map. I can't find an example of how to do this with a mobile app - all the examples are for web pages and I'm not quite able to make the translation. Could someone please post some sample code?
    Many thanks in advance!

    It won't help find your iPhone, however.

  • Firefox 8 and Google Maps problem!

    Ever since upgrading to Firefox 8 (I don't recall this problem using firefox 7.01) using maps.google.com if I search for something like watertown, wi or greendale, wi it will work the first time or so. Then afterawhile it will just say "loading" and stop working. This is on Windows XP Pro 32bit.
    I have completely re-installed firefox from scratch (deleted all settings) and started over. But, it does the same thing!
    Help!

    I have this same problem with Firefox 9.0.1, but not with explorer; "problem" = destination and location markers in Google Maps don't appear and hence can't be clicked and dragged, really limiting usefulness. Problem began a few weeks ago, maybe when Firefox updated. Haven't added any new add-ons. Tried opening Firefox in safe mode, tried the add-on posted here, tried the various Tools>Internet Options suggested here, none worked.

  • Inserting Google map into iweb page

    Hello
    I have just bought iWeb 2, and used it to start a website at http://web.mac.com/peterdewit/toymaker/Home.html. (it comes up if you leave the end bit off!)
    I followed what seemed to be incredibly simple instructions to create a Google map. It looked so easy I thought it was too good to be true. Unfortunately that turned out to be the case!
    After more than one hour I gave up. A map of 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino California was determined to remain as the star attraction of my Location page. Even my wooden Royal Danish Life Guard and Grenadier Guards Drum Major couldn't remove it!
    Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
    Any help gratefully accepted.
    toymaker1

    Here's a wild guess...
    Sometime ago, I read in this forum about somebody having problems with the default email address used by iWeb for the "email me" button. It seems to get this from your personal information in "Address Book" which you filled in when you first opened the application.
    If you didn't do this, it is probably still using the Apple Computer Inc. information.
    Try trashing the Apple entry and make sure your own "user" one is up to date with your correct address, email etc.
    I hope this helps - I DID say it was a wild guess!

  • Content viewer crashes after loading google map

    Greetings! I am making progress, finally on my first Edge Animate CC 2014 / InDesign CC 2014 DPS edition.
    I have finally gotten to the pplace where I need to display a Google Map for two different locations, each map will be loaded with a different button on click and replace the previous map. It works fine in the browser, but when I upload my folio through InDesign and load it into the Adobe Content Viewer on an iPad (Air) after clicking the MAP button (either one), the map loads and appears to be fine, then after about 10 seconds, the Viewer crashes. I have tried it repeatedly and by clicking both map buttons, the produce the same results.
    What should upload for someone to look at, or has anyone else ran into this issue?
    Below is the code for the Action(s):
    downtownMapButton:
    // insert code for mouse click here
    var mapFrame = sym.$("mapContainer");
    var map ='<iframe width="'+mapFrame.width()+'" height="'+mapFrame.height()+'" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://mapsengine.google.com/map/embed?mid=zE2zuZhUFeMU.kVkOwZos-Fiw" ></iframe>';
    mapFrame.html(map);
    // Show an element
    sym.$("mapBox").show();
    // Show an element
    sym.$("downtownPointerSym").show();
    // Show an element
    sym.$("mapContainer").show();
    sym.$("closeButtonSym").show();
    sym.$("prestonPointerSym").hide();

    Found a solution.

  • Im having problems with loading Google Maps, it takes a while to load up. This has only started doing this recently.I changed to Mozilla from IE Exporer as that was useless.

    Mozilla runs fine with other web sites but when I use Google Maps it struggles to load up maps. Looks like there is a constant exchange between Google and Mozilla which is slowing up the loading. This has only been happening about 3 weeks ago, it was perfect before that so maybe it could be the Mozilla update that I accepted.

    try replacing the sim card after that it needs to be replaced and since you had some one else open up the phone you would lose the out of warranty replacement price and have to buy a new one at the full retail value
