Firefox twitter site has random "x��" text, works fine in other browsers. I cleared cached and history to no effect, what can I do?

I recently re installed Windows 7 OS into a new hard drive while copying over my "appdata" folder to the new drive to maintain my old computer settings.
Ever since I started using the new OS, I believe I started to have trouble with the twitter website which only loads garbled, random text, like the following:
"��}k�$Ǒ��N7��_��-��Z��R��h�]��];�Uͪ�ypwJw��ɀa��C�yzPEQ4��S�*��$�_F�Ag6�/8"3��١LJ�pg�+#"#"##"�}��s/^��Ww�+oj^Y��X�J-�ʒ�\�P��)�M��R��νQ}�Cx�g�+�)1�-�:�QF�=U�=6��^��Ȕ�U��c�<öTE�-�Z@u�2xV�G��ӚbR�U��b��&U��BY�ބx��l�\Ű��MG#C3�4Ǟ�t47�U�D��T��RFs��E1 k_q��W �g�1VV�L:�++Xgc�lh�teD��@�G�;.9�G��uY ��2��㚢5e҂m�ׁ]� ��jʬ��1�5@�A]�)6 ��i��M�s��ltdR ��tHu�$�ghG\C�?��Td�Mތj�ж�52�a��s�b�G��cρ;��8�M:��rJ��2��3��ܛ́��c�h��w�8ǈ�S�v�vM9�m�':6�-�ك3��5��'�#"f��m��K�X�2NtÝ��xK��z��V��4pbueP�%b�u�:ƈ�N�}��ҷ��F#�N�M�y�"
More recently I started getting this with google search which is even more annoying due the frequency I use that (like trying to troubleshoot this problem). However, I managed to fix that by following the help suggestions here for the google site:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-dont-load-troubleshoot-and-fix-errors?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Error+loading+web+sites
However, nothing manages to fix the twitter website which works fine with other browsers, such as Chrome.
Is there a way that I can fix the issue?

Try to reset all network.http.* prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu to the default value.

Note 3 won't answer a call by using the "answer" voice command. Other voice commands work fine (ie 'volume up') and speech to text works fine. Tried it in the car and in a quiet room at home. What am I missing?

My University email uses outlook and firefox will not let the page open once i log into the university login. It used to work, but now just shows a completely white tab. My email works fine in other browsers. Why?

Download the 10.9.3 Combo update and install it. Unplug all peripherals (external drives etc) and exit all apps while it's being installed, reboot afer it completes.

ZeeraIndianDevizes website works fine in other browsers but menu buttons (Titles) disappear in Firefox. Tried everything...any ideas please, I'm desperate!

I've tried increasing the depth of the top area where the menu titles are - it didn't make any difference. It works in all other browsers.

Why does Google maps not render "Earth view" properly in Firefox, but works fine in other browsers?

I've been using firefox forever, use it with google maps, mostly with earth view and suddenly, it shows a diagonal mirror image of the map from the bottom right corner to the top left. Google maps in Chrome works fine and maps in Google Earth also work fine.

We are aware of this issue and will be releasing a Firefox 37.0.2 to correct this within a day or so :)

2 days ago I started having problems with some web sites that previously worked fine. They still work fine on other browsers. What happened & can you fix it?

On the Times newspaper site I was using December 19 some of the features stopped working. Has Firefox made an update? I tried downloading Firefox 9.0 but the problems persist. At the end of the news articles is a comments section but this no longer displays in Firefox. There is a SuDoku feature in the Puzzles section which is no longer accessible by Firefox.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

I was recently able to attach files in gmail using Firefox, but now I get an unresponsive link, when I click "upload". It works fine on other browsers. I search the question database but perhaps I missed the fix. Any suggestions?

I am using windows 7 Home Premium, on an HP. I use and enjoy the Firefox browser. The only major extension that could cause clicking issues is possibly NoScript. But until recently I have had no problems with uploading attachments in Gmail through Firefox.
The issue:
I start Gmail. Logging in is fine. When I compose a new message (still no problem) I can't upload any attachment via the attachment link. I click the attach link and it is unresponsive. I use internet explorer and I get no issues. I've noticed this issue only since yesterday. Please help.
Thanks
R/S Kenneth

I also had this problem since yesterday (march, 13). I tried cleaning cache and cookies, restarting the browser and the pc, but nothing happened. With IE and Chrome the attachment worked fine.
I hoped that with the yesterday's 3.6.28 updade it would be fixed, but it didn't.
Then, I saw the reply to [http://support.mozilla.org/pt-BR/questions/922873 THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM] which was telling to use the refresh button on FIREFOX (not Gmail's refresh). I tried, and the problem was gone.
So, if anybody has the same issue, try hitting the refresh button on firefox :)
Thank you, junkcat!

(Started yesterday) I cannot access contacts in Gmail using Firefox. Works fine in other browsers. Is there a fix?

All of sudden clicking Contacts in Gmail brings no response except the "loading" box display.
This just started out of the blue, I have not changed anything. Gmail works with all other browser (Opera, IE, and Chrome)
It also appears that "Setting" button will invoke the same response.
I have cleared the cache etc.

Did you clear the cookies as well?

Can't click on certain options like log-out, that are usually located at the top of a website. They are frozen, and firefox doesn't allow me to click on them. It works fine with other browsers.

For example, if when I use hotmail, I cannot click on the options that appear in the upper portion of the page. Example, "menu" "help" "log-out". Same thing happens to facebook, so i can't see my notifications, or log out. When i try to click on them, nothing happens. I tried using facebook and hotmail with other browsers, and it works fine. I don't understand why i can't click on certain things with firefox. I haven't recently made any changes to firefox, and it is the lastest version. I also tried uninstalling, and installing again, but it didn't fix the problem.
'''If I run firefox in safe mode, with all the add-ons turned of there are no problems. '''

laderamacguy took a look at it and added a black shape over the tab. he suggested i use a different template next time, such as the black template.

Flash intro only loads sound, no video, no interface. Works fine in other browsers.

We are re-doing our website and cannot resolve a compatibility problem with Firefox on both Windows or Mac, and also tested through Adobe Browserlabs.
The problem: the Flash intro loads only sound; there should be videos playing full width of the browser frame and an interface to browse through the videos, mute the sound and press play/ pause.
Other browser on various platforms work fine (IE/ Safari/ Chrome on Windows XP,7 and MacOSX)
We've tried various user profiles, computers, systems and countries, but the site shows the same problem with firefox everywhere.
I assume it has to do with the coding of the site, would you be able to tell why it is not working?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, restart Safari. Try a video.
Extensions such as Incognito and YouTube5 will prevent Flash content from loading.
Your profile indicates are you running v10.6.6. If that's the case, there are updates available. Click your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click Software Update...

Movie won't play on IE9. Works fine on other browsers

Movie plays in all browsers except IE9
Feb 11, 2013 3:05 PM
Please go to this site: http://www.shop.com/Isotonix+reg+OPC+3+reg+-561800349-p+.xhtml
You will see "View Product Video" to the left of "Ship Free".
When I click that link in ALL browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome), it works fine (plays the movie).
When I click it in IE9 an empty gray box shows up.
I have the latest version of the Shockwave Flash Object (11.5.502.149)
I've been looking for a setting in IE9 but nothing helps.
Any ideas?
Thank you
David

This is still the Director Shockwave forum, not one for the Flash Player. Perhaps you missed the link in my previous response:

I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and cannot do this. What can be done to restore my original functionality?

I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and this no longer works. How could I restore the previous functionality? Is somethong wrong?

Hi Eustace.
Thanks for replying to my problem. After posting I noted the "More Like This" box on the right of the screen. The top topic was "Restore old dual screen functionality" and turned out to be the the same question with a surprising answer - in the "Mission Control" dialogue, NOT the "Displays" dialogue. There are five tick boxes at the top of the Mission Control screen and the last of them is "Displays have separate spaces" and this box was ticked through the loading of the Mavericks op. system (presumably). Unticking this box, as advised, restored the 'extended' mode and all is now well.

"Facebook Will Be Back Soon" only in Firefox. Facebook works fine in other browsers.

I have rebooted my computer twice, ran my anti-virus, reset Firefox to default, deleted cookies and cache. Facebook, and only Facebook, is still no longer working with Firefox.

When you hit https://www.facebook.com/ it says "Facebook will be back soon"?! Bizarre. But FB has a help page on that message: [https://www.facebook.com/help/134401680031995 I'm seeing a message saying Facebook will be back soon when I try to log in. | Facebook Help Center].

My Laptop sound works fine with other browsers, but same audio played in Firefox browser is VERY low. Is there a fix for this?

I run Windows 7 on a Dell Laptop with i5 processor - SRS premium sound that works well except when using Firefox browser. Example of problem - listening to CNN news on TunedIn online Radio - volume cranked all the way up provides about 20% of the audio volume when listening to the same on Google Chrome.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
