Firefox used to be able to open my library search, but now it can't Internet explorer can

When opening my public library account and searching for a book, Firefox now opens a weird back door type of search screen that is hard to read, it used to work fine. Internet Explorer opens the normal search screen. I have screen shots of the two searches if this is helpful.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here:
right-click the page, choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
If that doesn't help, you might try using Firefox's Safe Mode as a diagnostic tool to see whether one of your add-ons could be at fault.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
Does that fix it?
I should add that the site seemed to work normally for me, but I can only test logged out and the logged in behavior might be different.

Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't.

Why can't I zoom in on text with my track-pad like I can with other browsers? I have a MacBook Pro. I used to be able to pinch and expand pages but now I can't. I have bad eye-sight and really enjoy and NEED this feature to be able to read most sites.

Hi dwightfontenot-
Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Used to be able to save images from webpages but now with IOS 5, I can only save to reading list even when viewing a page whose images I could save as an image when using the previous OS.

Are you using the YouTube widget in iWeb? If so it doesn't work any more. Not since MobileMe was discontinued.
You need to get the full embed code from YouTube and use the standard HTML snippet.

We are facing issue to open a static form PDF in Chrome Browser
, which is loaded using Adobe FormService.
Able to open in other browsers but not able to open the static
forms in chrome with LC 11.0 version
Below error message:
The document you are trying to load
requires Adobe Reader 8 or higher. You may not have the Adobe Reader installed
or your viewing environment may not be properly configured to use Adobe Reader.
For information on how to install Adobe Reader and configure your viewing
environment please see http://www.adobe.com/go/pdf_forms_configure.
Please let us know do we have any option for disabling
<NoXFA/> tag by calling formService. RenderPDF() method on adobe service
For dynamic forms its working by adding <NOXFA/> in
DDX xml . only for static forms its not working because we are not using
assembler service for this forms.
Please let us know how we can disable XFA in static forms??????????????????

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

My iPod used to always connect to the WiFi at home but now it doesn't. What can I do?

My iPod used to always connect to the internet at home but now it does not. What can I do?

Try the following:
Restart your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.
On your iPod Touch use Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
If this does not work test your iPod on some other networks, e.g., Starbucks, etc. If it doesn't work there it may have developed a hardware problem.

Used to be able to connect to bluetooth headset but now can't?

Hi,
I have an iPhone 4 and a jabra headset.
As it says, I was able to connect them up until about 2 weeks ago (not entirely sure as I don't use the headset every day) but now I can't?
The phone can see the headset but just wont connect.
I keep 'forgetting device' and then getting the headset into 'find' mode, then I put the password in when the iPhone wants to pair and then it just sits there trying to connect but doesn't.
Has anything changed on the last update or the push to fix the alarm?
Or have I switched something off inadvertently?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Pete

Hi Traveller,
Thanks for your reply, unfortunately I don't have that problem as my phone just wont connect to the headset so I haven't got the option to switch to it when I have an incoming call.
My main issue is that I had no problem at all a couple of weeks ago, it worked fine with no disconnection's and I was able to use it at my desk whilst doing other stuff, very handy. Now it just wont connect to the headset although it can see it, it just hangs whilst trying to pair to it?
TBH I really like the phone, it's my 1st iPhone and I'm glad I got it, once you accept that you can't just bluetooth pics etc to a friends phone (non iphone) the rest seems really good. I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with yours.
Thanks again for your reply tho.
Kind regards
Pete

Firefox only prints out a portion of my billing statement, but it prints correctly in Internet Explorer. How do I format or change settings in Firefox to correct this problem?

My Account Activity page for my checking account has an eight column listing ie: date, type, description, debit, credit, balance, etc.
Only the first five columns print out regardless of how much I scale the printing size down. It prints out fully and correctly when I use Internet Explorer browser to view the bank website.

I've encountered a similar problem with HTML email sent from Outlook once before. I had to manually edit the HTML file and then display it in my browser and it printed fine. I don't recall the exact problem, but it had something to do with malformed HTML tags. Whatever they used to generate the HTML document, it was putting in bad tags at the ends of lines (like to force a line wrap) and when printed, this would instead function as a cutoff of the right side of the text. (the HTML parser in FF - in my case Thunderbird, would simply ignore everything after these bad tags, as it probably should)
If you don't know about HTML find someone who does that you trust to look at the document and manually edit it for you. Someone familiar with basic HTML should be able to spot and fix the problem in about 5 minutes. Short of that, see if your bank can send them via email in PDF instead, but regardless be sure to inform them their documents are not created properly. The problem is most likely on their end, not yours, and not with FF.
EDIT-------------
Just remembered something.
There are two add-ons you might be interested in:
IETab - it uses the Trident web engine to display the web page. (what IE uses) It should essentially work just like IE, but from within FF.
User Agent Switcher - I use this more frequently as all it does is tell the webserver that I am using IE and not FF. (even though I am using FF) and voila! I get the page delivered correctly with all intended functionality. (Odd, I know - chalk it up to lazy and ignorant web developers)
Both may be of use to you, the second is more secure, and either should be a work around to solve your problem that won't involve editing or knowing HTML.

I used to be able to get onto a site, but two days ago I no longer can. I have talked with the site Admin and he says the site is viewing me as non-legit.

I used to frequent an RPing site until two days ago on Sunday, January 26th, 2014. After speaking with the Site admin I was told that the site no longer recognized me as a "legit person". I have gone through all the normal steps, updating, uninstall and re-install Firefox, delete cookies and history, removed proxy for connection (and all the other proxy options) and even restarting the computer. I have tried accessing the site on other browsers, IE and Chrome and it works just fine! I even have other friends who can still use the site on Firefox! I do not know how to fix the problem, and I hate Chrome/IE with a passion, so I am praying there is some way to fix this problem and let me use Firefox again for the site. As for the error I get whenever I try to get to the site it reads. "The requested URL "(Site Address)" cannot be found or is not available. Please check the spelling or try again later."

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.

WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!

I use to be able to hear video in youtube but now I cannot

I have done everything suggested but i cannot hear the video in explorer or chrome

Ok it seems this is a Youtube issue, all of the sudden I have three PCs with the exact same issue.
2 WIndows 7 64-bit systems with IE 10.
1 Windows 8 64-Bit system with IE 10.
All had the latest and greatest version of Flash and all have the same problem.
Doesn't matter if I was logged onto Youtube or not.
Granted the audio still works if I increase the volume within the window, but it will reset if I reboot or close the browser.
The only way I was able to get youtube to come up with the audio maxed out, was to drop Flash down to version 10.3.
If I updated the ActiveX portion of flash to 11.7 it would give me a mixed bag, where it seems to work than fail after a couple reboots.
updating 11.8 or 11.9 beta didn't fix the issue.
hope that helps people
