Firefox vs explorer

Hi, I am really struggling to have my site look the same in
Firefox and Explorer. I'm used to Explorer and everything is
looking fine. Firefox is totally different. Everyone bags Explorer
and there seems to be this big sell happening with Firebox now, but
I wish it would just go away. As far as I can see, the bugs are in
Firefox. Oddly enough my tables based site looks perfectly fine
everywhere - I'm reworking it into CSS and everything is going pear
shaped. I feel like I need a big bottle of vodka before I can
finish it.
Things such as: named anchors work in Explorer but not
Firefox, background images disappear underneath other divs in
Firefox when they don't in Explorer, columns don't display side by
side but underneath each other in FF but not E, there are slight
shifts in positioning in FF which totally mess everything up
because I'm using a lot of background images.
Can someone recommend a link to info on how to make it work
in both browsers?

The most important thing you can to do make these pages
render the same is
to VALIDATE THE PAGES. Do they validate? If they do not, fix
the errors.
If they DO validate, then you know that the reason the page
renders
differently in the two browsers is not because of coding
errors. It must be
because of usage errors - that allows you to eliminate a host
of potential
causes right off the bat.

Adobe Plugins are not working for Firefox or Explorer 8

HI There,
my firefox and explorer do not open adobe reader files any more. IN firefox it opens it in a different viewer and when it prints it prints the document as an artifact and the letters are not clear (almost looks like a blurry .jpg). The plug in is installed but when I go to adobe reader under preferences then internet it says that the program is not available. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling acrobat and it still does not work. I intalled the latest Java thinking that was the issue but still the same. I can not find a way to delete and reinstall the plugins in Firefox or Explorer. Are they built into the new Adobe Reader?

Can you guide me on how to change it to adobe reader as the default. I can't figure out where this option is.
I have to get access to the computer with the probloem to pull up the error message when trying to open a pdf file in Explorer. I think it says that it can`t find the program or to try shutting adobe down and try again.

I have both Mozilla Firefox & Internet Explorer installed one my computer, but chose to us Firefox. Several days ago while opening Firefox a screen popped up which said that my Firefox browser was out of date. I clicked on the box, which said free download. This happened several times and now on my desktop I have Firefox Setup 3.6.13, Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe, Firefox Setup 3.6.13(2), Firefox Setup 3.6.13(3), Firefox Setup 3.6.13(3).exe, Firefox Setup 3.6.13(4) and I still keep getting the same pop-up screen for a free download of a newer, speedier, more secure version of Firefox. I tried calling Mozilla Corporation in Mountain View, CA; but was unable to speak with anyone. I also got an 800 number (1-800-229-9895) from information and called that number. On the first 800 call the person hung-up. On the second call I spoke to Marv and supposedly got disconnected. On the third call I spoke to Marv again. He informed me that I couldn’t speak to anyone at Mozilla and had to pay $99 to get any help. He also told me that: if I tried to remove the extra Firefox downloads or tried to remove Firefox completely, my computer would crash. I can’t afford the $99 and don’t know what to do next. Can you help me. Jack (Phone number removed by mod).

As far as I know, Mozilla doesn't have any paid support service. There are lots of other companies that advertise paid support for desktop software including Firefox. Maybe you called one of those other providers??
Anyway, I suggest dragging all those exe files on your desktop to the recycle bin. They are all out of date.
Before upgrading, have you considered making a backup? Your bookmarks and other Firefox settings ''should'' be safe during an upgrade, but better safe than sorry. This article describes how you can back up: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. For example, you can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.
To get the latest Firefox, you can try either of these:
(1) Help > Check for Updates - this should work automatically
(2) Download the installer for Firefox 12 from http://www.mozilla.org/firefox (green button) to a convenient location, then double-click to launch it (Firefox needs to be closed)
After you see Firefox 12, the user interface will look different. For tips on how to restore features you miss from Firefox 3.6, you can ask questions here. For a little advance reading, check out this article: [http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6/ Make Firefox 4+ Look Like FF 3.6 | Computer Tech Tips].

Welcome to the 'wonderful' world of HTML5 e-learning.
In my view, from the issues I am seeing everywhere, HTML5 output from rapid e-learning tools such as Captivate is not ready for the kind of mobile device e-learning you want to develop.
Sorry to be pessimistic, but you may need to consider going back to the drawing board and coding it from the ground up.

Having connection problems with the cloud on my pc using Firefox and Explorer. Is there a problem with iCloud today?

I've been having trouble connecting to the Cloud today.
Is there a problem with Apple or is it my browser?
I've been trying with Firefox and Explorer both.

If this comes up again, check out this Apple System Status site.

Firefox and explorer borders appearance

I have a different preview of Firefox vs Explorer with my
column/cells border. It is set to FFFFFF and appears that way in
Explorer, but in Firefox, it appears to have a black 1 pix border.
I can't find where I can get them both to appear the same.
Anybody?

All hex color values must be prefixed with an octothorpe
("#"), e.g.,
#FFFFFF. Are yours?

Hi there.
Thank you neuroanatomist for the info on creating a ringtone. I'll try it.
I should perhaps have mentioned that I have tried all the official channels, including contacting support and sending feedback over the last couple of months. The support people sympathise but can't really help me and I haven't received anything w.r.t. the feedback I have sent, more than once.
I'm now turning to the other users in the hope that someone can get me into contact with a person/people inside Apple that might be able to shed more light on this.
I've already contacted our local distributors and my mobile phone provider and they have told me that it is Apple and only Apple who decide what is available in the store.
W.r.t. licensing etc, I suspect that there may be some legalities involved here, however it's not like we are on a different planet - we get the same DVDs and movies and TV programs here as everywhere else - just not on the iTunes store... So once again everything points back to Apple and not to local laws. As far as I know our laws w.r.t. media are pretty standard and mostly based on UK law, but I am no legal expert.
I would even be happy to get a "we know it's not great, we're working on it", or a "it may take some time, but hang in there" ... but I haven't even been able to get that... which is extremely frustrating.
Take care,
Emile.

How can I use same bookmarks file for both Firefox & Internet Explorer?

There are lots of questions and answers about how to import/export bookmarks/favorites to/from Internet Explorer, but they all seem to assume that afterward you're only going to use the one browser.
But like many other people, although I prefer to use Firefox, there are times I need to use IE for certain sites, or to see how a page I'm creating will display to IE users. This means that I regularly edit bookmarks/favorites in both browsers, and can't possibly keep up with importing/exporting back and forth. What I need to do is use the same set of bookmarks with both browsers, so that the next time I bookmark a page in IE it will be available when I re-open Firefox and vice versa.
I had things configured that way on my last computer, and it worked beautifully for years. Of course, it's long enough ago that I forgot how I did it, and a perfect memory wouldn't help anyway, since it was under Windows XP, and older versions of both browsers. Now I'm in the throes of learning Windows 7 on a new machine and haven't yet figured out how it thinks or wants me to think, so until I get my feet under me I'll need some pretty specific instructions. (Explanation would also be appreciated, as I do like to know the whys of things and it will help me become more proficient eventually; but at this moment my mental bandwidth is pretty low and my priority is just to get some basic things working.)

Hi fastauntie,
This add-on may be able to help: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/plainoldfavorites PlainOldFavorites]. It allows you to access your Internet Explorer favourites from within firefox. There are some instructions here: [http://www.howtogeek.com/59050/from-the-tips-box-simple-ie-to-firefox-syncing-easy-windows-toolbars-and-identifying-usb-cables/]
Also you might be interested in [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ie-tab-2-ff-36 IE Tab v2]. It will allow you to use the Internet Explorer rendering engine from within firefox. It is useful if you want to see how a page would display in IE without leaving Firefox.
I hope that helps,
--Edward

Office live states I don't have firefox or explorer but I do. Can't get into my site to make changes because of this

My web site is hosted in office live small business. Recently something changed and now I get a message when I try to log in that I must have Explorer or firefox to use the site. I have both but they are not being recognized by office live. I have contacted Microsoft and they say my account is working properly on their end. What to do??

If you already created an Apple ID, you have to enter a credit card in order to use that ID now. If you don't have a credit card at all, you will have to create a new Apple ID to use without a credit card and you will need to have another email address in order to do this.
First you will have to sign out of your current ID in Settings> iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. You can tap the ID and tap Sign Out. Now you can proceed with creating a new Apple ID according to the instructions in here.
Create iTunes Store account without credit card - Apple ...
You are saying that you don't have a credit card, but if you had one, you could enter the credit card in order to use the ID that you already created, but you never have to use it. You can use gift cards or just download free content. But unless you create the ID as outlined above, you must enter payment details.

Hotmail is printed in AAA size in Firefox Internet Explorer OK

Messages from Hotmail are printed in AAA size text which is so small
it is impossible to read when using Firefox, but prints perfectly OK
with Internet Explorer.
Firefox was OK until recently, it could have happened with the latest
update.

After looking further through the Firefox site, I found something that told me how to change "search engines" which I did not know one could do. I have changed to Google and deleted the AVG Secure Search, which appears to have been the problem. Many thanks for help, "madperson" and "ideato".

I downloaded an update and now no browsers work -- not firefox nor explorer.

i opened firefox and it told me to wait a few moments while it updated. when it finished updating the page said i should download to the latest version, and i did. after the d/l was complete, it said it installed correctly and from that point on, neither firefox nor internet explorer work, but the internet connection is fine because other applications work (such as instant messaging). i am on a friends computer right now. please help. thank you

After a Firefox upgrade/update, your firewall may not recognize that new version and will not allow access to the internet; that is your firewall doing its job. You may need to
#close Firefox (Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit)
#remove permissions for Firefox from your firewall's programs list
#restart Firefox
#allow your firewall to detect the new version and give the permissions needed by your firewall for Firefox to access the internet.

Opening pdf links forces a crash in firefox and explorer

hi
I've downloaded the trial version of acrobat pro - as soon as I click a pdf link or a web page has an embedded pdf both internet explorer and firefox crash out. I've had to disable pdf handling to allow them at least to be viewed separately to the browsers.
This is a brand new installation of windows XP Pro, so not that.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated

Content Coding Error in Firefox/Internet Explorer cannot display webpage

I can log into Beehive without any issues. I used to be able to go to Workspaces > All My Workspaces and see all the workspaces I had access to. From this list, I could get to any of these workspaces. Now when I go to the same navigation, I get in 'Content Coding Error' in Firefox 9 and 'Internet Explorer cannot display webpage' in Internet Explorer 7.
If I find an email that invited me to a specific workspace, I can access that workspace only. I cannot find a way to access all workspaces I have access to within Beehive.
Please let me know what other information I need to provide for assistance.
Thanks!

Hi,
https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/index.html is a public page with no obvious protection so anyone should be able to see it without any difficulty. If this is the page causing the issue then it suggests a local browser issue.
If you are getting this after logging into https://beehiveonline.oracle.com/teamcollab then it means your account is not provisioned correctly. Contact us out of the forum with your details and we can check out if we have a provisioning issue. I would need your email address and any group you have been invited to be a member of - send it to [email protected]

Firefox/internet explorer help

well my website is still in the making but i have run into
some problems. in order to see what im talking about you will have
to have internet explorer and firefox. first go on firefox and go
to my website (www.killerarcadegames.com) then go to games section
and you see the tabs and thats how there suppose to look but when
you go to internet explorer its messed up with the multiplayer tab.
I remember making the mistake and it showed that but i fixed it but
now it still shows it in ie how do i edit from one to the other and
make them the same.
thx

There are also some other issues that can cause problems with browser display. You have multiple uses of html ids. An id can only be used once on a page. If you want to use the same css for multiple elements, use a class selector instead.
<div id="page_breaker"> should be <div class="page_breaker"> then in your css, #page_breaker would be .page_breaker
You have a couple images with empty src attributes. That can throw a broweser off too. If you need them to be blank for a rollover or image swap, use a transparent .gif as the starting image.
