Firefox won't allow some sites to open lightboxes or login popups.

OS: Windows 8.1 (64 bit) x64 AMD E-300 Processor
Firefox 25.0.1
I just got a new laptop and have discovered this issue: When I try to click links on some sites to open a lightbox or popup (usually for login boxes or photo slideshows) nothing happens. Absolutely nothing, no error message, no loading screen, no "busy" or "working" animations, no redirect. I've tried the same pages in the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Chrome and they work correctly. These sites work on my old laptop with the same version of Firefox and Vista SP2 32 bit and my work computer with Windows 7 64 bit.
I've tried disabling Add-Ons one by one and as a group, didn't make a difference. I've cleared the cache and cookies. I've turned by firewall and antivirus/antispyware/antimalware programs on and off.
Sites with a known issue: "View larger images" on Zillow.com, Login on Moviepilot.com, Login on doubletakedeals.com. I can't remember any others at the moment.

If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the about:permissions page or for the domain in the currently selected tab by clicking the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location bar and "More Information" to open "Page Info" and go to the Permissions tab.

You can delete the permissions.sqlite file to reset all permissions.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Switched to Firefox, ok.How stop some sites still opening in Safari?

After years with painfully sllow Safari i switched this year to Firefox which runs fast, ok.
But now just certain of my old sites I USED to visit in Safari now open that way when I hit automatic links in email.
Example: I have long subscribed to a online magazine with lots of articles. They send me frequent email describing their articles with a link to each one. My old mac is used to opening these links in Safari, my old disfavored browser. But I want it to openn themm in the faster Firefox?
Maybe I should just delete or trash my old Safari application totally?
Why do I keep it? MMaybe sentimental. Maybe think someday I'll need it?
Should II keep it?
How do i redirect these links thru my current favored browser, and not older browsers?
Thanks everybody for your help.
Thanks again.

Time Capsule Won't Allow Some Programs to Open

I have a 1TB TC with less than 25GB in one sparse bundle on it. Free space is +/- 930GB. My system is as follows:
eMac 1.25Ghz, 500GB internal drive, 2GB memory, OS X 10.4.11, all updates are current.
3TB of storage connected to the eMac via Firewire 400 for additional storage (video).
1TB Time Capsule connected to the eMac via 1000GB Ethernet.
I had to reformat two of the Video (Firewire) drives and transfered 900GB to the TC. This upload by the way takes greater than 10 times longer than to Firewire disks.
I reformatted the FW disks.
When I went to do download the files from TC to the video FW disks I started multiple copy processes. As i write this I have 4 going on, 1-152GB, 1-75GB, 1-525GB and 1-69GB.
The problem is that several programs such as Activity Monitor, Empty Trash (on disks not being used for the copy), Preview and Acrobat Professional "hang" or fail to open while the copy is in progress. Now normally I'd wait, however some things such as activity monitor and empty trash I need to use. Since the process takes several days this is not great!
Other programs such as Safari and Mail work fine!
Any ideas?
John Schubert

Yeah, I had 8 or 10 copy (transfers) going at once, now I'm down to 4. I do this all the time, however before now I've always used Firewire. Does Ethernet require more processor overhead? It would seem so.
I've been looking at a new Xserve or possibly a recent used Xserve and a rack; this video stuff really eats up hard drives. Saw a rack mount enclosure that holds 12 IDE drives-9TB possible for $749 and has Firewire connectivity. I could put all my existing drives in that and have everything in one place.
Anyway I've go to live with what I've go for now.
Thanks

Firefox won't allow me to Upload a video from "MY Video's" recorded on an iPhone 4

You generally need Perian for FLV and AVI files, and the free version of Flip4Mac for WMA or WMV files. Some files simply can't be opened on the Mac.

Firefox doesn't accept some sites and IT'S FREEZING sometimes and you can't write anything or click anywhere...reaaly disaponting, I have to restart it and after a while same thing, I can't close any tab only by options close tab so you can't use Command Q or Command R for reloading...GRRRRRrrrr, hate this

As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
When you close Firefox you should use
*'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
Are you doing that ?
I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
* see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
* this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
*use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> [Show Folder]'''
*see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Multiple_sessionstore.js_files

Once latest Firefox 24 version uploaded, some sites visited get pop up that Adobe Flash Player 11.8 r800 has stopped working

Once latest Firefox 24 version uploaded, some sites visited get pop up that Adobe Flash Player 11.8 r800 has stopped working. Have tried following and none work:
- reinstalled latest Shockwave Flash software, uninstalled and reinstalled with clean wipes
- downgraded Flash to previous version
- disabled hardware acceleration
Only when I disable Javascript in Firefox will the error stop but then no Flash application will work.
This is clearly a Firefox issue with the latest version. The previous version was using the latest Flash and there was no issue.
Below you will see I am using older version of Flash as I was testing previous, but same issue when I go the latest verison.
Please fix in an update.

Well that solution failed ... lasted for almost a day. The crashing of Flash is back.
You asked for the last crash reports IDs. Here they are:

Firefox 33 and 34 - Some sites no longer correctly displayed (no style?)

Hi,
I'm using firefox on a iMac. After upgrading to firefox 33 (and 34) some sites are no longer showing correctly. Seems to se like a problem about style&stylesheet, because I see them as a simple list of items and with default formatting (like blue/purple color for links).
I started trying the basics, emptying my cache and then directly removing and reinstalling firefox, but nothing changed. (If I reinstall version 32 it does work).
Then, I tried doing what I found on the forum, like disabling hardware acceleration, zooming and dezooming, nostyle vs basestyle, but nothing.
I could even simply go back to firefox 32, but a couple of those sites are sites I directly own, so I need them to work in any case.
Can you help me? Thank you!

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.
* Clear the Cache and
* Remove Cookies '''''Warning ! ! '' This will log you out of sites you're logged in to.'''
Type '''about:preferences'''<Enter> in the address bar.
* '''Cookies;''' Select '''Privacy.''' Under '''History,''' select Firefox will '''Use Custom Settings.''' Press the button on the right side called '''Show Cookies.''' Use the search bar to look for the site. Note; There may be more than one entry. Remove '''All''' of them.
* '''Cache;''' Select '''Advanced > Network.''' Across from '''Cached Web Content,''' Press '''Clear Now.'''

Firefox won't accept some of the addresses I want to be allowed in my outlook mailbox

I have some address in my outlook express mail box that I want firefox to let through and open the website but firefox won't let it come through how do I fix this problem so that I can use these websites

You can do that with the Bookmarks Deiconizer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmarks-deiconizer

Firefox won't load some Yahoo sites, yet will load others like My Calendar, etc.

Recently, my Firefox has stopped loading "some" pages for Yahoo. I cannot load for example, My Yahoo Home Page, it just comes up "blank", no error message or anything. This also happens when I try to just load the base Yahoo page. Yet I am able to load my Yahoo Mail Page, as well as my Yahoo Calendar. It also occurs in other sites that I have used as well, so it's not related specifically to Yahoo sites. It also is Crashing when I try to do things as simple as click on the "why keep your Add-Ons updated link in the lower right of this forum help section. This is why I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, as I figured something got messed up to make it unstable.
As I said I have "uninstalled Firefox 4.0 and re-installed it", but yet no change. I also am able to load these various Yahoo sites when I use an different browser. I have also cleared my History and Cache, Cookies, etc, but still nothing has helped.
I need to fix this ASAP, as my home page has things on it that I need, and when I load up my yahoo in Explorer for example, I am missing a lot of my Favorites, Tool Bar Bookmarks, etc. Any help with this would be appreciated.
UPDATE: I just got off a chat session with support, and they suggested I run FireFox in Safe Mode, disable all Add Ons and then add them back one at time if I need them back. I did this, of course, "lost" my Chat Session and the problem described above "STILL" exists. Now I have an even bigger mess, as I have none of my same "look" and feel of my Firefox that I had before. How do I get out of "Safe Mode" now, and get back to the same look I had before? Remember, once I get back to this point, then I still have to deal with the "Original Issue" I once had posted above. Thank you.

Update: This is NOT just related to "Yahoo" pages, while this problem first began with some of my Yahoo pages, it is now also happening with other NON Yahoo things I want to load up. Like Twitter, or Links in emails that load Blank, or even images within emails that show up Blank in the preview part of Yahoo mail. It is NOT a Yahoo issue as I have loaded up my Yahoo Mail in IE and Chrome, and everything loads wonderfully. I can even load up sites like Twitter, and other websites that will NOT load in Firefox, but they come up fine in other Browsers.
I have done the ONLY suggestion that came from Firefox Tech support, to load up FF in Safe Mode, but the problems still exists. I have uninstalled FF and re-loaded it, but the same problem is there.
Does anyone have any ideas here at all? I can't seem to get any Fire Fox help, so I am reaching out to the community here to see if anyone can help.... Thank you !!

The new firefox won't allow me to auto sign in even to sites I'm approved

I HATE the new Firefox. It keeps making me "allow" moving to different sites, even when it's within a site. Also, even though I have allowed certain sites (e.g., APA.org) it will not allow me to automatically reload or sign in. This is totally frustrating b/c it means I cannot even manually enter my password and sign in. I NEED this site for my business and Firefox is preventing me from totally normal use.

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Next, try doing a manual install/update using the instructions here:

How do i get rid of warning popups from FF like FF won't allow this page to open?

Simply put every time I try to open a page Firefox always pops up a warning box that says do I want to allow FF to open this page or some other such nonsensical idiocy! If I didn't want to open the blasted page would I have entered it in the first bloody place? I have my pop ups enabled for all pop ups already and that does not work either. What I want is this- NO WARNINGS FROM FF ABOUT ANYTHING AT ALL!!- How do I accomplish this major miracle? I run Firefox 3.6.16 because FF4 crashes more than 16 does. 16 works like crap too and won't allow imports from IE or Opera, Chrome or Orca or even Cometbird. I cannot file for my unemployment comp unless I can get rid of this pop up and fast! Can anyone help me? Please? Thanks I hope- JKMc/keimanzero

Thanks, Shailendra!I am glad it worked, Thanks for the point Janel. :)
That seems to work for when I run the page through the iSupplier portal. However I noticed during development when I am testing the page on my computer, I am still getting this message? Is there anyway to get rid of it on the client side? I assume that profile is set correctly on the development instance which you are using from JDEV.
Sometimes you need apache bounce to make sure the profile option change come into effect.
So do a apache bounce.

Outlook 2010 Won't Allow a User to Open Microsoft Office Attachments

Whenever the user attempts to open a Microsoft Office attachment (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) from Outlook they are greeted with this warning:
Microsoft Excel
! The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.
OK
Was this information helpful?
Sorry about the way this is written I am not able to add images
This issue is only affecting 1 user, opening attachments for the rest works fine.
I am able to save the attachment and Right-Click on the file and select Properties and Unblock the file which allows it to be opened.
I have researched the problem and found the Component Services settings are correct and do not need altering. Also, I have heard that switching the Protected View settings in office applications
off can solve this issue. But, wouldn't this allow potentially dangerous content to be opened as well?
Can anyone help please?

Hi,
Please navigate to the following folder and find the folder named OICE_XXXXXX-XXXXX-XXX, then check if there is any other folders in it. Please let me know the result.
In addition, you can try testing this issue within a new Windows user profile. For your reference:

When adding bookmarks and trying to changing its name, Firefox won't allow using the mouse; Firefox will only allow using the arrow keys (MAC OS 10.5, Firefox 3.6.8)

When adding a bookmark sometimes the web page name is too long. I used to be able to use my mouse, highlight the letters/words that I don't want, then use delete to truncate the desired bookmark name. Since the latest update/upgrade, Firefox won't let me use the mouse to click anywhere in the popup box. I can only use the arrow keys and the delete key.
Nothing other than updates (using Mac Software Update and Firefox Update) has been done to this computer (it's a 2002 Power Mac G4-Dual 1.25GHz).

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F). 
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

Firefox won't allow me to open what it thinks is an untrusted link but I trust it and want to open it.

Our enterprise communication uses Microsoft Lync but when I attempt to join a meeting I get the untrusted connection message and no button to let me open the connection. I end up using IE. In IE when I get an untrusted connection it will allow me to continue at my own risk. I like that because I know what I'm connecting to and understand risk.
I already tried setting to "No Proxy" as described on another thread.

Here is the deal. It is a trusted connection. Firefox thinks it isn't. I don't have the problem with Internet Explorer. As far as suppressing the exception button ... WHY? If I want to accept the risk and go forward it's my business. All of this is transpiring behind the government firewall and Lync is one of our enterprise solutions hosted internally. Anything within va.gov is trusted. Firefox has decided this to be NOT the case.
Technical Details:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect securely to vaphcclblweb.rtc.va.gov, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
vaphcclblweb.rtc.va.gov uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

Firefox won't allow some sites to open lightboxes or login popups.
