Firefox won't let me add known but unsecure site as an exception.

Since reinitialising my Windows XP computer Firefox 11.0 refuses me access to a site that previously was acceptable. I use this site to book an online appointment at my health centre. I now get the message "this connection is untrusted" and am presented with just the "get me out of here" click box. There is no opportunity to add it as an exception.
Internet Explorer (which I am loathe to use) tells me that the certificate has a valid name and date, but that I have chosen not to trust the company. How do I get out of this? I can find no way to mark this sirte as trustworthy.

My main frustration (and hence concern) is that it is only since I was foolish enough to completely clean up my system that Windows XP &/or Firefox 11.0 won't let me access a site I have used successfully for years! I have taken a screen shot & you will see that I can only cancel the URL request. What has happened to the "I understand the risks" box?
Where and how have I inadvertently told my system that I do not trust this organisation?

On a Mac I want to use Preview as default to read PDF's, and Firefox won't let me use anything but Adobe Reader. How to change?

It had been working properly until recently. I have tried the usual setting in firefox>preferences>applications. It accepts Preview as default, but uses Adobe anyway. If I set it to Ask, it does ask me, and when I tell it to use Preview it uses Adobe.
Desired default operation is download PDF's and open with Preview.

The file that stores your preferences for how to open downloads is named mimeTypes.rdf. Since it has a somewhat inscrutable format, the usual remedy is to rename it and have Firefox generate a new one.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show in Finder" button
Leaving Finder open, switch back to Firefox and Quit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Restart Firefox and reselect your preference. Any improvement?

Firefox won't let me pay bills but Internet Explorer will. E.g. 24ace.co.uk

I start to fill in details to pay a bill on a supplier's website. Firefox never gives me a successful completion. On some websites, I get as far as the "VISA Verify" last stage and then get a message that there has been a problem. On 24ace website, I only get as far as choosing to pay by Debit Card when the process stops before I get to the stage of entering the card details. Internet Explorer works first time every time. My operating system is VISTA32

Drakon may be thinking some new fixes in the beta version of Firefox might have fixed this particular problem. Although I am not that confident after using many versions of Firefox and the different types of builds they have (nightly, beta and release).
My advice is to stay on the current Firefox you have. I don't think there's any immediate solution to your problem as some websites are incompatible with Firefox and must update the broken website code on their site.
I'll try a test purchase on http://24ace.co.uk when I can and see if I get the same problem as you.
One easy thing to try is clearing your cookies and cache to see if that helps.
To clear cache and cookies:
* Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history
If no Firefox button is shown, go to Tools > Clear recent history.
* Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
* Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
* From the details list, check '''Cache''' and '''Cookies''' and uncheck everything else.
* Now click the '''Clear now''' button.

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Firefox won't let me change proxy setting

Firefox won't let me attach my Microsoft Office to my hotmail email account!

'''Firefox won’t let me attach my Microsoft Office document to my hotmail email account!'''

You are in the right area, this is the support forum.
You should not make the profile read only, that will cause problems, for instance you will not be able to change settings or add bookmarks.
Before you go any further try to make a copy of the current profile including the sub folders and files, and any accessible previous profile. (For instance are you using a disk image of the hdd prior to it being wiped, does that have the old profile on it) this suggestion is made because some of that information is likely to be useful, but is being put at risk of being deleted or overwritten.
Have a look at
*[[preferences are not saved]]
* and [[backing up your information]]
A potential problem is that you may have tried to restore from a Windows backup, they do not always work, and may need another clean re-install, but note do NOT delete the profile it is the program files that may need deleting.
Try the following in this order, testing after each stage
# return the profile settings to their standard privileges
# use firefox in [[safe mode]]<br/> no need to make changes in the options dialogue window, just click on continue
# try a new profile
#* see [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile]]_8-make-a-new-profile
# back up your profiles (see above) then try a clean reinstall http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group. When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category.

After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group. When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category. A message pops up that says: "You can't add events or to do items to a calendar group. Select an individual calendar in the calendar list, then create your events or to do items." Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I would like to either retrieve the old information or find a way to add the category back in to start over. Thanks in advance!

If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?

My question was already detailed: If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?
Here's an example. I want Firefox to go to this link:
http://www.therevdrcharleswallen.com/CV2008.doc
It won't. Explorer will go there, but Firefox won't. I don't want to open an extra document. I want to visit the site in my browser.

Firefox can't handle MS Office documents and you will have to open such a file in an external Office program of viewer.

Firefox won't let me upload files to nearly any Web site, so how can I fix this issue?

Whether it is gmail, Facebook, or more specifically this site (http://www.carnivalentertainment.com/index.htm), Firefox won't let me upload any type of file. Of course, if the Web site offers a standard uploader then I have a better chance of having a successful upload, but if it is not offered, then I am basically out of luck.

Dmitri2217Did you notice that the post you are replying to is almost a year old?
Apple is not reporting any problems currently.

Firefox won't let me select options from drop down menus, on the previous version nor on the current 4.0 version that I just downloaded.

If I am on a site and trying to get information etc, and I have to choose from a drop down menu of any kind, Firefox won't let me choose anything. I can't answer the next question regarding This Happened because I can't select from your drop down.

Firefox won't let me "book mark" any more

1. Firefox won't let me bookmark anymore. It puts the window up and I fill it in but it keeps telling me it didn't go through.
2.I am looking for comments about folks' experience with the newest version of Firefox and can't find it. I recall finding it before and reading lots of comments about problems with version 5--which I didn't download for that reason. Now you have a new version and I would like to know what folks are experiencing with it.

I don't know what you mean about storing them. I saved them. I had a number of "folders" that contained websites I wanted to access quickly. These seem to have disappeared. I have no way of remembering all of them so can't re-create them.
Is there something that got "turned off" when I downloaded the new version of Firefox?

Firefox won't let me allow a security certificate

I need connect to work remotely, but firefox won't let me. Says it can't verify the gateway and it's not safe to connect to the server. It doesn't even give me any option except to view the certificate. when I do that, it just ways that Windows doesn't have enough information to verify the certificate. Help!

Thanks -- however, I did previously and marked it as an exception. Now it says that it is a valid certificate, but I am still not allowed access -- I get the same message.
