Firefox won't let most pages and images on common sites like photobucket

I use a Website everyday:
furry-paws.com
It won't load most images.
I also use:
photobucket.com
It refuses to load libraries and let me upload any photos.
It also wont load half of the pages I visit.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

What are Firefox's timeout for loading pages and images

On a website I'm developing I'm experiencing problems with images occasionally only partially loading. I'm trying to prove the problem is caused by my hosting company's server terminating resource requests prematurely . To this end, I created a test pages that has several very large images embedded. I navigate to the page and see how many images fully load.
However I need to ensure that Firefox is not influencing the test. I.e. firefox is not giving up on the images if they are taking too long to load.
So my questions are:
1) What are the various parameters that firefox uses to abandon downloads of images etc? And does it depend on the number of images on the pages, tabs open, number of domains simultaneously accessing, etc
2) Can I change the settings in about:config so firefox will wait a very long time for resources and only stop when the server stops sending stuff.
3) Does firefox log anything so I can tell if firefox has given up the server has given up. (I noticed for the bad images, Firebug says "Image corrupt or truncated")
Thanks.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Firefox won't let me run and executable from the website-it wants to save it

Looks like I lost all this information when I clicked to install the troubleshooter???
again-- problem is I deleted old Internet Explorer and tried to install I.E. 8. With Firefox, I can't click download and choose run. When I click download I can only save.
The saved download doesn't produce a file that works (it just tries to install I.E. , cleans off old files and restarts the PC OVER AND OVER.)
I would like the choice to RUN a file instead of saving but I can't find out how to get this option back.
I disabled all plugins, add ons, looked for possible limiting causes in Firefox to disable. STILL--I have NO CHOICE.
Maybe this plea for help won't fix my problem and I will have to REPAIR windows--hate to risk it--I would have to back everything up, etc.
Hopefully a simple answer to this question will solve my problem.
Thank you to all who consider my question. I appreciate your time.

Hi--
Thanks for the response. I was sure I used to have the choice to '''run '''or '''save '''when I started using Firefox and somehow I lost it with one of my adjustments. Forgot how or what I did!
Before going back to Microsoft to try that I.E. program file again, I tried one more time to run it. That was the 5th time I tried to install I.E. from the saved file --and it worked!
However, after that I tried to download an executable file from malwarebytes--- with and without my Kaspersky internet security program on--- the file RAN automatically anyway instead of insisting on SAVING!
Maybe this was a microsoft issue?
I am relieved that all is settled. Always try things 3 or more times is the rule with computers, right?
But thanks for the tips--I may need them someday. Likewise the Safe mode w/ network support tip.
ALSO--The page you referred me to was one I hadn't found with my own searching--it was much much better than the others. I bookmarked it.
Thanks again...

Firefox won't let me put info in my work site. Internet Explorer does but I do not want to use it.

I log on to my work site and Firefox will not let me enter info for the customer. The cursor blinks, but it will not allow me to put anything in the blank. I can go to the same site in IE and it lets me fill in the blanks. How do I do that in Firefox?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet (works fine with IE)

Ok...Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet. It will let me right click on the image, but I won't let me choose a file type..like jpeg.
I couldn't figure it out so i completely uninstalled firefox then reinstalled. I'm still having the same problems.
I can save images normally with IE.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the + box". Is that a feature on one of your toolbars?

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.
* [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]

I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
* FirefoxButton -> add-ons
** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]
** examples [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar/ yahoo toolbar] & [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-mail-notifier/ mail notifier]

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]] 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

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
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several days ago

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")

HT4623 When I try to update IOS 6 to my I Phone using my computer, it keeps saying This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version. It won't let me update and I don't have wi fi

When I try to update IOS 6 to my I Phone using my computer, it keeps saying This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version. It won't let me update and I don't have wi fi

It seems that you try to update iTunes rather than your phone. To update your phone, connect it to your computer, and on the page of your phone in iTunes, you should have a button "check for updates" or something similar.

Firefox won't store my usernames and passwords

'''bold text'''hi there,

need help.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox? 
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.

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 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.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
