Firefox works, IE doesn't

I can't get either shockwave or flash to install in IE7.
I'm using XP Pro SP2 with latest patch level. I'm also using
both IE7 and Firefox 2.0.0.5 and java 6 update 2 runtime. Both
flash and shocwave work correctly in firefox, but neither works in
IE7. My HK Classes Root has proper permissions, there's nothing in
the Event Viewer

I had the same problem of flash player installing with
Modzilla but not with IE. (This is with VISTA.) I tried the
recommendation to turn off account controller. It worked! After
installation I turned account controller back on and it still
works. Thanks, Sjeanmarie.

IE works, my business partners's firefox works, mine doesn't

Firefox has refused to open, it gives me the message Problem loading page, unable to connect. The internet is live, my business partner is on the same network as me and his firefox loads. IE works, I've uninstalled firefox and reinstalled, I've checked your forum questions and disabled IPv6. I'm out of ideas

I don't know if this is the issue, but you might check to see if Firefox is up-to-date. Filehippo has a program that scans your computer and checks for this: http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/
I know that it prompts me quite often that there is a new update for Firefox. Download it to your desktop and run it from there.

Firefox works; Safari doesn't

About two days ago, Safari (3.1.2 on Tiger) began failing to find a server...any server. At the same time, Firefox (3.0.1) works fine. I've tried repairing permissions and upgraded my router's firmware. No go. Any suggestions?

I'm setting up a new iMac and had this same problem. iTunes store and Safari didn't work but Firefox was fine.
I called Apple Care and after a little research, they had me go into System Preferences > Network.
My location was set for Default. They had me use the drop down box to Edit Locations and create a new location (name it anything you like).
I did that. Then clicked "Apply." After a few seconds nothing had happened, then I clicked the Configure drop down but kept it at "Using DHCP" and everything set automatically and seemed to fix the problem.
Hope this helps with your problem.

Firefox 20.0 doesn't work for secure sites - it hangs up. Just upgraded to Mountain Lion.

I try to login to a secure site, but Firefox 20.0 doesn't return the login page. The busy wheel just goes around and around for a long time, but nothing happens.

Hello sonyashannon, you can't login to a specific secure site, you can't connect to any secure site ?

Check and tell if its working.
Might not be related to your problem but some of your Plugins are out-dated

Firefox worked before, but now, when i try to start it, i get and error "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed". I tried to reinstall it, to reboot, nothing helps.

Hi,
Firefox worked before, but one time my system crashed. When I rebooted, Firefox won't start anymore. All I got is a pop-up window, saying We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts. Problem is it never restarts. When I press Restart Firefox button, I get the same message. I tried to reinstall Firefox, to make a new profile, rebooted the system, nothing works. What can be done ? Thank-you.

Of course I checked firefox crashes. I searched and haven't found my problem. I used Firefox 5 when it happened, then, seeing it doesn't work no matter what I do, I upgraded to 6. The same problem. So it's not 5 or 6 related. Computer probably wrote something to hard disk when it crashed and now the file is corrupted and prevents Firefox from starting. I don't know what file (or part of the registry) is. I could erase everything, but that would mean I will lose every Firefox settings and I don't want that. Now I am using Google Chrome to write this. I miss my Firefox. :( What else can I do ?
This is the error I get when I try to start Firefox:

If I upgrade my iMac G4 from Tiger OSX 10.3.9 to Leopard OSX 10.5 will Firefox work properly as it will not allow me to upgrade and so I am losing out on much of what Firefox does?

The message is That I am using an older version of Firefox but I can't upgrade to the most recent version (within the last year) and I am losing the ability to do things. For example, I can't send out emails from Gmail now, the type on the screens of many web sites is squeezed small and some web pages are "scrambled" in appearance. Before I purchase an upgrade to the Leopard OSX 10.5 I would like to know if Firefox works properly with it?

Well, with a PPC Mac you can upgrade as far as Firefox 3.6.19 if you upgrade from Tiger OSX 10.3.9 to Leopard OSX 10.5, but Firefox doesn't support PPC architecture in the latest Firefox 4, 5, and 6.0 versions.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0 & 5.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . 
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
But, you still need to carefully investigate if your hardware specs are sufficient for either Firefox 3.6.19 or for 10-4Fox.

Mozilla has nothing to do with a Microsoft product activation key.
That "test" page should be viewed in Internet Explorer and not with Firefox, as it may use ActiveX which isn't compatible with any Mozilla product.

When will Firefox work with Windows 8.1

Everything I have read on the internet tells me I should avoid downloading and installing Firefox, as it doesn't appear as though it will work with Windows 8.1. Additionally, I read that Mozilla has plans to release, sometime in March 2014, a version of Firefox that will work with my system. Problem is, when? When can I know that it is safe to download and install Firefox? I miss it and although Internet Explorer is greatly improved over past versions, I still prefer Firefox as a default browser. There are features that IE doesn't have and probably never will. Features that I can only get in Firefox. So.......................I am patiently waiting.

March 18 is the next release date, for Firefox 28.

How can we give a padding-right:28px; to a frame in firefox, while all the other browsers are supporting the padding style which firefox Mozilla browser doesn't . can anyone help me on this.

Safari not loading pages, Firefox working fine

Hi there,
My Safari has not been working for about 6 months now, thought it's about time I did some troubleshooting.
Pages just refuse to load. The blue progress bar stays in the same spot and doesn't move.
I have performed several updates since it stopped working, most recently updated to Safari 5.0.6 - and still nothing.
Firefox works without a problem though..
Things I have tried:
Running Safari on another user account
Reinstalling and rolling back to earlier versions of Safari.
Deleting all add-ons in InputManager folders (Both home and HD directories)
Repairing HD in DIsk Utility
Really unsure what to try next, any help would be greatly appreciated!

When you have problems with apps in more then one account, it's possible the startup disk needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility and verify and if necessary, repair the startup disk.

Safari in tiger broken, firefox works

Installed Tiger, Safari stopped working. Firefox works. Internet Explorer doesn't work. Just tried updating to 10.2 (automatic updates don't work either), and still the same.
Symptom: Safari tries to open home page (google), times out with blank page. Same with all other pages tried. Message is: "Safari cant open the page.
Safari could not open the page http://www.google.com/ because the server stopped responding."
Network connection is through airport connecting to DSL modem using PPPoE. Network preferences look fine.
Many network connections work fine; FireFox (now used to post this), Mail, ssh to other hosts, etc.
I tried turning on the debug menue and playing around, but no magic appeared. Page Load Test finishes with status OK, but page hasn't loaded.
Wits end... thanks for any help.

Hi Norman, a better log to look at would be ~/library/crash reporter/safari.
Have you tested with a hard wired connection? Have you tried entering an ip number? Try this in Safari:
http://17.254.0.91/
What do you mean in your first post " Just tried updating to 10.2 (automatic updates don't work either), and still the same"? I got confused because your specs say 10.4.2 but if you mean you haven't yet updated to 10.4.2 because you can't download it through SU, then there is a better option.
First repair Permission and DIsk:
Repair Permissions: This should be done BEFORE and AFTER all software installs and updates.
1. Navigate to Utilities/DiskUtility and launch Disk Utility.
2. Choose your volume (usually the second icon)
3. Choose "First Aid" tab
4. Click on "Repair Permissions"
Repair Disk:
Steps for using Disk Utility
1. Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key until you see the spinning gear..
2. Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6. Click Repair.
If you repair errors run it until no errors found.
Now, you may be able to repair this with the 10.4.2 Stand Alone Combo Update.
This is a full install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
Good luck, let us know.

Firefox opens, then doesn't respond. Can't reset. Fresh install doesn't fix it. Mac OSX

I was browsing the internet with Firefox when it froze, so I force quit. I open it but it immediately freezes/does the spinning wheel mouse cursor thing indefinitely, so I have to force quit it again.
I tried restarting and shutting down my Mac. Then I tried resetting Firefox, but it doesn't respond. I tried in Safe Mode, but it still immediately does the spinning wheel cursor. So then I tried doing a fresh reinstall, several times. But it still keeps having the same problem.
Help!
Edit. I don't think it could be a problem with my add ons, seeing as I've used the same ones for years and never had this problem.
One thing I did change a few days ago, is usually I let my Firefox History store things for ages, but I thought I'd free up RAM by changing these settings. I forget which settings I changed though, possibly changed something so it deletes history and and something else after shutting down each session.

It seems I found a solution for my problem!
I went into 'Username/Library/Application Support/...' and deleted the Firefox folder with the Profile settings because it seemed to be the settings I changed that triggered the problem beforehand.
I then proceeded with trashing the application and the .dmg downloads, and doing a fresh install again. Firefox is now opening and working normally for me. (However, I do not know why changing my History settings in the first place, caused this problem.)
PLEASE NOTE: if anyone else tries this, if you delete the whole folder you will lose all your saved bookmarks. There is probably a folder within Profiles that you can copy and save to keep your bookmarks, but I'm not sure which one it is.

HT204416 My Safari is no longer working with many sites. However Chrome and Firefox work fine. I would like to re-install Safari in an effort to clear up the problem I can not resolve.

My Safari is no longer working with many sites. However Chrome and Firefox work fine. I would like to re-install Safari in an effort to clear up the problem I can not resolve.

1. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
2. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Test.
3. If the above steps don't resolve the problem, please describe it in more detail.
