Form scrambled in Firefox

I have a fillable form on our website. It works fine in Chrome and IE. However, if I click on the form's link in Firefox, I get a mess and a message at the top that says "This PDF document might not be displayed correctly". And the option to open in a different viewer.
What do I mean by "mess". The overall layout is correct. However, all the text on the form is a jumble of numbers and letters that mean absolutely nothing.
Here is the link if anyone wants to see what I mean.

Thank you.

I'm not sure what "Fast Web View" is.
This originally started as an Excel file, which I converted to a PDF (using "Save as Adobe PDF" in Excel). We then thought it would be nice to have a fillable form so I used Adobe Acrobat Pro to convert it to a form. After some minor touch ups to font size and such I saved it "Reader Extended PDF".
Please forgive my ignorance. I've never had an training with Adobe Acrobat, I am figuring this out as I go. With the help of these forums of course!!!
Thanks,
Carol

How I can go back to former version of firefox, because the new one is unacceptable bad.
I am just a computer and internet user, if you can't imagine what that's means, then I need to use and promote other web browsers.
I am really mad about the update, who is worthless!
sorry !
think about your reputation and do fast better.

Try to drag the current Firefox application to the trash if you can't replace it.

I use the Norton toolbar feature that manages all my passwords. How can I go back to the former version of Firefox since 4 is not compatible?

How can I go back to a former version of Firefox?

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

I downloaded form filler for firefox but can't find it and don't know how to use it?

I downloaded form filler for firefox but can't find it and don't know how to use it?

This doesn't sound like a Firefox problem. You should try to consider, methodically, what you did before the problem occurred so that you can describe to someone exactly what occurred, and in what order.

Since upgrading to Firefox 6, I can't use my autofill forms. It now has my name and address but doesn't have credit card or password information that it had before and I don't know how to input it or import it from former versions of Firefox.

I just upgraded to Firefox 5. Before when I filled in a form, I just had to click autofill and all my information was provided. I found autofill on customize toolbars and added it, but it only had my name and address, not my credit cards or passwords. Before I could click on them and change them if I needed to. I would like to input them on this version or import them from the last one so I can easily fill forms online, but I can't see how to do it.

Newsletter sign up form works in Firefox but not IE??

Hi, I have a website I am designing using dreamweaver CS3 and I added a newsletter sign up form using a 3rd party code. The form on the website looks perfectly fine in Firefox but the form fields are not present in IE. Does anyone know why this may be happening? The site is www.physioworks4me.com and I apologise in advance for my coding as I am just learning and not very good at this yet. I took the code that was supplied for the sign up form, opened up a brand new 'plain' html doc in dreamweaver, pasted the code and tried it. It seemed to work fine in both IE and FF....but when I use my template for the webpage I made, it will not work. I am using a XHTML page, could this be a problem with the javascript used for the sign up form? Thanks in advance for your help...

The first suggestion you'll receive from most here is to clean up your code
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.physioworks4me.com%2F&charset=%28detect +automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Also, you may have quicker results changing to a HTML Transitional doctype.

Why doesn't my form submit on Firefox 4?

I have not seen any answers or any replies to my question, so I will ask it again, but holding my breathe for a reply is a different story.
I have a form which works perfectly on any version of Firefox prior to version 4 and on any other browser including IE9.
I have attempted to rebuild the form to make it strictly HTML 5 compliant and removed all required fields. None of the fields are required by the db which receives the form's data.
Other forms on the website work fine.
So why does this form not work?

As BalusC said - run the JSP producing the xml.
Save that xml to a file - INCLUDING any white space - because thats what you actually get.
Open that xml file in your browser - it should tell you at that point if your xml is well formed.
AS BalusC said this is better done in a servlet - especially since you're just doing out.println.
JSPs add extra whitespace and carriage returns. While that won't necessarily break XML, it can cause problems with the first few characters.

Can I get the former version of Firefox back? The updated version stalls while browsing several times a day. I then have to close and restart.

Since updating Firefox, several times a day browsing will 'stall'. I have to close the browser and wait several minutes before I can restart it. Can I get the former version back? Please.

How to rum forms runtime in Firefox browser ?

Dear All,
How can i run the forms runtime that working in internal network on Firefox broswer insted of Internet Explorer ?
Best Regerds ,

A big question here is what jre do you have installed and what is in the formsweb.cfg?
Regarding the latter you can do a view source even if you don't see anything:
https://our.domain:7002/forms/frmservlet?test.fmx
That way you can see what the server formsweb.cfg is sending out.
Regarding firefox x-java-applet is the important part. Trouble begins if x-java-applet is specifying some particular version and that is not the version installed in firefox. I recommend it should
end up like so: (note this is specifying for download jre 6.24 and 6.26 is the current version. BTW you
need to have https: for all java download links or IE 8 will spew warnings about mixed security models).
The important thing is that x-java-applet is NOT specifying some version of the jre. Firefox does not
do family versioning like IE.

TYPE="application/x-java-applet"
If the server specified a certain version then that is what you'd have to have in firefox.
If you don't then it's not going to work.

Is it possible to disable form autocompletion in Firefox 4 but only for secure sites?

In general I want to use the autocomplete function but I don't want it to remember my credit card numbers. I just want to disable the feature for https sites.

Firefox 4 should use an algorithm to check form data for the presence of a credit card number and prevent it from getting saved as form data. So you can try to check if that works in your case.

I want to install / add Turbopassword to Firefox in order to fill in forms automatically. Firefox does not allow me to install it anymore. Thanks.

I used to have this feature until I had to install Firefox again. Now it tells me I cannot add it because it is not safe?? Please advice...
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== reinstall firefox

The '''Install Now''' button on that web page is for a Firefox extension that hasn't been updated in 3 years. It is for Firefox 2.0 versions and won't install in a later version of Firefox; and even if it was installed, it probably wouldn't even work as Mozilla has changed the password feature in Firefox 3 or 4 times since Firefox 2.
