FTP Firefox vs IE over BorderManager

BorderManager 3.9 SP1 proxy appears to have a problem with Firefox and
FTP sites.
On Firefox 3.0.5 through BMgr, this URL format:
ftp://ftp.domainname.com/ returns:
HTTP Error
Status : 401.1 Invalid Logon Credentials
Description : FTP: Login to server failed.
Note : If necessary, please contact your Systems Administrator for
resolution.

On Firefox 3.0.5 direct to the internet, this URL format:
ftp://ftp.domainname.com/ returns a logon prompt.
On Firefox 3.0.5, this URL format:
ftp://username:[email protected]/ returns:
Please specify the password.
Login successful.

And clicking on the Folder Name does nothing.
On IE 6, this URL format: ftp://username:[email protected]/

Folder Name
And I can click on the folder name and view the contents.
Is there a setting or patch that needs to be applied to fix this?
Thanks!

>2. On the browser settings, what do you have configured for ftp?
I'm using a proxy.pac file. To make sure it isn't the problem, I
changed to Manual proxy configuration and entered my ip address and
8080 for http proxy and checked the "use this proxy server for all
protocols" box and I still get the same error.
Suggestions? Thanks!

  • Firefox has taken over almost all of my desktop and I can't remove it....

    Firefox has taken over three quarters of my desktop and I can't remove it. This is irritating and I will remove firefox if this continues,
    I have pictures of my daughter as my desktop and do not appreciate this.

    On any windows machine use "Alt+SpaceBar" to help you move or resize the window.
    Windows 7 (only) users can use WinKey+leftarrow (cursor keys) to reposition window to the left half of the screen and then you can resize or move from there with the normal methods. Works nicely if you for instance lost your window on another monitor or want to switch the window to a different monitor in use. (something to look forward to in the future as you are on Vista)
    Please refer to the following article for many more tips, more complete information on how to fix, and if possibly an extension is involved in the problem.
    * '''http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window'''
    It is still possible to resize and move windows with JavaScript for those who lost the ability with Firefox 8.0 and above, but it involves a couple of extra steps covered in the above article.

    Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ") (from article).
    The "Tools" menu has an "Options" selection, but I cannot find in any of those menus a selection controlling the location of the tabs. Where is the "Firefox Button" referred to in the article "Why are tabs on Top?"

    If you turn on the classic menu bar, that replaces the orange Firefox button. To get the Firefox button back, right-click the menu bar to display the toolbars list, and uncheck Menu Bar.
    You can always temporarily display the classic menu bar by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10.
    The toolbar list pop-up also lets you control Tabs on Top.

  • How to play Netflix on my Imac G5, it has Safari and Firefox 3, and over 1gb Ram and Mac OS X 10.4.11

    How to play Netflix on my Imac G5, it has Safari and Firefox 3, and over 1gb Ram and Mac OS X 10.4.11

    You referenced that you had a iMac G5 model?
    G5's are PowerPC CPUs and not Intel CPUs.
    The Microsoft Silverlight software works with Intel chip Macs only.
    And, if I am not mistaken, the software requires OS X 10.5.8 Leopard or greater to install.
    So, you need both an Intel Mac with, at least, OS X 10.5.8 as minimum requirements.
    Netflix will still not work on your Mac.

  • "Over-Installation" of Firefox 6.0 over old Firefox 3.6.20 ?!

    Hello!
    Can i "over-install" Firefox over my old Firefox 3.6.20 without any problems? It is very important for me that bookmarks, chronic/history, cache etc. are kept from my old installation (3.6.20). Would this be possible if I install Firefox 6 in the folder where I have 3.6.20 installed?
    Thank you All in advance!

    Then you haven't uninstalled "Glims." Do so according to the developer's instructions.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
    You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

  • Firefox Proxy Fail-over is not working correctly

    I am in a corporate environment, where we must use a complex auto-proxy, by configuring an automatic proxy configuration of http://proxyconf/proxy.pac. I am seeing an intermittent failure with Firefox 3.6.13, where the same site will load after a delay in IE (e.g. it works for half an hour, then fails for a while, etc.).
    By using Wireshark and tracing the packets, I have identified that a proxy server is intermittently failing, and Firefox is failing to try the second proxy. The auto proxy rule that is being invoked is:
    if (!isResolvable(host)) return "PROXY 172.16.39.201:8080; PROXY 10.241.32.28:8080";
    The problem is that Firefox is never failing over - it tries the 172 address 6 times in a row, then gives up and displays the "The proxy server is refusing connections" "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." "* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct." "* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working." error message. It continues with this behavior regardless of how many attempts, reloads, restarts are tried.
    IE on the other hand will try and fail with the 172 address, and then start using the 10. address (which works correctly). Several other applications also work correctly, such as IRC clients.
    Obviously the corporate proxy that is failing must be fixed, however Firefox is failing to utilitize the 2nd proxy after the first one fails.
    Seems like a bug.
    Is there some easy way for me to replace the proxy file with my own file? E.g. replace http://http://proxyconf/proxy.pac with file://c:\..., or use some add-on?
    It must be an autoproxy script, as there is no single proxy that I can use for all addresses.

    You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />
    That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

  • While using firefox, when mouse over link causing monitor to crash

    Windows 7; Dell studio xps
    On mouse over a link/photo link and/or click on a link and my monitor goes into standby mode. Monitor still on (as is my computer) but cannot reestablish visual on monitor. Have used Explorer in the past and never had this problem. This error happens almost every time when I perform an image search with Google then mouse over a resulting image.

    Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].

  • I uninstalled mozilla firefox in protest over firing your CEO because of his contribution in support of Prop 8.

    Brendan Eich was pushed to resign as CEO because he contributed $1000 in support of Prop 8 in California in 2008. He was supporting what a majority of Californians voted for and was entitled to donate to this cause. Since when is freedom of speech no longer a right? Since when do the gays call the shots of who can do what and when?
    I have used Firefox for many years, but uninstalled it and will never again use it as long as you continue to punish your employees for supporting something they believe in. Are you going to start dictating the people your employees can vote for next? I sincerely hope Mr Eich found a better job somewhere else where he doesn't have to apologize for his beliefs.

    Would it really hurt you to ask for facts on what happened with Brendan Eich before assuming the worst happened instead?
    They knew about his 2008 donation as it was public record (due to California law on donations with name and employer being listed) for a couple years at least and the board and employees (apart from a small number) supported him for who he is to promote him from CTO to CEO. This was not found out after he became CEO as some mistakenly believed.
    Unfortunately some media outlets will rather publish sensationalized stories generating many clicks and increased revenue by ads than perform the most basic fact-checking or even posting the truth.
    In fact Brendan refused to step down (as first link from day before shows) due to the pressure from outside campaigning to get him to resign as CEO. However it just got so bad in increasing attacks that he felt he could no longer be an effective leader with people constantly attacking him. He decided to leave as his way of helping Mozilla however this then triggered attacks more towards Mozilla due to the misconceptions made by individuals and article writers thinking was fired or forced out.

  • HELP says: "How do I put tabs back on bottom like they used to be? At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. " This doesn't work in Win XP.

    On Win7 this HELP works. But on Win XP there is no Firefox button. Instead there is the menu bar. In TOOLS|OPTIONS there is no checkbox for "Tabs on top".
    Is there some way to move the tab bar back down where it belongs in Firefox on WinXP?
    Thanks,
    Ted

    On WinXP the Firefox button isn't shown by default. It appears when you hide the Menu Bar.
    Right-click the Menu Bar and click on Tabs on Top, so the check-mark is gone for that menu item.
    Or, you can open '''View''' > Toolbars and un-check Tabs on Top.

  • Sound stutters in Firefox flash applications over time

    If firefox is left open too long, flash sound stutters (each second of the sound will play about 5+ times before playing the next).
    While the problem is happening in Firefox, I can open other browsers to the exact same web page and all is fine.
    A Hotfix for the problem:  in Firefox go to Tools -> Addons and disable flash. Once it's disabled, re-enable it and refresh the page. Everything is back to normal and you don't have restart firefox.
    This would seem to point to Shockwave Flash being the problem.
    Firefox 3.5.8  Adobe Flash 10,0,45,2   Using the Ubuntu Linux Operating System
    I have been looking for 3 weeks now and have not found a solution.  It looks like the same problem happens in Windoz, etc.
    Help!

    Since Firefox is on 3.6.2 (and I assume that's for Linux as well, but I haven't updated my Ubuntu in a month or so) why use 3.5?
    You said, "I can open other browsers to the exact same web page and all is fine."
    Since they all use the same Shockwave/Flash engine, that would indicate that the problem is NOT in the Shockwave/Flash engine, but rather in the one browser with the issues... namely the outdated Firefox.

Maybe you are looking for
