Gmail and other sites stop functioning normally
This has happened to me with Pale Moon, and then I moved back to Firefox (23.0), which worked fine for a few days and then developed the same symptoms:
Google sites don't work correctly. Gmail shows the basic view, telling me to upgrade the browser. Google search doesn't show options, Google Play doesn't show a search bar.
MMORPG.com doesn't let me log in, complaining "Cookies not Detected".
Cookies are on (and are actually set by MMORPG.com, I cleared them and they were recreated) and Javascript is on, everything seems normal, and most sites work fine. However these two problems are enough to drive me crazy (in particular the Google sites problem).
Edit: I noticed that I have problems with some other sites.
You have a general.useragent.override pref that is corrupting the user agent.
*general.useragent.override: undefined GoogleToolbarBB

Ebay and other sites dont display normally as they were
hello--im a guy with a Firefox webpage display problem.....Firefox doesn't display web pages the same as my opera and chrome browsers do now....after 27.0 upgrade i think is problem maybe...but my eBay auction pages are different ...they have 3 drop down box areas when normally a week ago they weren't there...for seller location item number return policy etc...normally they should all be presented there in the open..but Firefox no longer does this...my eBay page display of lists is different too now....i had to uncheck now not letting way website chooses to display itself ..i manually had to set text size etc eBay was all messed up.....coast to coast am doesn't present right either on Firefox compared to opera and chrome which show it normally....i tried putting the eBay auctions and my eBay page on the http://validator.w3.org site you recommend..it shows 300 errors and 50 warning for the eBay auction page as HTML 5 it says..my eBay page had 50 errors and 30 warnings...i have no idea what all that is im not a programmer code writer or hacker.....myself i think these are major websites and they do display properly in other major browsers....so i feel Mozilla Firefox is at fault and has bug issues...can you contact Mozilla technical support please..i have no way of knowing any support emails or technical support phone numbers ..just these last hope support forums which aren't much help to me....
Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (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.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

Firefox 4 on XP hangs on gmail (and other sites) when flash is installed
Firefox 4 hangs for about 30 to 45 seconds when logging into gmail and some other sites. The problem goes away when flash is uninstalled. This sounds similar to the problem:

However, performing the solution provided (uninstalling and reinstalling after reboot) does not work on my system.You have a general.useragent.override pref that is corrupting the user agent.

Onscreen Keyboard and GMail (and other sites)
Couldn't find anything on this in my search - but my onscreen keyboard pops up when i touch the screen (in regular notepad mode when I'm using the physical keyboard). It seems to happen only for certain textboxes on certain pages.
One place for sure when this always happens is GMail when I hit the compose button. When I touch anywhere in the compose box the onscreen keyboard pops up.
This is completely annoying and I don't know how to make it stop.
Is there anyway to completely disable the onscreen keyboard in notepad mode? I would only need it in tablet or other modes.

When i try to navigate to gmail (and other sites) I get a strange download prompt.
It says this (with the filename varying from site to site.):
You have chosen to open:
Which is: application:octet-stream
From: mail.google.com
What should Firefox do with this file?
Open
Save
Its very strange, it just happens when i enter a website into navigation bar and bit enter.

I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. This so annoying, I just switched to Firefox. I don't like Firefox nearly as much as I like Safari. What is happening? How do I fix the problem?
Thank you.Might be a corrupted database ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test. -
My MacBook keyboard and track pad stopped functioning after pairing an Apple wireless mouse and keyboard. Any suggestions?
I deleted the mouse by selecting it in the bluetooth options and clicking the minus tab. I went ahead and reinstalled OS X right afterwards. Right now I am having to use a USB mouse and keyboard. I disconnected both prior to start up. I get a widow that shows a demonstration on how to install batteries into a wireless mouse only way to pass that screen was to reattach the USB mouse. Then with a fresh startup no resolve.

after updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google(web ,image,video,map etc),yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. even I cant log out from different sites cz the log out bar is completely disabled. I tried with Firefox 4;5 and 6, same problem exist . I tried by active all add ons for facebook, same problem exist. If I use internet explorer , I don't find such problem with it.
How can I solve this problem?Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long. -
though I have sufficent memory space, and other internet based functions are running...
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

However, since it works with other networks that really suggests a problem with your network. -

suddenly in the middle of editing a large project in Aperture the cropping and others tools stopped working. Did I accidently hit something to do that?
Maybe you hit the "p" key?
Then "Quick Preview" will be turned on and prevent editing. Hit "p" again or use the "View" ->"Quick Preview" menu entry. -
Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden?
Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden? A few weeks ago Safari was working OK but now I often have to use Firefox to visit certain webpages.
Anyone else having this same problem?
Is there a quick fix?
I'm using Safari 2.0.4
Thanks.Hi QuickTimeKirk,
I have WMP version 9, as well. I do not use F4M, for many users f4mac is what helps.
I find some items work while others do not. I always get an alert about the wmp , which version it is, takes very long to load, I find it is not consistant with Safari, as seems the poster of this topic has found.
Quoted from ms Mactopia site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/
Download and find information about Windows Media Player for Mac and playing Windows Media files in your QuickTime Player. Which download is right for you?

Validation of the cnn home page using the W3C Validatior, http://validator.w3.org/
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F
though 41 errors is not as poor as some, Firefox handles the site better than Safari, imo.
Some sites just work better with Firefox or an other browser.
