Gmail doesn't work in Firefox and it constantly freezes up.

I have been getting the type error can't access dead object since version 14.01. Since upgrading I have had nothing but problems with Firefox. # times i have reverted back to 14.01 to get it to work with some semblance of consistency. I upgrade every time a new version become available but the problem doesn't go away.
I finally tracked the problem to Gmail. I only get the error when I try to open Gmail. Also Firefox is running like a pig since 14.01.
Constantly freezing up, getting the not responding message. Sometimes I just can't move my mouse for a minute or so.

I have done the safe mode thing to no avail.
I will try the other stuff.
Ever since i moved from 14.01 through the various versions to 18, I have had problems with Firefox. It is very slow and lots of time I get a Not Responding message.
I notice this error only happens when i access Gmail. I also notice that when I am in Google images, my Firefox really slows down and it also crashes a lot as the page of google images tries to load.
It seems all my Firefox problems have a tie in with Google.

CpSetValue doesn't work in Firefox and Chrome?

I've made changes in CaptivateMaintimeline.as as suggested by Jim Leichliter in his blog. And I use the following simple htm:

document.getElementById('Captivate').jim_cpSetValue(myVariable, myValue);
</script>
</center>
</body>
</html>
When I run this in IE8, it works almost! perfectly (when I show $$useremail$$ in label in CP4, it shows only [email protected] - one character missing, but anyway, it is not really important for now).
The funny thing is this code doesn't work in Firefox or Chrome. But when I enable any of the alert inside the setCaptivateVariable function, it works also almost! perfectly. Any idea?

Hi Ahmet and welcome to the forums!
When you use a text caption to display variables in Cp, you also have the option to choose how many characters get displayed. The default is 15. If you know your variable will be larger, set the value accordingly. Also, document.getElementById('Captivate') works only for IE. document.Captivate works for the rest. Look at the default.htm publishing template provided by your Captivate install to see how they detect the browser. You can do it their way, but I prefer using jQuery to do the browser detection. It's cleaner and easier to implement.

Gmail doesn't work in firefox; does work in internet explorer

Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Firefox 27.0.1
IE 11.0.9600.16428
my email account is with gmail.com
Everything works fine with IE; I connect to my gmail account and everything works normally.
When I use Firefox, I can login to my gmail account with no problem, but when I open an
email message, I see the message for 2 or 3 seconds, then I get dumped to a "re-enter your password" page. When I login again, I'm sent back to the same email message, I see it for 2 or 3 seconds, then it's back to the "re-enter your password" page. It doesn't matter which email message I try to view; works fine in IE, but "re-enter your password" in Firefox.

Does Gmail work better in a private browsing window? This is a test to see whether cookies are a factor. You can create a new private window by either:
* Pressing Ctrl+Shift+p
* orange Firefox button (or File menu) > New Private Window
More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Why doesn't work in Firefox and IE?

We made a site by Edge, it does work in Chrome and Safari but not on Firefox and IE, need a help to fix that!!

The Alt attribute isn't meant to show as a tooltip on hover.<br />
The Alt attribute is meant to show if the image isn't or can't be displayed.<br />
The title attribute is meant to show if you hover an image or link.<br />
If there is no title attribute, but there is an alt attribute then IE will show the alt attribute as a tooltip.<br />
Firefox doesn't do that, so if the title attribute is missing then you do not see a tooltip if you hover an image or link.<br />
* http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#title title
* http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#alternate-text
So if you add title="Smiley face" then Firefox will display the tooltip.
<pre><nowiki><img src="smiley.gif" alt="Smiley face" width="42" height="42" title="Smiley face" /></nowiki></pre>

Bug? Mouse wheel doesn't work on Firefox and Chrome when added an application skin

I added a customized skin to make the background of Flex to transparent. The skin is created by the "new file wizard" and only changed the "backgroundRect" 's alpha to "0".
It works with no problem in IE8.0.6001 and Opera11.6 but doesn't respond to any mouse wheel event in FireFox 11.0 and Google Chrome 17.0.963.79.
Is it a BUG?
The flash player's versions are: IE:11.1.102.55; FireFox:11.1.102.55; Chrome:11.1.102.63; Opera:11.1.102.55

I opened a new Flex project and then tried again. I finally found that it's not a problem of flash but div rendering.
It seems Firefox and Chorme don't pass mouse wheel event automatically if div layout is set to "absolute".
Although this is not a Flex issue, any idea of passing that event to flash will be appriciated. I haven't find a way to do it so far :-(
What I'm doing is editing the "index.tamplate.html" to test. I added a div to contain the div of "flashContent" and set it's style to:
    position: absolute;
    top: 150px; left: 150px;
    height: 250px; width: 250px;
    z-index: 10;
Another div's z-index is set to 1 to test the overlay effect.
The reason why I added a div to contain the original div of flash, is I cannot figure out a way to effectively edit the CSS of the "flashContent" div.
Any help will be thankful!!

JQuery/Javascript not working on Firefox and Chrome

Hi guys, I've had this Jquery/Javascript on my page for a long time. This has stopped working. If the user clicks on buttons on the Apex page, nothing happens.
It works on IE but doesn't work on Firefox and Chrome. It used to work fine.
Is there anything I can change to make it work on all 3 browsers?
Firefox error console shows a syntax error at this point in the script:
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
Please can someone help?
This is the full script:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var itemChanged = false;
$(document).ready(function(){
var $items = $(':input');
var $htmlButtons = $(':button[id]');
var $templateButtons = $(':button[class]');
var $allButtons = $($htmlButtons).add($templateButtons);
$items.change(function() {
itemChanged = true;
$templateButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return $(this).attr('onclick').toString().split('\n')[2];
$htmlButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return this.id;
$allButtons.removeAttr('onclick');
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
$('a').click(function(event){
if ($(this).children('img[id="P&APP_PAGE_ID._DATE_PICKER_IMG"]').length > 0) {
event.preventDefault();
eval($(this).attr('href'));
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if (itemChanged) {
return 'You have made changes to data on this page. If you navigate away from this page without first saving your data, the changes will be lost.';
//]]>

JavaScript doesn't work on any site at all? If particular sites are the issue, or you get specific error messages, please let us know.
Usually the only two ways to disable JavaScript in Firefox are:
(1) Options dialog > Content tab<br>
(2) NoScript add-on (or other security-related add-ons)
Normally Safe Mode bypasses issues caused by add-on problems or non-default settings, so it's worth considering external issues.
Does JavaScript work normally in any other browsers you have installed?

I woke up this morning and google and gmail no longer work in firefox. I get the endless loop error

I woke up this morning and google and gmail no longer work in firefox. I get the endless loop error.
I have the latest version of firefox and it is running under win 7 pro.
it was working great since I installed it 3 weeks ago and I use it every day.
the error reads:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
However my cookies are still enabled and and i have never changed my settings

Gmail doesn't work and I tried everything there is on these forums, it just doesn't want to work for me

gmail won't work in Firefox for me and I literally went to every forum an threat I could find and followed all of these instructions but I just can't get the damn thing to work, i even installed the Gmail panel app but I just won't work, it gives me the standard message that I need to enable my cookies, privacy, ... etc and I did all of that and all of the the other stuff (clear cache & cookies, change to 'no proxy', made a new profile, changed the file manually in the folder, etc.) and it just won't work and it's driving me insane. This made me change to chrome last year but that takes too much memory and I just love firefox. pls don't tell me I need to keep chrome installed just to read my mails there because this is ridiculous. pls help

I would advice you not to follow the above advice as that will cause you to delete the Firefox profile folder and you lose all your personal data (bookmarks and other data).
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.

Middle mouse button doesn't work in Firefox

On my Lenovo Thinkpad the middle mouse button, that scrolls a web page up and down, doesn't work in Firefox only. In all other programs (including IE) the scroll function of the trackpoint middle button works fine, but in Firefox not at all. One solution described at Firefox is to edit a pref for a "ui.trackpoint_hackenabled" parameter, and I did change that value to 1, and restarted Firefox, but NO luck.
I'm using 4.0.1.

Nobody got any insights?

Why the hell ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.2 DOESN'T WORK on Firefox 4???

Adobe Flash Player 10.2 doesn't work on firefox 4. I downloaded 10 times, I installed and again, "Please install ADOBE FLASH PLAYER"

You appear to have it installed twice. Your system specs show you have both Shockwave Flash 9.0 r28 and Shockwave Flash 10.2 r159 installed.
What I suggest you do here is to uninstall Flash using Adobe's uninstaller which you can download from here: [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
Close Firefox before you run the uninstaller, then reboot.
Then manually install Flash using this file: [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe] Close Firefox again before you run it.
