Got problems with firefox 3.x, 4.x and 5 on win 7 x86 or x64 with proxy autodetection although it works on winXP

at work we use to setup browsers with proxy autodetection activated and it worked perfectly on all platforms we use win XP,7 and linux and with all browsers i tried (ie : IE7,8,9), firefox 3.x,4.x,5 and other ones. below a post of the original wpad.dat that worked with everything (every IP or fqdn replaced with x):
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
if (isPlainHostName(host) || dnsDomainIs(host,".x.x")|| dnsDomainIs(host,".x.xx") || dnsDomainIs(host,".x.x.xx") || isInNet(host, "x.x.x.X", "255.255.0.0") || isInNet(host, "x.x.x.x", "255.255.0.0") || isInNet(host, "x.x.x.x", "255.255.0.0") || localHostOrDomainIs(host,"xxx.xxxx.xx"))
return "DIRECT";
else
return "PROXY xxxxx.xxx.xxxx:3128";
Today i decided to manage other sites with wpad.dat, and to customize proxy for each site that points to wpad.dat.
below the new wpad.dat:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
if (isPlainHostName(host) || dnsDomainIs(host,".x.xx")|| dnsDomainIs(host,".x.xx") || dnsDomainIs(host,".x.x.xx") || isInNet(host, "x.x.x.x", "255.255.0.0") || isInNet(host, "x.x.x.x", "255.255.0.0") || isInNet(host, "x.x.x.x", "255.255.0.0") || localHostOrDomainIs(host,"x.x.xx"))
return "DIRECT";
else if (shExpMatch(myIpAddress(), "x.x.*"))
return "PROXY x.X.x:3128";
else if (shExpMatch(myIpAddress(), "x.x.x.*"))
return "PROXY y.y.y:8181";
else if (shExpMatch(myIpAddress(), "x.x.*"))
return "PROXY z.z.z.z:8181";
Since those changes it doesn't work anymore with firefox on linux and win7, but still works with any browsers on winXP and most surprising works on win7 with ie8 or ie 9 not tested with ie7.

    I got a new 25" LG ultra wide monitor and would love to use it with my macbook pro Late 2011. I can't get the resolution to the recommended 2560x1080. Can anyone help?

    I found a similar question on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/2560x1080-resolution-macbook-resolution-option-/forum/Fx15 6DUSW1J104N/Tx14L2NHT4Y3F8K/1/ref=cm_cd_ql_tlc_al?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00JM99DIU
    It looks like you may need a mini-displayport to Displayport cable. You can also try holding the option key while clicking on "scaled" to see if the option you need comes up.

  • TS4118 Ever since I got the iphone 5  my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook.  I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and  unlink and re link to Outlook.

    Ever since I got the iphone 5  my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook.  I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and  unlink and re link to Outlook.  this creates multiple categories of contacts and calenders and I have no idea which is syncing with my phone, ipad, outlook.  Help.  thanks.

    Sounds like the Outlook plugin isn't working properly.  You could try a couple of things:
    Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, uninstall iCloud, the download and install the iCloud contol panel for Windows again from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455.  Then sign back into your iCloud account and check your syncing settings again.
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  (Uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.)  This will replace the Outlook plugin.
    Then try your calendar again and see if it will sync properly now.

    I have a Verzion iPhone 4s with iOS 7 installed on it and the friend my friends dose not seem like it is working, and it is when it is trying to find a certain person, it says location unavaiable, and the other person with the other iphone it friend my friend is on in locations service and on the verzion iPhone it is on

    Little hard to understand what you are asking.  Let me guess that this not an Iphone4S issue.  Its a problem with your service provider.  Contact them.

  • HT4428 My 128 Gb iPad cannot do airplay mirroring with Apple TV 3.  It only airplays with screen off (like iPad 1), and it can only do airplay with apps which have the airplay button.  No airplay button when sliding the bottom opened apps to the right.

    My 128 Gb iPad cannot do airplay mirroring with Apple TV 3.  It only airplays with screen off (like iPad 1), and it can only do airplay with apps which have the airplay button.  No airplay button when sliding the bottom opened apps to the right!  Note : This problem persists after HDMI cable has been changed, and Apple TV was reset.  My another iPad 4 64Gb also on the same most updated ISO has no problem.  

    I restarted the iPad, it is okay now!  I think it is because I have been using the smart cover for too long, without shutting down the iPad completely!  It just works fine with the airplay signal appearing again after restarting the iPad.

  • When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

    When I try to save an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

    Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

  • Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • If we bought a mac with OS X 10.6.6 and my sister has a mac with 10.5.8, can we use the install DVD to put snow leopard on hers? Is it legal? Does it erase everything?

    If we bought a mac with OS X 10.6.6 and my sister has a mac with OS X 10.5.8, can we use the install DVD that came with the newer one to put OS X 10.6.6 on hers? Would it work? Does it erase everything? Is that even legal?
    Thank you for any help!

    It won't work.

  • My Epson printer stopped working with Firefox today. It does test pages, will work on Notebook, and will work with IE. Up until today it worked with Firefox. Why can't I print anything from the internet with Firefox?

    Up until today, I did everything with Firefox. Then I was on Paypal and went to print a shipping label and the printer would not work. I went to troubleshoot page and it printed a test page. I uninstalled my printer and then re-installed it. Still would not work from an internet page. I did a system restore. Still didn't work. Called Epson. They say it's a Firefox problem because it works on Notebook and test pages. I installed IE and the printer works. What happened and how can I get it back working with Firefox?

    I have the same problem, I cannot print PayPal shipping label off of Firefox. I did the about.config entry and have seen that the print.print_printer does not exist at all in the list of entries. I use Vista 32. I use an Epson 545 wirelessly.
    Can anyone help?

  • With Firefox 3.16 I could logIn to corporate website - why not with Firefox 5.0?

    I am a Real Estate agent. With the earlier version of Firefox I was using (I think it was 3.16) , I was able to successfully 'log-in' to my company's national web site (http://www.21online.com/public/login ).
    When I upgraded to Firefox 5.0, the web site displays OK, but even though I put in the correct user name and password, the site will not log me in. If I use Internet Explorer, I can log in.

    I have a similar problem with my sites on ff 3.6.9 and win7, however they are fine with ff and xp they are also fine with ie 6, 7 ,8 , opera, safari and chrome in both xp and win7... I am sorry I don't have a solution... in my case I think its something interfering with the way ff in win7 is looking at css and I have tried recoding to no avail... As my sites look fine with all other browsers I'm hoping the bright sparks out their come up with a fix asap

  • I upgraded IClick DVD Copy, but it will not work with Firefox. It has not been upgraded since I have been with firefox. Is there anything I can do?

    I went to use 1 Click DVD Copy and there was an upgrade, so I went to the web site and downloaded the new version. After it was downloaded, I tried to use it; however, the disk to click to copy CD's was distorted and messed up my desktop. I did not have this problem the last time I did this when I was not with Firefox.
    Is there anything I can do? Thank you.

  • When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves but does not open with MS Word - but it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically

    When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves it but does not open with MS Word. But it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically (this is the behavior I would like with .docx docs.) In preferences -- applications - it is just says "content type" is "microsoft word document" but doesn't give a way to choose .docx specifically. Is there another way to do this?

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
    Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
    1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
    2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
    3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
    4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
    5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
    6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,
