Help trouble-shooting firefox https/http/something issues

I just wrote a very long post only to be told on trying to submit it that I did not have permission to access the page.
I am having various extremely frustrating issues in firefox.
Some of these seem to be profile or addon related but I cannot quite pin anything down.
With my default config:
1. I cannot post in any thread in the forums.
2. On tex.stackexchange.com, I cannot view many pictures in situ although I can view them in a new tab. These all seem to be hosted on http://i.stack.imgur.com.
3. If I login to the meta site for tex.stackexchange.com, I end up on the regular site for tex.stackexchange.com. Although I appear to be me when I go there, I cannot post or vote or anything. If I try to navigate to meta from the top bar menu, I get a warning from firefox that I can't trust the connection because the certificate is not valid for the domain with the "get me out of here!" button.
4. On SE's diagnostic site, https://meta.stackoverflow.com/network-login-help?, I get failures for both Messaging and Storage.
5. Disabling rules for sites in https everywhere doesn't help. Nor does disabling it completely and disabling the ssl observatory. When I do that, I still seem to get errors in ~/.xsession-errors:
SSL Observatory: Cert submission failure 0:
With a clean profile in safe-mode:
1. I just lost a post when I tried to submit saying I had no permission to access the page.
2. If I try to navigate to meta from the top bar menu on tex.stackexchange.com, I get a warning from firefox that I can't trust the connection because the certificate is not valid for the domain with the "get me out of here!" button.
3. On SE's diagnostic site, https://meta.stackoverflow.com/network-login-help?, I get a failure for just Messaging.
One of the problems is that what works one moment seems to fail the next and I can't get any robust work around which survives, say, a restart of the browser even using a clean profile. It is driving me nuts. Some of this is documented in this thread. (I always find firefox issues confusing.)
I first had problems at the same time as being bitten by a https everywhere bug which prevented login on SE sites. However, although that seems to have been resolved, the issues aside from that persist for me.
I am not using Arch's build but the 64bit from Mozilla. However, this version (26) worked for some time before I started seeing issues so I doubt it is a firefox update issue per se.
Does anybody have any thoughts about whether I am seeing one or several issues? how best to individuate them? and how best to diagnose them?
In the past, firefox issues have generally been entirely addon related and it has just been a question of being systematic but while some of this might be addon related, there seems to be a basic issue independent of my profile and addons. At least, so it seems given the failures in safe-mode with a clean profile. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me not-so-slowly mad.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen any posts from you for a while!
I had an issue just the other day that sounds kind of like this.  I couldn't post things on the forums, I couldn't log into a number of internet services, and things were just all around failing.  It took me a while of trying to debug my own local network to finally realize that it wasn't actually my problem.  In an effort to just see if things were getting through, I tried a speed test site.  The ping time and download speeds were normal, but my upload was working hardly if at all.
So I called comcast and was told to stop by the comcast store to trade in for a new cable modem.  I got home and it magically worked great.  In fact, there were several small issues I had with the last cable modem that were suddenly gone.
A grrr about the situation.  I had to go pick up the cable modem because they told me it would be $15 to ship the new modem out to me, and I would also have to pay for a service appointment.  The lady on the phone told me that comcast had recently made it so that they could not wave the fee for such things, despite the fact that it was their won hardware that was causing the problems.  Then of course when I went to the comcast place I took a number and waited a good two hours for a two minute cable box trade.  Thanks comcast, your customer service sucks.

  • Need help trouble shooting mail issue

    Mail issue started when the compter (imac intel, g4, os 10.6.8) said it needed to restart during a mail download. I restarted, then the mail program would not stop downloading older messages. I went online and followed a whole bunch of suggestions, which only made matters worse (preferences... drag com.mail.plist to desktop, add it back, rebuild mail) nothing worked. I then trashed the mail program, and trashed some of the mail cache (not wanting to lose preferences, I lett this cache). Then mail I could not access mail without the set-up assistant showing on screen. So... (digging a deeper and deeper hole!) I tried to restore mail from my time machine back-up (severl days prior to issue) and it did not help. I then reinstalled applications from snow leopard... not helpful. I then figured I could use migration assistant to copy my working mail program from my mac pro and this did not solve the issues. Of course all of this taking me away from my Christmas shopping:-)
    So, I tried to set it up manually, but the program will not save the password and it keeps asking for the password but rejecting it each time.
    Any ideas??

    Thanks for your suggestion regarding contacting Apple. I called the Express service and talked for a couple of hours trying to resolve the issues.
    One, to deal with the password issue, Keychain Access > Preferences > click on Reset My Default Keychain, close.
    For the original issue of mail downloading messesges from my server every time I checked mail,
    Library > Mail folder > messagealreadydownloaded3 > drag to trash. Issues resolved!!!
    As for creating a pretty good mess... well all I can say is that I was following suggestions from other users that have posted online with similar issue. Lesson learned??? Not sure if there was one:-)

  • Need help trouble shooting on how to fix my MacBook Pro so it will start

    Ok, this is going to be a bit of a long one, cuz there are a good amount of details that go into the problem and how I have tried to fix it.
    To start, late last summer I got my Macbook Pro 15" with high resolution anti-glare, 500 GB X 7200 RPM hard drive, and everythin else standard.
    Next part of the story is that i decided to upgrade from my 3-year-old iPhone 3GS. So I preordered an iPhone 5 (never doing that again), and finally received it 10/05/12.
    Wanting to synch my new iPhone 5 ASAP so I could fully play with it, I finally synched my old iPhone 3GS with my MacBook Pro for the first time. I had not previously synched it with my MacBook Pro, because all of the songs and stuff that were on it were from being synched with my family's desktop (from maybe a year or so ago; I don't synch my phones often.). I also had been lazy this whole time in not transferring the songs and stuff from the desktop to my MacBook Pro, so thats why I didn't synch my 3GS, because I didn't want to lose that stuff on my phone until I had made time to transfer the data. Because of this, I didn't use iTunes that much and I updated it only 2 or 3 times over the year that I had if before I got my iPhone 5.
    After synching my old phone, I then tried synching the i5, but an iTunes pop up said that I needed to update to iTunes 7.0 in order to synch the new phone.
    So I canceled the pop-up, and checked the updates in iTunes, and selected update (I can't remember what it said I was updating to, but I don't think it was 7.0).
    After it started updating, it asked if I wanted to update something something else (I think it was an iOS update or something thing like that.).
    I select update, because it looks legit, and why not update the whole computer when I'm taking the time to update iTunes? So the 15-20 minute installation estimation time turns into 2 hours (I think that it said that there was 2GB of update, but not sure.).
    At that time, I think of how I don't remember if the update was 7.0 or not (maybe 6.9 or something like that was my thought.). So I tried to re-synched my i5 to make the pop up for iTunes 7.0 to come up. It came up, and I clicked the link to take me to Apple's site. I clicked the update to iTunes 7.0, and it started downloading from the internet, and it gave some download estimation time. Remember that the other iTunes and iOS thing was still updating while iTunes 7.0 was downloading. The problem was that I had to go to work a few minutes before the download of the iTunes 7.0 from Apple's site would complete and 1.5 hours before the other updates would finish. So I just left my MacBook Pro open, running, and updating/downloading.
    After work, I checked my laptop, and it said something about finalizing the installation. So I hit that button to finalize or whatever it said, and it starts finalizing.
    After waiting 10 or so minutes I check my MacBook Pro again, and it says that it needs to restart to complete the process. So I hit the restart button on the pop up.
    It restarted, and against a blue screen there was a grey pop up that said that there was some error or something like that in the installation and that I needed to restart the computer again. There was only one button on the pop up, and it was the "Restart" button. So I pressed it, and it restarted again.
    However, it didn't fully boot up (and to this day still doesn't) and get past the grey screen with the apple and the spinning gear thingy underneath it.
    After like 20 minutes, I did a forced shut off, and rebooted while holding the option button to see if I could start my Windows side, since I have my computer bootcamped, though I haven't used Windows on it yet. The three options appeared: Windows something, Macintosh something, and Recovery HD. I clicked the Windows button, and after loading and stuff, Windows was running and working. So I'm pretty sure that my problem isn't a hardware problem, but a software problem.
    So I asked a friend who is studying to be some kind of computer guy, and he suggested that I put in the Mac iOS X disk that I got with my MacBook Pro when I start up and try to get to Disk Utility. I did that, and was able to get to Disk Utility. And as he instructed, I (on the First Aid tab, I think) pressed "Verify Disk". He said that it started to look for problems and stuff. Then when it was done, I pressed the "Repair Disk", and he said it started fixing those problems. After it was done, I performed another forced shut off. I then turned my MacBook Pro on with crossed fingers, but it was still stuck on the gray screen with the apple and the gear.
    He then suggested that we try to start it in Safe Mode, so we researched how to do it on my family's desktop. I tried holding Shift after the turn on tone and releasing it when the spinning gear appeared, but that didn't work. I'm still not sure if that's the right way to start in safe mode.
    So right now I don't have any other ideas, besides spending money to get it fixed, which I don't want to do, cuz I'm not rich and I work hard for all these fancy toys.
    It ***** to have the joy of getting the newest iPhone overshadowed by my MacBook Pro not working.
    Someone, please help!!!

    First off your older OS X boot disks are no good as you upgraded OS X to a later version.
    When you held the option key down at boot, this entered Startup Manager and by what your describing you have Recovery HD, Macintosh HD (your OS X boot partition), and Windows BootCamp partition.
    To repair the drive, you enter Recovery HD and use Disk Utiltiy there to repair the Macintish HD partition.
    You also use Recovery HD to reinstall OS X 10.7 or 10.8 from Apple's servers, this should fix your problems without deleting your programs or files. (some third party with at boot kernel extension ones will have to be reinstalled)

    please help it would be much appreciated

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

  • Need help trouble shooting Database Gateway for MS SQL Server setup, getting ORA-28546 error

    Dear All,
    I am trying to setup Oracle Database Gateway for MS SQL Server(I don't have admin access to the MS SQL Server).  When I try to test the dblink connection, I get the following error.
    I issued select * from dual@xyz;

    Obviously, I would like to get this setup to work, but I also have couple other questions regarding this setup.
    1. When installing the gateway, it asks to run the root.sh script.  the root.sh script as for the following.
    Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:
    The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin.  Overwrite it? (y/n)
    [n]: n
    The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin.  Overwrite it? (y/n)
    [n]: n
    The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin.  Overwrite it? (y/n)
    [n]: n
    is the above answer correct?
    Thanks for reading.

    My monitor was going reddish/flickering and the backlight was going out so i can i could only barely see what's on the screen. The screen would also just blackout if it was on the brightest setting before. 
    A couple of days ago i replaced the CCFL backlight. No problems lights up nicely when the screen is not attached.  When i try to attach the screen to the hinges it will short out the lamp.  So basically, if the lcd frame (metal portion) touches the left or right hand sided "hinges or metal" that it screws into it will short hte lamp out.  I just have to put it back into sleep mode and then restart it w/o the lcd touching hte metal.  I've replaced the inverter, that did not help. 
    I am replacing the LCD cable when the part comes in.  The whole laptop is taken apart. I can not find any exposed wires.  Does anybody have anymore suggestions. I am out of ideas.
    T60, model 2007-64U, 14.1 screen.  HELP

    I give up!!!
    All parts don't fix the problem... I tried insulating the metal pseudo works... now the screen shuts off when its touched or moved. Different problems now....
    I have decided after a week and half of fixing and spending $50 in replacing CCFL, inverter, and LCD cable I am junking the T60 and leaving IBM/Lenovo.
    Going to go get a Mac Book Pro.  
    Cheers to everyone here... see ya.

  • Help trouble shooting PRINTER PROBLEM within Numbers using Leopard

    Help!! On both my spreadsheet created and other templates I've attempted printing, the print preview looks perfect (with the spreadsheet centered on the page)... but when they print, instead of printing centered like the preview, the print runs off the top and starts printing with no top margin and partially through my spreadsheet.
    I reinstalled my HP Photosmart C4280 printer, and downloaded the updated beta driver found on HP's website. This did solve the problem. Is anyone else having printing problems? What else could I try?!
    Thanks!

    I called Apple tech support and got an answer! In Numbers, we must use the Document Inspector to "format for" the printer we're using. I have 2 printers installed, and it was defaulting to my label printer. When I switched to my HP printer, I had to make some small tweaks to my page format, and then it printed perfect.
    Hope this can help someone else!

  • I need help trouble shooting my 2 apple TV set up in home.

    I have 2 Apple TVs in my home.  One Gen1 and 1 Gen2.  The gen1 is working fine with home sharing and finding the movies, etc.  But the gen 2 is not showing up in iTunes under devices and I can't get it to pull down the content (movies, songs, etc).  What should I do?

    ATV1 doesn't use Home Sharing but ATV2 does.
    ATV1 was set up using an onscreen code you entered in iTunes for that device.
    On ATV2 as you set up Home Sharing credentials on the unit it then finds Home Shared itunes libraries without the numeric code step.  Consequently ATV2's never show in Devices (unless restoring them over USB).
    ATV1 had a hard drive to store contemt. ATV2 has solid state memory and only a small amount so cannot store any content permanently like ATV1. ATV2 only streams.  Do you see the iTunes library under the Computers column?

  • Trouble Shooting an Exchange Server Connection Issue

    I recently encountered a problem when if my phone couldn't connect to the exchange server (MSFT Exchange 2003) it would clear out all of the previously synced mail on the phone. Once it is able to reconnect it will re-download everything, however if this is a normal behavior, and can't I prevent it from resetting all of my mail whenever the phone can't connect for whatever reason the phone becomes a real deal-breaker for me for business applications.
    I called AT&T and was told that it was a security feature and there was no way around it. Does anyone know if this is a normal behavior or have any ideas on a way to stop this from occurring? Or should I try calling Apple Care to get someone with a little more knowledge of the way the phone works?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas!
    Will

    You will not lose mail, contacts and calendar if the iPhone cannot connect to the Exchange server. However, you WILL lose data on the phone if the iPhone connects, but the Exchange server is not running. Normally this won't happen if your IT department has even a basic level of competence, and disables incoming requests during Exchange server maintenance. This is a characteristic of ActiveSync, and has nothing to do directly with the iPhone.

  • Trouble shooting problem/ via tech. issue

    on grow computer triied to install flash for video watch.not connecting to computer. read instructions of installation. not responsing to host. customer tech. can reboot from station, quick installation return to auto play. email if can help trouble  shooting issue. [email protected]

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating   system  
    Browser  
    Flash   Player version
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows  
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5   video  
    Non-HTML5 video
