  • URL Does Not Work in Firefox, but DOES Work in Other Browsers

    The following URL does NOT work in Firefox. However, it DOES work in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome:

  • Godaddy Email attachments not working with Firefox 10.02. Works with Internet Exporer. What can I do.

    Attachments are not attaching to my emails in my [email protected] godaddy with Firefox the past 2 days. Going to website in Internet Explorer the email attachments work find. What can I do?

    Hello,
    I have very similar problem. Suddenly Firefox stopped work - It was working few days after ver. 4 update. I was looking everywhere for some solution but nothing worked.
    - uninstalled firewall - did not worked
    - added full exception for Firefox into the firewall - did not worked
    - Firefox reinstall - did not worked
    - Firefox complete reinstall (registry included) - did not worked
    - IPv6 diseabling - did not worked
    - diferent proxy options (no proxy, system proxy, autodetect proxy) - did not worked
    - new firefox profile - did not worked
    - complete coockies, history... deleted - did not worked
    - there is only one solution which partly works - I have used public proxy addresses for Firefox but the ping is (750ms), down/up (0.8MB/0.2MB originaly (10MB/2MB) and yes I have tried different proxy server from different countries from my included.
    - IE is working perfectly and without proxy
    - other companies browser - did not worked too
    - only IE is working
    - I have used three different malware, trojans, spyware, anti-virus programs and nothing
    It seems to me as hopeless situation or very clever move from Microsoft, I am forced to use IE - at least this works
    Any ideas, solutions?
    System Windows 7, firewall Comodo Internet security
    Thanks everyone for the help

  • Twitter is not working on firefox browser at all we need help

    twitter is not working on firefox browser at all there is no help i found for this issue anyone find one please tell me
    thanks

    Hello boodymostafa,
    The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
    To Refresh Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
    #Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
    Thank you,
    Curtis

  • Window.event does not working in Firefox 4.0 and also window.event.ctrlKey ?

    hi,
    I'm using Microsoft virtual earth map 6.2 (bing Map) in my application.On map showing number of images.On Each image there is onClick event that select image if user press left mouse button while holding Ctrl key .For this I wrote java-script function where I'm using Window.event.button (To check mouse button) and window.event. ctrlKey(To check control key) But these both are not working in Firefox 4.0 ,the same is working in Firefox 3.6X version perfectly.
    Thanks

    The same problem is in Firefox 5.0 version too

  • Flash drag and drop not working on Firefox for android browser

    Drag and drop functionality is not working using Firefox Browser for Android on tablet. We tested with flash action script 2.0 & 3.0 content, both have same issue. Specs of the tab and OS are as follows.
    Android - Kitkat 4.4.2
    Tab models - Lenovo A7600H and Samsung Tab4 T531
    Please refer to a previous case raised on the same issue here at this link (Case 1029615) - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029615
    Additionally, we observed that the object on which Drag and Drop event was triggered, is moving little bit when we double tap.
    Does Firefox provide any libraries to support Drag and Drop functionality on Flash? We are using Geekoview api to execute flash content in our app. Will the same support be provided in Geekoview as well?
    Are there other folks facing the same issue? Is there a solution or workaround to get this feature running?

    Flash on Android is no longer supported by Adobe. While Firefox does support basic functionality we mainly focus on legacy video applications. You may run into issues with Flash and Geckoview. I doubt we have any resources to support that configuration.

  • Thickbox 3.1 juqery plugin does not working on Firefox 9.0 version

    I have used thickbox 3.1 jquery plugin on my application. I have one issue, my open on new browser window instead on thickbox window. It's working fine with all the browser and with Firefox 3.6.0. But It does not working with firefox higher version like 9.0 and above. I have gone through the various forum to check the solution and being unlucky to found any.
    Can you plese help to identifying the solution for the same.

    Thanks for your quick comeback. What I found is the bug is in my js file which has fire event function to init click MouseEvents (event.initEvent). The event.initEvent has some conflicts with higher version of Firefox 9.0 and above.
    // evObj.initEvent( evt, true, false); if I change parameter to evObj.initEvent( evt, true, true); it works fine. the last parameter.
    //see below my piece of code.
    // Emulate a click on a given link
    function fireEvent(obj,evt) {
    var fireOnThis = obj;
    if( document.createEvent ) {
    var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
    evObj.initEvent( evt, true, true );
    fireOnThis.dispatchEvent(evObj);
    } else if( document.createEventObject ) {
    fireOnThis.fireEvent('on'+evt);
    }

  • RealPlayer download feature not working in Firefox (but works in IE)

    Realplayer download feature (cursor over a youtube video, "download this video" pops up) has recently quit working for me (I've been using it for months). I've searched knowledge bases and forums extensively and tried all the suggestions., such as rolling back from Flash Player 11.5 to 10.3 (no luck), disabling/enabling RealPlayer Download plugin in Firefox (no luck), etc. The one suggestion I'd like to try but can't is going into RealPlayer preferences and enabling/disabling the "Download and Record" function. I can't because all I have in my preferences is "Recording" and the options have nothing to do with downloading. None of the RealNetworks/RealPlayer support sites are helpful at all...
    However, the download feature works just fine in Internet Explorer

    Realplayer download does not work in Firefox. Someone suggested ant.com as an add-on. That works.
    For youtube I use YTD downloader (a youtube product). It is more reliable for youtube videos.

  • ShowHide onclick not working in Firefox nor Safari

    I have a real estate site that's been up for a while.  The floor plans showHide is now not working in Firefox nor Safari (still works in IE).  I would swear that it previously was working (6 months ago?).
    I'm sure I have a coding error someplace -- or have upgrades in the browsers disallowed the showHide script?  I'd rather not have to completely rewrite the page if I don't have to, so a quick fix would be preferable to having to rewrite the entire page.
    The page is a simple 3-layer:  the default visible layer is a plain site plan.  Imagemap showHide on mouseover create a mouse-over effect on each of the units; that mouseover aspect works properly in all browsers (it's showing and hiding any of 4 images depending on where the mouse is on the page).  What is not working is the onClick hot spot on each of the highlight images; the blank a=href"" comes up rather than the onClick... desitination.  Make sense?
    I tried both using the onClick within an <a> tag and on the image iteself (no <a> tag).  Neither works (except, again, in IE).
    I'm still on CS3; perhaps that's the issue?  I've been surfing to see if my script is outdated but unable to find anything useful, so thought I'd try this forum.  In my header, this is the FUNCTION that Dreamweaver put in.  Is v9.0 current?
    function MM_showHideLayers() { //v9.0
      var i,p,v,obj,args=MM_showHideLayers.arguments;
      for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3)
      with (document) if (getElementById && ((obj=getElementById(args[i]))!=null)) { v=args[i+2];
        if (obj.style) { obj=obj.style; v=(v=='show')?'visible':(v=='hide')?'hidden':v; }
        obj.visibility=v; }
    The live page is at http://sweetzerterrace.com/fp/index.html
    CSS page is at http://sweetzerterrace.com/sweetzer.css
    Here is the full body code; I have bolded the relevant sections.  Pretty straightforward stuff, so I'm confused as to why it ceased to work.

  • Flash Player 11.3.300.262 Not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.

    *Flash Player 11.3.300.262 is not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.*
    Millions of people got off work & turned on there computers recently to discover that Firefox is not playing any videos or flash content. Just like me, millions of people are randomly searching the internet in a futile & frustrating attempt at answers. Unfortunately, many of those people will simply stop using firefox & deem it a glitchy, unreliable browser.
    This happened to me a couple days ago. I started up my computer & got a pop-up from Adobe saying that I need to update my flash player to 11.3.300.262. I've always thought of adobe as being a reliable software company, so I clicked on it with confidence that things will be working even smoother. To my horror, I relalized that right after the update, my main browser, firefox was destroyed. Then I went on the frustrating process of uninstalling, re-installing, running virus scan, researching the internet like a lost child. I said to myself, "that's why I hate updating stuff, because updates always seem to change stuff you don't want it to change & there always seems to be a problem with the updates." I usualy update software months after it releases, because microsoft & all the other software companies always seem not to test there stuff properly before releasing them. Then we have to look at a glitchy computer until the next update fixes it. Well, that is my rant. Now let me discuss the problem I found.
    Problem:
    What I did was, go into my firefox extentions menu & I disabled the 11.3.300.262 & I re-enabled the previous flash player. After that, everything worked perfect again. Then a today (a week later), I turned on my computer & my firefox wasn't playing any videos or flash content again. I went into my firefox extenions menu again, & I discovered that my old flash player had been deleted, & this new glitchy 11.3.300.262 had been enabled. Why did adobe feel the need to into my computer & automaticly delete & update my flash player. Now it doesn't work. THIS IS REALY FRUSTRATING!
    The Issue I discovered:
    "RealPlayer" is the most popular video program & it is installed on millions of computers. For some strange reason Firefox does not want its users to use Real Player. Specifically the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2. I also discovered that my Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2 was automatically disabled when the Adobe 11.3.300.262 was automatically updated also.
    - Maybe this could be because of some copyright conspiracy to keep people from downloading videos from the web.
    - Maybe firefox wants people to use there download add-on instead of RealPlayers downloader.
    I don't know what ther reason is. But what I do know is Nobody is going to delete there RealPlayer from there computer just to use FireFox. We can simply use Chrome or Internet explorer. I took the advise from Adobe & disabled the FireFox RealPlayer Extention. I also went into my RealPlayer preferences options, But there was no option to disable download recording from FireFox. BECAUSE I ALREADY DISABLED THE ADD-ON in FireFoxes menu.
    Solution:
    Step 1: Adobe needs to update all the computers with the previous flash player. That way we can choose to enable the previous flash player in our FireFox. or wait until a new update fixes the problem with firefox.
    Step 2: Adobe & FireFox need to get together & go back to the drawing board. They need to create a update that actually works on computers that have Real Player installed on them. I don't care which company does the update. All I care about is if it works. Thank You.
    Oh yea, Im running FireFox 13.0.1, Windows 7, HP computer, Real Player is up to date.

    Hey Chris,
    I was able to duplicate this issue on my Windows 7 laptop as follows:
         1)  Completely uninstall FlashPlayer (using your tool) as well as Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Maintenance Service (used Windows 7 - uninstall from Control Panel).  Please note that I checked the box that said "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" to ensure that Firefox was completely gone from my laptop.
         2)  I then went out to the Firefox website and downloaded the "Firefox Setup 13.0.1.exe" app to my laptop.  I ran this app to install Firefox.
         3)  I then went to the following website http://www.ishmael.org.uk/karaoke02.php as I know that this URL uses Flash Player (obviously you can go to any URL that uses Flash Player - I'm just letting you know which one I used).  I then clicked on the icon on this page to install Flash Player.
    Once the install was completed, the URL stops responding and appears to be locked up (although it will occassionally hiccup and display portions of the page and then lock up again).  You will eventually get a pop-up notice from Firefox that has the header "Warning:  Unresponsive script" and says the following: 
         A script on this page may be busy or it may have stopped responding.  You can stop the script now, or you can continue to to see of the script will complete.  Script:  chrome://browser/content/browser.js:6551 
    Selecting "Stop script" will get Firefox working until you hit another page that uses Flash Player.
    To ensure that the above URL is not the culprit, I used one from your website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html and had the same results.
    Hope this info helps!
    Jeff
    NOTE:  As a reminder, I do not have RealPlayer installed on my laptop (and never have had it installed)
