How can I get the readability bookmarklet to work

Firefox 3.6.8 in Windows XP Home on a Toshiba netbook. How can I get the "readability" bookmarklet to work? It works just fine in Camino on an Apple mini desktop computer running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger.) Readability uses javascript, which I do have turned on. The problem (of it not working) doesn't seem to have anything to do with the NoScript add-on either, as I tried allowing everything on the page and it still didn't work. Any ideas of what to try next?

Hi there.
By chance, I too have the readability bookmarklet installed (but I don't use it that much, to be honest), and it works ok for me. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

    For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
    For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).

    How can I get the reset button to work?: Answer
    Thanks to everyone who helped on this. You are awesome. Especially Ned!!  Posted here because I was unable to add more to the existing post.
    Here is the question:
    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
    ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
        at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/removeChild()
        at AddATree2/onReset()
    When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
      Here is the answer:
    //when you click the reset button everything is removed from the stage
        //except the star, baclground, and reset button (trees and greeting REMOVED)
        public function onClear(Event:MouseEvent):void
                if (tree3) removeChild(tree3);
                if (tree2) removeChild(tree2);
                if (webText) removeChild(webText);
                if (tree) removeChild(tree);
                clickCount = 0;

    This is the answer to what to put in the onclear function.

  • How can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in internet explorer

    how can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in interne

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • How can I get the contact book to work?

    I cannot get the contact book to save any contacts.  I have to enter each one each time.
      Which given that I have to enter it in the contact book and cannot enter just the e-mail address, is really really irritating.  The next time I open the contact book after sending the e-mail, there are no contacts.

  • Itunes asked me to do an update- I did- it will no longer load. How can I get the itunes program to work?

    Please see the bold.  If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
    If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

  • In the latest version of Firefox, I can't get the "Readability" website to work

    This website is handy, because it converts online text into a format that is much more readable. To get it to work, you are to drag the "Readability" icon to the web browser's toolbar. This worked in the prior versions of Firefox, but not in the current one. This website works fine, for example, with Chrome.

    You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
    If you do not see that button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the position at the left of the location bar if you want that button in its old position.

  • How can I get the App store to work?

    I cannot get my App store to work on OS 10.7.4  I don't know how I am going to upgrade with the new system.  I thought the new up grade would help fix the problem, but now I don't know who to get the upgrade because my app store won't load.  I am getting the screen that says
    One Moment Please.
    Connenction to the iTunes Store.
                    Loading...
    If I tunes doesn't open, click the iTunew application icon in you Dock or Windows Task Bar. To download iTunes, Please click here.
    I have tried sign off and back on.  My iTunes works just fine. Only the App store doesn't work.  I have tried the terminal message thing.  I have tried to find my file.  I bought Lion from the app store.  PLEASE help I am so frustrated.  I want to cry.  When I as for help they send me to the boards to the support thing, but nothing on those pages have helped me.  I know there are other post, but  I don't know how to just dump eveything reload and then back up from my time capsule.  How do I do that?  I will that we could just reboot the App store. 
    Thanks

    Incase one is wondering... I found the answers in this entry
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18810192#18810192
    I tired the
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/*
    at first because the person was working out of lion but it kept saying not found, but I did everything else here next.  I added the debug thing and didn't work but I didn't.  Then I deauthorized my computer iTunes and reauthorized then signed in and out. Did not work. I then ran the permission  part of Utilities and then ran the repair.  after this I copied all three lines together pasted them into Terminal.  After that it worked.    I am so happy right now.  I think I had to repair the disc to get it right.  I wrote everything I did incase it was a combination of every thing. 
    This is how to enable the debug menu that is part of the thread. 
    Quit the Mac App Store
    Launch the Terminal (located at /Applications/Utilities/)
    Type the following command into the Terminal and then hit return:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    Relaunch the Mac App Store, the Debug menu is next to “Help” in the menubar
    So now to the interesting part: what me helped was to select "clear cookies" in the debug menu first, and second to select "reset Application"
    This was all found in that thread, but it is 11 pages.... this might be more helpful.  There are other suggestions in the tread if this doesn't work for you.

    Hello:
    Thank you for responding so quickly.
    I have added child and it has removed the error. However, the button icon has disappeared as you can see when you play the .swf and the reset button doesn't clear the stage of everything but the star and the back ground.

  • How can I get the dictionary feature to work with firefox?

    I haven't been able to get the dictionary to pop up using the three-finger double-tap in Firefox. Is there is a fix for this?

    Download and install magicPrefs (for free) and do this:
    My guess is that there are problems with gestures yet to be worked out. One problem I see is that users don't wait long enough, or try hard enough (ha!) when using them. My guess is that when the machine is busy (indexing, rendering, etc.) that the gestures get hosed, but I am not a developer...so just a guess
