How do I fix this?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Go to properties first: and set before typing anything in as shown here:

Now what ever you typed should reflect the new Font setting.
we may be as you say. But then again other people act like whats on the other side.
We do our best. And if we fall short, well we gave it our best shot.
Okay. In the interests of being completely clear:
I have already tried this. Several times. This procedure will change the default for any of the fields that I place by hand. It does not change the default for any of the fields placed by the Wizard. I was unable to find a solution to the problem in any of the manuals, books, or on-line forums, which is why I posted here as a last resort. This leads to two conclusions:
A. Your advice is incorrect
B. There is a problem with my installation of Acrobat
I will assume that A is not the correct conclusion. I will therefore try a re-install of my software to see if this clears up the problem. There have been other issues with other Adobe software on my machine that a re-installed has fixed nicely. Luckily, I don't have to do this at all often.

How do I fix a font compatibilty issue from Mac to Windows, using Adobe Flash CS4?

Hi,
I need to edit a Flash movie that somebody else developed in Adobe Flash CS3 on a Mac. I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 on Windows (Vista). However, the font that shows up on my computer is much bigger than on the .SWF that he produced.
He used a custom font, which I had to add to my system Fonts folder. Because Adobe Flash detected the right fonts on my computer, it didn't map them to substitute fonts. I verified that Flash is indeed using the same font files that he used.
I believe the fonts are being rendered differently because I'm using Windows.
How do I fix this?

hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

How do I fix jagged fonts in Preview?

Something happened and now all the pdf-documents I open in Preview have really jagged fonts and terrible quality. I'm using OS X 10.6.8. This might have happened when I last updated the software, but I don't remember exactly. How do I fix this?

Wow, now I feel really stupid. I just found the "Smooth text and line art" and clicked that. Fixed the problem. Amazed.

How do i fix sound font fail for audigy 2

all of the suddon my sound stopped working and my diagnostics say sound font fail. how do i fix this problem?

I had the exact same problem updating the drivers for my Audigy 2 Platinum EX, but I think I managed to solve the problem. This was quite awhile ago, but I think I remember how I got it to work.
First of all, which update did you download? The "Digital Rights Management" driver update was the one giving me that problem, and this was after installing the main drivers and programs from my Audigy 2 CD. But, I think the reason why it gives this message is because you need to install one of the other driver updates first, then install this DRM update. Look under the driver details and it says the following:
"Requirements:
Microsoft? Windows? XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 </LI>
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 or Audigy 2 ZS series internal audio device </LI>
EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Patch Update for Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS (released on 29 March, 2004) installed, or Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS Driver Update (released on 29 July, 2004) installed."</LI>
Strangely enough, it appears this update requires you install an older driver update first (EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe) then afterwards try running the Digital Rights Management update.
I think this is right, but I'm not 00% sure.

How to find fixed width fonts?

Hi! I want to retrieve a list of all available fixed width fonts (e.g. Monospaced) on the user's system.
I tried the GraphicsEnvironment() class and stepped through the result of getAllFonts(). I compared the widths of the chars per font if they differ... No success. Some fonts are filtered but not all.
On windows systems you can get a font metrics info with a type like 'Symbol', 'Fixed', 'Non fixed' etc.
Is there something comparable in Java?
Thanks in advance,
Jan

Here's some code based on jsalonen's suggestion. It prints the font if M and i are the same width.
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 GraphicsEnvironment ge=GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
 Font[] s=ge.getAllFonts();
 Canvas comp=new Canvas();
 for(int i=0;i<s.length;i++) {
 int f1=comp.getFontMetrics(s).charWidth('i');
int f2=comp.getFontMetrics(s[i]).charWidth('M');
if(f1==f2) System.out.println(s[i].getName());

How do I fix redirects when using Firefox 30? Windows 8.1.

I get redirected and/or pop ups while using Firefox 30 with Windows 8.1. It began immediately with the downloading of said Windows 8.1, so I think it came with that download, and although I have run deep scans and even a pre-boot scan with Avast, plus a scan with IObit Anti Malware, I still get redirects and/or pop ups.
It is an intelligent redirect (context sensitive), but tries to get money from you. For example, I had tried to stop the pop ups [redirects, perhaps] with the pop up blocker likely built into Firefox, but Firefox Help led me instead to an 800 # that offered to connect remotely and fix my PC with Certified Techs as you will see in the chat below. It appeared to be a function of Firefox, not a redirect.
Just after the chat with the 800 outfit I opened FireFox and it went to the (default) url: start.mysearchdial.com/ and a string of more hash, which is possibly how the popups get propagated?
I went to mozilla via url and soon got encouraged to download new version, saying current one out of date. But it was going to download from: http://downloadsoftware.pw/download/firefox2/
So it is not only very intelligent, it is also resistant to a lot of software removal tools.
What might you suggest? I have not tried many of those tools yet.

MySearchDial should have an entry in the Windows Control Panel, but possibly also have its hooks into all your browsers.
Checking and cleaning that will take a few steps. I suggest starting here:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Are you able to rid yourself of it?

How can I fix an error where Firefox temporarily opens a blank new window every time I try to post a text reply on any YouTube video?

I'm not sure when it first started occurring, however, I recently noticed that ANY time I have tried lately to post a text reply to ANY video on YouTube, Firefox will open an "about:blank" screen for about 1-2 seconds, and close it. I will not get to make my reply and everything seemingly goes back to normal.
If I open the same video URL in I.E. 11.0, I have no difficulty whatsoever posting text replies to ANY videos, so something is going on with Firefox.
The thought had crossed my mind to uninstall/reinstall Firefox, and I know there's no harm in doing so, but I figured I'd come here first, in case someone who knows Firefox better than I, has an even simpler solution, or in case the uninstall/reinstall idea wouldn't have worked anyway. Please let me know what y'all think about this.

Hello,
Please try using our Reset feature.
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.

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!

How do I set the font in firefox 4.0 using ubuntu?

The zoom feature is OK but I want to permanently set the font size on my firefox pages using the Ubuntu operating system. I don't see anything under Tools and there doesn't seem to be a lot of questions previously asked in the Help area about Firefox in Ubuntu.

It's difficult to set a single font size without wrecking the display of most web sites. One alternative would be to store your preferred zoom level and apply that to all sites. This requires an add-on such as:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6965/ Default FullZoom Level]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]
Does that work for you?

How do I fix incorrect resolution for Firefox user interface on Retina display Mac?

I have a 15" retina display Mac (roughly a year old) running Mountain Lion. A couple weeks ago the user interface in Firefox seems have switched from using the normal zoom level of every other application to the native dpi of the retina display monitor. This means that the UI elements are all extremely tiny, etc. Is there anyway to reset this without simply reinstalling or reseting the rest of my configuration?
Currently running Firefox 27.0.

You can try to modify the gfx.hidpi.enabled pref on the about:config page (<=0: disable; 1:all screens same res; >1:enable always).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the about:config page to 1.0 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
See also:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/forum-response-Zoom-feature-on-Firefox-22
Use an extension to adjust the text size in the user interface and the page zoom in the browser window.
You can look at this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface.
*Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
You can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoScript extension if web pages need to be adjusted after changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx.

Anytime I try using roboform with firefox 10.0 or newer firefox crahses. How do I fix or make sure firefox developers will fix this?

I upgraded my firefox to the 10.0, since then whenever I try to use roboform it will automatically crash and close. I am using 9.0 now since it is the lastest version that will not crash when using roboform. Firefox needs to fix this issue if I am to continue using it. I have always loved firefox but this roboform issue sucks a big one.

Here is the fix from roboform.

Thank you for your message.
Due to a number of reasons your browser profile may become damaged and corrupted.
The only way to fix a problem is to do a complete reinstall of Firefox and Mozilla:
* Do a backup of your Firefox Bookmarks and other personal data (Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks -> Import and Backup).
* Close all Firefox and Mozilla windows and its taskbar icon.
* Uninstall Firefox from "Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs".
* Uninstall Mozilla from "Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs".
* Delete folder C:\Documents and Settings\<Your User Name>\Application Data\Mozilla.
* Delete folder C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.
* Delete folder C:\Program Files\mozilla.org.
* Delete folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\mozilla.org.
* Search for all folders that contain "Firefox" or "Mozilla" in their name and delete them.
* Install Firefox (or Mozilla) again.
* Install RoboForm Adapter/Extension as described above.

How do I fix a very slow Firefox browser often resulting in "Server Not Found"?

The browser is super slow, saying 'problem loading page' and ends up showing the 'Server not found' message. Eventually I'm able to access a website after highlighting the website address and hitting enter, maybe several times. My computer is new and have made minimal changes until this problem is resolved. Problem affects e-mail, too.

I think this is not a Firefox's bug/error.
This is I think generated from the back-end SQL syntax of the site, which means the site created this error message, not Firefox.
You may contact the site-owner and tell them about this error message, so they may know & fix this error.
