How do I get firefox to recognize Japanese characters?

I would like my web browser (Firefox) to print out Japanese and Chinese characters instead of printing out these mish-mashes of numbers. Is there some software somewhere I can download?

Make sure that you have installed East Asian language support:

  • How can I get Firefox to recognize ODM file extensions? Help! bmathias@usf.edu

    Windows7, Firefox version? (not sure what version! it doesn't come up under Properties!) but my computer was just upgraded to Windows7 last week & Firefox reinstalled, so probably the latest version. OverDrive (ODM file extensions) is a DRM software system used by public libraries to limit checkout/access of streamed audio & e-books. But the audiobooks won't download. The troubleshooting directions say that I shoule be able to find the ODM file extension under Tools -- Options -- Applications in Firefox. But it isn't listing. Perhaps this is why the download doesn't work? How do I get Firefox to work with ODM file extension?

    Check the URL that doesn't work.
    ''If it is an http:// URL:''
    When a web server sends Firefox a file, it includes a content-type header. This is what Firefox uses to determine how to handle the file, not the file extension. The server might be sending a generic download type such as "application/octet-stream" which you cannot assign to any one application. That's just a guess because I don't use that software.

  • I have RPMs installed for flash on my Fedora Linux server. How do I get firefox to recognize it?

    The flash library is there:
    [root@cbar-linux] /root/.history # find / -name libflashplayer.so -print
    /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libflashplayer.so
    /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
    /etc/abrt/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    The RPM is installed:
    [root@cbar-linux] /root/.history # rpm --query --all | grep -i flash
    flash-plugin-10.1.102.65-release.i386
    I have run the config both as root and as myself.
    mozilla-plugin-config -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    I have stopped and r.estarted my firefox browser many times. It does not think flash is installed. How do I convince firefox (3.5.15) that flash is installed?

    If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

  • How can I get Firefox to recognize my Google settings when I try to disable Google's homepage Instant Search?

    After saving my Google settings which includes turning off Google's new Instant Search, Firefox doesn't save these setttings the next time I access Google. IE Explorer recognizes my disabling of Instant Search but Firefox doesn't. I am using Firefox 3.6.

    Hey, no problemo! I bestow upon you my personal white-can award for the additional info. Meanwhile, the main problem was in how my defaults were set in the Firefox area you pointed me to. Once I got there, I was able to change the defaults so Google's radio button would work. The problem was that each time I saved the Google setting, a message box would pop up that my screenreader announcing that the settings were saved. But when I reloaded Firefox, they were not saved. I don;t know if the popup message was generated by the webpage or Firefox. I think some sort of interupt message should popup from Firefox if one's settings for cookies will prevent the settings from being saved due to cookies being unsaved. Anyway, you were a big help as I am new to Windows 7 and have just switched to Firefox as it handles and solves those nasty screen "captchas" really nicely with the Webvism captcha add-on. Best regards, Grandpa Dave in CA.

  • How do I get Firefox to recognize my new default printer as the old default printer is no longer connected?

    I have installed a new default printer in my computer which is running Windows XP Pro. When I try to print from the browser it keeps showing the old printer which is no longer connected to the computer. Every other program has recognized the new default printer. The Control Panel indicates that the new printer is the default.

    You can force Firefox into forgetting the old printer.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''print.print_printer''', right-click on it and choose '''Reset'''
    # Restart Firefox

    If the purchases are all from the same account then you can share the content by authorizing each device.
    If you have separate accounts then you have to be authorized to use the content purchased from another account.

  • I've down loaded adobe flash player but when I try to veiw video on firefox I'm still told that I need adobe flash player. How do I get firefox to see the flash player download?

    I was trying to view a video I uploaded to facebook using firefox. The system told me to down load adobe flash player. I did but still get the message that I need to down load flash player. How do I get firefox to see the down loaded adobe flash player?

    by installing from within Firefox, Internet Explorer has its own version (Active-X).
    Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash
    * http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want
    * http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    After the download,
    #bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
    #close Firefox with '''File > Exit''' or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close.
    #If install does not proceed, '''terminate "firefox.exe"''' and '''"plugin-container.exe"''' from the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
    #* Windows 7 shortcut to the WTM is "Ctrl+Shift+Esc"
    #* or on any Windows system from "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then choose Windows Task Manager.
    #*Make sure that "firefox.exe" is no longer running -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu, and do the same for "plugin-container.exe" if it is found there.
    #proceed with the install.
    '''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
    Find updates for your installed plugins at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck
    -- best to use Adobe's site to really see if their plug-ins are up to date.
    Please fix your caps lock or read what you type, do you think anybody could read my answer if I typed in all caps.
    If the above fails to correct the problem, I would try uninstalling Adobe Flash from your system entirely first, from the control panel then "Programs and Features".

  • When a tab is close, firefox next shows the tab to the right. How do I get firefox to show the tab to the LEFT of the closed tab?

    I have 3 tabs open named 1, 2 and 3. If I close tab 2, Firefox will automatically show tab 3. How do I get Firefox to show tab 1 instead of tab 3? Basically, move to the left instead of the right?
    I searched about:config using words like: tab, open, close, next, left and right and compared the results on
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries to get a good idea of what each entry did. Learned a lot and reconfigured other aspects of Firefox in the process! But, I would really like to alter the way Firefox processes tab closures.
    Thank you.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old info

    How do I get iTunes to recognize a new device if I accidentally did not hit new device when I first hooked it up? I hit the button that said I wanted to back it up from my old phone. The new phone is my husbands and I don't want to back up my phone info on it. I re connected it hoping it would prompt me with the option again and it doesn't , it just shows up as a back up to my phone. How can I get it to give me that option in the beginning again

    First of all, I think the first time you sync an iPod that's formatted for Windows on a Mac, the sync process reformats it for Mac. You can check what it is now by looking for the iPod with Disk Utility. If it's Mac OS Extended, it's formatted for Mac already.
    Also, there is no current iPod updater app these days. iTunes handles it through the Restore button. If you are not able to use the latest iTunes because of your Mac, I can understand. The latest version of iTunes should run with 10.3.9 or later, if the hardware can handle it.
    You said the battery was low so let it recharge for a while.
    You should also reset the iPod. It's part of the 5Rs, which you should go through as the starting point for iPod trouble-shooting.

  • When I open InDesign files from our design team, the fonts don't show up even though I have them installed on my computer. How do I get it to recognize fonts I have installed?

    I use my Adobe programs from the Creative Cloud. When our design agency sends me files, I open them and fonts I have on my computer aren't showing up when I open the file. Everywhere online it says I need to add the fonts to InDesign's font file, but since I'm working out of the Creative Cloud, I don't have that option. How do I get InDesign to recognize these fonts when I'm opening files from our agency?

    ID sees fonts installed on your computer and contained in a Document Fonts folder in the same folder as the document, if one exists.
    I don't really understand what you are saying about fonts you have installed not showing up. And cloud makes no difference -- all the applications and support files are installed on your hard drive.

  • How do I get Firefox to remember two usernames and passwords for att.yahoo?

    Firefox remembers one username and password, does not auto-fill-in the information (which is good), but will not ask to remember the second username and password. How do I get Firefox to remember the second username and password?
    I have two e-mail accounts which use the same login page, one account is sbcglobal and the other is yahoo. I would like Firefox to remember both sets of information so I don't have to type all the username and password information for one account.

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed

  • How can I get firefox to show everything from left to right, without a curser that I have to move, in win-xp?

    It used to be ok. I had a firexox teeshirt from way far back, firefox 1.0. Then i had a hemorrhagic stroke, about 3 years ago. Now i'm back, in a new place, for two months now.
    (I use my left hand now...) and once again, i have a desktop, with win-xp (and five internal harddrives, and a 600w ps.) Anyway, for the first time with my new desktop, there is a cursor in the bottom of firefox, and it doesn't show everything, left to right unless i move it.
    I've been out of commission, with only a laptop, with win-7-64bit edition, that i got just 7 months before my stroke. My sister threw away all of my desktops...many of which i built. The doctor said i may die...so my sister didn't even wait, but threw away my CLOTHES AND BOOKS AND COMPUTERS (except for the laptop), but she saved most of my harddrives...i guess i taught her how to save harddrives.
    Anyway, it's been three years, since i've had no 32bit computer with win-xp, and i can't figure out how to make things go back to the way i'm used to. HELP! I was in your forums, when my e-mail was [email protected], which it will be again , soon. But for how, how do i get firefox to show all, left to right, without a bottom cursor? i know it's possible. (And while i'm asking questions, how can i, tony mendola, get another firefox 1.0 tee shirt? i would even pay for it, even though i'm on social security-disability, with only one hand working..and no work. I used to wear it, proudly when fixing computers for others.)

    Hi manni394, what version of Firefox are you running now?
    Firefox 22 has a new way of setting the default zoom level: it is based on your Windows font size setting. So, if you set Windows fonts to 125% (enlarged 25%), your Firefox pages also will be enlarged 25%. On pages that do not adjust their layout, you may get a horizontal scroll bar.
    To reduce the zoom on a page, hold Ctrl and tap the - key (the one on the numeric keypad or the one on the number row of the keyboard). The zoom should be reduced for each tap.
    If you want to globally adjust your zoom level to be lower, you can use either of these add-ons:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint]
    If you already have one of those add-ons, check the default/global zoom level in case it needs to be adjusted.
