Huge problems with Amazon and Firefox 5 (& IE, Chrome, Opera)

I have Firefox 5 and Windows 7 Home. I have been having increasing problems with amazon pages hanging- not just with Firefox but with IE, Opera & Chrome. Sometimes everything is fine but increasingly amazon is becoming unusable. It has got worse since updating to Firefox 5 from 4. Can anyone help ( in non-technical language!)

Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
or
Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie if above does not do it.

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
and
defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
but that did not help,
Nanne

I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
It may work when re-enabled

I've had this happen now and again. You can rebind the lease yourself with:
$ dhcpcd --rebind
You could also try increasing the timeout by adding
TimeoutDHCP=
to your netctl profile/s - see netctl.profile(5) as WonderWoofy suggests. Although I haven't tried the latter.

When I use Firefox and Hotmail at startup, Firefox freezes for about 1 minute, and then I can continue. First I though it was my computer but 2 other girls in my class have the same problem with Hotmail and Firefox. What can I do to change this?

When I start Firefox, about 15 seconds after I start it, my Firefox freezes for about 1 minute. I found out that it is my Hotmail that makes Firefox freeze.
First I thought it was my computer, but I have 2 other girls in my class that use Hotmail and Firefox and their computer also freezes for 1 full minute.
This is very annoying, what can I do to change this?

p.s. I am from the Netherlands, maybe that has something to do with it?

Try deleting cookies and cache:
1. Tools| Clear recent history
2. Time range to clear: Everything
3. If it isn't already selected, select '''Cookies''' and '''Cache'''
4. '''Clear now'''
'''Check cookie exceptions'''
1. Tools | Options | Privacy Panel
2. Set '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history.''' '''Insure Accept cookies for sites and accept third-party cookies''' is selected
3. Click '''Exceptions'''. If the misbehaving site is in that list, select it and click '''Remove site'''
'''Safe Mode'''
Add-ons can cause problems with not being able to log into certain websites. To see if this is the case with your issue, run [[Safe mode]]. When you get to the safe mode window, select Continue in Safe Mode. If this resolves your problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Problem with CS2 and firefox 3.6x

i have a strange problem arising from a combination of photoshop cs2 and firefox 3.6x browser in XP sp3
when photoshop is minimised to the taskbar and then firefox is minimised, the focus of firefox seems to be passed to photoshop unexpectedly, turning its button dark blue and making it very difficult to maximise photoshop (repeated clicking and swapping of apps sometimes frees it)
has anyone else every experienced anything like this with 3.6?
i have installed 3.5.10 atm which works with no problem at all and holds its own focus when minimised.
Steve

None of those ideas worked. I used the Disk Utility and it indicated that all permissions were OK. I cleared the caches and cookies on Safari and FireFox, and even re-installed FireFox and deleted all of the old files associated with it. Both browsers brought up the Apple support website using the IP address, but neither browser would allow me to log into Apple support to follow this thread. I turned off the Firewall thinking it was the problem. I am running the PC and iMac through a router, then a dsl modem. Could any of those items be the problem?

Problem with ORARRP and Firefox

We installed ORARRP utility on a pc. If we create an .rrpt file and double click it the orarrp
utility captures the request and pops up a dialogue box. So the orarrp utility
is successfully installed in the system.
If we use Internet Explorer to run an .rrpt report (through an oracle forms application) the orarrp utility captures
the request. So with IE is working fine.
If we use firefox to run an .rrpt report (through an oracle forms application) the orarrp utility is not called
and firefox just presents the .rrpt file on the screen.
This issue is met in all platforms, all oracle versions, all firefox versions.
It is very important to make it run with firefox since due to another issue some of our clients are
forced to use firefox instead of IE.

My solution is patching iWeb to ignore shadows with Firefox 5.0 (without warranties - you should test it )
a) locate iWebImage.js in iWeb (usally in /Applications/iWeb.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/Site) - with finder you must use "show package content"
b) open this file and locate funtion "applyToElement: function(shadowed)
c) skip shadowing with userAgent Firefox/5.0 (see if-Statement)
d) republish the website
    applyToElement: function(shadowed)
        var framePos = new IWPoint(shadowed.offsetLeft, shadowed.offsetTop);
        var frameSize = new IWSize(shadowed.offsetWidth, shadowed.offsetHeight);
        var opacity = 1.0;
        if((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox/5.0") <= -1) && (shadowed != null))
            shadowed = $(shadowed);
            opacity = shadowed.getStyle('opacity');
            if(windowsInternetExplorer)
                // To make an object with shadow from a given object (shadowed) we go through the following

Problem with Safari and Firefox opening some websites

In Firefox I have recently been getting:
THE CONNECTION IS RESET
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web
Also a message in Safari:
"Safari can’t open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
It is only occurring with a few sites, but occurs on the same websites in both browsers.
I'm using an iMac, running OSX 10.4.11 and using Airport to connect to a Netgear wireless router.
I've emptied cashes, cleaned cookies, reset browsers etc, I've run MacScan, but the problem persists.
Having already done some on-line searches I have seen people talk about proxies, DNS and possible malware (though usually referring solutions to PC's.
Any one know of a fix for this?

Hi,
Make sure your are running the latest version of Safari. From the Safari Menu Bar click: About Safari
The version number will be displayed there. You need to be using 4.0.4 If Safari needs updating go to your Apple Menu then click Software Updates.
Safari 4.0.4 requires the 2009-001 Security Update. Open System Preferences/Software Updates - Installed Updates. If that update is not listed go here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_001__Tiger_PPC
Also, open System Preferences/Network. Select the tab. Make sure none of the boxes are
checked under: Select a proxy server to configure
Try disconnecting the router from it's power source for 5 minutes, reconnect the router and
restart your Mac.

Huge problems with 9360 - and NO help

I am attempting to make contact with someone who can assist me with a
problem I have been having with a handset (9360) that I got in December
2011 (on contract).
I have had to return the phone 3 times and now it is claimed that the phone
is beyond repair, while I still have to pay the contract - no replacement.
I have had almost NO use of this phone.
I will NEVER recommend this handset, and where before I had only good
things to say about Blackberry; I will NOT go through this THEFT again. I'd
rather use SAMSUNG or some other stupid phone. I am disgusted. Moreover
about the fact that I am unable to establish contact with someone that can
take responsibility for this horrible product. I tried phoning and texting
the rep from RIM, but he totally ignores me (I have his name and number
should someone wish to fire him)
But then maybe RIM knew their products are FAULTY and made sure that they
cannot be contacted for complaints.
BAD BAD BLACKBERRY and VERY BAD RIM.

It is possible that your PB was cut off in the middle of updating the OS. Try this;
- hold the + and the - levers/buttons AND the On/Off button on the top of your BP down. Yes, all three at the same time until the unit restarts.
This should reset the PB and go from there. One other thing. You can not be in a hurry to update the OS. It can take as long as 40 minutes. RIM is working on making OS updates faster. The latest OS version is 1.0.7.3312.
Good luck

Problem with Java and Firefox?

After recently updating my firefox, I noticed that Java no longer will run. Everything is up to date and I have cleared internet and Java cache.
But I put the disk image for my firefox update back on to my desktop and Java was running again.
Any ideas?
I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.6

Are you using NoScript or another blocker?
But I put the disk image for my firefox update back on to my desktop and Java was running again.
What does this mean? Java runs from an uninstalled disk image, but it doesn't run from an installed version? Are you trying to run Firefox from a disk image in your applications folder?

Is anyone else having a problem with photoshop7 and new snow leopard operating system?

Recently purchased new imac with snow leopard operating system. Installed photoshop 7 successfully (it said anyway) but when I try to open get error message stating "an unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit." Help!

It may not have been considered a "Major Release," But when the it's the only OS that the machines you are currently building will run, it's pretty freakin' major!
(I'm not sure if Apple's latest machines will still run 10.5, or not, but from following this thread, I'm guessing not?)
It is the standard at Apple... the latest build of the current OS is what goes on the new machines, and the Motherboards, Chipsets, & BIOS (not the right term for it with Mac, I know) are "hard written" to accept that OS as the absolute minimum, and nothing older (or lower as some call it).
So, since the latest machines are coming preloaded with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) that, and subsequent newer builds of OS 10.6 and up is all they can be loaded with.
This is nothing new. It's industry wide in both Mac and PC. Just try to put XP on a brand new Dell, HP, or Gateway PC. Without flashing the BIOS and taking a "more likely than not" chance of rendering most of your hardware undetectable, it just ain't gonna happen.
Conversely, just as Snow Leopard won't run on a PPC powered Mac, Vista and 7 may install, or appear to, on a single core, older PC, but the first time you install and try to open anything other than the OS itself, you're in for a world of problems.
People have tried to fight this for years. In 2005 Mac users went out of their minds when Apple dropped support for OS 9. A year later, it was Windows 98 users freaking out over their beloved OS being "sunsetted". I was skeptical of the move to Intel processors when I first heard about it, having become a full time Mac user, and being partial to AMD before that. But like Motorola PPC processors, AMDs run hot and heat is the enemy. The new machines run faster, cooler, and do more for less money.
It's a major pain for people who don't have the budget for a new Mac (or PC) and still have old software that is perfectly functional, but they are finding more and more incompatibility as they interact with other people and newer systems. Sooner or later though, technology wins and everyone has to either upgrade or drop out. Fighting it is futile. I will always remember the day last Summer when I stopped at a traffic light and next to me was an older, redneck looking fellow in a new brand spanking new Honda Accord. It may have even been a hybrid, I don't know, but duct taped on his dash was what had to be a thirty-five year-old 8-track player with a bunch of wires coming out of the back, also taped to the dash, and running to a pair of 6 x 9 speakers, which were just laying on the dash (no duct tape). I had to wonder why he bothered to buy the latest in automotive technology and yet he was stuck in a time warp for his stereo. Don't Hondas come with some pretty decent CD stereo units? And where can you find 8 track tapes anymore?

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

Hello Anne.
Can you please try it in a new (temporary) Firefox profile and see if the issue is still present? See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles this article] to know how to create a new Firefox profile. Please report back the results.

Problem with IE and pubblishedIntoWall

Hi to all,
   i have a problem with InternetExplorer and CallBack
In my flex code i have :
flash.external.ExternalInterface.addCallback("pubblishedIntoWall", pubblishedIntoWall);
