I am unable to print using firefox message is "unknown printer error" No problem with other browsers

I tried to print a coupon from an e-mail and the message I got was "unknown printer error". I am able to print from word and other items on my desktop and also from another browser. I cannot print anything using Firefox. I have not had any updates recently and the problem seems to have happened spontaneously. Can you help.

Thanks it worked. Actually I tried that before I posted my question. I went back and rechecked and I had missed one item. Turns out it made a difference. I can now print my coupons.

Cannot open any e-mails using Firefox. Has ATT service. No problems with other web sites.

I have used internet explorer and had no problems opening my e-mails. When I access my e-mail which is provided by AT&T using firefox, my entire e-mail is frozen. I am using att.net mail beta or Yahoo mail beta. What can I do to resolve the problem, I do not like using internet explorer. It was working when I switched from basic att mail to the new bata for the last few weeks then all of a sudden it would freeze when I access my e-mail.

Using a IP191 monitor, have random horizontal streaks on display - have no problem with other browsers; also no problem with FF on other family PC's

Using a IP191 monitor, have random horizontal streaks on display - have no problem with other browsers; also no problem with FF on other family PC's.
These "streaks" appear to be area of too high frequency scanning; they can be cleared by scrolling up and/or down.

hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > options > advanced > general''.

My printer will not print using Mozilla. No problem with other browsers. This is a new problem. Mozilla worked until last week.

My printer works fine when I print from Microsoft Word or other browsers.

This is the only official support forum for Firefox. 
You could be scammed on other sites.
Yesterday, we had a spamming attack on the forums. 
This sort of thing has never happened before, on all of my time with the support forums. 
Sorry if any posts offended you. The moderators are working hard to prevent this sort of thing.
For the best support results, I suggest that you remain on this forum because it is run my Mozilla. 
Thank you and again sorry for any spamming that you encountered yesterday.

After recent upgrades Firefox prevents links in several websites from working whilst there is no such problem with other browsers - help please.

Since a recent upgrade of Firefox links in several websites no longer work. They used to be fine and I loved Firefox. The problems do not exist with other browsers e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome. More specifically, on talktalk.co.uk the links to news items do not work, nor do those to "My Account." On Barclays.co.uk the link to print my statement doesn't work - similarly on MBNA.com
There are several suggested solutions around the internet but all are complex, none so far have worked and I don't see why I should need to carry out the suggested tweaks. Firefox used to be great - now it isn't. The problem seems to be with the upgrade. Please help me to get my Firefox to where it should be.

Thank you but please don't waste any more time on this. I have done as I said I would - removed and re- installed Firefox, cleared all cookies and caches (CCleaner) - still doesn't work. As I said at the start, the problem is not confined to Talktalk - it applies to several other sites and links. The problem does not occur with Internet Explorer nor with Google Chrome so I am now using those.

Having connection problems with the cloud on my pc using Firefox and Explorer. Is there a problem with iCloud today?

I've been having trouble connecting to the Cloud today.
Is there a problem with Apple or is it my browser?
I've been trying with Firefox and Explorer both.

If this comes up again, check out this Apple System Status site.

Gmail attachment failed in firefox v.25. no problem with other browsers.

This used to work in previous firefox versions but it seems after the upgrade I can't get this to work anymore.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Need help troubleshooting problem: Flash hangs after using Firefox (on mac) back button - works fine on all other browsers

to reproduce:
1. click on a flash button that takes you to a new html page
2. hit the back button on browser
3. flash button hangs
I've included a test page as an example below.
the bug is specific to having used the flash button and is specific to the Mac version of firefox. The PC version seems to work fine.

What is the address of the first page? The only thing that link you posted in your information was the page that says, "now hit the back button and see if flash hangs after clicking on the flash button".

New problem. Can't print to Adobe Acrobat 9 from a Firefox page. Both programs hang up. No problem with other browsers

Using Windows 7. 64 bit

Yes, the location for the Adope PDF printer had garbage in it. I fixed that. That has now fixed the problem.
However, Art's reply gave me an idea. I am using FrameMaker 8.0p277 (the version that came with Tech Comm Suite). Also, Acrobat 8 3D came with it.
Since then, however, I have installed Acrobat 9 Pro (which also provided Distiller 9).
Could it be that FrameMaker is trying to call Distiller 8, which no longer exists on my computer)?
Answering prev questions:
"So if you uncheck Print To File so the distiller generates the PS file and distills it automatically, nothing happens, right? It just sits there?
and
Have you tried selecting a different Job Option, like Standard, or High Quality?"
Yes, if I uncheck Print to File, nothing happens and no .ps or .pdf is created.
On the properties of my Adobe PDF printer
There are actually four entries. It does not seem to matter which one I choose.
I'm working now on seeing if I can get Acrobat re-installed.

A bunch of ads have been appearing in my firefox browser; when I view the same page with other browsers they do not appear.

I can provide a screenshot to help illustrate my problem. Every page I load has numerous ad boxes embedded into the page from "Ads by Browse to Save". Does anyone else have this problem? Is this something that firefox added to their browser or do I have a malware problem? (I see no option to post a screenshot of the problem, as is advised on the community help homepage. Maybe I will have that option once my question is posted.)

I think I see where it is from your system details:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If there is no Remove button, then it is an externally added extension and you may need to visit the Windows Control Panel to get rid of it. (But go ahead and at least disable it now.)
Does that work?

Have been using firefox for years but now having many problems two days ago could not acess any web pages without a firefox message saying page could not be ver

Went on the internet on Friday but a box appeared saying firefox could not verify web page and somebody could be trying to impersinate the web page this was my home page it gave me two options the first was get me out of here or that I understood the risks and to continue I clicked the latter and my home page came up this box continued to appear on each occasion I tried to acess any web pages but when I tried to acess Facebook the box only gave me the option of get me out of here it also did this when I tried to acess Mozilla Firefox to see whether there was a problem with the browser I tried to reinstall the browser but the problem persisted I finally got round the problem by reinstalling my computer to an earlier time before I did this I also have the option for Google chrome on my computer and this browser worked fine Facebook etc I prefere Firefox but although the warning box hasn't materialised since I reset my computer Firefox has become unstable where it has frozen on a web page and the only way I can get out is to start the task manager and end the programme even though the task manager is saying that the page is still working correctly but after I have ended the running of the programme it will not reload the firefox browser but again google chrome is fine I have to restart the computer to fix this problem any ideas thanks.

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
*Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
*Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
Check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
Check out why the site is untrusted and click "Technical Details" to expand this section.
If the certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided (sec_error_unknown_issuer) then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
*Note that some firewalls monitor (secure) connections and that programs like Sendori or FiddlerRoot can intercept connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
*Note that it is not recommended to add a permanent exception in cases like this, so only use it to inspect the certificate.

My computer crashes repeatedly and I get the message pages are not responding do you want to stop, and/or shockwave is not responding do you want to stop. I have Windows XP Service Pack 3, I am having the same issues whether I use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. My HP Pavilion Desktop has 504 MB of Ram and I am using high speed internet connection. Because it was crashing so much, I used the uninstall program for Flash player to uninstall Flash, I checked my registry and removed anything I saw that was Flash. I then uninstalled Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, then I reinstalled the most recent versions from their websites. I did the same for FlashPlayer and Shockwave Flash. I went to the Adobe website and had them check to see if it was working and it shows I have FlashPlayer 10.3.181.36. The page that shows which version of flash player goes with Windows XP states that I should have 10.3.181.34 (This is what I thought I had before I updated, I was having the same problems). When I went into my computer to see what version I have, it shows 11.5.9.620 Activex and both Flash Player and Flash Player Object is listed as 10.3.181.34. My firewall for Windows is set to medium. I also am running Norton Internet Security. It takes anywhere from 3-6minutes for some of my games to load, and I have to refresh at least 3-4 times in order to play. When I do start to play it freezes frequently and I use escape to free it up. This has been going on for a month. I have no idea what to do. I am not very computer savy and I have been learning as I go.
