I cannot click on tabs in any website, do you know why? I can do it when using Internet Explorer but not firefox.

I have used Mozilla Firefox for years, but all of a sudden I cannot put my curser over a tabs on any website and click on it. What I mean is the top of the websites have words you can click on to go to other pages or in the email system it has tab buttons that allow you look at your inbox or close or save draft, it doesn't allow the curser to click on it. I can go to the tool bar put my curser in that and use the tab button on the key board to tab over to each word or link and then click enter and it will then go to that next page.

Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

URL links provided in emails (Windows Mail) stopped working. I get a popup message: "Windows cannot find...." asking me to make the URL is correct. I connect to Internet Explorer, but not Firefox, my default browser.

I have already updated Firefox to latest version and reset the default mail program to Windows Mail. But Windows Mail now doesn't want to recognize Firefox. If I shift to Internet Explorer, I have no problem. I have no problem receiving or sending emails, just using links contained in them.
This happened suddenly, two days ago, at the end of a day when linking had been possible, per usual.

nothing that I could find would solve my problem, so I just gave up trying...
then I had a group of Microsoft Updates badly interact with each other, causing me all kinds of stability problems involving SQL and printer drivers.
To fix those issues, I backed out all updates within the prior two months, then [slowly and painfully!] reinstalled them -- when done in groups, you can tell how Microsoft corrects bad updates by noting which ones are not reinstalled.
I also had to download and install every single MS SQL update available before everything that was broken worked again. Note that none of the updates had titles that suggested anything at all to do with web browsing (other than Internet Explorer) or Firefox.
There was also at least one Firefox update shortly after my re-installation of Windows Updates.
Funny thing happened along that path: as of today (version 32.0.1) has none of the problems I reported, but I cannot say for certain which change fixed them: I was far more concerned fixing SQL and printer issues to even test Firefox for default file association settings.
Sorry that I cannot be more useful, other than the general suggestions to:
(1) keep your system fully updated with all patches
(2) keep your anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spybot software current as well
(3) keep any program that uses HTML and other browser protocols also up to date
(4) take regular snapshots of your registry, and create a system restore point before every system and software update, so you can more easily back out problems
(5) keep the installation package(s) for prior version(s) of software (and Windows Update files) at least until you verify an update hasn't broken anything.
Hope that helps.

My website is accessible via Internet Explorer but not Firefox? It is a simple jpeg image being used as a home page.

No matter whether I am using FireFox on MAC or Windows my new posted home page is not showing up when I access the domain.
The home page in question is only a jpeg image labeled index.html in the prime directory. The jpeg or "home page" is accessible and is coming up correctly in IE. I am checking it on a desktop MAC and a Windows 7 laptop. Again the home page is only one file.

hello, to me the site appears to be down no matter what browser i use (maybe it is still present in your IE's cache & that's why it's showing). please contact the support of your website's hoster to find out what's going on...

Do you have an extension like IE View or IE Tab that opens pages in Firefox sing IE as the rendering engine?

Why don't I see the 'Emoticons' and 'Format' tabs when composing a message in the new Yahoo Mail, using Firefox, but I do when using Internet Explorer?

I have been using the new Yahoo Mail on Firefox. But today I noticed that when I write an email (Compose/Reply/Forward), I cannot format it. Only the 'Attachments' tab is present, but the 'Emoticons' and 'Format' tabs are not.
But when I do it using Internet Explorer, all those tabs are present and I can format and do whatever.
Is there something wrong with my Firefox? I have restarted my computer, I have shut it down, but my Yahoo Mail remains problematic when using Firefox.

Firefox only allows you to save executable files. If you want to add an option to run them you can use the OpenDownload² add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902

Any ideas

On my Vista PC, I can download HotSyncLog.htm on Internet Explorer but get an error with Firefox. Any ideas why?

Does anyone know why I can't see the HotSyncLog.htm file (after a HotSync) when Firefox is my default browser, but it comes up fine when I switch back to Internet Explorer? Thank you
Post relates to: Tungsten T5

Hello!
This is a compatibility issue. The log is formated for IE support, not the Modzilla engine based browsers. If you do decide to make a non IE-based browser as default for your pc, you will need to right-click on the HotSyncLog.htm file and select Open With option to there select IE to check it out for Windows will keep going to Firefox.

When clicking on a button on a website, for example "printable view" on a webmail document, nothing happens. When using Internet Explorer, another windows pops up.

I have tried unchecking the "block pop ups" box and still nothing.

Have you thought about installing Firefox 11??
Since add-ons are a common culprit in modifying website functionality, you could test without them.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up. Just click "Continue in Safe Mode".
Do the links work correctly? If not, you try creating a new (blank) profile: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
If that works you could try to sort out the cause in your old profile, or move key settings like bookmarks from your damaged profile to the new profile, see: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].

When using Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader xi, I cannot find how to keep the Page thumbnails from hiding. We want them open. Please help!

In Internet Explorer, when opening a PDF using the IE addon Adobe Reader XI, the Page Thumbnail toolbar is shrunk to the left (hidden). Our users access the thumbnails constantly and we need this to remain open by default but I cannot find anywhere that this option is set. I would expect there to be a pin icon to click to keep it open. In the stand alone product Adobe Reader, we found that you can click "Restore last view settings when reopening documents." in Documents prefs but this doesn't work for new documents (only previously opened docs) AND doesn't work in Internet Explorer at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Marc

That would be something you could set at document level in document properties but would require Acrobat to make permanent.

Cannot even see a standalone download button - do you know why?

I'm having a total sense of humour failure with itunes, and have spent hours of my life just uninstalling & reinstalling, following every piece of advice on the whole www! http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=505200&tstart=0
However, when i go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
I cannot see anywhere to click to get this standalone file. There's just a grey box on the left and text on the right which is not a hyperlink.
Any clues?

hi luciwap!
by any chance do you have McAfee Privacy Service installed on that PC?
if so, head to the itunes download page:
iTunes 6.0.4.2 Installer
do you see a blank blue box to the left of that screen?
if so, see:
iTunes download button isn't visible on the Download webpage
(this issue can also hit folks on the QT Player and iPod software download pages, as well as the itunes one.)

I can't import cd's any more. You know why?

I use iTunes 10.7 and I never had anay problems. I could import as many cd's as I wanted. But - starting today- my iMac doens't react any more if I want to import a cd.

I tried a DVD and the drive doesn't work any more. You can't buy one and replace it yourself?
Not even with a DVD?
As for replacing, you would have to ask on the imac forum. The problem with newer and more compact Apple computers is it is almost impossible or truly impossible to replace components. In fact the newest ones do nto have an optical drive at all and external is the only option.
I bought a dvd at the iTunes shop and it was no problem uploading en playing the film.
Be careful with terminology, you might use it incorrectly in a situation where we cannot tell the difference. The iTunes Store does not sell DVDs, it sells movies. DVDs are plastic discs with data on them.
Sometimes drives go bad slowly. In your case it seems like some critical component has gone in one go. You can take it into an Apple Store and get them to have a look at it but it really sounds to me like your drive has gone like a blown lightbulb, according to the information you have provided.

Cannot expand viewer for ESPN3. The task bar at the bottom is not visable. It works with Internet Explorer, but not with FireFox

There is a task bar that should be visible so you can expand the viewer to the full size of your computer screen. I can open up internet explorer and it works, but not in FireFox. This is when using ESPN3, or ESPNWATCH.

I cannot click on 'reply' on a website where you can post comments. I try to reply to someone elses post, it jumps back to the top of the site!

I have 'Yahoo' as my home page, and from there I see articles which I usually like to respond to and make comments. That I can do quite easily, but if I try to post a reply to someone else's comment, the page jumps back to the top and the 'reply' option does not open for me to post my comment. This does not happen all the time, but it is happening quite often now. I have RESET my Firefox browser thinking that was the problem, but it still persists.
Thank you for your help.

The first thing you can try is to clear the cache and cookies.
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.
