Irritating bug in Firefox package...
Just to bring some attention to it... if you press the apostrophe or "/" key, the "find" bar pops up at the bottom of the window. I've never seen this in any other distro.
(Also, the Firefox package crashes more than Firefox usually does... So for now I think I'd recommend using the port instead.)
that's not a bug, that's a "feature", it's sort of new.
Firefox doesn't crash here, if it's related to flash then try with a clean config (Firefox is hardly backward compatible with it's config, sad as it is).

When composing an email in Mac Mail I've noticed a small but very irritating bug: pressing the spacebar after typing an apostrophe in a word, e.g. "we're", the cursor moves to the left i.e. backwards, and not to the right, effectively deleting a space and not creating one.
Any ideas?I just recreated this problem on my iMac (wired KB, no wireless KB) by changing Mail > Preferences > Composing > Spellcheck from "as I type" to "never". Then type a contraction ending in 're and the space bar causes the cursor to jump back as others have stated, to the spot 'r|e
Next, I went into System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, and turned off "use smart quotes" and the problem went away again.
From this point (smart quotes off, spell checking never), if I turn Smart Quotes ON, the problem returns.
The problem is dependent on the state of both settings.
The spacebar in Mail "works" if I have either of the following setting combinations:
Keyboard: smart quotes OFF, Mail: check spelling ANY SETTING
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: check spelling AS I TYPE
Other combinations FAIL
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check spelling NEVER
Keyboard: smart quotes ON, Mail: Check Spelling WHEN I CLICK SEND
Looks to me like there's a bug in Mail > Preferences > Check spelling > NEVER and WHEN I CLICK SEND that interacts badly with Keyboard > Smart quotes ON.
Thanks.

How much money i will get, if i tell you a new bug in Firefox 8
how much money i will get, if i tell you a new bug in Firefox 8, i found a new bug in Firefox 8, i tested this bug on chrome but their is no issue with this .
About the only way you could get money is by reporting a serious or critical security vulnerability that has not been reported before.

NavigateToURL bug in FireFox?
Hi all,
I'm expreiencing a strange bug with FireFox... I have the
following example application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
private function onClick():void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("abc.html"));
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button label="test" click="onClick()"/>
</mx:Application>
So, basically, when I click the "test" button, the browser
should go to "abc.html".
Now, if I run the application locally, it works perfectly as
expected in both IE and FF. But, if I run the application off my
webserver (Apache2), then IE still works perfectly, but FF doesn't.
The behaviour I get in FF is as follows: when I click on the
button, roughly half of the time it will work as expected (ie opens
"abc.html" in a new tab), and the other half of the time FF
displays a "FireFox prevented this site from opening a popup
window" message.
Now the fact that this only occurs when the application is
served remotely is obviously due to FF's security model. But the
weird part (bug?) is that the "blocking" occurs randomly. If I just
click the "test" button a dozen times (slow or fast) the result
will be around half a dozen new windows, with the other half a
dozen blocked :(
So, has anyone experienced this problem before? Can you spot
anything wrong with the code in my example above? I've tried the
example on another PC, and it has exactly the same problem - both
PC's are running FireFox 1.5.
Any thoughts would be really appreciated.
Paul.Hi leotemp, thanks for you reply. I've had a play with the
IFrame approach in the past, and it introduces some other problems
for the type of app I'm writing (can't really say what that app is
yet).
I've done some more playing with the problem, and how's this
for wierd mis-behaviour? ... I wrote an openNewWindow() JavaScript
function and placed it into the HTML wrapper that loads the swf
file. Then, if I call that function using navigateToURL, the same
problem occurs. But if I call that function using
ExternalInterface.call("openNewWindow","abc.html") then it *almost*
works... you see, the ExternalInterface version works well if the
call is made from a click handler (like the example above), but
unfortunately, I need it to work in the result handler of a SOAP
service call... and there, it is blocked again! Though this time
the blocking is a lot more consistant... ie it blocks about 9 out
of 10 tries :(
I'm assuming that the problem is due to FF trying to
differentiate between popups that are the direct result of user
clicks, versus popups that result from automatic scripts - blocking
the latter, but not the former.
Any other ideas?!

How long till you slackers fix the clipboard bug in firefox?
seriously im ditching firefox as of now for opera cuz no one seems to be interested in fixing the virtual private clipboard bug in firefox.
It is nothing short of infuriating & frustrating!!!!!!!! CMON U SLACKERS!!!!Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

After last update to last version, FF was running fine before a hardware restart.
Since then it won't start and profile manager either. No error message pops up and console window doesn't trace any event.
firefox package contents an "updated" package likely created by last update.
Will i loose my settings or run into any kind of problem by replacing firefox's package with the so called "updated" one?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.

I use Firefox to work online with a wiki called Confluence. When previewing a page in any version after 3.66, you cannot scroll properly to see the whole page.
I would have provided this as feedback, but the feedback button keeps telling me to download the latest Beta and this is it.The test case in comment 1 of that bug report shows the Pass alert for me with the current Minefield nightly build. It also works in Firefox 3.5.16 , but not in Firefox 3.6.13
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html;charset=utf-8,
<script>
function onload() {
document.getElementById("preview").style.display = "";
document.getElementById("preview").innerHTML = ('<iframe src="data:text/html," scrolling="no"></iframe>');
var iframe = document.getElementById("preview").firstChild;
var doc = iframe.contentDocument;
doc.write("<script src='data:text/javascript,'></"+"script>"+"<script>function onload() {alert('PASS')}</" + "script>");
doc.close();
</script>
<body>
You should see an alert saying "PASS". Firefox 3.6.7, however, doesn't show the alert.
<div id="preview" style="display:none">
</div>

Flex 3 locale swf loading bug on firefox
Hi all
I REALLY need your help here
if anyone knows this bug or have any idea how to deal with it, it would really mean a lot to me
i've been tring everything
description:
i'm building an application using flex 3, where all texts are being localized via the locale loaded at runtime
i suspect that for some reason the locale swf i'm loading isn't updating elements of the page
as you can see in the image below, texts appear cut off.
this happens to me only in firefox, no matter which page of the app is being displayed
any ideas?
appreciate your time in answering
Yariv GiladHello and thank you for your quick answer
the text is indeed right, and what you say make sense to me
how can i proceed from here though?
how can i fix the "sizing and positioning problem" ?
the UI components are there and are being populated dynamically through the locale
is there a way to force them to update?
is this the right direction at all?
any other ideas?
just to note that if i hard-code the text into the components they are rendered perfectly
so i don't see a reason to change their position or size...
thank you for your time

When will Mozilla correct the printing bug with Firefox where only 1 page is printed?
There is a problem with FireFox whereby it only prints the FIRST PAGE of many sites.
Searching the web on this, it seems that this problem has been around for a long time and even what the cause is.
Apparently FireFox interprets the html text "overflow: hidden" as meaning to 'hide' all the rest of the page when printing.
Many users have reported this problem, but to date it has not been adressed.
Please correct this Mozilla (Or do I have to go back to using Safari?)Please go to the following bug and add a comment documenting this problem:
https:// bugzilla .mozilla .org/ show_bug.cgi?id=258397
If more people report this problem, there is a better chance they will fix it.
''Moderator broke the hyperlink. Please don't advocate the spamming in Bugzilla reports, if anything request that users '''vote''' for a Bug that they think should be fixed. That particular Bug is a duplicate of this one - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129941 - which was fixed in 4.0b7.'' -
Dear Firefox Supportline,
I have found a bug and would like you to fix it in the next versions of Firefox.
Code example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div style="background-color: orange;">
<div style="float: left;">TEXT</div>
<div style="clear: both; overflow: hidden;"></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: pink; height: 20px; margin: 150px 0px 10px;"></div>
<div style="background-color: red;">Another text</div>
</body>
</html>
If to delete feature "overflow" with value "hidden" for the layer which removes floating, then an unnecessary margin is created.
Best regards, ZEOSImage:

The problems I've had with Firefox are numerous. It keeps running in the background and won't reopen. I have to go to the task manager and close it manually. Now, it won't load my iGoogle homepage. I was loading fine, earlier but now won't. My other browsers work fine. There are just too many bugs here.

Flash audio bug on Firefox Mozilla on PC

When using flash players to play audio files, using 15
players works, but more
don't:
WORKS =>
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/flashtest.php?x=15
DOESN'T WORK =>

http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/flashtest.php?x=20
DOESN'T WORK =>
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/flashtest.php?x=40
etc...
This number is a GLOBAL number: if you open more tabs or more
instances (making
the count of flash players larger than 15) the player fails.
Checked on about 4
different computers and both OSX and Windows XP.
Internet Explorer doesn't seem to have problems with more
than 15 players, and
using up to 100 players (or more) doesn't impose any
problems.
guess: problem is not related to audio, as it works in
Internet Explorer and
isn't OS-dependent.
Reproducible: Always

Ever since yesterday when i'm in the firefox browser, sometimes the websites I'm on don't show up right. It looks like its in safemode or something and instead of the site being centered and organized, its all to the left and uneven. Does that make sense? I don't know if there is a bug in my computer or something. I have to use firefox for the website that I go to because Safari doesn't support it. It's not just that one site though. I have to refresh the page several times before its back to normal. Any ideas on what might be wrong? I just got a macbook w/ Leopard. The very basic one.
That sounds like what happened to me yesterday, too. However, I think it was a glitch in Firefox, because as soon as I shut FF down and restarted it, everything went back to normal. Every now and then FF does some strange things, and I've found restarting it generally does the trick.

FLV Preload bug in Firefox for Windows
I have created an FLV player using progressive download that
functions correctly in all platforms except Firefox on Windows. In
Firefox/Windows the movie stops loading as soon as the buffer is
full.
This can be seen by watching the BytesLoaded and BufferLength
values. As soon as the BufferLength reaches BufferTime, BytesLoaded
stops increasing and the video starts playing.
On all other platforms, BytesLoaded continues to grow while
the movie is playing until the entire movie is loaded.
As a result, in Firefox the video will play smoothly until
the buffer is empty, then it will pause while the buffer refills
(during which the BytesLoaded also increases) and then it begins
playing again. This stop/start behavior continues until the
BytesLoaded finally equals BytesTotal and the movie will play to
completion.
Does Firefox require some different coding, or am I missing
something that the other platforms are just more forgiving of? I
believe the server mime types have been set correctly, but I'm open
to all possibilities based on your experience or ideas.
Thanks!
The essential code (minus UI and error checking stuff) is
this:
//On Bug in iCloud 4.0 control panel - decimal places Office 2013 / Outlook 2013
they mentioned the same Bug.
