IWeb with Mac Firefox

For several months I've been having difficulty with Mac Firefox and my web site.  The site is an extremely simple iWeb creation, nothing more than a collection of photos and some text.  I did not manually add any HTML code.  Most of the images appear on the screen as broken pieces, to the point where the site is totally useless.  I've confirmed that everything displays properly with Mac Safari.  I also confirmed that everything displays properly with Windoze Safari, Windoze IE and (most important) Windoze Firefox.
Has anyone else had this issue?  If your sites work properly with Mac Firefox, would you take a peek at mine?  If mine displays properly, perhaps I've got an incorrect Firefox setting somewhere.  If it does not display properly, I've got to look at the iWeb settings.

I solved the problem before I saw your post.  It's quite possible that your suggestions would have worked but I used brute force so I don't know exactly what happened.
First, I trashed the application.  I have Mac Keeper installed and whenever an application is trashed, it looks for all supporting files and gives me the option of also trashing them, which I did.
Finally, I reloaded FF from the dmg that I had previously downloaded.  Problem gone!
My worry wasn't my own machine.  I feared that others would experience that problem.  I would never know that they couldn't see my pictures.
Thanks.
By the way, I have FF4.  I was unaware that FF5 is available.

  • Simple guide for using SQLite Manager with Mac Firefox browsing history

    Is there a basic beginner step-by-step guide (rather then a detailed user manual) on using SQLite Manager to work with Mac Firefox browsing history? Thank you!

    Firefox doesn't have many option to mange the History.
    You can only delete items or copy and paste them to bookmarks.
    Using the SQLite Manager extension to make changes to the History is not really recommended because a lot of tables are involved.<br />
    The extension is suited to inspect or export specific entries occasionally, but not for doing more complicated operations.

  • Syncing my 2 Macs and iWeb with .mac

    Hello people...
    I am having troubles with iWeb. I started using it today for the first time. I love very easy to use and looks great.
    My problem is this... I use 2 macs and want iWeb to update changes made on both of the machines. Example : I update a page at work then publish, all is good. When I get home I would like to make more changes to the page. This is the problem. I know all the files are stored locally (library-application support-iWeb/ domain.sites) before they are published but I don't really want to copy the domain.site file everytime I move machines or make updates.
    I was hoping iWeb would check with your .mac account and update iweb on both of my machines.
    Doe's anyone know if th iweb does check .mac?
    Thanks in advanced..

    This is from will and it worked on my files, thanks! before I had just ported the domain file without opening and saving in iWeb and it just drew a blank page but if you open iweb first and THEN save and THEN replace the domain file you should be fine
    """""I have not done it, but from reading other posts I believe that this is what you need to do. If you have already done this then i apologize
    Open iWeb without your copied domain file in place.
    Add a page and then close iWeb, choosing to save, this creates a domain.site file so that IWeb knows where to look.
    Move this newly created domain.sites file elsewhere.
    Copy your other domain.site file into: User / Library / Application Support / iWeb / Put it in this folder.
    Reopen iWeb and you should be looking at the site you created on the other Mac.

  • Can you only use Iweb with .mac accounts?

    Can I use iweb to build a webiste for a domain I already own with web hosting?

    You need another app (specifically, an FTP client). iWeb can only publish directly to .mac or a folder on your computer. There are various FTP programs, but I'm really partial to Transmit 'cause it's really easy and kicks you-know-what.
    Quote from the makers of Transmit: "And yes, Transmit 3 is the perfect FTP companion to iWeb."
    And no, I don't work for Panic, Inc.

  • How merge iWeb with .mac HomePage?

    I'm having difficulties on merging iWeb photos I published into my .mac homepage which I already have lot of pics in there. I want people to continue looking at my pictures.
    On my .mac account when I log in on Safari, I noticed the homepage galleries are separated from the iWeb I published. How can I merge these two together??
    Please help! I'm starting to "regret" that I installed iLife '06. This is not any simple as Apple said so.

    Sherry:
    You can edit and add to existing homepages via the .Mac site thru Safari or your web browser. You'd have to manually add photo files to the folder holding the photo files for a particular web page and then go the the .Mac homepage site, select that page and do an edit. You can also create new homepages with the older themes manually.
    It is a shame you can't use the two together. the iWeb selection of theses is rather limited compared to Homepage. Good luck.

  • I see lots of people have the same probelm with Mac Firefox 6.0.2. It hangs or won't work on certain websites while Safari (shock) does as does Chrome. So, do I queit using firefox until you guys come out with a newer browser or do you have a fix?

  • Safari doesn't read pages generated by iWeb on .Mac, but Firefox does

    I had a really bad experience with Safari 2.0.4, and I still don't know why that program is becoming such a problem. I am using Quicktime 7.1.6
    I have been making podcasts using GarageBand, iWeb, and .Mac since February 2006, and things have been working okay. But today, when I checked my page on Safari after I published it using iWeb 1.1.2 to publish on .Mac, the podcast pages didn't work. Checking pages that used to work, they don't work any longer with Safari. At first, I thought it might be a problem with my storage allocation on .Mac, but that is not the case (I have using less than half my allotment). I thought the podcast file might be broken, but it works fine in iTunes. I tried it on my laptop, but Safari didn't work either.
    All my podcast pages that previously worked, now show a question mark in the Quicktime box. Needless to say, I was concerned, so I tried much older files on .Mac that have already worked before, but no dice.
    One such page is:
    http://web.mac.com/eschaal/iWeb/Docketer%20Project/Podcast/C7F36E57-1AB2-4D12-A8 87-1F199E86AE2D.html
    Then I tried Firefox, and it works fine.
    What gives? Why is Firefox more compatible with iWeb and .Mac, than Apple's own Safari? Why is Safari suddenly not working on two different machines, while Firefox works perfectly?

    I found some further information, re my problem.
    Factoid one, I went to the Apple Store in Nagoya and they had exactly the same problem on their machines that I had had, so it is NOT anything to with my machine, my upgrades, etc.
    Factoid two, I ran the iWeb-generated coding through http://validator.w3.org/ and it found "page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!"
    Factoid three, Firefox runs the page just fine.
    Based upon this, I am posting a comment in the blog for my podcast identifying the problem and recommending that people wanting to see the page in Firefox. In the meantime, I will migrate that podcast off of .Mac, remove iWeb from my machine, and migrate all my web browsing to Firefox. I had contemplated dumping Safari before, because it has turned flaky (failing to quit sometimes and sometimes hanging up), but this was the final straw.

  • IWeb with flash widget not posting correctly on Firefox on PC

    I created pages on iWeb, with flash widget. It looks great on Safari and Firefox on the mac, terrible on firefox PC. Basically on Firefox PC, the iWeb created site that should be in front of the flash file, gets behind it when the page loads, so the page only shows the flash file.
    Can anyone help? I have tried to figure out the HTML and CSS, without success.
    Here's a link to a page that's fine on the Mac side, bad on the PC:
    www.franckgoldberg.com/Design/AR_Media.html

    Why would it work on the mac, and not on the PC?
    The kind folks at Firefox and Flock should know that.

  • On my mac firefox 4 and 3 i can't simply even open it, it just crashes and crashes, although if i try to open it in another acount yes it opens, i'ts like my account has a problem with firefox (tryed cleaning it all with appzaper, but nothing)))

    Please help me i can't stand chrome going so slow with 10 tabs

    Thanks Sig for getting back to me.  I really do appreciate it!  But I'm not sure how erasing my drive is going to help.  And besides, my problem is that I can't even boot to my original Tiger install DVDs anymore.  I'm unable to execute any kind of boot-level command -- including holding down "c" key to boot from the drive, holding "T" key to go into Target Disk Mode or holding down "option" in order to bring up my bootable partitions!
    Holding down any of these keys after the boot chime simply causes the screen to go black and then hang. The DVD drive will show it's being read from but nothing ever comes up.
    Since I can't boot to my install DVD, there is no way for me to access the Disk Utility to erase my hard drive.  Do you see the problem?
    I am able to boot to my Windows 7 DVD, since I was able to install that to my old Tiger Partition, but I don't see how using my Windows install DVD would help me to re-install OS X.
    I need to figure out why none of my boot-level opterations are available.  If I was able to boot to my original Tiger discs (or any OS X DVD) than my problem would be solved, but I can't do that!
    Any other ideas?  Thanks in advance!  --e

  • Since installing Mac Mavericks all my friends with Macs and I have problems with the cursor disappearing, only in Firefox, Safari is fine...

    I have stopped using Firefox as nothing I have done has fixed this problem. I have tried shutting down Firefox and rebooting it, I cleared all my add-ons and then added adblock back (that's the only one) but it still doesn't work. I've deleted large files so that I have more space - I can't think of anything else that will work. I have spoken to four of my friends with Macs and they are all having the same problem with Firefox since Mavericks.

    Hi thanks very much for your reply. I did a few things like delete my add-ons and I don't have the problem of the disappearing cursor (sounds like a Sherlock Holmes story) any more but it seems to have been a mac issue as there were many complaints on the Apple forums of the cursor disappearing since the Mavericks OS and not just in Firefox but in multiple programs. Looks like they've fixed it somehow!

  • Running 6.0.2 with MAC OS 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro and Firefox crashes and crashes and crashes and crashes. What have you done to your software? It sucks.

    Running the new and improved 6.0.2 with Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro and Firefox keeps crashing. When I have Yahoo on my screen with MY FAVORITES on the left side I can't click on ANY of my favorites without a crash. I can hardly navigate anywhere without a crash. Have a MacBook Air running same OS and same Firefox with no problems. So what gives? What is happening and what should I do to fix this?

    something similar has been happening to me for a a couple weeks (even before the most recent update, but now is definitely worse) on my 2010 MacBook Air. Firefox freezes upon startup, and then freezes maybe every twenty minutes or so when I'm actively using it, staying frozen for at least a minute or two. it drives me crazy.
