Japanese or Chinese characters showing up in contextual menu (right click)

Whenever I right click inside a Firefox (v 3.6.17) window, there are three (3) menu picks at the very bottom of the contextual menu that are displayed in either Japanese or Chinese characters. How do I fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I have Chinese Characters showing up on the top of my Firefox page.

The Chinese Characters have been showing up for a couple of months. I have tried using various Virus Detecting programs such as MalewareBites but they don't seem to fix the problem. These Chinese Characters show up on the initial Firefox Search Screen as well as my ANZ Bank and Ancestry.com.au webpages just to name a few. How can I get rid of them. These Chinese Characters don't appear on Google or Internet Explore. If this can't be fixed I may have to stop using Firefox and use Google or Internet Explorer. I have tried attaching an image of this problem but it appears I am unable to.

Hi, this is a known problem with McAfee Site Adviser, so if you are using it, that could be the cause. [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/76071?tstart=0 Here's a link to their forum], and [http://service.mcafee.com/faqdocument.aspx?id=TS100162 here's instructions] for removing it - should you wish to.
Hope that helps.

Chinese characters show up as white boxes when doing captions

I am using Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a late 2013 MacBook Pro. I am trying to add Traditional Chinese subtitles to my video. I have imported a .dfxp file and added it to the timeline on V2 above my video track on V1. I have rendered the timeline. I have activated the closed captioning display. When I view the .dfxp file in the Captions Window, I can see the Chinese characters in the text boxes with their associated in and out points on the timeline. THE PROBLEM: IN THE PROGRAM MONITOR WINDOW, THE CHINESE CHARACTERS SHOW UP AS WHITE BOXES INSTEAD OF THE CHINESE CHARACTERS.
I have added all of the available Chinese fonts from Adobe Typekit. I have restarted Premiere to see if adding these fonts did anything to help. It did not. My question: how can I get the Chinese characters to appear instead of the white boxes?
Here's what it looks like:

Thanks for the post -- I'd file a bug report on this.

Why aren't handwritten chinese characters showing up in applications?

I'm on a 13" MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.9.4. I have activated [Pinyin - Simplified] in my input sources, and I have activated the option for TrackPad handwriting. Typing the pinyin and choosing the right character works fine, but I haven't been able to input chinese characters into any document via the trackpad writing method. I am able to pull up the "slate" thing, write, and choose a character, but the character just doesn't show up in the application. I've tried it with TextEdit, Word, and Safari.

I used to have task or shortcuts show up when I would right click on the FF Icon on the task bar. After installing 4.0 they are all gone. How do I get these back? or restore them to what they were?

Win 7 task bar has a Fire Fox Icon. Before installing FF 4.0 I could right click on the Icon and it would show short cuts to various sights, which when clicked on would open that sight in FF.
They are all gone now. What happened? Is there a way to get these back?

A few hidden preferences to check to make sure that the jump lists are enabled:
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# In the filter box type '''browser.taskbar.lists''' this should bring up a few preferences
# To enable all parts of the jump list, make sure the following preferences are set to '''true''', if they are not double-click to them to change their value
## browser.taskbar.lists.enabled
## browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled
## browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled
## browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled

Why won't Chinese characters show after copying from Abobe Reader?

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Reader 9 to read a pdf of a Chinese grammar book. I tried copying the characters and pinyin from the pdf into Mnemosyne to use for studying, however, it just comes up blank. I did it for another pdf and it comes up with weird characters. I downloaded the Chinese Simplified support and it does the same thing even after restarting my computer. Both pdfs allow for copying and were created with Adobe Distiller 7. I don't know what the problem is, but I would very much appreciate any help so I can get to studying.
Thank you,
hb

In "Show more Bookmarks" if I right click does not work (I want to open in a new tab)

This is using Mac Firefox current version. I use lots of tabs and don't have space for all of them so there is a >> at the right end for clicking and displaying the rest of them. If I click and display list and highlight one of them, the right click does not work - I want to open in a new tab not use the existing - there are no menu options displayed on these tabs. The tabs across the top work fine for this

Why 'Add to Playlist', 'Show in Playlist' disappeared in right-click manual

What's wrong?
Thz for help.

Contextual menu in finder "open with" has multiple entries of same apps

When I use the contextual menu (right click) on documents, the menu point "open with..." shows multiple entries of the same programs. For example when right clicking a PDF, there appears 5 times neoOffice, 2 times Preview, 6 times ... any other application that you could use to open the document. This occurs on all user accounts, only that the multiplicity of listings of the apps is different. So it can't be a preferences problem on my account. What else could be the cause?
This is quite annoying because the apps-list becomes very long and unusable.
Note: I have 2 internal start up disks with OS and apps installed, but only one mounted. That means, there cannot be a duplicate (triplicate...etc) copy of any app accessible at any time.
Thanks.

if I quit all running applications, it will be pretty hard to put anything in the Trash!
Are you being literal? Like quitting the Finder too? Or what bespeaks you?
Actually, I use Xupport to do that, but I think Onyx and several other Utilities include that option.

PDF from Word 2007 ends up with scrambled Chinese characters

I have a problem with PDF files when converted from a Word 2007 document that includes Traditional Chinese characters and I hope someone might be able to help or point me in the right direction. After converting it to PDF via "Create PDF" from the Acrobat toolbar, the Chinese characters are all wrong. It looks like Chinese but none of the characters actually exist, it's all scrambled and useless. Converting English or German text works fine, so far, it's only the Traditional Chinese text that causes problems.
The strange thing is that prior to installing Office 2007, all worked just fine. I could convert Chinese text from Word 2003 without any problems and other than updating to Word 2007, nothing has changed. Any idea where to start trouble shooting and how to fix it? I've already tried re-installing and reparing both Word and Acrobat but no improvement.
OS: WinXP Professional SP3 (English system)
Adobe: Master Collection CS4 (English)
Acrobat: Acrobat 9 Pro v9.1.3 (English)
PDF Maker: Conversion Settings are set to default "Smallest File Size Web"
Word: Microsoft Office Word 2007 (12.0.6504.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)
Note: Using "Save As" and select "PDF or XPS" in Word 2007 works fine, the Chinese characters show up properly in the PDF file but I prefer using the PDF Maker from Acrobat to create my PDF files.

I have found that WORD 2007, particularly with docx files, does some strange things to PDF files that you produce. It seems to break a perfectly good graphic into parts and send the parts to the PDF (not usually a problem unless you zoom in). We have tested with AA8 and AA7 with WORD 2007 and gotten these results. WORD 2003 worked like expected. It is almost as though MS decided to put some hooks in OFFICE 2007 for Acrobat. Normally with Acrobat, the graphics come out as a single graphic as stored in the application.
Glad you got the character issue to work. I use a job.settings file that is distributed by a publisher to get an "optimized" form of product for posting. Of course, optimized is always in the eye of the beholder, but I have been happy with it.

Macbook Pro 2011 is not showing Mirror Icon on menu bar for ATV

I just Downloaded Mountain Lion os x on my Macbook Pro 10.8. The mirroring icon was on my menu bar but when I restarted my computer it was gone. I went into System Preferences-displays and clicked "Show mirroring options" but it still isn't showing up. ATV is up to date and is running on 5.0.2.

Opening Contextual Menu without pressing Control

Is it possible to access the Contextual Menu while clicking on a link in a page while using Safari without having to press any other keys like Control? It is akin to right clicking in Windows. This was an issue when using Firefox, but with a simple tweak to the config page, I can click and hold the mouse on a link and it will open the contextual window, allowing me to select "open in new tab". I know I can do this by pressing another key in Safari, but is there a way around this? It just makes surfing a little easier and more streamlined.

Using OS 6 with a one-button mouse, holding down the button produced a contextual menu. Recently, I bought a M$ mouse that has a scroll wheel as well as a magnification button. It's an Optical Mouse 3000. Since the scroll wheel works for vertical AND horizontal movement, it reduces the effort in surfing. Another advantage is opening links in some browser windows (e.g., VersionTracker) in tabs without actually making each link the active link.
As far as this mouse working in one browser but not another, I believe I have the same features in Safari and Firefox.
