Java NetBeans and Firefox will not work together

I'm just beginnig to learn Java an have installed jdk 1.6.0 and NetBeans IDE 5.5.
In NetBeans I have the possibility to chose Firefox as a tool to read docs (over the internet).
But when I try to set it up with the following parameters:
/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox -remote "openURL({URL})"I get the following error:
Cannot execute /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox.
Check that valid external browser property is set.
From Tools menu choose Options.
Click Advance Options button, expand External Tool and Settings node,
then expand Web Browsers and choose valid browser.The only thing I can imagine is there will be something wrong with the command but I can't figure out whats wrong.
The Firefox shell-script is located an named as above (/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox)
and when I click at it in konqueror i start nicely.
So ...??

Hello everyone... unfortunately i have a similar issue. I have a fresh load of openSuSE 10.2 on a Dell Laptop. It is (intended to be) my main Java/AJAX development box, and I cannot get NetBeans to launch Firefox. A detailed account of my symptoms is below:
OS Config:
openSuSE 10.2
Firefox 2.0 (openSuSE pre-packaged version)
IDE Config:
configuration:
A) Browser set to Firefox (/usr/bin/firefox), arguments: -remote "openURL({URL})"
B) No browser windows open
1. Try to launch project (or click on a link in the Welcome page to go to NetBeans.org) and nothing happens. Status bar says "Running command /usr/bin/firefox" but nothing happens.
2. Run command /usr/bin/firefox -remote "openURL(http://www.google.com)" from a terminal get message "no running window found"
configuration:
A) Browser set to Firefox (/usr/bin/firefox), arguments: -remote "openURL({URL})"
B) At least 1 browser window open
1. Try to launch project (or click on a link in the Welcome page to go to NetBeans.org) and nothing happens. Status bar says "Running command /usr/bin/firefox" but nothing happens.
2. Run command /usr/bin/firefox -remote "openURL(http://www.google.com)" from a terminal and new browser opens with google.com
configuration
A) Browser set to Firefox (usr/lib/firefox), arguments: URLB) No browser window open.
1. Launch project or click on link on welcome screen and Firefox launches with correct URL. However, upon closing firefox, I get the error from Netbeans stating that it could not run command /usr/bin/firefox (although everything ran fine)
2. run command /usr/bin/firefox http://www.google.com from the terminal and it launches firefox to google, but blocks (keeps focus away from the terminal window) until you close firefox and you are given back control of the terminal.
configuration
A) Browser set to Konqueror, arguments : {URL}
B) No browser window open
1. Launch a project or click on any of the links, and everything runs like a champ, no fuss from NetBeans.
This didn't happen on my SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.0 install a few weeks back. That, however, came with Firefox 1.5.x and I dont recall if I updated it to 2.0. At any rate, it seems to be something with the way the -remote command is executed. Does anyone have any more ideas? I want to use this machine for my Java/AJAX and really don't want to have to default to Konqueror.
Thanks in advance!

My mac connects to the Internet fine, but Sarfari, chrome, and Firefox will not work. Nor will programs that connect to the internet

This problem has been going on for a few days. my computer connects to the internet fine and runs fine, but none of my Internet browsers will work. I have deleted all my history, cache, cookies etc. For all browsers. I have also made sure that i have no proxies on and that no firewall is blocking my Internet. I have ran virus scans to look for malware and nothing comes up... I'm very confused.
For chrome I get errors like "err_socket_not_connected", "err_connection_closed", and "err_empty_response"
for safari it just says "safari can't open the page because safari can't establish a secure connection to the server"
please help me if you know anything! Thank you in advanced

Hi, mattkaroni.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to use internet on any program that connects to the internet. This sounds like the issue would be with your internet connection. Try going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

IPod Touch and iTunes Will Not Work Together.

I just received a new iPod Touch 32GB yesterday and have had nothing but troubles trying to get it to play nicely with iTunes. The Touch is currently version 1.1.5/4B1 (I believe updated to this sometime yesterday).
I am running iTunes v. 7.7.1 (11). When I connect the Touch to my iMac with iTunes running (even though I have it checked, just plugging the Touch in does not open iTunes) nothing happens for a long time and then I get a spinning beach ball which I have let go on for more than 20 minutes at one time.
The Touch and iTunes work fine independently. The last two times after force quitting iTunes, I have received the following error: iTunes could not connect to the iPhone (??) "" because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000035).
Does anyone know what this error is, & how do I resolve these issues?
<Edited by Moderator>

At least atm -
I have re-installed iTunes after restarting the iMac and then restarted again, the Touch connected and showed right away after that and I am happily, currently syncing.
If it goes bottoms up again, I'll be back!

I started working for ChaCha, and now firefox will not work unless I manually close it in the process tree every time I want to use it. I also cannot open more than 1 page at a time.

I started working for ChaCha 11/26/2010, I had to download a program to take incoming questions.
Ever since then, Firefox will not work correctly, even if I am totally logged out of ChaCha, and the page is closed, if I try to open my browser using Firefox, it will not open, I have to go into the processor tree and manually end Firefox, then it will work, but it will only let me open 1 page at a time. For example I have Firefox open now, but if I go and click on the icon to open it in a new browser, it will not open, I either have to close this, or use IE-I HATE IE lol.
I cannot use the ChaCha add on you have because it is not for the new version of Firefox, please help, I love Firefox, but not being able to open more than one window/page at a time does not cut it, nor does having to manually stop it from processing. I have tried re-installing it too.
Thank you, Melinda

I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.

I downloaded firefox 4 and it will not work on my Mac OSX4.11

I downloaded firefox 4 and it will not work on my Mac OSX4.11.

Very weird day in Firefoxland
First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

My University email uses outlook and firefox will not let the page open once i log into the university login. It used to work, but now just shows a completely white tab. My email works fine in other browsers. Why?

I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried to launch it. The message said that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OX. Please advise.

I downloaded Firefox 4 and installed it. When I tried to launch it, a message came up saying that Firefox will not work with this version of Mac OSX. Now I have no Firefox. How can I get Firefox 3.6 back on my Mac? How can I make Firefox 4.0 work? Please advise.

Thanks for the reply so quickly! Is the tenfourfox going to be be just as safe and as high of quality as the Firefox 4? Also since Mozilla's website says, "Firefox 3.6.x will be maintained with security and stability updates for a short amount of time. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Firefox 4" does that mean if I go back to 3.6 there will be security and stability issues after a "short amount of time"?

Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro

Facebook and Hotmail will not work on my Macbook pro. I have tried safari and firefox. I have unloaded and reloaded an old version of firefox and still no luck. When go to ebay it opens but looks very weird. I am using Mac OS X Version 10.6.6 with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I am so frustrated, I have tried everything I can think of and still no luck.

Good of you to offer the detail you did (a lot of people don't bother) but it still is not quite enough. Texting that it "looks very weird" just leaves me blank. Most basic remedy for browser issues is to use Safari to google "adobe flash" and download a fresh file & install. Can't think of anything else given what you've posted....

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

I bought a mic for my ipod touch 2nd gen and the mic works yet when its plugged in the speakers dont work, meaning i cant hear, so skype and other similar apps are un-useable, is there a way in which the mic and speakers will both work together?

Looking at the details for this mic, it appears that the app has to have the option to use the internal specak when a mic is plugged into the headphone jack. Specifically:
NOTE: When MityMic is plugged into your iPod/iPhone you won’t be able to use the onboard speaker for sound output. You must remove the MityMic then play back your recordings. (The Skype app has an option to enable the onboard speaker even when the mic is plugged in, so you could use MityMic for placing Skype calls. However most other apps do not have this function.)

I just spent an hour composing a reply in a thread ("Firefox will not work with paypal"), only to see "You don't have permission" at Submit - total loss!

I was logged in to reply in the thread "Firefox will not work with paypal". I spent the better part of an hour carefully composing that reply, testing cases, providing links, etc... [Hint: Firefox, unlike other browsers, has a problem with scripts from server paypalobjects.com.] Because I had taken so long to compose the reply, it seemed like a good idea to check it via the Preview button, but I got a message that that function was not available. Of course I decided to submit it anyway, but when I hit "Submit" I got a message "You don't have permission ..." - at which point I was (stupidly) on a different page with that message, and everything I had composed was gone!

It might be too late for this, but it's what I use when this happens. Prepare for deep nerdom:
* Open the web console below the error page by pressing Ctrl+Shift+k
* Right-click the blank area and turn on logging of the request and response bodies
* Resubmit the request by clicking the reload button
* Click the new URL that appears to open the viewer showing the headers and bodies
There you may be able to copy out the content of your post from the Request Body. You can use a word processor or text editor to find/replace the + characters back to spaces.

TS1362 I have a Mac Pro tower, am running osx and iTunes will not work.. It basically just stopped working after having run faultlessly for...years... I can see all the songs, playlists etc, but the progress bar will not progress..it's 'stuck'. Suggestion

I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is 'stuck'...any suggestions?

Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

HT4972 2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore? It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many of the Apps now available in the App store. Is there any way to find out which apps will work with 2nd generat

2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore? It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store? Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?

Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one.
