Javascript buttons and links no longer work in Firefox after latest update

Whenever I try to use a javascript button or link, nothing happens, I just get a message in the bottom bar such as: "javascript:window.close();" telling me what the command is, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I cannot close windows in social security or in any other program using javascript. This has happened since the last upgrade to Firefox 11. I even tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling (using the Mozilla instructions to '''completely''' remove Firefox) a fresh Firefox eleven, to no avail. I made sure javascript was completely enabled in tools/options/content

I have a similar problem like this. I dont know what the deal is but since some type of either add on upgrade or firefox upgrade i get notifications to install flash when i try to launch anything from google music. I did everything you can think of including uninstalling, reinstalling both the add on "No Script" Firefox itself, ran several diagnostic programs to ensure it wasnt any type of malware, reinstalled Adobe Flash 11, Verified Java version. I even tried to play music from google music in IE8 and that worked so its clearly Mozilla and its add ons. I disabled No Script and Google Music miraculously started working fine. This is pretty irritating considering I do everything in my power to ensure I dont get hit with any type of malware, virus, spyware, etc and No Script is definitely an Add on i like to use for that very reason since Firefox no longer supports the Norton Web Tracker add on. Any fix for this foolishness would be great, thanks!!

  • Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. Only getting sound, can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

    Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. I'm only getting sound no video can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
    I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

  • Facebook and Slacker no longer working with Firefox. Still work with Explorer. Until a week ago problem did not exist.

    I am for about one week not able to input information on Facebook. Also the Facebook page appears in a huge font. Regarding Slacker I do not see any available online radio stations. Until about a week ago everything worked fine. At present I can work with Internet Explorer, but at present can no longer work with Firefox.

  • Meid no longer working with ting after recent update

  • Flash no longer working on Firefox after update

    Moments ago I installed the Flash update after it came up on my screen asking to update, after doing so Flash is no longer working on Firefox, it works fine on other browsers. I cant view videos, look at flash objects etc. It was working perfectly fine before up untill the update. Anybody know how to resolve or fix this issue?

    Dear Chris:
    Yes, turning off Protected Mode indeed solves the problem!
    Specifically, we today (June 9, 2012) installed the new Adobe Flash v. 11.3.300.257 on several Windows 7 PC's, all running Firefox v. 14 (Beta), and none of the Firefox installations would confirm that the installation was performed successfully.  For example, the Adobe Flast test/about site, https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about, would not work.  And, likewise, YouTube videos and other Flash-encoded videos did not work either.
    So, we tried your suggestion to disable the new Protected Mode, and it worked.  That is, every single machine on which Flash did not work in Firefox now functions perfectly.  So this conclusively demonstrates that there indeed is some kind of bug in the implementation of Protected Mode.
    Can you please let me and the other Adobe users know when this is fixed.  Thanks.
    Also, could you likewise let us know the risks of turning of Protected Mode (although we really don't have any choice, as Flash will not work on Firefox with PM turned on).
    Thank you.  Much appreciated.
    Kind regards,

  • MobileMe preferences button and menu doesn't work with Firefox 4 on Mac OS X 10.6.6

    When I login to my MobileMe account I have two buttons on the top right of the page: Preferences and My Account name.
    Both I can select but when I do I cannot press either one of the menu entries that show. So I cannot change anything or create folders in iDisk for instance. All did work on Firefox version 3.6. It also works on Safari.
    What settings do I have wrong? I like Firefox more than Safari.
    Thanks.

    You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

  • Spell check no longer works in Safari after iOS5 update

    After updating to iOS5 on my iPad2 yesterday, the spell check feature no longer works in Safari when using the Apple Wireless Keyboard.  It works in all the other applications I've tried, such as Pages and Mail.  It's a real bummer, especially if writing a blog.  Any help or suggestions?  Spell check worked fine before the update.  (Spell check still works in Safari with the on-screen keyboard, just not with the Apple Wireless Keyboard - Safari seems to be the only application effected so far)  Thank you.

    Update: After rebooting my macbook - Moves now playing. TV shows bought using a different apple ID account still does not work even though they did before.

  • Display no longer wakes from sleep after latest updates

    G4 Quicksilver 933, nVidia Ti, 1.5GB, 20in Cinema Display
    I applied the latest updates that were pushed out recently (10.5.2 and the "Leopard Graphics Update") and now my Apple display will not properly come up when I wake the box from suspend.
    That is, it starts and runs fine, but if it goes into sleep, upon waking it will (sometimes) flash the contents of the desktop, and then go black. The litte green light is on. Happens from a logged in session, or from the main login screen.
    I have to hit the reset or power button (or login via SSH and issue a shutdown) to get it to work again.
    I only have a single monitor.
    I tried:
    o Powering the monitor off and on, both from the switch and by pulling the power cable
    o Pulling the DVI cable and reinserting it
    o Resetting NVRAM
    o Re-applying both the 10.5.2 combo installer and the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 in order
    o Waving a magic wand... I mean, fixing permissions
    o Changing the display resolution a few times
    o Running fsck a few times (only because all these unclean shutdowns are making me nervous)
    o Hitting the "Detect Displays" button in the Displays Prefs panel...
    Aha! Hitting that button causes the display to flash and then go dark. I have to power cycle the unit to get the monitor to come up again.
    I do have the special build option of the faster video adapter which was available all those years ago. It's quaint now, sure, but it was a fast card back then.
    I'm stumped. It's surprising how something like this can turn a perfectly reasonable desktop into a boat anchor.

    This Discussion is marked as Answered, but with my apologies to the other respondents, it is NOT. There is a problem. The software/hardware do NOT work as they are supposed to. Apple needs to address this problem immediately. Mac Book Pro will not wake from sleep when connected to a Cinema Display 23". The problem lies in the most recent operating system updates. Before the update the products worked as advertised, since then they do not. Period.
    With all due respect, I am the one who posted this, and I marked it "answered." Yes, there very well may be a problem with the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 (what a mouthful! I dub it "LGU v1.0" from this point on.), but this is so far only a hypothesis.
    I found an immediate workaround which suits my purpose. If this does not suit the purposes of completely foreign (to this discussion) symptoms related to Intel-based Apple laptops and external displays, then so be it. I recommend splitting off your own symptoms to a new thread.
    Certainly, my reading of the symptoms described after I posted mine mostly do not sound like what I ran into at all. For example, I never once said that my computer had problems waking from sleep. I said the /display/ had problems waking/starting up after sleep, and this is probably related to the "detect displays" mechanism that the OS uses to find attached displays when it comes out of suspend. Even if this is my misunderstanding it does not matter, since this is how it comes across to a reader. This may indicate that someone may want to clearly and carefully describe /exactly/ what they are seeing, and the steps they took in order to come to any conclusions they might have.
    This will help Apple, and it will certainly help others that search these threads with their own similar but different issues they need solved.
    If there is a common reproducible issue related to displays and the most recent update(s), then Apple already knows about it, or soon will. As far as my immediate needs are concerned, this is answered.

  • Realplayer quit working in firefox after downloading updates

  • IPhone 4 has collapsed lock button and Wifi no longer working. Replacement?

    Hello and thanks for any help in advance.
    Recently my iPhone 4's lock button collapsed and it is now longer functioning. In reaction to this I visited the Genius Bar and they informed me that it could not be repaired and that I was required, due to my warranty being up, to pay £120 for a replacement. This was as much as I expected at the time. However, shortly afterwards the wifi connection stopped working and my iPhone can no longer sustain connection outwith 2m from the router.
    I then phoned my insurance company with this problem, and they informed me that I willbe unable to claim for a replacement as it is a manufacturing defect and not damage. Despite my warranty being up, is there any grounds for argument that such a hardware defect, outside of my control, is reason to claim for a free or reduced price replacement from Apple?
    I am unsure where I stand. I have had this phone since May 2011 and it seems ridiculous that a phone that comes with a 2 month contract cannot last, without accident, for the same duration.
    Thanks again,
    Jamie

    The device comes with a 1yr warranty when purchased new, that's it.
    Whether there is one or multiple problems with the device is irrelevant.  The fact that a hardware failure occurred outside the warranty period is also irrelevant.
    Your options are:
    Live with it.
    Pay the Out of Warranty cost to get a replacement unit
    Purchase a used device online
    Purchase a new device at full retail cost.
    Apple has nothing to do with and did not force you to sign a 2yr contract.  The vast majority of users never have a hardware issue.  The fact that your device has experienced two hardware failures is merely a fluke.

  • Some buttons and links stopped to work

    Suddenly some buttons in webpages which I had been using every day, stopped to work today! There was no change in the system (mac os x 10.4.5) neither in the iBook and Safari. Anyone here already experienced this problem ?

    Have you managed to resolve this webs66? I had the exact same thing happen to me. On my mac, I have no way of accessing the Apple TV. There is no software on my machine and it is not being recognized by iTunes. When connected to my TV it simply shows a graphic that I need to connect it to iTunes. Is the only way to have it recognized by connecting a microUSB to USB? Will HDMI not work?

  • Links no longer work in Outlook since FF update

    This morning (10/22/10) FF was updated - now at 3.6.11. Previous to this I could click on a link in an Outlook email and be taken to the page in FF. Now it just pulls up a window with programs listed and doesn't go to FF.
    I verified that FF is still my default browser.

    Hi
    No such issues has been reported, could you please elaborate the query in detail so that I may look into the issue?
