Javascript Mozilla Firefox problem

== Issue
==
I have feedback about Firefox or would like a new feature
== Description
==
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserWrite"); window.open('','_self'); window.close(); unable to trigger force close.
Hello Sir/Madam,
In a simple example as shown below:
Detecting browser close in IE
function ForceCloseWindow()
if(navigator.appName.toLowerCase()=="netscape")
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserWrite");
window.open('','_self');
window.close();
else
try
window.open("","_self");
window.close();
if(window || window.focus)
window.focus();
catch(e){
window.open("","_parent");
window.close();
This works flawless. But when I incorporate it in my JScript.js big project and call the javascript function ForceCloseWindow() it did not work :c
Error message of e.toString() states that 'A script from "http:" was denied UniversalBrowserWrite privileges.'
My question follows. How can I programmatically enable UniversalBrowserWrite privileges.
Thank you. Please advise.
I still love firefox from all the browsers..
Thanks Thanks.

Adobe Reader Installation Instructions for Mozilla Firefox problem

hello. i am trying to finish installing adobe reader, however, i get this request: "Mozilla Firefox will not install Adobe Reader from web sites until you add them to the Allowed List. Please follow the steps below."
and here is where the problem begins, the first thing i am told to do is to: "1. Look for a yellow bar at the top"
http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/dlm/images/step1.gif
and then to:
Click on the “Edit Options…” button in the bar to continue with download"
however, there is no yellow bar, [or any other colour], nore is there an "edit options" to select.
they simply are not there!!!
please help me!!!
thank you !!

Hi all,
It seems that Adobe DLM does not like the new firefox version I have tried on two machines, Vista 32bit and Winxp SP3, it quits on both machines between 60 and 94% (DLM crashes and shuts down) Manual install works
Is it just me ?
BEFORE any one says, I only use Firefox, I do not use Internet Exploiter (if I could convince the manufacturers of the install software I use to make a *nix or mac version I would get rid of M$ OS's

Mozilla Firefox problems with the forums

I just spent an hour trying to access the forums when using Firefox 12. It does not display the bar with the New Your Stuff history etc. It updated itself yesterday or the day before and since then it is impossible to use on this forum.
I just had a thought and tried IE9 64 bit and it works OK. Loaded the same url on Firefox and the bar with the welcome username was not there.
It shows that I am logged in under the search box but still asks for me to log in. I even contacted Customer support, but they could not help.
So if you have problems accessing the forum, use a different browser.

I tried to log in on the page and it would not accept my password as I was already logged in to Adobe. A new password made no difference, it still would not accept the password and username. Logging in with IE9 was no problem.
Normally when I click on the adobe forums link on the Dreamweaver help I am sent to http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver?lang=en_US on my default browser - Mozilla. For some days now I have not been sent there, but arrive on the Adobe main page, and have to search for the forums using their search feature. Perhaps there was a crossed or broken link?
However, today for the first time for a while, it seems to be all working fine. I did report the problem to Mozilla, but whether they did anything I do not know at the moment.
I will see if this continues to work properly and report back.
Best wishes
Howard

Mozilla Firefox problem

Heres the url:
http://www.knexgensolutions.com/
This site works fine in IE, but in Firefox the last button
drops to another line below and increases the table height. I need
all the buttons to remain on the same line. Help would be greatly
appreciated.

Hello,
I think the breaks in FireFox and Safari have something to do
with the merged cells to the right of the horizontal menu.
To be honest, it's hard to decipher the code because of all
the colspans, rowspans and spacer images that "Layout Mode" or
another "image to web" app bloats the code with. (I'm assuming you
didn't merge all those cells and add all those spacer images
yourself)
If you search this forum for colspan or rowspan or Layout
Mode, you'll find literally hundreds of threads with these types of
issues and people describing very similar problems.
Here's some good info on some of the trouble it causes and
why.
Spans are Evil
You might want to redesign the structure using tables and
nesting tables within cells instead of merging cells.
You could also do this using divs. Either way, you can use
CSS to control positions, spacing and so on, as well as using
background images instead of slices of images in adjacent cells
that break with an unstable layout.
If you want to stick with tables, you could easily create the
same layout design with one large table that has 1 column and 5
rows, then a couple of nested tables inside two of the rows. One
for your vertical nav and one for the horizontal.
You could also use text with CSS for your navigation and have
the exact same look without all the javascript and rollover images.
It would be a huge decrease in size of the page (k) which means a
faster download, and the search engines being able to index the
text. They can't read images.
Here's some great info on how to do that if you're
interested:
Listomatic
and
Project
Seven's Uberlinks
I wish I could have pointed out the specific thing the other
browsers are choking on, but again it's really hard to troubleshoot
that code. I hope this helps a bit.
Take care,
Tim

Hotmail and Mozilla firefox problems

Lately I have been having a lot of problems using these. The reply function in e-mail doesn't work at all. I was using Entourage and that was better but it has slowed down a lot as well. I would rather not use Safari as my Hotmail browser as it only allows the slower version.
Please help I am ready to give up on my Hotmail account.

You could try some basic maintenance if you haven't already done so:
/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility: "verify disk" -> if OK -> "repair permissions"
In Firefox: clear the cache, history, cookies; try disabling all extensions and, if that helps, re-enable one-by-one or in sets to eliminate problems.
Does the problem occur in other accounts? Create a test account in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.
Does the problem occur if you start up Firefox in "safe mode"?

ADF Faces af:showOneTab component - Mozilla Firefox problem

I'm new to ADF Faces.
I made simple subpage flow with showOneTabs component. It looks like thist:
<f:view>
<afh:html>
<afh:head title="title"/>
<afh:body>
<af:panelPage>
<f:facet name="pageHeader">
<af:form id="formNavigate">
<af:panelGroup type="vertical">
<af:showOneTabs position="above">
<af:showDetailItem text="Tab1">
<jsp:include page="sub1.jsp"/>
</af:showDetailItem>
<af:showDetailItem text="Tab2">
<jsp:include page="sub2.jsp"/>
</af:showDetailItem>
Subpages (sub1.jsp and sub2.jsp) looks like this:
<afh:html>
<afh:body>
<af:outputText value="sub1"/>
and it works fine. But only with IE. When try to swith to Tab2 in Mozilla Forefox 0.9 nothig happends. Anyone knows why.
Regards
bhs

Get rid of the <afh:html> and <afh:body> in sub1.jsp and sub2.jsp; you can't have <HTML> and <BODY> inside other <HTML> and <BODY> tags.

Applet can't load when using Mozilla Firefox and IE Tab

I have a page that includes an applet
I must include page within the IE Tab rules for auto procces because of design aspects
When the page loads, Firefox tells: load: class XXXXX not found
This very same page does not fail to load applet if not included in IE Tab Rules
I tried the latest versions of Firefox (3.0beta) and IE Tab(1.5)
It appears to be a Mozilla Firefox problem
But, any way, any idea?

I just discover Mozilla Firefox does not work with deprecated Applet tags.
I must use Object tags.
Since Netscape and Safari does not acept properly Object tags, i decide to use a javascript to switch between both methods.
Here a sample:
<%
CARPETA = Request.Form("UltimoArchivoCarpeta")
ArchivoProcesar = Request.Form("UltimoArchivoArchivo")
ArchivoProcesar = CARPETA & ArchivoProcesar
ArchivoProcesar = replace(ArchivoProcesar,"\","\\")
URLACTUAL = Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")
URLACTUAL = "http://" & URLACTUAL
%>
<script language="javascript">
var _app = navigator.appName;
if (_app == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer') {
document.write('<OBJECT ',
'classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"',
' width="0" height="0">',
'<PARAM name="code" value="JUploadApplet.class">',
'<PARAM name="archive" value="<%=URLACTUAL%>/java/ddsApplets.jar">',
'<PARAM name="file" value="<%=ArchivoProcesar%>">',
'<PARAM name="urlUpload" value="<%=URLACTUAL%>/VENTAS_UPLOAD/ConfirmarUploadPedidos.asp">',
'<PARAM name="urlRedir" value="<%=URLACTUAL%>/VENTAS_UPLOAD/MostrarPreviewArchivo.asp">',
'<PARAM name="urlFault" value="<%=URLACTUAL%>/SimpleError.asp">',
'</OBJECT>');
else { 
document.write( '<APPLET code="JUploadApplet.class"',
'archive="<%=URLACTUAL%>/java/ddsApplets.jar"',
' width="0" height="0">',
'<PARAM name="file" value="<%=ArchivoProcesar%>">',
'<PARAM name="urlUpload" value="<%=URLACTUAL%>/VENTAS_UPLOAD/ConfirmarUploadPedidos.asp">',
'<PARAM name="urlRedir" value="<%=URLACTUAL%>/VENTAS_UPLOAD/MostrarPreviewArchivo.asp">',
'<PARAM name="urlFault" value="<%=URLACTUAL%>/SimpleError.asp">',
'</APPLET>');

Problemas com o Adobe Flash Player no Mozilla Firefox

Olá,eu estou tendo um problema muito irritante com o Adobe Flash Player,mas apenas no Mozilla Firefox,oque acontece? bem vamos por partes para "você" ou "vocês" entenderem:
Eu tenho um jogo de browser chamado "Dead Frontier" ele é um MMORPG e não precisa ser instalado no computador,apenas requer o Adobe Flash Player e o Unity Web Player...pois bem,jogo esse jogo a anos no Mozilla Firefox,nunca tive nenhum problema como este...que parece ser impossível de se resolver ao meu ver...
Vamos lá,tenho algumas imagens que podem ajudar a entender o que está havendo:
Qual o problema?na página inicial deste jogo sempre se executa um vídeo trailer do próprio jogo,mas de uns tempos pra cá(questão de 1 mês ou mais que isso começou)vem aparecendo esta mensagem no lugar do vídeo(sim tive de usar o paint,para facilitar os detalhes):
http://i.imgur.com/IfmyJdq.jpg
Enfim,isso veio do nada,assim sem mais nem menos,o que eu fiz?várias coisas,desinstalei o flash player várias vezes e instalei de novo,verifiquei se o Mozilla estava atualizado(e estava e ainda está),FORMATEI o computador para ver se dava um fim nesse maldito problema que já está me deixando maluco,no fim das contas,nada disso resolveu,recorri a vários fóruns,até recorri ao fórum do próprio Adobe,e eles parecem não conseguir resolver isto...
Vamos aos pequenos detalhes que observei deste problema,sempre que vejo vídeos(do youtube) ou jogo este jogo,percebo alguns ruídos,"som travando" por pequenos períodos,eles não ficam o tempo todo,mas se repetem....e isso irrita,e MUITO....
Percebi este pequeno símbolo lá em cima,no canto esquerdo da barra de endereço do site,um pequeno aviso triangular cinza,dêem uma olhada(só aparece neste site,este pequeno aviso triangular):
http://i.imgur.com/CZQ8dw0.jpg
Seria esse o problema?e se for,como resolver?
antes de mais nada,vou adicionando mais coisas antes que falem,sim já desativei o adblock pra ver se resolvia,nada,sim tenho o javascript atualizado,Flash player atualizado....pra vocês verem de tudo que eu ja tentei,isso parece ser uma missão impossivel...repito de novo,o computador foi formatado recentemente....
Já testei isso em outros navegadores,como o IE,chrome...isso não acontece com eles,o video executa normalmente,o som sai limpo,sem nenhum ruido ou qualquer travada...mas sempre tive minha preferência pelo Mozilla Firefox,como já disse,sempre joguei este jogo no Mozilla mesmo,nunca aconteceu isso....nunca mesmo.
Enfim,relatei meu problema,espero que alguém entenda e consiga me iluminar aqui,por que sinceramente,já estou cansado disso,estou quase desistindo...sério mesmo,já tentei tudo....a solução até pode ser simples,mas a dor de cabeça está insuportável.
Obrigado pra quem teve a paciência de ler tudo!

ESET NOD 32 cannot scan past this point. I keep getting stuck at 56% at the following; C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\ Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending. Is this a problem with NOD32 or with Firefox? Thank you.

I ran into a glitch on my system that I tried to fix myself. My NOD32 was always showing the yellow warning circle as my protection status when I started my computer. I tried to fix this every way I new how.
Then I started to get pop ups asking me to fix and then send system error reports to Windows. Some stating they were '''''critical.''''' So I sent NOD32 the e-mail below.
'''Me:''' I cannot seem to run a complete system scan. I keep getting stuck at 56% at the following point. C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\
Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending
I also keep getting messages to send error reports to Microsoft constantly. I also have this code C:\pagefile.sys-error opening
Thank you for your assistance.
'''Their solution:'''
Based on the information you provided, we recommend that you upgrade to latest version of ESET NOD32 Antivirus and see if this makes a difference.
Please click or copy/paste the following ESET Knowledgebase article into your web browser for step-by-step instructions:
'''Me''' : I did as they requested and am fully upgraded and licensed with their new edition.
Ran a new scan same problem.
I sent them a new e-mail but now wonder if it is a Firefox issue as, C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\
''Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\Pending'' this is where the scan stalls.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Try delete the files in Pending folder and make the scan again, do not be afraid to delete the files see : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/679996
thank you

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your program", while I don't have one running at that time. What is the problem?

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your system". As a matter of fact, there is no firefox browser running at that time. Since I cannot do anything about it, I have to restart my computer before I can use the web browser, which bothers me dearly. What is the problem?

Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting to close Firefox. The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window, it does not necessarily close Firefox .
'''The only proper way to exit Firefox is to use Exit through the File menu''', not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
''Menus hidden: then use Alt+F then X.''

Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "Processes"
tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
"'''Restartless Restart'''" extension for Firefox 4.0 only (2 KB download )

use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching
to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry
about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Uses keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.
'''Windows 7''' users can use '''Ctrl+Shift+Esc''' to get to the Windows Task Manager quicker than starting with Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Thank you guig2! Followed your bleepingcomputer.com link above and found the problem was my permissions on C:\Users\Bill\AppData\Local/Temp. It was not "Full Control" for my User or Administrator. Updated the two lines to permit full control for folder, subfolder and files. Ran perfect.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
