Location bar dropdown does not bring up web page
when I click the down arrow on the location bar to see the dropdown list of previous locations the list shows up but clicking on a link does not bring up the selected web site, also some of the sites on the list have garbled information ie: title of one page, address of another
You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

a link in a thunderbird message fails to activate firefox but if i copy & paste it in the ffx location bar, it goes to the linked web page. Also, some web page links are failing except that some will work if i use right-click with open in new tab. just updated ffx to 3.6.13, then updated java per mozilla notification (plugin checker)
Hi Larry,
Thanks...that was one of the things I first tried. I did a save as another document.
I also resized the image in PS so it would be at 100% of size, figuring that would help and I made the image box's background white instead of none, but nothing so far.
It almosat seems like it is coming from the origianl template file?

Hi
I have a windows 7 and whenever I play anything on Windows Media Player Classic, the middle mouse button does not work as a vertical scroll in firefox, but instead shows a horizontal scroll that does not scroll the web pages. How can I fix this problem?
I hope that was clear.

Comcast just replaced my cable modem/wireless router. All devices connect properly except my iPhone 4. It shows itself to be connected to the network, but it does not load any web page. Resetting the iPhone does not solve the problem. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your response.
I had rebooted the router (several times, actually), to no avail.
I do not know the answer to whether MAC filtering is enabled on the router. Have tried to find info about that, but unsuccessfully. Router is an Arris TG852G, supplied by Comcast. I would be surprised if MAC filtering were the issue, since in addition to the computer, we have successfully connected several other devices to the wifi, namely an iPad, a Android phone and a Kindle Fire - all able to access internet pages through the wifi, and all without a need to add the device to a MAC address whitelist. To add to the mystery, the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone 4 to my network and access web pages. He was unable to connect my iPhone, however, after trying for some time.
I seem to recall reading somewhere that an iPhone cannot connect to a wireless "n" router, only "b" or "g". The Arris router is described as a n/g/b compliant router, and as noted the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone, so don't know why that would be the issue here.
By the way, my iPhone does connect wirelessly to my network at home. This difficulty is at a second home.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated. -
Printing a web page works fine from the microsoft windows browser but fire fox browser will not print a web page only the heading at the top and the date and time at the bottom.
Does that happen on all pages or only on some?
You can try to reset the print prefs on the about:config page.<br />

Firefox location bar history does not clear
Problem: When I attempt to delete or clear the Location bar, nothing happens. The Location Bar remains fixed and does not update as I browse. This fixed Location Bar history still remains despite various methods of clearing it.
Specs: Running Firefox 3.6.8 on Windows Vista.
Details: Despite various methods, location bar history remains fixed and does not change or update as I browse. I wish for it to display an accurate history but it instead remains fixed. The only way to clear it is to open Tools > Options, and click on Nothing under Location bar suggestions. However, this renders the location bar useless for providing history.
- Selecting websites in Location Bar and pressing "Delete" or "Backspace" has no lasting effect. The website goes away while the Location Bar is pulled down, but reappears in the exact same spot when the Location Bar is viewed again.
- Clearing recent history, with time range set to everything and all options selected in the Details panel, does nothing.
- Pressing Ctrl-Shift-H and deleting all history does not clear Location Bar.
- While in History, highlighting any websites displayed on the Location Bar and telling Firefox to forget it does not clear the Location Bar.
- Running Firefox in Safe Mode still gives me the same problem. Location Bar does not change.
P.S. Location Bar does not display Bookmarks. There are no stars next to any web addresses despite changing Location Bar Suggestion settings to "Bookmarks".
I simply want to get my Location Bar back in working order, but have been unable to do so following the conventional methods suggested on Firefox Support. Thanks for your help!See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

On websites I visit daily – newspapers, Hotmail, etc, even though I have clicked "remember me on this computer", it does not work. I have to log in every time I have restarted my computer (Mac OSX 10.5.8). Also, this may be related. I have iGoogle as my home page, but "themes", location, widgets, etc are not saved when I shut down.

after updating to 3.6.10 firefox loads wrong web pages. Had to use explorer to get help. All web pages won't load just bookmarked pages.
Can you clarify something. Is it just bookmarks that you are having problems with, or do you get this problem when clicking on links or typing an address in the location bar.
If it is just bookmarks, a possible cause is a damaged places.sqlite file (the file that stores bookmarks), for details on how to fix that see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
If it is clicking on links, being re-directed on search engines etc, then this can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

XML child 'Title' does not show on web page
I have imported an XML file and when I launch the page the
title does not show.
The following is on my page but does not display "
<td><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Title>Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and
Fabulous</Title>xx </td>
The rest of the field do display and I can not understand why
'Title' Does not display.
Thanks for any help

The following is the code to display the data:
<cfloop index="MyCounter" from="1" to="#Counter#">

<td>#mydoc.Collection.DVD[MyCounter].ID#</td>
<td>#mydoc.Collection.DVD[MyCounter].UPC#</td>
<td>#mydoc.Collection.DVD[MyCounter].ProfileTimestamp#</td>
<td>#toString(mydoc.Collection.DVD[MyCounter]["Title"])#xx </td>
<td>#mydoc.Collection.DVD[MyCounter]["SortTitle"]#</td>

</Collection>I believe you want to print the XML node's text to a HTML
table cell. To do so you would change:
<td>#mydoc.Collection.DVD[MyCounter].ID#</td>
to
<td>#mydoc.Collection.DVD[MyCounter].ID.XMLText#</td>
Try appending ".XMLText" to your variables.
I would also consider droping the ToString method with:
<td>#toString(mydoc.Collection.DVD[MyCounter]["Title"])#xx </td>
to
<td>#mydoc.Collection.DVD[MyCounter]["Title"].XMLText#</td>
I don't know why you are invoking the toString() function
here and not on the other nodes. It only confuses me, and likely
you when you have to return to this code later, unless you are
trying to do something special with this node, like set your HTML
<title> tag.
If you are trying to set your document's <title> tag
then it should belong between the <head> tag of your document
and not inside your table, as a matter of semantics. -
It never had any problems before I upgraded to iOS6. Please help!
Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

Ipad 2 safari does not load my web page!
I am the webmaster of a simple html 4 page.
It loads fine with Safari using my iPhone 3GS, Safari for mac and Opera and other browsers.
I tested with my iPad today and to my surprise the page did not load at all! The screen remains blank and the loading indicator keeps spinning indefinately.
Can you see what is wrong? iPad bug? The page validates using
"http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.kvislasyndin.org&charset=%28detect+automat ically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0"
http://www.kvislasyndin.org
IngmarPlease disregard the problem above... NOW it loads just fine strangely enough. I am sure the URL was correctly written as no 404 turned up and I even copied the url to the validator. It also loaded fine using my iPhone simultaneously.

Safari not displaying some web pages properly why?
I have been finding of late that safari does not display certain web pages properly. i.e.: text overlaps other text and is not formatted properly. This seems to have become more common lately. Even Apple's own apple info page does not display properly. Could this be a setting in safari that I have messed up somehow?
Go step by step and test.
1. Delete Cookies
Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
Click the “Details” button.
Remove all cookies except from Apple, your internet service provider and banks.
2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
Turn on those one by one and test.
3. Delete Caches.db
Close all windows and quit all applications.
Hold "option" key down and click "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
Select "Library" from the dropdown.
Library > Caches > com.apple.Safari > Caches.db
Right click the Caches.db file and select "Move To Trash.
Close windows and relaunch Safari.
4. Empty Caches
Safari > Preference > Advanced
Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
5. Temporarily turn off Safari iCloud sync and test.
System Preferences > iCloud
Uncheck the box beside “Safari” and test. -
