  • Despite my Javascript for Firefox 23 being "enabled" ( I checked re the "about:config" steps), some websites are still asking me to enable my Javascript.

    Despite my Javascript for Firefox 23 being "enabled" ( I checked re the "about:config" steps), some websites are still asking me to enable my Javascript to view content. Safari works without any problem. OS/X 10.8.4

    These files are hidden to me because my OS/X is 10.8.4 and I cannot make them appear. This is way, way more trouble than it's worth. Thanks for your help. Firefox has lost me.

    I have cookies enabled but some websites are still telling me I can't use them because I don't have cookies?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test. If the sites still don't work, they're incompatible with Safari. Use another browser, such as Firefox, to access them.

  • HT1338 all of sudden comcast and facebook pages do not load when i try to access them on my mac.  all other websites are fine. any one out there having the same issue?

    all of sudden comcast and facebook pages do not load when i try to access them on my mac.  all other websites are fine. any one out there having the same issue?

    That's just not right - I mean, it really wrong to have to use a Windows machine to access your Facebook account. Can you pull up Comcast on IE as well?
    Something's going on and I'm surprised that deleting your cache and cookies for those sites didn't work.
    Let me fool around a bit - what's your primary browser?
    Curious,

  • Some websites are working some wont open

    firefox wont open google or my sky email but will open sky main page?! ive cleared cache cookies etc no luck and run full avast scan..again no luck..now downloading panda activscan as recommended by firefox help but no luck so far. It will allow some other websites to open like ebay though??Any suggestions? thanks

    First, try to update to Firefox 11, it does have alot of security fixes and other bugs.
    Then, if you still are having other issues, read [[Websites look wrong]], does that help?

  • After update to Firefox 6.0 two websites are opening Welcome/Upgrade requests whenever I open the browser

    I found that " Read it Later" and " Lat Pass" are inveriably opening webpages whenever I open Firefox. This is annoying.
    Being disgusted I have ultimately uninstalled Firefox - though I have been using it for over 5 years.
    Another point - what is the point of version updates, where several Add-ons are incompatiable. Further the speed with which the browser opens is after all these updates remains alnost the same. There are other browsers having superior speed-
    Chrome or Opera. I note that even IE 8 is opening faster.

    Firefox 7 is latest, you should run a clean install
    * getfirefox.com
    Make sure you are using latest Lastpass Addon 1.75.0?

    Hi  manthan.pcs,
    If this issue just occurs after joining the domain, this would be related to the current group policy. You can use rsop.msc tool to check if you apply some Internet Explorer security setting, just like this one:

  • Some websites are downloaded very slowly from a user account but they are OK at admin in Win XP.

    In my Win XP computer I have an administrator account and a normal user account. Since a few days, certain websites (e.g. mail.yahoo.com) are very slow. Same websites are OK when I am in administrator account.
    Found and removed a few viruses but nothing changed. Also removed firefox and reinstalled without success.
    Another observation is that, sometimes plugincontainer.exe is crashing.
    Found a few virii
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://mail.yahoo.com

    Hello.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

  • Some website are not recongizing the latest update

    When I go to some website I get the message that I cannot browse their site because I don't have the latest version of Mozilla, I do I have downloaded it 20 times. I have rebooted my computer. Everything. I have many more sites than the one I listed. Facebook gives me trouble by not always keeping everything current.

    Looks to me as well as a corrupted user agent, so check out the Knowledge Base article in Ed's post and reset the pref <b>general.useragent.override</b> to the default (empty string) on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • No website is opening through firefox address bar how to solve this

    I think because of some virus or some configuration problem. The url which I type in the address bar is not opening. However I can search through google toolbar and google website. I get links when I click them website is opening but not opening through address bar also the suggestions are not loading in address bar. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox but same problem. Also after opening website the url of website is not visible in address bar

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />
