.Mac Mail incompatible with Firefox?  Also, outgoing mail problems in Mail.

I run Firefox on my Apple as well as on the PC I have to use for work. When I visit my dotmac account and go to my mail, in Firefox on either of these computers, I can read e-mail but cannot respond or compose a new message. When I try to do either of those things, I just get a big empty, blank box that won't let me type in it.
I can compose and reply just fine on Safari.
I've been searching the web for discussion on this, but haven't seen any so I'm starting to wonder if it's something I'm doing wrong. My settings haven't changed, the old .mac mail worked just fine.
Any thoughts?
My second problem, which I believe is unrelated as it only started happening recently is my .mac account within the Mail app will not send mail. I recently had my system crash and had to erase the hard drive and re-install the OS. I saved my data with the Firewire disk mode and my iMac. But ever since, my .mac e-mail refuses to send mail. The User name and password are correct, the outgoing mail server is just like it always was. It tries to send the message then tells me the message can't be sent with the server smtp.mac.com

Try this-
Find Firefox preferences, and be sure that popups are not being blocked.
Not sure about that, but it sounds like popup problems.
In Apple Mail, try entering the smtp server for your ISP (comcast? roadRunner?) some ISP's force you to use their mail servers. (don' tchange anything about POP, just change smtp.mac....to smtp.[ISP's_servers]
Your password may need to be adjusted.
I know you say "like it always was", but something might have changed during your hard drive erasure.

  • Cannot log out of yahoo mail comletely with firefox for the past two week or so

    Recently I have been unable to log out of yahoo mail completely with firefox. I get the following error message: "The connection has timed out. The server at us.lrd.yahoo.com is taking too long to respond." I have more than one yahoo mail acct. and cannot log into a different acct until the first one is closed out completely. On the error message page there is "Try Again" button. This has occasionally helped but rarely.
    I have tried opening FF in safe mode but this has not helped at all. I have used two other browsers to access my yahoo mail to see it the problem was with yahoo or FF. Both browsers repeatedly logged out of yahoo mail without a problem.

    I don't think it's a Firefox issue. I switched to Chrome because the newest Yahoo Mail just doesn't work in Firefox, and Mozilla says its a Yahoo problem, which I believe. The email works great while I'm in Chrome, but I can't sign out without going to the Yahoo home page and using that sign out link. Conversely, I CAN sign out in Firefox (been flipping back & forth the past few days trying to figure it out). I just tried it in Internet Explorer and still can't sign out. I never had any Yahoo mail problems in any of these three browsers until the latest version of Yahoo mail came out, and now I just close the browser to sign out -- it's faster, for me anyway.

  • My AT&T/Yahoo toolbar is incompatible with Firefox 4. What can I do to get it back?

    I upgraded to Firefox 4 on Friday, May 6, 2011. After I finished that upgrade, I got a message that the yahoo toolbar add-on was incompatible with Firefox 4. I downloaded what I hoped was a new version on the AT&T toolbar and it seemed to work for a while, but on Saturday and Sunday my computer crashed several times. I used System Restore and then reinstalled Firefox 4. After a few crashes I decided not to enable the toolbar again. Will there be a version of the AT&T Toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 4? I use that toolbar to access my T&T mail, bookmarks and nearly all my internet browsing.

    yes and I tryed going back to my home screen by pressing my home screen button

  • Why is Norton 360 toolbar disabled and incompatible with Firefox?

    I recently switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox 26 - I have the most recent updates for both products, but my Norton toolbar will not enable - the add-on extension states it is incompatible with Firefox, even though the Norton site claims it is compatible. The Norton Vulnerability Protection was also disabled, but after checking for updates in the toolbox, it was enabled. Is my Norton working while browsing in Firefox, and when will my Norton toolbar be available?

    Norton just released information that they will support FF 27.

    I have been struggling with upgrading to FF 27 to get the Norton Toolbar. But I am not wild about the awesome toolbar. But it is better than Google Chrome and IE 9. I have Windows Vista.

  • HP smart web printing is incompatible with firefox 4.0. What can be done to resolve this issue?

    having recently upgraded to Mozilla's Firefox 4.0 it has disabled the 4.6 HP smart web printing saying it is incompatible with Firefox 4.0?  Is there any way around this inconvenience of not having the ability to use this terrific HP pdct as do not have ability to print from a website using their print feature nor simply selecting print on the Firefox browser?
    thank you

    Anytime that there is a browser upgrade, it affects add ons functionality. If it is in the works to make it compatible, then it simply takes time for our team to create the necessary changes. But, as history has shown, the changes are never as easy as you would think, and occasionally is not compatible without a complete rewrite of the program. If it is made compatible, it will be listed when available on the Web Printing homepage.

  • Trend-Micro NSC Firefox extension is incompatible with Firefox 10

    When I open the add-ons screen for Firefox 10, I get a faded out message that Trend-Micro NSC Firefox extension is incompatible with Firefox 10. I've contacted Trend Micro about updates and they said that it would be a few weeks before they release an updated version. Why do you release and force updates when important extensions are not ready?

    Apologies for the slow response.
    Firefox is on a time based release cycle, every 6 weeks we release a new version (more or less a few days). There are over 6,000 extensions available for Firefox, almost all of them from third-party developers. When Firefox switched to a new release cycle back in the beginning of 2011, all of those extension developers we notified of the change and how it would impact them. Some of them choose not to mark their software as compatible until it work for them. If Firefox were to wait until even 80% of the extensions were marked as compatible, there would never be an update. The responsibility to update add-ons is on the extension developer. Unfortunately, some choose to wait :/
    Now, all that said, Mozilla does want to ease the pain of upgrades, so there are lots of ways we are working to improve the update process. [http://blog.mozilla.com/futurereleases/2012/02/03/improving-the-firefox-update-experience/ http://blog.mozilla.com/futurereleases/2012/02/03/improving-the-firefox-update-experience/] has some of the changes we have launched in the past few weeks.

  • Acrobat X plugin incompatible with Firefox 7.0.1

    Firefox 7.0.1 plugin manager reports that "Adobe Acrobat-Create PDF 1.1" is incompatible with Firefox.  And, indeed, there is no Acrobat Toolbar visible on the main browser window.  Is that so, and why?

    Maybe a re-installation of Acrobat will put it back?
    No it won't.
    The problem is not with Adobe, but with Mozilla. They automatically disable  extensions until the developer certifies it is compatible with the new version, and in the case of binary XPCOM extensions such as the Acrobat Create PDF toolbar, it has to be recompiled from scratch for every major release of Firefox as the version number is coded into the headers. Even if you disable Firefox's compatibility checking, it won't run.
    With Mozilla's new rapid update policy, Adobe cannot possibly keep updating Acrobat every time Mozilla push a new version, and developers are not allowed to fake the compatibility header to refer to a future build. Each time Adobe do push an update to Acrobat (via the quarterly schedule) it can be expected to come with an extension compatible with whatever current (RTM) version of Firefox exists at the time that update code was developed. Given Adobe and Mozilla have wildly-different schedules, until Mozilla drop their rules on recompiling XPCOM the extension may be killed again in a matter of days, and there's nothing we can do to stop it.

    Go to settings on your iPad select store and look to the bottom of the screen - ensure it is your apple id shown as being logged on - if it not yours click on the apple id choose log out and then enter your details and password.
    If someone has entered their apple id on your ipad and automatic downloads are enabled you can be receiving apps they have purchased.

    I've updated my Firefox to 7.0.1 and have noted the greyed out message within the FFox add-ons that the ThinkVantage Password Manager is incompatible with Firefox 7.0.1   I have search for a fix or patch from Lenovo that address this issue with this version of FFox  but have not found any solutions. Does anyone have an ear to a possible solution? Thanks!

    Hi,
     There is a patch for FF support.
     Please check  the link below,
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Password-Manager-compatibility-issue-with-Fire...
    If you are using FF8.0 and it is not working after the patch is installed.
    To the following steps:
     Disable password manager extension from FF,
     And find the file "tvtpwm_jstypes.xpi" and drag it into FF to reinstall the extension.
     This file is usually in folder, "c:\swtools\css83_firefox5_patch"
