Farmville will not load using Firefox, but it will with IE, for over a week now.

Farmville will not load using Firefox, but it will with IE, for over a week now. I have cleared the cache and cookies multiple times, updated flash player, did a virus and malware scan, allowed java script, allowed mozilla in the Windows firewall, contacted Zynga multiple times, and yet Farmville still will not load using Firefox, my main and preferred browser. I'm very frustrated and want this fixed.

Thanks for the advice cor-el, but if you would read the info I posted, I already did that, SEVERAL TIMES. That's not the solution unfortunately.

A URL will not load in Firefox (it does nothing) but will load in Safari; some other URLs also have a similar problem.

In Safari with the above website, I cannot "View Source". Also, I have the same problem viewing images of patents at the USPTO, again probably a similar problem. Perhaps the web address isn't HTML but is an image format not supported by Firefox. Perhaps there is a plug-in or add-on that will be able to read the image, but should probably be included in the main Firefox release since it seems to be fairly common.

A twitter widget on my website will not load in firefox but will load in every other browser I've tried. I have tried several versions of firefox. Here is the code I am trying to run:
<code>
new TWTR.Widget({
version: 2,
type: 'profile',
rpp: 5,
interval: 6000,
width: 'auto',
height: 265,
theme: {
shell: {
background: '#333333',
color: '#ffffff'
tweets: {
background: '#000000',
color: '#ffffff',
links: '#4aed05'
features: {
scrollbar: false,
loop: false,
live: true,
hashtags: true,
timestamp: true,
avatars: false,
behavior: 'all'
}).render().setUser('ShawnC4Real').start();
</code>
And the first thing I checked was that scripts were enabled.

Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc?

Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc? Checked for malware, cleared cache, re-installed Firefox, disabled add ons, enabled java, updated flash and shockwave, etc.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Mailbox will not load in firefox 4

The tiscali mailbox will not load within firefox 4. I am able to log into the mailbox but once logged in I cannot access the inbox or any other function apart from email composition. Attaching a file to an email also produces a 500 error within the upload window.
I have contacted Tiscali/TalkTalk support and they have directed me to you as they claim it to be a browser issue. I have no problems with this website in IE or in Firefox 3.
I have not been able to solve the problem by disabling all addons.

anyone?

Videos will not load in Firefox only. Have reinstalled, restored, etc.

Videos (from YouTube, Facebook, websites, etc.) will not load in Firefox. I've tried reinstalling Firefox, restoring all settings to default, disabling all addons, extensions, etc. When I try to load a video, a dark rectangle appears where the video should and my cursor just shakes. In Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc. the videos load and play with no problems, no hesitation, so it must be some setting or some bad file with Firefox, but I feel like I've tried everything.
I'm using Windows 7 on an HP laptop. I've checked my Firefox settings against those on my desktop PC and can find no variances. This problem is driving me mad, so please help.....
Thanks.

You can also disable hardware acceleration in Flash: 
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

Websites will not load in Firefox for Android Lollipop unless Request Desktop Site is selected.

Starting on March 20th, both my Nexus 4 and my Nvidia Shield tablet will not load past around 15% for any website unless I select Request Desktop Site. This only seems to be a problem when the devices are connected through wireless data. Wi-Fi is unaffected by this issue.
I've force stopped Firefox, I've cleared data and cache, and I've removed / re-installed Firefox. i've also rebooted the devices a few times. Google Chrome is also working fine.

Build 36.0.3 Just arrived on my device and seems to have corrected the problem.
UPDATE: This only lasted for the rest of the night. By the next day, the issue had returned.

Disney Jr coloring pages will not load using Firefox on my iMac, using Safari the pages will load.

I have a Apple iMac desktop computer that is about a year old, when using Firefox to access the Disney Jr. website the only problem I have is the pages that need to be printed to color will not load, the rest of the site works as it should. When I use Safari to access the same website there are no problems, I prefer to use Firefox as my browser of choice.

Online card security Verified by Visa and Mastercard Securecode will not load since Firefox updated so unable to make purchases using Firefox.

The additional Fraudsafe security feature used by Mastercard and Visa when buying products will not load since the Firefox update so no purchases can be made and I have to swap to using Internet Explorer instead :(

Pogo games will not load with firefox 3.6

1 Mar 11 firefox automatically upgraded to version 3.6.14, This version is incompatible with running pogo games. I have two machines that I needed to re-install firefox 3.5.17 in order to run pogo

I too have the same problem. I went back to an older version of firefox in order to get my pogo games to work. I would imagine that any site using the java applets will not work with firefox. There is something in the new update that causes the applet to crash or break when started in the newest full version of firefox. I hope they get this bug fixed soon, I like to keep my software as up to date as possible.
