More Firefox problems

I am not a frequent user of Firefox, but I have just noticed
a problem and have no idea how to fix it:
Any site with SWFs embedded into the HTML works perfectly.
But when there is a popup SWF or FLV (one not embedded in an HTML
file), Firefox tries to open it in Windows Media Player! I do have
popups enabled in Firefox. SWFs anf FLVs are registered properly in
the computer's registry (that is, double-clicking a SWF in Windows
Explorer correctly plays the movie in the Flash Player). Only SWF
or FLV popups in Firefox won't work.
So this is a Firefox-only problem. Any idea how to associate
SWF and FLV popups with the Flash Player in Firefox?

What version of FF do you have? 1.5 or the newly released
version 2?
In 2 it is
Tools -> Options -> Content -> At bottom of menu
there is an option for File Types and a button that says Manage.
I don't have 1.5 anymore but it is something similar.
If you havent upgraded to 2 yet, do so because there is many
enhancements and speed increase.

Suddenly, I've been put on multiple threads over multiple firefox problems, which is filling up my inbox. How do I get out of these?

Details? I posted a question about one problem (for which no answers have been offered, but that's okay) and somehow, I've become part of multiple threads about various firefox problems. I have no interest in any of these questions/problems.
How do I get out of these threads? I get about 15-20 emails a day! Firefox is by far the worst community I've even been dragged into....

Sorry you are having problems.
Have a look at your settings in the dropdown from the username or https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/settings
Not too sure what you could subscribe to accidentally that causes that behaviour though.
It would be interesting to know what option caused all the email. If something has gone wrong and you are getting e-mails that you should not be getting we can refer this to the admins to look into. The Firefox sumo community certainly does not intentionally spam, and if you are having a problem lets find out more, because others may have a problem and not have reported it.

I cannot download individual pictures from ebay. When I right click the picture (enlarged) or the small picture I don't get the option to "save picture as". Is this a firefox problem or a yahoo problem?

I always use firefox to browse the internet. When I attempt to save a picture from ebay I have always enlarged the picture, right click, the clicked "save picture as". Now when I right click I don't get that option. All it will let me do is save the entire ebay item file. When I right click on the enlarged picture, the small picture, or the white near the enlarged photo my icon choices are: 1.Copy 2. Select All 3.Yahoo 4. Search Yahoo for "Please wait imag" 5. View selection source. Is this a firefox problem or a yahoo issue? Please help. Thanks John

I've tried all kinds of different ways to make it work, and nothing! The only way I can get the pictures off ebay is open up a internet explorer window and go that route. Fire fox NEEDS to fix this NOW!

No More Resource problem

Hi:
I have a J2EE application using Connection Pool and JDBC.
I am using Weblogic 6.1 and JDK 1.3.1.
I am running into a 'No More Resource' problem. I did some debugging and think the cause is due to all my 80 database connections are used up so no new connection is available. But all the 80 connections shouldn't be used up because I did the statement.close() and rs.close() in the finally{} statement in all my DAO methods. But it seems like the connections are not released back to the free pool.
I thought I read something that I might need to do a conn.close() too in order for the connections to be returned to the pool and marked as available. Don't the statement.close() do that? Thanks for any help!
Stella

Any resolution on this? We're getting the same problem - using weblogic 6.1 and jdk131. We should never reach the max # of connections specified in the pool but periodically we do. Scraped through all the code and confirmed that for every connection we call ResultSet.close; Statement.close; Connection.Close in the finally block of the try/catch statements. But we still periodically reach the max. It's sporadic so we can't reproduce. Also, after we get the error and we check the weblogic console, we see the # of active connections drop back down below the max capacity (we have shrinking turned on). Any ideas?
thx.

New layout, CSS errors and Firefox problems

Hi
Could it be that some of the Firefox problems are caused by:
1) The wrong mime type for the CSS files? Currently it appears to be:
application/x-css
shouldn't it be
text/css
2) Errors in the CSS files and inline CSS of.

The border error on the download button has been fixed, but the alt attribute of the upper right search icon is still "faq", shouldn't it be "Search"

There are a number of fixes still to be made, but most of them will wait until our upgrade (still a few months out).

hello, maybe an addon or toolbar is inserting this code into websites - please try if sites load correctly in safemode & if so remove all extensions in firefox > addons > extensions, that you don't have installed intentionally or that might look suspicious (especially toolbars of all sorts). also have a look in the windows control panel / programs section and also uninstall toolbars etc. that are listed there...

This is a good question. It's possible your Xserver isn't configured for the correct mouse type. Try logging into a command line console (no X11 running). Run /usr/bin/X11/X -configure. It should create an Xorg configuration file in your root directory.
Copy this to /etc/X11/Xorg.conf and try restarting your Xserver. The file it creates might require some tweaking.

On a mac, I have lost the Scaler on Google map. I think that it is Firefox problem because the map scaler is present with Safari. Thank You

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Hey guys i wonder, is there 64 bit version of Firefox exist? I google that. And i find & download MineField. its cool but i like more firefox icon..:P

hi,
i wonder is there 64 bit version of firefox exist? or not?. I google that and i get Minefield. But i like more Firefox icon. If there is 64 bit version of Firefox exist, would u write me download address?
[email protected]
Thank you.

There is no released 64 bit version of Firefox. What you obtained is mainly for people testing plug-ins and to be sure that things work when it is available. You would not be able to do much without your plug-ins and they all have to be rewritten. Though Flash is now distributed with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions to Firefox users with 64-bit, so that is one major hurdle.

Can't read Adobe reader files, they are too faint to see; Works fine in IE, so it must be a Firefox problem.

Adober Reader and Firefox 4.0 beta 8 has a bug.
adobe reader brings up the .pdf's very faint, cannot be read. Using beta 4.0 8. Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe reader 10X. works fine in IE so it must be a firefox problem.

The website is www.lamppakuuma.com and the link that won't display is http://lamppakuuma.com/24%20Volt%20Computer.html. It is under our furnace section. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because this is my 1st website design and it used to work correctly.

Just giving a link isn't any good to anyone, no-one can see a link unless they start clicking on everything on the page. Can you tell us what words/image to click on?

Yet more TagLibs problems

As jato2 still doesn't know about some HTML4 tags like <label>
ex:
<label><input type="radio" ... />TheLabel</label>
if you click on "TheLabel", it clicks on the radio button, like every
other GUI
I thought I would be able use the <label for=""> as a workaround
<input type="radio" name="choice" id="choice1" /> <label
for="choice1">TheLabel</label>
BUT despite it generates several tags, <jato:radioButtons> sets the id
attribute to the same value for every tag :< This not only defeats my
workaround but also id main purpose to uniquely identity elements.
We really need a generic mechanism to specify attributes when jato tags
generate multiple HTML tags.
I can still change the generated tags in endDisplay but it be neat if
the 201 taglib was a little bit more XHTML compliant and savvy ;)

ps: release this part of the source code and we'll do it !

Give me until monday and I'll have what you "ask" for (WML/XHTML
Basic/Mobile as well as ViewBean).
Following Todd advices,
for the former, I am having new tags to render the same components. I
may need to write new components but I'm not sure yet.
for the latter, 1 pagelet per "rendering" type with an inner
ContainerView when the logic is different ; the pagelet tags being
surrounded by a homemade tag that "activates" the pagelet based on the
client type. A specialized tag seems better than <jato:content> as the
logic is wired.
Further step would be to make the tags client aware but I'm not sure
yet it is the right thing to do. Are tags "allowed" to store data in
the session (to avoid computing client type ever and ever) ?

PS: James Baty will confirm I'm not cheap ;?)

Is there anyway that we could talk with you about your WML efforts with
JATO?
I would love to get a sample WML app to show the world. And then have a
WML/HTML app to show multiple clients using the same ViewBeans.

Thanks for the info; I will look into a way of doing something
about
this.
However, please keep in mind that you can write your own complementary
tags
to render JATO components any way you like (or write JATO components
that
render themselves any way you like), and this is expected to be a
normal, if
infrequent, part of writing JATO 2.0 components.That's what I'm doing right now for the WML tags. But I was planning on
using the standard tags for mainstream HTML ;)
May you elaborate a little bit on complementary tags vs components ?
(first part of the suggested thread.
Until the 2.0 taglib is documented, you can use the 1.2.1 JATO
source
to
guide this effort.? It's actually pretty easy, but you will need the
source
to guide you without docs to that effect.? You can download the JATO
1.2.1
source, free of charge, etc. here:
???? http://iplanet.com/downloads/developer/5102.html
(If that doesn't work, just do a search for "JATO" on sun.com).? We
can also
start a tag-writing thread here if you like.
I would love to get your perspective on any XHTML shortcomings of the
current tag library.? Can you plase send your thoughts, list of
issues, etc.
to jatoteam@e...?you don't know what you've just asked ;)

I cannot print ANYTHING from email or internet at all; only from Word. Comcast and Kodak says it's a FireFox problem. I have work to print and cannot. All the letters are little square ones with 1 to 2 spaces in between each word.

Caused by a Bug in Firefox 4.0b12. It was fixed on Monday in the 4.0b13 pre "tester" nightly's. The fix will be in the 4.0 Release Candidate.

I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnafing glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnifying glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

This only happens when I'm in my browser. Ex. when I'm on a site and I decide I like what I see and want to print it text that is, my printer always prints tiny. When I'm in Microsoft Word for ex. I print it and it looks like what I expect. So I don't know if somehow my printer got set to print tiny when on the web. If you can help me I would be most appreciative. Thanks again for your response.
