Mozilla Firefox problems with the forums

I just spent an hour trying to access the forums when using Firefox 12. It does not display the bar with the New Your Stuff history etc. It updated itself yesterday or the day before and since then it is impossible to use on this forum.
I just had a thought and tried IE9 64 bit and it works OK. Loaded the same url on Firefox and the bar with the welcome username was not there.
It shows that I am logged in under the search box but still asks for me to log in. I even contacted Customer support, but they could not help.
So if you have problems accessing the forum, use a different browser.

I tried to log in on the page and it would not accept my password as I was already logged in to Adobe. A new password made no difference, it still would not accept the password and username. Logging in with IE9 was no problem.
Normally when I click on the adobe forums link on the Dreamweaver help I am sent to http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver?lang=en_US on my default browser - Mozilla. For some days now I have not been sent there, but arrive on the Adobe main page, and have to search for the forums using their search feature. Perhaps there was a crossed or broken link?
However, today for the first time for a while, it seems to be all working fine. I did report the problem to Mozilla, but whether they did anything I do not know at the moment.
I will see if this continues to work properly and report back.
Best wishes
Howard

Problems with the forums -- Oracle personnel please escalate

I'm sure many have posted this somewhere, but in case they haven't -- the forums aren't rendering code snippets, which looks like xml, properly. In some cases, its eliminating them altogether, in others, it cuts out big chunks, in others it replaces some xml markup with smilies. The result is that its rendering tons of posts and information in them as totally useless.
If I had to guess, this is because the forums aren't rendering using rawText or something like this, but at the very least, until the problem can be totally fixed, turn off smilies. Smilies are nice, but next to code which document answers, they are unimportant.
Thanks,
B

Shay,
"We did report it to the people in charge, and they asked that feedback will be posted on the feedback forum."
I understand your personal plight, and I thank you for passing on the information as you were told. But what I'm talking about is kind of big-picture stuff, pertaining to Oracle as a whole. It encompasses not only the issue of the new forums, but support of any product, be it on forums or metalink, documentation, examples, etc. The frustration coming out that I see seems to have a central theme: Oracle having a "fend for yourself" mentality to their customers.
Someone posts on the forums, can't get an answer, so they are told "these are for user communication". Then they are told "go post a tar". Then they post a tar and are sent a document they've already read. Then others have said that tars won't address how-tos. Then the JDev forums have problems, and users give feedback, and the response is "go post this somewhere else.".
This looks like continually passing the buck, propagating an internal bureaucracy to for users to have to understand how to navigate, and forcing upon your users the responsibility for facilitating communication within Oracle. I think Oracle really needs to work on putting themselves in the shoes of their customers, and change the self-centric attitude. I highly doubt that Oracle treats their customers with respect to accounts receivable with the same apparent lethargy they treat customers with respect to support.

Some problems on the forums / Reward points

Hi there,
I just want to mention that I actually realize two problems with the forums / reward system:
1.) For some threads in a category overview, in the column "Last Post" in fact the initial post date is given. Nevertheless, the threads are sorted correctly, but it is disturbing. At this moment, this can be seen in Category EP (/community [original link is broken]) for the thread "Netweaver Developer Studio - SAP Enterprise connector error".
2.) Within my "Total points" overview, I realize that I got 6 points for my answer within this thread https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/collaboration.sdn?node=linkFnode6-1&contenttype=url&content=https:///thread/14351 [original link is broken], but looking there, all stars are empty.
Hope it helps to determine some problem areas,
best regards
Detlev

Hi Mark,
next problem:
3.) Number of replies in the category overview does not fit. Example: Category WAS, /community [original link is broken] thread "UIElement does not have a label", replies by overview: 1, replies in fact: 2.
Best regards
Detlev

I had an issue when trying to register with the forums, but I am having problems speaking someone because I am not a "registered" member?

Dear forum member(s), I was excited at the possibilities that Firefox offered. I have been looking forward to researching on the forums, but I made a blunder when registering.
I changed my email password some time ago and forgot that I had done so. I also have a second email which is similar to my address I was registering and I think I was actually using my the second email information until I caught the mistake.
Shortly thereafter I received an email with my user ID but no password. I had been assuming that I would receive a onetime computer generated password, but I wasn’t sure how things were supposed to go. After closely studying the language of the email, I was led to the conclusion that I would login with my original information I had provided.
My final attempt to register failed and I can’t explain why. I am positive that I had the right user id and password and now I am in limbo. I registered with the "Add-ons" section in 15 minutes. I was never told I was banned, but I was never told I am now a member. Thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
reel4

Not at all. I have never posted to the forums. The only thing I have written is what you see in this thread. I registered at add-ons section and things were fine. I wanted to use the forums, because I like to learn what I can. The problems began when I tried to register at the forms. At first, I thought my login from add-ons would work at the forums. It didn't. I honestly don't know if there is separate login and validation for each firefox/mozilla section.
When I attempted to register with the forums, I messed up when trying to login because I made too many attempts. I was either using another password from a second email or I misread those weird words they use to make sure you are not a bot.
I don't know what exactly was written but they basically wanted to take a look at things. I felt that was reasonable. After all - I felt like a moron for not being able to read those contorted word tests.
Then they sent me my user id but with no new password so I assumed my current password was the same as the one I originally gave. Long story short, I tried to login again- all three times I failed. They never banned me or told me anything. I have not heard from anyone or thing. To It's like they have just walked away. I just don't understand what has happened and why no one will tell me anything. So... no - I am not banned. When I do bet blocked after I logoff, it has the same effect as a ban. I guess I have been ousted. I just wish this I could get this matter resolved. I changed my password and email so maybe that will keep around.
It's a strange situation and I am at loss for words. I even wrote the forum people an apology letter describing the facts above in details and apologizing for the inconvenience. I actually apologized for being an idiot.
One last thing - at the outset of the post - I told you they gave me one last opportunity to login and it failed. I know for a fact I had the information correct. I had even written my password somewhere else on the screen to where I could see each character to verify the pass word was correct and then cut and paste.
James - who knows what the future holds but I must thank you my friend. At the very least, I could tell my story. It is all so strange.

I am having a problem with the FireFox browser. I have attached two files that best describe the problem. I have labeled them A & B. A is the way it should look and B is what happens after I have I opened several tabs. I can get it back to normal if I click on VIEW than click on customize. When the customize window appears FireFox returns to its normal state. I than click on the done box and go back to what I have been doing. I tried resetting FireFox back to default settings, but that did not correct the problem.
This began happening about a month ago. Is there a way I can fix this problem? Thanks for your help.I don't know how to attach my 2 attachments that shows the problem I am having.

Since Firefox 32.0 was downloaded on 3/9/14 I am experiencing brief hanging when clicking onto websites or links. Is this a problem with the new version of Fire

If I click onto any link or webpage I am quite often getting a briefing 'hanging' before Mozilla responds. I also get a message at the top of my screen stating that Firefox is not responding and the loading symbol justs spins in circles until it eventually frees up and opens the page. Prior to Firefox 32.0 being downloaded on 3/9/14 I had no problems with this 'hanging' at all. I can only assume it is a Firefox issue as I do not have the same issues if I use Internet Explorer or any other programs installed on my computer.

You can check for problems with the history that is stored in the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Since the most recent Firefox update 3.6.8 my banking institution no longer shows as having a secure encrypted connection, however, my bank assures me all is well with their certificates and that is a problem with the new Firefox browser update, can you give me some idea why it is doing this?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Right after the new Firefox update

Hello Anne.
Can you please try it in a new (temporary) Firefox profile and see if the issue is still present? See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles this article] to know how to create a new Firefox profile. Please report back the results.

Is Anyone Having Problems with the newer version of Firefox?

I still have my older Mac OsXv10.4 Tiger software. I wasn't exactly happy with Safari browser as it would block many sites and were considered incompatible so I downloaded the free Firefox browser (the 2.0 version) of which I STILL have. I'm aware that there is a much newer version and would like to download that, but I've heard a lot of people saying they have been having severe problems with it, but then they have PCs and not Macs.
So my question is for you Mac users that use Firefox, have you had major problems with the newer version? I'm real hesitant to download if I'm going to have the same problem PC users are having...like constantly crashing. Also would my old Tiger software be compatible? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard.

Yes. I had problems with Firefox 3.5. The primary problem was very slow or never-ending loading of certain websites (particularly secure sites and sites with many features). I also have had similar, but not as bad, problems with Safari 4. I never had these problems with Safari 2 or Firefox 2. It just seems that with each update, the problems increased for me. I have read the Safari and Firefox forums and tried many fixes with little improvement. I have come to the conclusion that there is some kind of compatibility problem between the latest versions of Safari and Firefox and Shockwave Flash and/or Javascript and OS 10.4, particularly on PPC Macs. I expect there are many who will disagree and I cannot argue or prove the point. This is just my opinion. And I recognize that my problems could be caused by my setup and not by the browsers. By the way, I do not use any add-ons with any of my browsers. Anyway, I got tired of dealing with it and installed the latest version of Camino about 2 weeks ago. I also did a clean install of Firefox 3.0.13. Camino is working out great for me. It is simple and it works. No problems at all. So currently I am using Camino as my primary browser and Firefox 3.0.13 as my backup. I hope this helps.

Is there a problem with the Firefox synch server?

I have three installations of Firefox 4.0.1 on two machines (two fixed, one PortableApps). They are all set up to synchronise.
Since yesterday, all are showing an error at the bottom of the window saying "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Server incorrectly configured. Please try again."
I've made no configuration changes to the synch in the last few days, nor have I updated the Firefox version.
Is there a problem with the synch server?
Regards
Nick

How can I report problems with the Mozilla support website?

Of course this is a problem with the website, not with Firefox, but "other products" is a dead end. I have sensory disabilities, so these are some of the bugs I've noticed, I don't know what bugs other people have noticed:
1. There are too many animations. They hurt.
2. Searching for "accessibility" turns up questions and answers using the word "access," which usually have jack to do with accessibility problems, accessibility solutions, accessibility tools for Firefox, etc. for disabled users.

'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/ Flash block]''' {web link}
Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it
won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
This is probably a good site to be aware of
http://www.accessfirefox.org/Firefox_Accessibility_Extensions.php
It is a semi official mozilla community run site.
IIRC the site and many of its addons were caught out by Australis.
That is probably one site we should reach out to in advance if for instance making anything less distinct smaller, or lower contrast.

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

On a mac, I have lost the map scaler on Google map. I think that it is Firefox problem because the map scaler is present with Safari, so it seems that it is not a Google map problem. 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

I keep getting a message about a problem with the plug in container for firefox. what does it mean?

I am getting a pop up box saying that there is a problem with the plug in container for firefox. It keeps saying do I want windows to find a fix for it and close it or do I just want to close the program. What is this plug in container for firefox and why am I constantly getting this message? It has been happening for the past month or two.

It means either you have a faulty/out of date plugin, or your firewall/antivirus is causing problems with Firefox.
Make sure you update all your plugins and disable unwanted ones.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-remove-add-ons
Also, make sure your firewall/antivirus is not blocking plugincontainer.exe from the Firefox folder in your computer. How you make sure that's not the case will depend on your firewall/antivirus.

How do I fix the problems with the newest version of firefox

I a having a major problem with the newest version of firefox and I am not happy with it. I did everything that I am supposed to do with the reset, but it is still not working correctly. It has a lot of no responses and freezing up problems.
How do I fix this problem?

You didn't provide any information about your Firefox setup. Can you do that and paste it in a new reply?
*Navigate to <code>about:support</code> via Address Bar
*Click the button that says <code>Copy text to clipboard</code>
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox opens and works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Hold the SHIFT/Option key while opening Firefox
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.
