Multiples bugs on firefox (any version)

I have multiple problems on pale moon, nightly and firefox, which I don't have on explorer (yeah), such as pictures or webm not downloading when I right click them for saving, image not showing on flash videos, flash websites crashing or thumbnails on favorite websites not showing. Am I missing anything?
I'm on windows 7, on a dell vostro labtop. This only happened after I reseted windows to factory settings and now I can't have a perfect firefox like I used to have.

Sounds like your having some Flash Problems.
Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as YouTube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again]]

  • Firefox any version Mac, has a bug were it does not see or ask for the proxy username and password. This happens if you use a virtual tagged interface.

    Firefox any version Mac, has a bug were it does not see or ask for the proxy username and password. This happens if you use a virtual tagged interface. A recent network University policy change. The only way to fix this, is if you use a manual proxy configuration in Firefox. So all 100 + uni iMac's can only use Safari as I would need to do a profile push to all 300 students and I am unsure what file carries the proxy information.

  • Unable to open Firefox (any version)

    Been happily using Firefox ver 2 and recently ver 3 on my powerbook G4, OS X 10.4.11.
    Recently Firefox would not open. I moved the application to the trash and went to download ver 3 again. Initially, could not mount the disc image: on download I got "verification failure". I then tried the same with ver 2, same error. This seems to have sorted itself out after 5 attempts, as I just downloaded the ver 3 application. However I still can't open firefox. There's no error message or indication as to why the app will not open.
    Recent changes to my powerbook are I set file encryption (but that was long before I had this issue). Also of note, my preferences keep defaulting to Mac defaults i.e. the toolbar looses all my settings, itunes keeps losing my library and I just look miffed all the time.
    Over 3 years, I've not had a single problem with this powerbook. When it rains it pours.

    Hi louiserb, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Generally, that bad img thing is either RAM, or problems with the HDD.
    Failure of APPs to open is likely Permissions problems or incomlete installs.
    At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
    Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    Let us know where you are after that.

  • Cannot print from Firefox any version to adobe pdf. Have adobe acrobat plugins 11.0.3.37 and 9.5.5.316

    I cannot print any Firefox page to an adobe printer, that is, to create a pdf, even if my computer has an "adobe printer" installed and the adobe plugins are updated.
    However, there is no problem if I use the "pdf it!" add-on.
    Also if Firefox is already exhibiting a pdf page, the command "print" crashes the browser.
    My Firefox is always updated and this problem exists since mid 2012.

    HI, guys, thanks for your help, but I will try to be more precise.
    1. When I started this thread, I meant that yes I could read pdf's in firefox. I could not print ANY firefox (html) page to my adobe printer. When I command the page to be printed to adobe, I see a small window that shows the pdf being assembled, but it stops in the middle, stays locked, and firefox has to be manually crashed so that I keep working.
    If, instead of commanding a print to adobe, I use the pdfit! add-on, it creates a pdf in any directory I choose, without problems. But I think I should not depend on the pdfit! because I've always used the firefox until mid 2012 (I can't remember which release)
    2. The same thing happens when Firefox is already exhibiting a pdf and I simply command File-Print. I must crash Firefox in order to keep working.
    3. When, upon your suggestion, I disabled both adobe add-ons, then when I click a link to open a pdf, I don't get an open choice, just save or cancel. It's a new ball game, besides not solving the original problem.
    4. By the way, the preference pdfjs.disabled in about:config is False.

    Well, it's what I did to get my Java working in Firefox 4. I installed both binaries into my Library/Internet Plug-ins folder. The version was newer that what was previously installed (newer version is 0.9.7.5). It solved the Java problems I was having. My inital problem was that Java would not initiate and no applets would run in Firefox version 4 which I just installed a few days ago.
    I know the readme.txt. says it is not compatible with version 4, but the release date on 0.9.7.5 is after the release date of Firefox 4 and so that was I tried it. I figure there was nothing to lose as at worst it woud update my two plug-in files. Nothing was going to be changed otherwise. If you try it, it might work.

  • HP Smart web printing is very useful web printing extension which is not compatible with any version of firefox till now but compatible with Internet Explorer any version. So Please do correction. Thanks

    [There is a link below from where software can be downloaded and after installing this you will see that it is not compatible with any version of Mozilla Firefox of any Window version (7, XP).]
    [http://ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL20395/dj-56929-3/HP_Smart_Web_Printing_v4.6.exe

    It is up to HP to make that program compatible with Firefox.
    That application last worked in Firefox 3.5, but HP was always very lax in updating it for a new version of Firefox. Usually they didn't bother to update it until like halfway through the "run" of a particular Firefox version. It worked for like 6 months and then a new version of Firefox was released, and it didn't work for like 6 months until HP got around to fixing it - then the cycle repeated.

  • Can't update from version 3.6 to any newer versions? Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6!

    Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6! Have tried various suggestions from online support. I am using Windows XP Professional with all updates, Norton Security Suite, V5.1.0.2 updated. I am using Comcast. The following add-ons are installed in Firefox:DowloadHelper4.9.7, ExtendedCopyMenu(fixed version)1.6.1c and NoScript.
    I tried installing V8.1 and it would either freeze or close. I have tried opening it in safe mode but Firefox would not open.
    I have gone into the registry, removed all Mozilla and Firefox entries and reinstalled 8.1. Didn't make any difference. I really, really don't want to go back and start using IE.
    Is this an issue for anyone else or just my computer which is about a year old? Sure would appreciate any help.

  • I had firefox4.0 installed in my PC. There was a glitch in the browser so I uninstalled it and now when I am trying to re-install any version of firefox, I am unable to.

    This is the message that I see when I try installing any version of Firefox:
    Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Facebook/Twitter DO NOT LOAD TEXT/IMAGES correctly in Windows 8 in ANY version of Firefox

    The title sums it up nicely. I bought a new laptop 2 days ago and Facebook and Twitter do not load correctly in Firefox (ANY AND ALL VERSIONS - I have been installing/uninstalling/reinstalling nonstop like a maniac). They load in every other browser just fine.
    Basically what happened is I installed Firefox on the new laptop (first thing I did), loaded Facebook and Twitter for the first time, and once I closed those pages and re-opened them, they started to appear with the text flush to the left and without some images. Almost looks like a part of the CSS code is missing.
    I have tried ALL of the solutions posted on these support forums. None of them are permanent
    Clearing my cookies/cache IS NOT an adequate solution. It works for the first time and then I have to do it every time I close and re-open FB/Twitter. Since the entire Windows 8 O/S concept is based on the "social experience," this seems somewhat ironic. Either it's a problem with my new laptop but I doubt it, as I said before, every other browser and webpage work fine.
    My conclusion is there's a problem between Firefox/Windows 8/Facebook and Twitter. If someone could just confirm or shed some insight to development problems or suggest permanent fixes, that would be greatly appreciated and save me a lot of headache. As it stands, I'm about to throw this laptop out the window. >_> I'm very much not impressed with the hassle this transition has been.
    Google Chrome has always been a close second to Firefox in my eyes and it looks like I'll have to switch over, despite the fact the former does not have a customizable bookmark toolbar.
    Thanks in advance.
    I have NORTON INTERNET SECURITY if anyone can suggest any settings change.

    Hey Firefaux,
    I changed a setting in Firefox and it seemed to have solved my problems. Since CTRL+F5 seemed to work as a quick fix, that told me it was something to do with the cache.
    My browsers on my old laptop had never had their cached cleared (I have a problem deleting things :P).
    Go to Tools --> Options --> Network and under Cached Web Content, your cache may be set to 350mb just like mine was in my new Firefox. I had a moment of clarity and thought, "maybe since my computer is so new, I haven't browsed enough to fill my cache with information from various different sites, as opposed to just Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube."
    So I ticked the box "override automatic cache management" and set it to 0mb.
    Ever since then, I've had no problems with browsing (in Firefox, haven't attempted anything else since the problem was fixed immediately).
    I know nothing about caches and whatnot, but with the limit set to 0, I believe this is forcing the browser to reload a new page from scratch EVERY time since I have not allowed *anything* to be saved to memory.
    Hope this helps, please let us know if it works for you as well. I know I was experiencing massive buyer's remorse for days because of this problem.

  • Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6!

    Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6! Have tried various suggestions from online support. I am using Windows XP Pro with all updates, Comcast, Norton Security Suite, V5.1.0.2 updated. The only add-on that seems to work with newer versions is NoScript. I miss Colorful Tabs and Expended Copy Menu. Both those add-ons will freeze Firefox now. Sees like Firefox is going backwards instead of improving.
    I have gone into the registry, removed all Mozilla and Firefox entries and reinstalled 8.1. Didn't make any difference. Sometimes 8.1 will work for 3 or 4 sessions before freezing or not reloading. I then have to do a clean reinstall. I really, really don't want to go back and start using IE.
    Is this an issue for anyone else or just my computer which is about a year old? Sure would appreciate any help.

    Hi
    Well I have tried installing 8.1 without any add-ons and it will open once or twice. Then it will not open. I just reinstalled 3.6 to make this post. I have no issues with 3.6 but Mozilla has posted that this version will soon stop being supported. I can use 8.1 in safe mode with bookmarks enabled but not in regular mode!
    Thanks anyway for responding to my post.

  • I am getting an error saying "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". When I look at my list of plugins I do see that I have Window Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. Why am I getting this error?

    I am trying to load a page & I get the error "Your computer doesn't seem to support any version of Media Player". I then go to the tools & to add ons & to plugins. There under the plugins is Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8. It is enabled. My question is what does this error mean? Do I have the Media Player I need or not?

    Notes:
    1) Please use the code tags when posting code or JNLP/HTML. It helps to retain indentation and avoids asterisks and plus sings being interpreted as formatting marks. To do that, select the code/JNLP etc. and click the CODE button seen on the Plain Text tab of the message posting form.
    2) That launch file is invalid. You might check it (and the project in general) using JaNeLA.
    3) The only place that SimpleSerial class could be, that the JRE would find, is in the root of aeon.jar. Is it actually there?

  • Cannot download ANY version of firefox june 25/11

    Had to delete firefox from system due to possible virus, But when I tried to download forefox again, I was unabel to download ANY version. Tried verious sites for 2 days same response.

    Download the new version you want with other browsers like IE (Windows), Safari (Mac) and remove the last version. Then install the package you downloaded.
    Here you can download version 6.0: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Download]

  • Firefox will not let me use any version over 3.5.14 it does not access any other web sites if I use any other version of firefox?

    If I update firefox to the new version 18 and then try to use any websites that don't have anything to do with firefox it says "Problem loading screen" and it does the same with any version past 3.5.14 exept if I update to version 3.6.24 then all the screens are just white and at the bottom it says "Updating Add: Codec-V".
    So basically I'm stuck in a old version of firefox and I can't get out/

    Please update to Firefox 18.0.1, then reset Firefox [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
    Then read [[Server Not Found - Troubleshoot connection problems]]
    and [[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]

  • HP Simplepass not working with any version of Firefox

    Long story short, after I upgraded to Firefox 6 and discovered my HP Simplepass doesn't work, I reverted back to Firefox 3.6 but can't get any version of HP Simplepass to work. I originally had the Digital Persona version, which I upgraded to the EgisTec version. I currently have version EgisTec 7.0.74.0 installed (supposed to work with FF 4.0 and no luck). I have tried older versions of HP Simplepass with no luck as well. I also tried to go back to my original Digital Persona version, but can't get it to reinstall (1722...error as discussed in other posts here). I can't seem to overcome that either. Any suggestions? I am pulling my hair out.
