My downloads quit working in Firefox but work fine in IE

I am unable to download in Firefox. It was fine earlier and no changes were made that I am aware of. I am having no problem downloading with IE but prefer Firefox.

Could you be more specific? What exactly is happening when you try to download something with Firefox?
[[Unable to download or save files]]
[[Downloads window is blank]]
[[Downloads window does not open]]
[[Firefox crashes when trying to download a file]]

wifi doesn't work very well since ios6 download. Worked fine before update, help please

I reset modem and router. Still have the same issue. I have a laptop connected to the network as well as a PS3. Both are working great. Did a Speedtest app test on iphone. With 3g it was working good. When i switched to wifi, it was trying to get the ping test accomplished, and could not. it was stuck in the ping test at 0% for a long time and never progress.

I downloaded form filler for firefox but can't find it and don't know how to use it?

This doesn't sound like a Firefox problem. You should try to consider, methodically, what you did before the problem occurred so that you can describe to someone exactly what occurred, and in what order.

I am unable to print (any website) from the latest Firefox, but print fine from Internet Explorer. Using Windows Vista on a desktop machine.

printer advances page and spits it out with either nothing or a single garbled line printed on it instead of a whole web page. This is independent of which web site and even happens with web sites that have a specific PRINT or PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION button. Printing is fine from Internet Explorer. Unsure about Chrome. Printing from Firefox worked fine until I downloaded newest version. Operating system is Windows Vista on a 64 bit desktop computer.

Try the '''reset''' described here: <br />

WWhy are large downloads being throttled in Firefox but not IE or Chrome?

When downloading a large file in Firefox 3.6.12, download speed always starts high (300-400 KB) but quickly drops to 40-60 KB and stays at the slow speed. Happens on different web sites. When downloading multiple files. every file starts at the high speed and drops to the low speed in the same way. Downloading the same files with IE or Chrome the speed starts high and never drops. Starting Firefox in safe mode doesn't help.

I've now been forced to tell my users NOT to use FF because of it's BUG.

I have downloaded 4.0 of firefox.but its menus are in hindi language.How can i change it to english?

I have downloaded new version of mozilla firefox.After installing this,the menus such as file, edit,etc..are appearing in hindi language.But i need english language to use mozilla.how can i change this default language to english?

You can find all Firefox 4 languages here:

I have downloaded an update to Firefox, but when I try to load it I get this message, "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items" and I have no idea what it is talking about or how to change it.

The previous version of Firefox is still on and operational. I get this message when I try to drag the Firefox icon to the application file icon. Since this is my computer, and I am the administrator, I don't know what privileges I lack, or on which items. If there is a way to correct this I would like to do so and activate the new version. It looks like the new version is 7.0.1 for Mac OS. This happens everytime I try to load the new version by dragging the icon.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Why do some web site pages appear with strikethrough in Firefox but appear fine in IE?

Win 8.1 64bit
These are pdf pages that appear as strikethrough or shadow

Do the lines move as you scroll or do they stay in the same place on the page?
One option would be to use the Adobe Acrobat plugin instead of Firefox's built-in PDF viewer. This article describes how to make the switch: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
In case it's a display artifact, one possible explanation is that Firefox is not compatible with your graphics card driver software. To work around that, you can disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration for graphics.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
That will take effect after you exit and restart Firefox.
Does either of those help?

First you must backup your data if it isn't already at least twice*.
Next you must find the 10.6 installer disc that either came with the computer, or a newer retail one that is white with the Snow Leopard picture on front. 10.6.3 was the last retail version of 10.6.   I do believe that Apple is still selling this retail release here.
Next, you need to boot off the 10.6 installer disc with the Option key held down, using the startup manager and erase and install 10.6:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4672
Then run the 10.6.8 combo update.
Then contact the App Store Billing to ask them to reissue you 10.8 update as you corrupted your restore partition and need to reinstall 10.8 from scratch. Before you install 10.8, be sure that all your applications are 10.8 compatible, by looking at this page.
Then install 10.8.
Lastly, recover the data from your backup.

Yahoo finance portfolio does not update in firefox but is fine in Chrome and IE9

This problem did not exist under the previous version of Firefox. One can access Yahoo finance my portfolio ok but even with streaming quotes on the portfolio does not update.
Problem now solved. It was an issue of the Kaspersky root kit certificate

I don't know if it matters, try this url instead, which is a secured one (https):

The visitor counter on my website no longer works on Firefox but still works in ME. How do I fix it?

I have a free visitor counter (by easycounter.com) on my website. It has been working fine in both Firefox (3.6.16) and MS Internet Explorer.
Yesterday, I noticed it no longer works with Firefox but still fine with MS IE.
Earlier in the week I did download a few add-ons recommended by Firefox.
Can anyone advise what the problem might be and how to fix it? The code for the counter is still intact on my page at www.qsl.net/ve3bdb.
Thanks in advance.
Incidentally, the page now takes forever to load when using MS IE, but I don't know if that's related.

No problems here with that visited counter on your website.
Which extensions did you install?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Podcast episodes won't download in iTunes app (but works fine on desktop)

Hi, I can't figure this out:
Our podcast episodes simply won't download in the iTunes app on iPhone. The download simply stops at 10.3 kB (or sometimes at another value), without really getting started at all.
This is very odd, since downloads are working fine in iTunes on the desktop, and in other apps on the phone (such as Instacast).
Here's the iTunes-page for the podcast:
http://itunes.apple.com/no/podcast/filmfrelst/id303539607?l=nb
And here's the RSS feed URL:
http://montages.no/filmfrelst_files/rss.php
(The podcast is called "Filmfrelst", and is searchable in the iTunes app)
Any clues?

OK, seems like I located the problem - sort of. It's not the feed that's the issue, but rather the fact that I'm pushing my MP3-files through a PHP script which does some statcounting. If I access the MP3 files directly, the iTunes app downloads them OK.
So I'm guessing maybe my headers aren't exactly what the iTunes app is expencting? Here's a snippet from the PHP file which outputs the MP3 data:
header('Content-Type: audio/mp3');
header('Content-Length: 'filesize($location));
@readfile($location);

Using Firefox, I can't upload an image to a website from my Mac. It works fine with PC's.

I'm on a 24" iMac, running OSX 10.6.8
My web developer can't replicate the issue, as he's on a PC.
If you'd like to investigate, here's the website: myveryowncoffee.com. On the site, you have the option of uploading a photo to create your own label, or to connect with a website, and download one from there. The download feature works fine.
Thank you!

My RealPlayer is not downloading videos anymore on Firefox 28. My Realplayer plug in is no longer seen in my extensions section either. How can I fix this ?

My RealPlayer download feature (the button that appears on top of a video to allow a download) was working fine until a few days ago, when I installed the latest Flash player update (12 something). Now, my Real Player does not work, at all. In fact, when I looked for the Real Player plug in in my 'Extensions' folder, it was not there (though it is listed in my 'Plug In' section). How can I get my Real Player download to work again, as well as have it return to my 'Extensions' section ?
Thanks,
Gary

Thank you for your question, and apologies for the delay. I have found some more information that may help answer your question. Below is the current knowledge base article that has what we know about the RealPlayer extension and add on:
