My yahoo attachments won't open in firefox, although they do in Internet Explorer -- how fix?

when there is an attachment to my yahoo email on firefox, it won't open. Meanwhile on Internet Explorer it does open. Firefox is my preference. how do i fix this?

You don't have to disable any addons or extentions!!!You guys are not going to believe this I figured out the problem it's really dumb...ok here goes the attachment uploader loads seperate so I got to thinking it's a popup so I went to options content and under block pop ups there is an option exceptions click on that and in the box type firefox.com and hit allow pow its fixed!!!!! :-)

My yahoo email won't open in firefox and it will in internet explorer. this is been happening for about a week now, spiratically

About a week ago my firefox won't open my email everytime I click on the link. A link comes up to open quick view, but that isn't what I want and I'm not sure it works either. I have tested with internet explorer and it opens fine.

Facebook, yahoo, google will not open in firefox. They don't even register as being directed to go to those sites.

I have completely uninstalled firefox and re-installed it and the issue has not changed. When I type facebook.com, google.com, yahoo.com into the location bar, firefox registers that I hit enter to do something but then reverts to an empty location bar within a second. Bookmarks to these pages do not work either. I can get may other pages to load, these three seem to be the main ones.

This issue is still present in safe mode.

Why do pdf files from some web sites download as aspx files, which I can't open from Firefox but I can in Internet Explorer?

I have tried downloading files which are supposed to be pdf but they download as aspx files. This doesn't happen if I use Internet Explorer and other pdfs from the same web site download without a problem.

To make a long story short, the server can send a preferred file name but isn't always programmed to do so. IE sniffs the beginning of the file and may override what is sent by the server; Firefox does not.
You can manually change the file extension when you save it (if you have Firefox set to ask you where to save) or you can rename it after it is saved.

I'm developing a web site using MVC3 & Razor, but my css changes do not show up on FireFox, but do on Chrome & Internet Explorer - How can I get Razor to render correctly on FireFox?

I don't have a public version as I'm just staring development.
For an example I have completed the walk-thru at [http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/getting-started-with-ef-using-mvc/updating-related-data-with-the-entity-framework-in-an-asp-net-mvc-application]. Then I tried changing minor items in site.css (such as font size) and the changes did not show up on FireFox, but do show up on Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Example of change below: I changed the background from #e8eef4 to #ff0000. The table header background shows up in red for chrome & IE, but stay in light blue for FireFox.
<code>
table th {
padding: 6px 5px;
text-align: right;
background-color: #ff0000;
border: solid 1px #e8eef4;
</code>

You can also reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

I use the SCC mediaserver in my work, and the crop function has stopped working on Firefox, although it works on Internet Explorer, and I'm wondering if a recent upgrade caused that problem.

I am a newspaper copy editor and use Firefox to work from home. I use the SCC mediaserver to crop photos and place them in the JazBox system, which includes Adobe InCopy and InDesign. For some reason, the crop function is not working on the SCC when I go on it in Firefox, although it's working in Internet Explorer, which is much slower. I didn't have this problem until I installed a Firefox update today. What can I do?

Try to update to Firefox 8.0.1
You can find the latest Firefox release here:
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
* Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Changes to uploaded website colors will not change on firefox, although it showa on internet explorer

I uploaded my website with filezilla. Color changes were made. Om firefox the old clors still show, even after refresh. On internet explorer the website displays the correct colors.

I expect this is due to the old version of the website being saved in Firefox's cache rather than being downloaded from the internet.
You can refresh a web page without using cache (full page refresh) by clicking Ctrl + F5 on the keyboard.
If that doesn't work the clear the cache using the instructions here: [[How to clear the Firefox cache]].
Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. This is now an outdated version. To get the latest security fixes I recommend upgrading to v24. See here for more: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

PDF files won't open in Firefox (but they will in IE).

I have Firefox set as my default browser, and I have Display PDF in Browser checked in Preferences in Acrobat. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro.

MIght be helpful to disable Adobe plugin by going to Adobe Reader's Preferences -> Internet and unchecking "Display PDF in browser using".
Then dump the atrocious bloated Reader.
See this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3252667?start=0&tstart=0 for further solutions.

Yahoo mail attachments will not load in Firefox but will load in Internet Explorer.

In Firefox (downloaded Dec. 2010), at this site:
I get the following message:"We're having trouble attaching this file with our standard Flash uploader. Try attaching again. (Flash uploader will be temporarily disabled.)''
This manoeuvre does work but is tedious. Is there a better way?
I have no problems in Explorer but Firefox is my preferred search engine.

I had the same problem. My firewall was the cause. Perhaps it is enough if you stop the blocking by the firewall. Good luck and bye! Christian

Firefox 23, attachments won't open or download

firefox 23.0, attachments won't open or download. this includes PDFs, movie clips, perhaps others.
i tried safe mode and it works. so it suggested turning off accelerator, use default themes and disabling extensions. i tried all that and none of that worked.
anybody have any other ideas?

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.

Airprint is for IOS devices and thus has no relevance to this issue.
Connect the printer to your Wireless Network and use Bonjour to detect nd connect it.
That's wrong. AirPrint is not just for iOS devices. Since HP doesn't provide drivers for this printer, they say to use AirPrint:

If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
