Named destination not working in Firefox 3.6.3, other browsers are ok

I've added several named destinations to a PDF. Links to the named destinations within the PDF are working correctly in IE8, Safari and Chrome, but not Firefox 3.6.3. (PC/Windows 7)
With Firefox all the links to named destinations take you to the first page of the PDF instead of to the named destination within the PDF. I've tried changing the format of the links (a href="http://www.anysite.com/mypdf.pdf#location1") instead of (a href="http://www.anysite.com/mypdf.pdf#nameddest=location1"). No success with Firefox. Other browsers are fine.
I'd be interested if anyone else has had a similar issue and whether there are any successful workarounds/solutions.
Thanks a bunch.

The PDF contaning the named destinations was created with Acrobat 9.3.2 Professional.
Since the links to the named destinations are working fine with IE, Chrome and Safari, I'd tend to think this is a Firefox issue, but welcome other ideas.

I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now videos online will not work on Firefox but will on other browsers, anyone else having this problem?

After downloading the latest Windows updates I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or at other sites. Switching to other browsers I found I could play those same videos now without any problem. So I did a System Restore to determine if the Windows updates had affected video play using Firefox. The restore point was set to the day before the Windows download occurred. After System Restore was completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.
To make sure that the Windows update was the problem, I again downloaded the newest Windows Updates and once again could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System restore was used to again reset my computer to the day before and once again the videos would ow play in the Firefox browser.

Actually your reply took me in another direction and I found this on the Adobe site:
The RealPlayer extension for Firefox, Downloading & Recording, has compatibility issues with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to watch a video.
As a workaround, do the following:
Start RealPlayer.
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
Once I followed this I could now again play videos in Firefox.

Named Destinations not Working in PDF

We have book files that contain several chapters and a glossary. We created numerous named destinations (specify named destination/jump to named destination) throughout the FM files. If we check the links in the FM files, they work fine (i.e. the linked word jumps to the correct spot). However once we PDF, it loses some (not all) of those links. Anyone have any suggestions for figuring out why or fixing the issue? To PDF, we print a PS file then distill it. We are using FM 10. There appears to be no rhyme or reason for which words work and which words don't. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

FM will always have at least two versions of the maker.ini on your system. The first version is in the default FM installation folder. The other is each of the Users areas. The one(s) in the Users area contain your specific settings to the FM environment. So it looks like your display settings are set properly in FM.
It really helps seeing the FM & PDF versions.
What specific version of the Palatino TTF font are you using (mine is the 5.00 as shown in the previous reply)?
In your FM paragraph designer, you seem to be using a Justified setting. What are your settings that you have in the Advanced properties of the paragraph designer for tthe Word Spacing options? I've tried duplicating your example (using a wid range of settings), but I don't seem to have any spill over issues:
In your example, it looks like only the word-spacings are messing up. The individual word lengths look to be correct when compared ot the FM file. Did you use any special spaces (i.e. non-breaking, numeric, etc.) between any of the words. (Turn on your View > Text Symbols in FM)? Are you using any special character tag, the default Emphasis tag or did you manually apply Italic (or footnote superscipt formatting) in the paragraphs that shoot over the margins?
What PDF joboptions did you use for creating the PDF?
Are you using the AdobePDF printer instance for creating the PDFs?
In Acrobat, have you checked to see if you actually have the Palatino Linotype being used in the PDF document? (Use either the File > Properties... and then look at the Font tab or use the Edit Object tool, click on the wonky text area and the right-click to get the Proprties context menu and look at the Text tab).

hello phillbatts, the java plugin and javascript are two very different things: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Javascript_is_not_Java
if websites report that javascript is disabled, try the following: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''javascript.enabled'''. make sure that it is set to '''true''' and else double-click it in order to change its value.
if this doesn't help, please also make sure that you don't have any extensions (like noscript) installed, that might block the execution of javascript or other active content...

The bottom bar, which shows the URL, the "lock" on secured sites, etc, is NOT THERE on firefox but is on other browsers. What can I do?

As above, the bar across the bottom, which shows the URL, the "lock" symbol on secure sites, etc., IS NOT THERE on any firefox page I open. It is there on other browsers but I would like to continue using firefox. What should I do?

In Firefox 4 and later you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions. 
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. 
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

Help! HTML Data set not working in IE (but in all other browsers)

Hi there,
I am totally desperate - I built a master/detail region page using a HTML data set.
http://www.atcongress.com/programme/continuousLearningByName.html
It works fine in Firefox/Safari/Chrome/Opera.
Only IE7 and IE8 give me grief - displaying javascript errors; apparrently it is not able to bind the HTML data table to the data set:
The IE Javascript Error Console displays "
'Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet' ist Null oder kein Objekt
This is in German but you'll get the idea I presume?! Translation would be something like
'Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet' is Null or not an object"
Anyway, the source HTML data table uses spry as well. This works fine on all browsers. Maybe because the HTML is on the same page?
http://www.atcongress.com/programme/continuousLearningTable.html
Any ideas? Do you need more info?
Please help - the system needs to go out to test users any day now!
Andreas
This is the entire message from the IE8 javascript error console:
Meldung: 'Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet' ist Null oder kein Objekt Zeile: 30 Zeichen: 1 Code: 0 URI: http://www.atcongress.com/programme/continuousLearningByName.html Meldung: 'Spry.Debug' ist Null oder kein Objekt Zeile: 961 Zeichen: 41 Code: 0 URI: http://www.atcongress.com/_spryAssets/SpryData.js Meldung: 'Spry.Data.initRegionsOnLoad' ist Null oder kein Objekt Zeile: 4855 Zeichen: 65 Code: 0 URI: http://www.atcongress.com/_spryAssets/SpryData.js

More info on my trial & error process - error still in this case...
I cleaned up the code in both the problematic file and the source file that they validate fine now wit the W3C validator:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.atcongress.com/programme/continuousLearningBy Name.html&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1&group=0&No200=1&ver bose=1&st=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.1
Data source file:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.atcongress.com%2Fprogramme%2Fcontinuous LearningTable.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1&group= 0&No200=1&verbose=1&st=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.1
I'd also like to mention again that the source html file also contains an HTML data set and spry code. No problems there.
In order to make sure that is not a problem of referencing external data I also tried copying and pasting the source data table into the problematic file so that it can be used as a local data source. Still the same.
Apparently the probem is the master/detail region part. The working HTML spry file uses a standard HTML table whereas my problematic one uses a master/detail region
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Java is not running in Firefox, but runs in other browsers.

I am trying to run java in my Firefox 3.6.13 browser.
Java works perfectly in Internet Explorer, but I rather use fire fox.
I have java installed, and it appears in my (about:plugins) page as all enabled.
yet when I go to the java website to detect java, I end up watching the swirling bar go on forever and then it reports I have no java installed.
Every page that uses java appears blank, the page loads around the java perfectly, but its just an empty space where anything java is.
I made sure to check the control panel and make sure it is enabled for mozilla family as well as the next gen java is selected. unfortunatley no matter how many times I uninstall java/fire fox, and re install, Java will not work

The ''' "Search" ''' box isn't going to do you any good, you need the '''Run''' box. There isn't a "file" in the Firefox Program Files folder that you can use to launch the Firefox SafeMode. ''Firefox 4.0 has a fix to get around this problem in Vista and Win7, so you won't have to activate the '''Run''' box.''
See if this works in Windows 7:

Javascript functions to control QuickTime not working in Firefox

I am using the provided Javascript functions to control QuickTime (7.6.2); however, the functions are not working in Firefox (3.0.11), whereas they are working in Safari (4.0.1).
I create a QuickTime Player, as follows:
QT_WriteOBJECT('Music.mp3', '0', '0', '', 'AUTOPLAY', 'True', 'KIOSKMODE', 'True', 'CONTROLLER', 'False', 'LOOP', 'False', 'obj#id', 'qtp', 'emb#name', 'qtp', 'emb#id', 'qtpID', 'ENABLEJAVASCRIPT', 'True', 'SHOWLOGO', 'False', 'VOLUME', '256');
The Music.mp3 file starts playing in both Safari and Firefox; however, the Javascript functions to control that playing work only in Safari, not in Firefox.
Examples of QuickTime functions that work in Safari, but not in Firefox:
document.qtp.Stop();
document.embeds[0].GetRate();
document.embeds["qtp"].GetTime();
document.embeds["qtpID"].GetQuickTimeVersion();
The GetRate and GetTime functions always return a "0" in Firefox, the Stop command is ineffectual in Firefox, and the GetQuickTimeVersion function aborts the Javascript code in Firefox.
Any ideas what's happening?

Dave, what you have done is very similar to what I have done, with the following exceptions:
1. I'm using the regular HTML version of QT_WriteOBJECT rather than the XHTML version.
2. My first parameter is an .mp3 file rather than a .mov poster in combination with an 'href'.
3. I'm not using some of your parameters, such as, 'target', 'targetcache', 'scale', 'href', and 'name'.
4. Instead of 'name', I'm using --- 'obj#id', 'qtp', 'emb#name', 'qtp' --- which allows me to then reference the QuickTime functions as --- document.qtp.Play(); document.qtp.Stop(); --- etc.
5. I'm not creating HTML buttons as player controls; rather I am using my javascript program to detect and control the player operation with functions such as --- document.qtp.GetRate(); document.qtp.GetTime(); document.qtp.GetDuration(); document.qtp.SetVolume(); document.qtp.SetMute(); document.qtp.Play(); document.qtp.Rewind(); document.qtp.Stop() --- etc.
6. I change my .mp3 files using --- document.qtp.SetURL();
7. All my javascript is contained in an iWeb HTML snippet using an iframe.
Essentially, I've created a jukebox with button images of album covers that can be visually scrolled and then clicked to play an album via the HTML onClick, onMouseOver, and onMouseOut functions.
This all works without a hitch in Safari; however, in FF, NN, and Opera, it only works if the iframe is completely visible on the screen. It can't be scrolled offpage, and the HTML album cover buttons in the iframe cannot be dimensionless, hidden, or blocked from view.
I really think it's the iframe that is causing this behavior in all the browsers (except Safari).
BTW, as an aside, I don't have a Windows machine, but no one I know using IE on a PC has been able to get my QuickTime Player working. I think it's because, when I want to collapse an album cover, I set its width to '1px' ('0px' works only in Safari), but I think IE may require a minimum width of '2px'. I have not tried changing my image widths to '2px' yet.

Firefox5 is not showing BBC iPlayer Video & Radio Other browsers are all fine(Safari,IE,Chrome) The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is XPpro.

Firefox5 is not showing BBC iPlayer Video & Radio.
Other browsers are all fine(Safari,IE,Chrome)
The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3.

Also, when the flash video does not show up it displays the error that I do not have the current flash player. The problem is that I do have the current flash player that actually plays flash from another section of the website.
Forgot to add that earlier.

Af:goLink not working in firefox

It is breaking a serious usecase for our area - as it used to work earlier.
Clicking on the link just refreshes the page and doesn't drill down to the link destination.

The same problem is in Firefox 5.0 version too

Flash drag and drop not working on Firefox for android browser

Drag and drop functionality is not working using Firefox Browser for Android on tablet. We tested with flash action script 2.0 & 3.0 content, both have same issue. Specs of the tab and OS are as follows.
Android - Kitkat 4.4.2
Tab models - Lenovo A7600H and Samsung Tab4 T531
Please refer to a previous case raised on the same issue here at this link (Case 1029615) - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029615
Additionally, we observed that the object on which Drag and Drop event was triggered, is moving little bit when we double tap.
Does Firefox provide any libraries to support Drag and Drop functionality on Flash? We are using Geekoview api to execute flash content in our app. Will the same support be provided in Geekoview as well?
Are there other folks facing the same issue? Is there a solution or workaround to get this feature running?

Flash on Android is no longer supported by Adobe. While Firefox does support basic functionality we mainly focus on legacy video applications. You may run into issues with Flash and Geckoview. I doubt we have any resources to support that configuration.
