Netflix won't work on Firefox, but works on IE

Today, while watching Netflix, a message popped up that said "Silverlight Instillation Program Error Code: 2014." The message says that in order to fix the problem, I need to uninstall and then reinstall Silverlight. I have done so multiple times, but Netflix still won't play. I tried to see if Netflix will play on IE, and it does, so I'm not really sure what my problem is.
I am running Firefox 15.0.1, Microsoft Silverlight 5 (5.1.10411.0), and Windows 7 (64-bit)

'''I had this problem too. Here's a sure fix for MAC users:'''
# Access your hard drive (double click the hard drive icon in finder)
# Find the silverlight plugin (navigate to your Internet Plug-Ins directory: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/)
# Remove the silverlight plugin (drag any of the following into your trash bin:
* Silverlight.plugin
* WPFe.plugin
# Empty your trash bin
# Go to [[www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/|www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/]] using your Firefox browser.
# Download and install silverlight
# Restart Firefox
'''ALL FIXED! :) What a relief. This was driving me crazy. '''

RealPlayer download feature not working in Firefox (but works in IE)

Realplayer download feature (cursor over a youtube video, "download this video" pops up) has recently quit working for me (I've been using it for months). I've searched knowledge bases and forums extensively and tried all the suggestions., such as rolling back from Flash Player 11.5 to 10.3 (no luck), disabling/enabling RealPlayer Download plugin in Firefox (no luck), etc. The one suggestion I'd like to try but can't is going into RealPlayer preferences and enabling/disabling the "Download and Record" function. I can't because all I have in my preferences is "Recording" and the options have nothing to do with downloading. None of the RealNetworks/RealPlayer support sites are helpful at all...
However, the download feature works just fine in Internet Explorer

Realplayer download does not work in Firefox. Someone suggested ant.com as an add-on. That works.
For youtube I use YTD downloader (a youtube product). It is more reliable for youtube videos.

Videos will not work in Firefox but work fine in windows explorer. why?

I tried to verify my plug-in's and all are enabled. I found where was suggested to remove and reinstall Firefox but that did not fix problem either. I tried to change viewer for videos but still no luck. Not certain why Quicktime doesn't work. Note, videos when browsing will not open but everything else works fine. Videos work fine with windows Explorer, but not Firefox.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Site search will not work in Firefox but works with Chrome

I run three websites. One is personal (www.rossolson.org) and two are for non-profit organizations (www.outpostministries.org and www.tccsa.tc). All have site search through Google, my own site is paid to be ad-free, the non profits are free and without adds because of their non profit status. For a while now, site search does not work with Firefox for the non profit sites but does for the paid site. Chrome and IE work fine. Is there a solution? Some setting to activate? Is this Google's doing?

I am able to type a search word in but on clicking it, nothing changes. No results. the word just stays there.
I also downloaded the https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/ -- at first I wondered if it was not letting me install. So I allowed it in exceptions. But I'm not clear on what it does or what I do to use it.

Does Gmail work better in a private browsing window? This is a test to see whether cookies are a factor. You can create a new private window by either:
* Pressing Ctrl+Shift+p
* orange Firefox button (or File menu) > New Private Window
More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Netflix Instant Play will not work with Firefox but works fine with Internet Explorer

When I log in to Netflix, I cannot play instant movies from my Queue. I called Netflix and they said to reset my router. I did this and now Netflix Instant play works with Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

Drop down menus on certain websites (ie ESPN) are no longer working on Firefox but work with both Chrome and IE on same computer so I believe its Firefox issue.

I tried updating Firefox to 19 and then even the Beta 20 version. I have rebooted computer countless times. On the same computer, I can open IE and bring up ESPN and the drop down menus work fine so I know its not a computer issue and it must have something to do Firefox. I tried the "starting in safe mode" and disabling add ons because I saw those suggestions but that didnt work. I also tried unchecking the box about hardware acceleration because I saw that suggested also and needless to say that didnt work either. Can someone please please help me, its very frustrating.

The menu on the ESPN site is generated via JavaScript, so make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript if the menus aren't working.

Printer stopped working with Firefox but works fine with Safari. We have a MacBook Pro OS 10.5.8.

Our R380 Printer has been working perfectly with Firefox in printing web pages and email. However, now it will not even attempt to print web pages or email. It's like it doesn't even know that a printer is connected.
But when I launch Safari, the printer works great both in printing web pages and email.
How do I get it to start printing in Firefox again?

Define "access the cloud". I can access my iCloud.com account on my 5 year old iMac at work running OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. I can download and upload Word documents and Pages documents in the iWorks section of my iCloud.com account.
What do you want to access in "the cloud"?
Snow Leopard would be your next system upgrade and you should be OK with the CS3 applications, and Office 2008. I cannot confirm that the other applications will work.
This is quite old, but take a look or Google the other applications to see if they are compatible with SL.

Try this :
For all who have problem with the standard ALPS touchpad driver in firefox 4; here is a quick registry fix: 1) Open registry with regedit 2) Search for following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alps\Apoint 3) Set ScrMethod to 1 4) Reboot
After that scrolling in FF4 should be possible.
For me it works with a Acer Aspire

Pinterest doesn't work in Firefox, but works fine in IE

I've just installed the Pinterest toolbar button, and have been trying to pin items in Firefox. I keep getting this error though:
Forbidden (403)
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.
More information is available with DEBUG=True.
Additionally, when I try to manually pin on the Pinterest site, by inserting a link, it seems to just freeze Firefox. However all of these things work perfectly fine in Internet Explorer.

Why doesnt scrolling feature on mouse work in firefox but works with chrome and IE?

I installed firefox on my laptop and when i try to scroll with the keypad it wont let me. The keypad works fine with all other programs except firefox. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled firefox already and no luck.

If it's an Acer laptop, there appears to be a bug with the ALPS drivers. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605357

Click event not working in Firefox but works everywhere else

I have a bindElementAction of 'click' which fires in every browser but Firefox. I have no idea why that is. Any ideas? Here is the event:

console.log('clicking the button');
I get a console.log message in Chrome, Safari, and IE but nothing in Firefox.

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]]

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
