No Gecko based browsers load websites on Windows 7,but they do on Windows XP. Also Firefox process won't close and browser can't close or restart.

I tried to install firefox 32 and no websites would load and also the process would not close. I tried disabling ipv6 turning my router settings so there is only ipv4 connection and disbaled also dns prefetching and set network settings to no proxy. I uninstalled firefox and tried to reintsall after completely removing everything leaving no trace looking in appdate local and roaming folders and using ccleaner and IObit Uninstaller. Then Firefox would work for a little bit and load Google Facebook and Youtube when I tried it but it was very slow regrading to the instllation of Firefox on my Windows XP which was upgraded from 30 to 32. Uninstalled again and tried older versions of Firefox,K Meleon Lunascape and even Flock. Flock worked but it is going to be unsupported soon. To end,when Firefox loaded webpages the cpu usage jumped from 8% to over 30% and then the websites loaded after the loading circle icon appeared. Other browsers I have work fine. Right now I use Opera.

I managed to fix the problem myself. I did a scan threat scan with malwarebytes antimalware pro that I had and adwcleaner and quarantined everything the first softare found and cleaned with the second everything that seemed to be leftovers of old unisntalled programs. Then had to delete the kmeleon and firefox appdata leftover profiles. I only lfet the firefox light folders which are the folders of the browser I wanted to keep. I then checked for tweaks. I got windows to desfault settings checking if I have doen any tweaks with avg pc tuneup 2011,Tweak Me! and UWT 2.2 and used TCP Optimizer to bring the network settings to windows default for 9000 kbps download speed (after I did a network speed test). Now firefox light is super fast and xcloses normally.

ITunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them.

iTunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them. I reconnect to iTunes and it shows the music and books as being loaded on my iPod.
Sometimes the audiobook will play, then disappear from iPod's play menu after I reconnect to iTunes and load more music. I've got plenty of free memory, and iTunes shows the files still on iPod.
....or should I just roll it back to iOS 5... never had these kinds of issues with the old OS.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all AB and resync
To delete all ADgo to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>AB and try deleting them from there
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

i backed up my ipod during a windows backup. how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

so i plugged in my ipod and it asked if i wanted to backup the files before restoring it.
Do you mean iTunes asked if you wanted to backup files before restoring? If so the it is in the location I posted. You don't need to navigate to the backup. Once your restore your iPod it will ask if you want to restore from a backup and present you with the backups made before hand.
To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
-Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
Or
-Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:
-Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)
-From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.
-Click the Restore Backup button.

PDF files used to open with a "save" option, and I have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on my system (running Windows 7). Now, that icon is gone and I can't save. Is there another way to configure the plug-in or is Firefox preventing this or what? THANK YOU.

this is a new problem. Running Windows 7, latest update of Firefox 3.6.13. Under "Applications", I'm set to "open Adobe Acrobat inside Firefox" (which is what I have always done, then if I wanted to, I saved the PDF file elsewhere). should I/ can I open the PDFs outside Firefox, with my Adobe 9 Pro program?

■ Use '''Tools -> Options -> Applications ->''' then look under content for Adobe Acrobat forms etc;
 note a choice of options is usually available
* see [[Options window - Applications panel]]
Firefox is of course a web browser. Acrobat reader is Adobe's program used to read and display the pfd files on your computer. Other programs may be used instead of Acrobat reader. You would normally have the Acrobat program and the pdf file present on the local computer, often both on the same hard drive, if you were opening individual pdf files directly with Acrobat.
Firefox uses a plugin so that it may use Acrobat to open pdf files and display the results within a firefox window or tab. If you do not have that plugin installed, or it is not enabled firefox may be unsure what to do with the file and offer to save it to whatever your default local download location is, without attempting to open the file in firefox.

The window to select dimensions simply does not appear and I can't move forward, due to variables exit in the report

Dear experts,
I am having an issue when I try to create a WEBI document using Bex query through OLAP connection (Bics).
Due to variables exit, it is not possible to open query pannel in webi to choose wich dimensions to add to the webi document.
The window to select dimensions simply does not appear and I can't move forward!
In RSRT ou Bex Analyzer, the query is running fine without errors.
CMOD code is like this (I believe there is not any error as it is working flawless on other reports for other variable names):
WHEN 'ZREDT1'.
     IF i_step = 2.
       CLEAR wa2.
       READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO wa2 WITH KEY vnam = 'ZRE_DT_IN'.
*      wa2-low = |{ v_year_h }12|.
       IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
         v_year_h = wa2-low(4) - 1.
         CONCATENATE v_year_h '12' INTO wa1-low.
*        wa1-low = wa2-low.
         wa1-opt = 'EQ'.
         wa1-sign = 'I'.
         APPEND wa1 TO e_t_range.
       ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
    WHEN 'ZREDT2'.
     IF i_step = 2.
       CLEAR wa2.
       READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO wa2 WITH KEY vnam = 'ZRE_DT_IN'.
       IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
*        wa2-low = |{ v_year_h }12|.
         v_year_h = wa2-low(4) - 1.
         CONCATENATE v_year_h '12' INTO wa1-low.
         wa1-opt = 'EQ'.
         wa1-sign = 'I'.
         APPEND wa1 TO e_t_range.
       ENDIF.
     ENDIF.
Please provide assistance,
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,

I solved it.
The problem was due to date coming to exit - as you know some time intervals start at 01-01-1000, and as I was calculating 1000-1 = 999
I was getting and interval from 99901 to 201405. Do not know if it was not working because CHAR NUMC6 was failing trying to recognize interval 99901 - 201405, but probably, this was the issue.
Thanks for your inputs,
Best regards,

Reader 10 x, IE 8, Windows XP SP3 - PDF files won't open in browser

We have users that can open a PDF file from our web site in Firefox and Chrome but not with IE8.
Items come up with a blank screen in the browser.
It seems to deal with the pop up blocker - the pages are catergorized as "unknown zone" and thus are blocked. I haven't been able to figure out how to add that to the allowed sites. The files are in our domain with /directory name/*.pdf
Users can right click, save and open seperately but not all our users are educated well enough to go through all those steps.
This site gives the parameters of the problem but other than saying display the PDF in another window - ie save and read it outside the browser, it doesn't offer a solution other than that - http://www.bnl.gov/itd/webapps/pdf_help.asp
I have checked the users machines and they have the items under Preferences - Internet - all items checked.
Thoughts?

Can the files be opened in Preview? If they can, then at least you will know that they are not empty or corrupted.

Why is firefox sliding to the right and I can not open the window?

I have a status bar at the bottom...no problem. The problem is that when I open Firefox I see the icon for several windows opened over lapping and I can not get one of them to maximize for me. They, very quickly, slide to the right and off the screen. I ramdomly slide my mouse, somewhere off the screen and can drag a very vague window back, but it will not stay and slides to the right again. This does not happen with IE.

If still problem try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Windows xp; Current Firefox version; won't open mail tabs on AOL. Explorer still works... Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm Running the current Version of Firefox. Have the most up to date version of Windows XP.
Most recently I've not been able to get any action when I click on AOL "check mail" buttons.
(i.e. new mail, sent mail, etc.) they still work if I go to Explorer... i just hate going that route though...
Anybody else seen this. Strange....
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Ranger Barry

I don't use AOL, so let me give you some general suggestions, in case you haven't already tried them.
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?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Flash video performance poor in Firefox 3 and other newer Gecko-based browsers; fails to detect mouse movement in full-s

Regardless of configuration, I have found Flash video
performance on Firefox 3 to be severely sub-par. Numerous visual
lags occur throughout a typical Youtube video as it cannot seem to
manage to maintain a steady frame rate. When in full-screen, mouse
movement is not detected, forcing me to click in a full-screen
Vimeo video in order to display its controls when I should have
only needed to move the mouse. I was informed that the technical
explanation for this is that Flash isn't triggering MouseEvents
other than MouseEVENT.CLICK.
In my tests, this behavior also occurred in Flashplayers 9
and 10 as well as with recent versions of other browsers that also
use the Gecko rendering engine, namely Camino, Flock and Songbird,
but not in Firefox 2. I was told by a Mozilla employee that this
issue can only be solved by Adobe.
This has forced me to use the Safari browser as my only
available work-around. I implore that these issues get resolved as
quickly as possible.

guys, im exactly experience the same issue here.. any
solution guys? tks in advantage..

Firefox gave a popup window that said "Firefox could not successfully update. You can do it manually" or something like that. I go to the Firefox website and there is no link withing this site to download manually. Is this a spooffing site??

I wanted my Avast! updates to be current. I have not run Avast! again. I just ran it about 1:30 AM local time. I got up from sleeping and just restarted my computer after looking at the summary from Avast! All I did was close Avast! and click "Restart" and re-entered my computer and opened 2 Firefox browsers and 2 Explorer browsers. One of the Firefox browsers said it needed to update which it attempted but then a window popped up that said Firefox could not update and I should do it manually. The other Firefox browser says "Download Firefox for your Android (I don't have Android) and also said "Restore Previous Session" which I will attempt right now.

Hi,

When a html coded page requires the Windows Symbol font, Firefox does not call it, and the English alphabet characters display instead. How can I get the Symbol font to work when the page is loaded in Firefox??

''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/902677''
This site shows Greek letters and Greek words by calling for the Windows Symbol font. The page(s) involved display correctly in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox 3.6.1 or 8.1. In Firefox, the Greek letter does not appear, it is just replaced with the English letter for the equivalent keystroke. Here is a html line that ought to cause Symbol's Greek letter lowercase alpha to be displayed, but all you get is an "a" :
(td width="60")(p align="center")(big)(strong)(font face="Symbol")(span style="font-family: , Symbol")a(/span)(/font)(/strong)(/big)(/td)
**I have had to replace the left and right carets with left and right parentheses. Otherwise, the line actually executes, disappears, and just leaves a bolded "a" on the next line.***

Reemphasizing, the page code works on Internet Explorer. It does _not_ work with Firefox ver 3.6.1 nor ver 8.0.1 (which I upgraded to, to see if that would solve the problem). The MDC FAQ solution is not a solution, because it forces the html coder to change his language just to accommodate Firefox. Firefox needs to change to conform to standards.
What did work was that I followed the solution offered on:
http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/firefox3.html
"How to reenable symbol font in Firefox 3 on Windows"
**********Solution*********
Download the file:
http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/symbol8859.otf
Go to Control Panel/Fonts/Install New Font
Install the font that was downloaded.
************Problem Solved*********
I think Firefox wants you to use _its_ font faces, not the standard Windows fonts. They do not have a Symbol font to replace the Windows TTF, I guess.

At mid-continent library and SABR websites, Proquest pages downoad but they are displaying-only a blank screen displays?

The Pro-Quest and Sporting News pages load into viewing area but do no display...all that is visible is gray, blank page. This issue does not happen when using Safari or IE11.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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
