Orkut login on Ubuntu 10.10 using firefox 3.6.13

Hi,
I am novice to Ubuntu10.10. I am unable to login to the Orkut using firefox 3.6.13 under Ubuntu 10.10. I can login to orkut with same credentials on Windows XP. I guess the problem might be with Java. I have already installed the java plug in. When I type about: Plugins in url, I can see Java(TM) Plug0in 1.6.0_22. I have also installed JDK and other available stuff from canonical partners.
Also I faced the similar problem for registering to https://launchpad.net/+login site using firefox 3.6.13 under ubuntu 10.10. I do not see continue button when I try from Ubuntu Firefox.
Please take a look and advise some direction.
Thanks for your time.
Ashish

Thanks cor-el for taking time to investigate and reply. Sorry for the delay on my part, I tried the suggestions you made but it did not help.
Actually the problem turnout with the firewall . I just disabled some firewall settings and was able to login again. I will investigate further to understand how to configure firewall properly to white list some sites.
Thanks again.

Flash does not play smooth in Ubuntu 10.04 using Firefox or any other browser

ubuntu 10.04 64bit
Firefox 3.6.3
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100423 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3
Flash Player version 10,1,53,64
I have a dual boot configuration with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 64. While flash videos are watchable, they are not nearly as smooth in Ubuntu 10.04 64 as in Windows 7 especially when I switch to fullscreen. I use firefox as my default browser in both operating systems. Actually, I have tried the newest versions of Google Chrome, SeaMonkey, Opera and others yet the problem still remains. I have tried disabling Compiz as well. Nothing seems to help except switching to Windows 7 to watch fullscreen flash videos. While this works, it is not the solution that I would prefer. Anyone know any way to make flash videos in firefox or any other browser in linux play as well as they do in Windows?

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
If you haven't done so, using Disk Utility in your Applications/Utilities folder.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

Cannot open .jnlp file when asked to open with firefox web browser in ubuntu 11.10 using firefox 6

After upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 the firefox 6 browser cannot download and open .jnlp file from the interactivebrokers website. Usually I go to the IB website and download tws.jnlp file which is opened in the firefox web browser. But now when I click on the Open with Firefox Browser button, the firefox browser opens a new tab and display the same open window again.

Seems that after upgrading to 11.10, jnlp files open with firefox instead of javaws (Java Web Start).
If you right click the file on the download folder and choose "open with" you can manually select java web start.
Ubuntu bug...
You can right click any .jnlp file and select "properties", go to "Open With" tab, mark Sun Java 6 Web Start and click "Set as Default". Should fix it. I don't know what would happen if you have the default ubuntu java instead of Sun's. Maybe this wouldn't be necessary.

How can I login to an online course using firefox?

I have a Mac OS X, version 10.6.4. I installed the mozilla firefox browser to enable to follow online courses. When I try to login, it says that my browser is unable to read their password or something like that. Whatever. I cannot get in.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I tried to take the online course.

Chris, thank you for responding. I am, totally, computer illiterate. I just want to begin my onlines courses and I do not know how to activate my browser in order to login to the online course. I thought all of this was automatic. I know the Mozilla Firefox functions, but I can't login so I think it is something simple that I do not know to do.

I can't login google's gmail even using firefox latest version, even I turn all cookies on. please help.

My firefox version is: 15.0.1. I can go to the Google's gmail page, but can't log in. I was asked:
"Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on. [?]". I follow the direction to turn cookies on. It is already on, but still can't log in since I got above message again. Why?
Thanks,

Hi There,
Thanks so much for getting back to me. Yes, all three of those boxes are checked. Literally nothing changed between when everything was working, which has been for months, and when it all of a sudden stopped, which was earlier today. I just suddenly couldn't do anything or open either account. Now I can open my regular Gmail account at least occasionally, but everything takes about a year and a half and just says Still working...; I still can't open the work account at all.
I don't know what I was supposed to see when I clicked Show Folder, but I tried to follow the instructions at the link about corrupted cookies and neither of the two files I was supposed to be looking for were anywhere on the screen, so I couldn't delete them. The whole thing is just inexplicable and I'm helpless.
Thanks again.

Unable to load CSV data using APEX Data Load using Firefox/Safari on a MAC

I have APEX installed on a Windows XP machine connected to an 11g database on the same Windows XP machine.
While on the windows XP, using IE 7, I am able to successfully load a CSV spreadsheet of data using the APEX Data Load utility.
However, if I switch to my MacBook Pro running OS X leopard, then login into same APEX machine using Firefox 2 or 3 or Safari 3, then try to upload CSV data, it fails on the "Table Properties" step when it asks you for the name of the new table and then asks you to set table properties, the table properties just never appear (they do appear in IE 7 on Windows XP) and if you try to hit the NEXT button, you get error message: "1 error has occurred. At least one column must be specified to include in new table." and of course, you can't specify the any of the columns because there is nothing under SET TABLE PROPERTIES in the interface.
I also tried to load data with Firefox 2, Firefox 3 (beta), and Safari 3.1, but get same failed result on all three. If I return to the Windows XP machine and use IE 7.0, Data Load works just fine. I work in an ALL MAC environment, it was difficult to get a windows machine into my workplace, and all my end users will be using MACs. There is no current version of IE for the MAC, so I have to use Firefox or Safari.
Is there some option in Firefox or Safari that I can turn on so this Data Load feature will work on the MAC?
Thanks for your help. Any assistance appreciated.
Tony

I managed to get this to work by saving the CSV file as Windows CSV (not DOS CSV), which allowed the CSV data to be read by Oracle running on Windows XP. I think the problem had to do with different character sets being used for CSV on MAC versus CSV on Windows. Maybe if I had created my windows XP Oracle database with Unicode as the default character set, I never would have experienced this problem.

Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads 66% and then hangs. Has anyone else reported having this issue?

Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution website (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads about 66% and then hangs (loading). I have let it load until NFCU asks me if I want to cancel the session, a much to long of a load time. Has anyone else reported having this issue with NFCU or Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18?
I have also posed the question to NFCU, currently awaiting response and will share what was given.

My Hotmail login details only save in IE, but do not retain when using Firefox as broswer. There seems to be something in FAQ's, but can't resolve

When using IE, my Hotmail details, always save for next login (using the "keep me logged in" tick box).
Using Firefox to open Hotmail, my details are never retained and (using the "keep me logged in" tick box also), I have to put full details in each time, rather annoying....does Microsoft do this on purpose to retain IE users?
As mentioned above, there does seem to be something in the FAQ's, but even following this, i can't seem to get this to stop happening, so whilst wishing to use Firefox more often, for Hotmail access this is a bit of a pain!!!

I'm not sure whether such Hotmail features work with Firefox.

Can't login using Firefox. (Mac OS X)

I can't login to Adobe or the forum using Firefox (v30.0) Mac, which is my main browser. I'm only logged in right now using Safari.
Here is a screen shot of the errors in the error console.
I see this problem in archived threads, and they seemed to have solved it by disabling the extension HTTPS-Anywhere, but I don't have that extension.

You are right. Somehow I was in the beta channel. By the time I made this reply, I was already up to Firefox 31, which had the same problem.
I just did a clean install of Firefox, and got off the beta channel, however the problem is that I'm still now with Firefox 30 and it has the same problem.
It's weird. When I go to login, the page hangs, but when I leave the page to go to another Adobe page, I'm already logged in.
However if I try to do anything like see my licenses, I get sent back to the login page and it hangs.
Here I am again, posting from Safari.

I am trying to use firefox as the web lauch for citrix ica but when I go to login into remote site - I get the message waiting to find website but it nver finds the website. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am trying to use firefox as the web lauch for citrix ica client but when I go to login into remote site - I get the message waiting to find website but it nver finds the website. Has anyone else had this problem?
When I installed firefox, it asked if I wanted to use safari settings and I said yes but I think this might be causing the problem. Safari is no longer compatible with citrix ica client. When I reinstalled firefox it automatically installs the safari info. Does anyone know how to re-install firfox without installing safari info?

Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
doubt there's an issue there.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
(and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
Thanks....

Can't login using Firefox

When I try to login to the forum using Firefox (v. 18.0) I get stuck in an eternal redirection loop, making it impossible for me to login using Firefox. I can log in to other parts fo the Adobe site (e.g. the bug tracker) and it works fine using IE, so it seems to be a conflict between the forum and Firefox specifically.
The following is the page I'm trying to login using:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=ca&returnurl=http://forums.adobe.com /adobe_login&loc=en
When I click the "Sign in" button I get stuck on an empty page that contains just the following:
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Redirecting...</title>
          <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://forums.adobe.com/adobe_login" />

It's possible I have some Firefox plugin installed that's causing the problem. I looked at previous posts and saw that Firefox users have had issues with the forums in the past, but I didn't see anything more recently. Given this, I just thought it was worth mentioning in case others are experiencing it too.
Is this a general problem, or just me?

Hi,
I'm having same issue with FireFox 18.0.1 (latest version as of today) and IE v9.0.81 ?
It only works in Chrome.
Here's FF error http://i.imgur.com/GVfrmoj.jpg
IE error http://i.imgur.com/Foq5i8E.jpg
I do not have HTTPS-Everywhere plugin installed and not even on IE.
Using Chrome I can't even try to attach picture to this post all I get is this: http://i.imgur.com/yb5BpRy.jpg

Problem with Flash player in Ubuntu 11.04 for Firefox

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop and use firefox as my main browser.
I have a very strange experience when browsing video sites like Youtube.com or Bumperhit.com
Some videos are playing all right.
But some others, show an error message "Please install Flash Player" etc etc.
I am unable to understand, why this is happening only for some videos?
Also when I try to install the flash Player from Adobe's site, there is no option to save the program.
I would like to save the program, so that I have to download the installable multiple times.
Thank you in advance for your valuable guidance.
Regards
Sujata

Adobe offers the Flash installer as a tar.gz archive and as an rpm archive.<br />
Both files can be opened with a proper archive manager and you can copy to libflashplayer.so to a plugins folder in the Firefox Profile Folder (you need to create that folder) or to another folder that Firefox scans for plugins if you do not want to install the plugin via the software installer.

How can I use firefox between windows 7 & windows XP on a network, where we are using Samba server. If a user logs on different workstation(and OS) with same account.

we have a Linux fileserver with Samba share and have several users.
The users tend to be in different locations and need to login at different workstations, sometimes the workstation may be WindowsXP and othertimes it is windows7.
How can we use Firefox & Thunderbird in this situation.
I find that Windows7 uses compressed files to store the location information.
when a user logs on to win7 it creates a new account.
