Pages won't display only in Firefox, even in safe mode (I can see requests and replies coming back but it seems like the page rendering cancels).

I have tried safe mode, all the options outlined here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can
This doesn't seem to be related to any particular site. When I try to access a web server running locally on my machine, I can see that the request is sent and the server responds as well. But the page will not render.
What I'm trying to do:
1. Open firefox, navigate somewhere (works)
2. Browse around
3. Seemingly at random, when clicking a link, it will stay in the state a:active and the new address will be displayed in the address bar, but page content will not be rendered (link still active, as I was holding the mouse button on it)
One site that it happens with, is http://fortumo.com
happens in safe mode, with or without addons and doesn't seem to be affected by the theme either.

Anything unusual if you check the Net log or the Network tab in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K)?

Note that you need to reload the page (F5 or Ctrl+F5) to create/update the log.

I changed Java settings and now Firefox crashes as it opens, even in safe mode; how can I fix this?

I was trying to change settings to access the comments section of Slate.com. Right or wrong, I changed a Java setting from -1 to 2. The setting was in about:config and I believe it involved some sort of max. As I cannot open anything, I am not sure.
When I made the change, firefox crashed immediately, Every time I have tried to reopen, even in safe mode, it immediately crashes again and will not reopen.

Hi pternagy,
Sorry you are having problems.
For future reference. Those of us that mess directly with about:config soon learn how to recover from mistakes and what it is sensible to backup. Occasionally backing up your entire profile for instance can be useful and would have probably given you a quick solution of copying over the file from that backup.
*[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
Ok on to the subject of trying to get Firefox back as it was:
Find your profile and the file ''prefs.js'' and rename that. (The renamed file is a potentially useful backup.) Firefox is then forced to regenerate the file and will reset your preferences to the default. You can then re open and use Firefox. Next try to get it back to normal.
Trying to manually edit the file ''prefs.js'' is normally a bad idea. However if it is a single pref change it may be possible to directly edit the prefs.js file (whilst Firefox is closed) to get everything back to how it was before . You have the renamed file to work with. Probably best to test all this out in a new additional profile then you only break additional test profiles not working profiles essential to Firefox.

You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

Ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages incompatible with icloud. If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad. Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad.

I have the original ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages 1.7.2 and backing up to icloud. If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad. Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad. Is there anyway stopping icloud from changing the version and is there a way to recover the old version of the document on my ipad?

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

When I open Firefox, even in safe mode, it causes my Windows 7 64-bit to totally crash and I get that blue screen of death =(. This has happened suddenly on Nov 16, 2010. I had been running Firefox on Windows 7 64-bit with no problems previously. Help?

I have had Windows 7 64 bit for the past year and have run Firefox with no problem. It was the most problem free of the three browsers including IE and Chrome.
I have a Vista side where I run my online backup and did so yesterday. Went on Firefox. No Problem.
Today I booted into the Windows 7 side. Seemed to boot up okay. Until I opened Firefox. Suddenly, my whole computer crashed, windows shut down and that bluescreen popped up. I restarted normally. Same thing. I restarted in safe-mode. Couldn't find any problems. Went back to regular mode. Started FF. Boom crash.
Back to safe mode. Did a system restore. Back to regular startup. Didn't help. Attempting to open FF crahed windows.
So back to safe mode. Started Firefox. Crashed the whole computer and same blues screen.
So I uninstalled FF. Reinstalled FF. It still makes Windows crash.
So now I am on IE :P

See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

How can i save and download word documents on my ipad without the pages app

Need to know how to save documents on my ipad so i can share the same version of documents between my computer and my ipad on the same network. I do not have the pages app. and Most of the documents are either pdfs of word docs. so need to be able to save them on ipad and retrieve them when i am on the move. Pls help?

You have to have an app on the iPad that is compatible with the particular file type that you want to save, edit or share. You can look at any of the word processing apps - Pages is one, Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro - but you have to have one like that in order to save and edit Word files.
With pdf files - iBooks will work to save them - but that's all. Other apps like GoodReader will let you annotate them.
You have to decide which app will serve your needs best and them download them in order to save, edit and share those file types.

Firefox won't start (not even in Safe Mode) on Windows 7 x64

I am Running Windows 7 x64 and Firefox 3.6.15.
Since the day before yesterday I am unable to start Firefox. Even in Safe Mode it just won't start.
I click the Firefox icon, the mouse cursor changes to indicate the computer is doing something. After 3 seconds or so the mouse cursor again changes back to its default state. Nothing else happens.
The Task Manager in Windows shows me that an instance of firefox.exe is running, but I see no Firefox window.
Then if I again click to open Firefox, another firefox.exe instance starts, but again I see no Firefox window.
There isn't even a warning about one instance of Firefox already running.
What I have tried:
I have uninstalled Firefox, removed all the Firefox files and folders from c:\users\username\AppData\Local and Roamning. I re-downloaded the 3.6.15 installation package and re-installed.
No change.

I have the same problem.
The only Firefox version working is the 64bit nightly build 6.0a1. No 32Bit version of Firefox works!. Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer all work well.
Another Problem I have in this context is, that the Firefox Installer hangs in the tidy up step - even for the nightly 64Bit version. I have to kill the setup.exe process but the Installation seems to be completed.
Before my change to Win7 64Bit I had OpenText NFS Solo 14 installed on a 32Bit Windows7 and no Problems.
Is there a solution for this problem without uninstalling OpenText NFS Solo 14?
I need the NFS Server at work.

Photo page won't display properly in safari

Hi everyone!
I'm completely new to building websites and need some of your expert advice?
For some reason my photo pages won't display properly in Safari but ok in Firefox?
It worked fine a week ago and I can't think what I've done wrong since I republished last night?
http://www.abeledo.talktalk.net/losavellanos/House.html
Can anyone help?
I'll buy you a pint!
Cheers

No luck unfortunately.
I changed the background to a solid and made the changes that you suggested roddy, but neither seemed to work. I know I must be doing something wrong? Do the photos appear ok with you roddy? All I see, is half the page i.e nav bar, top image, 'the house & garden etc text and top half of the darker box where the thumbnails should appear. And this happens with all 3 photo pages currently on the site.

I've been clearing my cache in both browsers every time I republish.
I've also tried upgrading to the new 3.0.3 beta Safari? You'd think - out of all the browsers- iWeb would work seamlessly with Safari wouldn't you? - Firefox is fine.
Do you think I should start from scratch?

.cfm pages won't display on CF10 on Windows server 2008

I have a new VPS setup that has CF10 running on a Windows 2008 box. My site is setup in IIS and I can navigate to any root folder in browser. That's because the root folder(s) recognizes index.cfm as a default page. However, any time I click a link or manually enter a URL string that contains ".cfm" (even on index.cfm pages that display without the actual full path written out) it throws a 404 error. Has anyone else run into this? I know the site is running correctly because like I said, if you enter the following URL: http://www.kyndoutdoors.com/ it will display correctly. However, if you enter http://www.kyndoutdoors.com/index.cfm it will error. HELP!

The wildcard handler handles urls without filenames (http://www.kyndoutdoors.com/), and that appears to be working. However, the specific IIS handler mappings for "*.cfm" does not appear to be. You might try using the ColdFusion Web Server Configuration Tool (WSConfig) to remove the IIS connectors (then restart IIS), and then re-add the connectors.
Another thought: were your IIS sites added to IIS after ColdFusion was installed and configured for IIS? If so, the connectors appear to not be propogating forward for new sites. I've seen this behavior before with ColdFusion 9 and IIS 7.5, but CF10 seems to handle this better. Again, removing and re-adding the connectors seems to resolve these situations for me.
EDIT:
Hmmm. 404 errror actually makes me think this may be a file permissions issue. What account is the ColdFusion service running as? Make sure that account has permissions to the folder containing your website(s).

Firefox won't keep me logged into Facebook, even in Safe Mode?

This problem has been bugging me, for God knows how long and I just can't get rid of it, unless I reset Firefox which is really not want I want to be doing just to get rid of this tiny, but irritating problem.
Firefox never remembers to be signed in still to Facebook, even in Safe Mode without extensions.
How can I get rid of this problem? If it isn't possible without resetting, I'd like a simple and concise tutorial on how to get all my extensions and settings back (however obviously not the one that keeps causing this problem). I've been using this Firefox profile for at least a good few years and it's all set up properly for my personal use. Thanks.

firefox is able to keep different cookie settings on a per-site basis. those probably got cleared when you forgot the history about facebook. you can inspect the current permissions while you're on a site when you right-click it, go to ''view page info > permissions''. if you haven't changed that yourself intentionally, then i also don't really know what might have caused that - maybe an addon was interfering?

Firefox is hung upm in memory after a system recovery. How can you reset when you cant get your browser up. I have uninstall several times even in safe mode

after doing the recovery, I am getting message that firefox is running and I can't get a browser up. Have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, even in safe mode. All cookies out. have rebooted several times. all to no avail. I can't reset it if I can't get a browser and find no button on your page to reset. Can someone tell what to do?

Note that using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because not all files are restored (only files in a white-list), so be cautious with using System Restore.
*You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files.
*You may need to (re)install software that was affected.
In case you need to reinstall Firefox then you need to delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling to make sure that all files get replaced.
You can find the full version of the latest Firefox 25.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

MailOnline videos won't play in Firefox unless in safe mode although they're fine in Explorer.

It's for my mum, honest. Firefox 25, java and flash uptodate but the Mail Online videos won't play unless I start Firefox in safemode. A large white rectangle appears but nothing else.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
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 > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
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.
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
