Pop ups wont work in firefox but work in Internet explorer 8 optimized

i love using Firefox, i like that its more customizable than internet explorer but for some reason no matter how many time i uninstall and reinstall i keep having the same problem where pop ups wont work, so if im playing a game on Pogo.com and i have to open a window up, it wont work in Firefox. Is there something i can do to solve this problem, i would like to disable internet explorer on my system and use only Firefox but i need to keep internet explorer for when i need to be able to open a pop-up window.... any help would be greatly appreciated!

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?

About a month ago I updated my adobe flash program & since my MTS accelerator doesn't work on firefox but does on internet explorer. any help?

After this update I couldn't get online because a message said I needed
a proxy server & it couldn't be found. I contacted MTS & they told me
they don't use proxy servers & the MTS rep told me what to do to change that setting & then I was able to get online but the MTS accelerator wouldn't work so The MTS rep told me to uninstall it & download it again but nothing changed. I am a computer nerd so know very little about how the programs work so hope this helps

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

Can't post pics on forum with firefox but can with Internet explorer

I can't post pictures/images on a certain forum when using firefox but when using Internet explorer on the same forum it works. Any solutions please?

Hi Meghraj, Thank you for your reply! I am afraid a screenshot will not reveal much. When I click on "add file" on the forum to post a pic it opens my files and once I select my file that I want to post and click on "open" it goes back to the forum page but the file is not there. When I do this same action with Internet explorer it works. But I don't really use internet explorer and would like to use firefox rather. A few members on the forum using firefox have the exact same problem. Any ideas? Thank you! :)

Signed applet runs in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer

I've signed an applet with
keytool -genkey -validity 3650 -keyalg rsa -alias ddkey
keytool -export -alias ddkey -file ddcert.crt
jarsigner planner.jar ddkey
jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs planner.jar
but loaded from the webserver with...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Planner </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<APPLET CODE="mypack/Planner.class" ARCHIVE="planner.jar" WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%">
<PARAM name="customer" value="mycustomer">
</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>
.... the applet only works with firefox and not in Internet Explorer. Even with a new certificate, IE does not ask me whether I trust the applet or not. Only a blank screen with a red cross..
In spite of having configured "show Java console", the Java console is NOT opened in the task bar, so I cannot add further log messages....
Why do the two browsers behave differently?? How can I fix it?
Appreciate any hint :-)

When I see "it doesn't work in IE" I always have to ask: Windows 7? 64 bits system? Are you sure you are running this in the 64 bits internet explorer? The default IE is the 32 bits version, so if you don't have a 32 bits Java runtime installed applets are not going to work at all, signed or otherwise.

Layer disappears in Safari, off center in Firefox, but perfect in Internet Explorer!

I have a layer of a quicktime file on top of a jpeg image. In Safari 3.1, there is nothing but the jpeg. In Firefox 2.0.0.14, the quicktime box is off to the left and works, though off-center. In Internet Explorer 5.2 (Mac), the quicktime file works as it is supposed to and it is placed correctly.
See: http://www.wissmedia.com/
I am using CS1 GoLIve. This is the first time I have worked with layers.
Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

The QuickTime file is working for me in Safari. Still having Safari problems there, or was that already fixed? Are the right QuickTime plug-ins already installed for Safari?
The difference placement by the different browsers is probably more due to the size of your browser window than anything else - change the width of your browser window and you'll see that the page content centers while the Layer stays put, as it's positioned from the top and left edges of the page. To get the layer to center with the rest of the content, see this tutorial:

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 [[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 or otherwise make changes.

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.

I am able to type a search word in but on clicking it, nothing changes. No results. the word just stays there.

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?

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.
