Problem running web queries on machines with internet explorer 8 installed

Hello All,
We started noticing that a few of our users can no longer execute web queries in MS Excel spreadsheets created from .IQY files exported from Discoverer.
The users get the following error when they attempt to refresh data on their excel worksheet:
"The file could not be accessed. Try one of the following:
*Make sure the specified folder exists.
*Make sure the folder that contains the file is not read-only.
*Make sure the file name does not contain any of the following characters: < > ? [ ] : | or *
*Make sure the file/path name doesn't contain more than 218 characters."
Followed immediately by: "Invalid Web Query"
We believe that we've linked this issue to only occurring with users who've installed Internet Explorer 8, so I'm hoping that it could be some configuration setting that I could tweak, either in their internet settings or on the discoverer server.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
FYI: Our discoverer server is version: 10.1.2.3.0 with CP4, and our clients are using JRE 1.6.0_12, the problem is occurring on my test machine with Excel 2003.
Thanks,
-Scott

After looking into this further I checked firewall settings in Panda A.V. For Firefox they were set to Custom settings which effectively disabled it. I changed setting to Outbound only like Internet Explorer and other programs and Firefox seems to work fine now. Hope this helps others who have experienced this problem. I have teenage children who use computer a lot (Face Book, etc.) so the root of the problem may have been Malware, Adware, or something else but hopefully Panda has taken care of this.

Youtube not running in firefox, but works with internet explorer

when i open you tube in Firefox, it does not run the videos. however the same runs good with internet explorer. a few weeks back the videos were running quite good with Firefox also.

Hi,
You can try to '''Clear Now''' the '''Cache''', '''Cookies''', and '''Site Preferences''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] as well as '''Delete all''' in the Windows '''Control Panel''' > '''Flash Player''' > '''Storage''' tab.
If you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related files in all the different configuration areas/modules of the security software. Instead create new allow/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes. Even otherwise the security software may also ask again when Firefox is started and you can try to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

I am unable to post comments to links on Facebook. This is a recent problem. I can do it with Internet Explorer

All of a sudden, I can no longer post comments on Facebook. I get a dialogue box and type my comments. But when I hit enter, nothing happens. I opened Internet Explorer and the feature works properly. I have, in the past, been able to post on Firefox.

Firefox will not load web page (I also have Internet Explorer 8 installed).

Fire Fox will not load web pages. It may have something to do with proxy settings but I have reset this to Auto-Detect which is where it has always been in the past but still nothing. Something has reset my proxy settings in the past which caused a similar problem but doesn't seem to be the issue this time. I have Internet Explorer 8.0 installed on computer right now and it seems to work.

Printing problem in 2 programs started 2 days ago, only firefox ,works fine with Internet Explorer?

Banking web site has a "Print - Friendly View", text on the upper right side of the page which prints out the account information in a different format if you click on the text. All other print functions work ok. The problem is not their when using Internet Explorer. The other program is at Aflacs Web site, and the problem is very similar. When I click on the text that says "Print copy of Invoice" nothing happens, just like the bank text. They both work perfect with Internet Explorer. The problem started about 2 days ago. When it works right, a window will open up and show you what it is going to print and you click on the "print" text, and it prints. Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Joe Anderson

Unable to read web mail with talktalk but can with internet explorer

I updated to fire fox 4 and since I am unable to read my web mail from my talk talk account. When I try to get into my inbox it tells me I have undefined new mail. I can access my email with internet explorer but not firefox.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why does my Web Handler work with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox

I am trying to develop a web page that uses the Simile Timeline (http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline) with data from SQL Server.
In initial testing of my timeline I tested it with Example.xml, a static XML file in the correct format to be event data. I wrote the following in the appropriate place within mytimeline's Javascript: -
var WebHandler = "Example.xml"
tl.loadXML(WebHandler, function (xml, url) { eventSourceFamily.loadXML(xml, url) });
This worked fine with both Firefox and Internet Explorer. I then changed the assignment to
var WebHandler = "GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=" + getControlValue("input", "hdnUser");
so that invoked a web handler that could look up the SQL database and return the XML that I wanted, and wrote this web handler.
This works perfectly with Internet Explorer, but with FireFox the timeline band is blank. Yet when I examine the http traffic with Fiddler2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) I see that with either browser there is a response from URL
/GDB_pages/GDBTimeline.ashx?Type=Family&Userid=robertb
that returns the XML that it is supposed to.
I have previously used web handlers with Firefox before, with no problems. The Fiddler results conclusively show that the web handler is invoked, and returns the appropriate XML, and this XML is identical to the XML from the static test with Example.xml.
Where do I start looking for answers? I don't even know if this is a Simile problem, a Firefox problem, or an ASP.NET problem.
Thank you, Robert.

Problem solved. The issue: Content Type was not correct.
Visual Studio creates the web handler with dummy code like this: -
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Write("Hello World")
End Sub
I wrote a database query that set a string variable to the XML I wanted: -
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
Dim Outstring as string
' my logic to fill Outstring with XML
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Write(Outstring)
End Sub
This works with Internet Explorer. However it's not strictly correct: to make it work with other browsers as well,
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
should be
context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml"
It now works with IE, FF, and Chrome, and presumably all others.

Javascript problem with Internet Explorer 6

Hi together
I have a problem with IE6 on a JSP page. I want to disable a HTML button calls
'fehlerdetails' if one of radiobutton list has a value "FIID NOK".
This Java script sample below is running with Netscape 7.0 but Internet Explorer get no objects back.
Has everyone a idea how can I read a value from list:
document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked[i]
with Internet Explorer 6??
HTML Radiobutton (Struts):
<html:radio styleClass="radioButton" name="GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean" onclick="checkAccountNr();" property="checked" value="<%= String.valueOf(j) %>">
</html:radio>
HTML Button:
<td><input class='pushbuttonlarge' type="button" value="fehlerdetails" onClick="document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.submit();" name="fehlerdetails"/></td>
Javascript:
function checkAccountNr() {
 document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.fehlerdetails.disabled = false;
 var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked;
 if(document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked > 0) {
 for(i=0; i < radioButtons.length; i++) {
 if(radioButtons.checked) {
 radioButtonAccountNr = radioButtons[i].AccountNr;
 radioButtonFiidText = radioButtons[i].FiidText;
 if (radioButtonAccountNr == "ABACUS-NR NOK" || radioButtonFiidText == "FIID NOK") {
 document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.fehlerdetails.disabled = true;
Thank you very much for you help.
Cheers Robert

first, this is a Java forum, not Javascript, and aside from the first 4 letters, the two have nothing in common.
Second.. if there's more then 1 radio button named 'GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean', this:
var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean.checked;
will be an error.
var radioButtons = document.GetFailedPostingPositionListW3InBean;
for(x=0; x < radioButtons.length; x++) {
 if(radioButtons[x].checked) {
 ... check the value and disable
}

3px framed picture on a Web page with Internet Explorer and Google Chrome appears normal, but Firefox is on the right side frame 9px. Why?

I'm not seeing this.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Could you post an example of the filter message?
This article has more information on the filters built in to Firefox: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ Firefox Phishing and Malware Protection].
It's possible that you also have a Firefox add-on, or external software, that is filtering what you see. However, we don't have enough information to help identify it yet. If you want to review a list of your add-ons, you can find them under: Help > Troubleshooting Information.
