Quicktime and firefox issues

when installed, quicktime overwrites flash files, like youtube or any ads that use flash, with the quicktime logo with "?". before, if i uninstalled quicktime, flash would work again.
now even with quicktime uninstalled, firefox promts that the "quicktime plug-in only works with quicktime version 5 or later and to visit apple.com to download quicktime". installing quicktime 7.1.6 leads to the disappearance of all flash once again.
this problem only happens in firefox; flash works fine in both Internet Explorer and Opera.
EDIT: when quicktime IS installed, the only MIME settings selected are for quicktime movie. nothing under the Misc. category is selected.
this has been entirely frustrating and any help that can be offered would be extremely appreciated.
Windows XP

How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Windows 8.1 and Firefox issues

Bought a new laptop, Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5215. AMD A6410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics 2.00 GHz. 4 GB RAM, 63 bit operating system, x62 based processor. 1 TB memory. Came with Windows 8.1 on it. This has been very frustrating.
I THINK Firefox 33.1.1 downloaded. I say "think" because in trying to fix issues, somewhere I saw Firefox - PART, but now I do not know where I saw this.
I just ran a search on "THIS PC" for Firefox and have 2 screens of listings.
One issue: I use yahoo for email. When I click to open a message, I can not scroll down. I have to click IN the message, and then arrow down. The scroll bar on the far right takes up the entire range, so it cannot be moved down.
Second issue: In working on things, I tried moving Firefox to Safe Mode. Now, my first problem is that the instructions to do this say to use the Menu button and the ? button; in fact, all I had to do was click on Help in the menu across the top of the page, and then click on disable add ons. So that took me some time, just to get in to Safe Mode.
Once in Safe Mode, the menu across the top disappeared, so I could not get back IN to help to exit Safe Mode!
In Safe Mode, the touchpad was disabled; I had to go get a mouse and connect that to move around.
Yes, once I did THAT, and went in to yahoo mail, I could open a message and have a scroll bar on the right to move down the message.
I had to reboot to exit Safe Mode.
Then I had to go enable the touch pad.
Now I have no scroll bar when I open an email message in yahoo mail.
Next issue. Firefox is S L O W. I've used it for years on 4 or 5 other computers, never seen it this slow. It is so slow that I keep getting 'NOT RESPONDING' across the top of the page. I do not do anything and eventually the page DOES load. This happens with any site: Facebook, this Support site, craigslist, yahoo mail, any place I go to. I have not found that it is site specific.
Next issue. Periodically the cursor locks up. Nothing I do releases it. Once in a while I wait and it becomes responsive again; other times, I have to reboot.
Next issue: sometimes I have to click once, sometimes I have to double click ON THE SAME BUTTON. This happens when I am in a forum and want to post a reply, as one example. Sometimes one click on the REPLY button do it. Other times, I have to double click. It is not constant ON THE SAME FORUM.
That's what I've got, for now. Any help much appreciated.

Here are the 2 pages of listings when I search Firefox on "this computer"

CSS :: IE and FireFox issues

Hi.
I am developing a website (
see
here) using CSS which displays fine in IE. However, when I view
it in FireFox, I have two major issues:
1. On all pages, the navigation bar seems to be stretched and
hence the links become offset.
2. On the 'Info' page, the tariffs table is stretched
vertically.
Does anyone know how to solve these two very annoying issues?
Thanks in advance.
Tom.
ps. I can give you the css/html files if this helps.

Change your 'padding' to as below:
#menu {
position:absolute;
padding: 0 0 10px 0;
margin:0;
left:161px;
top:110px;
height:2em;
width:830px;
list-style-type:none;
border:1px solid #bbb;
background-color:#EEE;
> 2. On the 'Info' page, the tariffs table is stretched
vertically.
Many html tags including <p> paragraph and <h>
headings have default
margins and paddings. This is what you are seeing, which
makes the table
stretch vertically.
Add an 'id' to the tarifs table called surprisingly or not
'tarifs' as
below:
<table id="tarifs" width="483" border="0" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
Then add this css to your style sheet:
#tarifs p, #tarifs h2 {
margin: 0 0 0 0;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
You can change the values until you have the correct amount
of space,
top, right, bottom, left

Cookies and Firefox issue

I am having an issue with my site (I did not develop it, but
I am versed in CF enough to understand any solutions you might
have)....
Here is the problem...
First, this is only an issue in Firefox. IE, Safari etc...
etc.... do not have this problem.
When you attempt to login, the page shows a message "Logging
you in..." it then appears to be redirecting (as it should) to the
requested page after successful login. But, it just flickers and
then nothing. You are not logged in, no errors either from CF or
from the code. Meaning there is nothing displayed to the user. So
after a few tries users are giving up and leaving the site. What I
have found is that if you clear the cookies then you can login and
all is well.
Upon further investigation, I logged into the admin side of
the site, chose a user at random who had not logged in in more than
a week. I tried to login to the site with his username and
password, I could not (user and pwd are correct). After I could not
login with his credentials, I tried my own and they too did not
work although they did just prior to logging in with his. I cleared
the cookies, and then it worked. (mine and his credentials).
I also ttried, deleting just the cookies for my site and that
doesn't work. It is only when you delete ALL cookies via the Clear
Private Data, uncheck everything except cookies method that it
works. So I'm stumped. I don't know if it is firefox, or my code,
or the server, or IIS or what. Any clues that you folks can shed
would be great. If anyone else is experiencing this sort of
behavior please tell me what you have done. Again, I did not
develop the site so technical details are a bit sketchy and I am
trying to help the developer track this down.
Essentially the site is developed in CF version 8, the login
logic is CF/AJAX with javascript form field validation on the
client. The webserver is IIS 6, the server itself is patched, the
backend is SQL 2005 SP3 and again, this works flawlessly in other
browsers.
I appreciate any assistance.

you said nothing about how your login framework is designed.
are you using cflogin?
did you make your own login framework based on session
vars/whatever?
are you using regular cf sessions or j2ee sessions? (you
should do the
latter, imho).
let's start with that. post your code that performs login and
the code
that checks for login state. post you application settings as
well.
FF (as well as other browsers) has a feature to re-open
previous tabs on
start-up. this feature makes FF aggressively cache pretty
much
everything it can get its hands on, and never release it
unless the user
tells FF to clear out private data.
your application needs to be designed with this and similar
features in
mind.
post relevant code for starters.

Quicktime and Firefox

I've got a 64-bit Vista machine with both the latest versions of Firefox and Quicktime installed. Whenever I try and play a .mov file in Firefox it plays just fine but the control bar at the bottom is blacked out and I have no control over the pause/play and slider buttons. This hasn't happened to me before, how can I fix this?

I have never, ever, had trouble in over two years, once iTunes came out in usable 64-bit, to use Minefield and QT. Yes, plug-ins (like QT and Flash) are 32-bit, but I still don't need to run in any kind of "mode."

Lion: Good maintenance program and Firefox issues

Hi,
Does anyone know of any general maintenance programs for Lion OS on a 2011 iMac and 2009 MacBook Pro, because I had to delete Mackeeper. Also, I'm having issues with Firefox because I get the spinning wheel when I'm working on it. This never happened with Snow Leopard. Looking forward to you're responses.
Thanks,
Michael

If you want to go back to Snow
How can I uninstall OS X Lion and go back to Snow Leopard?
1: Copy your user file folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music, not Library) to a external blank Disk Utility formatted HFS drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect all drives. Make a note of your username and hard drive name. Write down any essential information like passwords stored in keychains and product serial keys.
2: Stick the 10.6 installer disk into the machine and reboot holding the c key down. Second screen in choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
3: On the left select the hard drive makers name or actual description of your internal boot drive (not the name you gave the boot drive that's just the one OS X partition) then click Erase and Erase... button (if you want to wipe the drive of all lingering data then choose Security Option>Zero all data) when choosing a name for the OS X partition/drive, use the same drive name as before.
4: Quit and install 10.6, then go through setup, reboot and use the same user name as before. Software Update, install programs from fresh sources (enter any serial keys) Hold Option and click on Purchases in AppStore to redownload (not Lion of course) and then finally return user files to their respective folders on the Snow Leopard drive.
5: If you have issues with iPhoto, you can right click on the iPhoto Library and "Show Package contents" and in there is a folder with all your originals. Copy them out and delete the iPhoto Library and reboot, restart iPhoto and it should be recreated, which you can then import your copied originals again.
Note: using the same drive and user name as before, returning files exactly into their respective Music, Documents and Pictures folders like before matches any pathnames some files like iTunes has to the location of your files. If not done, then exclamation points will occur in iTunes when you click on a song. The iTunes Library will have to be opened in Text Edit and all the partial pathnames "find and replace" corrected to repair.
Optional, but recommended.
Ideally it's best to first Carbon Copy Cloner the 10.7 internal to another blank external OS X Extended (aka HFS+) drive before doing the above steps 1-5 as that way you have a copy of everything in case you missed something or you need to hold option boot from the 10.7 clone. The clone can later be erased and used as a 10.6 clone. Or reversed cloned back onto the internal drive or as many external drives as needed. (don't boot a clone on a different Mac, you can access the files though)
Clones are hold option key bootable, TimeMachines drives are not.
Note: The above steps are ONLY for Mac's that didn't come with Lion preinstalled. For reverting a factory Lion to Snow Leopard requires other methods.

QuickTime and Applescript issue.

I am having an issue with applescript and QT 7 Pro. Last year I wrote a script and it uses a folder action and converts our footage into DV stream format acceptable to our on-air Windows server. Well, it works beautifully in QT 6.5 Pro/Panther. A 30 second clip takes only a few seconds to convert. But with Tiger and QT 7, encoding with the same script, it pretty much takes real time to encode it. Now, if I manually export it with QT 7 Pro with the same settings the script calls, it goes at the fast speed it does under 6.5.2. It seems the lethal combination is applescript and QT 7. Does anyone have any ideas or have heard of this problem? Thanks.

IFrame and Firefox issue

I am using this code,
<iframe height="100%" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="width:100%;border:none" src="http://magdelinelum.wordpress.com/"></iframe>
As far as I can tell it's correct. However I can't seem to get the frame to display correctly in firefox. Displays fine in Safari.
This is the relevant link to the page I'm trying to set up in iWeb.

Thanks in advance.

I fiddled with the code and got it to work.

Spry Panels and FireFox issue

I can't get my spry panels to position correctly in Firefox but are fine in the other browsers. Can someone please advise??
Thanks!

Hello,
In the sprymenubarvertical.css file, try changing position:
static; to
position: relative;
in the ul.MenuBarVertical li style.
Also, you should get rid of the link to test.css as it's an
html page in a
css file.
Take care,
Tim

QuickTime and DVD issues

Hey I'm running WXP on my PC, the problem is that I have the new QuickTime 7 and I purchased the Pro key but I can't watch DVD movies on it. So how I am supose to copy my vidios into my ipod if I can't get the program to open them.

QT cannot by itself read DVD files, which are usually in mpeg-2 format. Apple sells an mpeg2playback component but it does have a number of restrictions, which are listed in this FAQ. The most limiting are that it will not play encrypted commercial movie DVDs and will not play the sound if it was encoded using AC3 format sound. It also will not export the sound even from those mpeg-2 files for which it will play sound.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/faq.html
This Windows freeware will create iPod movies from avi and mpeg--1 files but I don;t know if it will work with mpeg-2 movies.

Flash and Firefox issue

I have a flash file that uses an AS3 script to jump to random labels in order to play a different movie clip on each keyframe. The file works great in Safari and even Explorer, but for some reason it will not run in Firefox. Any ideas? I have attached the script-
function getRandomLabel():String {
var labels:Array = new Array("patients", "renters", "subscribers","members", "applicants","guest","drivers","customers","tourist","registrants");
var index:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * labels.length);
return labels[index];
this.gotoAndStop(getRandomLabel());
Thanks

Here is the embed code. This is the flash generated html file. The file loads and will play after a couple refreshes however, it only plays the movie clip on one frame. I dumbed the file down to AS2 Flash Player 8 and it loaded and played without the refresh but it still only plays the same frame.

Firefox 14 and JDownloader2 Issue

Jdownloader2 and Firefox issues
Hello!
Approx. an one month ago I have faced with the strange bug or what a hack is it.
When I`m downloading with JDownloader2 without browsing with Firefox, everything is ok.
When I start the Firefox and I start to browse the internet, Firefox can not open the requsted pages.I receive "bad request", "secure connection can not be established (on NON SECURE pages!!!)", "The connection has been reseted", instead of the requested page I see the html code of the page or Firefox wants to download or open the page on the strange way. After a while Firefox can not connect nowhere.Even the Forecast toolbar and Xmarks is reporting the "Connection Lost" or "connection failed".
After a while JDownloader will "loose" the connection also. Its reporting Host problem or connection problem with every host.
After closing of JDownloader2 I close the Firefox, so no visible window of Firefox or JDownloader seen. BUT, if I trie to relunch the Firefox, it reports that Firefox is already running and it needs to be closed first!
I have investigated this with Process Explorer and I saw that Firefox is really running as Java.exe too. Moreover I could not kill any of them, because access was denied.
I have closed all ports remaining from JDownloader2 and Firefox, but they processes could not be killed anyway.
I meant time I have noticed, that Windows Explorer has slowed down (respons time was 5-10 seconds!).The CPU meter gadget showed some strange CPU usage like 09%,02%, etc
I have to restart my PC to solve this problem. Before a month ago I didn`t have these problem. Be so kind and help me to solve this problem, please!
I already did:
1.Uninstall and reinstall Java 7update 5
2.Uninstall and reinstall JDownloader 2
3.I have checked the Firewal of ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.1.079.000.Every instance of the Firefox, Java, Jawav and JDownloader 2 has unrestricted access to internet.They are "Super trusted" processes. There is no web scan or similar to turn off.Anyway, I didn`t change anything, before this problem occured.
Everything is happaning only with Firefox-JDownloader2 combination.
I have:
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32 bit
Firefox 14.01
JDownloader 2
Java 7Update 5
AMD Athlon II X2 240, 2,80 Ghz
4 GB RAM

I have been suggested by JIAZ(JD support), that this is typical firewall/av issue. Kaspersky had this before and AntiMalwareBytes.If I`m correct, ZA AV engine is Kaspersky, so I investigate the problem from this site
I have uninstalled ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.1.079.000 and tried downloading with JD2 and browsing with Firefox 14.01. I had only few times that Firefox wants to download or open the page on the strange way, but let say, it works fine with JD2 and Java 7.5.
I decided to upgrade ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.1.079.000 to ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 10.2.074.000.
So far, everything is working fine! I can download with JD2 (Java 7.5) and browsing with Firefox 14.01 in the same time!
Moreover:
Version history:
ZoneAlarm version 10.2.074.000
Added: Italian language localization
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 10.2.073.000
Optimized: Installer, component installation order
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 10.2.072.000
'''Added: Firefox 14 support'''
Fixed issue: Chrome configuration fix
Fixed issue: ZA Free, messaging usability improvements
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security version 10.2.068.000
'''Added: Firefox 14 support'''
Added: Stop all internet activity option
Added: Snooze AV or Firewall for 5 mins option
Improved: Security toolbar
Improved: AV engine
Improved: Installer
Fixed issue: Riskware options usability
Fixed issue: Various other improvements and fixes
It was my fault! Sorry! Thank You for Your time and effort! Maybe this issue will help to someone else too...

Chrome and Firefox no longer launch quicktime

Hi,
I tried to watch some trailers at apple.com. The larger ones which are .mov files no longer automatically launch quicktime when I click the link.
I can copy the link, then go to quicktime and say open URL, that works fine, so files and quicktime are OK.
.mov and mp4 are both file types are both set to open with quicktime
This worked a couple of weeks ago, I have not changed anything except for some apple software updates.
Any idea what is happening?
Chrome shows up to date version 13.0.782.220
Firefox 6.0.1
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)

I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one having this issue lol. I was starting to get really frustrated with this.
I took my Macbook to the Apple Store for another issue and asked the rep about this. He simply implied that it was probably a business decision on Apple's part. He even downloaded Firefox on one of his Macbooks while I was right there with Lion installed, same thing happened, it wouldn't launch Quicktime.

The rogue bracket may only be part of the problem. What's this below - 0px; top: 2px; ???? Seems as though you declared the position further up the css cascade top: 8px; left: 0px; ?????
#box-link2 {
    position: absolute;
    top: 8px;
    left: 0px;
    width: 83px;
    height: 83px;

I have added a display to my iMac and have it as an "extended desktop" - my Fidelity acct. stock charts won't go over to the other monitor however. Is it a Firefox issue?

I want to use a 2nd monitor to have my stock charts off by themselves - that way they're easier to read. My Fidelity ActiveTrader Pro web site lets me create many charts, but when I try to drag one of them over to the other monitor, I just see my pointer, no chart. The web site just creates a scroll bar and I have to put the chart next to the current one. Is this a Firefox issue and, if so, what do I need to do? Something in Preferences? I didn't see anything. Thanks

We've already done all of that. And we used the same thunderbolt cable to connect two iMac's and that worked totally fine doing the Command+ F2. I don't understand why we can't get the macbook to do the same.
