Safari and firefox and chrome

can a macbook process using safari and firefox (or chrome) at the same time? Does each compete for IP addresses?
Thanks for insight

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Your ISP assigns a new IP every time you access your browser not matter which browser it is. You can have as many different browsers open at the same time as you want. Safari/Chrome/Firefox ...
Does each compete for IP addresses?
No.

  • One file maximum for uploads with Safari, Opera, FireFox and Chrome to OneDive

    Some Windows 7 users have complained to they can only mark one file maximum for uploading with Safari, Opera, FireFox and Chrome to OneDive

    Hi,
    You mean that you access OneDrive via web browser?
    From my tests, everything is normal and it seems there is no setting in browser to configure this number.
    if I misunderstand this issue, please give us more information on it.

  • Safari (and Firefox and Flock) cannot find plug-ins for BBC sites

    Ive downloaded realplayer 10.1.0 and I have quicktime 7.1.3 but I cannot access any of the movie or audio clips from the BBC news website, and other sites are giving similar trouble, though for some reason youtube is fine. I cannot listen to BBC radio on line or classic fm which is driving me nuts. I've played with various settings for hours and cannot see what to try next.
    Advice welcomed.
    New Year Blessings

    Hi Eleanor
    Audio and video plays fine on Safari for me.
    First, go to the Safari Menu>Safari Preferences>Security>Cookies and remove any cookies for the BBC. Also, from the same menu "empty cache".
    Next, open RealPlayer. RealPlayer Menu>Preferences. Make sure the correct Media Types are selected - first select "show private real player types". Then, all boxes are checked except for the last 3).
    If you are choosing Windows Media Player as your BBC player of choice, which cannot run native on an Intel system, then you'll need to install the free plug-in Flip4Mac. This plug-in, managed from your System Preferences panel, converts this type of content to Quicktime.

  • Sync Safari like firefox or Chrome iCloud

    Greetings,
    anyone knows how can i sync Safari's Bookmarks, Settings etc just like Firefox, Chrome or other browsers?

    There are other browsers such as iCab Mobile, that come very close to using a desktop browser. iCab Mobile has tons of features, including the thumbnail views that went by the wayside in Safari and you can identify the browser as IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari and more.
    I use iCab Mobile identified as Firefox 4.0 for Mac and I love it.
    Its not exactly like using the desktop version of a browser, but it's as close as I have seen that you can get on the iPad. There are a couple of other feature richer browsers than Safari - Atomic and Mercury are two more that I know of. Check out all three of those browsers and see what you think.
    Here is iCab - take a look.

  • Mountain Lion freezes when opening Chrome, Firefox, and Safari

    Hi, I have a mid-2012 750GB MacBook Pro 15" (NOT the retina display) with Mountain Lion 10.8.4.
    As of a few weeks ago (mid July 2013), whenever I opened Chrome, the laptop would freeze a few minutes later. The arrow changed to the beach ball and could move, but I couldn't click anything and Force Quit would not open. I had to manually power down the laptop each time. I tried Safari and Firefox and got the same results.
    HOWEVER, I downloaded a basic web browser called Lightning which hasn't caused any freezes at all.
    But as it's a pretty crappy program, I'd like to have this problem fixed before I go back to college this fall.
    Any ideas? Any other details/info I should post? All help is appreciated Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Different texte layout between firefox and chrome ?!

    Hello,
    i'm just finished my web site and i can't seem to correct the gap layout on my text (example: biography section) between Safari and Firefox and chrome that appears as I have in Muse soft.
    Abakan.fr
    Ps: sometimes, backgrounds image doesn't show too, i don't know why :-/
    thanks a lot
    David

    I checked the site with multiple browsers but was not able to find out any layout difference problem , can you please post some screenshots and add some more details as which page content is not rendering correctly on which browser ?
    Thanks,

  • I have a basic applet method timing problem with Firefox (and Chrome), not IE nor Opera. Works if JavaScript issues windows.alert() prior, fails otherwise.

    I have an applet method, which is invoked from a JavaScript function, that is triggered by the window.onload event. The problem seems to center in the loading of the applet and its methods.
    If I step through the 3 applet acceptance prompts (I chose to use a down-level Java), the applet method is never invoked, nor is an exception raised. How this happens is beyond my understanding.
    As additional information, the Init(), start(), and "desired" Java methods all use the synchronized keyword. This is an attempt to minimize the exposure to a multi-thread environment.
    If I issue a message from JavaScript (via window.alert()) PRIOR to invoking the method, I can get the desired results in special circumstances:
    1) When the alert is presented, Firefox also prompts, SIMULTANEOUSLY, to block/continue the applet (the first of the 3 applet acceptance prompts). I can accept that these are separate threads.
    2a) If I walk through the 3 applet acceptance prompts FIRST, and then hit the OK button on the alert message SECOND, I get the desired results, my applet method executes, and all is well (other than the fact that I would prefer not to have the alert in place at all).
    2b) If I hit the OK button on the alert message FIRST, and then walk through the 3 applet acceptance prompts SECOND, I get the same results as when the page loads WITHOUT the alert, which is the applet method is never invoked, nor is an exception raised. Weird, huh?
    The above problem only occurs when the browser and the applet's URL are loaded for the first time.
    Subsequent invocations (after the page & applet has been loaded initially) do not have the failing symptoms.
    It is my understanding that IE and Firefox (and Chrome and Opera, for that matter) each use the same implementation of JavaScript provided by Microsoft. Please correct me if this information is inaccurate.
    The failing page and it's applet are proprietary; I cannot provide the Internet URL, nor the Java or JavaScript source, to aid in your analysis.

    I can speak to the source code, but have no access to it.
    The current process/thread that invokes an applet method must check to see that the applet is not currently being loaded by another process/thread. If it is being loaded, the current process/thread should block until the load is complete, THEN attempt to invoke the applet method.
    Please forward my concern to a knowledgable developer. The nature of the problem, once identified, can be addressed in a very straightforward manner.

  • Drag and Drop not working with IE11,Firefox or Chrome on Windows 7 x64 SP1

    Hello,
     I am trying to use drag and drop on my system but it is not working. other's within my department have no issues, but they are using IE10. I also have SharePoint Designer 2013 installed.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Derek

    Derek,IE11 is having some compatibility issues with the share point.Apart from IE11,it should work on IE10,9 and Firefox and chrome as well.
    Please check the links below that explains the issues with IE11 and the functionality of Drag and drop and limitations as-well.
    1.Since SharePoint 2013 fully support IE 32-bit version above 7, there might be compatibility issue with other browsers. I’d recommend you use IE 8,9,10 32-bit for optimal Performance.
    2. Open the same document library in Internet Explorer as this functions does not work with Firefox or Chrome by default
    3. Make sure the IE (Internet Explorer) Version should be 32-bit and not a 64-bit

  • Layers don't appear properly inside table in Internet Explorer, but are fine in Firefox and Safari

    How can I get layers that are inside tables that are
    inside another layer to appear properly in Internet Explorer. It
    works fine in Firefox and Safari on Mac and PC? The layers that are
    causing the problems contain a table with an image and a caption,
    so 2 cells. Then the layers are within a larger table that is
    within a layer. I don't use IE (cause it is the bain of my
    existence) but for a client they may want it to look good on all
    browsers, even if it is IE 6 on a PC, maybe the browser version is
    too old and I shouldn't worry about it? I know IE is not compliant
    with web standards so is this the problem or is there a way to fix
    the problem so it will look good in all the browers? The URL is
    http://uweb.txstate.edu/~ts20/scevents/spec-coll-events.html
    so if anyone could look at it IE and firefox and see how I could
    fix it, this would be very appreciated!
    Much needed help. Thanks for any input.

    >>I knwow IE is not compliant with web standards
    That is too broadly stated to be credible. Certainly IE6 has
    its problems
    but is highly compliant with most web standards. To be an
    effective
    designer/developer one must have a working knowledge of IE's
    deficiencies,
    not just write it off as non-compliant. After all, it is
    still used by some
    70% or web users (based on W3C Schools data.)
    Please post a link to your site.

  • Quicktime file works in Camino and Firefox, but not Safari

    Hi all,
    I just updated my iWeb site, which I use as a portfolio site. I have quicktime files loaded that are commercials I've worked on. Today I added one via iWeb, loaded it, then went to watch it and it doesn't work. The page opens, the QT window is there, but it's like the file doesn't load. The play line at the bottom remains light gray, and it doesn't fill up showing that the file is loading. HOWEVER, i've gone to both Camino and Firefox and it plays in both of those browsers.
    I was previously on 3.1.2 and noticed there was an update available. Updated, then tried again and the same problem persists. I'm confused.
    I'm guessing this has to be a Safari thing since i've been successful getting it to play in 2 other browsers. Has anyone come across this and know of anyway I can get this work? Having this available for viewing is pretty important, as I use that site as a portfolio site and a means of getting jobs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Okay, so both are back in the folder and I'm back to where I started; the QT window loads, but the status bar does not seem to be loading, that is, I can hit the play button but it won't play b/c it's like the file is not loading.
    I did go to Help>Safari>Installed Plug-ins. Both are shown; there's a section for QuickTime Plugin.plugin and for QuickTime Plugin.webplugin. Both have a much larger header above them that says "QuickTime Plug-In 7.5.5." Not sure if that's pertinent or not. Just thought I'd post that info.
    Okay, so here is the page to my spot that doesn't work in Safari, but does in Camino and Firefox:
    http://www.smithcory.com/portfolio/NFLSuper_AdPromo.html
    It's a small file, 4.6MB's so I can't imagine file size being a problem. There is a slight difference bt firefox and Camino when playing it; in Firefox, it takes about 8 seconds before it will start playing, like Firefox is loading it or something. In Camino, it plays right away. Not sure if that helps or is pertinent again, but just trying to provide as much info as I can. Thanks for the help.

  • Both Safari and Firefox will not load webpage

    This is an issue in both Safari and Firefox (I use Firefox as my default, but since it's happening in Safari too, I figured I could post the problem here). I frequently visit Crate & Barrel's website and cb2.com, and as of recent I have not been able to load the site. I've tried on both my eMac (Safari and Firefox) and on my new iMac. I was able to load the page on a windows computer in my house. I'm not sure if I ever viewed their website on my iMac since it's new as of last month. On the eMac I visited the site often. Why all of the sudden would I not be able to load the website? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    You have to love when Customer Service reps don't actually read your message:

    does not work either. I used to visit the site often on my eMac and
    never had any issues loading the page. Any ideas as to what the problem
    may be? And why all of the sudden? Any help is appreciated."

  • Choppy/Slow streamed videos on both Firefox and Chrome

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro that was recently turned off for two weeks while I was on vacation. When I turned it back on and tried to watch videos online (youtube, Netflix, streamed videos) the videos are choppy and slow to load. This was never a problem before turning of the computer for the two weeks. I have tried both Google Chrome and Firefox and the problem happens on both. When viewing the Activity Monitor while attempting to watch the videos the CPU usage is fine for the first 20 seconds or so and then Chrome or Firefox take on 80-90-over 100% of the CPU usage, a majority of the usage is from the system (in red) and the videos become untwatchable. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both browsers and have disbaled all the extensions. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Silverlight for Netflix and have uninstalled all unused versions of Adobe Flash player. There are no problems with video when I watch a DVD. Help! I want to watch videos again

    having same problem since mac os x 10.6 upgrade, but was never issue prior... have tried everything i can think of, new flash players, reinstalling players, reboots of computer and router... to no avail. since this was never an issue for me prior to upgrading to Mac OS X (10.6.8), i believe its the os software.

  • Safari (and Firefox) freezing on all pages with embedded video

    Hi, is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any pages with video, with the exception of YouTube, have been freezing on both Safari and Firefox (Hulu, etc.). They don't load and I have to force quit the applications (and, of course, not watch video). Is anyone else having this problem? I've repaired permissions, emptied the cache, delete the plist file, and it's still happening.
    Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions? All help appreciated. M

    I was having a problem with Safari and Firefox and Camino quitting when I tried to view an online video, such as full length episodes on the TV network websites. I upgraded Adobe Flash to the latest version (version 9.0.124.0) and then repaired permissions and this took care of the problem. (Before I posted this I double checked the fix by going to the CBS and NBC web sites and watching 5 minutes of CSI:NY and Chuck and both played fine with nary a hiccup.)

  • I have a mac book pro running OS 10.5.8 and firefox has always been fine but for the last two days it is slow to open and run and wont shut down, I have to force quit. Is there a current problem?

    I have to force quit because my mac says "Firefox not responding" this happens on both my work network and home (cable) network.

    My best guess would be that the version of Safari you're using is outdated and unsupported by Outlook.com/Hotmail.com. Since you're still running Leopard (OS X 10.5), the best solution is to try Chrome 22 or Firefox 16 (the latest versions supported by Leopard).
    Otherwise, I would upgrade to at least Snow Leopard (10.6) then you can run the newest versions of both Firefox and Chrome. You can get the upgrade for free from Apple if you call their customer support.
    I have the same model of Macbook and am running the newest version of OS X, Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8), without a problem. Then you would be able to run the latest version of Safari as well (version 6).
    EDIT: Here are links to older versions of Chrome and Firefox.
    Chrome 22: http://mac.oldapps.com/google_chrome.php?system=mac_os_x_10.5_leopard_intel
    Firefox 16: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/16.0.2/mac/en-US/
