[SOLVED] firefox problems with Twitter and google+

I've been having some issues with firefox. I don't know if they are related, but they've been getting on my nerves.
First off, Twitter just shows a blank page with the background picture. I can't view any twitter posts at all.
Secondly, pages which check for browser compatibility all seem to report that my browser isn't supported (it is). For example, Google+ gives me a "Your Browser is no longer supported." page while the list of supported browsers states: "Linux : Chrome, Firefox 3.6 and up".
I'm using the latest version of firefox from extra (7.0.1-1). Also, these problems are not new to this version, as they have been occurring for as long as I've had this computer (~10 months). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Disabling the plugins did nothing, but creating a new profile seems to have fixed it.
I still don't know what caused the problems, but I've migrated all my stuff over to the new profile and everything is working well. I'm marking this thread as solved, thanks for the help!

  • Problem with redirection and google analytics

    Hello,
    I created my professional website with iweb and bought a domain name for it can be simplest to remember, so this professional domain name (www.julienchabot.com) redirect to the iweb url (web.mac.com/julienchabot/iweb/com/home.html). Now I subscribed to Google Analytics to know the statistics of my website, but it seems that when people visit www.julienchabot.com, google analytics doesn't register any visit on my website, it only registers something when the iweb url (web.mac.com/julienchabot...) is visited, so only when I visit my website as a webmaster because I'm the only one to know this url.
    So it's very frustrating for I can't know the statistics even if Google analytics seems to provide fantastics results !!!
    However, when we're on julienchabot.com and that we read the source code, the correct code and iweb url appear on the top of the window... Does the problem come from the redirection company I subscribed to ?
    Has someone a solution to this problem ?
    Thank you very much for your help !!
    Julien

    Dear Gretsch,
    Thank you for this website, I just registered but unfortunately the problem is still the same ! I think it's due to the redirect company I subscribed to, they use "frames" for the redirection.
    Do you use frames as well for your website ? StatCounter asks if it's the case before providing the code and I replied "yes", they specify to put the code in the main page where there's not the "frame" code, but I don't know where this "frame" code is written, so I put the StatCounter code on the homepage one, but it's the same than with Google.
    Would you mind provide me the url of your website for I can compare your code to mine ?
    Thank you very much for your help !

  • Problems with iOS4 and Google Mail (ActiveSync/Exchange)

    So, I’m one of those people whose greatest virtue isn’t patience.
    Minutes after its release I HAD to install iOS4 onto my iPhone 3GS. Since there’s no upgrade procedure implemented (yet?), upgrading took just short of a lifetime: the iPhone was completely wiped, then iTunes installed iOS4, then the backup was restored to the iPhone. All in all, an probably thanks to the enormously big Navigon app, this took almost 90 minutes.
    Everything looked fine… but after a couple of hours of normal usage I ran into a “little” problem…
    I unplugged the iPhone at around 10 am with a fully charged battery. After just four hours (during which I received 10 mails, 5 push messages and made one call of approx. 3 minutes) the battery was down to 63%. Normally it should still be in then 90s…
    It seemed as if, somehow, Mail.app crashed and went wild – draining battery like crazy and heating up the device.
    Back home, I deleted my Mail accounts, rebooted the iPhone, added my Mail accounts again (manually) and recharged the iPhone to the fullest.
    During the next 5 hours (in a region with full 3G coverage) I received another 15 mails, 10 push notifications and 1 text message, which I also replied to.
    The battery was down to 53%.
    This morning, I downloaded the “iPhone Configuration Utility” to gain access to the iPhones “console output”. You can find the, in my eyes, relevant parts below this post.
    There are some timeouts for com.apple.mobilemail.autofetch and a few reports of an EASIconnection dying with “Error Domain:NSURLErrorDomain Code=1001″ which obviously means “This operation couldn’t be completed”.
    Furthermore, from time to time, the EASIASFolderItemsSyncTask fails.
    As of now, I assume that this is some kind of problem between Mail.app on my iPhone and the Googlemail server, which I’m accessing via ActiveSync/Exchange, since I’d like to get my mails pushed to me.
    I then deleted the Googlemail Exchange-Account and replaced it with the "normal" IMAP-Account. That works fine.
    Right now I'm testing with other Exchange servers to see if this problem is on the iPhone/iOS part or on Google's side.
    Anyone else noticing this?!

  • Firefox problems with slow and unreliable dialup internet connection

    I have a slow an unreliable dialup internet connection. This is all that is available in my area -- no form of 'broadband' internet is available, not even satelight (I have too many trees in the way).
    What happens is that due to the poor quality of the analog telephone system (very old and poorly maintained copper cables), my modem drops the internet connection from time to time -- it *usually* dials back, but sometimes I have to manually restart the connection. Because the the connection is so slow, it takes a long time to completely load pages and if the connection is lost in the middle of loading a page, Firefox seems to become 'confused' and even if I stop loading the page and then try to reload it, it does not do so. I have an external modem, so I can watch the blinking lights, so I know when data is being transfered (I also have a connection monitor feature as part of my dialup connection software which shows a bar chart of data transfers over the dialip connection).
    I *seems* like what is happening is that Firefox has open network connections that become 'void' when the connection is lost and then reconnected and Firefox attempts to re-cycle these connections. Or else it has 'worker threads' that have become confused or wedged.
    Are there settings that I can set (eg with 'about:config') to deal with these issues?

    Maybe it helps if you toggle the File > Work Offline setting on/off.
    You can also try to reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
    *Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

  • [SOLVED] mkinitcpio (problem with ide and encrypt hooks)

    I've installed kernel26-beyond 2.6.19beyond2 and after that mkinitcpio couldn't generate img file. I tried with 2 configs:
    # vim:set ft=sh
    # MODULES
    # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
    # run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
    # in this array. For instance:
    # MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
    MODULES="reiser4 ext2 reiserfs"
    # BINARIES
    # This setting includes, into the CPIO image, and additional
    # binaries a given user may wish. This is run first, so may
    # be used to override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
    # (Existing files are NOT overwritten is already added)
    # BINARIES are dependancy parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
    BINARIES=""
    # FILES
    # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
    # as-is and are not parsed in anyway. This is useful for config files.
    # Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options,
    # like so:
    # FILES="/etc/modprobe.conf"

    # HOOKS

    # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the

    With the first config mkinitcpio froze when was generating ide hook and with the second froze when generating encrypt hook.
    Any idea what might have gone wrong? What should I do?

    I don't have any experience with the beyond-kernel, but on two of my machines which already use encrypted root with LUKS I have added the following modules into /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
    (I use AES for swap & Serpent for the rest, sha256 as essiv-hash)
    MODULES="dm-crypt aes-i586 serpent sha256"
    Did you switch the Kernel on an already installed/running System or did you make a fresh installation with the beyond-kernel? In case your System is already installed, you could try the mkinitcpio procedure with a life-cd (may be worth a try).
    There's also an excellent article in the wiki:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio
    In the troubleshooting-section of the article there's also a solution to a problem concerning the beyond-kernel and ide/sata/scsi, which could be just what you are looking for. 
    Hope it'll be helpfull!

  • SOLVE strange problem with suspend and resume with gnome-power-manager

    I have pm-utils and gnome installed.
    Suspending and hibernation works well from the command line ($ pm-hibernate and $ pm-suspend).  Resuming works without any problems.
    Suspending from gnome "Shutdown dialog" works perfectly as well.
    However, if suspending is initiated by gnome-power-manager something strange happens:  After pressing the power button resuming switches to hibernation and my laptop turns off.  Resuming from disk works fine again.
    Now, suspending works fine again if I change and save any config file in /etc/pm/.
    Here comes the strange thing:  It doesn't really matter what I change as long as I save it.
    However, as soon as I reboot resuming fails again the way I described above.
    Anyone have a clue what's going on?
    I get no error messages and I've tried all sorts of boot entries.

    After some try and error my guess is that "HAL" is responsible for this problem:
    I deinstalled ACPID and 'pm-utils' and switched to 'uswsusp'.
    I made the appropriate changes to the appropriate hal-scrips
    usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend:
    #!/bin/sh
    /sbin/s2ram --force
    usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate:
    #!/bin/sh
    /sbin/s2disk
    After these changes I still have the same problem:  immidiatly after resuming form suspend (via power-button) my laptop hibernates (s2disk).
    However, if I delete all entries in "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" resuming from suspend works fine again, but hibernate doesn't of course.  So, some script must be calling "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" emmediatly after resuming from suspend.
    A couple of weeks ago everything worked fine.  My guess is that one of the recent hal-updates is causing this.
    How can I figure what script is calling "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" after resuming from suspend?

  • [SOLVED] wget problem with ftp ( and symlink )

    Hi,
    I tried to download some file recursively from ftp, but It seems that wget can't figure a file under symlinks folder by itself.

    wget man page wrote:When --retr-symlinks is specified, however, symbolic links are

           this option does not cause Wget to traverse symlinks to directories
           and recurse through them, but in the future it should be enhanced
           to do this.
    I think I've found a good workaround:
    #!/bin/bash
    URL=$1
    DIRPATH=$(echo "$URL" | sed s-ftp://--)
    BASEURL=$(echo "$DIRPATH" | cut -d '/' -f1)
    wget -r -N $URL
    SYMLINKS=$(find $DIRPATH -type l)
    for SYMLINK in $SYMLINKS
    do
    TARGET=$(readlink $SYMLINK)
    if [ "${TARGET:0:1}" == "/" ]
    then
    URI="ftp://$BASEURL/$(readlink $SYMLINK)"
    else
    URI="ftp://$DIRPATH/$(readlink $SYMLINK)"
    fi
    echo "retrieving $URI"
    wget -r -N $URI
    # ./wget_symlinks $URI
    done
    You can save that as "wget_symlinks", then
    chmod 744 wget_symlinks
    ./wget_symlinks ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp/database/organism_schema
    I didn't download everything so I don't know if there are further symlinks. If there are, comment out the line "wget -r -N $URI" and uncomment "# ./wget_symlinks $URI". It should download everything recursively and then exit.
    I never though of using bash script  (never wrote bash more than 5 line). I guess I'll try that, thanks alot.

  • I'm having problems with Twitter loading up a completely blank page and no longer displaying content and with Bloomberg not playing videos

    I'm having problems with Twitter not loading up content and showing me a blank page. I've tried to empty the browser cache but it doesn't seem to work.
    I also have issues with Bloomberg not playing videos

    Try clearing cookies and cache:

    Otherwise use firefox in [[Safe Mode]];

  • Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

    Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
    On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
    On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
    On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
    What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
    defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
    and
    defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
    but that did not help,
    Nanne

    I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
    PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
    It may work when re-enabled

  • [SOLVED]problem with Bumblebee and Kernel 3.11-1-2

  • [SOLVED] Problem with modules and udev

    Hi everybody,
    I've been configuring Arch on my new laptop the last few days and today as I was going to perform the first backup, I noticed that my external HDD does not show up in /dev/ when I plug it in. I figured it could be a problem with udev and the fact that in my /etc/rc.conf I use MOD_AUTOLOAD="no" with an explicit list of MODULES generated with hwdetect (as suggested in the wiki).
    To "solve" this I just changed MOD_AUTOLOAD to "yes" and after a reboot everything worked fine.
    My questions are:
    1) Is it possible to keep that feature (udev detects usb drives and creates the corresponding /dev/sdX) while having MOD_AUTOLOAD="no" ? What is/are the appropriate module(s) I have to put in my MODULES array ?
    2) What other such "basic" MODULES could be very useful that hwdetect does not tell about.
    Sorry for any English mistakes (I'm not a native speaker) and thank you in advance for your help,
    yms

    1) Thank you, it works perfectly.
    2) Yes I know the question is weird. The thing is I have no precise idea at the moment and I just wanted to know if there are other very widely used features such as the one described in 1) that hwdetect ommits and that has to be loaded in MODULES.
    Anyway, thank you very much, I consider this matter [solved]

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

    Hi, I bought Apple tv traying to rent a movie but there problem with itunes, and there is on apple tv don't have my country. could you help me please how can I solve this problem?

    I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up.  Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later.  I have not seen a solution posted.  Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem?  I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • Easier and better ways to solve current problems with Acrobat?

    Is there no better and easier way to solve the problems (installation, re-installing and crashing) with Acrobat? I really think that the ball is in Acrobat's corner right now, because I should not (for example) need to deactivate and re-activate my subscription in order to get AcrobatPro XI to work on my computer, let alone deinstalling an older version that (for now) does work, risking that in the end neither of them work. I need the (great) AdobeCloud applications to do my work as a freelancer, and I really cannot afford this kind of trouble with my applications, nore loose time repairing them. These are difficult times as it is.
    Regards,
    Marc

    Sorry, I can't. When I installed it there was no message that said I had to deinstall the old version first, and with other Adobe CC applications there had been no trouble at all, so I installed it with The previous version still on my computer.
    After installing, neither of them would start up properly, so I deinstalled version XI, after which the old version worked again, but my Adobe Application Manager does not let me download the XI version a second time, so I cannot try again.
    Regards,
    Marc

    The description of the issue you originally presented isn't something that I've seen happen to Acrobat when installed as a part of Creative Cloud.
    Could you provide a specific description of the behavior that occurs when you launch Acrobat XI now?
    Thanks,
    David
