I have a free visitor counter (by easycounter.com) on my website. It has been working fine in both Firefox (3.6.16) and MS Internet Explorer.
Yesterday, I noticed it no longer works with Firefox but still fine with MS IE.
Earlier in the week I did download a few add-ons recommended by Firefox.
Can anyone advise what the problem might be and how to fix it? The code for the counter is still intact on my page at www.qsl.net/ve3bdb.
Thanks in advance.
Incidentally, the page now takes forever to load when using MS IE, but I don't know if that's related.No problems here with that visited counter on your website.
Which extensions did you install?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Adobe has given up on mobile flash for any device. They announced this a while ago.
They admitted mobile flash is a disaster and are jumping on the HTML 5 bandwagon.

Forward and back buttons don't work in Firefox but do everywhere else.
Make sure that you set those buttons to the default action in your mouse driver software (Control Panel > Mouse or specific Intellimouse driver software).

Why doesn't the "block cookies and other website data" setting on Safari 7.0.2 work? Everytime I try this setting, I still get cookies and other data that needs to be deleted from my computer.
This has been the case for sometime.
There is no effective way to block these cookies.
Try this, may help.
Safari > Preferences > Security > Cookies and other website data:
Press "Remove All Other Website Data:'
Do this twice.
Select "Reset Safari" from Safari drop down menu.

I am for about one week not able to input information on Facebook. Also the Facebook page appears in a huge font. Regarding Slacker I do not see any available online radio stations. Until about a week ago everything worked fine. At present I can work with Internet Explorer, but at present can no longer work with Firefox.

IChat - audio, video and screen sharing no longer work
I use ichat video and screen share to visit with family and assist with computer work. Every since .mac changed to .me, I am no longer able to do anything but text message...... I have changed ports, changed from .mac to .me logins. But still not luck. Nothing has changed with routers. Working with cable modems and DSL..... Looking for help.
Hi Bob,
The Screen Sharing through iChat and the Audio only and Video chats do not require the AIM servers other than to say your Buddy is On-line.
There is feedback from the AIM servers to say what capabilities your Buddies have.
You can see these if you look at their Info card (Click on a Buddy and use Apple key and i together)
Now if the Buddy does not show the capability then it may well be the AIM server.
But..... IF you have turned off (or it has become turned Off) either of the Camera Enabled or Microphone Enabled items in the Video menu (from menu bar) then you will not have the capability and will therefore not see other people.
One clue will be in the Buddies Menu about whether you can do One Way Video or Audio chats. If it says you can it is the AIM end.

I tried updating Firefox to 19 and then even the Beta 20 version. I have rebooted computer countless times. On the same computer, I can open IE and bring up ESPN and the drop down menus work fine so I know its not a computer issue and it must have something to do Firefox. I tried the "starting in safe mode" and disabling add ons because I saw those suggestions but that didnt work. I also tried unchecking the box about hardware acceleration because I saw that suggested also and needless to say that didnt work either. Can someone please please help me, its very frustrating.
The menu on the ESPN site is generated via JavaScript, so make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript if the menus aren't working.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

When I try to send gifts or requests for help in either of these games, my friend list will not load. When I use Internet Explorer, they work fine. I did not have this problem when I used the previous version of Firefox. And my older version of Firefox was much faster than Explorer, so I prefer to use Firefox, but it won't work correctly with my games.
The best bet would be to contact the add-on developers and let them know you'd like to use their extensions on the new version.
You can use [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to do this. -
I don't think it's every webpage, but most of them, and all pages open instantly in Internet Explorer but Firefox takes minutes to open a page and just sits there with a white screen while it's loading.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone. -
printer advances page and spits it out with either nothing or a single garbled line printed on it instead of a whole web page. This is independent of which web site and even happens with web sites that have a specific PRINT or PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION button. Printing is fine from Internet Explorer. Unsure about Chrome. Printing from Firefox worked fine until I downloaded newest version. Operating system is Windows Vista on a 64 bit desktop computer.
Try the '''reset''' described here: <br />

I have tried downloading files which are supposed to be pdf but they download as aspx files. This doesn't happen if I use Internet Explorer and other pdfs from the same web site download without a problem.
To make a long story short, the server can send a preferred file name but isn't always programmed to do so. IE sniffs the beginning of the file and may override what is sent by the server; Firefox does not.
You can manually change the file extension when you save it (if you have Firefox set to ask you where to save) or you can rename it after it is saved. -
I am using Windows XP 2002 operating system; Earthlink mailbox program for email with AT&T Broadband.
I want to have Firefox as my default browser, but my email links open with Internet Explorer. I have followed the Firefox help page to set Firefox as my browser, but the problem remains.
Do you know how to fix this? Is it a problem with Earthlink?I have Microsoft Outlook also with Firefox and can open just about every link, url, company page, etc via the email links. First, make sure you have noted the email as NOT JUNK so that the links are activated by Outlook. Second, Firefox needs to your default browser for the links to open in Firefox rather than IE. There are some links from Microsoft that may ignore the default and open in IE but not all anymore. I have a Sony laptop which ignores the default browser and opens all of its support information from its VAIO software loaded on the computer in IE. Besides that though, over 95% of my items will open in my default brwser selection, which is currently Firefox.
Go to this link to make sure Firefox is your default browser.
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+make+Firefox+the+default+browser?s=Make+Firefox+the+default+browser+&as=s
Or this link to make any browswer of your choice the default.

I can no longer open my Hotmail inbox with Firefox but I can with Internet Explorer
I have been using Firefox for some time and like. As of yesterday, I am able to open Windows live but can't get my hotmail inbox from that page. I have no problem getting to my hotmail inbox using Internet Explorer. What's wrong?
By the way, although Magellan Communicator is a stand-alone program, the way that web pages connect to it is through a plugin. When you check the plugins list, you should see it there. Screen shot attached for reference.
