Some websites loading on my laptop as mobile device sites...tried reinstalling FF but it didn't help...what's going on?

-Firefox version 33.0.2
-Windows 7 Home premium operating system
-Some (not all) websites recently started to load on my laptop as mobile device URLs. It doesn't matter if I follow a bookmark or I type in the URL. But ONLY on this one laptop (HP Pavillion I bought new in 2013) I tried the same sites on my ASUS netbook and they loaded normal). One example is the Washington Post news website. It doesn't make a difference if I allow or block cookies.
-Unistalled & reinstalled Firefox (made sure the profile folder was deleted and replaced). It didn't help.
-Antivirus didn't pick anything up.
-Is this a browser problem or something else? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!

After trying that for a while, if you decide you really need 150% at the Windows level, then you can adjust a Firefox setting to use 125% in Firefox. However, the explanation is a bit long, so I'll save it in case you need it.

Firefox has been hanging on nearly every web page I go to, also it will not load any flash video, I have tried reinstalling plugins but this has not helped .

I have tried reinstalling plug ins, it would seem all of them are up to date, fire fox also hangs when I view pictures on facebook while still becoming unresponsive when opening almost any new page.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Youtube identified my Safari 6.0 as IE6, and some websites even identified my OS as Window XP while I am using mountain lion. I wonder what is going on?

When I go to Youtube, it said "You are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 web browser. YouTube is ending support for Internet Explorer 7 soon, update your browser now", but I am using Safari 6.0 on OSX Mountain Lion. I wonder if there is any settings cause this identification error. thanks!

I can't connect to the itunes store and have some problems with other websites. Some websites load OK. I had the same problem on my iPad and changed the DNS, but don't want to do this on my iMac, anyway, surely I should have my router's DNS?

I can't connect to the iTunes store from my iMac and have problems loading a number of other websites, however some websites load perfectly well. I have had the iTunes store issue on my iPad and resolved it by changing the DNS but surely I should use the DNS for my router. I don't really want to change it for the iMac as I access secure sites with it to internet shop.
Any ideas, I was going to try loading Chrome but can't get it without going through the iTunes store. Anyway, that is treating the symprom not the cause.

Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

WebtoGo for laptop and mobile device - urgent

Hi,
I need to develop a web to Go application for both laptop and mobile device. The code which i generate for laptop should work on mobile device too.
ie the single application should work for both mobile and laptop devices.
Now coming to lightweight framework and small footprints what technologies should i use in J2EE.
If i use struts is that going to be mess in mobile device. Some one guide me here about choosing the technologies.
Thanks

our java app that we have just ported from PDA to laptop uses AWT components as these work on the PDA. need to go for what will work on the windows mobile device, abnd this may restrict you to older and less functional components.
NOTE platform is defined within the application on the server side (the name of the database on the client), and therefore you will need two applications in terms of oracle lite publications, so define the database name external to the code in some kind of a properties/config file

5.7.1 Command rejected - EPrint / Works from laptops not mobile devices

I have a new HP6500A Plus Printer and have trouble using EPrint with 3 mobile devices (Blackberry, Samsung & iTouch). I get an error stating "5.3.0 Other mail system problem - '5.7.1 Command rejected'. The process works fine when I send an email to print from my 2 laptops. The ePrint Center records the emails that come in from my laptops but do not list the emails sent via my 3 mobile devices. I followed all the typical/basic things - printer on, network on, correct address, no restrictions on who can sent printer emails, etc. Any suggestions on how to get the mobile devices to work?

One of these links should help:

Intune (standalone) - 8.1 laptop as mobile device - password compliance issue

Have Intune trial setup, couple of users created, cleanly reimaged (clean install from media, not a company image) 8.1 x64 laptop with all current Windows Updates. Joins workplace and enables management ok, installed Company Portal from store, then tells
me the device is not in compliance, the password is too short. I only have one local account enabled, it has an 8 character, 4 character set complex password. My Intune account password is a 10 character, 3 character set complex password. My compliance
policy is set to a minimum of 4 characters, 1 character set. Why the heck is it giving me this error, and what password is it referring to?
I had this on initial setup with the laptop, which had previously been on the internal domain, so wiped it and reinstalled the OS fresh, to rule out any lingering domain settings. Retired/deleted the device from Intune, waited an hour, added the newly
installed device. Joined the workplace (PC Settings - Network - Workplace), turned on device management. Installed Company Portal, said all was ok. Rebooted, was asked to reset local password, did so. Opened Company portal, gives
compliance/password error.
My goal is basic management of BYOD 8.1 tablets/laptops as mobile devices, and deployment of Activesync email settings to them (for use with the builtin Mail app). Any and all help appreciated.
Nigel Benfell B.Sc. MCSA

Hi,
It would be the local password on the WIndows 8.1 computer that it is not seeing as compliant. after you changed it does it make any difference after you initiate a Complaince Check from the COmpany Portal?

How do I fix "apple mobile device" failure when reinstalling itunes on my PC?

How do I fix "apple mobile device" failure when reinstalling itunes on my PC?

Hey chadnh11,
It sounds to me like you uninstalled then attempted to reinstall iTunes to troubleshoot the issue you were encountering? First, I would try the steps in here:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
If you end up getting to the point where you remove and reinstall iTunes, make sure you follow all of the steps in this link:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour

I am receiving a "couldn't load XPCOM" error. I know that I can reinstall Firefox but how do I save my bookmarks?

I am receiving a "couldn't load XPCOM" error. I know that I can reinstall Firefox but when I went to do that it erased all of my bookmarks so I did a system restore. How do I save my bookmarks?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
