Why Doesn't Project TV woek with IE but not Firefox? I tried the "Proxy" suggestion with no results.

Project TV works fine with IE. It used to work with Firefox but no longer. I tried the "Proxy" suggestion and clearing History with no results?

First and foremost, thank you for your help and concern. It is appreciated.
Project TV works just fine with IE but will not work at all with Firefox although it did work a few days ago. I have tried::
Clearing History, as suggested,
Changing the "Proxy: settings, as suggested
This has been all to no avail.

Madison Square Garden web site opens but when I click on view all concerts tab at the MSG site it does not open. It works with AOL but not Firefox

I go to '''www.thegarden.com''' I click on the tab '''View Full Calendar'''. It does not open. It works on AOL but not Firefox. And for some reason it also does not work when I use Internet Explorer. The majority of times when I click on that tab (in Firefox) it does not work. On a rare occasion it will open. I am not doing anything differently either time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't enter gmail. The error 'The page isn't redirecting properly' shows up. I can access gmail on my phone and with IE, but not firefox.

I've tried to clear the cache and delete the cookies from gmail, but neither has worked. I can access gmail from my phone and through IE but not firefox. I also use the gmail gadget on my igoogle page and it does not work either.

Top of your browser click on Firefox, select Options
Select "Use Custom Setting for History"
Then click show cookies, then remove All Cookies
Close browser and restart, should work nicely
Simple fix (cause of the problem, since you select copy Cookies and History, Favs from Explorer they are clearly not compatible, so that is why you get the error)
Firefox guys need to fix this is serious challenge for new users.

Slide show works with Safari but not Firefox!

I'm baffled: I was swapping out some new .jpgs for my site's looping photo slide show on the top of every page, everything was working fine 2 days ago and then... nada. I didn't change anything to cause it AND it displays fine with Safari. I'm pretty sure I have all my plug-ins up to date etc., so WTF?!?!?! Thank you.

Perhaps "slideshow" isn't the best description (I am NOT a programmer). There are six images inside the wood-looking frame on the top of EVERY page, which used to cycle through on a loop. I can still see them with Safari, but although I didn't change anything when swapping out the jpgs a couple of days ago (and they worked fine until yesterday)... they're no longer viewable on Firefox. Again... WTF?!?!?

Firefox has suddenly stopped connecting on one of three user accounts on the same computer. That account still connects with Safari - but not Firefox. A clean-install has not solved the problem. Help?

Three user accounts on the same computer all link to a single copy of Firefox 3.6.8 - but one of them has suddenly lost its ability to use the program. Firefox opens in that account, but it cannot connect to the Internet. 'Done' appears at the lower left of a blank Firefox page [it's set to load a blank page initially], as though a page had finished downloading ... but Firefox does not actually generate any Internet activityx.
Previously, the Firefox connection for this account was smooth and reliable. I haven't added, upgraded or downloaded any new programs, nor made any other computer changes in recent weeks or months.
Puzzlingly - that same account still connects successfully to the Internet via Safari. And the other accounts on the same computer continue to use Firefox with no problem - including a test user-account that I set up today to help troubleshoot the problem. The blockage is restricted solely to Firefox with that one user account.
Following your Support page instructions, I did a clean-install of Firefox 3.6.8, removing both the existing Firefox 3.6.8 and the Library/Application Support/Firefox folder. Going the extra mile, I checked all accounts to be certain that no Firefox folders remained in any of them - then emptied the Trash and restarted before installing a freshly downloaded 3.6.8. But blimey - the blockage still persists for that one user account.
Firefox shows no visible cookies that might influence the connection. [It's set to delete all cookies upon closing anyway.] And I see no obvious instructions in Mac's firewall or any software program to refuse access to Firefox. The computer is stand-alone, not networked. And in any case, Firefox works just fine in the two other user accounts.
Deleting the hobbled user account is not feasible. So what is causing this roadblock? Did I miss a step in the clean-install? How can that account resume using Firefox?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

Not works means you get a blank screen as the webpage; works is when you have to allow Flash Player to run "outside of protected" mode several times to get the website to come up.
Try www.wzeconsulting.com on the three browsers to see what I mean. wzeconsulting.com is not some spam site, it is the site for a business in China that I work with.

Sound with SPEAKERS but not with HEADPHONES ??

Hi all.
I have a Pentium4 .7 computer
Running Windows XP with update2
500Mb memory
Audigy 6. sound card
Creative INSPIRE 6. 6700 speakers (6 speakers + subwoofer and remote control (wired) for turning the speakers on/off and sound volume + headphone socket))
This is my problem, When I play anything on the computer, the sound works great on the speakers.
When I plug in the headphones, the sound goes off (as it should) but nothing is heard through the headphones.
I unplug the headphones and the sound is back through the speakers .
Why will the sound not come through my headphones ? (I have tried the headphones on other things and they are working fine on them)
I wrote to Creative labs and they sent me out a NEW remote control cable.
I plugged this in and it is still the same ?
I then found out a friend had the same set up and went to his house.
I tried the headphones in his remote control and they worked fine (the speakers went off and the headphones were playing the sounds).
I then replaced his subwoofer with my subwoofer and everything worked fine (even the headphones worked).
I borrowed his subwoofer and tried it on my computer and again, the speakers worked OK but when I plugged the headphones in, no sound from them again ?
What is going on ?
I can only guess that it is something to do with my computer or the settings ? but I cannot really understand why the headphones won't work when plugged in, but when unplugged the speakers do work?
(I thought that when you plug headphones into the headphone socket, it just broke the connection to the speakers and di'verted the sound through to the headphones so I am baffled) ???
Helppppppppppppppp ! I am going crazy going around in circles.
Regards.

Dear Jason.
First of all, could I apologise for my tantrum, I'll explain in a minute.
I looked at the announcement and I managed to sort out problem I was having which was, when I tried to run the DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, the writing went of the little window and there were no buttons to press and so I could not go any further.
After reading the announcement, I change the DPI to 96 (it was 20) and now I can see all the text and the buttons.
So thank you for that.
So the reason for my tantrum,
st - I was getting jealous that other people were getting there questions answered (LOL)
2nd - I have had my sound card and speakers for over a year now and after reading the reviews, I paid that little bit extra to get the best.
My computer set up was in the loft and it worked fine for ages.
I have now moved house and the computer has to go in the kids? bedroom (new house is not as big as the other house) and this is where I now need the headphones to use the computer in the evening.
Because I cannot get the headphones to work, I cannot use the computer now after 8:30pm and so I am finding it frustrating.
As I said, my friend?s works great and this is also pushing me over the edge (well not that bad LOL, but you know what I mean).
So I just want to get my headphones up and running and I seem to be getting no help at all.
So again, I am very sorry for the outburst, and I want to thank you for answering my question.
I will try what the announcement says by reinstalling the soundcard ETC and hopefully, I will be getting back to you to offer you a virtual pint (or 3).
Thank you Jason.
Colin.

I teach online and firefox is recommended, Recently, the email functions quit working. They work with Explorer but not firefox. I want to use firefox.

When using Firefox, I can work in LoudCloud, which is Grand Canyon University's program; however, any locations from which I send students emails, comments, answers to questions, etc., is no longer working. It works when I switch to Internet Explorer, but I want to use Firefox. It is more user-friendly. Should I re-download Firefox?

Could you check which mail program or site is set to handle "mailto" links and try resetting it:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause while Firefox filters the list. You should get one row with a drop-down on the right that lets you choose your mail program or site. If your program is not selected, go ahead and change it now. If it is already selected, try refreshing the setting by changing to another program or site and OK out of the dialog. Then go back and change it back.
Does that make any difference? If I have misunderstood the email feature you're trying to use, could you describe it in more detail?

Epson E-Web Print toolbar works with IE but not Firefox 28 on Windows 8 PC

Seems like the Epson E-Web Print toolbar stopped working after the update for Firefox 27. Switched to Internet Explorer and the toolbar works fine.

This from Epson's support site isn't very promising:
<blockquote>Q: EPSON E-Web Print does not work since I upgraded to Windows 8.1. Why does this happen? 
A: '''EPSON E-Web Print is no longer supported by Epson.'''

What did it do? Maybe there's a good substitute.

I can't open .xml files from a CD using firefox. They open OK with IP, but not Firefox.

the .xml files are on a cd, when using MS Internet Explorer they open OK, with Firefox set as defasult browser I get a message saying unable to open <filename>

I've compaired two machines that have had this issue. One I fixed by simply reinstalling v9.3.3 off the Adobe Site. Once fixed I compaired the Registry Settings to the one that was still broken. I found that a registry setting was missing in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat. All you have to do is right click on Acrobat, select NEW --> KEY, and call it EXE. Select the newly created folder, and in the right pane, right click, select NEW --> STRING VALUE. Double click the newly created string and under the Value Data: copy and paste the following line including the qoutations. "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" Once you are complete, close IE and reopen it and try and open a Adobe Reader File.
If you want the easier method you can also copy and paste the following code into WordPad and just change the file extention to .REG
Then all you have to do is double click the file and it will insert it into the registry automatically.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Reader 9.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe\""
Hope this helps,

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.
