Strange:1 Firefox vs. Internet Explorer about Input Text Issue

After a long break, hi everyone,
Here's the case:
1-We have a full flash site hosted on a php+asp mixed web
server.
2-Site is in English and also in Turkish.
3-We have a mail form on "Contact" page.
4-We have 5 input texts which are all has these attributes:
Arial Tur (Exists in Turkish XP SP2 PRO's as default)
Render Text as Html=checked,
Character Embedding=Basic Latin + Latin 1 + Latin Extended A
5-We have a "Send" button, has action:
loadVariables("phpmailer/iletisim.php", this, "POST");
6-We have a html index, published within Flash CS3, beginning
with:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN">
<head>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=utf-8">
7-IExplorer:7.0.5730.13, Firefox:2.0.0.10,Flash:CS^(Flash9,
AS2)
Here are the problems:
1-When i open the file with internet explorer i can not input
some Turkish characters, but not all of them. When i copy these
characers from notepad and paste, i can see all of them. Firefox
has no problem until here.
2-But for both browsers when i send the form with turkish
characters, i get a messed up mail with unusual characters. I
checked out the sendmail.php (a generic name) file, it mails
turkish characters just fine.
Thanks a lot.
See you on the next chapter of "Strange Things Happening to
me ,I Hope I'm not Alone."

I found the solution.
in publish settings, if "transparent windowless" option
selected some of non-western characters can not be shown in dynamic
or input text boxes.
This is a Flash Player 9 bug.
Select "opack windowless" or "window" or use one of older
flash player versions.
Many thanks to you, adobe, for your interest.

Jumpy scrowl control with mouse.Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer. Problem fixed when I updated to 6. 0.2 but problems returned after about a week.. 0.2

Jumpy scroll wheel control with mouse. Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer.Even pushing the scroll wheel and trying to adjust for a smooth easy scroll the text stops and starts. Problem fixed itself when I updated to 6. 0.2 from an older version but the problem returned after about a week.. The problems go away when I go to web site and scroll but is back when I return to my home page (mozilla firefox)

Good post, and glad to hear you had a solid transition. Mine went well too, though I think I beat the rush.
It's worth noting that the vast and overwhelming majority of headaches people were experiencing were related to download and activation servers (as well as credit check servers for some mobile carriers) being crushed and overwhelmed.
To give you an idea of just how crushed, here are some numbers. In the last year, something in the neighborhood of 8 million iPhones have been sold. That's just shy of 22,000 per day. So the typical traffic is around 22,000 times a day, someone is hitting the server for update/activation.
This weekend, Apple sold 1 million iPhones. In other words, 333,333 phones per day. Holy crap!
As if that wasn't enough, there are 8 million of us out there with the first generation iPhone. Not only do we need to download the new firmware, but we have to install it. The installation process requires hitting the activation server again, to validate the phone. Mind you, not everybody upgraded this weekend, but a few million did. For the sake of argument, we'll assume that's 1 million a day. So, instead of the normall traffic of 22K phones a day, those activation servers got SLAMMED with 1.33 million activations per day.
It ***** that some people had delays and hiccups and a hard time and everything, but completely understandable. With luck things will run more smoothly from here on out.

MOUSE_DOWN & MOUSE_UP events behaving strangely in firefox and internet explorer w/low framerate

Basically what I'm seeing is that in Firefox and Internet Explorer only, using the latest flash plugins for each, when the framerate in my game drops due to a large number of display objects on screen (not unexpected behavior), MOUSE_DOWN and MOUSE_UP events seem to get queued up (this probably happens whether the framerate is low or not, but it doesn't have any adverse effects when the framerate is high). Flash will try to process every click that occurs, even though it can take up to several seconds. So, for example, if the user clicks the mouse 20 times in a second, but the framerate is running at around 5 fps, the game will be reacting to those clicks for around 3-5 seconds. It doesn't ignore any of them. This causes some strage behavior in our game and is not desirable. In the standalone flash player, and in Chrome browser, a large number of clicks in a short time frame does not have the same behavior. It seems to treat the most recent click with some priority, so it will cancel out a previous click. A single click in our game will cause an object to generate a path and move to the point on screen which was clicked (think point-and-click to move a walking 2D character).
Since this behavior is so different in 2 browsers, could have something to do with how it's embedded, like the wmode parameter? That seems to be the only idea that comes up searching on Google. Is there some way in my code that I can forcibly make a new mouse_down get processed right away instead of waiting for previous events to complete?

Ya, the problem isn't that events are coming in out of order, but rather they are somehow getting triggered at an unacceptably slow rate. It's not that the events are complicated. They merely set a boolean _isMouseDown to true and false (for MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP, respectively). But if I rapidly click, and then let go of the mouse, I'll see that boolean get set true,false,true,false,etc for a few seconds after I let go of the mouse. Why does this delay exist in Firefox and IE but not Chrome or the standalone player? It's almost as if Chrome and the standalone player let events be in their own thread while IE and Firefox, the events get held up, maybe because there is only one thread to use?

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 2-3 days ago ==

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)

I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps.

What other browser can I get besides Firefox or Internet Explorer?

For the past 10 revisions/updates FireFox has gotten buggier and buggier and crashes more and more. So I am looking for an alternative browser besides the pieces of crap FireFox and Internet Explorer. Any ideas?

Hi tforsberg, obviously Firefox behaves differently on your system(s) than on mine, even though we use the same OS.
Were you able to find any crash IDs?
To track down the extra Flash DLL, could you try the following: type or paste '''about:plugins''' in the address bar and press Enter. You can use Find (Ctrl+f) and search for '''npswf''' to find the Flash plugin(s) on the page. The default location is:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
Can you track down Flash 12 to that or a different location?
Regarding session restore, you get the best results when you exit Firefox using the menu. Either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* File menu > Exit
If you exit Firefox by closing windows individually, or by right-clicking Firefox on the task bar and choosing Close All Windows, you might not be able to recover more than 3 or 4 windows. You can increase the number of closed windows that can be restored by changing a setting:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) You can raise these values to store more closed window and closed tab history (which then can be restored from the History menu):
* browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo (number of closed windows remembered; default is 3)
* browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo (number of closed tabs remembered, per window; default is 10)

Firefox and internet explorer doesnt work with mac os 10.4.7

i can't seem to get firefox and Internet explorer to work on my g4 da mac with os 10.4.7. any suggestions...

Did they ever work for you?
Did you recently install some new software or make a hardware change to your machine?
The first rule of thumb with misbehaving applications is to erase the Application's preferences and then try it again, but that might be somewhat dangerous considering that you could accidentally erase all of your bookmarks/favorites in the process.
I'm running Mac OS 10.4.7 and I can get FireFox 1.07, 1.5, and 2.0, plus IE 5.2.3 to run, in addition to other browsers like Safari 2, OmniWeb 5.5, Netscape 7.2, and Opera 8.5 and 9.

All suggestions for removal of avira/ask browser failed it is inbedded firefox and internet explorer what now

Hi,
You can try updating Firefox and check: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version Updating Howto]
If the problem persists you can then reset Firefox and start afresh.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Why do I see two different versions of a website on Firefox and Internet Explorer? The version on Firefox is an older version of the website.

I use Intuit to maintain a website. After I update the website, Firefox continues to display the previous version while the revised version is displayed on Internet Explorer. I have tried using both Firefox and Internet Explorer when I revise the website, but that does not appear to make any difference. The version on Firefox usually updates to the new version with in a day or two, but the change on Internet Explorer is immediate.

Try clearing your browser cache.
Tools > Clear Recent History... - hit Details and make sure only Cache is selected, then select Everything and hit the Clear Now button.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons 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.

I added Firefox to Internet Explorer. Now both browsers give me outdated pages ofonline magazines

I installed firefox 3 days ago and use it concurrently with Internet Explorer. Both browsers deliver outdated pages of Spiegel-Online, but of different dates. After diskcleanup Internet Explorer yielded today's page. Firefox still gives me yesterdays page of Spiegel Oonline. Is this a problem of my computer, the browsers or the provider? What can I do?

''I have outdated pages, 2-3 days old, in Firefox and Internet Explorer''
I turn off automatic updating of webpages myself. You can clear cache now with Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > clear now
To clear cache at the end of your Firefox session, and that is the ONLY thing I allow clearing history to clear (Tools -> options -> Privacy), make sure you are not clearing any of your web history, passwords, cookies etc in "Settings for Clearing History" when you allow clearing of history

BTW you can do the same in in Internet Explorer and other browsers as well. In Firefox I move the cache to outside of the profile, I don't like backing it up.

NONE of the web pages load properly. If I hit "Ctrl + F5" it will fix THAT PAGE ONLY. I have to do this to EVERY SINGLE page I try to load. This ONLY happens with FIREFOX. Internet Explorer works fine. PLEASE HELP! Thanks.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

What is the difference between Firefox and Internet Explorer?

I'm an older woman and it's hard for me to keep up with all the new technology these days. Can someone please explain the difference between Firefox and Internet Explorer? Which one is better to use? Many thanks for your help.

Firefox, Chrome and Internet explorer are all types of Browser; for use (mainly) on the internet, other modern browsers are Safari & Opera.
Just to confuse things slightly, Windows Explorer, is the name of the software that is usually used to look at content (files & folders) on Windows PCs.
Maybe these articles will help

Try to open mozilla firefox but internet explorer opens instead.

Everytime I try to open mozilla firefox, my Internet Explorer opens instead. I uninstalled firefox and downloaded it again, but it doesn't work. What can I do to fix my problem?

Possibly you are trying to open Firefox indirectly by selecting some link or HTML item, rather than using Firefox's start icon, or program shortcut.
By default on Windows IE is the chosen browser for many actions and you will need to change that if you wish Firefox to be the browser of default choice.
* See [[Make Firefox your default browser]]
* Use '''MenuButton {Three Bar Icon) -> Options {Cog Icon) -> [Make Firefox My Default Browser]'''

Site problems in Firefox and Internet Explorer

Here's my site: http://davesnowgraphics.com/DSG/Home.html
Created in iWeb '08. Here is a list of problems. Solutions welcome.
1) In all browsers: links to internal pages open up in a new window or tab. As an internal link, the option to "Open page in a new window" is not even available. I therefore assume that they should open in the same window, but most open in a new page or tab.
2) In Firefox (both Mac and PC) the text spacing is messed up. Throws spaces in the middle of words and generally stretches text or letter spacing, making text returns seemingly at random. The fonts are all supposedly web safe (Trebuchet MS and Times New Roman).
3) Site is TOTALLY jacked in Internet Explorer. Transparency of linked images dumped, making intended graphics solid white. Also on the PC (I don't have the Mac I.E.), my text gets hijacked by random text links with those annoying pop-up boxes that lead elsewhere.
Is it possible for an iWeb-generated site to work in commonly-used browsers, or do I have to learn Dreamweaver?

Okay, so I did some code experimentation and solved everything in my last post inquiry.
Seems the entire line *onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;" onkeypress="window.open(this.href); return false;"* needs to be removed from the javascript that iWeb generates when you have a link associated with a graphic. Pain in the butt, but it works.
Also did extensive searching for title= and manually changed the following text to what I wanted it to be.
I'm interested to know if these issues are resolved with the iWeb '09 update. Anybody know?
I also removed the graphics that I was using as links on the cubes. I put simple square shapes in the middle of the cube sides, made them transparent and assigned the link to them. They don't map the entire cube side as a link, but enough to make it functional. Also, for some reason, the fact that they're native iWeb-generated shapes and not placed graphics, they open up in the same page without having to delete the code line mentioned above.
Still no solutions to the following I.E. issue in my initial post.
I have the site open on my PC right now in IE. If you go to About > Services, the words "Business", "communication" and "Project Management" are green with double underlines. If I roll over them, I get a popup window with an advertisement for GameVance. What's up with that? Is that a setting in my local Internet Explorer properties that I need to disable?
