Sudden Display issues in Firefox from Dreamweaver-built pages

Hi, first time posting and a novice at Dreamweaver and web design so please bare with me.
I'm an IT administrator for a small charity company and they decided to ask me to build them a website, I bought Dreamweaver in University and had a small try with it but never really used it since.
Now I'm no web designer but I'm trying the best I can, I managed to make a few preliminary pages for use and found they displayed correctly in most browsers apart from IE and Opera.
But Suddenly today - after no editing or alterations since friday (and it displayed fine yesterday on tuesday), it started experiencing the same issues in Firefox this morning for no apparent reason. I assumed that it would be a problem with Firefox but when trying to sign up to Firefox help I meet an "Access Denied" page after clicking to sign up. Now I know there's no point in searching their forums for that issue because of course, how can someone complain they have the problem when the fact they can't get on the forums to post is what's preventing the post in the first place?
I googled both of those issues and turned up nothing, which led me here.
The "Access Denied" at signup issue is obviously not what I'm seeking for here though, but would like to know if anyone else has experienced the issue with the formatting suddenly displaying incorrectly in browsers when they worked fine before?
Like I said, I'm a complete novice at web design and dreamweaver so feel free to tell me the coding in the website is pants, I know it is but it does (did!) the job in most browsers.
Any help at all would be appreciated.

My advice, although negative, would be to stay clear unless you are confident and capable of using html and css. Dreamweaver won't do the job for you and you will be biting off more than you can chew.
Having said that I've made the necessary changes so that your page will work in all browers. Just copy the whole html code and css below, paste into a new Dreamweaver document and save to your site root folder.
Do not mix measurements i.e., width 43em, padding 15px etc. I would advise staying with px based measurements as measurements are critical to if the site works or not. I don't know what 43em + 15px makes but I do know what 170px + 15px makes. I have changed the width of the containers in your code to px.

Having trouble previewing my website on Safari and Firefox from Dreamweaver CS5

Hi,
I previously built a website using Dreamweaver version CS3 and it ran well. Now that I I have upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5, I'm having trouble previewing the menu text on my website and flash picture text. I'm using an Apple operating sytem (10.6.8). While previewing the web page On Safari and Firefox within Dreamweaver, my menus and the flash picture text have not shown up and the main page contained an error that says:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application on your computer or network:
null
is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
s.ytimg.com
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
You must restart this application after changing your settings."
Can you tell me what I do to correct this?

This is often related to embedded YouTube videos in your webpage.
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499751
"This warning is talking about the Flash Global Security Settings Manager. This is not a virus but rather a very common security step related to allowing Flash to connect to the Internet while testing on your local machine. This only occurs during testing on your local machine and does not come into play when that same Flash object is on the Web page on the server.
The Settings Manger allows you to "approve" connecting to the Internet for a particular Flash object.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/se ttings_manager04.html
So go to the Settings Manager, Click "Edit Locations" or "Add Location" and browse on you computer for the Flash file that you are giving permisssion to connect to the Internet. Each Flash object that attempts to access the Internet will need to be given permission separately.
Kind of a pain... or just upload your Flash to the server and test from there, then it's not an issue."

[Solved] Site display issues in Firefox 11.0-2/KDE 4.8.1

I have been having issues with the form fields of the AUR page. Specifically, with any version of Firefox after v9; the fields are incredibly small. (See http://imgur.com/KEdYk for what it looks like). I have removed gtk-kde4, and even created a vanilla user with a brand-new home directory, and this other user profile experiences the same problem. edit: In a fresh install of GNOME 3, the AUR page displays correctly. Also displays correctly if I revert to FF v9
This problem doesn't occur in Chromium, so I thought it was a FF issue, however, I've not heard of anybody else with this same problem... So I'm a little stumped. I filed a bug report a while back, (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28613 ), but it has been closed. Any help in diagnosing and/or fixing this issue would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks!

That is sounding quite strange. I've had display issues similar to yours with login fields and search fields that are usually at the top of a we page appearing distorted and on top of each other. Another prevalent problem that I noticed on YouTube was that text I enter into any field doesn't show up, but it is entered and I can search. I'm running xfce so I don't know what to say. Haven't had the problem in gnome, though I really don't like gnome 3 for its lack of what of what I considered organizational hierarchy. (though I am against hierarchies of other sorts), Ive also found that clearing the Firefox cache can solve some of these problems.

Display issue in Firefox

We are using Vibe 3.3, everything display is fine in IE. But issue on Firefox. And we find that one more big problem is Firefox cannot show all records.
Attached screen capture for your reference.
I am try to edit ssf_css.jsp but not sucess.

You already asked the same thing some time ago: https://forums.novell.com/showthread...lem-in-firefox
Please do not post the same issue in these forums twice!
In my eyes you've got 3 options:
1.) I really suggest buying maintenance for your site again. This would be really worth it, especially because you would be entitled for Vibe 4.0 which is coming next year and which will bring lots of incredibly great enhancements!
2.) keep on hacking files and stay with an unsupported and potentially unsecure system.
3.) get professional support which Novell and service providers like us can provide -> but this might be more expensive than buying maintenance again.
I would suggest No. 1!
Sorry for being so direct. ;-)

Detecting and displaying images inside SWF from same web page its embedded in

Great forum and appreciate the great help I've been getting
here. I am getting a bit more used to Flex now - the collection of
controls is pretty amazing.
I am trying to create an ImabeBrowse.SWF which when embedded
on a web page, it would then automatically show thumbnails of all
the images from that same page. Has anyone done anything like this
in AS3?
From documentation, it sounds like I would need to write some
Javascript which would traverse the HTML's DOM to get all image
URL's, and then pass these into the SWF?
If one of you experts could share some code, that'd be
greatly appreciated!!

Asking for more.........
Yes, I do agree there is no need to create an additional DAD when we want to call a procedure from infrastructure database (iasdb) because giving grant to public or portal_public schema is enough.
But why is it that even after following the right way to create a DAD for HR schema in infrastucture database fails to call a procedure?
The error which I get is:-
Database Log In Failed
TNS is unable to connect to destination. Invalid TNS address supplied or destination is not listening. This error can also occur because of underlying network transport problems.
Verify that the TNS name in the connectstring entry of the DAD for this URL is valid and the database listener is running.
The details for rajhr DAD
Database Connectivity Information
Database Username : HR
Database Password : hr
Databse Connection String : <blank>
I have left database connection string blank as the infrastructure database is local.
Is it that I cannot have two DAD for a local database eventhough they point to two different users?

New Macbook Air - display issues after waking from sleep

I have a 1 day old Macbook Air 13" (2013) --- when I wake the machine from sleep, the display shows horizontal / vertical bands for a couple of seconds before clearing up to show the desktop. Please see attached picture. This doesn't happen 100% of the time but I've been able to repeatedly replicate this at intervals. Does this seem like a hardware problem or an OS related issue? Thanks.

Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Since you just bought it, contact Apple about making an exchange within 14 days or repair after 2 week period.

Display issues when disconnecting from an external display

While I have found 3 bugs since my upgrade to 10.6 the biggest and most frequent issue is the MBP display when using and external monitor. When I connect a monitor all is well (mirroring mode). When I disconnect the MBP screen gets the major jitters and I can't stop it by doing anything in the Display Properties. The only way to resolve it to close the lid forcing the system into suspend mode. When I reopen all is well again. This is not an intermittent issue. Has anyone found this issue and is there a better work around?
The only other issues have been Mail crashing the whole system and Gotomeeting crashing the whole system when attempting to take Keynote into full screen mode.

I am have experienced both problems as well as if I have an external display connected to my MBP and move itunes video play back to the second screen then disconnect it from the MBP the video stays on the second display and will not gather back to the MBP display. The video is playing but off screen. Gather and detect screen do not work to get the video play back to the MBP screen.
When I reconnect the external display there is the video. I know this does not answer the original question, but from looking around the net it seems to be a growing issue.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I have a display issue with Firefox when I open my GODADDY Web email.

My GODADDY email opens in list form and not as a web screen as it does in IE10 or Chrome.

Hi chick.aday, this seems to be expected, however the Go Daddy support may also have some good advice how to change the view.

How do I stop Firefox from auto-reloading pages after I close one window but not others?

This happens when I have two or more separate Firefox windows open. If I close one, and then open a new window, it automatically goes to the sites that were open in the window I closed (as if it were restoring after a crash).
This isn't an issue when I only have one window open, and I have already set the following:
browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0
How can I get this to stop?

accessibility.blockautorefresh is not about restoring tabs from the previous session, but about preventing website from using the location response header to redirect to another website.
Firefox will always reload web pages.
Firefox always needs to reload tabs when you restore tabs from the previous session.
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: [X] "Don’t load tabs until selected"
If restore_on_demand is set, pinned tabs are restored on startup by default.
When restore_on_demand is set to true, the restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand pref overrides that behavior, and pinned tabs will only be restored when they are focused.
browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand (pinned tabs)(false)
browser.sessionstore.restore_on_demand (default as set in Options -> Tabs)(true)
browser.sessionstore.restore_hidden_tabs (tabs in other tab groups)(false)

I downloaded latest versionof Firefox from Mozilla web page, I rebooted my computer. The update did not take effect. How make late version active ?

My present version of Firfox is 3.5.15
My Op. System is Linux Fedora version 12.
Two days ago when I opened a file in a web search for Mercury Scientific Thermometers, the web page for NovaTech International-USA opened.
Centered in the middle of the page was a screen message reading
"Error: form not found." There's an X in the upper right corner of this small screen. There's an "OK" within the screen. Clicking on either of those optons does nto close the small screen. AND, clicking on any Menu
choice at the top of the main screen produces no action. File Edit View History Bookmarks tools Help are all unresponsive. The screen is
locked to the Cursor and Clicking any menu item. Tho' there are many choices on the Screen for various types of thermometers no choice responds to a click.
I closed down the computer. ThenI did a Cold Boot. There was no
change in the situation described above. The screen appeared again if
I chose to open Firefox.
I use 8 virutal screens. By which I mean I can have 8 screens open at a time. All 7 of my other available screens are perfectly active and perfectly normal in their behavior.
Rebooting changes nothing---the unwanted frozen/locked screen appears again if I attempt to open Firefox.
I opened the Firefox website. I soon found how to download the latest version of Firefox. But I used YUM to download it. Here is an excerpt of the Yum process:

I did a cold reboot of my computer.
In the Downloads Folder The Firefox update appeared.
But when I opened a Firefox page and clicked Help-About Firefox
the version of Firefox was still 3.5.15 AND the unwanted, Locked,
Frozen Novatech-International---USA Screen was still present and still
locked.
Please teach me the preferred way to Update Firefox and once the Updates have been downloaded, how do I activate those updates?
Many, many thanks,

How do I stop firefox from opening multiple pages?

When I click on a link, multiple new pages load on, usually advertising.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

How can I stop Firefox from changing Tabs/pages when I use the up/down arrows for scrolling?

A recent update is causing the browser to switch between tabs, or even go on to other pages, when I use the keyboard navigation arrows to scroll down the page. This is aggravating, especially when filling out a form, which can submit before completion. The tab switching occurs mostly when the focus is not in a specific portion of the web page, such as when I have selected a tab. I I can find no way to disable this behavior.
Win 7 Ultimate fully patched, Firefox version 35.0.1

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

Background Image Centering and Display issues in Internet Explorer--affecting home page only??

Hi--my web site is www.vergent.net, and for some reason, the background image will not center in Internet Explorer, but I'm having this issue only on the home page. (And only in IE. I am looking at it on IE 9). I've tried a number of workarounds, and nothing is working. Strangely, the same Master applied to other pages looks fine.
Please help!
A few more details:
The background image is placed into the Master page via the "browser fill" method. I tried a workaround where I just paste the background image directly onto the page and then placed content over that. However, IE doesn't seem to read the z-index information correctly. The result is that the background image winds up on top of all the content in IE using this method.
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Jennifer

PS, I have temporarily resolved this problem by uncentering the content and just pinning everything flush to the left.
