Technical Problems about Firefox ESR 31.0

Dear Support,
Grateful for your advice on the following items please:-
1. When we change the default character encoding via View > Character Encoding > Unicode through Firefox browser, the encoding can be changed. However, such setting cannot be saved, i.e. the default character encoding remains unchanged when the browser is re-opened again.
2. When opening a link that is a text file, the text file will be displayed at the Firefox browser. Is there a way to open a text file for display via Notepad.
The version of the Firefox version being used is Firefox ESR 31.0.
As the system is now in production use and our users urge us for the solution, your reply reply will be highly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi schiu,
At this point I would have to recommend looking for an add on that might accomplish this. Revisiting I was not able to do this either, however it was mentioned as a work around in another source. (My apologies)
Open in Browswer opens the file in the browser, not in a text edit program:
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/open-in-browser/]
To confirm, please also try asking the ESR mailing list mentioned here: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/]
I am sorry I could not further assist you on this issue.

I want to ask something about firefox.
why firefox use very much memory?
can you develop to reduce memory comsume?
this problem is very distrub in my PC with low memory.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

How much memory is Firefox using right now?
# Press '''CTRL+SHIFT+ESC''' to load the Task Manager window
# Click the Processes tab at the top. (Click once near the top of the window if you don't see tab
# Find firefox.exe, and see how many kilobytes of memory it's using.
Showing around 80MB when Firefox first starts is normal. Right now, I have 75 tabs open and it's using 500MB - this varies a lot depending on what you have in the tabs.
Other than high memory usage, what other problems are you experiencing? (Examples include slowness, high CPU usage, and failure to load certain sites)
Many of these issues, including high memory usage, can be caused by misbehaving add-ons. To see if this is the case, try the steps at [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]. Outdated plugins are another cause of this issue - you can check for this at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck

I am having major problems with Firefox. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing the display only when on Firefox for all web site, that the display would be shifted right about half a screen. It only happens on Firefox and happens for all web sites.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

New Firefox ESR and certs

Hi all: I downloaded and installed the newest Firefox ESR (31) this AM. I know that ZCM may not support this new version but I wanted to test it anyway. Right off Firefox refuses to load the ZCC website stating that the CA in untrusted. Gone in this new version of Firefox is the ability to bypass and load the CA anyhow. We use the internal ZCM CA rather than our external eDirectory CA. Should I change ZCM to use a new certificate minted by our eDir CA? If so, do I need to touch all the workstations in our zone?
Thanks, Chris.

What makes you think there is an issue about the ZCM Cert?
It's more of a Firefox Bug Really, which fails to trust certs you have
trueted that are self-signed vs using someone such as Verisign.
This really impacts AD Certs, ZCM Certs, , eDir Certs, etc.. etc...
In Short, There was a goof at Mozilla.....

Problem with firefox and menus

I have an intermittent problem in Firefox with menus. I click on a menu or a drop down button and, as soon as I move my mouse over the menu, it disappears. The only way to select something on the menu is to leave my mouse where it is and use the arrow keys and enter to select an item.
Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using fluxbox as my window manager.

There has been a bugreport about this, I can't find it right now, but this seems to be a bigger issue. I had this behavior with i3. The behavior was a bit different than you described, but it also affected the menus, so it's related. And yes, this made me very angry as well

I have downloaded Firefox 5.0.1 4 times but the 3.6.19 version still shows up in the "about Firefox" box. Firefox says I have the latest version, but it just does not reflect it in the "about" box.

When I tried the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time to download 5.0.1, Firefox states that I have the latest version installed, but it still shows up as version 3.6.19 in the "about Firefox" box. And this older version is also reflected in your "educated guesses" about my current browser below.

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

Still having a problem with Firefox going to "restart a session" even after re-installing Firefox. Keeps giving me "script error" when closing down. How do I fix this?

As stated previously...I have removed and re-installed Firefox, but am still getting "script error" when shutting it down and going to "restore session" when opening. Please advise what to do about this problem. Thank you.

Firefox 21 and Firefox 22 running on Windows 7 have been reported to take a long time to "wake up" from sleep. I realize hibernation is different than sleep, but... this is the closest match for your description.
Some users have reported that this problem is resolved in Firefox 23 (currently in beta). Others have had inconsistent luck with minimizing Firefox before letting Windows sleep and other measures.
Please check out this (very long) thread for more information: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898 browser freezes after resuming from sleep]
Or jump to the part about Firefox 23: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961898?page=3#answer-457321
The fact that this just started recently suggests perhaps it is related to another program or update, but I don't think anyone has confirmed the exact interaction that causes the problem.

I recently upgraded from Firefox ESR version 10 to version 17.0.7, and the Serch by Name function no longer works.

I was using Firefox ESR 10.0.11 and was forced to upgrade to 17.0.7 yesterday, even though my cfg file is set to not allow updates. Since the upgrade, the Search by Name function has stopped working, i.e.: I used to be able to type "yahoo" into the address bar and go straight to yahoo; now, when I type anything that is not a complete URL into the address bar, it goes to allied.com. I have already gone into about:config and changed keyword:URL to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q= and have also installed the Search By Name add-on. Neither of these work. Please help me.

Thank you for your reply. However, had you read my issue in full, you'd have noticed that I have ALREADY downloaded and installed the "Browse By Name" add-on, and it DID NOT work.

How do I report a security problem to Firefox?

Here's the problem: 
Wednesday morning my Mac at home got infected by malware which I believe is usually called the "Google redirect virus". My Mac at home has been upgraded to OSX 10.6.7 and I believe I was using Firefox 3.6.13 (it automatically upgraded tonight). I haven't been able to find any useful information on line about this malware. 
The behavior after infection was that every time I tried to use Google my request would get redirected. If I entered www.google.com in the address bar, the URL would get changed to www.google.com/FuneralHomes/<something> and the browser would try to go there and a "Under Construction" error message or a no-such-page message would be returned. This started happening after I did a Google search and was checking various links in Firefox, but once it started in Firefox I got the same behavior in Safari even without using Safari to look at any links. And it continued to happen in Safari even after I did a "Reset Safari..." 
When I got infected I was using a non-adminstrator account and I was not asked to download anything nor was I prompted for a password. 
I searched on "Google redirect Mac virus" using my (so far) untouched work computer and found several suggestions but no solutions. Apparently this is a PC problem that's been around a few years, but there were some Mac reports from last year. So last night I checked the DNS addresses in my
Network preferences, looked at /etc/hosts, and removed the only plug-in from the Library:Internet Plug-ins of the infected account, even though it was a Picasa plug-in that predated this infection. None of those seemed to be the problem. I also scanned my disk with an up-to-date "Norton AntiVirus" which
I got from work some time ago, but it found no viruses. 
What really puzzles me is that the problem gradually went away while I was checking it last night. At first, when I entered www.google.com the browser would still show the redirected address in the prompt that comes up and it had the Legacy.com logo on the left instead of the Google one but it would actually go to the Google website (unless I'm being spoofed). Then at a later attempt, only the wrong logo persisted. Then at an even later attempt the logo got fixed and everything looked fine and appeared to behave correctly. 
Frankly, that's a little scary. It's as if a really smart trojan got
installed and was covering its tracks while it set up a man-in-the-middle attack (please advise if I'm misusing the jargon). If I'm being too paranoid, great, but I'd still like to know how such behavior could be induced on my machine just by linking to a website. Can anyone help?
''moderator- fixed the leading space formatting errors in this posting''

Thanks, the-edmeister, but the only relevant post I found was from GB Colburn on bleepingcomputer.com, wherein he reported a similar problem about a year ago. I've found a few similar threads in the last year or so (by searching "Google redirect mac virus" in Google) but they are all about the same: someone reports the problem, responders have various random suggestions, the problem seems to go away by itself (at least sometimes), and there's nothing conclusive either good or bad.
Without myself being as knowledgeable as GB Colburn, it doesn't look to me like the problem is in the DNS system or the router. It acts more like some malware in the automatic completion in the address bar of the browser or maybe in the history system, but I can't figure out how an infection in one browser could affect another browser. And I *really* can't figure out how it could be self-healing.
It's really frustrating that none of the major parties involved in this—Firefox, Google, Safari (Apple), Verizon (my internet provider)—even have a process for reporting a security issue. At least not one that I, an ordinary semi-naive user, can find.

Hello apple
I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
Who have this problem??

Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

How to find out WHY Flash Player 11.2.202.236 plugins crash in Firefox ESR 10.0.6 on 64-bit Linux

Flash crashes dozens of times a day and I am trying to figure out WHY.
I have the recommended latest player & browser for my operating system.
The only diagnostic information I have is that the crashes seem to occur when a few tabs are open with videos loading in them and when any one video is closed, flash then locks up the browser for about 30 seconds, and then ALL the videos that were loading in separate tabs are dumped & say that the plugin crashed.
Details about the system from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
1. Flash player version: 11.2.202.236
2. Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 (64-bit)
3. Browser: Firefox Firefox ESR 10.0.6
This is the correct set of components.
Debugging, I've modified the about:config dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs to any value of 10 seconds to 45 seconds (the default), but it doesn't seem to make a difference in the number of crashes.
Any idea how to get more diagnostic information?

Unfortunately, there's nothing in "/var/crash" after the numerous flash crashes so I'm not sure where to look next.
The 'dmesg' command reports:
npviewer.bin[16884]: segfault at 340 ip 00007f26bda22ab0 sp 00007fffa8abbe78 error 6 in libflashplayer.so[7f26bd68d000+1179000]
Bringing up the CentOS 6 "Applications->System Tools->System Monitor", I see the numerous Flash crashes appear to have some relationship with "npviewer.bin", which uses the "/usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so" shared object module and which has numerous "open files", one of which is "/home/<username>/.xsession-errors".
Looking at "/home/<username>/.xsession-errors", we find these lines, which may be useful.

Q: Where do we look to find the cause of numerous flash crashes on Linux?

Can I use Flash Player plugin version 11.2.202.228 with my Firefox ESR 10.0.7 instead of the most current Flash Player plugin?

I am trying the Tor web browser software pack and it comes with Firefox ESR 10.0.7.
Right now, I'm trying to install a Flash Player plugin because it doesn't have one in this Firefox ESR 10.0.7 already, or this browser just doesn't see the slightly older Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin that I already have already installed on this machine.
'''Is there a way to make this Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser see the Flash Player plugin 11.2.202.228 that I already have installed on this machine without installing the newest, possibly problematic Flash Player plugin?'''
I already have the Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin installed on this machine, a PC with Windows 7 ULT, because the most current versions of the Flash Player plugin had some problems and they wouldn't allow Flash content to play at all, so I reverted back to a slightly older version of the Flash Player that was reliable, crash free, and most importantly, it works.
But when I try to play any Flash content in this Tor-Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser it tells me I don't have a Flash Player on this machine, or installed as a browser plugin or add-on, and it wants me to install the most current Flash Player on this machine, which I DO NOT want to do for the reasons I stated above.
My other Firefox browser, along with Google's newest Chrome browser and a newer version of the Safari browser for Windows, plus an older Internet Explorer 8, all WORK JUST FINE with the Flash Player 11.2.202.228 that I have installed on this computer and Google Chrome and Safari didn't even require having newer Flash Player plugins installed at all... they just see the Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin that I already have on this machine and they play all Flash content perfectly.
So can I just make this Tor-Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser see the existing Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin that I already have on this machine?... and if so, how do I do that?
Thanks for any help.
Also, I'm not able to find an actual community help forum for Tor, even via their "Torproject.org" website... is there one?
Thanks,
numetro

You should actually be using Flash 10.3 (11.2 is insecure).[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox#w_solution-2-downgrade-flash|Solution 2: Downgrade Flash]].
Also, is there a reason you are using Firefox ESR? It's mean for organizations, and doesn't include all the security and stability fixes that Firefox latest (15.0.1) has.

How do I change the fonts on the main page.My fonts have recently changed without my doing anything. They are like 6 point instead of the 12 I am used to. Email font is now huge. Is this an ATT/Yahoo problem or Firefox. Safari fonts seem to be o.k.

How do I change the fonts on the home page? They recently shrank from 12 to very tiny..(6 pt?). I did nothing to change them, but after the event tried to change them using "preferences-Fonts"which had no effect. ATT seems to have made a change in their email. The fonts in the email are now huge (18 pt?). This could be an ATT/Yahoo problem with Mac, although Safari seems to be working o. k.

Jim, extensions are also add-ons. Add-ons include extensions, themes and plugins.
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you need to make sure it's not coming from 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] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. 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 theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Hardware diagnostic shows me a problem about charging battery. What about it ?

Hi.
I bought a MacBook Pro retina 13', mid 14. on last december, and after almost a month I did the hardware test of apple as the Technic support says, and this hardware test shows me a problem about charging battery, so, I wanna know what about it, is it normal ? or is it a battery problem or is it a problem about the Current adaptador ? Thank your for your answers.

Could be battery, could be adaptor, could be the computer itself. You will have to take it in for testing. Fortunately, you are still under warranty.

I bought several season of a tv series in the German Apple Store. Now they are gone due to technical problems (no backup). How do I get them back? ATTENTION: Meanwhile I moved to Switzerland and the Swiss Store doesn't offer tv series.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
I'll hit a few of your questions - others will have to do others since I'm not up on some of the issues you ask about
4) is there an easy way to review/delete items (in 6, i run a basic slideshow and delete on the fly -- is this still workable in 7?)?
Yes
5) Are there significant functionality benefits of 7 over 6 (e.g., does the noise function or shadow/highlight really offer significant benefits? The Events seems obvious, but I'm more interested in "under the hood" experience
Yes
Loseless editing - web galleries - events
a) Is import any faster? As my library is growing in size, the import is getting overly slow
It is fine for me (only you can compare to your current) - I have 20542 items using 26.3 GB in 271 events
7) Is there a full-screen edit mode?
yes
8) Can you configure events so that it's not just by day?
yes
9) Is 6's "roll" structure as mirrored in the file system still available in the Events approach, or is the database structure that once you've converted a library, there's no going back?
Events replace rolls (if your rolls are named - NOT the default rollxxx name - they will come across as is - to me events are rolls with much more capability and a new name - some people are VERY putoff by the change (but most love it) for reasons that I simply do not comprehend
10) What is the effective (or advised) maximum library size? I've probably got over 60GB of images in my libraries now, with 20,000 images or so. If 7 can readily digest them (and preserve all my albums, etc.), then I'd love to combine them into one, unless that will kill performance, make the database unstable, drive backups into interminable waits, etc.
The advertised max is 250,000 photos - I have about the same number of photos as you in about 1/3 the space - there are a few users here with libararies your size. With iPhoto Library Manager it is easy to maintain multiple libraries if you choose
