The search box in the center of the opening page of Firefox does not work. If I enter a search term in that box and press SEARCH, nothing happens.

This is really simple. If I enter a word or words in the search box at the Mozilla Start Page and press the SEARCH button, nothing happens. If someone knows what is happening pls send email to me here: [email protected]

mine doesn't work either...waited a couple days to see if there was a quick update to fix this easy problem but there isn't yet

There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

My Center button on my Ipod 3rd generation is not working? What do i do it still goes up and down just doesnt select anything.

My Center button on my Ipod 3rd generation is not working? What do i do it still goes up and down just doesnt select anything.

What I had to was backup my device's data to either iCloud or iTunes. Once it was backed up I erased all of my settings as if my iPad just came out of the box. You set it up again and it will asked you to either start as new, back up from iTunes, or back up from ICloud. If you want to see if everything works you can set up as new, otherwise just pick the choice depending on where you backed up your information. Eventually it will restore all of your information and your iMessage and FaceTime should be working. It worked for me, if you'd like more/better instructions let me know!!

Solution update: Disabled XULRunner 1.9.1 extension from Add-ons > Extensions. Problem solved.

Firefox does not work with the USPS self ship web site. Will not allow printing of postage labels.

Some months ago, user "junkbondman" asked this question somewhat poorly, and partly as a result got a non-responsive boilerplate answer by someone who did not read the question's key (if cryptic) point:
> Select a service type. THIS IS WHERE THE WEB SITE FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY
That's too bad, because 16 other users identified "HAVE SAME PROBLEM" - as had, no doubt, a large majority of the 677 viewers of the question. However, maybe to get a better answer we need to start with a better definition of the problem.
The way that the USPS site <cns.usps.com> works to print a label is that addresses (return and forward) are defined, the package weight and value are specified, and then a shipping mode is selected before paying and printing the label. The shipping mode is selected in a section titled "Select a service type", via an embedded table using a vertical scroll-bar that Firefox cannot handle. [Firefox is not alone in that. For example, Safari under iOS cannot scroll the embedded table, but USPS provides a mobile app which mitigates that problem by presenting the table differently.]
Now, it should be stipulated that the table is the worst element in a bad page that does not begin to pass W3 validation [71 errors, 19 warnings - looks like government work]. However, other browsers (like Google Chrome) handle that table with apparent ease. The question is whether Firefox should be able to do so - and, if so, how? As of Fx 33.0, this still does not work.
NOTES:
(1) Unfortunately, to examine this problem requires setting up a USPS account in order to see the shipping page. Setting up the account is easy, but it is a small extra burden to examining the problem.
(2) The problem has been reported to USPS, but has elicited no sign of intelligent life.

''I get the "pointer" mouse cursor when mousing over the blue bar, and I can click on it and scroll the contents as with any other scroll bar, but the bar doesn't move up and down in sync with the content being scrolled: it just stays put. If I do not slide straight down, the blue bar may twitch a pixel left or right.''
Great description! - sorry if you implied that earlier and I misunderstood, but I think that description adds crucial details:
* must hover over the ''blue'' part of the bar (representing the visible part of the table) and
* get the "selector" cursor (the pointing finger), then
* hold that click while scrolling (inside or outside of the table doesn't matter, as long as that click is held) to the needed table row, then
* release the click, and the table stays in place to allow a selection.
Most pages with an embedded scrollable input form (like the box I'm typing in on this page) do not change to the selector cursor when hovering over ''any'' part of the scroll bar, either ''blue'' (representing the visible part of the input form) or ''white'' (the invisible part of the input form). And it is common to click in the ''white'' part of the bar as a way of saying "show what is not visible". You can't do that with these USPS input forms, which behave differently.
Now, even with this method, that remains a very unintuitive (because the scroll bar does not reflect the position, and because the actual ''selections'' never get the "selector" cursor) and awkward way to work, so there is no visual feedback on either part of the operation.
And, I must try to understand why some browsers treat this differently. For example with Chrome (like Firefox), the cursor changes to "selector" in the blue part of the scroll bar, but not in the white part, but with Chrome (unlike Firefox):
- a ''click'' in the white ("invisible") part of the scroll bar or
- a ''drag'' on the blue ("visible") part of the scroll bar
causes movement in the required direction - altogether more intuitive behavior.
Bottom line: At least there is a way to make this work with Firefox, but it is awkward, to say the least. It will require a lot more thought to think about:
* how and why some browsers handle these non-standard input forms with such intuitive behavior (that is, behavior that is familiar in more standard input forms),
* whether the fact that Firefox is less accommodating in that regard is a reportable bug, or whether Firefox should not have to worry about sites (like usps.com) that can't be bothered to comply with standards.
What do you think about those questions?

How can I delete "authorities" certificates? I highlight one and ask to delete it and say OK. Then it is not in the list, until I look at the list of certificates again. It is there. So Firefox does not really delete it. Help!

I have tried more than once to delete the "authorities" certificates. It looks like it works. However when I go out of that window and then back to look at the certificates, they are not deleted.
I really do not want all those certificates just there.

You can edit a certificate and remove all trusted bits if you do not want a build-in certificate to be used as a root certificate.

When I attempt to updates apps on my ipad my password does not work. I tried updating them one at a time and it still doesn't work. I've reset my password and I can use the new password and update apps on my PC but not on my ipad. Why?

When I attempt to update apps on my ipad my password does not work, even when I attempt to update each app separately. When I change the password it works on my PC but not on my ipad. Why?

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

How can I get multiple users to be able to share the music on iTunes? I've tried Home Sharing, but it does not work properly.

How can I get home sharing to work on my mac mini for multiple users? It says it is working, but it never shows up in the left hand column.

Gino Cerullo,
Thanks for your response. I tried all that myself. In fact, last night, it all worked fine on all users. This morning, no Home Sharing would show up. It is really weird because some setting must have changed, but I did not knowingly changed anything, and now all the obvious fixes don't work. In fact, if I turn off Home Sharing and turn it back on, then it comes up only until I hit the "done" button on the set up page and then it goes away from the left hand column again. The ADVANCED drop down tab says it is on, but it is not there.
Thanks anyway.
Edzell

Firefox is configured to use the Cisco ScanSafe proxy but althought IE manages local webservices correctly, Firefox does not

We are testing Cisco ScanSafe, a SaaS proxy/web protection solution. You use it be filling in a proxy server on port 8080. In IE everything works fine but Firefox seems unable to distinguish local from internet sites. I have a host that I approach with http://bugzilla2 that Firefox keeps on sending through the proxy which it shouldn't as I have configured the exception in the no proxy setting to exclude 192.168.0.0/16.

go to '''TOOLS '''then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK tab''' then '''SETTINGS tab''' and select the options '''NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK '''again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
''if you like to not disable the proxy settings choose'' : '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' (it is in the same session)
thank you
