Typeahead function in search field inside Facebook does not work in Firefox 13.0

Until 3 or 4 days ago, cool typeahead function inside search field inside Facebook always worked in Firefox. Now since 4 days ago, it does not work. But the typeahead function works inside search field inside Facebook on Internet Explorer BUT I prefer to use Firefox and do NOT want to switch to IE!!!
Is there anything I can do to regain that function?

Shalom DJST,
Thank you for reply.
The behavior did not start with Firefox 13. I actually upgraded to Firefox 13 in hope it would solve the problem that happened in previous older versions. It failed to solve the problem.
It had been working for 3 years on Firefox until last or 2 weeks ago.
Regarding search, I mean by "type-ahead" which is that FB's search field offers a drop down list of possible search results as I type. For example, if I type S, it will show list of all people or groups with first letter S. If I type sk, it will show list of anything such as people or groups that starts with Sk, and so on. This is most valuable time saving technique to look for my pals to say hi or groups that I do not belong to but want to read their news or info.
I think it is Facebook's programming problem but if I ask them, they will point to Firefox's fault by saying that it works for my Internet Explorer but not for Firefox and I do not want to get involved into tug war between Facebook and Mozilla.
I am just bummed that the valuable time saving search method no longer exists on Firefox.
Regards,
Aharon

  • Can't search contacts + Google synch does not work

    (1) The search field in contacts does not work. I have to go the phone app, find the person in there, then open up the contact from the phone app.(2) I have synched Google contacts with the phone's contacts. Updates to the phone's contacts transfer across sometimes immediately, but sometimes the phone goes for one month without synching. No manual sync is possible. Basically every time I want to sync a single contact for sure onto Google and onto other devices I have delete the account and reload it. Are there solutions to either of these problems?

  • TS1702 When I update to IOS6 on my 4S Facebook does not work properly, the news feed never updates it only says no new storeys and shows a picture of an antenna. When I reset my phone and go back to IOS5 Facebook works fine. What's up with IOS6 ????

    When I update my iPhone 4S to iOS six Facebook does not work properly the newsfeed doesn't load properly and I can never see what's going on all I see is a picture of an antenna and a little thing underneath it says no new stories when I reset my phone back to iOS 5 then it works just fine and I don't have any issues so there must be something wrong with iOS six that isn't letting Facebook load properly

    No I did not use any unauthorized methods for anything, I simply reset my phone back to factory.

  • IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged.  Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work.  Cannot power up iPad.  I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success.  Please help

    IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged.  Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work.  Cannot power up iPad.  I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success.  I did restore the iPad about 8 times during the past 2 weeks.  Just completed another restore.  iTunes says the the iPad has been restored and will restart automatically and appear in iTunes when it is ready.  That was 30 minutes ago.  iPad still won't start.  I am looking down the barrel of yet another fruitless restore.  What a crap product.

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

  • Thickbox 3.1 juqery plugin does not working on Firefox 9.0 version

    I have used thickbox 3.1 jquery plugin on my application. I have one issue, my open on new browser window instead on thickbox window. It's working fine with all the browser and with Firefox 3.6.0. But It does not working with firefox higher version like 9.0 and above. I have gone through the various forum to check the solution and being unlucky to found any.
    Can you plese help to identifying the solution for the same.

    Thanks for your quick comeback. What I found is the bug is in my js file which has fire event function to init click MouseEvents (event.initEvent). The event.initEvent has some conflicts with higher version of Firefox 9.0 and above.
    // evObj.initEvent( evt, true, false); if I change parameter to evObj.initEvent( evt, true, true); it works fine. the last parameter.
    //see below my piece of code.
    // Emulate a click on a given link
    function fireEvent(obj,evt) {
    var fireOnThis = obj;
    if( document.createEvent ) {
    var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
    evObj.initEvent( evt, true, true );
    fireOnThis.dispatchEvent(evObj);
    } else if( document.createEventObject ) {
    fireOnThis.fireEvent('on'+evt);
    }

  • URL Does Not Work in Firefox, but DOES Work in Other Browsers

    The following URL does NOT work in Firefox. However, it DOES work in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome:

  • The "a name" html tag does not work in Firefox.

    The tag works in all versions of Internet Explorer, but does not work in Firefox versions 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12.

    I haven't noticed any problems on most pages, but I have read about a problem where a script changes the length of the page content after loading (e.g., by collapsing content under headings, done on some FAQ or glossary pages).
    For example, this should position the browser at the Reset Printer section:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer
    A standard diagnostic step is to try Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether an odd behavior is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
    If links work correctly in Safe Mode, that usually points to an add-on or custom setting as the problem.
    Let us know whether that makes any difference.

  • Silverlight plug-in does not works in FireFox 4 - beta 7 ( Mac OS 10.6.6 ) !!!! What is the problem ? I don't have any installed add-on !!!

    Hi every one
    Silverlight plug-in does not works in FireFox 4 - beta 7 ( Mac OS 10.6.6 ) !!!!
    I don't have any installed Extensions except "Better GReader" and "Video Helper" !!!
    I have problem with Seesmic.com and installing applications that required Silverlight !
    I installed latest version of Silverlight many times.
    Please help me.
    (I don't have any problem with Safari or other Web Browser.)
    Thank You all.

    Silverlight only supports non-64 bit versions of Firefox on OSX (and from Firefox 4 onwards we're shipping 64-bit Firefox to 64-bit OSX users) and unlike with other plugins, we can't just start a 32-bit process to run it because of issues with the silverlight plugin architecture. We're working with the Silverlight team at Microsoft to get those fixed but it's essentially waiting on them.
    (Or you could try to pressure them into releasing a 64-bit Silverlight for Macs.)

  • Paypal plug-in does not work on Firefox

    As with others I see, the Paypal plug-in does not work with Firefox

    Every time Firefox opened

    This is a Paypal problem. Paypal has not updated their plugin to be compatible with Firefox 3.6.x. See the following (read the last paragraph):

    The 1-Click Weather extension does not work in Firefox 4. It comes up with a bunch of Javascript errors.

    You'll need a little bit of tweaking on this add-on. Please read this link. It might take a little bit of work, but it does worth it as 1-Click Weather is a far better add-on than any others of the same category:

  • "Search font .." does not work and CS2 crashes with every program shutdown ??

    Since yesterday Indesign is showing some strange behaviour ...
    At first I encountered that the "search font ..." dialogue does not work anymore, it just does not appear! It´s just as I wouldn´t have clicked anything ... That´s quite a prob for me, I really need this function, because I get a lot of documents with lots of fonts which I have to change. How can this function disappear??
    Another strange thing: since the font changing function disappeared Indesign chrashes with everey program shutdown (I´m working on Windows Vista) and on the other hand it´s suspiciously quick when starting ...
    Has anyone an idea how I can fix this?
    Thanks!

    Maybe good to know: I do not use more than one monitor. I have used the search font function before on the same day it was disappearing. I was working in a document with several hyperlinks imported from Word. as it happens.
    Any suggestions? I really need help!
