  • I am using Firefox 23.1 all of a sudden images are not displayed, I have started in safe mode, installed a new version and nothing help

    I have tried everything from re-installing FF 32.1
    restarting is safe mode
    re-examined all extensions to see if any could be cause it and disabled some and nothing.
    I will NOT go higher than 23 as I have many more problems when I was in those
    I have a mac. ...10.8.5

    If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
    *Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the <b>permissions.default.image</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.

    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • Laptop shut down during firefox update and now will not start up - did a uninstall and reinstall and still will not start up

    firefox was installing an update and i accidently hit the power button and so it shut down in the middle of the update. after i started my computer again, firefox would not start up. i tried to download it hoping the update would complete but it still would not start up when i clicked on the icon. so i tried to delete it and it would not delete said it was open, so i shut down and restarted the computer. then it deleted using the control panel remove program option. after that i logged onto IE to mozilla.org and downloaded it, afterward it still would not open up or connect to the internet.

    Hi meekprm-
    It sounds like you've tried to do the right thing- by uninstalling and then reinstalling. I'm hoping that you can look over the steps I usually suggest and see if there is anything different that may help you get a fresh version of Firefox installed.
    * Get the latest version: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • When i try to open firefox it tells me windows cannot access the specified device, path or file, you may not have the apperioate permission to open the item. I have tried to uninstall and re install and it still will not open.

    this happened when i downloaded the latest patch and i have not been able to access it since.

    Your old MacBook series, built between 2006 and 2010, had several
    different verions within those years and they do not all accept a later
    upgrade to the most newest OS X versions...
    These shipped with (early) intel-version Tiger OS X 10.4.x through
    Leopard 10.5.x, and early models can use Snow Leopard 10.6.8,
    & some can run as late as Lion 10.7.5; or maybe Mavericks 10.9.2.
    Hardware limits and system configuration specs determine this.
    A supported computer may also need hardware upgrade (RAM)
    to run a later OS X system version along with newer software.
    •How to identify MacBook models:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1635
    •Apple MacBook Specs (ALL MacBook Technical Specs) - everymac.com:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
    The base system upgrade for earliest MacBook 1.1 & MB2.1 past
    the original as-shipped Leopard 10.5.x, would be Snow Leopard
    10.6 (w/ Combo update to 10.6.8 v.1.1) for Snow Leopard download.
    So your MacBook likely has either Leopard or Snow Leopard. If it has
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed/updated to last step, then it may be
    able to go to the online Mac App Store, App Store, iTunes Store, etc.
    You can see if an applicable upgrade past the current OS X system
    is available from the Mac App Store. If yours is MacBook1.1 (early)
    then highest it may go is Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The later MB2.1
    has limited upgrade, and could use Lion OS X 10.7.5 at most.
    More recent builds of MacBook, toward the last model year 2010,
    can take as new an upgrade as Mavericks OS X 10.9.2. This is
    based on build version specs, hardware limitation, and so on.
    •Mac OS X - Upgrade - Apple Support:
    http://www.apple.com/support/osx/upgrade/
    In order to know more about the possibilities, you'd have to supply
    more information on your exact MacBook model build year etc.
    The "About this Mac" as found under the Apple menu icon  is of
    some help. Additional info from "More Info" in the next window can
    help when System Profiler appears. The hardware specs are there.

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled the new iTunes but it still will not work.  I keep getting the error mesage relating to MSVCR80.dll, the installation error 7 (windows error 126). I have tried moving and removing the dll files including the QTMovie dll

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes 15 times regarding the latest release and still get the MSVCR80.dll and Error 7 (Windows error 126) messages.
    I have tried moving the dll filesincluding the QTMovie dll file to now avail.  Can anyone please help, as I am sure you all, like me, have thousnads of dollars and songs invested in this system and need a fix fast.  Can anyone please help???

    Dear avid iTunes users - I have cracked it!!!
    The response from Apple/iTunes was extremely poor and did not solve the problem.
    I have a look in msconfig and observed which applications/services were running - one of which was the 'Apple Application Support'
    So ... I had a look at what was in this folder and found the APS Daemon.exe file causing all the trouble.
    So ... I simply deleted the Apple folder found in C:\program files\common files\.
    I did a restart and did not get the MSCVCR80.dll or Error 7 (windows 126) error messages.
    I reinstalled the current version of iTunes (for the 16th time!)
    Hey presto!!!
    IT WORKED :-O Woooohooo!!!
    So ... to all those smarty-pants boffin-brianiacs out there (apple/iTunes): this is how you do it!!!!!!!!!!
    YOU DO NOT NEED TO UNINSTALL ALL THE APPLE/QUICKTIME OR RELATED PROGRAMS - JUST DELETE THE APPLE FOLDER IN THE C:\PROGRAM FILES DIRECTORY.
    Nuff said.

  • Embedded Google search on our website is not showing results. Windows 8, 64 bit, Firefox 30

    We have Google Search embedded in our website. It was brought to my attention by one of our employees that Firefox is not showing the results of the search after the search button is clicked. The issue seems to be only confined to Firefox. Tested the issue on Internet Explorer 10 and Google Chrome and both are working as expected, showing the results on our results page.
    I am using Windows 8, 64 bit, Firefox 30. The user having the issue is on Windows 7, 64 bit.
    I used the Web console and there were an error message of
    'TypeError: google.search.Search.apiary5337 is not a function'.
    I am not sure this is the root of the issue or not, but why would this work in Chrome and Internet Explorer and not in Firefox?
    If you need to check it, out website is http://www.dmns.org/ . The search box it on the top right of the page. You will see that the page redirects to our '/results?q=searchterm'. We are a science institution so if you type "science" in the search box, you will get redirected to the '/results' page with the query string of 'science' for the search term. But in my case the search results below are blank. If you do the same search if Chrome or IE the results show fine.
    Oh, I do not have any add on installed on Firefox.
    Any suggestions or a fix would be great.
    Thank you.

    Problem SOLVED.
    This is probably still a bug in Firefox. Our Google Search <script> that call the Javascript service from Google was within the Body tag. I moved the Script tag to the head and now it seems to work as expected. In the new Firefox, are <script> tags not allowed within the Body element?

  • My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows proc

    My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows processes, while Firefox does not run.
    I manually deleted Firefox from the list once I have Windows processing.
    And when I clicked on Firefox, Firefox will open quickly and easily.
    Firefox process in Windows Processes names list called "firefox.exe * 32" is.
    Please try to solve my problem, my problem is how to solve?

    Hi, are you saying that you start Firefox and it stalls -- you can see it in the Task Manager but it never displays -- but if you kill that process and start Firefox again it starts up properly that second time?
    If you look at the statistics available in the Task Manager's processes tab such as bytes read or other bytes, can you see whether Firefox is doing anything at all? ''Note: You might need to add columns if your Processes tab isn't set up to display statistics. You can do that from the View menu.''

  • Flash Player 13.0.0.206 not working with Firefox 28 or IE, using Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi, I've been having problems with Flash Player all week, and I've tried everything I've found so far, including completely uninstalling and reinstalling Flash multiple times, reverting to previous versions of flash (Flash 11.7 or something similar) uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, checking for viruses and malware, updating my video drivers, disabling hardware acceleration, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what is wrong.  Videos will only load momentarily before hanging and I eventually keep getting an "Unresponsive Plugin" error for Shockwave Flash on Firefox 28 despite having double checked for the most recent available version of the plugin.  Internet Explorer also gives an "undefined" error when I try to access videos or Flash content as well, leading me to believe it's not just Firefox but a larger issue.
    I am currently using Windows 7 64bit with Firefox 28.0, but the issue happens in the most revent version of Internet Explorer as well.  Can anyone offer some help?
    EDIT: I have updated to Firefox 29, however the issue still persists

    Seeing similar behaviour, there was a suggestion to upgrade the video and audio drivers, but I'm at the latest version.
    Your description is almost identical to my situation.

  • Windows Vista 64 bit/firefox browser -which flash?

    Hi, Can you please tell me what version of flash to install on Windows Vista 64 bit/ firefox browser?..Thanks!

    Well, Firefox doesn't make a 64-bit version, so it won't use any 64-bit plugins, as far as I know.
    Likewise, in IE10 (in Win7 or 8... MS blackmail encouraging you to update), unless you've checked Enable Protected Mode on the Security tab, AND have checked Enable Enhanced Protected Mode way down in the Security section on the Advanced tab (both tabs are in Internet Options), even if you explicitly run the 64-bit iexplore.exe file located in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ subdir, it actually loads a 32-bit tab in the 64-bit window, and any page loaded in that 32-bit tab will use 32-bit plugins and add-ons.  To force it to load 64-bit tabs in the 64-bit window (and ergo use 64-bit plugins and add-ons, such as the 64-bit ActiveX version of FlashPlayer, if available), both of those Protected Mode options must be checked.
    You can confirm that by looking in Task Manager on the Processes tab... without those Protected Mode options checked, you'll see an instance of iexplore.exe (for each 64-bit window) and an instance of iexplore.exe *32 (32-bit) for each tab open; WITH those Protected Mode options checked (then fully close all instances of Internet Explorer - just reboot to make sure), all you'll see is an instance of iexplore.exe for each 64-bit window, plus an instance of iexplore.exe for each tab open... and in that case you shouldn't see *any* instances of iexplore.exe *32 on the Processes tab.

  • Firefox used to work on my windows 8 machine, now it does not, even starting in safe mode and after un/reinstalling. message "firefox has stopped working".

    Firefox used to work fine, then a few days ago it just stopped. When I try to start it, it comes up with a message that "firefox has stopped working". That message comes up over the box that asks if I want to start in safe mode or reset firefox. when i try to close or cancel that message so I can try starting in safe mode, both sets of messages go away.
    if I try to start in safe mode using the shift key, the same thing occurs. The same thing occurred after I uninstalled and reinstalled.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • How do I scan with my hp color laser 2840 using windows 7 64 bit?

    I'm using an HP color laserjet 2840 all in one printer with my hp Pavilion dv7-6163us laptop.  Before I upgraded to this new computer using windows 7 64 bit addition I was able to scan documents with this multifunction machine.  Now with windows 7 I no longer have this functionality.  When I look at HP's help section they tell me that drivers for the 2840 for printing and scanning are built into windows 7.  How do I get my machine to scan a document?

    This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

    Probably should've searched around a bit more. Just saw a similar forum post to my own in which redownloading and burning solved another user's similar issue. As of now I've redownloaded the 64-bit ISO, burned it, and so far so good (at 72% extracting files). I will repost here if it was a success in hopes that other users with a similar issue find this and benefit from it. Hope I didn't just waste anyone's time with a question that had already been answered (haha)
