Viewing chinese sites / fonts with firefox

Hi, I have manged to get firefox working well with Solaris, all the plugins etc working nicely, java, flash and real.
However when I view (or rather my wife) a chinese news site the fonts are not all correct
http://www.singpao.com/
The site is all okay when using mozilla, (on the same system and user) what can I do to correct this? I have no idea where to start looking.
Oh yes, and while I am at it, is there a "rsync" for Solaris? I use it a lot when I use Linux, it's so simple to get backups done to an external usb drive.
Thanks for any tips.

Event Viewer reporting continuous problem with Firefox

I had to disable McAfee Site Advisor because if enabled I could not use the back and forth arrows on the browser in some instances. In trying to track this problem down I discovered there is a continuous problem reported in Event Viewer with this information:
The entry <C:\USERS\CINDY\APPDATA\LOCAL\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES\PV0GC0WS.DEFAULT\CACHE\_CACHE_003_> in the hash map cannot be updated.
Context: Application, SystemIndex Catalog
Details:
A device attached to the system is not functioning. (0x8007001f)
Can anyone please help with this?

The error could be something trivial, it will depend really on what problems you are having, and I note you have made a few other posts.
* One article you may find useful is [[Basic troubleshooting]]
* Also see [[Safe Mode]] & [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
** Note when using safe mode normally do not make changes in the first dialogue Window you see just click on the continue button (Unless you really do want to reset something)
** Also note whilst Safe Mode does disable plugins, it will not always stop all external software interacting with firefox .
A basic principle of troubleshooting is to reduce as many unknown interactions as possible, so in the case of Firefox disabling or removing as many extras as possible.
If you are determined to check what is in the firefox caches then use ''about.cache'' simply type it into the location bar and hit return, it is relatively user friendly and shows masses of info about what is cached, there is also an [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/ add-on cacheviewer] Even without the add-on you may be able to figure out what the item is, and whether or not it is updating.
I do not even use Vista, but presumably an event log entry may not necessarily relate directly to Firefox use.
''"in the hash map cannot be updated.
Context: Application, SystemIndex Catalog "''
I would hazard a guess that the above message may relate to disk indexing; if so it will possibly have nil impact upon Firefox operation.
I do recall problems being mentioned on this forum about Site Advisor and Firefox, and note some versions are on the [https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ blocklist] for Firefox 4. If you have problems with SiteAdvisor it would be worth ensuring you have the very latest compatible release of Site Advisor.

A few days ago Firefox blocked me from getting into my web site on Shuttrerfly.I get a notice from Shutterfly stating they are having a problem.Checked with Shutterfly and they ARE NOT having a problem.I CAN open my site via Internet Explorer and it works fine.Up ro a few days ago Firefox was working fine with my site.It is just my site that has a problem with Firefox as e-mail and the rest works fine.I deleted Firefox and re-downloaded it but that did not help.Clerared all cookies and no help.Why can I open Shutterfly with Internet Explorer and Can not with Firefox?..My main e-mail address is [email protected] help there also.

Hi,
It seems that some faults has occurred during
the synchronization. You should re-set your
internet settings. If the issue persists your
phone will need reformat.

I recently opened an email with some sort of virus and now I cannot forward, reply, send emails or view you tubes only with firefox. Can you help?

I recently viewed an email and received some sort of virus. Only in the email address where I view in infected email and only when using Firefox do I have a problem. When using the email address I can no longer send emails, reply to emails or forward emails. I can no longer view You Tubes when using FirefoxI. I can send emails, reply, and forward emails and view You Tubes when using internet explorer. I do not have this problem when using another computer. I only have the problem described when using Firefox with the computer which was infected. I prefer Firefox so can you please guide me in a direction to address the problem.
Phil

thx for your response. are saying websites such as hotmail and yahoo mail detect that they are being accessed via firefox and turn off the JavaScript that makes hot links? really? additionally, i have friends with firefox in which hyperlinks stay active when they are copied and pasted.
was the "Make Link" add-on you posted supposed to fix the problem? i downloaded it, but i don't know where the "context menu" is that is supposed to help me. how to i view this context window now that i have downloaded the add-on?

Why doesn't "My Tom Tom" (GPS site) work with Firefox? I can only seem to get updates via IE.

When I initially activated my Tom Tom GPS (Jan 2012) I did not have a problem using Firefox. About 4-6 weeks ago I attempted to update the device and "My Tom Tom" would not run with Firefox. After literally hours of trying to get it to work, I tried Internet Explorer and the updates ran without a hitch. Today I had the same problem and after a few unsuccessful attempts to use Firefox, switched to IE and had no problems. I am not sure, but I think I updated my Tom Tom device at least once via Firefox and believe the problem developed sometime after April 2012

It is most likely because you are running a very out of date version of Firefox. I have a TomTom, and it works fine with Firefox 15.0.1. Try to update to that then try again.

Safari won't display my site, works with Firefox

Hi
For some reason safari does not load my website. It shows an entirely white page with nothing on it. However the site has no problems being viewed by Firefox and IExplorer in both Mac and PC systems.
Please take a look - http://www.ladyofmann.com this page loads and when you click on "gallery" link the page opens with nothing on it.
The pages is all simple HTML
Thank you

ooh it's not quite simple I reckon....
a whole lotta errors ( see here )
& a quick fiddle with the page code shows that safari renders the page ok'ish ( hmm, no slideshow tho' ) if the
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
</style>
near the beginning is removed, dunno why yet, it's 1/4 past midnight & wine clouds my mind , but I suspect it's just err rubbish xhtml & fixing the errors and/or using html ( & relevant doctypes etc etc )if that's easier, will sort it out. Safari tends to be unforgiving of code errors, see?

Can't print from some sites visited with Firefox, but can print from same sites visited from IE.

From IE I can print emails from my Google email but not from Firefox. For some reason Firefox keeps changing my print settings and that prevents printing unless I manually change them back. Also I have had trouble printing from dailysudoku.com. I am running Windows 7 Home Edition on an HP laptop. I tried uninstalling Firefox and then reinstalling, but that didn't solve the problem.

No. This didn't work. And when I went to about:config I received a warning message that I might void the warranty if went there. And I should go there only if I knew what I was doing. If followed the instructions very carefully and reset the print settings as you suggested. I also got the following message:
Some users may need to reset all the print.printer preferences for a particular printer, if resetting this one master preference doesn't solve the problem.
Will I need to try to reset some of the other print.printer preferences besides print.printer_print? I'm a little nervous about doing something that could void my warranty if I don't know exactly what I'm doing.

Flash not working with Firefox

I have a site built using Dreamweaver and FD24 extensions for the Flash elements.
http://www.amesis.co.uk/redcard/
Until yesterday everything was fine. Still ok with IE ver 8.0.6001 and both Vista and XP operating systems
Flash ver 10.0.45.2 installed
However my client cannot see any of the flash images in the header and on the leisure page gallery (just a white box). The front side panel works ok on the home page
He is using Firefox. again ok yesterday. He has tried to reinstall the latest version of flash and received installation successful message.
Using the same PC's he can see if switches to IE
Would appreciate any help in getting this sorted nad what advice I can give him. It is essential that the site works with Firefox so need to resolve.
Thanks in anticipation
Ken

Hi ken, If I understand your post, you are wanting help for the Firefox user. And he has installed Flash Player using the FF
browser.
The first thing would be to (using FF), go to plug-ins and find the SWF plug-in, made sure it is vs 10.0.45.2 and is enabled.
And be sure there is only one listing of the SWF. If there is another listing, it needs removed/deleted.
Also, he can go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Find the Flash folder and post back all files listed there.
If he has installed Flash Player in IE, those files will be there also and the version numbers will be evident. However,
the files for FF will not be. The FF files are NPSWF32.dll and NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe. Right click on each and then click on
Properties to find the version numbers, which I need.
This is the best way to determine if the Flash Player files that are installed are correct and the FF plug-in is correct.
The IE equivalent to the FF plug-in is in the IE manage add ons and is listed as Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control..
Flash10e.ocx and must be enabled also.
Please let me know if I have not understood your post.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Site can't be viewed with IE, works with Firefox and Chrome

I have a family site that works fine with Firefox and Chrome, but with when we created a new page and uploaded it, it can't be viewed with IE.
http://www.thetravelintexans.com/states.htm was modified to add the very last picture in the last row, it was uploaded and works fine.
If you click on the last picture Andrew at Disney, it takes you to this page http://www.thetravelintexans.com/AndrewsDisney.htm . This page acts like it is loading in IE, but quickly says Done at the bottom of the screen, but it is blank. The source code can be viewed, but no detail of page at all. Again, it works fine with Firefox and Chrome.
I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
Thanks for any hints.
Fred Blair

IE does get a bit anxious when it does not have DOCTYPE to work to. It tends to fall back into a quirks mode and behave irrationally. Makes me think of myself when I do not have goalposts to aim for.
Solution, merely give your pages a valid DOCTYPE and all is well. For more info see here http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetravelintexans.com%2FAndre wDisney.htm

Firefox 5 some web sites fonts are not work.

I try to visit this sinhala language web site using Firefox 5 latest version. Then that site not properly display (Fonts are not work). Then i again downloaded that web site fonts and install them. But again that web site not properly display.
If i visit that web site using "Google Chrome" or "IE" i can view that web site properly. This problem only happen for Firefox 5. Older version Firefox 4 work properly with this site.
This is that web site fonts download link -http://www.lankaenews.com/font/sinhala_tamil_fonts.zip

You can set the pref gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled to false on the about:config page to disable downloadable fonts and make Firefox use a locally installed font.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Viewing PDF files in-browser with Firefox (17.0 as of this writing) on a Mac

Hello there,
since I don't remember when there has been a problem with the Adobe Reader NPAPI plug-in and Firefox. Previously, with earlier versions of Firefox and with Adobe Reader 10.x the problem was that the plug-in wasn't working properly and one got a blank page without any explanation. This led to Firefox black-listing the Adobe Reader NPAPI plug-in and having it disabled by default, if I remember correctly. Now it seems we've got the situation reversed, as if Adobe has black-listed Firefox as a browser, because when I try viewing a PDF file in-browser with the most up-to-date versions (17 and 11 for Firefox and Reader respectively), I'm getting the following error:
Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser.
We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration.
Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.
To avoid this message in the future, many browsers provide a way to turn off certain add-ons, and some are able to show this document natively.
Please contact your browser vendor for more details.
All's well that ends well, but unfortunately we haven't seen any solution so far. With Safari 6.x the plug-in is working fine. With Firefox it isn't. Let's see what can be done: in its last sentence the error message recommends that I contact my browser vendor for more details. The wording of the first two sentences however suggests otherwise: "Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser. Adobe reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration." Thus, my question is
What is it in this browser and/or browser configuration that doesn't suit the Adobe Reader plug-in? Is it only this newest Firefox version (17) that isn't supported or is it the Firefox browser and why? Should I be able to spoof Firefox' identity and make it seem like Safari to the plug-in, what's going to happen?

Very frustrating, but I found the fix (on another site - can't believe with 360 views, no one here knew). In Firefox, PDFs are automatically set to open with the faulty Adobe plug-in. To change it to open with Adobe Reader, check out the instructions here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pdf-files-are-blank-and-cant-be-downloaded-mac#os=mac &browser=fx16
Super easy!

In IE if I set the zoom at lets say 150% it will stay that way even if I shut down. But with firefox, it goes back to small print every time I view a new page. Is there a way to set the zoom to stay at a larger size? Thanks, EH

If you need to adjust the font size on websites then look at:
* Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
* NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

Created site in IWEB 08, works on Safari but looks different with Firefox?

I created a site with Iweb 08. I used Safari as the viewing browser and was happy with how the site looked. I then used Fetch to FTP the folder to the web server. When viewing the page on the server with Safari it was great, but when viewed with Firefox it was all frigged up. I didn't try it with Internet Destroyer cause personally I don't like it. I then published the page folder to Web.Mac.Com. The site works great on both browsers when accessed through web.mac.com. Is there something missing when accessing the site on my original server? My thought now is to remove the site from the original server and just bite the bullet and fly it on web.mac.com. Appreciate any thoughts

I think part of my problem was trying to move content made with Dream Weaver into IWEB. My site was made with Dream weaver originally. I pasted it into IWEB, thinking it was possible to do. It was to a point. I had to redo all my links and buttons and so on, but the pictures and text content seemed to look fine. After somewhat completing the site I published to a folder and used Fetch FTP to move the site to the server I was using. That is when i got the different looks in different browsers. I then published to the .mac server as I had a 60 day free trial. Low and behold the site looked good on the 2 browsers I have on my new IMAC. I switched over to the Windows side of the IMAC and logged into the site with IE 7. It looked good there too. So I ended up going with the .mac account to host the site
www.unitedpuett.com. I then had to redirect from Network Solutions, my registrar for the site, so when the address was typed in it would direct to the .mac server. This was another chore but was solved easily by
http://networkcreators.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=492224%3ABlogPost%3A50148
It all seems to work as it should.
On another note, i read that Microsoft was releasing IE 8 beta. The big change was they were finally standardizing their browser to match all the others when opening pages.
