Web sites containing mms links work in IE but not Firefox 4.0

Web sites containing mms links work in IE but not Firefox 4.0. when I play the video in IE, I go into IE, and locate the mms link under properties, when I right click. If I copy the mms link form IE directly into firefox, it will work. There ought to be a better way to do this. Also, I am using a hardware firewall, not a software firewall, and no proxy.

You need to use the file:// protocol, but you may still encounter problems if you fix that.

  • Links working in Safari but not Firefox

    Hi friends,
    I'm hoping someone can help this confused amateur (aka me) get my website to work correctly. The site works fine in Safari -- but in Firefox, the internal links do not work (external links are OK). I suspect it has something to do with defining the pathways within the directory, but beyond that I'm lost.
    Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm pretty sure it's a simple fix for someone who know what they're doing
    Here's the site: www.thefourglobaltruths.com
    The problematic links are under the banner, specifically "about the author," "links," "schedule," and "interviews."
    BTW, I'm using a Macbook Pro, 10.6.8, and CS5...if any of that matters.
    Many thanks in advance!

    Is this website around 10+ years old?
    It contains ancient, invalid code long past due for an update. It's a bit of a time machine.
    Have you heard of validating code? It's a quick and easy method of checking if your code can be read properly by a browser.
    If you put the address of the author page into http://validator.w3.org/
    You will get 26 errors
    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thefourglobaltruths.com%2Fauthor.html&c harset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

  • Madison Square Garden web site opens but when I click on view all concerts tab at the MSG site it does not open. It works with AOL but not Firefox

    I go to '''www.thegarden.com''' I click on the tab '''View Full Calendar'''. It does not open. It works on AOL but not Firefox. And for some reason it also does not work when I use Internet Explorer. The majority of times when I click on that tab (in Firefox) it does not work. On a rare occasion it will open. I am not doing anything differently either time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Link works on mac but not on pc

    Hi -
    I am trying to insert a jpg into a dreamweaver file.
    I then upload the html file along with the jpg to my server in a folder called "layout"
    So the url is:  http://www.mysite.com/layout/test.html
    The link works on mac, but not on pc's.
    Any idea why?
    Some links work on pc's like this, and others don't.
    Thanks- It's driving me crazy!!

    The link is not correct....you have it listed as" mysite.com", which I assume is where you are to insert the name of your url.

  • When I loginto a certain web site it just keeps going back to the login page. It works on IE but not Firefox. There is some setting I must have that is stopping the logon.

    their login page does not recognize my entry. Just keeps going back to page and says logon. It does work on Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

  • Spry menubar works in IE, but not Firefox

    I added a very simple Spry horizontal menubar to the top of all pages in my web (I'm using DWCS4 and Spry 1.6). When I preview it in Firefox locally, it seems to work, but when it is uploaded to the web server it works in IE, but not in Firefox. Instead of a menubar, I see a stack of bulleted hyperlinks. In IE, it displays properly.
    Website is http://www.stevegoldman.com.
    How can I fix this problem so that it works with all browsers properly?
    -- Martin

    I just tested your site with firefox (latest version) and it works just fine. I also tested it in IE: 7.0 and it worked fine for that too. Looks like you have either fixed the problem or you have a different version of firefox than me or something.

  • Navigation works in IE but not Firefox or Safari!

    Hi guys
    Why do my nav links on the hompage work in IE but not in Firefox and Safari? http://www.jasonkieck.com/
    Any help would be appreciated

    The main reason is you have a <div id="bg_grid"> at the end of your html that is essentially over the top of everything else on your page, including your links. All clicks go to that <div> rather than your links undeneath it. I'm kind of surprised it works in IE to be honest.
    You do also have a ton of errors as Gramps points out, but that particular issue is not technically an error, so I have a feeling you could fix the ~100 problems shown by the validator and still have the issue.
    You could use z-index to "order the stack" as it were. Changing the z-index attributes for the css of those elements will allow you to change their order, regardless of their location in the html. A higher z-index number, the "closer" it is to the viewer (higher on the stack).
    Right now, they are both set to 1, so the one that comes later in the html is on top.
    Adding z-index:999 to the menu <div>  should do it,

  • My website works in IE but not firefox

    this is my web page:
    http://www.andrew-leonard.co.uk/Mallorca/mallorca%20ferns.htm
    It usess css to define layers and javascript to show and hide the layers. It uses a dhtml menu system by Milonic to execute the javascript
    This is part of the code for the layers:
    <pre><nowiki><style type="text/css">
    #Layer01 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:1;}
    #Layer33 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:33;}
    </style></nowiki></pre>
    This is part of the javascript to show/hide the layers:
    <pre><nowiki><script>
    function showlayer(layer){
    var myLayer = document.getElementById(layer).style.display;
    if(myLayer=="none"){
    document.getElementById(layer).style.display="block";
    } else {
    document.getElementById(layer).style.display="none";
    </script></nowiki></pre>
    It works OK in IE but not firefox

    If you check Firefox's Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K) it'll tell you any errors it's finding and the line of code it's finding it on.
    The problem it seems to be having up front is that IDs are case-sensitive - "layer02" is not the same as "Layer02", for example.
    There may be further errors once it's past that, but all the current browsers come with the tools you need to weed out any further issues.

  • Works in IE but not FireFox?

    site is here
    http://carolyoungs.myartsonline.com/
    when i hosted it on a different server it worked in both browsers, now i changed to a different free host because of the mp3 file i have with the site, and some sites will not host mp3 and it only works with IE
    can anyone help me out?

    If it works in IE but not FF, then it has nothing to do with the mp3s. More likely it's because of the HTML on the page.
    To start, page is missing DOCTYPE declaration... a MAJOR problem. The DOCTYPE declares which set of rules the browser will use to display the page. Without it, different browsers go crazy or do not work at all.

    Validate the html code here:

    You will have to fix all the errors if you want this to work in all browsers.

  • Medical app from Intuit works in IE, but not Firefox.

    Encrypted medical app works in new IE, but not Firefox. Everything works down to the end, and click on "continue" and nothing happens. A tech and I have spent hours on this. Did not work on FF5 or 6. Did not work on old IE, but did on fresh new version with no data files copied in.

  • Web graphic links work on Mac, but not PC

    I have two websites. The old one is DogToysAndTreats.com. The new one is FunStuffForDogs.com. I need to change the home page graphic on both of them to point to my shopping cart pages. I have done this and published the changes on both sites. It works on my Mac but not on my PC.
    On www.funstufffordogs.com, the graphic at the top with the bulldogs is supposed to link to http://store.funstufffordogs.com/storefront.aspx. Same thing on www.dogtoysandtreats.com. It works on my Mac in both Safari and Chrome. On my PC, it doesn't work on IE, Safari or Firefox. (BTW, I haven't worked on any of the other links until I can figure out how to do it properly.)
    I don't get why the platform has anything to do with it.

    Looking at your source, the problem may be that the images refer to an external server link from the one actually hosting the website page.  Whenever you try to mix servers on a single page, you depend on the network connectivity being reliable to all the servers simultaneously.  This can be as much a problem on a Mac as a PC.  Sometimes routers have bad router tables, or internet providers do, and this can cause issues for multiserver websites.  Using on your router & network settings an OpenDNS DNS server can help:

  • Links work in iWeb but not on web

    I created a site (http://www.busybeetrader.com) in iWeb 1.2.2 and uploaded using Cyberduck FTP software. The links work in iWeb when I un-check the option to make them inactive. Once I upload my site, several of the links don't work. This has occurred multiple times.
    I am also having problems with missing links to files. I open iWeb and get an error list of missing links. It includes pictures and PDF documents, mostly under the blog sections (Editorials).
    Any help any one can give me would be appreciated. Thanks!
