Websites can't detect my browser. How can I correct this? (ff 7.0.1)

A couple days ago I noticed that websites aren't able to determine which browser (or version) I'm using. For example, I went to Google's WhatBrowser.com, to see how it recognized my browser. The result?
"You are using:
Sorry, we couldn’t recognize your browser. The What Browser team has been notified."
I saw this old question ([https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/881804?s=sites+can%27t+recognize+browser&r=4&as=s old question]) from the Firefox support forums, and so I did what one user suggested. I went to "about:config", filtered for "general.useragent" and I reset the line that had been changed by one of my extensions. Still, the problem persists.
'''What can I do?''' short of uninstalling and reinstalling?

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check
* getfirefox.com

I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade. I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5. On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?

When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?
For instance I view an apartment ad which has various pictures attached. It says click on the pictures to see an enlarged version. FF opens the page however most of the page is blank and the picture appears to be pushed to the right side of the page and shows as if it has been scrunched agains the right side not showing the whole picture.
What Can I do to correct this?

I see that you have increased some font sizes considerably.
* font.size.fixed.x-western: 20
* font.size.variable.x-western: 22
This can effect margins when the website specifies these as em values and cause content to shift.
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
* Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
*Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete this user.js and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

I can not login to a certain account due to an error stating cookie not enabled, however my 3rd party cookies are enabled. How do I correct this?

I can not login to a certain account due to an error stating cookie not enabled, however my 3rd party cookies are enabled. How do I correct this?

COOKIE_DOMAIN=.hackers
I think this is the problem. .hackers is no valid cookie domain. You have to use something like:
.xy.ab
(two points)
I fear it is not possible to correct this easiely. First change the hostname to something allowed e.g. hackers.com
Then open an ldap browser and edit ou=iplanetamplatformservice,ou=services,dc=hackers
There is an entry with an xml. Copy the xml to an editor, search for .hackers, change it to a valid domainname.
Im not sure if a restart of the webserver is necessary here.
Another idea: You could also try to set the cookie domain to solnce.hackers, maybe this is accepted, even if it is not a cookie domain. But I dont know if this works...

The print is too small on various web sites that I open. How can I correct this?

The print is too small on various web sites that I open. This has never happened on older Firefox versions. How can I correct this so every page I open, the print size is consistent and legible? I don't want to change it every time I open a new site.

Hi Donna,
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Font Size and the scale (size) at which a document is printed is controlled within the application just before the job is sent to the printer - this means the size is set from your browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer) or perhaps your Editor (Word). Generally speaking, most applications use Print Preview -- or a variation of that program under a different name.
An explanation and the use of Print Preview is avialble in the following document:

I need to download Adobe Macromedia Flash and Adobe won't let me download it until i get a 32 bit version of Firefox. Where on the website can I find this version?

I'm using Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.6 as a browser. I need to dowload some Adobe software like Flash and i can't do it because this version of firefox is a 64 bit app. I need a 32 bit FF app/where on the website can i dowload this?
Thanks
Tim

You already have Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152 installed for Firefox on the PC you used to post here, see your ''More system details...'' next to your posting.
There are no 64-bit builds of Firefox made, only 32-bit currently. There are some 3rd party builds floating around out there, but Mozilla doesn't allow them to be named Firefox - they would be called Namoroka for 3.6 versions. Mozilla does have a Minefield 64-bit build for 4.0-pre versions, but it won't be available as Firefox until probably Firefox 5 is released.
If your situation is with a different PC than what you used to post here: 
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Sometimes there's a hiccup in the router and resetting the router like diavonex staes will solve the problem.
Sometimes though, the website you are trying to visit has an internal problem with its server. In that case you can only wait until they fox it.
If other websites load properly and only one is having a problem then most likely the problem lies in the web server of the site you are trying to visit.

In yahoo, videos have no sound. How can I correct this?

I assume that the videos play and that only the sound isn't present, is that correct?
Did you check the volume icon on the Windows Task bar?
You can also check for problems with Flash local storage (some sites store the sound level in a Flash cookie).

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

When I download a CD to iTunes, some CD's appear as separate albums. How can I correct this?

When I download a CD to iTunes, some CD's appear as separate albums. How can I correct this?
for some reason iTunes appears to believe some tracts are from a separate album. For instance, one recently released Rod Stewart CD HAS 8 tracts on one album and the remaining two tracts on two separate albums, all albums are called the correct album name?

If your CD has tracks with different artists, or if there are differences in how the artist field is filled in for the different tracks, then you can fix this by identifying the disc as a 'compilation' CD.
Select all of the tracks in the CD, then 'get info' (control-I), and go to 'Options'. Select 'yes' for 'Part of a compilation'. That should fix the problem.

My husband and I both have an i phone. When I send him a message it also sends it back to my phone. The same happens when he messages me. His messages are also picked up on my i pad.How can we correct this?

Are you both using the same Apple ID?

Do the same on his phone (de-select yours)

My iPhone 4s will not back-up because it is over capacity due to a lg. amt. of "other" data. I don't have a lot of other data however. How can I correct this?

My iPhone 4S will not do a back-up because it is over it's capacity due to an excessive amount of "other" data. However I actually have very little other data. How can I correct this. As it is now I can't even take a picture! Thanks!

Create a manual backup in iTunes, then restore it, restoring to your iTunes backup at the end. This will usually correct this. If it doesn't, then the problem is contained in the backup and you'll have to save as much of your data as you can, then restore it as new without using your backupo.

I've recently installed IOS 7.0.3. on my Ipad4. With the latest automatic upgrade of First Class yesterday the textfields for loggning in disappears upworth. How can I correct this.

HALF-SOLUTION!!!! (Restoring only, basically.)
Restore the phone via iCloud.com
1. Go to iCloud.com , and log in.
2. If you want a back up, make sure you back it up to itunes now!
3. Now back to iCloud.com - select the device you want. Press "Erase iPhone" (or iPad, iPod whatever).
You will go through a few steps. Skip the phone number and leave a message, as it isn't lost. Your phone will be restored. No need for plugging in!
4. IMPORTANT: Just set it up as usual. Language, country blah. But then you'll get to a step where it says something like "This iPhone was erased with iCloud. Log in with the Apple ID you used to erase it". In this case, my Dad's. So please do that. Later on, the phone will ask for an Apple ID to be used for the phone. I put my own one as I didn't want my dads!!!! Lol....
5. Plug into iTunes and back-up.
As for updating, I'm still on 7.0.2,,, it ain't working on my phone or itunes!! :(

Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

Over half my albums in iPhoto won't display the enlarged photo. How can I correct this?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
