The catalog of our University will not pull up properly on Firefox but will on internet exployer Why?

The #rdn# is a url variable that is pass to this form from
another page. I put it in a hidden filed and originallly used it as
from.rdn. That did not make a difference, so I just used rdn.
The cfoutput to display the rdn, partnumberid,
deliverynumber, totalrows, and row, all display properly. I even
use those in the query anlayzer and the update works.
I will remove the crparam and see if that makes any
difference. This is very frustrating since there are no error
messages and I am led to believe the code works.

what's wrong with the activation server? i just bought my ipad wifi celllular... and have a 3g cellular network connection... when i press the bottom to activate my ipad it says the activation server cannot be reached. what to do then?

Hey aries35,
I found the following that goes over troubleshooting the same issue for the iPhone. I know you have an iPad, but the steps should still apply:
Perform the following steps:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

Try to rename the cert8.db file (cert8.db.old) and delete the cert_override.txt file in the Firefox profile folder to remove intermediate certificates and exceptions that Firefox has stored.
If that has helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file.
Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previously stored intermediate certificates.
Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can check the connection settings.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

My Firefox would not connect to Internet--had to use IE explorer to get on Internet. What's wrong with Firefox?

I have downloaded Firefox again--Firefox Setup Stub 26.0 and tried to install but received message that I had to close Firefox first. I did not have Firefox open. When I do try to open it Firefox appears on my desktop monitor but it will not do anything after that. I can't even close it and have to go into my task manager to get it to close. Thanks be to God I didn't uninstall IE because that is what I have to use now to get on the Internet. Is there any solution to this problem I am having? This happens to me quite often and I have been considering returning to IE as my browser instead of continuing with Firefox.

Sometimes Firefox will hang during startup or shutdown, and still be running invisibly in the background. Usually in that case, you need to "kill" it either by restarting Windows or using the Windows Task Manager. It sounds as though you are familiar with opening the Processes tab, finding firefox.exe, and using End Process.
If you use an advanced firewall or other security software that tracks which programs are permitted to use the internet, please see these articles:
* [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]
* [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]]
A couple of other suggestions:
(1) Can you start Firefox in its Safe Mode? Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. You should get a two-button dialog. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset). Any difference?
(2) In case your regular software missed something that is interfering with Firefox, try the scanning and clean-up tools listed in this article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

Not only does Adobe flashplayer continue to crash on my operating system (windows 7) but now java script is having issues .... what is wrong with firefox????

for months I have checked the forums, and seen the same issues with Adobe Flash Player ... I have uninstalled and reinstalled too many times now and am totally frustrated with Firefox,. I just get it working again and Firefox updates and then I have the same issues ... and now my java script is screwing up and it never did before .... this all came after the latest update .... is anyone else having these issues or is my operating system under attack???

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

What's wrong with my 32MB iPod Touch 4G? Syncing music is too slow.

I just bought a 32 MB iPod Touch 4G, and syncing my music to it is so slow, it's just unacceptable! Is something wrong with it?

You mean 32gb and yes I have the same problem. Its very lame!
Not only the synchring, my whole ipod is slow as ****. Lagging all the time, apps crashing etc.

Facebook has not been loading properly for me since Feb. 22/14. Can you please check what is wrong with Firefox. The web-site Facebook works fine on Safari.

I've had issues with Facebook not loading certain areas of the web-site correctly or fully since Feb. 22. When I first go onto Facebook I am on the home page "news feed". Thing is when I click on the tab at the bottom of the news feed that says "see more", nothing is happening. It refuses to open the feed up to older posts which friends or myself have posted. Only about 6 - 8 posts at the max show on that home feed. That's it.
My other issue, also in Facebook is when I go to access my "messages". First click on the tab "messages" brings up a white page. Then if I refresh the page to see if it will load, the messages page loads very weird. It shows the last message I may have replied to at the bottom of the screen, but over lapping on top of the list of previous messages to the left of the page. Plus the page appears extremely different than it should. Just like it's been re-formatted or whatever.
Since these 2 issues started on Saturday afternoon I've switched over to the Safari browser on my iMac. On that browser Facebook is performing properly, as it should be. It's not overlapping messages. Plus the home feed isn't refusing to extend for me so that I may view older stories or posts by friends. All appears fine while accessing Facebook on the Safari browser. Not so while on Firefox. I am running the most up to date version of Firefox. "27.0.1" Plus I have a habit to clear the browser's history daily & restarting the browser as well as my iMac. So I do not believe those are my problems. I feel there may be something you guys there at Firefox should look into on this.
Thank you for your time.

What is wrong with Firefox 3.1 Beta 2?

I am denied to use buzzword because my browser is not
suppored, you say. You support 3.0, why not 3.1 Beta 2?

Hello guemro,
We too, at Acrobat.com, are still in beta as well, and aren't
able at the current time to test and support all of acrobat.com's
services against more beta versions of browsers as they come out,
otherwise we'd not have much time to work on Acrobat.com's other
necessary improvements and updates that are in the works!
More browser support is planned in the future, but for now we
are doing what we can. Stick around.
Here is a list of officially supported browsers with
Acrobat.com.

Thanks!

Whenever firefox is opened, it freezes. This has occurred after I updated adobe reader recently. What's wrong with firefox and what can I do?

Recently firefox will open but then freeze immediatly. This has occurred after I updated adobe reader. I'm not sure if that affected firefox, but the time period fits. Restarting my computer has no effect on firefox.

Have you tried a Reset...
Turn the iPod Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the iPod On...
If that does not help... See Here:
