When using Firefox as my browser, why am I unable to print web page content?

I can print just fine when I use internet explorer as my browser, so I know the printer is working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my printer software, updated Mozilla, and Adobe. When I am using firefox, the printer will only print the web address at the top right corner, and the date , time and page number at the bottom. What do I do next?

see -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application
which explains how to completely exit (quit) your Mozilla application
Try closing Firefox completely
*Close Firefox properly '''File > Exit''', not with the "X" which just closes the window.
*Use the Windows Task Manager "Processes" tab to make sure that firefox.exe is not running and also that the plugin-container.exe is not running.
If that does not work, try restarting the system.
If still no luck try restoring bookmarks from last backup, or better create your own .json backup and restore from that.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox#Creating_bookmark_backups
*''If you had to go this far, please provide feedback if restoring bookmarks alone fixed the problem. I think I may have done that once with success, but never see that suggested -- I'd try most anything to not lose history or bookmarks. But then I could restore files from my profile and restore latest bookmarks backup from current profile.''
The following will result in complete loss of history if it comes down to deleting places.sqlite, so rename files rather than deleting. With Firefox down.
Of course you have backups of your profile you could replace rename and
replace those files instead.

Frequently, when using firefox, it stops browsing. It will say in the progress bar on the left "Stopped" and I can't browse. What is the problem?

I cannot access my Yahoo email when using firefox as my browser

I cannot get to my yahoo e-mail account when using firefox as my web browser. When I log into my yahoo mail a page comes up and tells it it cannot find the page.

Im having the same issue! If you get a response let me know! [email protected] (since my **** yahoo account isnt working

I am using Firefox 11 and I am unable to print web pages. I can print PDFs ok. I tried to open the prefs.js file to delete anything that starts with print and I get an error message.

I cannot print web pages. I've tried the solutions suggested like deleting anything that starts with print in the prefs.js file but I get an error message: Script: c:\users\rick\appdata\roading\mozilla\firefox\profiles\iviwh5c1.default\prefs.js
line: 1
Char: 1
Error: invalid character
code: 800A03F6
Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error

When editing '''prefs.js''' you need to use a simple text editor program. WinXP Notepad messes up the line formatting of prefs.js, so I use Wordpad - but you need to save the edited file in a Text-Only format (Wordpad asks about that when you go to save the edited file). I never used Win7, so I don't know if that version of Notepad messes with the line formatting of prefs.js or not.
Another thing - make sure '''''"Hide extensions for known file types"''''' is de-delected in Windows file / folder options > view -> advanced settings. Otherwise Windows may add a .txt file extension that you won't be able to see, and that will break that file in Firefox. '''prefs.js.txt''' won't be recognized by Firefox, when is expecting to find '''''prefs.js''''' .

I need to be able to copy text of a Gmail email I have sent and paste it in a new email when using firefox as my browser

hi everyone
I recently upgraded to the new firefox version. When using the previous version. i would copy text in emails I had sent and paste it into new emails. It saved me much time>
I am totally unable to do this with the newer version of the browser. There is no edit function on the tool bar that allows me to copy and paste.
any suggestions as to how I can cut and paste or save documents to use over again?
thanks

Hi, I had the same issue. My solution was to take the freeware-tool clickto.
So I'm now able to take any text, copy it and past it via clickto into a new mail.
[http://www.clicktoapp.com Clickto ]expands your copy-paste feature by showing you some "satellites" after doing the copy action. These "satellites" now will give you some opportunities to paste your copied content, for example a picture to facebook or a text to a new mail on gmail with just 1 single click.

When using OS X yosemite 10.10.2 trying to access a web page I get sever error 403

When using OS X yosemite 10.10.2 and trying to access a web site I get the message server error 403 only with one site (loan application)

Web server error 403 = Forbidden - It's nothing to do with Yosemite nor Safari. The web server may be having a problem. Usually it's a permissions issue on the server side. But one thing that can happen is that you have a bookmark that is pointing somewhere that is not allowed. Try navigating to the page from the root of the server. You might have to start at an earlier authentication page then navigate to the "loan application" page. It's possible you bookmarked a page that requires authentication and the web server loan application software was not written in a friendly manner to redirect you back to a login page. Also try clearing your cache and cookies. Safari menu -> Clear History and Website Data. You might have an old cookie that needs to be deleted.

When using Firefox for my browser, I am getting an alert at the bottom left of the screen indicating that "Gooogle-Analytics" is being accessed. All pages will not load. Help!

Initially, I did not have this problem with Firefox but it flipped on and is now constant.

-> [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
-> Clear Cookies & Cache
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache
-> [[How to clear the cache#w_clear-the-cache|Clear the Network Cache]]
Also try the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]
* [[Firefox never finishes loading certain websites#w_lower-the-max-number-of-http-connections|Lower the max number of HTTP connections]]
Check and tell if its working.

When using Firefox for the 1st time, I was unable to save or edit bookmarks. I fixed this but now the icon for the bookmark is a blank dotted square. How do I fix this?

I deleted the "places.sqlite" and "localstore" files as instructed in the support FAQ section, and now i can save bookmarks, but in the Bookmarks toolbar and drop down menu, the only bookmark that has an icon(picture) next to the name of the bookmark is one that I use the IE Tab extension for due to incompatibility of that website with Firefox. This one does have an Internet Explorer Icon. The rest are just a blank dotted square where the icon should be. I downloaded Firefox 8 first and was having this problem, so I tried Aurora, which I am using now but got the same problem. The below support instructions solved the problem of not being able to save Bookmarks, but now I am having the icon issue.

When using Firefox -loging to Yahoo mail - see account but then get error page says i have lower resolution than 1024xx600- have new computer and set at 1600x900, cleared out past history etc but does the same - can log in w/chrome but not firefox

I don't know what else to say

That can happen if you zoom Yahoo mail websites. 
Yahoo uses a script to check the screen dimensions and zooming a page affects the window and screen width and height settings.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

I am unable to print web site info from Firefox. Other prt'g works ok.

I am unable to print web page info in firefox. Other printing works normally (i.e., from word processors, notepad, etc.).
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure

Unable to print web site info from Firefox to HP 2600. Printer icon appears but nothing prints. Printer has worked previously with Firefox. Still works for Office documents, etc. so computer is communicating with printer, but not from Firefox.

Why cant I open any messages or emails from my Hotmail account when using Firefox browser but works fine using IE browser

When I open my Hotmail account while using Firefox as my browser I am unable to open any email in both Inbox and Junk. I can reload either one and it will sometimes work for a short time. However if I switch to Internet Explorer browser it all works great.

Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

Why is Windows 7 freezing when using Firefox?

-Has been happening for months now with many attempts to pinpoint cause. Have come to the conclusion that it is Firefox but don't understand why.
-When using Firefox, my entire PC, not just Firefox, will freeze. Sometimes it happens within the first 5min of using Firefox, other times it could happen an hour into a session. A hard restart is the only way to get back to my desktop as I have waited an hour before after a freeze and nothing happens. Mouse pointer won't move, nothing.
-Initially thought it was a hardware issue or an anti-virus issue.
-Reinstalled windows on three different hard drives that all pass the disk check. Still happens
-Installed windows 8 to see if that would fix the problem. Nope, does the same thing on Windows 8.
-Ran Memtest 86+ for 14 hours one night to see if it was my memory. Nope, zero memory errors found
-To be sure I even tried only using one stick of ram in my PC at a time to see if any of the sticks were bad. Nope, it froze with every stick
-Tried changing my anti-virus. It froze with every single one, AVG Free, Avast Free, Microsoft Security Essentials.
-I figured out that my PC only freezes when I am browsing the web in firefox. If I use chrome or Internet explorer, it doesn't happen. These total PC freezes only happen when I am using firefox.
-My only add on/plug in that I am using is Adblock plus besides the default ones that come with Firefox.
-My firefox is up to date, I have reset it and reinstalled it [while only adding Ad Block +] and this still does not fix the problem
-In the windows event log the only thing that happens every time my PC freezes is the Error "Session "Microsoft Security Client OOBE" stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D", why this would only affect Firefox, I don't know.
-I would like to figure out the cause of this because I would really like to use Firefox again.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Why wont Youtube videos load when using Firefox 3.6.3?

I've been having issues with youtube when using firefox, the video doesnt load or show up for that matter its just a black screen where the video should be and on the bottom left hand corner of Mozzilla it says "done" I've tried everything, I updated java and flash but nothing seems to work. What can I do? I know I can use other web browsers but I really want to fix this
== URL of affected sites ==
www.youtube.com

There are a few reasons why youtube might be broken:
* An extension may be causing the problem: try the steps at [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* ''Bad item stored in the Browser Cache'': Follow the steps at [[How to clear the cache]].
* Firewall software is blocking some resources on the page: see [[Firewalls]]
If none of this works, let me know if Flash video from other sites work. Here are a few you can try:
