Which is better chrome or firefox?

Web site 'Quibids" wants browser firefox or chrome. any thoughts?

Speed, performance, and feature wise, Firefox and Chrome are pretty equal (a few Ms off here and there for speed, a few rarely used Web standards, and different implementations of features are minor quibbling points).
Where the differences are is the orgs behind the products.
Google: For-profit organization that has been shown in the past not to respect user privacy, feeds much of what you do in Chrome back to their servers to adjust the types of ads you see in chrome, doesn't have your best interests or the internet's interests at heart, but only their profit.
Mozilla: Non-Profit that not only respects user privacy (rated highest in privacy respecting organizations in 2012), but also tries to do what is best for users and the web. With no shares or stockholders, Mozilla is accountable to no-body but the user. Your data is always safe with us, and we always strive to make Firefox, and the web, the best they can be for you, not for advertisers.

Getting Pop Up Ads on my Mac Book Pro All of a Sudden, Regardless of Which Browser I use (Chrome, Safari, FireFox)

I'm getting Pop Ads via Google Chrome / Safari / Firefox all of a sudden in the last 2 weeks. I use a Mac Book Pro OS X (10.6.4). I've never had pop up problems w/ Mac before, I've been using Mac for a few years. I've also been using Google Chrome ever since it came out and haven't had any pop ups occur. However, in the last 2 weeks, I'm getting pop ups all the time. Sometimes when I click a link, it redirects me to a pop up first. My settings on Chrome are still set to "Do not allow any site to show pop-ups." However, they are still popping up. How do I stop the pop ups?
Updates:
Also, even if I don't click a link, I'm getting pop ups. 4/24/11
I've ran 2 different Anti-Virus programs (Sophos & MacScan) and done a full scan w/ both and it comes back as clean --> no virus / malware detected. Also, seems like i'm also getting pop ups on Safari and FireFox as well. Altho the frequency on those is less than Google Chrome. Any other Mac user facing this issue? 11:21 AM

THIS PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!! 5 DAYS & COUNTING AND NO POP UP ISSUES! I came across a blog (can't remember which one now) and realized maybe its not my Mac, maybe its the DNS (Wireless) that I'm connected to that is corrupt. I noted what my DNS address was by clicking on the Apple icon on the upper left hand corner of my laptop and then navigating to System Preferences > Network > Advance (button) > DNS (tab) on Mac. I don't know anything about how DNS stuff works, but I am in a location where there are several restaurants / coffee shops around me with free wi-fi. So, I went and connected to a different restaurant's free wifi. Then I went back and checked my DNS address and it had changed to something new. And under the new DNS address, I haven't had any redirects yet! I went back and tested all the links via Safari that I was previously getting redirected from (including this one) and no redirect issues! YAY!!! Since then, I've been using a wireless card device w/ a different DNS. 5 days later, I still haven't gotten any pop ups!!! So, I guess the issue was w the DNS (wireless) that I was using, not with my laptop. Hope this helps anyone else that may get this issue, worked for me!

Which is better and why: Safari or Firefox?

Which is better and why: Safari or Firefox?

Thx, I've been using FF on my MacBook, as I did with PowerMacs before that. I used to work in the industry and stay up on current trends; but, I'm just a regular user with a new MacAir now and hate to bother my SF/SJ peeps with trivial questions.
As I start to load up the Air, I'm just a bit overwhelmed with the volume of bookmarks I've collected and organzied in FF on my MB.

Which is better for the keying (chroma key)..?

for using chroma key and blue/green screen, which is better, final cut pro or final cut express. Im new with this I dont have either or am familar with either...Also, is dvMatte Pro or whatever from http://www.padd.com/dvg/prod/prod.php?prod=dvmattefcp&view=dvg a plugin for final cut? Does Final cut not already have the keying feature? Why would I need that plugin (if it is a plugin)?

no matter what you're talking about (except price), FCP is better for everything. basically, FCE is a watered down version of FCP. the differences depend on what you want to do with it. but as far as keying, they are relatively the same. after looking at dvmattepro's site, I can't seem to figure out what it is, but the only conclusion I can come to is a plugin that saves you time keying. yes, keying will take a lot of time in FCE/FCP, and it is tricky to get right, but you don't need anything that final cut doesn't give you. check out apple's product descriptions (and numerous discussions on this forum) for details about FCE vs. FCP, or about keying.

Why do Yahoo Flash videos not always run correctly in Chrome and Firefox/Windows 8?

I upgraded early last month to Windows 8 Pro.
Running Yahoo! News and other videos (Yahoo! Screen, etc.; virtually all Yahoo branded products) I get a black screen, no error message on Chrome and Firefox. The videos run correctly on Internet Explorer.
I have not found a way to run these videos at all in Firefox or the 64-bit Waterfox.
In Chrome, I can DISABLE the internal Pepper-based Flash player and the videos will run (but nothing ELSE will: no YouTube, etc.)
I can keep a plug-ins page open in Chrome and repeatedly enable and disable the internal Flash player; I can copy and paste the URL for what I'm watching back into IE...or perhaps some kind and knowing person here will have a better idea. For me, I sense a bug somewhere. BTW...this machine dual-boots Win8 and WIn7. The problem does not exist in Win7. Please don't suggest going back to Win7; that's a VERY mature (translate SLOW and quirky; survived repeated change of motherboard and other major components) install that I'm continually weaning myself away from and rarely boot into it anymore (Win8 boots from SSD and is blazingly fast, Win7 not so much).
I have not found any site other than the ENTIRE Yahoo site that has this problem!
Jay from the Bronx

I'm back! Actually, this issue has been happening to me every now & then but I'd just given up on dealing with it. But now I'm motivated again.
I clicked on a video link in Facebook that sent me to NASCAR | Facebook which turns from the https URL to those two words on this site for some odd reason, and it just popped a box telling me saying Flash Player Upgrade Required - Get Flash Player and the video's image never displayed under that and it couldn't be played.
Then once again I went thru all of the steps to insure that both I do actually have Flash Player and that it is Enabled. I do and it is. I also read somewhere to click the gear icon in IE then click Safety > ActiveX Filtering. I do that and I see a checkmark next to ActiveX Filtering. I've tried it both with a checkmark and without one and there's no difference.
I have Windows 8.1 fully updated, IE-11 and Flash Player
I see the swinging tire swing image in #5. Verify if Flash Player is installed at Flash Player Help.

Cross browser testing : Modifier Keys playback actions not working in chrome and Firefox

Hi,
In my work flow I have to select multiple items in list.So I have recorded 'Ctrl+Click' action to select list items.In Chrome and Firefox it is not selecting multiple Items.
Even Ctrl+A,Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V also not working in chrome and Firefox.Complete modifier keys support is not observed in chrome and Firefox.Let me Know how to automate modifier keys actions in cross browser?
Regards,
Nagasree.

Hi Nagasree,
Welcome to MSDN forums.
First,please make sure the Chrome and Firefox is supported by cross browser testing.
Latest version of Chrome and Firefox supported by cross browser testing are Chrome version 38.0.2125.111 and
Firefox 33.
I doubt whether Chrome and Firefox in cross browser testing don’t support automating modifier keys or there is anything wrong on it if you are using supported browser. Since this issue is related to the Extensions tool
Selenium components for Coded UI Cross Browser Testing, if possible, I suggest you post this
issue here, click “Q AND A”, and then you could post this issue there, you would get dedicated
support there.
Thanks for your understanding.

Mac won't open pages in browsers. Chrome and Firefox won't open any pages - Safari will only open a selected few.

I've had some strange browser issues, with Conduit being added to Chrome (which I've tried to remove via the browser settings). Chrome will open my Gmail account but no ther pages. Firefox won't open anything. Safari opens a few pages (this forum thankfully) but is very selective.
Google is returning results to me via Google.es rather than Google.co.uk
I can use all browsers freely on other devices on home network (although Google.es has popped up on my iPhone now). I've run anti-virus software which hasn't picked up any problems. I've tried uninstalling Chrome and Firefox, but am unable to do so.
Any help or guidance would be really, really appreciated.

Crystal Report 11 PDF report display error in IE9, Chrome and Firefox 4

Hi,
We have developed a Java EE application using Crystal Server 11.0 (Copyright © 2004 Business Objects) to generate PDF reports. All working well for the past few years on IE6 and IE7 under Windows XP Pro until we started to upgrade to Windows 7 and IE9.
When trying to run the reports it will have the error message as follow:
File does not begin with '%PDF-%'.
LocalEWH3zy-d@i4
I also tested on Chrome and Firefox 4 under Windows XP and it got the same error message. It seems like the PDF generated by the aged Crystal Server have some issues with the latest browsers.
Thanks.

Hi Ted, thank you for your response, but the previous post is actually the result of IE6, which is working fine. I confused myself alone the way.
Here is the result of Chrome. It says "Information is needed before this report can be processed". The Content-Type is PDF, but the browser is looking for something before accepting this PDF file. The PDF file itself is not in the response stream.
Thanks.

Column Highlighting Not Working in Chrome or Firefox but works in IE

Version 4.1.1.00.23
Hello,
I have a classic report that I'm trying to apply dynamic column highlighting on.
I'm following the discussion from Jari https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2209261
The columns to be highlighted are being determined from a table that gets set every month and the value are being selected in the report query.
The javascript that is in the Region Footer is:
[code]
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function()
        $('##REGION_ID# input[name="f01"]').each(function(i)

[/code]
The highlighting works in Internet Explorer, but the same columns are not being highlighted in Chrome or Firefox and there are no errors being reported in either browser.
Can someone help me with this?
Is there additional information I can provide that I haven't.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Fac,
This is a classic report. After debugging all 3 browsers I finally found the issue. First, my javascript isn't very good.
When I looked at the source of the page, I saw that 'F01' contained the value to determine which month's columns to highlight.
I then thought that if I evaluated the contents of 'F01', using $x('f01').value, that I could set my variables in my if statements.
During my debugging of the javascript in each of the browsers I came upon the 'this' object being displayed in the watch window. When I expanded the node to view the contents I saw that it also contained the value of the month to highlight as well.
I have since changed my 'if' statement to if ($x(this).value == <month number> and the hightlighting is working in all 3 browsers correctly.
Is this still not the right approach as Jari discusses in his post I referenced above?
Thanks,
Joe

[E2013] [MailApps] [JS] [Windows]: window.open from a mail app fails in Chrome and Firefox but works in IE

I develop an Office Mail App which is used in Exchange 2013 On-Premises in my test lab. The mail app is hosted on IIS 8 (Windows Server 2012 R2) in the same LAN and ActiveDirectory domain.
Opening popup windows from the mail app does only work in IE, not in Chrome and Firefox.
Here are the details:
The following server and domain names are changed to hide our internal names. I adjusted the error messages accordingly.
Exchange 2013 is available at https://e13.some.dom/owa...
The app content comes from https://server.some.dom/...
Both the app and exchange server have valid SSL certicates.
Both server URLs are listed in the popup exception lists of the browsers I use.
The app generates html with an element which uses onclick to open another item in the same mailbox in a new browser window. Like so:
<a onclick="window.open('https://e13.some.dom/owa/#viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&ItemID=SomeValidID', '_blank', 'width=600,height=400');">click me</a>
Clicking that link in Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.17105; Update Versions: 11.0.7) opens a new browser window and shows the message specified with "SomeValidID". All good.
When I use Chrome (Version 34.0.1847.131 m) the popup browser window opens. I see some progress text "Starting..." and "Almost there..." and then this error:
something went wrong
Sorry, we can't get that information right now. Please try again later. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.

In Firefox I see the popOutManager-access with "permission denied", but the popup window itself was already opened.
Seems like the opened popup window tries to open another window?
When I open up a new browser window in Chrome or Firefox manually and paste the URL (https://e13.some.dom/owa/#viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&ItemID=SomeValidID) manually in the address bar the message is shown correctly, so the URL itself does not seem to be
the problem.
Double clicking on messages in Chrome and Firefox opens those messages in new windows as well. So it does not seem to be a general popup problem in Chrome and Firefox as well.
Any ideas how I get the popups from my mail app working in Chrome and Firefox as well?

Flash works in Chrome and Firefox, I.E. says I have to install it. ??? I have the lastest version.

I have the latest flash player installed in my windows 7 computer. it works fine in Chrome and Firefox. When I try to use Internet Explorer, any site that calls for Flash, Internet Explorer 9 tells me I have to install Flash Player. I followed directions and made sure Flash is up and running, and settings are correct, but I.E. refuses to recognize that it is installed already. I do not want to uninstall and reinstall it as it works fine with Chrome, which is the one I use the most. The last time I installed it, well, it was a pain in the ***. Worked fine until I got Chrome, then I.E. refused to acknowledge that it is still on the computer. What do I do?

CHROME HAS IT ALREADY INSTALLED IN THEIR PROGRAM AND YOU DON'T NEED TO INSTALL IT SEPARATELY...THAT'S WHY YOU CAN GET IT TO WORK IN FIREFOX ALSO!!
I'm trying to get it to work WITHOUT using CHROME as it makes my computer run like ****!!
To use it on EI you need to unistall CHROME....best thing is to uninstall EVERYTHING and start over...get rid of any left over items in registry also ...completely clean all flash components out and reboot...start over with the most current version of flash from the adobe site. I did this today...works great in EI...I just can't get the damn thing to work in Firefox now!

RoboHelp 8 WebHelp: Some images not displaying in Chrome or Firefox Browsers

(I'm using RH8 v 8.0.2.208 under XP SP3, all latest Windows updates. Building to a WebHelp output.)
I have many topics in which the images have a Fade In effect (Dynamic HTML Effect > Page has been loaded > Fade in). I build it into WebHelp.
This works beautifully in IE8, but in Google Chrome, and Firefox, there is no fade in (I can live with that I suppose) BUT some images are there, some are not - just white space where the image should be. I get identical problems, topic-for-topic, in Firefox and Chrome. Some fade-in images display, some don't. They are a mix of JPG and GIFs.
Can anybody throw light on this?
Help!

When I try to view them I get this error message:
The image

cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
Maybe try exporting the images again and uploading again? A

Problems playing mp3 in Chrome and Firefox

Hi
I have added a small MP3 file to a page in DW which plays perfectly in I.E., Safari and Opera. But in Google Chrome the audio player appears at the top of the screen and I see a black rectangle exactly where it should appear on the page (which is not at the top of the page).
In Firefox I get a the Install Missing Plugin message after which it tells me 'no suitable plugins were found'. As I said, everthing works fine in all other browsers.
I am using DW CS5,5 for Windows, Windows 7, Chrome and Firefox 10. I have heard somewhere that Firefox does not support MP3 due to licensing issues but I don't how true this is. Any help and advice will be much appredciated.
Thanks
George.

I'm also experiencing this problem.

How can I import passwords and usernames from Google Chrome into FireFox 3.5

Most of my passwords are in the Google Chrome browser, but I want to use Firefox as doubleup. So the list with usernames and passwords should be synchronised.

[http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/chromepass.html http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/chromepass.html]
Will save the Chrome passwords in CSV format which may be imported into Firefox (Tools, options, Security, import/export passwords)

Which is better chrome or firefox?
