Why do dedicated Firefox browsers (for banking, credit cards, etc.) no longer work under FF4?

Recent FF versions allowed construction of dedicated browsers, so that the instance of FF used to access a bank account was entirely separate from a general-access browser, preventing corruption/copying of sensitive info.
These had their own icons, etc. and worked like separate programs. As of FF4, they don't work.

Hmm. Wish I'd seen your posts earlier, I could have saved you some trouble. It's nothing on your machine. It's a problem at Chatropolis. I am able access a page on one of the two machines, the one at cs10.chatropolis.com. But the one at cs7.chatropolis.com, while the server is there, and can be pinged, sends back a "404 - not found" response.
No matter what the owner says, these errors are server errors on his end, and have nothing to do with any settings on your computer. He's simply mistaken when he says they are coming off your computer. It's possible that he's confused by how Internet Explorer on Windows can be set up so that it will give you an error page that looks a lot like the same error page you'll get from a Windows IIS server. Or he simply doesn't know the technical details.
But it doesn't look like he's running a Windows IIS server, either. According to the headers on his servers, they're running something called "IFCS", which a little digging shows to be something owned by his company.

    Why am I being asked for my credit card details to upgrade a Free app??

    Howdy GaryFC,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
    If you have a payment source associated with your Apple ID, it needs to be a vaild form of payment.  To troubleshoot issues with your payment type being declined, please follow the steps below.
    In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.
    You can verify and/or modify your billing address by following these instructions:
    Open iTunes.  If you are signed in to iTunes, skip to step 4.
    Note: Verify that you are signed in to the correct iTunes account. If you are unsure which account you're signed into, choose Store > Sign Out and proceed to step 2.
    Choose Store > Sign In.
    Enter your account name and password, then click the Sign In button.
    Choose Store > View My Account.
    Click the Edit Payment Information button.
    In the Payment Method section, choose None.
    Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
    Click the Edit Payment Information button again.
    Enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your credit card statement.
    Select your credit card type in the Payment Method section.
    Enter your credit card information, your card's security code, and the expiration date.
    Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.

  • Why does Apple TV ask for my credit card security code??

    Tried to rent a movie all day. Cannot get passed Apple TV asking for my credit card security code. Entering it does not work, changing the credit card in itunes does not work. Am able to rent directly on my phone (there's a wasted $6 but was curious if was itunes or Apple TV). What is going on???

    Thanks diesel....tried that as well, but failed to mention it in my OP. No luck. Also rebooted, unplugged, reset, etc....no luck as well. It has to be something on the ATV though since it rented just fine on my phone. I have 13 $1 pending charges on the 2nd credit card I tried, so it was looking, just not verifying.....strange. Have to think it wouldn't be my bank though, since again, renting on my phone went fine.

  • I repeatedly have problems loading https sites, e.g., bank, credit cards, etc. that I have used for ever. Anyone know what on earth is going on? It wont even load the proper images or allow the links to work. I've tried everything you suggest but no luck

    I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 Power PC running Firefox 3.6.11, and every time I try to access a secure site that I have accessed many, many times before and even TaxAct last year, the images do not load nor do the links on the page work. The bank and credit card pages constantly come up with the "Security" issue, & even when I try to "accept" the exception it will not allow me to even though everything in the "details" section is fine. I have no idea what on earth is going on, I have literally tried everything you have suggested without any success. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks,

  • Why does my iPad ask for a credit card to buy apps when I already have money on my iTunes account?

    Why does it do that? It used to do that for free apps to but once I put my credit card on it, it stop asking for free apps. But now it still wants a card even though I still have 20 dollars left from a birthday gift card. I heard somewhere that this was because of a new feature to stop kids from downloading apps that their parents don't want them to or buying a bunch of apps and racking up a huge bill, is this part of it?

    Is the card expired? You cannot have an expired card in your account.

    Once you redeem the card to your iTunes account, you no longer need the card as the full amount is put onto your account.
    Simply purchase and the amount will be deducted from what is on your account.

  • I cannot access online statements for my credit card account when using firefox, but have no problem when using safari.

    When I attempted to check the monthly statement for my credit card account and clicked on "See statement", the next screen that appeared, which was labeled Online Statement", was blank. In the past, I have never had any problems with this. When I checked with the bank that issued the credit card, the representative I spoke with said that it was a browser issue and that, since I was working on a Mac, I should try using Safari. When I switched to Safari, I had no problem bringing up my statement. But I would prefer to be able to use Firefox to obtain information like this, since it's the browser I always use.

    Can you upgrade your browser to Firefox 12 and check?

  • My credit card expired and now I can't update paid for apps. Why can't I upgrade without a credit card?

    My credit card expired and now I can't update paid for apps. Why can't I upgrade without a credit card?

    The "None" option is not available. Presumably because I have already purchased on that Apple ID with a credit card.
    That is not likely the case. As you can see in my account in the US  store I have a bank card in place and I have the None option.

    I use to download free games but now it is asking for my credit card information why?

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.
