Why do I have trouble printing when using Firefox, I have to change over to IE and the printing is OK

When I try to print a page while using Firefox the printer does not work. A message stays on the screen 'preparing' and the searching circle keeps turning. I switch over to Internet Explorer and the page prints straight away. I recently tried to print a form I received from a company and a message showed that Firefox were having trouble, use IE

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

  • Why do I get random BSOD when using Firefox with windows XP pro 32 bit? Seems to happen since system updates on 01/09/13.

    I am using Chrome to write this and no crashes. I have defragged with the system defrager and Defragler both. I bought new memory but this issue happened a couple days after install around the time of some microsoft updates 01/09/13. I have run Memtest and a hard drive test as well, done a power cycle and run a disk cleaner. This only happens when using Firefox.

  • Why don't java applets run when using Firefox 4.0 in a windows limited user account?

    Java applications will not run in Firefox 4.0 when the windows user/process only has limited user access rights. The systems, I see this behaviour on have Windows XP Pro SP3, Firefox 4.0 and JRE 1.6.0_24 installed. The java application will run when when full administrative rights are present. This issue did not occur with the 3.6 firefox version that was previously installed.

    The problem also exists with the newer Firefox 4.0.1 and Java 1.6.0_25 versions.
    Enabling administrative rights resolves the issue ... though this defeats the purpose of using a limited user.
    The underlying bug appears to be in the Firefox java plugin detection code. The issue is related to the detection code requiring write access to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org windows registry key. The limited user only has read access for this registry key. The behaviour was identified using the Sysinternals ProcessMonitor utility ... showed firefox calling an interface to create the registry key and getting an access denied response in the limited user case.
    A more targeted workaround for the issue is to grant the limited user write access on the HKLM\SOFTWARE\mozilla.org windows registry key. This avoids the need to grant administrative rights to the user and enables the java plugin to be detected. That is, it works on the 2 XP systems where the java plugin wasn't being detected in limited user accounts.

  • I have 2 inches of empty space on both sides of the screen on all websites when using firefox. How do I get webpages to fill the screen?

    All my webpages on firefox have about 2 inches of empty space on both sides of the screen, but on Internet Explorer there is much less empty space or mostly none at all. How do i fix this?

    I can't make out from your low-res screenshot what those gray images in the menu at the left are, but I do not see them and there is nothing int the page source that accounts for them.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I have been using Firefox on this computer for over a year and it worked fine until last week. I get "problem loading this page" anywhere I try to go. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but nothing works.

    I can't think of any changes I made that caused it. I have not installed any new programs. My daughter used it for some I-Tunes stuff before it started this problem but I can't say it caused it.

  • Processor locks up when using Firefox, help!

    I am still new to the Mac world and need some help.
    I have a 2009 Macbook, with Mac OS X, 10.6.8, Processor is 2.26 and memory is 4gb.
    I've noticed lately that when using Firefox I seem to have lock up issues and I can't click anything. The rainbow processor thing just keeps running and running. Often times I cannot even click the Apple icon in the tool bar in order to get to force quit. (I don't know what buttons to push for force quit)
    The only way to solve the problem is to hard boot the computer and I know that is not a good thing to do. What is going on with the processor as to why it gives me hang ups when using Firefox? I have about 5-6 windows open and each has about 7-8 tabs open.
    Should I upgrade to Mountain Lion? Will that help? Again, any advice or assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated, keep in mind I am not a techie kind of person, so simple terms will be best.
    Thanks Apple community.

    Ever since I downloaded v12, my computer has been locking up at least twice a DAY. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything, including Firefox itself, as well as Adobe, and all the plug-ins associated with the application. I've run Spybot, C-Cleaner, and my anti-virus to confirm that there's nothing else wrong with the computer outside Firefox. If the computer is rebooted and Firefox is not opened, the system is fine. But once Firefox has been opened - even if it survives the session and I close Firefox - the computer is about 75% likely to lock up, requiring a hard reboot. I'm running Vista Home edition (32 bit). If anyone has a clue what might help stop this - because I'm quite sure that it's not healthy for my computer to be hard rebooted twice (or more) a day - I'd love to hear it! It's getting waaaay more than annoying, enough so that I'm ready to move to another browser to stop the problem.

  • IViews Links Shifted to the Right when using Firefox

    Hi,
    We are using SAP Netweaver Portal 7.0 and have created multiple portal themes.  With one of the themes we created, it looks that the iViews links that appear in the the detail navigation of the portal are shifted to the right when using firefox.  There are no issues however with the sap standard theme.  Please let me know what theme properties may cause the iViews links to be shifted to the right when using Firefox.
    Thank you,
    Ghizlane Idrissi

    Hi Rahul,
    I understand the limitations with Firefox.  However, i experience this issue only with the theme we created.  With the standard SAP theme, the issue is not there. That tells me that the issue is with the theme we created.  I just can't find what specific property in the theme editor is causing that. Any thoughts?
    Thank you.

  • When using Firefox, a new window to the Firfox support page opens at random intervals.

    When using Firefox for normal web browsing, a new window to the Firefox support home page opens at random intervals. This occurrence can happen at odd intervals, from a few minutes, to hours apart. There does not appear to be any correlation as to which sites I'm visiting. I am not aware of touching any keyboard key (other than using the mouse) and this new Firefox support window pop-up seems to happen completely randomly. It happens about 10 times a day and is very annoying.

    I have this problem as well, when ever I open Firefox. This has been going on for 2-3 days, and I simply select 'skip' and it goes away.
    What is more bothersome is that now I am unable to organize my bookmarks, they no longer show up when I click on 'Organize Bookmarks'. My bookmarks still show up in the 'bookmarks' toolbar however.
    I wonder if these two glitches are related?

  • 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.

    You do use Siri. Hold the home button until Siri responds and say "Define bottle". Same thing, no?

  • 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.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store
