Why doesn't even freshly & cleanly installed Firefox allow MS Silverlight to run, while other browsers will?

I've tried uninstalling, including all personal information, etc., then reinstalling without any importing of external data-- in other words, a very fresh and clean installation. Still, I can't get Silverlight to run at the Fidelity site. Internet Explorer and Chrome work just fine. What's going on here?

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, none of them solved the problem. The problem persists. Silverlight acts like it wants to start. In fact, it seems like it is just starting when it always shuts done and presents a blank screen. Still don't get it. Anybody have any other ideas?
Cheers!

  • Why doesn't the newest edition of Firefox allow my Norton Identity Safe program to work in conjunction with it

    Hello
    I have been prompted to upgrade Firefox several times now and I actually did once but ended up performing an uninstall after finding out it doesn't work with my very expensive Norton Identity Safe/ Virus Software. Is there any way to remedy this issue as I won't abandon the software I have already purchased and would really like to continue using Firefox (definitely fewer issues than the internet browser that came pre-downloaded on my new laptop).
    Thank you for your time
    Ash

    I have heard that Norton released an update patch for Firefox 5.0 on Tuesday 06-21 when Firefox 5.0 was released. ''(versus taking their normal six to eight weeks)'' Some Norton users have reported that the toolbar may not work if the Norton patch was installed before Firefox 5.0, instead if after Firefox 5.0 was already installed.

  • Why Firefox warns about partially encrypted content while other browsers dont

    I have a page test1.php which has a form that send data using POST to itself and then redirects to test2.php via HTTPS where FireFox shows a lock with red exclamation mark. If I press F5 after this I will get the page without any warnings and signed by SSL certificate. Any other browsers including Chrome, Opera, IE dont show any warnings and show the page as trustly encrypted. I found that there are no media resources loaded via HTTP (I used Media tab and Firebug and HttpFox). This case is only happen when JS enabled! But, again, I cant see any requests via HTTP - only HTTPS. So what it may be?

    Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

  • Firefox appears to be hijacked even after clean install.

    Hello,
    My sister has this weird problem on her computer and it was involved with Windows and Firefox. When she opens Firefox, her entire computer crashes down, shows a black desktop, and pulls up a BSOD (blue screen of death) the main error was CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION. Error code I believe was 0x0000004. Mysteriously, the minidump of that BSOD disappeared. I wondered that since this problem only happened when I opened firefox, I decided to clean install Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox with removal of personal data and customizations and installed a clean copy from Mozilla.org. Firefox is still unusuable. It doesn't cause the BSOD but it will not allow me to go to ANY URLS (initially, it showed me the "Firefox has been installed page" and another page that said "The address is not valid" any other URLS will not load if I hit enter or hit the go arrow key on the address bar) and the search box has no search engine at all! (icon is a blank file). I've tried reseting the program back to factory defaults. I've scanned for Malware on Malwarebytes Pro, GMER, TDSSKiller, and Hitman Pro. Every other program seems to work fine, at least I hope it does. My last resort is to reset this entire computer.

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
    You can use the MSConfig program or the Autoruns utility to see which software and services are getting started.

  • Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

    Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.  I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions.  I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over.  The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox.  It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed.  I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest.  Getting very frustrated.  They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments.  I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

    So is it actually installed, or is it not?  If not, download and run the offline installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    If it still does not work correctly, check

    In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This will install the version of OS X that originally came with your model if you have a model that supports Internet Recovery - 2010 models and later: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery.

  • Why doesn't 64 bit iTunes install on my Windows 7 64 bit PC?

    Why doesn't 64 bit iTunes install on my Windows 7 64 bit PC?   I can download the 64-bit installer from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427
    But after I run the installer, I get an error message stating that the installer is for 32 bit machines and that I should download and install the 64 bit installer instead.  (Been there, done that, using two different browsers for the download.)  Why would I get such a message when my PC is 64 bit O/S and the iTunes installer purports to be for that type of PC?
    Please help,
    -Bruce

    When you get on the download page scroll down on the left hand side there is 64bit version.  I installed it. But the thing I can't work out is in task manger says 32bit

  • Why i insert a CD to install a camera, but the auto run doesnt start???

    Why i insert a CD to install a camera, but the auto run doesnt start???

    Mac software typically does not run installers on inserting the optical media (CD or DVD.) You have to go inside it and find for the installer application - if you can't find it look through the documentation that came with the camera.
    Best of luck.

  • Firefox will not play any type of videos while other browsers do??

    Using windows 7, real player installed, cant plah any videos at all while other bowsers do.
    Mozilla firefox 21.0 real playuer 16.0.2

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Firefox window not displaying properly even after clean install

    Hi - Yesterday firefox stopped displaying properly on my windows 64-bit dell laptop running Windows 7 home premium. When it starts up all I get is a thick translucent bar at the top of the window where the toolbars normally are, and the main content pane is jet black. I'm pretty sure firefox is actually running. If I pass the mouse over the transluscent bar the cursor changes to indicate whether in input boxes are for web addresses and the google toolbar, and task manager shows it is running the firefox start page. But I can see nothing.
    I have uninstalled firefox, rebooted and done a clean install (twice) based on the help instructions, but no change. All other applications seem to be running normally. This is the first time I have ever had a problem with firefox.
    Thanks

    hello jp100, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • Shift key doesn't select blocks of files.  Even after clean install of mavericks in case it was old snow leopard problem.  Can only select individual files

    Hi for a few months my shift key stopped allowing me to select blocks of files and worked like the cmd key selecting just individual files.   Apple store sold me a. New keyboard when I connected it first time it worked. But after shutting down mac it never worked again.   Have just performed clean install of new mavericks as I was told it must be the permissions or other account settings etc.    But 2 days later after lots of work shift still doesn't work.  Every now and then it would work once and then. Not again.  I work with photos a lot and only being able to choose individual files is a nightmare.  Can anyone explain this problem.?

    I installed mavericks from a USB and reformatted the hd.  I set up a new user account added email, apple ID  etc and then downloaded new iPhoto and iMovie.  I manually copied documents, music inc itunes library folder and photos from time machine back up.   I also copied original apps only using migration assistant to get idvd and garageband back as despite a lot of searching i couldnt find a way to selectively reinstall original apps not purchased from app store.  Only third party apps are photoshop elements 9 and office 2011.

  • Major crashes even after clean install.  iCal/sqlite/MobileMe the culprit?

    In 25 years of using Apple computers, I've never had problems like I'm having now.
    My iMac was acting up severely with some strange symptoms such as:
    * The red & white portion of the iCal icon in the dock disappearing, while the date itself remained visible.
    * All kinds of 0K sqlite files showing up on the base level of the hard drive, and a lots of cfx pref files being generated (stuff like cfx#1t9Oiul -- these i understand to be corrupt pref files). The sqlite files, by the way, show up as things like etilqs_3HVA6IL9BWQtB9e
    * Freezes, generally slow behavior, and multiple crashes, including the "blue screen of death" where the color just shifts and the cursor comes and goes. Eventually, even after running DiskWarrior, I the computer would start up, then spontaneously shut itself down after the grey apple screen with the progress wheel.
    Ultimately, I decided to just wipe the thing clean and start fresh from a backup.
    Using a Leopard install disk, I attempted to do the clean install, but was unable to from the iMac's internal optical drive - the installer told me the disk was damaged or dirty (the optical drive is brand new, by the way).
    Using a powerbook and putting the iMac in target mode, I was able to do a completely clean install.
    I ran all the software updates and have added NO third party software.
    Problems are back:
    Running a sync to get my calendar, contacts, and bookmarks back, I encountered my first problem again: address book wouldn't sync "due to inconsistent data" and told me to replace the data on the computer by resetting it -- which I attempted to do, multiple times, but the sync always failed.
    Then , once again those sqlite files started showing up.
    Then the iCal icon disappeared again and programs weren't responding. Moments ago I had to do a hard restart.
    I've zapped the PRAM, I've tried everything I know, and I'm still having all these problems (some of which, by the way, are now beginning to occur on the PowerBook G4 I also have).
    If anyone can provide me any guidance here, man would I love it. Is it possible the Leopard disk I have is somehow corrupted and is causing all these issues? Or is it hardware? Or is this some sort of problem that's being generated by synchronization?
    I'm really at my wit's end.
    Thanks to anyone who can give me a hand.
    Jon

    Just wanted to update anyone who's interested:
    After replacing the internal hard drive, all problems have ceased and my Mac is running beautifully -- fast (though I also upgraded the ram from 1 to 2 GB) and I couldn't be happier.
    So just a word to the wise: those "software" problems I was so certain I was having turned out to be a hard drive that was slowly failing. A friend of mine who's a programmer said he's never heard of a hard drive failing anything but suddenly, but in this case that's what happened.
    With the problems I was having, I was seriously beginning to question my loyalty to Apple.
    As it turns out, now I'm questioning their loyalty to Western Digital -- that drive was a dog and I'm glad to have replaced it with a Seagate.
