Why doesn't firefox 19 alert when entering or leaving secure websites when this has been selected as true using about:config

Using previous version it always alerted when entering or leaving a secure website. After udating to 19.0 it stopped alerting. I checked the settings about:config and both entering and leaving secure sites were set as True. Tried disabling and then re-enabling but still no alerts.

hello pete, those warning messages were generally removed in firefox 19. for reference see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799009 bug #799009] (please don't post in bug reports).

  • Why doesn't Firefox stop running when I shut it off? Every time I shut it off and return later, I get a message that Firefox is running, but not responding and that I have to restart my computer to access Firefox.

    When I shut down Firefox I get all the shutdown messages, so I assume it has shut down as it should. But if I go back to my PC later (within an hour or so) and click on Firefox to bring it up, I get the "runningbutnotresponding" message and the promt to restart my PC.

  • Firefox does not load images on any website. This has been a problem for years

    It's not clear why. but only Firefox does not load images on web pages. Works fine on IE

    no of it works. Never has. I see this problem all over. It's the main reason that users don't switch to Firefox.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Why doesn't firefox close out when I'm done with it and close it; when next I try to open firefox again I get a dialog box telling me firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer? I'm tired of doing that one of more times a day.

    1. This happens at least once a day, and sometimes multiple times. Today it's happened twice, thus far. My home page is FoxNews.com and if I leave it up overnight or for longer periods during the day firefox doesn't allow the refresh of the home page it just goes to yahoo 404--error can't find the webpage. Then when I enter FoxNews.com it adds a /error to the url and doesn't allow me to go to MY homepage. So I close firefox and then if I try to reopen it and then I get the dialog box saying firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer. Very aggravating. 2. Also the Adobe flash drive update always fails. 3. Webpages get in loops and fail to load to the point I have to stop and refresh or close out and reopen.

    One situation in which Command+w or Ctrl+w might not work is if the "focus" is in a plugin such as the Flash player used on Youtube after you interact with the player controls. Firefox will continue to send the keyboard input to the plugin until you move the focus back to the page. Does that account for any of the problem?

  • Why doesn't Firefox close tabs when I use the command-w shortcut keys?

    Every so often, on random sites, I would have 2 or three tabs open. I would command-w (on a Mac) to close the front most tab, and it would close. Bringing the next tab to the front. But when I hit command-w again, I get the warning sound on my Mac, and the tab does not want to close. Even though Firefox is at the most front of applications, and the tab I'm trying to close is at the front of Firefox browser window. I have to click on the page (even though it's already at the front), for command-w to work and close the tab. I've reset Firefox to default twice already. I've even deleted it, and reinstalled it.

  • Why doesn't Firefox close even when I close it. When I try to open it again I get a "Firefox is running, please close before reopening...or something like that", but I can't close it and it's not really open where I can see it.

    It just won't close unless I reboot my computer

  • Why doesn't my cursor change when I click the selection tool?

    When I open any file, the object -- in this case, an image -- is already selected.
    I want to enlarge the image so I click the buttons to do that. Normally I would pick 125% or 150%, but the dropdown menu does not open. I tried clicking the up arrow/down arrow buttons. Nothing happened. I tried double-clicking on the numbers to type a percentage; tiny blue horizontal bars appear on either side of the default "100" as if the machine is trying to highlight the number, but can't.
    I click the Text tool, get the I-beam, and can click in a text box.
    After all that, I click the selection tool. Nothing happens. My cursor is an I-beam. I cannot change it to anything else.
    I have installed and uninstalled InDesign several times in an effort to correct this and related problems.
    Installed from media -- original disks -- encountered problem -- uninstalled & reinstalled -- problem not solved.
    Downloaded installation files from Adobe. Same result.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled InDesign only. Still no go.
    Reimaged computer back to factory settings, created desktop installation point for CS4, installed CS4 from there. Still no go.
    Is it possible that there is some kind of incompatibility between CS4 and my computer? It is a new (one week old) Acer Travelmate laptop. Got it from TigerDirect, a trustworthy merchant.
    My OS is Windows 7, but this shouldn't be a problem; CS4 runs fine with Windows 7 on another computer in my house (which, unfortunately, is occupied most of the time, or I would use that).
    Any ideas at all?
    Please help. I have a project deadline coming up and really need this particular computer to work.
    Thank you thank you thank you.

    Bob! BOB!! You did it!!!
    I would give you money if I had money.... The next best thing I can think of to offer thanks is give you a great recipe:
    1 pizza crust of your choice
    olive oil
    8 oz of goat cheese (more or less to suit your taste)
    1 medium tomato
    6 large cloves of fresh garlic
    4-6 oz of sliced black olives (more or less to suit your taste)
    fresh or dried basil
    For best results, all ingredients should be organic or at least of highest quality available
    Oven 350
    Pre-heat the oven to 350 (important to do this). Dice the tomato to 1/4-inch bits and dice the garlic to 1/8-bits or as near as you can. Slice the black olives if necessary. Brush the pizza crust with olive oil. Blind bake it for 3 minutes or until two rooms smell really nice.
    Spread on the goat cheese. Sprinkle on the basil, tomato, olives and garlic as evenly as you can.
    Bake the pie for 15 minutes and check it for doneness to your liking (crispy or not).
    Serve with salad and a cold white wine for a nice dinner for two, or cut into 2" squares for appetizers at a party.

  • Quota deduction when EE has been inactive for more than 180 days / Advance quota days when employee does not have enough balance

    Dear experts,
    We have two requirements regarding to the "Anual leave" quota.
    1. Quota reduction when employee is inactive for more than 180 days
    2. Advance quota days when employeee does not have enough balance
    We have in place an "Anual Leave" quota related to a calendar year period, that gets generated dialy in time evaluation. This quota gets the employee entitlement from a set of rules that stored the corresponding balance in a period time type, that is the one that we defined in the customizing. This is working fine. The problems start when we try to incorporate the other two requirements.
    Regarding the first requirement, if the employee has been inactive for more than 180 days in a calendar year due to unpaid leave, we need to start quota reduction as follow,
    First, we need to clear the balance that was calculated above in the schema.
    Then, we need to calculate one leave day for every 20 days worked till the end of the year, considering as such, everyday the employee is expected to work, except days on which the employee has been absent on unpaid leave.
    For the second requirement we created a manual quota call "Advance Anual Leave". So, if the employee, wishes to take 20 working days holiday, but in his/her Anual Leave quota has only 10 days available, we have to create an "Advance Anual Leave" quota manualy for 10 days. When the quota for next year gets generated, we need to deduct these advanced 10 days from it. This deduction should stop the year after.
    The problem we are finding with these two requirements is that, due to the Anual Leave quota gets generated dialy, we can't get the balance right.
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Alex

  • When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

    When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

    How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
    When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
    When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
    You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
    I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
    ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

  • What on earth is the "click me" lego man on the home page and why doesn't it do something when I click?

    What on earth is the "click me" lego man on the home page and why doesn't it do something when I click?

    The Click Me logo is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion - once clicked you should be able to control the character with the "WASD", and "IJKL" keys.
    Quoting '''the-edmeister''' from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025706
    That Click Me game is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion on the default Home Page [about:home], that loads from the Mozilla servers in the "Brand Logo" (DIV) section of about:home. A feature that was first used in Firefox 29 [IIRC] just prior to the start of the Olympic Games.
    Also, part of that promotion is addressed in the "Snippet" below the Search Container on the about:home page.
    If you want to block the "Brand Logo" section (and the "snippet" below the Search container) from ever being seen again, you can install Stylish and this UserStyle. https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo

  • Why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?

    Hi Guys:
         I just bought an apple tv. I am able to use the mirroring function with no problem, and I can see the apple tv in the "Airplay" menu.
         But When i play a video in safari(mirroring turned off), I can not see my apple TV in the "AirPlay" menu.
          So my question is : why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?
    Does the same thing happen to you guys??
    btw, I just dont want to mirroring when play a video in safari, that's why i'm asking this question
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Experiencing the same issue.  Everything used to just work.  I'm up to date on *everything* and it's all apple devices (airport extreme, appletv, 2 macbook pro lion, iphone4s, ipad). 
    My gut says it's the AppleTV since it happens from both laptops that have itunes.
    Let me know if you find a fix.

    Hi Razmee,
    Thanks for your response.
    The mail server worked when I originally set it up and continued to work for months afterwards.
    What would make the outgoing mail server not be set up correctly after all that time?
    Thanks again.

  • Why doesn't Firefox auto-update Flash Player like Chrome does?

    For security reasons and less hassle, I like Chrome auto-updates Flash Player. Why doesn't Firefox do this?

    Google Chrome has it's own version of the Flash plugin that is apart of the Google Chrome installation files.<br />
    So Google needs to do a full update with every Flash release.
    Firefox uses the Flash plugin as installed in your Linux distribution,<br />
    If your Ubuntu Linux distribution doesn't have an automatic update for Flash then you need to do that manually.

  • Why doesn't my phone ring when I've got screen lock activated?

    This has been driving me crazy and I need to know how to fix it.
    I like to have the screen lock activated on my phone (otherwise it will be in my purse calling people without me even touching it) but when I get an incoming call my phone doesn't ring, it will only vibrate so I'm missing alot of calls because I'm not always near my phone to hear it vibrate.
    Also, there's nothing to alert me (a sound played every few minutes) when I missed a call or text & its causing problems for me.

        cem421,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the phone ringing but we certainly want to make sure that is addressed. When your phone is not in screen lock does it ring as normal? You may want to check your sound settings to see if you have it set to vibrate in silent. Also if that mode is set you want to make sure the switch above your volume buttons is set up, otherwise the phone will not ring while in screen lock mode. Keep us updated and I am sure we will get this figured out.
    Thank you,
