I Can't type in my Blog Search Box through Firefox but works fine in Chrome and IE

My Search box Doesn't type when using Firefox but it works well when I am using Chrome or IE , so I asked some of my friends to check out the blog and tell me If the search box is working or not, and they faced the same problem as well, I can press Search but I can't type words in the box.

Can you reach the search box via the Tab key?
What element is selected when you right-click that search box and click Inspect Element to open the Inspector?

Why doesn't the address bar and tabs work after opening a PDF?

I am using Firefox 3.6.16 and windows 7. When I open a PDF file using adobe reader in Firefox the address bar becomes inoperable for any other tabs I have open or open subsequently. This occurs until the tab the pdf file is open on is closed. I tried upgrading to Firefox 4 but apparently the problem is amplified in that as once a PDF file is opened even if you close the tab its on nothing works until you restart Firefox. I am using adobe reader X but had the same issue with 9. Thanks in advance for any help.

HT5368 Why doesn't clicking on "Inactive Plug in" work after installing Java v10.6_35 update?

I've been using a Java app to view Autodesk files on the City of Los Angeles NavigateLA site. Basically, you enter a street address and get a specialized
map capable of retrieving land contours, Lot numbers, landslide areas, special zones, etc. I had been using this site since 2005 with no problems.
Lately I noticed that I couldn't retieve the maps, and got an "inactive Plug-in" prompt instead. I did a little research, then today I noticed that my iMac was prompting me for a software update, which was the Java v10/6 most recent update. According to the literature, this update would enable me to click on the "inactive Plug-in" prompt and then it would activate the Java applet. Well, I d/l'ed the update, checked through "preferences" to make sure that it was installed (on the plug-in list) and "checked-boxed", but still no dice.
My iMac is working well on all other programs/websites etc. Any and all help appreciated

UPDATE
Well, I figured it out. Apparently there has been security problems with Java, most people are tired of it or simply don't like it. Apple has made it so you have to go into Utilities and activate it as well. So you have to activate it on the computer as well as your Browser.
Simply downloading the update isn't enough........

Why are the back/forwards buttons no longer working after upgrade?

Hi, I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (I believe) to Firefox 4.0.1 and now the back and forwards buttons no longer work. I tried resetting the settings under the toolbars > customize, etc. That didn't work. FYI, I'm using a mac. Any solutions? Thanks in advance...

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why can't I type in any search boxes in firefox 3.6.12 on Windows 7 HP.

For the last several days, I cannot type a search term into the Google toolbar Search box, the Firefox search box, the Yahoo tool bar search box, or the address bar. When I click search, then a new page opens in a new tab in Google (this is my default search provider. I do NOT have this problem with the search boxes in IE 8. I am using a new Toshiba Satellite L675 with 4 GB RAM and an AMD Phenom dual core processor. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium for 64 bit computers. I have tried changing the option settings in Firefox and toolbar options. I am not sure what to do next because I do not know precisely what is causing the problem. My anti-virus is MSE and shows no viruses; Zone Alarm free Firewall shows no breaches; Antimalware Bytes Antimalware shows no problems, and neither does Super Anti-Spyware or Spybot. In short, my computer is clean. Please help! Also, for quite a while now, when I type a long entry in Firefox, it slows down and crashes due to a script error, which is not always displayed with an option to stop running the script. It is not the same script every time, and shutting down and restarting Firefox usually solves the problem. This problem also occurred in the last several versions of Firefox.

This issue can be caused by the Personas 1.6.0 extension. If you have it then update to Personas 1.6.1

I have google as my homepage. Is there a way to automatically have the insertion point go to the search box on the page in Firefox 4?

I have windows and have been using safari. It automatically goes to the search box when opening a new tab with google as the homepage. This is the actual search box on the page, not on the menu bar.

Do you really have Google as your home page or the default Firefox home page about:home ?
It should work with the www.google.com page.

When I right click to save a picture why doesn't the box come up to choose where to put it?
Or if I'm trying to upload a pic to a site say for instance a job site and trying to upload a resume and when I click on the button nothing happens.
This is very frustrating when I have a lot of time invested on the site I'm on and can't upload.

Ahh.. :)
A-Go to upper left corner and select preferences. In general tab,there is an option to ask everytime whenever you are going to put your downloading files.
B-Update your browser and reset it.Might be you are unable to upload because of viruses too. So make sure to scan your pc by a good antivirus. Okay? :)
Thank you for asking a question

Firefox only works after I re-boot my computer

I just got a new computer last week. It is running Windows 8 - 64 bit. I installed Firefox, used it for a week, set up my bookmarks, etc. and it worked fine. The other day when I logged in and opened Firefox, I couldn't click on anything - nothing would happen - it was like it was frozen. I went into Internet Explorer and also into Google Chrome and they both worked fine - I could click on things and it would do what it was supposed to do. So, I re-booted my computer and then Firefox worked fine. Same thing the next day, Firefox only worked after I re-booted my computer...and also today, same thing. Why is it frozen when I first go into it, but if I re-boot the whole computer, it works? Has me baffled. Any help would be appreciated, because it is my favorite browser. But if this keeps up, I won't be using it anymore. Thank you!
I have my home page set to Yahoo, so that's where it goes when I open it. When I get there, I can't click on my e-mail, nothing in the toolbar, it's totally frozen.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."
