Why is Firefox not included in a number of key functions

I find, especially on the PC but the Mac also that Firefox is left out of a number of things to activate functions and one system went so far as to say due to Firefox's limitations etc but I've had now on numerous occassions this happen.
Is Firefox not as robust as the other browsers;
Thanks
Kerry

The Screencasts site checks your browser and blocks Firefox. If I lie to the site and tell it I'm using Chrome, then the video plays for me on Windows 7. As you can see in the screenshot attached, it's an MP4 video, and that probably explains why they're blocking Firefox.
To make a long story short, Firefox does not include certain patented technologies required for playing MP4s without a plugin, and depends on software on your system. On Windows, native MP4 support was added in 2013 (more recently for XP), and for Linux it was added this year.
I think native MP4 support for Mac is still in the works. But the site ''could'' play MP4 on Mac using a plugin. I guess they prefer to have you download it rather than do that, which is not very convenient.

Why does Firefox not include FOX NEWS in their pre-loaded "News" tab on the toolbar???

There are 9 different "news" sources. It seems that everybody is so biased against Fox News, yet they produce legitimate news as every other network. Please change this, Firefox, for all your users.

Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.

Why does Firefox not work here in China anymore, since January of 2015?

I have used Firefox for years, as the fastest and most reliable browser for me, esp in China... not anymore! Last month (unknown to me) a hijacker called Vosteran took over my Firefox browser. I finally realized it and got it cleaned up using Malwarebytes anti-malware, and downloaded a new Firefox... now SAME problem exists, even with Vosteran removed!
Firefox will not allow me into ANY normal sites, saying they don't have the proper security code. This includes my Yahoo front page, email account, ESPN and other common sites that are certainly NOT dangerous. So, WHY does Firefox not work anymore? It is useless to me here in China the way it works now.

hello rickinchina, first please make sure that the '''date, time & timezone''' are set correctly on your system and that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet (that's the "'''no proxy'''" setting in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'').
if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
* what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page (but don't do it for real) and inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
* which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!

Why Morocco is not included in AppStore ?

Why Morocco is not included in AppStore's list of countries? Algeria, Tunisia, Kenya, Mali, Mauritius are there !

Sorry, but that's how it is. Unfortunately, I've know a few people who moved to Morocco after being spoiled elsewhere, then suddenly finding themselves with no usable iTS accout.
You'll simply have to wait until the day this opens up in Morocco.
There could be an exception made if you're stationed there as part of the Army from another country.

Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Why does IBA not include the table of contents when exporting to PDF?

Why does IBA not include the table of contents when exporting in PDF? I can seee the TOC in iBooks Author but when I want to see what it looks like in a regular PDF, the TOC does not show up.

Strange question you ask here. Not sure why that is relevant to "why" IBA won't publish a table of contents in a PDF.
But since eyou asked, it's simple, I want to author some books in IBA and also see what they look like - completed - in PDF. Again, any suggestions as to a work around so I don't have to cut and paste back into Pages?

Why is elements not included in creative cloud membership?

Why are photoshop elements and premiere elements not included in the 50 euro per month creative cloud membership? I thought this fee would entitle you to use all Adobe programs.

Adobe is clear on what's included in the Cloud - and it's never been all Adobe software. Mainly the software previously included in the Creative Suite Master Collection.

Why Cyprus is not included in "Unlimited Europe" s...

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am user of Skype the last 2 and half years having an "Unlimited Europe" Subscription. 1) Today I discovered that calls to Cyprus are not included in my subscription. I would like to know why you use the name "Unlimited Europe" for the subscription? Do you consider Cyprus as non EU Member State? In any case I consider the name of your product totaly misleading and I would like at least an explanation by yourside for this. When I subscribed I was planing to have unlimited calls to Cyprus also!
2) Why should the customer looking for a form of complain for about 10 minutes? Could you please make an accesible form of complain for your customer? I am looking forward hearing from you.
Kind regards,

I completely agree. Cyprus is and always has been in Europe so the Skye unlimited subscription o Europe should include Cyprus. Indeed, the so called TRNC is also in Europe and is considered by the European Union to be part of Cyprus (although currently illegally occupied). The telephone code should not be what determines geography.
When I spent several months recently in Africa I continued to pay my Skype subscription as I was entirely happy to continue to support Skype although I was very unlikely to be able to take advantage of the service because of poor internet connections. Now that I discover I cannot plan a trip to Cyprus using Skype I think I will be looking at VIBER and at least reducing my Skype subscription.

Why is FrameMaker not included in Creative Cloud?

I have made the abbonement Creative Cloud and afterwards I have discovered that Frame Maker is not included. Why?

We do not work for Adobe. It is obviously a marketing decison. They think they will in the long run make more money for leaving it out of the CC. However, it can be purchases through a subscription plan similar to the CC.
