Why is my wireless disconnecting frequently when using Safari but not Firefox.

Ever since upgrading to the latest Apple Software on my iMac, I have been experiencing wireless disconnection but just on Safari. Also HTML images in emails are not loading. Firefox works fine.

Hi Sebaz, first try repairing permissions. Go to Applications-->Utilities-->select Disk Utility. Select your drive then select the First Aid button then at the bottom right click Verify Disk and after it verifies your drive click on Verify Disk Permissions on the left. If there any errors click on Repair Disk Permission. Reboot your machine and test your Safari to see if the issue comes back.

U/tube videos open when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox.

u/tube videos open fine when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox. With Firefox I get the unhighlighted Quicktime symbol with a question mark in the center. WHY?? Any help appreciated --- Toroya

Hmmmm, strange you view YouTube in Safari & not FF. Which version of FF are you using?
Try the following:
Repair permissions & restart.
Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.

Firefox throws "This Connection is Untrusted" when using hostname, but not when using IP address

I am remotely accessing a website which has iFrame in it. The website uses https, but iFrame tag has "src" pointing to a site using http only. However, when I remotely go to the site, iFrame shows the message below although the ''src" url is http only (there is no SSL certificate) when I use IP address (https://10.10.101.156:8006/apprecovery/admin/Core/Storage) in address bar instead of hostname (https://hostname:8006/apprecovery/admin):
===
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to d37t50w1, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
d37t50w1 uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
(Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)
===
Why is it giving this when using hostname but not when IP address is using?

Corrected first para above:

However, when I remotely go to the site, iFrame shows the message below although the "src" url is http only (there is no SSL certificate) when I use hostname address (https://<hostname>:8006/apprecovery/admin) in address bar. But I dont see the message in iFrame when I instead use IP Address (https://<IP Address>:8006/apprecovery/admin) to go to main website.

After I installed the recent Apple security patch, I can no longer save PDFs when using Safari. And Firefox no longer can open website PDFs. Any suggestions?

If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder. Restart Safari. If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
Thanks. This was the solution for me.

Why does Yahoo! Mail freeze when using Safari?

For over a month now everytime I try to use Yahoo Mail in the Safari browser, the entire broswer freezes and I am forced to quit and reload all other pages I was viewing. Yahoo Mail works fine on every other browser, which is why I believe it is a Safari issue. Normally, I have no issues with Safari, but with Yahoo Mail it is nothing but problems. The page will load just fine, and maybe allow you to open a couple emails, but if you try to do more than that it will freeze, give you the spinning rainbow, and all other tabs open will go blank. All the software on my macbook are up-to-date.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Details
Type yahoo in the search field then click Remove All / Done.
Back to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
And one more time, go to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select the top 5 buttons, click Reset.
Restart your Mac. Try Yahoo mail.
If you continue to have problems with Yahoo mail via Safari, there's an alternative. You can setup your Yahoo account in the pre installed Mac Mail application.
Launch Mail, either from your Dock or the Applications folder.
From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click + under the Accounts list on the left.
Type in your name, your Yahoo user name and password then click Create.
Now instead of having to deal with web based email via a browser, just click your Mac Mail icon in your Dock. When you have unread mail available you'll see a red badge Mail icon in the Dock.

Why can I get a full Yahoo window using Safari but not using Firefox?

I've suddenly lost the Yahoo website when I try to access it using Firefox, but access works perfectly when I use Safari,

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], choose History, and then "Clear Recent History...".
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the "Clear Now" button.
Further information can be found in the [[Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Why is target="mainFrame" for my buttons created in Dreamweaver CS6working in Safari but not Firefox

I created a site in Dreamweaver CS6 - http://rootsnation.com
The navigation buttons work perfectly in Safari, guiding the selected pages to the desired frame called mainFrame, but in Firefox they open in new windows.The code appears to be correct so I have no idea why Firefox isn't working with my files correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hotmail redirect my page if I use safari but not with Firefox

Once I login into Hotmail using safari I am redirected to a hotmail black page. This started after opening an e-mail from a trustable source. If I use firefox I do not have any problem.
I reset safari, cancelled all the cookies, deleted all the cache from Safari,. I deleted from the library extension of finder and mine the documents from the following folder: cookies, LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons with no lack.
Any solution?
Apple support wanted 35 pounds and I was on a 0845 number as well!!!
I found the solution: I ditched Safari and started to use Firefox. I can now read my e-mails

Did you check the volume setting in the player to make sure that the sound isn't muted?

Why does my Mac shut down when using Safari?

Every once in a while (randomly) my mac will reboot due to an error even when I only have the Safari Application open. How can I stop my mac from doing this. I have the 2011 macbook pro 13 inch with the latest OS (Mountain Lion). Everything is up to date but why does it keep shutting down?

Why is "Choose File" greyed out when using Safari on an iPad?

I'm an Apple newbie, being in the PC World for a long time and have just got an iPad.
I use a number of websites which I upload content to by way of word docs, pdfs, presentations etc. Usually Safari on a PC or MAC has a "choose file" button where the file is selected for upload, however on my iPad this is greyed out...?
I have both transferred docs and presentations to the iPad via iTunes and created them on the iPad using Pages and Keynote but still the button is greyed out.
I hope it is something I am doing wrong or an incorrect setting rather than a "feature" of iPads.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Can you give an example? The app GoodReader has a function where you enter a URL and it will download the item. A lot of times in safari when you touch a download it will give you an option to copy the address. That copies it to the clipboard when you can then paste it in the GoodReader app.

Why does "the connection is not trusted" turns up on every site when using FF but not Safari?

Started yesterday. I have reinstalled FF three times - but it's still happening. Every site I try to use it will lead me to this. Google, Facebook, hotmail etc

Database connections must be either through an ODBC connection or the form must be certified in Acrobat. This is due to security concerns. You can view the Help topic "To create a data connection to an OLE database" for more info.
I'm not sure why you cannot create the connection using the ODBC Driver. I've done this many times myself. Is the mdb file read-only, or does it require credentials to connect?

Pictures do not show in body of message using hotmail. They are there when I use IE, but not firefox

In many Hotmail messages, I do not see pictures that are sent in the body of text. Don't have them as attachedments either. The pictures DO appear in same messages when I use Internet Explorer. - This is on my Win7 PC. On my older machine running WixXP the pictures do show up using firefox.

I actually did one other thing I hadn't done yet....I had opened the "Add-ons" section of Firefox, noticed there was an add-on I actually never placed there, called something like "Shopanywhere.com" I believe. Once I disabled it, restarted Firefox, reopened the Add-ons, and then removed it. Restarted Firefox once more, now the ads are gone completely. Did another clean sweep with my 3 awesome adware/virus protection programs and have no more issues. Thanks for the help!

[SOLVED] Hibernate works when using rmmod, but not SUSPEND_MODULES

I've been having trouble hibernating (or suspending) an ASUS U36JC laptop.
Running pm-suspend causes the computer to hang on a blank screen with
an unblinking cursor. I have found that this is caused by two modules not
suspending properly, ath9k and ehci_hcd.
Using rmmod to remove the modules makes suspend work:
# rmmod ath9k
# rmmod ehci_hcd
# pm-suspend # Suspend will now work
So I created a file /etc/pm/config.d/modules containing the line:
SUSPEND_MODULES="ath9k ehci_hcd"
But in this setup (without using rmmod) the original problem is back!
The computer hangs on a blank screen with an unblinking cursor after
I run suspend.
The log file /var/log/pm-suspend.log shows that the modules are unloaded:
Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/75modules suspend suspend:
Unloading kernel module echi_hcd...Done.
Unloading kernel module ath9k...Done.
What could be causing the SUSPEND_MODULES solution to fail when the
rmmod solution works?
Thanks,

Interesting question, I don't have an answer.
But: Did you retype the output above, or is the log really calling it "echi_hcd" ??

On a Macbook Pro, I cannot print web pages with Firefox v 3.6.13. I can print if I use Safari, but no Firefox. Any ideas??

When I try to print, it does not even appear to "connect" to the printer software. Normally, a printer icon will pop up in the taskbar, but this does not happen with Firefox. Also, in Mac, you have the option of saving the webpage as a pdf document. When I try it, it only results in a blank page. The Browser that comes with a Mac, Safari, works fine and prints. Not sure if it's a setting in Firefox or something else.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4+ versions.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
* browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
* browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
* browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
* browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
* browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)
