Why isn't Firefox accepting my graphics driver version?

I am trying to get Firefox 11 to turn on hardware acceleration, but it's complaining that my up-to-date driver is blocked. "about:support" says "Blocked for your graphics driver version. Try updating your graphics driver to version 257.21 or newer."
I'm running XP SP3 fully updated and a GeForce 7300 LE with the latest driver version 296.10.

If you go into about:support, can you copy the exact text that appears in the graphics section? (or take a screenshot).

Hello, & a warm welcome to the Forums & Macdom!
Might try one of these...
Instead of joining it from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed. Before I went through network diagnostics and all of that stuff in system preferences, and then I tried the "Join Other Network" method, and now it works like a dream.

X230 keeps rebooting after update of Intel(R) HD Graphics Driver Version 8.15.10.2696

Hi,
i just got a new x230. I finished the first time setup and ran the thinkvantage system update utility. It listed the Intel(R) HD Graphics Driver Version 8.15.10.2696 as an optional update, so i ran it.
After it completes and restarts, the system will just cold boot once it gets to the user login screen. Is this a wrong driver for the x230?
thanks.

Hello x230user,
It is the correct driver for the X230 and Windows 7 but it might have downloaded the wrong bit OS for your computer.
Are you able to uninstall the driver? If possible please boot into safe mode and uninstall the graphics driver.
Please let me know what OS you are using and I will post the correct links. Is it a 33 bit or 64 bit OS?
Hope this helps,
Alex

Yoga 13 users - what is your graphics driver version after the Windows 8.1 upgrade?

I just noticed something interesting - it looks like the Windows 8.1 installation installed a very new version of the graphics driver. Mine is showing as version 10.18.10.3316, dated 10/1/2013 (Oct 1).
Anyone else seeing this?
I should mention that I had previously updated the graphics driver about a month ago using Intel's generic HD 4000 driver. To do that, I just went to the Intel site and ran their driver update tool from the browser - it scans your machine for Intel hardware and displays available updates. This driver tool recognized my HD 4000 and updated the driver. But the Windows 8.1 installation updated to an even newer version.
I'm wondering if my previous update was a factor in why I have this updated graphics driver, or is everyone seeing this?

I guess you're asking 8.1 users, but i must say that intel upgrade seemed to help my 8.0... thanks for the heads up.

Why isn't Firefox rendering RSS or Atom feeds?

Firefox used to style RSS/Atom feeds when they were accessed directly by URL, and if not, would at least display the raw XML source. But for many versions now, maybe since the RSS icon was removed, visiting any feed will only show a subscribe now button with a pulldown list of helper apps, but zero content, as if the feed was empty. However, viewing source for the page shows the XML. And this isn't an issue of a bad feed, since I ran several of them through the W3C validator and they passed. I also experience this issue with a clean profile and no addons. Is there any way of showing feed content again, preferably styled?

''There is still an RSS feed icon available, but it is in the Customize palette and you need to drag it on a toolbar yourself.''
The icon is not an issue. It is the feed content that doesn't work for me.
''Are there any errors in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer)?''
YES! This is what it shows when run on every feed I try in safe mode:
TypeError: this._feedWriter is null subscribe.js:21
Use of Mutation Events is deprecated. Use MutationObserver instead. menulist.xml:240
uncaught exception: out of memory
TypeError: this._feedWriter is null subscribe.js:17
''What does the page inspector show if you right-click the space where the feed content should be?''
An empty element. This is the entire content from the inspector: http://pastebin.com/f0hkn9VD
''Is there a feedBody DIV and a feedContent DIV?''
Yes, see paste above.
''What is the setting for Web Feed in Firefox > Preferences > Applications''
The default "preview in firefox".

Why isn't Firefox playing any streaming videos anymore?...On youtube or wherever I go the audio keeps going but the actual video just skips and freezes up the computer..

Any video that is viewable on the internet(youtube, flash, etc.) does not play in Firefox. The video is shown and everything but when I click it the audio begins playing normally and the actual video itself skips horribly and my computer begins to freeze up.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== After my little brother crashed my computer a few days ago(blue screen and everything).

Why isn't Firefox 9.0.1 not allowing me to access my Fedtraveler site? I get the same message from Safari..that's why I downloaded FF.

Unable to open my Fedtraveler web site due to message about incompatible browser message that seems to be a continual problem coming from Firefox based on other posts by different patrons of your service. Yet Firefox indicates MAC users can only open certain sites with Firefox only. I think the FF administrators and IT folks need to seriously take a look at their application and get the issue resolved.
I've posted the message below in the 'troubleshooting' field. Please get this fixed asap. I need to access some FF claims can only be opened with them if using a MAC.

*FIREFOX* is still giving this same message to MAC users: 9.0.1 is the latest version as of January 2012.

Why won't Firefox accept a "continue button", update shopping cart, or allow pieces to move in a game puzzle?

Stats: Intel iMac, running 10.6, Firefox 4 and now 8
This started happening about 2 months ago, first with Barnes and Noble trying to buy an item, then on Southwest.com for the puzzle pieces in a contest, and today on Jacquie Lawson cards with Preview. On Martha Stewart's website for the daily cookie recipe, the picture and Print function have disappeared. I will describe each one.
1. On the Barnes and Noble site, I can search and put an item in the Shopping Cart. However, if I want to change the item/Update OR complete the purchase, the gear just spins and spins. I have to quit Firefox and use Safari.
2. Southwest is running a 6 week contest. The past 2 weeks involve dragging a label to a suitcase and moving puzzle pieces around to complete a picture. I could not drag any items in both contests. So the entries for 2 weeks could not be submitted.
3. On Martha Stewart's website, a recipe with food picture and a Print function no longer appear. This is a new behavior since upgrading to FF8. Here is the URL http://www.marthastewart.com/344826/pumpkin-whoopie-pies-with-cream-cheese-f?xsc=eml_cod_2011_11_10&om_rid=Nsg6jH&om_mid=_BOu9CwB8eBVWzk
4. On Jacque Lawson's site. you can personalize a card, then Preview it. The Preview button did not work. http://www.jacquielawson.com/sendcard.pd

Could you test the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Why isn't firefox a choice for a browser on public library computers?

>>without admin. library credentials-(they will not change it for me)- one cannot open nor download firefox as a browser----but they have the compromised internet explorer microsoft and do more evil google chrome frontloaded--- library discrimination?-prejudice?, free speech and privacy-- oh my what a waiting lawsuit!--unlevel playing field here---imagine all the people that could enjoy your browser if the ceo sent a letter to all public libraries.....

Mozilla doesn't limit Firefox downloads on ANY machine.
Your local library most likely has downloads of external software heavily locked down meaning you can only use what the library's administrator lets you. Mozilla is not in control of what organizations do with their computers.
Mozilla nor we (mostly all of us are fellow Firefox users volunteering our time) can change your library's decision to support Firefox.

I'm having trouble activating CS6 Design Premium with a VALID product Code and a VALID previous version code, CS 5.5 Design Premium. Why isn't it accepted?

I purchased CS6 Design Premium directly from Adobe, upgrading from CS5.5 Design Premium. Now it won't acknowledge my valid previous version serial number. And I have the original documentation.
What should I do? I can use the trial version, but that is not the solution I need.

First you should check your Adobe account online to confirm that you are using the same serial number associated with your older version.
If things still lok okay then you will need to get in touch with Adobe support thru chat and see if you can get their help in resolving the matter. They might not be available during the weekend.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Why isn't Photoshop accepting my serial number?

I had Photoshop CS4 installed on my laptop for two years without any major issues. The laptop recently broke so I got a new one and I cannot install Photoshop there because it says my serial number is invalid. How can this be? It worked fine before and the number is clearly printed on the DVD case.

Since this is a serial number issue you can't post serials in public forums, I would do one-on-one chat support for activation:
http://adobe.ly/DI_Install_Activation_Chat
Where did you purchase your copy of Photoshop? My one concern is that the serial #/product was counterfeit:

Question about newer graphic driver version for Satellite A series

Hi!
Probably I'm not the first and last one who will ask: is there going to be any actualization for the display drivers, because the one that are on the driver-homepage of Toshiba are v8.4.0.0 form 2006 :( For example: Far Cry (1 not 2).
Nearly 2/3 of the landscape is black (when I say black, a mean BLACK). And that's not all. Timeshift wouldn't start at all (yes, I know the card will not support full graphics, but I've played games with much better graphic on my PC at home (with GeForce 5200 128MB).
Good think it was just a demo.
Can't imagine what "nice" surprise it would be if someone gives a 40-50$ for a game and finds out he can't play it because of the drivers.
Had just tried trails of some programs for 3D animation...Well, only problems :-/
Another program told me in a straight line - drivers not up do date.
Updating drivers will fix most graphical issues etc....
Thanks for the help in advance.

What Satellite model dou you have?
As Akuma said, you can try modified drivers or drivers that are not from Toshiba. But with these drivers you could get more problems as now.
As far as I know the games need a lot of power and a Satellite notebook was not made for computer games. The Qosimo series is ideal for playing games.
If you want to play games on a Satellite notebook, you should not set high quality settings in game. It runs better when you play with lower settings.
