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".

What's the difference between RSS and Atom feeds?
I just figured out the RSS thing, which is great. However, when I go to sign up for a RSS feed, I am often given a choice between RSS, Atom, sometimes different versions of RSS. What's the difference between all these? (I tried searching, but was unsuccessful.) How do I make a choice?
Another question, can someone see that I have signed up for RSS feed from their site?Hi again,
but how do people decide which one to use for subscribing?
People can choose whichever one they want - Safari supports both RSS and Atom, other applications on OS X (and Microsoft Windows, Linux, etc) may only work with RSS or Atom so by publishing in multiple formats they can be fairly sure that everyone can read the content.
And how can you see who has subscribed to an RSS feed from your site?
They will be able to see the IP address of the requester in just the same way as they can when you load a webpage - there's no difference in how the RSS/Atom data is requested sent over the internet compared to HTML webpages. -
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.

JSF scroller component Frustration why isn't component rendering in jspx.
Based originally on Sun Microsystem's OWN "Components Demo" this tag library is for the custom
components used in the Virtual Sports Trainer Example Demo. Found inside the book "The Complete Reference JavaServer Faces". Which coincidentally was written by Sun's own Chris Schalk and Ed Burns. I"m having problems getting this component to work (render inside a jspx document). Any insight as to why or how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. And I just want to gain any insight or feedback as to why it's not displaying the t:scroller component. Thats all. I'm displaying the jspx document below a SINGLE jspx document. As I know anything more than 200 lines scares everybody. The cusomtom scroll component/pagination is at the bottom t:scroll. I can only display snippets of the jspx for brevity and the character limit.

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).

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.....
bMozilla 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. -
With Firefox 4.x, when I added a feed, it would open NewsFox in a new tab, and bring up a dialog box with info about that feed. I would click on "test this feed" and it would put all available items into NewsFox. Now, I get this dialog box with Open or Save. If I click on Open (declaring Firefox as the preferred app), then it opens the feed itself, it doesn't add it to NewsFox. I've tried going into Options and about:config but don't see anything to change that would fix this problem. I tried Search in Firefox Help but no relevant threads came up.
Thanks Cor-El. I already have it set to "Use NewsFox." I'm stumped.

Hi
We’re making arrangements to set up an iTunesU store for our university. We're also building a sql database which will publish our media content through to our CMS and build the web feeds. So I need to ensure the web feeds are compliant with iTunes U.
I understand that iTunesU will accept rss and atom feeds but that atom is the preferred format because it affords the publisher the option of specifying multiple media types in a single feed item. i.e. in an atom feed you could specify multiple mp3's or an mp3, mp4, m4v etc in a single feed item. Is that correct?
Also, can you point me to examples of well formed iTunes U atom and rss feeds? Perhaps you have some example feeds on the Apple website?
ThanksAs always, standard disclaimers apply, I defer to Duncan for an official reply.
I would not say that RSS is preferred to Atom necessarily. Rather, the basic consideration for the iTunes U admin is what each of those feeds "maps" to within iTunes U. In iTunes U, an RSS feed can be made to map to a group (that is, a tab within a course). An Atom feed, on the other hand, maps to a whole course and creates groups (tabs) as required by the feed. Often, within a course, you create tabs to match media types ("Video", "Audio", "PDF", etc.). But in principle, and so far as I know, the course-to-Atom feed mapping can be anything that is logical…that "makes sense"…for your site.
In effect, Atom gives the iTunes U admin a very simple way to automate the creation of a course and link it to a single (Atom) feed. In the past, an admin would first have to create the course, then tabs, then link each tab to a separate RSS feed. -
I use sites with pdf's a lot. Why isn't pdf viewing built into Firefox? The extensions can't keep up with your rapid upgrade program.

So, the upload time will vary on internet connection. If there is an issue with how fast it is uploaded you can check if prefetching is turned on, but this does not really affect uploading [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Controlling_DNS_prefetching Controlling DNS prefetching]
If you search for solutions, you will see a bunch of tweaks as well that may be helpful to your specific computer. [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]] to make sure you are all up to date as well. -
I have Firefox 3.6, with certain add-ons that I use frequently. The main one being Tab Sidebar. I like this add on because I know what tabs I have open specifically (God forbid you have two tabs open from the same site on normal tabs) with the window preview to the side. I like this because it saves me time and I love how easy it is to navigate my tabs. However, this add-on is not supported in Firefox 4.0. I guess I can just wait until the developer (if he ever) makes a newer compatible version, but why isn't this option automatically offered through firefox? I think I'm going to stay with 3.6 until the kinks are worked out.
hello, i think that this was an intentional change to have more space for website content - i don't know a way around that unfortunately...

I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?
It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now. -
Why isn't my browser supported?
One of the challenges of delivering desktop-quality software
inside a browser is, well, the browser itself. For more details on
our approach to browser support, its challenges, etc. please see
the posting on the Acrobat.com blog.
http://blogs.adobe.com/acom
Browsers aren't all the same, and there is a fair amount of
work to get things working right, especially with keyboard
shortcuts and the clipboard. We've focused on the most common
browsers first: Firefox (Mac & Windows), Internet Explorer 6
and 7, and Safari 3.
For example: We’d like to follow convention and provide
the typical Cmd-B shortcut to make text bold. However, Firefox on
the Mac uses Cmd-B to open bookmarks in the sidebar; so Buzzword
was forced to use Ctrl-B for making text bold.
For
Firefox under Linux, we're providing limited support. We
have done some testing and we believe it works well, but we're
interested in your feedback. Please be sure to upgrade to the
latest Linux version of Flash Player 9 available at
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer,
and also be sure to adjust your preferences as described in the
initial page you'll see when visiting the application in Firefox
under Linux.
Other browsers may work (Opera, Camino, etc.) to some extent,
but we can’t make assurances that all functions will work.
We appreciate hearing from users who want to give Buzzword a
spin under non-supported browsers, as it helps us focus our efforts
and testing.Hi,
After trying Opera AND Firefox to post a reply to "Why isn't my browser supported?" I'm now using IE (7 not 8 - that's not working, too!). Maybe that's the first thing that should work in all browsers - the forum.
The second thing, and that's why I originally wanted to post something here, is that I had problems typing "&" and "/" in Opera. They don't seem to be at the same key as usual. (I have a german keyboard...):
Shift + ^1234567890ß´
Key (normal): °!“§$%&/()=?`
Key (buzzword): ^!@#$%^&*()ß`
Additionally everything seems a little bit slow...
Regards,
Ireen -
I simply want to make a copy of all of my wife's "Favorites", i.e. your Bookmarks. In FireFox, PrntScrn won't do it, Windows "Snippets" won't do it, and any HELP answers I've seen are hidiously complex. The need/desire to have a paper copy or Word copy of her bookmarks (of course, WITH URL's) seems completely, blatantly obvious. Why all the secrecy? Why isn't there a MENU item to make a copy of the list of Bookmarks??
And no, I'm not going to try AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN to do the Export/HTLM solution, whatever that means. Sheesh. I'm 10 minutes into FireFox and I'm ready to go back to I.E.So you are trying to import bookmarks from IE?
