Why won't firefox 3.6.6 store cookies any more?

i cleared my cookies on 10/08/10 and since then firefox won't store cookies for longer than a browser session. i have checked my settings and nothing has changed. the box for accept cookies is checked, as is the box for accept third party cookies. cookies are accepted until they expire.
no changes have been made to add-ons or extensions. no changes have been made to my os. i disabled java quickstarter and console because firefox was hanging around in the background even after the browser was closed (and it was annoying and sucking up ram).
i can't figure out why firefox is hating on the cookies all of a sudden. any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're welcome

Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep any more?

I upgraded to yosemite I a few days later I noticed that my mac pro (3.1 early 2008 dual 2.8 xeon processors, two sad's one hdd, 14GB memory) doesn't go to sleep any more. When I choose sleep from the Apple menu the displays go dark and it looks like it's sleeping, but the system is still humming along, as if a fan or an HDD is still spinning. I can shut it down just fine, but would really like just to have it go to sleep like it used to.
I also recently added a PCIe USB 3.0/eSATA card for external connections (From OWC, compatible with my system).
Any known issues that would cause this?

Hi ..
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver then click: Restore Defaults
Then select Sleep from the Apple  menu.
See if that makes a difference.
If not, reset the PRAM > OS X Yosemite: Reset your computer’s PRAM
BTW, if connected, external drives can prevent the Mac from going in to sleep mode.

Why won't firefox search?

Why won't firefox search when I type anything into the search bar? It lists everything I've typed in before but when you click search it just sits there doing nothing. If I use the search bar in the top right corner it searches just fine, but nothing from the central search line.
Also what is the line below this for? if I mouse over it I get a pointy finger, but it is blank and remains blank.

If you can't clear that saved form and search history then there may be nothing to clear.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Why won't Firefox won't download?

Why won't Firefox download? It completed the set up stage then stops.

If downloads hang at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause might be antivirus software which tries to scan the file and during that process hangs the Firefox instance.
In order to fix the problem, try disabling the scanning as follows:
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page. A list of settings should appear
# Filter the list by typing in the search bar at the top. Type in ''scanWhenDone''. '''You should now find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference'''.
#Double-click on that preference to set the value to ''false''.
#Next, try to download something and see if it still hangs.

Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easilly down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easily down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

Hotmail has been having a few hiccups lately I'm afraid.
If you don't see any emails when you log in, or nothing appears after some time, click in the middle of the grey bar on the left which has the word "'''Inbox'''" in it. This usually causes them to magically appear for some strange reason.
I've read on on a few blogs that Microsoft is working on the problem, but don't hold your breath. 
If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same problem.
Thanks.

Why won't FireFox 4 play mp3 files that have been created since the FF update? It will play mp3 files created prior to the FF update. All of the mp3 files have been created in the same manner, as bounces from Logic Pro 9. Thank you.

Hi David,
Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

Why won't Firefox allow access to leaving comments on the UK's Daily Telegraph site but Safari does?

I have Firefox 3.5.3 on my iBook running Mac OS 10.5.8 as well as Safari 5.0.3. I occasionally want to use the leave a comment facility on a newspaper site (the Daily Telegraph in the UK) but despite logging into my account I cannot do so. At first I thought it was a fault with the paper's website, but I fired up Safari and found there is no such problem. So the fault must lie with Firefox. Can this be true? And, if so, why?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why won't Firefox 5 work with Mail Chimp?

Why doesn't Firefox 5.x work with MailChimp. Edit screens and tools in MailChimp worked fine in Firefox 4.x, but not in Firefox 5.x. In Firefox file, the "edit" screens for the MailChimp email editor display blank pages with no tool bars. Have to go back to Internet Explorer 9.x or Google Chrome in order to edit in Mail Chimp.

Why won't Firefox suddenly won't display SoundSlides files -- new and ones displayed in the past? I've cleared history, cookies, etc. Also deleted and reinstall

Firefox will no longer display our university news website news.wsu.edu correctly, AND it will no longer display SoundSlides files that we have posted. See our front page at news.wsu.edu as well as SoundSlides example at http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1
Have tried deleting and reinstalling Firefox. Deleting all history, cookies, etc.

It works ok for me but then I am not using Flash 11.3 on Windows.
I can see http://news.wsu.edu/ ok
When I try http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1. I get a mainly blank page with an error message
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07' 
Error converting data type char to int. 
/Includes/SiteIncludes.asp, line 30
Possibly the link is not quite correct. (trailing dot ?)
Selecting a "sound slide" does however work ok for me I get a slide show with very loud music.

'''It appears it works for me. Possibly you have a problem because of Flash Player 11.3 use. You may find it works if you downgrade to FlashPlayer 11.2 or 10.3''' There have been known issues with FlashPlayer on Windows Firefox systems. Developers from Flash & Firefox have been working on the problem, but despite new updates to both FlashPlayer and Firefox in recent days, problems may still be occurring.
Note also there is a related but separate problem on some systems with RealPlayer. If you have Real Player installed please say so, and especially mention if that includes video download or recording options.
The current standard response to the Flash Player 11.3 (Windows Firefoz) problem is as follows, (but advice may change over the next few days):
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

This is the sort of thing that your own IT department may well be able to help offer advice on, and if it is the problem I suspect, then it is likely to impact on many site users.
They may also be interested in the possibility of deploying Firefox ESR for themselves and students.

Why won't Firefox play mp4 from my website using xplornet satellite?

I can play mp4's on my website using Firefox and dial in. When I try and use xplornet sattellite it doesn't see them .It will open wmv. If I use Explorer and teh satellite I can play them. Many people with different operating systems and browsers can play them.
What do I have to add, change or do for Firefox to play mp4 from my website? We have loaded the latest Firefox and it still doesn't work. It ha sto do with the satellite and Firefox. We must be missing some plug in, add on or something else.
thank You

Hello,
I think the problem is your OS. Firefox supports playback of H264 encoded video (mp4) but only where the ability to decode the stream is already included in the Operating System or in the hardware.
This means that it will work for Windows Vista and above but not for XP since XP doesn't include the decoder.
''"To avoid patent issues, support for MPEG 4, H.264, MP3 and AAC is not built directly into Firefox. Instead it relies on support from the OS or hardware. Firefox supports these formats on the following platforms: Platform Firefox version Windows 7+ 21.0 Windows Vista 22.0 Android 20.0 Firefox OS 15.0"''
See here for more:
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Supported_media_formats
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799318
I am not sure but it may work if you install the VLC plugin: https://wiki.videolan.org/Windows/#VLC_Plugin_for_Firefox_.28Mozilla.29
If you have control over the site then I suggest using a different Video format which is not patent encumbered. The webm format is one option:

I hope this helps.

Why won't firefox keep me logged in on mozilla website?

I came here, registered, went to email, clicked activation link. error reported with link, with suggestion that I clicked wrong link, but it's the ONLY link in the email.
Came back to mozilla site, tried my login and p/w...surprise!..got logged in!
No checkbox for keeping me logged in automatically everytime I visit mozilla site, but FF will remember login details, si I have to click 'sign in' link everytime, which wouldn't be so bad, but when I'm trying to reply to somebody having issues that I've had before, it becomes more than just a minor nuisance having to reload the page yet again.
Is this an intenional thing with mozilla to not have their own browser not automatically logging into it's own site?
Is it a site upgrade/suggestion thing?
Either way, it's almost enough to make me wonder just what you guys smoke when you design webpages, cos I thought this was supposed to be a "personal, customisable' browser that automatically signed in when visiting a page.
There's not even an option for it on the profile page.
I am the only one using my computer, so I see no point in NOT allowing it to happen.
Is this auto sign in never going to happen for this site, or is it going to be implemented in the near future?
