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 won't Firefox agree that I've updated? Really, I have.

    I've downloaded and installed 8.0.1 more than twice but I still get " You are not using the latest version" on the home page.

    Yes you are using Firefox 8.0.1. Actually Firefox 9.0 is current at mozilla.com
    In Firefox go to "Tools->Options->General ->Homepage"
    If it is says http://www.google.com/firefox similar then there is your issue. You can either keep that as homepage and ignore the old version message or change it to another site or make it as '''about:home''' if you want a similar page (it will not have old version message).

  • 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.<br><br>

  • Why won't iTunes accept Jim French Productions as an artist?

    I am interested in purchasing single episodes of radio dramas from Jim French Productions through iTunes. I noticed that iTunes (via Audible) sells Jim French Productions collections in the Audiobook store, but audiobooks are not available for redownloading on any idevice. You can only download them once and must sync all your devices to one computer.
    So, the perfect solution for both Jim French Productions AND iTunes is to accept them as artists and allow them to sell their episodes in singles or full albums of multiple tracks. I have contacted them and they said iTunes and Apple continue to reject their submissions. And that is just preventing me from giving you both money. And I would probably buy them all if I could buy them as music tracks where I could download them to any device without syncing.
    So, why won't iTunes accept Jim French Productions as an artist? And what else can be done to get them accepted?

    (I'm not affiliated with them in any way. I'm just tired of buying audiobooks on iTunes that I can't easily access and buying episodes through JFP website where I have to add to my iTunes and then sync devices. I just want to buy single episodes of a show that I enjoy listening to very much.)

    I know I'm talking to iTunes users here, which I hope would include some iTunes employees since I don't know how to reach them. Apple's website makes it near impossible to actually talk one-on-one with anyone who matters. Makes sense. It just leads to threads like this.
    Jim French does have audiobooks on iTunes and they are through Audible. I mentioned that. The only problem is that if you buy those on iTunes, you can't redownload them on other devices like you can with music. I know this. I've purchased many audiobooks and I HATE that system. And I dislike Audible's DRM. I want to buy audio content (whether it's music or books) and be able to access it on any device without having to sync devices, but ALSO have it backed up so I can listen 20 years from now without paying $20 for it again then.
    So, I'm reaching out here in case some iTunes employee might be able to shed some light on why a company that iTunes has allowed to sell audiobooks (through Audible) on the iTunes Store won't allow them to sell individual tracks in the music section. There are tons of other albums of Old Time Radio shows in album form in the music section. So why not them?!
    Thanks for meaning well and trying to help.

  • 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 elements accept my youtube credentials?

    Why won't elements accept my youtube credentials?

      There have been problems with sites such as YouTube, Smugmug and Facebook.
    Unfortunately Adobe is behind the curve when it comes to social networking.
    My advice is to upload directly until Adobe can guarantee reliability.
     

  • Why won't Apple accept debit cards?  I ordered 2 new iPhones at ATT on Monday using my debit card.  I was just notified by ATT that Apple wont accept debit cards so my order cannot go through.  I don't use credit cards so I don't carry debt!

    Why won't Apple accept debit cards to buy an iPhone 5?  I ordered 2 new iPhones at ATT on Monday using my debit card.  I was just notified by ATT that Apple wont accept debit cards so my order cannot go through.  I don't use credit cards so I don't carry debt!  They (ATT) re-emphasized this is not their policy, but Apple's and that I would have the same problem if I went to Verizon.  Is this really the policy and if so why?  Apple has no problems accepting debit cards for my iTunes account?!

    I think this is an AT&T thing not an Apple policy, I had this battle with them before when the 4s came out.So this time I went directly to the Apple stor, I had no problem pre-ordering my Iphone5 on the 14th with my debit card, already shipped will be here the 21st. I'd go straight to the Apple store and purchase them there...

    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 my Mac with Mt Lion update my calendar and address book through iCloud

    Why won't my Mac w Mt Lion update mt Calendar and Address book through the Icloud?

    Are you really still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as shown in your profile? If so, that's why. Full use of iCloud needs at least Lion 10.7.2 or Mountain Lion.
    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion and forgot to update your profile, here are some things to check:
    Is it on a network?
    Is it signed into iCloud? The same iCloud Account?
    Are Contacts and "Calendars & Reminders" checked in the iCloud and same account's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" panels of System Preferences?
    Are you looking at the correct accounts in Calendar and Contacts?
