Why won't Firefox let me use the 'Enlarge' feature on E bay, when other browsers will?

Firefox will not let me use the feature 'Enlarge' when trying to view products on E bay. It does allow me to use the 'zoom' feature which is odd that it will do one thi9ng, but not the other. I have no problem using the 'enlarge' feature when I use Opera, Sea Monkey or IE7.

Firefox should not modify the Windows mouse settings; that is troubling.
If this problem started around the time of Firefox 30, perhaps it's this:
Firefox 30 switched many plugins from "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate". The purpose of this change was to require your permission for untrusted sites to use plugins. However, some plugins that affect the user interface and/or operate globally on all pages do not work well with this setting and unpredictable UI breakage can result.
Could you review your plugins as follows:
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Then I suggest:
* For "in-page"/"player" plugins like Flash, Silverlight, or Java, no changes are needed
* For global plugins like fingerprint readers or security software, switch to either:
** "Always Activate" if you use this plugin on a regular basis
** "Never Activate" if this plugin is not important or very rarely used
If in doubt, set "Never Activate".
This might not take effect immediately in the current window, but should work in new windows, or after you exit and restart Firefox.
Any difference?

HT1338 Why won't my computer pick up the wireless in my home? All other computers in my home can get internet

Why won't my computer pick up the wireless in my home? All other computers in my home can get the internet.

Turn Off your computer. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your computer. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Why won't websites I visit stay the way I set them up when I use Firefox?

As an example: When I go to MSNBC I set the number of articles for different subjects and they revert to default every time I open firefox. This does not happen with IE. Another is I have to log in to get to my hotmail & Gmail account every time I re-enter the browser. Please help .
Thanks, Nicholas

You have accidentally told Firefox not to remember cookies, or to refuse them.
Cookies are small text files that websites use to store information used by them, such as your session ID (so you can "remember" sessions), a tracking ID (used by ad platforms to offer you personalised advertisements), or simply few preferences websites have.
This cookies are sometimes abusive (for example, the tracking IDs), so some users may want to disable them.
In order to tell Firefox to allow cookies again, go to Firefox/Options (Edit/Preferences), privacy tab and choose Firefox will: "Remember history" in the combo box.
If you tried to disable browser history, that's the reason for which you have this problem. In that case you want firefox not to remember your browsing history, choose Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" and uncheck "Always use private browsing mode" and "Clear history when Firefox closes" and check the "Accept cookies from websites" checkbox.

Why won't Firefox let me access Google when it is in the tool bar anyway?

I set the browser to open at Google and at first, I had no problem, but now Firefox is blocking me accessing the site, saying it is unsafe and will cause harm to my computer. I have used this site for years and had no problem, so why is this happening, please. Chris Keys

Hi Chris, if you have never seen that error before, the issuer chain is what connects the site's SSL certificate with a globally trusted certificate. Typically one or more "intermediate" certificates are involved and the server needs to send those to the browser. Novice webmasters sometimes forget, but with Google, that seems unlikely. We should consider other possibilities.
(1) Cache mismatch
You can clear Firefox's cache of previously retrieved pages (not history but the files themselves) using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes. When you revisit Google, Firefox should retrieve all the files fresh and hopefully this will clear up the issue.
(2) DNS hijack
Firefox usually relies on Windows to look up the true internet addresses of servers, but this can be overridden by a proxy setting or by an extension, and you might do this if you have signed up with a private VPN service (for anonymous browsing) or are using a TOR add-on.
(A) Proxy setting
You can review/modify your setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > Settings button
The default setting is "Use system proxy settings" which should cause Firefox to use the same connection settings as IE.
(B) Extensions
You can review, configure, disable, and often remove extensions here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
Any that specifically target Google, such as privacy-related extensions, would be worth checking and possibly disabling.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
(C) External software
Other software on your computer can change how Windows finds site, including malware. If you are inclined to run a few supplemental scans, this support article recommends some free tools for that: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
(D) Router settings
Often your DNS servers are actually set in your router, either one supplied by your internet service provider or one you've added on yourself to share your connection locally. If you find that you have the same problem in IE, then this definitely is worth checking.

Why won't Firefox let me bring up the uploaded pages of the San Quentin News.

I’m totally confused by new Firefox behavior concerning my Wordpress blog for the San Quentin News, the prison newspaper I advise that is the only prison newspaper in California and one of the few in the world. www.sanquentinnews.com. The problems don’t arise when I use Safari on either my iMac, my wife’s iMac or our iPad. Just Firefox, and just recently.
The three Pages I created on the Wordpress blog (Home, Welcome and Comment) still work fine. But the upload pages for the paper’s various issues – Current Issue and Back Issues – don’t work as they did many months before with Firefox.
When I uploaded the May issue, using the same procedure for media uploads that had worked before, things fell apart.
After uploading the new issues I tried to access Current Issue and Back Issues. What happens is this: The first time I select an issue sometimes it comes up correctly, with the image filling the screen and the blue scroll bar down the right side that enables me to scroll to all eight pages. But next time I try to access that issue, either nothing happens (blank screen) or when the issue finally comes up after a long delay, it is the first page of the issue centered on the desktop and with no blue scroll bar with which to access other pages.
Please help! I like the many features of Firefox, but not this one.

Hi funkyjeans-
I would suggest altering your printing preferences for Firefox. There is a Support article that describes how to do that here:

I hope that helps.

Why won't Firefox let me add an exception?

Firefox tells me that a site has an invalid security certificate, which I know. It asks if I want to Add an Exception and I click to add one. It pops up the Add Security Exception window and that window tells me that this site has a valid certificate and there is no need to add an exception; but I DO need to add an exception and it won't do it for me. Why?
I am working in a secure test lab and use Firefox to login to our systems under test. Each time we change or add hardware we must add exceptions to login to a system. I have done this for years with Firefox but now Firefox 4 seems confused. We now need to use EI, which I would rather not.

I use a lot of equipment with internal (untrusted/self-signed) certificates and I face this problem one or two times a month. This has been going on since FF 4.0 came out and has continued with v5 and v6. I know someone said nothing has changed with regard to cert handling - you are wrong.
This issue is nearly crippling to me and is driving me away from FF entirely. Were it not for a couple irreplaceable plugins I use, I would already be gone. No other modern browser is as irritating WRT the handling of untrusted SSL certificates as firefox is, and no other modern browser has a problem like this. I'm facing this issue right now with a system that I *need* to be able to access, and I simply cannot use FF to do so because of this infuriating issue.

Why won't Apple let you use a @me for Apple ID Primary email?

Hello everyone!
I already know that it is impossible at this point to change your primary Apple ID to a @me address. I have called Apple Support and they have already told me that it is not possible at this point.
Does anyone know why they won't let you use it?
Some people have told me that it is apart of your Apple ID, which i know it is. It is an alternate email address for it.
My problem is though is that all my purchases and Apple information goes to my old email address that got hacked.(My new one is the @me associated with my Apple ID)
Thanks
Ryan

If, as you said in your first post, there isn't an Apple Store you can get to, call Apple support and talk to them. As Tim suggested, it may be due to your having a repair order open already. If you call Apple, they should be able to get you set up.
Regards.

Why won't AI let me drag the selection icon into a Live Paint group?

I routinely add paths to existing Live Paint Groups, by dragging a path that is outside the group, into the LP group. But AI won't let me drag the "selection icon" from a nested layer, into an existing LP Group. Why?
It seems I'm requesting the same action, but AI won't allow the icon to be dragged into the group. I have to either open the layer and drag the objects directly, or drag the objects into the main layer, then into the Live Paint Group. I think this is an interface flaw. Does anyone follow me and have an observation?
FYI… I realize I could jump into the Live Paint Group using Isolation mode, but that takes extra steps and makes the template less useful.

Live Paint groups can't contain sublayers. When attempting to drag a layer/sub-layer into a Live Paint group you are attempting to add a sub-layer, which Live Paint does not support.
You can drag individual objects into the Live Paint group because they are objects, not layers.
The "Layers" panel is somewhat of a misnomer, it's actually a "Layers and Objects" panel and each will have it's own restrictions.

Why won't Logic let me bounce the Metronome?

I've tried everything I can think of.
I need an audio file of the Metronome - why is that so difficult?
-Kim

Kim I know this must be frustrating, but it does work, and that's been confirmed not only by myself but others in the other Logic forum who were asking why they couldn't hear the click in their bounce. They all chose "REALTIME BOUNCE" and it worked. So something is different in your setup, I'm not sure what it is. My main outs are 1-2, I bounce to WAV, 16 bit, other than that I can't think of anything odd that I do. I actually did it by soloing a track with nothing on it, turning on the click, and doing a realtime bounce. The resulting file was a click. I'm using the MPC click, for what it's worth. Logic 8.02, System 10.5.4 (but it's been working like this for several systems now). The click is assigned to 1-2. Make sure of course, that you have "Click while playing" chosen. If I think of anything else I'll chime back in....

Why won't Firefox let me print web pages on my Mac? Safari works fine...

Every time I try to print a web page or image or anything on Firefox, the printed version comes out mostly blank with things like "file:.... and 2 of 15 and Dates and 11..." in very small letters on the bottom of the page. It is not printing what I want it to at all. I looked on support.mozilla and went to about:config. There was no print.print_printer option for me to choose when I typed it in the filter field, and all of the rest of the print options there was available, the reset option was unavailable to click (it was all grey). Now what do I do? I need to use Firefox because one of the websites I need to use only uses the Firefox browser for Mac. Help please??

Why won't Firefox let me register?

All I wanted to know is how to get rid of the annoying ad for Mozilla Webmaker. The information offered by Mozilla support is an irrelevant remark, "First, please update to Firefox 31, 27 is no longer secure or supported. Update Firefox to the latest version. After that, we can help you remove the snippet if you'd like, or just change your home page to something else." I have Firefox 31, how are you going to help me? Based on this answer, Firefox Support isn't going to help! Cor-el offered all of this, which isn't useful if you don't understand it: "If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page. Delete the storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit) to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default snippet set. You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-safe-about+home folder. You need to close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref. You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets.
about:config page: browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)"
If someone will reply in English instead of jargon (or koine Greek) with an answer, it will be greatly appreciated.

Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key to open the about:config page like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can start typing or paste browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl in the search bar at the top of the about:config page to locate this pref.
You can double-click the line of the pref or select Modify in the right-click context menu and delete the value to change the pref to an empty String value.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder where you can find the storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home folder and delete this folder with Firefox closed.

Why won't iTunes let me use songs I purchased in a movie maker file?

doesnt' seem to be any rhyme or reason...I can drag some files from iTunes directly into Movie Maker and others it just won't allow. Some of my music shows up in explorer when I use Movie Maker to "Add Music" and some of the songs, including those I purchased don't. What do I need to do to free all of my music?

Two suggestions.
Wait.
Update iTunes to 11.1.3.8 if you haven't already.

Why won't itunes let me download the songs I've purchased?

About a week or two ago I pre-ordered the new A7x album (which came out today) and it says all the songs are purchesed but it wont let me download them. What do I do?

Hey Trevsauce,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines the procedure of pre-orders and redeeming the download:
Downloading a pre-ordered item
When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.

Why won't iMovie let me use backgrounds on titles or let me type in anything on certain titles?

I was working on imovie and creating a video for a school project. But when I dragged a title down I couldn't type a message in it and I couldn't change the background to a different color to make it look interesting. So the title was a black with no words. Please help! I'm desperate and I need to get this project finished soon. Thanks for any help or advice!

If you are using the new iMovie 10 (iMovie 2013), drag a different coloured background from the Maps and Backgrounds panel directly onto the existing background clip, then select Replace from the pop-up menu.
As GeeD mentioned, most (if not all) of the newer titles can't be modified unfortunately. But you should be able to change the background colour, as I suggested.
