Why won't some sites load since I've downloaded firefox 5?

Earlier today I was prompted to upgrade from my usual Firefox 4 to a newer version; Firefox5.It read that certain conduit engines would be disabled for the download, but would then be enabled again. I have cleared my cache & cookie history(as per your suggestion) however my husband's favorite web site: play poker for free/free poker as well as others aren't working. Ex. when he logs into the site, and the page that comes up looks weird and it will not allow him to access the tables page from which he chooses which ones he wants to play.
When I pulled up Firefox 5, a full page list popped up of sites, add-on, & numerous other things that were incompatible with Firefox 4 and thus all were disabled. Also Firefox 5 only appears in my add/remove program list.(there's no icon for it), so I'm actually signing on w/ Firefox 4 as always. However when I started to remove Firefox 5, it advised that Firefox 4 would be uninstalled?!?!? This unacceptable. Though I've enjoyed Firefox for the 4 years I've had it, if real help can't be provided soon I'll just have to use one of the many other browsers, (3 of which I already have installed.
I appreciate your time and any assistance that can be provided.................Linda Long (Longlimbs)

That is very strange, as I don't think Firefox 5 has been released yet, much less been pushed for updates. Maybe it was an unofficial teaser...
I think you probably do want to remove Firefox 5 and reinstall Firefox 4.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere '''outside''' of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 4 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Close Firefox 5 and uninstall. On the first try, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Next, run the Firefox 4 installer. Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 4 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, you may need to re-do the process and remove your settings. You can at least recover your bookmarks and any saved passwords from the backup you made in the first step. See: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile Recovering important data from an old profile].
Hope that helps.

  • Why won't some of my songs, that used to sync, sync to my iPhone 5 now? There is an empty circle appearing to the left of the check marks for each of the songs that were not successfully synced.

    Why won't some of my songs, that used to sync, sync to my iPhone5 now? There is an empty circle appearing to the left of the check mark in iTunes for the songs that are not properly syncing.

    I've continued tests on different films, and tried my entire collection. I've found about two dozen that will play fine on the PC, but will not cooperate when streamed to either Apple TV or my iPad. I tried several more tests with the audio, and that turned out not to be a factor -- I could not replicate that on another test.
    I wonder if something in the header of these files is corrupted or a flag is set incorrectly or something along those lines, as the data appears to be fine -- it's just not "handshaking" with my streaming hardware and/or the Apple Home Sharing code that powers it.
    Is there any way for me to "scrub" these files and amend their headers, or get into the file and tinker with that info by hand?

  • Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)?

    Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)? When I look at the files in FiNader there's a grey bar next to the files that won't open.

    I am having the same problem. Created new spreadsheet on iPad with fresh iOS and Numbers installs (3/2015) and am unable to open this spreadsheet in iCloud in Safari on MacBook Air (all current). I get the following message:
    "Sorry, something went wrong.
    This spreadsheet can't be opened right now. Please try again later."
    Tried reopening on Mac from iCloud and resaving; still cannot open.
    Quick fix: Copying the spreadsheet content from the iPad spreadsheet to one created on the desktop recovers the ability to open it in iCloud in Safari.
    Thanks.

  • Why won't some photos or videos sync to my iPad when they work fine with iPhoto and iTunes?

    Why won't some photos or videos sync to my iPad when they work fine with iPhoto and iTunes? Other photos taken with same camera sync fine from iPhoto while certain events are inexplicably incompatible. I've recently foundvthecsame occurrence with certain mp3s and videos from iTunes.

    For photos try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    Not all video formats that work in iTunes are compatible with the iPad - the supported formats are (from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/) :
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Have you tried Advanced > Create iPad Version and then sync those versions to the iPad
    The iPad's supported audio formats are :
    HE-AAC (V1 and V2), AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV

  • Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

    Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

    I'm confirming that after trying several other ideas, the steps outlined here by S.E.A. and Amelia P. worked perfectly. For those of you having problems with certain songs not playing, or the wrong song playing, follow their "unsynch" "resynch" process. A few notes:
    Before starting, I was confident that iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.7.2 were all up-to-date and functioning correctly.
    After selecting my Device in iTunes (an iPhone 4S in my case), then selecting the "Music" tab and unchecking "Sync Music", be sure that it actually Applies the new settings (force a synch to be sure).
    After this step, most of the songs disappeared from my device (including all of the corrupted ones) but not all songs (perhaps it left those that I purchased directly on the device?). In any case, don't worry about these. Just re-check the boxes you unchecked and then be sure to force a synch again. It should take a while to complete if you've got a lot of music.
    Perfection!

  • Why won't some pdf-files open on tablet/phone?

    I simply get the error saying: The document cannot be opened because it's not a valid pdf-document.
    However I have no problems opening the file with my laptop, only my phone and tablet (Jellybean 4.2.2) won't open it.
    My friends also have managed to open the file on their tablets (android/windows).
    Have reinstalled and checked updates and tried other programs but none has worked for me.
    I simply have no clue and would appreciate help.

    Hey,
    Seems like the problem was in the web browser I was using, as the file just
    didn't download correctly.
    Thanks for the help anyway, much appreciated.

    Hey,
    spent some time discussing this with some friends of mine and found out
    that the document can be opened by downloading it to the computer and
    transferring then to the tablet or phone. The difference is that when
    downloading with tablet/phone I get a .pdf file, which only has some html
    code. So I guess the problem has something to do with the encryption of the
    file. Here are the 2 different files I get as attachments. After all this
    might not have anything to do with adobe, but some other stuff I don't
    really understand.

  • Why won't my fonts load?

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5 Lion, and fonts that I purchased in the past and used on my old PowerBook won't load using FontBook!? Take for instance, Cachet. When I do a get info on the all the files in the Cachet font folder, they don't even say what kind of font they are, e.g., TrueType, Postscript Type 1, etc. I probably purchased Postscript. And the thumbnails are blank icons too.

    i run into the same problem the last days.
    using bootstrap and the fontawesome iconfonts.
    everythings fine with chrome an ie, but no fonticons with firefox...
    found alot of solutions, but none of them worked.
    then, using the webdeveloper console (i used firebug all the time before) i see the error why the webfont was not loaded:
    [14:18:36.161] GET http://www.example.com/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=3.2.0 [HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required 21ms]
    yes, the site is behind a '''htaccess''' login.
    first load after login is => everything ok!
    after following an internal link => no webfonts!
    after disabeling the htaccess login, everything works fine!
    but that can only be a workaround!
    why firefox didnt recognize the login/authorization like chrome does?!
    what todo if you have your site behind htaccess and want to use webfonts?!

  • Z87 GD45 Network issues/some sites loading slowly

    Hi, I've just built a new system with a MSI Z87 GD45 and i5 4670k. Everything is running great, but certain websites load slowly.
    Microsoft has been the worst so far. At first the page I need would sometimes not load all the assets, and then it would load the site fine, but the downloads are ALWAYS unbearably slow. I had to get the .NET 4.5 framework because my AMD catalyst drivers were stopping on that process, but downloading from microsoft was under 1KB/s. I ended up having to download the .NET framework through a torrent, because every other site just mirrored microsofts link.
    Other websites are intermittently loading very slowly or just a little bit slower than they should.
    I have a 100Mbit fiber connection that consistently gets between 110 and 116MbitDL and 2.3-2.5Mbit UL on speedtest.net from my local server. When I say some sites are loading slow, I mean slower than 56k, not slow relative to my normal fast speeds. My last computer using realtek eNIC and my room mates computer using a broadcomm eNIC has no such issues.
    What I have tried so far:
    Downloaded the latest killer E2200 drivers and removal utility.
    Removed old drivers, rebooted.
    Run removal utility, rebooted.
    Installed new drivers, rebooted.
    Tried with Atheros Killer application manager enabled (default) and disabled.
    My system consists of:
    MSI z87 GD45
    Core i5 4670k (stock)
    GEIL Evo veloce 16GB (2x8GB) 1866 (XMP)
    Gigabyte HD7950 3GB windforce (from my old computer)
    Seasonic 660w Platinum PSU in hybrid fan mode (in stress testing the fan has never switched on)
    Sandisk Extreme II 240GB SSD
    WD 3TB green HDD
    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    The system has otherwise been completely stable and runs cool in stress testing (prime95 and furmark).
    The only other issue(s) is that there is no driver installed for the PCI Simple communications Controller and two other Unknown Devices in the Device manager. I installed the chipset, LAN and audio drivers and then the intel USB3 driver. On reboot, nothing using USB worked, including my mouse and keyboard, so I rebooted in safe mode and removed the driver... now everything works. Should I perhaps look for a newer version of this driver. I can't see how that's related to my internet speed issue though...
    Back to the problem, right now I'm downloading microsoft security essentials at 4KB/s which is the fastest it has gone so far. Before that I downloaded a game from steam at 8-12MB/s..... why is microsofts site so consistently slow on my system?

    Hi Andrew86,
    It's obvious you just made a typo. Here is one topic regarding internet with the 45 : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=170539.0
    This seemed to be a solution
    Quote from: Insirion on 29-August-13, 00:53:15
    yesterday I got a bluescreen. i had those 3 times that week. On the log it said it was because of the killer network card.
    Too fix this I went to "msconfig' then the tab services. And check off "Qualcomm Atheros killer Service",
    And under boot I disabled KillerNetManager. Wiorked for me so far.

  • Why won't LR 3 load all the images in a cataloged file?

    When I try to open a folder or collection of images (in Library, grid view), some of the images load right away, others take several seconds, and some never load. Instead I see gray boxes, albeit with the proper DSC number in the upper right corner of each. I'm using LR 3.6 on Windows 7.

    Hi Bob,
    The question is: where are your previews stored?
    Normally, without applying some hack, they are next to the catalog.
    On my windows7-system that is by default in
    C:\Users\[your username]\Pictures\Lightroom, a folder named "[your LR4-Catalog name] Previews.lrdata".
    So the previews should always be online.
    It may be that LR4 was not complete in building the previews when you closed it last time ?
    Otherwise I share your puzzlement. So I would render all standard previews for your entire catalog and then expect that it should not happen again...
    Becaues that is the beauty of a complete set of previews: I can do all sort of LR-work apart from Develop while the images themselves are offline - something I would never want to miss!

  • Why won't my security scan allow me to download creative cloud?

    Why won't my windows 8 allow my download to pass the security scan?

    At a guess (you don't list the error), what maybe happening is that you have booted from the original OS install disc, told it to install the (old) original OS on to the hard disk and it has said - no thanks you cannot install an older version because it already has a newer version installed.
    This is 'normal', what you have to do is totally erase the hard disk first. You do this by booting from the original OS install disc, but rather than trying to do an install straight away, you should first use Disk Utility and use that to erase the hard disk. Then you can run the install again and because the hard disk will be empty it will not have a newer OS on it and the installer will be happy.
    Obviously this means any files you have on the hard disk will be erase as well. If you want to keep them you are going to need to back them up first, the easiest way would be to use Time Machine to backup to an external hard disk.

  • Why won't my computer load my homepage on start-up, which is the sign-on page for "gmail", after up-grading to Firefox-6?

    Upgraded to Firefox6 a week ago when "suggested" by pop-up screen. Since then, computer will not open gmail using Mozilla but will access it through IE. I get the following message:-
    * The connection has timed out
    * The server at www.google.com is taking too long to respond.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web
    What is the problem? Anything to do with "incompatibility with Microsoft and/or Google" - again?
    I can access all my other regular sites through Mozilla.

  • Why won't my Playlist load onto my iPod Nano

    Hi, I have been given a 1GB iPod nano as a present but being computer iliterate cannot figure out how to put music from iTunes on the iPod. I have, using CD's & some songs from iTunes Stores built a playlist of my favourite tracks. However, although my list has 95 songs on it, it will only load 22 of these onto my iPod. What am I doing wrong !! I am using iTunes 7.02 so have the most up-to-date software but don't know why I can't get the rest of my songs onto the iPod. If someone can tell me in english how to do this, I would be most grateful ! I have also tried deleting the songs from the iPod and starting again but iTunes won't allow me to delete these either! Thanks

    Hi, thanks for you reply. I thyink I have included the info you wanted!
    In iTunes under the import tab, it says:
    On CD Insert: Ask to import CD
    Import Using: AAC Encode
    Setting: High Quality (128kbs)
    Details: 64 kbps (mono)/128 kbps (stereo)
    underneath this, the 1st 3 boxs are ticked.
    When I right-click on some of the songs in itunes here is the response:
    1 of the songs that did load onto my ipod (orignally on my old MP3 player):
    Size 2.2MB / Format MPEG-1 , Layer 3
    1 of the songs that did load onto my ipod from a CD:
    Size 3.1MB / Kind AAC Audio File
    I purchased 2 songs from iTunes - neither of which went onto my iPod, Here is the info for 1 of these:
    Size 3.5MB / Kind Protected AAC audio file
    1 of the songs that did not load onto my ipod from a CD:
    Size 4.5MB / Kind AAC audio file (I copied 3 songs from this particular album and 1 went onto my iPod but this one and another did not.)
    I never had this problem with my old MP3 Player. I presume there is a way around this with iTunes ?? Otherwise, will be reverting back to my old MP3 !
