I can not print from Firefox, but can from all other browsers and applications (such as MS Word, notepad, etc.). I get a print error on the printing monitor like it's a spooling problem.

This is a recent development but I can not print anything from within Firefox. The print functions open normally, it is going to the correct printer which works..I can print from other browsers and applications. It acts like it is spooling and then a print error occurs and it won't print. I closed and reopened Firefox, opened it in safe mode, cleaned out history/cache/cookies, and rebooted twice. Nothing makes any difference. Also tried printing from the print preview which had the same result. I can print from all other browsers and applications without a problem so it must be within Firefox.

MS Outlook People page will not load in Firefox. It loads in other browsers.

I use Outlook and when I use it in Firefox version 21.0 the People page will not open. When I use Outlook in another browser the people page opens without any issues. In firefox it just clocks and clocks an then since there is a problem and stops.
I was told that the adobe add on was an issue, I tried disabling it, and installing the latest version and it still will not work.
I deleted all my cache still will not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

My webpage does not show on Firefox, but it does on other browsers

I have a personal website, http://www.kryshu.com that I have created myself on Dreamweaver. I have 7 pages and all except one appear on Firefox. Everything was fine until a couple of months ago when I updated some of the pages, again on Dreamweaver. All of a sudden my 'Portfolio - images' page does not show anything. It is empty - blank. It had text and images. I reloaded several times but each time the 'Portfolio - images' page is blank.
This happened only on Firefox. On Internet Explorer and Chrome the page works fine.
So, I presume the problem is with Firefox. What should I do?

The content is on the page, but is shifted down considerably.
Looks that this is caused by a simple typo: height="790%" instead of height="790" for one of the tables that causes all content to get shifted down.
<pre><nowiki><table width="672" height="790%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"></nowiki></pre>

My bookmarks are not saving in Firefox, they will save in other browsers. Any tips why?

Nothing happens when I go to save, or "bookmark" a website. It stopped asking me what folder, and it does not even save in a general list. I'm considering switching browsers.

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is otherwise interfering with downloading files. 
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

Robohelp 11 - updates to web page not visible in Firefox...ok in other browsers

Hi
We use Robohelp 11 to create help pages.
Often we notice that when we make changes and republish a page, the changes take a while to be visible in Firefox and Chrome, but tend to be immediately visible in Internet Explorer.
On this occasion we changed a page around two months ago (updated links for new embedded YouTube videos). I can see the new videos in Chrome and IE, but still see the old videos in Firefox 31.0, despite having cleared my cache.
Worried that users won't see updates.
Anyone experienced similar?
thanks
V

Perhaps something in the link below helps?

At work with the text at allocation by the cursor of the big fragment of page it is necessary to shift all time it downwards, "against the stop", but the page automatically does not start to rise upwards as occurs in other browsers. I ask the help!

After transition on Windows 7 there was a problem with Firefox. At work with the text at allocation by the cursor of the big fragment of page it is necessary to shift all time it downwards, "against the stop", but the page automatically does not start to rise upwards as it was earlier and as occurs in other browsers. It is necessary to press other hand a key "downwards" that is the extremely inconvenient. Reinstallation on earlier version (8.0) earlier irreproachably working, has given nothing. I ask the help

You need to enable the Add-ons bar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars; Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F) to make Firefox scroll the page while selecting text.

Layout not working in IE but fine in all other browsers?

Hi,
I'm probably missing something very simple, but can anyone shed some light on as to why the a coloumn keeps jumping in IE but works & looks as it should in all other browsers.
The link to the page in question is below, I have tried fixing the width and even rebuild the page but all to no avail.
http://www.gecodesigns.com/test/touringsport/football-tours.html
Many thanks
Alex

First thing - all webpages should have a doctype. Yours doesn't. Add one that is consistent with the code you have already used on the page (looks like HTML 4.01 Transitional). This will prevent browsers from rendering the page in quirks mode (a bad thing).
Second - don't use commas or spaces in file/pathnames:
background-image: url(images/Touring%20Sport%20-%20Sports%20Tours,%20Schools%20Tours%20and%20Corporate%20To urs.jpg);
Third - when you specify a font, do it as a family, not a single font. In your case, a computer that doesn't have Helvetica will default to Times New Roman, which is probably not what you intended:
.Contact_Header {
font-family: Helvetica;
Fourth - justified text is not very satisfactory on the web, and is harder to read than non-justified text:
.Main_Text {
font-family: Helvetica;
color: #666;
text-align: justify;
Finally, in addition to these things, wonky code is the cause of your problems. Here is the validation report for this page - there are many things there that need to be fixed -
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gecodesigns.com%2Ftest%2Ftouringsport%2 Ffootball-tours.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&user-agent= W3C_Validator%2F1.2
Also, read this about the impact of using col- and rowspans the way you have in your layout tables -

Windows 7 cleartype NOT working with Firefox 6 (it worked with Firefox 5)

As soon as I upgraded to Firefox 6 on Aug 16, 2011 - the Windows 7 cleartype stopped working within firefox.
The text now looks blurry and light. I disabled all addons, tried safe mode. It was always the same thing.
To fix this, I manually downgraded to Firefox 5. As soon as I did this, the cleartype was back. The text was dark, the way it always was.
I have the same addons with both versions and I've tried to repeatedly install both versions, but with the same end result. Windows Cleartype doesn't seem to work in Firefox 6 (compared to Firefox 5).
Firefox 6 is amazing, but non-compatibility with Windows7 cleartype is a big issue. One of the best features of firefox is the tinkering it allows with it's fonts, and the clarity of text it allows. Sadly this doesn't work in Firefox 6.
I've downgraded to Firefox 5 for now. Hopefully this will be resolved soon..

I had the exact same issue after updating. I even resorted to downgrading yesterday after not finding any decent work-around for this, but when it forced an update today upon starting Firefox I just had to clear this up. Here's what you can do:
# Type '''about:config''' in the address bar.
# Type '''gfx.font''' into the filter bar.
# Focus on the following parameters: '''cleartype_level''', '''enhanced_contrast''', '''gamma''', '''pixel_structure''' and '''rendering_mode'''. Forget about the rest.
# Press Start and type '''regedit''' into the search field.
# Once there, choose the following: ''HKEY_CURRENT_USER - Software - Microsoft - Avalon.Graphics - DISPLAY1'' and note down each value represented in the data column within the brackets. For example, my '''ClearTypeLevel''' value is 100, '''EnhancedContrastLevel''' is 400 and '''TextContrastLevel''' is 2.
# Now that you've found these values, go back to the configuration in Firefox and right click on the '''cleartype_level''' parameter, and choose Modify. Now enter that very same value from before (100, for me) in there. Do that with the rest of the values. I put my '''rendering_mode''' as 2, which could coincide with the '''TextContrastLevel''', but it might not, but the '''rendering_mode''' values range from -1 to 5, so see which works for you.
# To change the '''gamma''' and '''pixel_structure''', go back to the '''Registry Editor''' like before, but this time follow this: ''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Avalon.Graphics - DISPLAY1'' and note the values within the brackets from there.
# Replace those values to the ones in the configuration and you're all set!
If you want to read more about those configuration parameters and their values, [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_6.0%2C_etc.#Font_rendering_and_performance_issues here's] a great article of sorts about it. It's about Thunderbird 6.0, but everything mentioned there correlates with Firefox 6.0.
This is as close as I've gotten to the text looking like it's supposed to and if even this doesn't work for you then I'm open to any and all suggestions anyone might have : /

Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

Firefox will not load or open. ver 16.0? up date. running Win7 pro. Other Browsers OK - Chrome - Explorer

Firefox has stopped opening after an update. It worked the night before, and than, in the AM - no open or load - nothing. The other browsers work fine - Chrome and Explorer. I did a delete and reload - nothing, plus all the normal computer checking crap - still nothing. Whew??

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I can no longer open word or excel files from my email in firefox, i can in all other browsers. it started november 5, 2014

Yesterday afternoon, out of the blue, I can no longer open word or excel documents from my gmail account in firefox browser on windows 7. I can in all other browsers. The error message is "There was a problem sending the command to the program"

As a workaround, does it work to save the files first and then open them after saving?
Sometimes when Firefox has problems handing off a download to another program it is caused by a corrupted settings file. That file is hard to edit, so usually we suggest renaming the file to see whether that resolves the issue. Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Start Firefox back up again and test your Gmail attachments. Any improvement?
Note: This resets some preferences to their defaults, such as which PDF viewer Firefox uses. If you need to update that again, please see this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].

Facebook and Slacker no longer working with Firefox. Still work with Explorer. Until a week ago problem did not exist.

I am for about one week not able to input information on Facebook. Also the Facebook page appears in a huge font. Regarding Slacker I do not see any available online radio stations. Until about a week ago everything worked fine. At present I can work with Internet Explorer, but at present can no longer work with Firefox.
