FF 19 MAC OSX

Touchpad scroll does not work in drop down menus. When I try, the menu just closes. This feature works perfectly fine in Internet Explorer 9. I have tried several different drivers from Synaptics with no difference.

Booted up computer this morning. Auto update of Firefox to 19. No previous tabs available. Eventually restored previous tabs but some of Add-ons didn't work even tho no message to say so. SEO-Book toolbar was there after update but later disappeared. Tried downloading SE-Book toolbar again still did not appear in View / Toolbars tab. Did not appear on screen. The video download prog I had in the Tools tab no longer there. Got rid of download helper as it didn't work anyway.

I'm using Firefox 19 Beta (fully updated) on Mac OS 10.8.2 (also fully updated). I recently reinstalled the OS, and before I had, I was using the same version of Firefox. Before the reinstall, Firefox was using notification center for all notifications. I used to have Growl installed, but uninstalled it after Firefox added Notification Center support. Now, after the reinstall, Firefox is not showing up under my list of Notification Center applications. Does anyone have any idea how to get Firefox to show up in Notification Center? I have googled around with no success.

Thanks for your help!

This problem occurs on two different (one 32 bit, one 64 bit) machines running Firefox 19.0.2 under Windows 8 Pro. Firefox is the default browser on both machines. Firefox is set to open URL's in a new tab. I have disabled all extensions and add-ins and the problem persists.

[EDIT: Have now upgraded 64bit machine to Firefox 20.0.1 with no change in symptoms.]

ONLY IF Firefox IS CURRENTLY RUNNING, clicking on a URL shortcut will sometimes fail to open the URL in Firefox (or any other browser, for that matter). If Firefox is exited, then clicking on the same shortcut will always launch a new instance of Firefox and open the URL. This problem is intermittent -- about 10% to 20% of the time -- at other times clicking on the same shortcut will cause Firefox to open the URL as expected. However, once a running Firefox instance has ignored a click on the shortcut, no matter how many times the shortcut is clicked, Firefox will not respond until that instance of Firefox is exited.

Hi, I am experiencing an issue with Firefox when in edit mode using the open source VLE moodle. When I try to move items on the page it no longer works. To cut a long sorry story short I finally traced this to a firefox upgrade in mid January. The issue first appeared in firefox around mid January, then Palemoon which I also have installed presumably when the same upgrade worked reached Palemoon. If I try this on another browser such as IE or Chrome there is no problem. Through a bit of investigation and a post on the moodle forum I found that the issue could be fixed by turning off the touchscreen service 'tablet pc input service' in services.

I like Firefox, and the ethos behind and would like to keep using it, but at the same time don’t want to have to go into services and disable my touchscreen every time I want to edit in moodle. Is there anything that I can change in firefox settings to fix this or is it a bug that needs to be fixed?

Thanks in advance.

I have FF 19.0.2 (FF 18.x had problems too), I log into Gmail, try to Compose an email, and the attachment (regardless of type or size) won't attach. Gmail gives me an error of "Retry, Remove, Help"

I have the most version of Flash, a few weeks ago with FF18.x everything was working fine, with FF18.x the above problem started. Safe Mode with FF doesn't fix it, in creating a new profile FF was updated to 19.x, that didn't fix it. When Win7 Pro loads normally, I turned off my antivirus software (Kaspersky), and my antimaleware software, cleared all my cache in FF, nothing worked.

Attachments work with IE v8.0 without a problem. Attachments also work on my WinXP Pro (old computer) with older version FF. On my netbook, which has an OEM version of Win7 and FF 10.0, attachments do work.

IF I start Win7 in Safe Mode, then the attachment works. So something in windows is causing the problem. I have not updated Win7 Pro in months, so it's nothing I recently changed, because nothing has changed w/the OS.

I'm at a loss as to what to trouble shoot at this point.

Seems like this started with Firefox 19 on my desktop. If I'm running Pandora in one tab with no problems and I open a tab to the Adobe Actionscript online help reference, such as

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/DisplayObject.html#event:addedToStage

or move around through the reference pages to get to the above page, then almost every time the music from Pandora in another tab will start breaking up until I leave the offending reference page or close the help tab. Then Pandora will resume working correctly.

I've got the following plugins: NoScript, FireBug, DownloadHelper, and I've allowed scripts for the adobe.com website for NoScript.

I've never had a problem before with these 2 tabs being open side-by-side. I've only noticed it after upgrading yesterday to Firefox 19.

I have been using Firefox for many years now. Firefox 19.0 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 Lately when I open and view some web pages an Icon with 'MSN Entertainment -.mp4' appears. Some sessions leave as many as 15 to 20 of these Icons. I can not open them with any thing. Did I do something wrong or what. I can't seem to find out the answer. They do not appear when we use Safari

Hi, I am trying to implement logout functionality for Basic authentication for our internal application with the below script.

 function clearCache(){
  var ua= window.navigator.userAgent;
  if(ua.indexOf("MSIE") > 0){
  document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache");
  return true;
  }else{
  $.ajax({
    url: '<%=request.getContextPath()%>/pages/PeleLogout.jsp',
    username: ' ',
    password: ' ',
    statusCode: { 401: function() { //alert('Logged Out') 
    } 
    }
    });
    return true;
  }
  }

This function is working properly when deployed in my local tomcat server, but it is not working after deploying in WebSphere6.1 server..

I bring up Firefox after it crashes, which happens quite often, and all the tabs and windows I was working on are lost, even though I had the options set to "save my windows and tabs from last time." The tabs that are brought up seem to be the same ones I had opened when I first selected that options setting. So the session manager does not keep up-to-date, just kind of randomly selects a session from some time in the past and always brings up that exact session, regardless of where I actually was before my crash (or if I have to kill the Firefox process because Firefox froze).

By the way, some time ago Firefox had the option to, when reloading Firefox after a crash, to choose which tabs to bring up after a crash, in case certain ones were creating the problem, so we could remove those tabs before reloading. What happened to that feature?

my keyboard is extra sensitive while using firefox on hotmail. com . I can type a user bame accurately, but when I type the password to login each key I press types in two or three character s. I can never login with my Firefox browser. I have no issues with hotmail using other browsers.

1. when a page is saved as pdf, the captured title is article.php.number. pdf. this absurd since you have to open all of them to identify what you want. 2. using the browser generates too much data that can consume any available storage with time. if the data is cleared, all add−ons and settings are lost. l love Firefox buy these two problems are unbearable. thank you.

Hi,

I am currently facing a problem with a Chat program using jsp (Java Server Pages) where the chat console works perfect except for one little thing. The chat window does not automatically scroll down to the last reply in the chat window.

the code used to scroll down to the last items (based on Netscape) is the following:

if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) {
  isOther = (navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == "3");
  isNS4 = (navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == "4");
  isNS6 = (navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == "5");
} else if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet Explorer") != -1) {
  isIE = true;
} else if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Opera") != -1) {
  isOpera = true;
} else {
  isOther = true;
}
if (navigator.platform.indexOf("Mac") != -1)
    isMac = true;
if (isOther)
    alert("Sorry but you will have to upgrade your browser to NS4+ or IE4+ for this to work properly.");
function setScrollProperties() {
    if (isMac) {
        scrollStart = 0;
        scrollEnd =  answerFrame.document.height - scrollStart;
    } else {
        scrollStart = 0;
        scrollEnd =  answerFrame.document.height - scrollStart;
    }
}
function doScroll() {
    documentYposition += scrollAmount;
    window.scrollTo(0,documentYposition);
    if (documentYposition < scrollEnd) {
        setTimeout('doScroll()',slowScrollInterval);
    }else if (moreScrolling){
        moreScrolling = false;
        scrolling = false;
        startScroll();
    }else{
        scrolling = false;
    }

I cannot see what goes wrong in here and the manufacturer does not know how to fix this either. Irritatingly this scrolling function is working normally in IE, Chrome and some other browsers.

I sure hope you can help me, as this is a very irritating problem that needs to be solved.

Best regards, Corné Snoek
