Support Forum

I'm running xp pro sp2 : I recently upgraded to firefox 5 and would like to keep it. everything works great. My problem is that I use the xfinity tv guide online. I can use another guide ,but I like this one. all the set ups on the page ; ie zip code ,channel line up work fine. there is a drop down to change the d.s.t. + or - an hour it lets me select it but nothing changes. It's not on their end, and it works in explorer but its horribly slow and glitchy. I know this may sound petty at best, but I like what I like.... so any ideas ? thank you, ..... shredd

This is a relatively recent problem. All videos, whether from friends, new casts or U tube show nothing but a blank black screen. I even took it to a repair shop. I can view everything on IE. I am not particularly computer literate and am much more comfortable using Mozilla. This problem exists on both of my PC's and my laptop. Can this be fixed or should I educate myself more on IE and just delete Mozilla Foxfire?

FireFox 3, Win XP SP3 A bookmarks frames won't close to display one page. There is no option I can find to force FireFox to discard frame information and display sites in ONE window.

First, let me explain. I work in a support role for a company that utilizes certain element management systems to monitor and troubleshoot network faults. Due to our company's security and application support policies we are forced to use a dated version of Firefox and Java to access the EMS's webserver.

The problem: With the recent update to Mozilla's blocking policies the Java version we utilize is being blocked and access to the site no longer functions properly. We need some method of workaround that will enable us to circumvent the block.

Disclaimers ahoy: we actively and willingly acknowledge the risks that are inherent in actions such as I request. I would ask that discussion pertains to the topic as we need an immediate workaround to access our tool and a long-term -safe- solution will be cooked up with the help of our company's processes.

I am happy to provide any details that may be needed.

Thanks! EDIT: I resolved the issue myself: see reply below.

Some time ago I let Firefox remember my Yahoo email username and password. Last week someone hacked into my Yahoo email account and used my email address list to send out lots of yucky spam to them. I have changed my Yahoo password, but now, just for safety's sake, I want to have that password blank whenever I sign in. How do I toggle the Firefox memory OFF so that it doesn't remember my new Yahoo name and password? I would prefer to log that name and password in myself from now on.

My computer is showing that Java is not enabled via Firefox. When I try to go into Tools/Add-ons, I see that there is no Java plug-in on that list (though I previously had no problem with Java). When I run software update on my Mac, it tells me my software is all up to date. Not sure what else to do. Java is working in Safari, so the problem is clearly with Firefox. I've tried disabling all my plug-ins, and clearing my cache. Nothing has helped.

Since updating to Firefox 5 I can no longer play Youtube videos. I get a black box with no audio or video. Youtube does work on Safari. I've updated Adobe Flash, with no improvement.

I was trying to download: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/smallringfx-darkmagenta-213952/

The tab came up top, and said the following: This add-on could not be downloaded because of connection failure

Everything works on Facebook as before, but when I go to the "messages" option, the messages do not display (but works fine in Explorer).

I have not added any new plug-ins or add-ons.

Everything worked without a problem before I upgraded to Firefox 5. Other Firefox users I've contacted do not seem to have this problem, so I assume it may be a setting, although I've made no changes.

My website was set up in Microsoft Frontpage using Internet Explorer. I added Firefox but when I try to make changes to my website through Firefox, it won't work. I have to make changes through Internet Explorer. On my computer when I go into Firefox and check out the website, it does not show the changes I made in Frontpage, but on other computers when going to the website through Firefox the changes are there. How do I correct my computer so that I can see my changes on Firefox as well as Internet Explorer? Thank you for any assistance.

Often the URL of a website is not shown but 'Go to a website' is displayed in the address bar - even when opening my home page. This makes it difficult if I need to reload the current page which may have a very long address. This problem has only recently started to occur.

Stop Autoplay was removed by the creator's request. I strongly dislike the autoplay feature on websites and would like to disable it on the new Firefox. Can I write an app to do this and offer it to other users? I haven't upgrade my version of Firefox because this app is no longer supported.
