Recently when I click on a .pdf file link I am no longer able to open the file in a adobe reader either within a FIREFOX webpage or open it using the full adobe program. Instead it opens a SAVE dialog box requesting me to save to my harddrive. I am not sure what has happened and am trying to find someone who might know what is going on?

When I am watching a video that requires adobe flash player, for example YouTube, and I unplug my extended monitor my Firefox freezes completely and a minutes later displays an error. I get the error message : "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml236" [ Continue ] [ Stop script ]

Firefox freezes when I click 'Continue' then unfreezes a few minutes later and the message comes back. When I click 'Stop script' my adobe flash crashes on all pages I have and needs refreshed. How can I fix this or is this a known bug? I also noticed that I now have an Adobe Flash Player audio mixer volume(speaker) when I have FireFox open. I didn't have this before. I'm curious to why the script is in the directory of Chrome as well.. Thanks.

Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory.

Above error messa4bite occurs whenever I star Firefox without admin priv. Checked the profile directory listed in troubleshoot info -- has r/w access for system, admin and self Tried renaming cert8 and secmod as suggested in one forum response. Problem persists.\ My computer runs Win 7 Home Premium 64bit

Hi,

Started up Firefox and the text in the main window was bigger than yesterday, there is now a scroll bar at the bottom for me to mover left and right to see all the screen. Zoom is already reset so CTRL+0 does nothing. Zooming back out to make the page look better only works for that page.

A complete re-installation of Firefox didn't work also.

I rolled back System Restore and Firefox looked fine again until I realised that I didn't have any search engines installed. So I reinstalled Firefox over the old (Choose Upgrade) and the big text problem came back.

I have been using Weebly recently, not sure if that is a coincidence or not, maybe I have messed something up whilst editing?

XP itself seems fine though, maybe this is a Font problem? Not sure. :P

Thanks.

3 days ago I was trying to watch videos on youtube and i kept getting adobe flash player crash error. i went ahead and updated to firefox 20.0.1 and i updated to flash player 11.7. still getting the error. Ive clean installed both since. I've reverted to older versions even the 10.3 listed on Firefox Troubleshooting guide. Nothing seems to work. I cannot watch any video period on any website that i've tried. Ive ran Malwarebytes and virus scans both with latest definitions and all is clean. Now firefox just crashed as i was writing this. weird. some assistance would be appreciated. Thanks

I click on the print icon under an article in the Wall Street Journal. A new window opens with the article in print format. When I print, I get blank paginated pages equaling the length of the article. On the top left hand corner of the page will appear the title of the article; on the top right hand corner will appear the web address of the article; on the bottom left hand corner will appear the pagination; and on the bottom right hand corner will be the date and time of the printing. This is just how any article would print; the only difference being that I'm not getting the content of the article printed. This has only started a couple of days ago. I do not have this issue with any other publication, yet this problem doesn't exist with other browsers.

Since I updated Firefox on my Mac (Mountain Lion) to version 21.0 yesterday, the mouse scroll wheel isn't working on some sites (for example www.nu.nl). It is working properly on most sites. Anyone else having this problem? I've updated my add-ons.

Before the last upgrades I was able to reload a page to the position I left but after the upgrades the reloaded page is always at the top. Example is a newspaper web page. I scroll through headlines and pictures until I find a story I want to read and click on it. When finished reading I try to reload the newspaper to the story I left but I get returned to the top of page every time. Whoever wrote the last upgrades can he please fix this.

For ore then a week now my sync is not working at all. I use sync to on 2 different PCs and a android phone. Sync is not working on any those devices. i tried resting, removing sync and even uninstalling and then reinstalling firefox with preferences removed. I keep getting the same error: "Syncs encounter an error while syncing: Firefox sync server maintenance is underway, syncing will resume automatically. Sync will automatically retry this action.". Your server status shows that your service is working fine for most users, what does that even means? are having an regional problems? (I'm from Pakistan).

I've been using the DjVu plugin for years, without issue. It worked fine yesterday. As of this morning, it has vanished from Firefox.

Multiple downloads, installs, uninstalls, restarts and reboots later, and I still have no DjVu in Firefox 21.

It works in IE 10, so it is installed on my Windows 7 64bit system. I don't want to use IE 10 to view the old newspapers that are a primary part of my research. The only way to view them is with DjVu.

Why - what is wrong - where is it? Can't even find the plugin to add from the add-ons page.

Please - someone point me to a fix.

Apparently pushed the wrong "Download" button. Now instead of my homepage (which I have reset), when I open Firefox the "search.conduit.com" page opens. I used the "about:config" procedure several times but it didn't work. There is nothing listed on "add/remove" that is related. Also scanned with Ad-aware, Super AntiSpyware and Norton 360. How do I clean search.conduit out of my browser?

I've followed EVERY suggested "cure" for the FAILED Cut/Copy - Paste function in FF 18.0.2 without success and am entirely considering UNINSTALLING FF and going back to IE8. There are MANY FF features I like and want to keep it but the simplest things become so frustrating ... SUCH AS: 1) Clipboard has worked ONLY SPORADICALLY no matter what I do, 2) Why is there no URL history while using PRIVATE BROWSING so I can retrace my own steps when needed by either pressing the BACKSPACE key or clicking the back arrow. Pressing the back arrow ONLY goes a certain number of steps back and then loses my origination point., 3) Why does the EMPTY CACHE button NOT clear all HISTORY. i.e., I go to a website, say Yahoo email, do my thing and sign out, then click HOME then Empty Cache and enter Yahoo email for a different email account and Yahoo recognizes my attempt and enters me into my previous email User name. Shouldn't happen, in my opinion. Any help here, WITHOUT run AV/malware detection/clean and delete registry entries since NONE OF THESE do anything positive??

One hour ago I was happily watching youtube videos under Linux using Firefox 20.0 and flash 11.2. I just updated firefox and it is now blocking my flash and prompting me to update. The problem is I can't update because 11.2 is the LAST flash plugin for firefox, there won't be any other version.

Is there a way to prevent firefox from disabling my plugin?
