I have downloaded fire bug on my Emachine E525 runing on linux mint 14. I have downloaded it on an up to date version of Mozzilla Firefox . The problem is on the console when i type in java script and hit run on the comand line it only returns the code i type in without the result for example if i where to type in. alert("don't panick") it would return alert("don't panick") instead of popping up an alert message.

Thanks in advance .Actually I already tried in so many ways but still problem is there. The same method window.close(); is working in other browser but not in the firefox. If there is another way let me know. I just want to fulfill my goal is closing the window when I will click the close button.

I just used Firefox's plugin checking tool (the one at https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ ) and I got Potentially vulnerable plugins: Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183 Outdated Version

I'm using linux (GNU/Linux) and I know that there is a version for my system with higher number available (currently 11.2.y.z) but 11.2 series Adobe Flash Player don't work on my computer. The version I'm using is 10.3.183.67 which is no older than 11.2.202.273 (newest of 11.2 according to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html ). Since some linux users can't use flash player version number higher than 11.1 I suggest to take that into account that there can be an up-to-date version of 10 series.

On loading http://www.google.com and then clicking the "Sign In" it goes to...

https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?hl=en&continue=http://www.google.co.uk/

HOWEVER - I get a report of "This Connection is Untrusted"

...and to add insult to injury, there is no button option to add an exception. Just the "get me out of here"

This is Firefox version 20 - I just updated this morning - on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. Connecting through a new Netgear router that I installed this afternoon ... so I can't tell exactly what the heck is going on.

THIS IS URGENT AS NOW I CAN'T ACCESS ANY OF MY GOOGLE SERVICES.

Technical Details

       accounts.google.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. The certificate is only valid for www.routerlogin.net

(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)

Firefox 19 seems to have dropped the warnings about insecure HTTP(S) contents, i.e. warn about submitting form data over HTTP (no S!), mixed secure and insecure contents, leaving a HTTPS page and so on. How can I get these warnings back? Or are there now different warning mechanisms (e.g. showing an insecure form submission in adance, that means at the time of filling it in)?

"Settings" option is greyed when I right click the flash video. I want to disable Hardware Acceleration. I have disabled it from the Preferences window. But this hasn't stopped the slowness that Firefox develops while playing flash video.

Firefox reports below message when I try to open "mms://live.hitfm.cn/fm887.wsx".

=

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (mms) isn't associated with any program.

=

I have mplayer correctly installed and it is functional as I can play it by running "mplayer mms://live.hitfm.cn/fm887.wsx" on command line.

I have gecko media player 1.0.7 installed and I set below two confs in about:config, but it doesn't fix the issue.

network.protocol-handler.app.mms --> /usr/bin/mplayer network.protocol-handler.external.mms --> true

After the last Firefox update to Firefox 19.0.2, I got the error message "Couldn't load XPCOM" when i attempted to open my Netflix Desktop App, I did not get that error message when starting Firefox only when trying to open Netflix. I thought it had something to do with Netflix so I removed it then reinstalled but the error message continued. I searched and asked questions to no avail. I did a command line search: "locate /xpcom" It came up with a list of files relating to xpcom, only one refering to Firefox itself and they all ended with xpcom.dll. When i did a search in the File folder I found this: usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom.so .

One of the people trying to help told me this: "The error is caused by the lack of the path "/usr/lib" in the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH Solution Add the /usr/lib path to the environment variable in this way: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

I was informed to do the following:

"Get to a command line prompt (CLP) and use gedit to add that line to your .bashrc file: your.account> gedit .bashrc when you're done, just save and exit. Log out and back in, and from then on whenever you log in, it will be in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for you. You might also want to copy .bashrc to some sort of saved version; I use bashrc.sav."

No change.

I have done a reinstallation of Firefox and numerous reinstallation of Netflix all with no change.

Is there a chance that a complete removal of Firefox followed by a reinstallation correct the problem? i don't want to do that unless it is the only solution.

Since several months I have successfully used "lockPref" to lock settings (specifically, proxy settings) on Firefox 17 and Firefox 18.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04, and I have used the file:
/etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js.
Firefox 17 did not always honor those settings. Often it did, sometimes it did'nt. I also found that there is another file location some people are using (?), and this is:

usr/lib/firefox/defaults/preferences/vendor-firefox.js 

To be sure, I put my settings into both of them. With Firefox 18, it did honor those settings. So this was working well.
(Note - I have NOT used any byteshifting or anything, as one can read was necessary for old versions of Firefox. There being no clear documentation by version, I feel I have no way to tell if this is actually still required or not. It was working without any byteshifting on Firefox 17 and 18.)

I just upgraded to Firefox 19 - and voila (of course, I might say) again the settings are not being honored. This time they are NEVER honored. They are JUST IGNORED, EVERY TIME.

This is very upsetting - can someone please point out what is now changed?
Do I now need to use yet another configuration locking file location?
Or do I suddenly need to do this byteshifting thing - if so what is the procedure right now for this?

Settings I am trying to lock are:

//set proxy server settings
lockPref("network.proxy.http", "a.b.c.d");
lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", yy);
lockPref("network.proxy.https", "a.b.c.d");
lockPref("network.proxy.https_port", yy);
lockPref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, 127.0.0.1");
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 1);

When I am browsing I frequently close my browser to terminate my browsing by clicking on the "X" in the top right-hand corner. The expected result is the browser session is immediately closed.

have come across a large number of sites that capture this and then force me to answer a series of questions while preventing the normal close of the Firefox browser application. Is there any way to cause Firefox to ignore additional instructions when I select the close-button and just close? What I am experiencing is an abuse of how the program was designed to work. I won't elaborate on that unless someone really doesn't understand--I'll just stick to the facts.

I'm running a variety of Firefox on multiple systems, mostly Linux but 2 Windows boxes. I have 1 linux system running Firefox 3.6 and most of the others are on Firefox 19. If more details about version, os, or hw are required please let me know. On all platforms I experience the same issue.

Thanks!

Since the last week I cannot get to work facebook properly on firefox (im running it on debian squeeze). It started not loading facebook which was solved by deleting cookies and cache, but now I cannot "interact" with it, It loads the page, but i cannot accept requests, see comments, load other peoples profile, change security settings etc. Whenever i try to do something it keeps on trying to load but it never does

I was using firefox 15, I upgraded it to firefox 20 but the problem is still there.

I've installed a firefox marketplace app for my desktop firefox that I'd to uninstall it now, but I can't seem to find where they're actually listed at.

I can't see them in the add-ons page, nor does going to about:apps show anything

My system is Ubuntu 12.10, using Firefox 20.0. Whenever I use google Spreadsheets, I switch the tabs within one file with str + shift + pgup / pgdn. Since the last release of FF, this key-combination also shifts the tabs around. Is there a way to

• ) disable the firefox shortcuts ctrl + shift + pgup/pgdn
• ) let firefox only handle this shortcut, if the current webpage doesn't handle them
• ) any other solutions?

I already tried Add-Ons / Extensions to altere shortcuts, but none of those were able to edit this particular set of shortcuts.

Thanks in advance!

I'm using Firefox 20.0 on two mostly identical i686 Linux systems (Crux 2.8). On system A, Firefox displays a local C source normally. On system B, it asks which external program it should use, and suggests notepad.exe (!!) as the default. What on earth could make Firefox running on Linux think it is on a Windows system?? Neither re-installing Firefox nor moving my .mozilla directory changed this behaviour.

Certainly there are error logs in `about:sync-log`, but, if sync is working, will there be a success log? When I click on the two arrows going in a circle, it says "last sync <day> <time>". Where is the log of that sync? I see only error messages in `about:-sync-log`.

Firefox won't start playing webm videos until the complete video is in downloaded/cached.

http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2013/video.php?id=78 <-- example video or http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2013/recordings/09-02-baalman-480p.webm

Server side seems fine: Content-Type is OK (video/webm), apache2.2.22 (returns 206 for Range:0- requests),..

Problem exists with

* Nighly 24.0a1 (2013-05-17) Linux 32bit
* Firefox 21.0
* Iceweasel (10.0.12 from debian)

Works fine with other browsers (e.g. chromium, epiphany,...) Might be similar to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502894#c1

Is this a bug? An issue with HTML5

Thanks in advance
