I am having trouble getting Java to work in Firefox (Opera too) on Mac. http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre tells me "We are unable to verify if Java is currently installed and enabled in your browser." Notice that when I access the page, Firefox wants me to activate Java in a pop-up. I did this.

I know that Java is installed because I can open the Java Control Panel. The setting "Enable Java content in the browser" is checked and Security Level is set to High. I have tried setting the security level to a lower setting, but that doesn't help.

I have verified that the Java plugin is enabled. I have tried clearing Java cache via the control panel - no luck.

I realise that Apple has blocked Java according to this article: http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/01/31/apple-again-blocks-latest-version-of-java-through-os-x-anti-malware-system. I have been able to get Java to work with Safari (this doesn't help for Firefox) by editing the file /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist, but that is only a temporary solution, as it shouldn't be necessary to do this edit.

Version details: Mac OS X 10.8.2 Firefox 18.0.1 Java version 7 update 11

Please provide some specific direction for this error message. This message happens each time I attempt to launch Firefox. If I click restore, it will load Firefox. But to do this each time is very bothersome.

Other information on this error page:

This is usually caused by a recently opened web page. You can try: Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem starting an entirely new browsing session

This code work in explorer, crome, omniweb and safari but not in firefox. I have also tried on other computers.

Is there anyone who can explain what I do wrong?

Hello,

On my website I have a SSL certificate installed so you can reach it via https://www.example.net and http://www.example.net. To administer my website, I access it over https but when I just want to see the changes or simply visit the website, I don't want to see the the website over https. I want to visit it over the http. However, since Firefox "remembers" this website can be reached over https even when I type in the address bar www.example.net it takes me to https://www.example.net. I have to manually remove the "s" or enter the full http://www.example.net address in order to see the website over http. While some may find this default behavior desirable, I find it annoying and should I wish to access the website over https I will enter the full address with https at the beginning. My question is, how do I disable the Firefox from defaulting to https connection? I'd not like to disable completely the auto fill feature if that's the only way to do it.

Firefox 20.0 on OS X 10.8.3.

Thank you, Goran

for instance, a search for chris niemczyk gets me his pics but when i click on one, i get this page:

The previous page is sending you to http://emfan18.tripod.com/niemczyk.htm.

If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.

i just want it to go straight to the page or else i wouldn't have clicked on it in the first place. it's google. of course it's going to redirect me!

My sync has not been able to sync for a long time (at least a week). I have been on different networks durig this time and no other noticable problems with internet. I am on a mac os 10.8. http://mozservices.pastebin.mozilla.org/2365875

After updating to FF 20, the Google.com homepage is missing the black menu bar at the top (listing news, gmail, etc.). No problem in Safari, the bar is there. Missing only in FF.

When I check my plugins, the following three, very closely related (in my mind) plugins are listed, and the "Renderer" still shows "Research" when checking to see if it is Up-To-Date. It seems to me I don't need all three. I tried removing the Renderer (yes, I know how to do that safely), but Google seems to continue to reinstall it (with one or both of the other two...?)...I'll ask this on a Google Forum too, since it's their product, but wondered if anyone has any insight. I obsess about plugins that need "Research" - Thanks!

In managing the files on the a website my company runs, we updated a high-res pdf for download. Firefox is not reading the transparencies correctly, and every other we browser is views them fine. There are either changing the value, or in some cases, the color the pages show up in.

Any suggestions why Firefox wouldn't be reading the transparencies in the pdfs correctly?

There has been a lot information and solutions based around Text Enhance being a browser issue. However, I find that this cannot be entirely correct. My site has visitors using various browsers and recently I have had several visitors complain that they are seeing Text Enhance on my site and only my site.

I can agree with them as I have also only seen Text Enhance on my site. I have seen it using a brand new Mac Pro without ever changing the default setting. I have also seen it on Android, again without ever changing the browser default settings. Not only have I seen it using several different browsers and machines but also using different servers. I have never seen Text Enhance on any other site I have visited.

Could it be that I have infected my Magento site when I have updated some content?

I have recently followed some instructions from Botcrawl.com to remove it from Firefox and this has worked on my browser. But what about my visitors to my site blinds-emporium.com.au?

I originally loaded 18.0.2 (now have 19.0) on my new Imac and soon started seeing those messages. If I hit "try again" on the error page, I go immediately to the website. I asked about this on the forum and someone else said they had the same problem-immediately after they upgraded from 18.0.1

I tried to right click on bookmarks in "Bookmarks Toolbar" which are "Inside a folder" or under "Show more bookmarks" to delete or rename them but nothing happened! like i didn't right click at all

but if a bookmark in Bookmarks Toolbar is not in a folder and is not under show more bookmarks its ok and i can right click o manage it

Now to delete a bookmark inside a folder i have to drag it outside and then right click and delete it or use bookmarks library, which is really annoying, shouldn't we be able to right click on bookmarks inside folders and delete them there?

Is there any shortcut key for example holding command and clicking to rename or delete a bookmark until this bug is fixed?

I'm using firefox 17 with Mac OS 10.8.2. Since version 16 of firefox, meta-refresh in html code doesn't work anymore, but same code is working with other browsers.

Sample: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.google.be/">

This isn't easy to describe (screenshot is below), but I'm going to do my best. For some time now loading google.com in Firefox causes search text field to collapse on itself to be about 1 character wide (if that much). I can still type in a search query and go from there, but suggested searches barely works, and "instant" results doesn't work at all. Not to mention, since the field is collapsed, I can't see what I'm typing until I manually click the search button and see it again above the results.

Every once in a while it loads like it should and I have don't have any issues, but this issue pops up more often than not. I'm not sure if it's an addon or plugin that's interfering with things, but searching to see if anyone else has had this problem hasn't turned up anything. The search toolbar (next to the URL bar) works fine and is not an issue here. Has anyone seen this before and can maybe offer some advice? Thanks!

I got a new MacBookPro a couple of weeks ago, and am unable to get Firefox to load GMail. I've tried lots of the suggestions on here, but none seem to work. I have to use Firefox in order to have access to class through Blackboard, but I can't get my e-mail. It is becoming frustrating.

Hi Every time I open a PDF invoice in the built in PDF viewer - in Firefox Mac - I have to resize the the window and zoom the page to see what's on it. Is there a way to set a default window size that suits me better?

I use Google docs. In Chrome, when I hit print, it brings up a window with all the printing options. In Firefox, when it hit print, it tries download it to my computer. How can I bring up the print options in my browser? Thanks!

I can view a page regularly, like everything is normal until i go to log in. I get a blank page as soon as the page loads, and this happens to many websites. Ive tried searching in safemode, editing my firewall settings, removing cookies, disabling plug-ins, clearing history/cache, but i've had no luck so far. Anyone have any solutions ? I notice that every page i load includes ".php" in the URL bar. Thanks in advance
