My problem with Firefox ONLY seems to occur with messages in my email (hotmail-outlook). Quite often I open an email to see no message OR I click on a link to a video and no video appears. What does appear is a black screen with the sound of the video but no picture. Despite asking questions about this previously, there seems to be only two ways to solve this problem. The first is to clear the cache and then refresh the page and I am able to see the word text that wasn't there beforehand (I might add that this only occurs if it is a forwarded email with text; not if it is just a standard email text someone has sent to me. The second method that seems to work is to close off Firefox by clicking the close box (X) at the top right and then reload Firefox and my email account and then all seems to work. Is there a solution as to the cause of this problem and how I can fix it, please? Would be most appreciative of your advice. Regards and thanks, Anthony

When browsing to a java applet launched via JNLP, FF 21/22/Nightly will not load and deploy the java applet correctly, but FF 20 does. I have tried the following things:

- Install/Uninstall/Install Java 7 Update 21 - Disable/Enable Java plugin in all browsers - Repair Disk Permissions - Always use new FF profile - Clear Recent History / Reset Firefox - Clear Java Cache

One additional piece of information is that the jar has mixed code signatures. FF20 prompts the user to "Block / Don't Block" the code from executing, but FF21+ does not.

I have also tried signing the code as well as setting the Java preference to disable mixed code signature verification, without success.

Any other thoughts?

I installed mozilla firefox and I was asked to upgrade it because the version I had installed an outdated version. Once I installed the upgrade,my computer shut down and,after I ran start-up repair, the following root cause came up: bugcheck f4 0x3 0xfffffa80074c5b30 What does that mean and what am I to do to fix it?I tried to restore it to an earlier date but it doesn't work. My operating system is Windows 7(a friend installed it for me and it is genuine) and I have Windows Vista if re-installing the operating system is required. Many thanks.

After the latest update, if I leave my computer sitting for a while, when I come back and try to click on something in Firefox, nothing happens. Usually I have to come out of Firefox and log in again, which is really irritating if I have a lot of tabs up and I'm called away.

How can I stop partially filled out "Contact Us" websites from disappearing

If I want to contact a supplier to complain about a problem with his goods, on his website I find a form "Contact Us". This form usually has mandatory lines for my name, e-mail, address, phone number, etc.which must be filled out. Then the subject matter is supposed to be typed up in the space provided on the Form.

Many times such a Form suddenly disappears from the screen, before my typing is complete. Some of such disappearances are triggered by hitting the "Return" on the keyboard, when I want to start a paragraph. Obviously such a website is set up to understand this button only as "Enter" (because there is no proper "SENT" button) and thus sends the form up line uncompleted.

In any case, it suddenly disappears from my computer. The recipient will have no idea what the incomplete form is really about, and thus will not respond. What is really troubling is that when I go to my FF History and reload the form, or reload from the back-button, the form will only re-appear totally empty, and all my previous typing on the same form is lost.

Is there a way to set FF Preferences to prevent the disappearance of the completed content?

If not, there should be, both to stop the whole thing from happening over and over again, and secondly to provide an e-mail like record of what comment was sent by me.

I love using the add-on, Viewmakrs. It's one add-on I can't live without. Every time when I go to add a bookmark or Control-D, Firefox freezes up, and then gives me:

Warning: Unresponsive script

and I get one of these errors every time, even when I open a new Window:

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://viewmarks/content/model.js:28

Script: chrome://viewmarks/content/capture.js:98

Script: chrome://viewmarks/content/data.js:128

Script: chrome://viewmarks/content/editmark.js:270

Then, once in a blue moon, I get this error, not from Viewmarks:

Script: resource://gre/components/nsBlocklistService.js:771

TypeError: PlacesUtils.nodeIsLivemarkContainer is not a function

Can anyone suggest a quick fix without disabling ViewMarks? I've written to the author of ViewMarks with no reply. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank You.

ps I've included my Troubleshooting information below, if this helps anyone.

Top toolbar works, but the Search in the middle of the Home page just does nothing. This is the first time I have loaded Firefox, and I am only trying again as it was recommended to me.

If it does not work from day one, I will uninstall and never use again. Remember it does not work on two different machines useing two different Windows operating systems. Not a good advert.

(Before I begin, know I do NOT have the same problem on Google, but I contacted Bing, and they said it sounds like a browser problem, so they suggested contacting Firefox.) I am having a problem viewing videos in Bing. After I preform a search, nothing happens when I click on the Videos link at the top of the page. Images works, News works, etc., but not videos--I click, and nothing. I tried clicking open in new window and a blank page pops up. If I click on one of the actual videos in the search results, that works. But if I click on the Videos of ____ link right above that, I have the same problem as with the Videos link on the top menu bar. I use the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7.

⌘f ⌘p ⌘s ⌘w do NOT work on Tabs in any regular and consistent manner now.

Sometimes if I open a tab, and it won't close with ⌘w, if I use a link in that tab it will then work from the new page... When I've multiple tabs open, original tabs won't close, tabs that move on using links will close...

To print, I have to go up and use the menu... This is NOT good...

I have been at a site for a few years and this morning. Suddenly, when I tried to get on, I got the message about Adobe Flash. I went through the instructions 3 times. The program states it has installed. I checked all forum articles and removed existing AF. I tried again, with same result. Even the shockwave flash in plugs is gone and does not show up when searched for. This has happened in the distant past.
