I am using firefox portable 16.0.2 as i am at work and do not have admin privileges. When i open You tube, firefox asks me to update adobe flash player. Flash player is installed and i can see videos using Chrome and IE. It was working fine a few days ago. I am guessing that adobe came up with some newer version and firefox wants me to update. I understand they do this cos they think the older version may have security risks etc. But i cannot update it (cannot ask the admin, they never agree). Is there a solution to this.

thanks.

Two questions please... First one is above for the tab function. In Safari I just need to press control+option+tab to indent a tab within a text edit box on a website. This function is being used more via cloud and mobile capability.

Second... I can, in Safari, Copy and paste a site with tables. Works great in Safari. When I try to do this in FF I lose the formatting of the tables and it just give plain text without the tabled fields.

I would love to use FF because the compatibility if much greater than Safari, but... I need my functionality as well to do my work to the best and quickest ability.

Thank you

I keep getting error messages it gets worse everytime Firefox is updated but lately it's 20 to 30 times a day..I have tried all the suggested troubleshooting methods nothing works..I even tried it in Safe Mode it mainly happens on Facebook on all pages and especially when I try to play my Farmville game I don't know what to do any suggestions from anybody??

Hi

Some of YouTube videos (not all of them) are not working for me. the videos isn't running, its just a blank box.

I have Firefox 16.0.2 I also have Flash 11.4 (was 11.3 and both didn't work out well) I also downgrade to 10.2 and it did not help ether. I also run Firefox on the Safe mode with all Addons/Extensions Disabled and that did not help too. I also installed the latest Realplayer. I tried disable/enable Hardware Accelerator.

each time I try a solution I hit the Ctrl+F5.

my current theme is Default.

I just tried to Reset Firefox to its factory settings , and that did NOT solve the problem.

All of the videos that are not working on Firefox are working on IE9 on the same PC at the same time without problems.

Have uninstalled Adobe Flash Plug-in and reinstalled latest version. Had recently downloaded FF 19.0.1 and when I did a System Restore to last week which was before this problem started, went back to FF 16.2. Checked and all my plug-ins are up to date. Don't know what else to try. Please help!

P.S. Didn't update FF previously because I was trying to retain Red Cats with Green Flavor add-on.

I use to be able to view local PHP files normally in Firefox with the PHP parts not rendered while the HTML parts are. Now all it does is ask whether I want to open or save it.

I've tried editing FF options so that it previews in FF but it doesn't accept any changes. I've cleared my cache and all that. I've tried deleting the mimeTypes.rdf file thing but I can't even find the folder it's in. I've tried disabling/enabling "prompts.tab_modal.enabled" in about:config and restarting FF.

All are no-go solutions.

Web PHP pages are loading properly, this problem only comes when I'm trying to load local PHP files. I don't want to install XAMPP or PHP on my computer just to view local files as I never had this problem before.

In the meantime, I've installed Chrome and it's loading a simple local PHP file just fine whereas FF is asking me to save/download when opening the SAME file. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have looked and haven't found anything on this subject. I'm using Firefox 16.0.2. on a Windows 7 system. I get these ads in a banner covering the bottom of my screen. If I click the "X" button, it will disappear for a little bit and reappear. If I click the "disable" button, it'll appear as a side bar and it doesn't have a "disable" button on it, just an "about this ad" button.

If I click it's "X" button, it reappears as a banner at the bottom of the screen. While the ad is in the side bar position, I get this annoying banner at the bottom saying "related: ".

How do I disable this? It's annoying and I get enough ads on the websites I search.

Changing from AT&T to Roadrunner, says ........ Proxy Servers - A proxy server lies in between your computer and the Internet. When you request a web page or other Internet content through your computer, you connect to your proxy. The proxy then requests the web page or content you're searching for on your behalf and returns it to you. The proxy's actions are carried out automatically and are invisible to you. A proxy is useful for filtering Internet content, connecting to the Internet through firewalls, and archiving web pages for quicker retrieval by users connected to it.

Road Runner does not support the use of proxy servers, and recommends that you disable proxies through your browser.

I do not know anything about technical jargon or anything about add-ons or plug-ins, I just know that typically if I open a PDF file from a website it opens just fine in the browser. However, I am unable to open PDFs inside of Adobe Reader. When I do, the error message reads as follows:

"Adobe Reader cannot show documents in this browser. We are sorry, but Adobe Reader is unable to show documents in this browser configuration. Please use your browser to download this file and open it in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. To avoid this message in the future, many browsers provide a way to turn off certain add-ons, and some are able to show this document natively. Please contact your browser vendor for more details."

I have no idea how to fix this, as Adobe Reader is installed and I assume it is installed correctly? Please, any help would be fantastic.

Opening the "Add-ons Manager" shows a message "You don't have any add-ons of this type installed" despite the fact I have many add-ons installed. In fact, I can still use add-ons just fine, they just don't show up in the manager. So, I can't access preferences for most of my add-ons.

I had this problem once before and was able to solve it through extensive Google searching. However, when I fixed the problem before, I had to re-add all of my add-ons to the browser window as it was reset to the default in fixing it. My issue isn't so much how to fix it like I did before, but rather—since it seems to have been only a temporary fix—figure out how to prevent it from happening again. See, I really don't want to have to do what I did before as it is time consuming. Especially, if it's going to happen again. Like, I don't want to have to reset and re-organize Firefox every couple of months.

The solution I used before, if I recall correctly, was deleting some preference files, re-opening Firefox, and then putting everything back the way it was. Restarting Firefox in safe mode did nothing and restarting my computer did nothing. I can't remember if I updated Firefox after noticing the problem the first time; I don't think I did, so I'm not sure if it would've fixed the problem or not (or if updating caused it because I had recently updated Firefox prior to noticing the problem).

One more piece of info is that the first time this happened to me was Firefox 14 or 14.1 (or .0.1 maybe).

Hello. I have 2 different animated gifs on the site I'm building with Weebly. One of them is a loop which works just fine. The other gif is made to just happen once. However, it will not replay when its page is refreshed or revisited (it does replay on other browsers). So I'm wondering what can be done to fix this.

I have been using yahoo mail on firefox for years, but now I can't reply to an email. Every time I try to reply to a message I get this:

Yahoo! Mail found the original email, but encountered problems displaying it. Please try again later.

I have switched browsers, and both explorer and chrome work fine. So, I will be switching permanently to Chrome if this cannot be fixed soon. I really like Firefox, but if I can't reply to an email, what good is it to use Firefox when I can reply fine on other browsers?

I've added a few Firefox add-ons since upgrading to Firefox 16.0.2 and would like to donate. However, the donate links which re-direct to paypal are not working for me (the donate links that redirect to the developers personal website do work, however). After trying to re-direct to paypal, it doesn't succeed and then turns the webpage a transparent grey, with the Firefox webpage visible underneath. Before upgrading to Firefox 16x, I was running Firefox 8x with Flash Player 10x (with Windows XP sp3), and the donate link worked fine. It should be noted that I am running Flash Player 10.3x because I also have the Real Player Download plug-in which is incompatible with Flash Player 11x. I've disabled other add-ons which might be causing a conflict (like Adblock plus and Real Player Download), and have enabled pop-up windows in Firefox options, but the donate link still doesn't work. I think my only option is to upgrade Flash Player 11x (which then I would have to downgrade after donating if I want the Real Player Download plug-in to work). Anyone else experiencing this problem?
