I have created a couple of small pages that i have embedded into another web site. The embedded pages wont display on that site in FireFox but works on Chrome with no problem. How can I fix this so others on FireFox can view these embedded pages? I didn't know it couldn't be displayed until tonight and I have been looking for a fix since I was told. Some may see a solid white box and others see a grey box with a plugin is needed to view this content. However, if I view the pages I created on the server they work fine in FireFox. Just not when embedded into another web site. I'm stumped...

Hi,
FF 42.0 / Windows 7 64-bit
I have a problem with installing any extension that requires browser restart (for example Web Developer Toolbar). Addons that do not require browser restart (like firebug, adblock plus) are installed with no issues. When I go to about:addons search for addon, click install, it gets installed with no error messages but after I restart the browser it's simply not installed. By the way this problem has every windows workstation I checked in my company (Thomson-Reuters, Gdynia) and there is always the same problem even after fresh FF installation so it's not related to my specific laptop. I checked with local IT but they have no idea what the reason of that problem could be. This is not officially supported browser so it's not their duty to troubleshoot it. They just checked if the problem reoccurs when addon is installed with antivirus disabled and yes - with disabled antivirus software the problem still exists. I checked https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unable-install-add-ons-extensions-or-themes but none of the cases from above-mentioned KBs seem to be relevant to my problem. I'm not power Firefox user so I would like kindly ask for advice how the problem could be troubleshooted: -are there any specific settings in about:config I should look into? -are there any certificates that could have been replaced on a corporate machine and are required for addon installation? -any specific entries in configuration files that I should check before and after the browser restart? -anything else..

Until this week I easily handled my cookie preferences by NOT checking the "except cookies from sites" option. I then made exceptions to this default with the exceptions tab or through a cookie manager add-on. Since the last recent Firefox update, this no longer works. Nothing in cookie exceptions does anything. In addition to not letting me allow cookies, it will also not let me block cookies when I do check the "except cookies from sites" option. The Cookie Exceptions Do Nothing. I will appreciate any real help.

In C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles there is one profile (qanl58lx.default) and my extensions is in the profile folder, but in Firefox options/extensions there are none. This has been going on for some time, but suddently 2 days ago a window for every extension showed up and asked for updating, which was done, and now extensions were shown inOptions/extensoins. But today they are all gone again. I have scanned for malware and there are none.

Every day around 9:30 PM, browsing the web becomes impossible. nearly every site I visit brings up a This Connection Is Untrusted page. I have tried using different browsers and Different Devices. Even my 3DS doesn't work. This has lead me to believe that the problem is either with the modem or my service provider. I checked the certificate of Google via chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.xul, and it read ISSUED TO Common Name (CN) security.frontier.com Organization (O) security.frontier.com and when I checked it now, it reads ISSUED TO Common Name (CN) www.google.com Organization (O) Google Inc I don't know what fixes this problem since the problem stops at different times. It started around when I installed AVG, so I tried uninstalling it, but the problem didn't stop. While I'm fairly certain the problem isn't related to Firefox, this is one of the sites that I am able to visit when this problem occurs. I have tried manually adding the exception so I could bypass the Untrusted Connection page, but the page never loads and the next time it happens, the page is there again anyway.

I'm able to download the images just fine, but when I try to open them, I see the same error message- "The file "name.png" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize."
I've tried creating a new Firefox profile, running Firefox with ad-ons disabled, and just plain deleting the one ad-on I had running. (AdBlock Plus.) Deleting AdBlock Plus seemed to have no effect, so I put it back.
I know it's not the website I'm trying to save images from, because I have the same issue saving images from other websites. I've even tried right-clicking and saving stuff from my own Photobucket account, so I know there shouldn't be anything wrong with the images, and have gotten the same error message I mentioned above when trying to open them.
Also, I can save anything I want from Safari, including the same exact image files that won't save in a usable fashion from Firefox.
I really hope someone can help. This has been very frustrating.

For the past few months or so, Firefox has become completely unusable for me. About every five minutes or so, the browser freezes, and I have to kill the process in order to re-launch it. I've tried clean uninstall/reinstall, removing all add-ons, etc. Nothing seems to work. I've installed it on 4 of my computers, and it freezes on all of them (Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 10).
Has anybody had any luck fixing the instability, or am I just stuck with Chrome?

Firefox has crashed 17 times since September , it does this in the middle of browsing for no reason , it just closes with the "Firefox has crashed" box popping up , since October it seems to be crashing more frequently , it has already crashed 5 times this month , since we are only on the 6th day , this is getting old fast , its obvious the latest update did not fix the issue , if anything , it made it worse , i have changed nothing else on my PC , and have not added anything in months , so i am thinking its something within Firefox itself , i do not have Add-Ons , or anything , so its not that , i am about ready to change it from my "Default" browser , i am usually browsing forums when it does this (several different forums that i always frequent , as well as Craigslist , so i do not think its the site themselves causing this either) , and even though it opens back up after i click to restart Firefox in the crash box , its still annoying and especially since its done it pretty much every day this month so far , so its getting worse , this needs to be looked into , as i even went as far as to start using Internet Explorer to browse , so its getting serious .....

There is no common thing that seems to be causing the crashes. It just seeming can happen at any point which is very frustrating. Add-ons I have include addblock edge, addblock plus, lastpass and 'wikitionary and google translate'.
I'd appreciate any help as I'd rather not have to make the switch to chrome.

None............and I do mean NONE of the posted solutions posted permanently resolve the problem. They will temporarily, but inevitably Yahoo rears it's ugly head again. Comically Mozilla has admitted awareness of the problem stating "it was a glitch in version 35, but it has been corrected and updating to version 36 will take care of it". So what are we on now..............version 42 and it's still ongoing. The I.T. department at the corporation I work for finally got so fed up with calls about this that we are no longer permitted to use the Firefox browser on corporate owned PC's. Unless Yahoo has a malicious hacker in their ranks or there is a "cyber browser conspiracy" between Yahoo and Mozilla I find it incredibly difficult to believe they can't resolve this!?!?!?

Hello all! For the past few weeks, Firefox seems to be a large CPU hog. It uses around 30-50% of the CPU for seemingly no reason. I have ADBlock off (As you can see) There are only two tabs open (I am running Opera as well) I've cleared the cache, I've refreshed the download of Firefox as well. Could someone give me any other suggestions?

That would be fine but im running a 32bit XP system and java no longer provides updates for 32bit systems.
My video drivers are up to date.
Internet explorer displays them correctly despite the old version of java so this is a firefox only problem.
the little icon to the left of the address is a green padlock which should mean that none of the info being loaded is from an insecure source so firefox should not be blocking anything.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

About a week ago I've been unable to load 3 particular websites. They are as follows:
webchat.ppirc.net www.shrinemaiden.org waifu2x.udp.jp
I've used them all without trouble for months until about a week ago when they suddenly wouldn't load. Leaving them to load yields nothing, not even error messages. I've tried removing the related cookies, certificates, history, and all cache files to no avail. I've even flushed the DNS cache several times with no results.
Looking at the internet traffic via command prompt's netstat or TCPView shows not even an attempt at contacting any of these webpages. I've checked my anti virus (Avast) for blocks and even added them to exceptions. No dice. And as far as I know, the router's firewall has gone unchanged as well.
I can access waifu2x.udp.jp with IE, however the site isn't designed to work with IE so it's a hollow victory. As for the other two, they refuse to load as well, with the same results as Firefox. All three of them load on my smartphone, and other people running the same version of FIrefox have no issues.
I don't recall having made any major changes to my browser or operating system and I've done a malware scan with MalwareBytes recently which came up clean. I have not tried refreshing Firefox but given what it does and how I've done most of it manually already, I don't think it will help much. Does anyone have an idea of what's going on?

In Firefox i set an SOCKS5 proxy. But for the past months it is numerous case that i accidentally accessed webpages being not proxiffied / not using proxy and i was unaware about this and realised the fact too late..
For example after proxy managing plugin installation or i temporarilly disabled proxy.
My aim is to prevent me accessing webpages without proxy. I mean somehow locking the firefox proxy configuration so even plugins cant modiffy my firefox proxy setting.
Just want to be sure i will never access internet without proxy.
Having latest Firefox and WIndows Vista.
PS: i sitll need unproxiffied access to certain websites. I have the whitelist in my Firefox proxy configuration now.
