Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

A great many websites are now displaying small boxes with strings of letters or numbers where icons used to be present. Netflix and AOL are my primary examples but there are many others. Many of these boxes appear where there should be some kind of interactive icon (like a forward or back button or a play button on netflix). I have checked the settings for allowing a website to choose it's own font and it is set to allow websites to do that. I have included a screen shot with the area's of concern circled in red.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Windows 7 x64 Firefox 39.0.3

I've always managed to play music files in Amazon until either a recent Windows or Firefox update - don't know which came first. Regardless now as Amazon apparently use m3u files & I don't seem to have a plugin for them it keeps wanting me to download or save them etc, which isn't what I want to do with a few dozen I want to sample.

I have the VLC media and WMP plugins both set to always active & have rebooted Firefox numerous times while working through this issue, but presumably neither of these work for m3u files?? I've read more posts about somewhat similar issues but none of the various fixes have worked for me e.g. about:options plugins - True (not sure exactly which one it was I had to change) . I've downloaded & tried installing a "media pack" for Win 7 but that didn't work either.

Never had this problem until recently through multiple updates of both Windows &/or Firefox so a bit stumped as to what else to do. The only file types mentioned in Options are mp3/4/mpeg4/wmp.

Appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

I upgraded to 40.0.0 today. I found a site with an RSS feed that I wanted to follow. I keep my RSS feeds in folders on my Bookmark Toolbar. I tried to load it to the appropriate folder, but it loaded to the toolbar itself. The feed showed new entries. I tried to move it to the proper folder and it stopped listing any RSS entries. I again tried to save the new feed to the proper folder. This time it did not appear on the Bookmark toolbar, but it did not appear in the folder I had said to load it to. I went back to 39.0.3 and it works properly. I am running the LiveClick addon, if that helps. I am posting using 39.0.3. All other extensions are what were in use under 40.0.0

i have had this problem for couple weeks updating every think kinda make it worth now it hangs my windows and i have to restart it usually happen when playing videos or browsing heavy graphics web site and it loads very slow and crash and hang every single second .

Hi I can't open some https websites like https://openssl.org/ I get this error message:

Secure Connection Failed

The connection to openssl.org was interrupted while the page was loading.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

This only happens on my default profile and other profiles are OK. I started firefox in safe mode (Add-ons disabled) and the problem still exist. I'm using firefox 39.0.3 on windows 7 and I don't want to update to a newer version.

Hangouts opens fine in IE...but when using Firefox, when trying to open a video hangout call, Firefox prompts me to d-load the plug-in, which i do. once the plug in is d-loaded, I click to install it, which it does and tells me it was sucessful....then my PC justs hangs-never actually opens the hanouts chat/video window..even "click here if page doesnt refresh" doesnt work..any suggestions?

mybrowseraddon.com's firewall-lite for instance appears for me to install instead of what I selected - Flashblock. Another of it's products appears instead of AdBlock Lite.

This is via the Install button in the list of add-ons after searching. IF expand the Details of the add-on the Install button at the bottom works fine, I have my add-ons now.

Running OS X 10.6.8 - Snow Leopard with Sophos 9 installed.

How do I block this not cool website?

I've tried removing all settings and add-ons, and reinstalling Firefox after deleting all data.

I mostly crash when I'm on Tumblr (both with XKit installed and with it removed), particularly on the Likes page.

This happens constantly when playing FarmVille through FaceBook. I don't send all the reports.

I use Adobe reader to print labels for my business. Every time I go to print a file it asks me what I want to do. I have adobe reader set as my default. I also have the box checked to do this automatically. I also have mozilla to use adobe reader in my mozilla options/applications/pdf.

Idk why it does this. I have to hit open, wait for the file to download, then the the adobe reader pops up, then I hit print and then my upc code prints.

I want to be able to hit print and skip the asking if I want to open with/save everytime.

Thanks

When I press Add-ons and select the "Get Add-ons" tab it is blank. However, restarting Firefox fixes the problem. Is there any quick fix (not refreshing my profile) so that appears on the first try?

Was using 41 and crashes started after a month or so. Reformatted and reinstalled and still after about 2 weeks crashes on startup and cannot send crash report. Uninstalled 41 and put 39 and immediately crashing. Does start in Safe mode. Heres the crash report

Have settings to clear all cache ad history when close firefox , there a a few sites that I want to save the cookies that are stored but could not locate where in firefox to save these cookies ?? Have these sites set to always allow to store cookies but still each time go to site have call to get access to site and get a security code .

I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 last night. I tried connecting to facebook a few hours ago and find I can't get in. The error is, "This Connection is Untrusted", with, "This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate".

I've browsed the help forums, and have learned this is because I have Family Safety active and am trying to access the accounts on a "Child" account. One suggested fix is to disable Family Safety; that is not an option. I absolutely must have Family Safety for my laptop.

This thread proves greatly helpful: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1075301. I did the first answer philipp suggested, "Trust this CA to identify web sites", and I have confirmed this change.

Now whenever I try to access Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Youtube, etc., I get this: An error occurred during a connection to www.yahoo.com. Peer's certificate has an invalid signature. (Error code: sec_error_bad_signature)

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

I've ran out of ideas. I went back to the helpful thread and tried the next thing philipp suggested: going to the webpage, "https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2965142", and then clicking the, "known issues for Mozilla Firefox users" link. The problem with that is the instructions seem to be written for a touchscreen enabled device; I don't have a touchscreen device, I have a gaming laptop with no touchscreen.

I know it's a lot of information, but I would really appreciate anyone's help in my struggle to be able to access those sites without asking my mom to get on her administrator account when I want to access those websites.

I am using FF 39.0.3, read where IE and Chrome were using a sandbox feature, I guess kind of like running in their own VM. Then in about:config I do see dom.ipc.plugins.sandbox.default which I left alone. My policy is if I don't know what I am doing- do nothing.

My question does FF have a sandbox feature I know nothing about?

Currently on Windows 7 64 bit. Using NoScripts.

Every time I attempt to launch Google Maps, FF crashes immediately.

Mac OS 10.9.5, FF 39.03

Not sure where to put this info (following your directions) > last crash report:

What should I do next?

I've just upgraded to Windows 10 and while trying to set up the parental controls I came across this issue.

When I open the Family website and try to look at the details for one of the kids in Firefox 39.0.3 the page just sits there saying "Loading..." indefinitely.

In Microsoft Edge it loads the data instantly.

See attached screenshots...

I tried disabling uBlock Origin which I have always running but that didn't make a difference... Has Microsoft done something to prevent us from using Firefox for these pages!?

Thanks a lot Thomas
