Hi All, I have tried to load the above address on Mozilla but cannot. Despite changing all the proxy options it still will not load. My network is running without problem and this only occurs with this address. This site is a private one but all other browsers load it without a hitch and without to change any proxy config. I would love some help.
Thanks

When I print a web page, the other columns on many pages overlap with the content I'm trying to print resulting in an unreadable printed pages. This issue does NOT occur in other browsers so I've had to resolve by printing using IE or Chrome. I've tried ALL of the recommended fixes on your help topics with NO fix. All my print page settings are at the recommended default and I've reset the printer properties via your help topic recommendation. Can you help? My printer is a HP laserjet 2200d. My OS is Windows 7, 64-bit.
Links to id's and named anchors within a page in an iframe do not open in firefox

In order to force layout of my liquid website, I use i-frames to display content . It is all on my sight www.rdelutherie.com, and I am not displaying pages from other sights. The links to sections of pages from within the same page do not work in firefox.
I have had this problem before with named anchors, and in moving up to html5 and in making my site accessible for people with dissabilities, I started using <nav> eliments... and changed from named anchors to links to ID's like this:
In an unordered list I have these:
<li><a href="#s1">Subject 1:</a></li>
They link to sections of the same page like this one:
<section id=s1> <h2>Subject 1:</h2> <p>Blah blah blaaaaah, and bla bla!</p> </section>
Last time I researched this problem (a year or more ago), I was told that it was because of a security risk (something about being able to count views...and other peoples proprietary and copyrighted material), but the vaguely described reasoning made little to no sense to me nor many others, who can not even link to our own stuff. The Mozilla developers were rather abrupt and some were even rude in telling us to live with it, instead of trying to come up with a solution or work around, and closed the post and disallowed further posting.
The problem still persists, and although I am not a programmer, I have a real hard time believing that it is impossible for Firefox to distinguish between links contained within a document and site, from those on different sights, domains and what have you.
As far as I know, no other browsers have this problem, so if it is such a big security risk, what is to stop someone with malicious intentions, from just using M$ IE, to bring their evil plan to fruition?
In keeping with "Making the web a better place": Please address this problem, and find a solution, workaround, or at least explain why it is impossible.

If you go to nike.com, there is a search bar on top that allows you to search for different products like "Boots," but when you press enter, nothing happens. I'm pretty sure this use to work and i tried it with chrome, which also doesn't work; however, this feature works fine with IE11.
There is also an issue with the rewards link on bankofamerica.com after you login to your account. Again this doesnt work for chrome but IE11 works fine.
Anyone else have this problem?

Ok guys, this one is a bit more complicated than it sounds. A while back I was using a older version of Fox, I think v 15.xxx and had flash player 11 or 12. When using youtube it looked great. But now I upgraded to the latest firefox and latest flash player. When I watch vids on youtube they look real blurry and pixelated until the 720 hd kicks in. And even then it doesn't look as good and with the older flash player. I checked and my nvidia card doesn't seem to have any effect on either program. Is this a legit problem and which flash player version should I switch back to??

I recently upgraded to 36 and am running Windows8.0.
I opened up Firefox after the update and it worked fine until it suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. It doesn't say that it can't connect to the website, it just sits there with the loading charm circling endlessly.
I can restart my computer and use the "Delete Parent.lock" fix, but it doesn't last for more than about 5 minutes. I also can't untick the box for "Read Only" on the folders for profiles. Rather, I can, but it reverts after hitting "OK" and closing the Properties.
Refreshing Firefox after rebooting my computer worked for about the same length of time, so that fix will not work.

Win 7.1, FF 36.0 (just updated) All add-ons & javascript up to date.
A few weeks ago this problem began: I am not aware of any configuration changes or new software installation at that time. This problem began while the previous ver. of FF was installed, and continues with 36.0
It seems very consistent with the site: always on Amazon, for example - all I see is text - some of it links. Internal Amazon links lead to one after another text-only page. The page structure is recognizable. I have to use IE to do business there.
Adobe Flash Player Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.296 (stated by Mozilla to bee vulnerable (16.0 r0) won't update: message Flash Player Plugin between 11.0 and 11.7.700.169) blocked (Not 16+ !). Is there an alternative?
Control Panel > uninstall Programs indicates that Flash Player ActiveX and NPAPI & Shockwave player are present somewhere: don't know why. I often can't play video in news media - no indication why with R-click - ideas?
I watch NoScript (which I have had for years) carefully. I also have Trueblock+ installed (it does a good job).
I know there is a FF refresh function, but am loth to have everything set back to defaults, unless there is no other solution.
Any insights or fixes will be gratefully considered. Thanks!
Firefox 36 still blocked by WinXP firewall after manually creating exception

The new Thunderbird worked fine this morning on my dev machine, but FF36 (took the upgrade when offered last night, today's the first day out) can't find google. (Network equipment works fine, and seeing as I'm typing this from my non-dev machine my net is unlikely to be the problem.)
Went to a public terminal and read the support notes, got some dev in, etc. Came back here and have implemented the re-exception policy on the dev machine as best I'm able: 1) I'm running WinXP, and AFAIK am not able to update as MS would prefer I waste money on a new OS. So stuck with the windows firewall.
2) I have old versions of FF on the dev machine. After a bit of experimentation--went into the program directory and found the executable was last updated last night--I struck FF from the exception list altogether, and re-added (and enabled) it, as directed. FF was not operating at the time.
3) After thusly re-creating the exception and restarting FF, it continues to be unable to find google, or mozilla for that matter. Request: include a support IRC/e-mail/etc contact in the Help/About, so we don't need to have a working browser to get help getting the browser working.
4) I run AVG but have not enabled its firewall (I'm using the free 2014 version, continuing to update it as needed. Why screw around with another EULA??). I also run Malwarebytes but do not believe that it has any sort of firewall or other blocking component. I was able to update Malwarebytes without problems on my dev machine, as well as execute Git console commands. I was *not* able to connect to IRC via ChatZilla; not a complete surprise, but a Just In Case check.
Be advised that the version/OS/plugins info is NOT representative of that on the machine suffering the problem, as I'm unable to get that machine here thanks to the can't find anything failure.

I have tried all suggestions in articles relating to 'links in Thunderbird not opening in Firefox.' None of them work. The Thunderbird community said it was a problem with a setting in Firefox, that is, how Firefox handles Thunderbird.
The issue is, one link will usually open if it is the first time I click a link in Thunderbird. After that I cannot open any links to Firefox, and each click on a link in Thunderbird (including the first one) produces an additional firefox.exe in Task Manager (see image). Each of these Firefox iterations are generally 49,000+K. They do not seem to interfere with Firefox's operation.
I also cannot right click to 'open link in browser.' Only copying link location and pasting it into the browser is working for me. this has been fairly recent with the last two upgrades to Thunderbird and the recent upgrades in Firefox.
I am running Win 7 Pro.
Any suggestions?

This is very disturbing that mozilla is allowing these connections when firefox starts up.
FF36: Sites with background image flickers/flashes when going back to tab after 2 minutes.

Figure I'll mention this here as well.
When viewing websites with background images, such as twitter.com or my own website at www.markheadrick.com and I change to another tab for 2 minutes (this amount of time is repeatable anyway) I get a flicker of a black background before the page is fully drawn. If I have multiple tabs with the same background image, only the first tab will show the flicker. It's like it's loosing the image in memory or something. It has done this with Firefox in Safe Mode and with a new, clean profile. It has also done this with Hardware Acceleration off.
Windows 7 Pro 64bit w/ NVidia 550ti and 314.22 drivers. Newer drivers are more problematic which is why I have stayed with these.
Again, only pages with background images seem to show this flicker. Did not happen with Firefox 35 on my system.
I created a bug for it here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1137082

New firefox doesn't automatically sign me out from yahoo when closed

I usually save my open tabs when I close firefox. If I'm signed in yahoo I am automatically signed out and at firefox restart I am at the yahoo sign in page. After updating to ff 36 I find myself logged in yahoo at ff restart.
I have unticked the option to keep me signed in at the yahoo start-up page, so this is a very serious thing security-wise. Imagine I am in an internet cafe checking my emails and there is a power cut. I have no way to sign out and the next user will find yahoo signed in to my account.
I don't want to have firefox deleting cookies every time I use it, or checking every browser I am using of what the settings are. And even if I do, it still won't resolve the issue posed in the above scenario.
Any advice plz?
