Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

When accessing a web page that tries to display a PDF document, Firefox says my plugin needs to be updated and offers to do that. I download the updater and run it and it comes up with a dialog box with the info below. Interestingly, even though I am running Firefox, the dialog box is "Internet Explorer Script Error" box. Note I can still view the PDF document by closing the Firefox notification bar that my plugin needs to be updated.

I have been working with ATT support and was raised to the third help level. I can send attachments with Gmail with your browser and I can send attachments with my wife's laptop with your browser. This has been going on for a month now. ATT support to help me be able to send my ATT e-mail with attachments. They say I need a different browser. I do not want change or leave Firefox. Can you help? Richard Schroeder dmtrans@sbcglobal.net

When I type into the navigation bar ... the place where you type in urls you want to 'go' to ... and what I type doesn't go to a url ... it goes to google.

I don't want firefox to 'helpfully' send whatever I type or mistype there to google, or to anyone else ... but especially not to google because they are truly evil geniouses!

How do I turn off ALL 'helpful' (to google, not to me!) forwarding of what I type in the url bar?

I have a separate search gizmo right next door where I type in searches. Where I have to use google now that they've broken scroogle.

OK just built a new pc and reinstalled firefox, everything seems to work fine except youtube where most of the vids show as black squares with no control bar etc. the videos also seem to be in HTML5 instead of flash.

Some web pages do not print to PDF after Firefox Version 8. The result is either incomplete PDF or the print progress stops at some point and Firefox is stuck. For example the following web page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln prints to PDF with Firefox Version 8, but it does not print with any version of Firefox newer than 8. Note that the latest version of Acrobat Professional produced the same results as well as other PDF generating tools such as "FreePDF XP" and "Bullzip". Also the same web page on this same machine does print from within Internet Explorer. However using Internet Explorer is not a solution for our needs.

Thank you for looking into this. Plamen Djambazov

I teach at a community college and need to use ANGEL - so I need to know about compatibility so I can keep teaching [not really into switching to another browser] Currently using a MAC using OS X 10.6.8

There is some kind of conflict going on between this computer and any FF version above 14. When I upgrade to 15, 16 or now 17, the search box on the Nav Bar is frozen. "Google" is in the search box with Google the search engine as the usual default. However, if you click in the box so that you can enter a search, the "Google" in the box stays put and the cursor sits there blinking in front of the "G" in "Google", but nothing can be entered in the box. When I re-install 14, it works normally as it should. This same phenomenon even happens at the support.mozilla.org website in any of the search boxes or windows where you are to input your question. Nothing can be enetered. I had to go back to FF 14 to even be able to enter this information in this window. I couldn't do it using FF15, 16 or 17. Help! I'm stuck on FF 14 and unable to upgrade without losing the use of the FF search box in the Nav Bar. I do not experience this problem with FF 15 and above on my work computer. So, there is some conflict with this particular computer.

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. I was running Firefox Beta, and I decided to update to v18b2 today. That was a mistake. Firefox is still running (and seems to be doing so fine), but the dock has no Firefox icon. I also tried opening Nightly (which has its own profile, I don't use my regular profile for Nightly), but the same problem occurred. I downgraded to v17 release and the same problem occurred. Without the dock icon I cannot easily switch to Firefox from another app. Firefox doesn't even appear when cmd-tabbing between apps! It still appears in Activity Monitor, but it's really annoying and changing the app or profile is not working. Luckily the windows appear in Expose, but it's really damaging to my workflow.

When I log into hotmail with Firefox i am unable to open mail or go to my inbox. Left clicks do not work. This is not a problem when I log into hotmail with Internet Explorer. This started occuring yesterday, 11/29/12.

When I use the google searchbar on the top right, i only get a blank screen in return. I have tried all the other default search engines and they are working fine. If i just press enter with a blank field it goes to google.com but if i for instance type london and press enter, i get a blank field and this text in the adress field: "http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=london&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8" I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and Firefox 17.0

I tried to go to websites I visit everyday and they are all blocked by a virus that appears to be from Mozilla (but isn't) and shows mozilla logo and said my website was blocked by Mozilla parent control and you have to sign up for it. It asks for all the personal info that you NEVER give online so I knew it was a virus. I am writing this in safe mode. My Vipre will not pick up this virus and Malware bites won't either. I deleated Mozilla and reinstalled it but it didn't work.

I was testing a XHTML 1.0 Strict valid website on my localhost. It had URL "http://localhost/visaita/tictactoe/Web/index.php?item_id=8&game_password=73|55fc84c0c432ad625a901caaa13108aa&chat_code=74|50b3b60c8be203.98819772#.ULO2EnC23XQ". If I click in URL field between 8 and ?. Then pres shift + end and delete the rest of URL, I get a drop down of suggestions. Then I press arrow left in my keyboard - suggestions dissappear. I press enter and my URL is immediately reset to initial one (with all arguments) even though I wanted to delete them. Server receives all the arguments, so this is not the case of a back-end redirection (tested).

The most interesting effect is that after such refresh ALL HTML LINKS stop working. They refresh page instead of redirecting. Even if I click on a link redirecting to another domain, page still gets refreshed and not redirected. I see it as an obvious and serious bug which happens in very special conditions.

All FF plugins and add-ons disabled. Tested in safe mode as well. One interesting fact is that this page is opened by a redirect from another page (JavaScript performs redirect), but the page where error happens does not contain any JavaScript redirection code. Error console is also empty.

During these redirects FireBug (when enabled) displays interesting stuff. It shows that request without arguments is pending infinitely while immediately after it another request is launched with all unwanted arguments.

Another interesting fact is that page is using late polling AJAX technique (not sure whether it has any impact).

It seems that it is some caching bug.

Hi. Blank space appears above address bar in full screen mode when I bookmark specific web page for the first time after FF start. Only way to hide this space is View->Toolbars->Customize->Done. But it appears each time after FF restarts. Disabling all addons does not help. This problem disappears only in FF safe mode.

Thanks, Roman

This has started happening since I upgraded to v.17. I close Firefox either with the Red X or the exit button on the dropdown menu. The next time I open, it displays whatever pages were open when I closed it.

I have always had Firefox use my Google account as my home page. It will not display.

It seems to me that in your quest to keep updated (how many this year...?) that you've lost a little something. This is very bad behavior and I'll just stop using FF altogether if it isn't fixed soon.

firefox will open and everything works until i load any fb games or videos, flash crashes.flash is good on my desktop pc. my laptop is brand new, firefox and flash are up to date, i'm sure flash is on. i dont know what to do. getting frustrated!!

I have my firefox 17.0. It did not load the css of any website and it can not play any video though I have latest version of Flash 11.5. It shows only black screen and video is not loaded.

When I click on Sta Button, a little menu get opened, It have a button with "Remove" captioned on. It's several months The Caption has gone, it's empty instead of "Remove". It was there since version 15, I update my Firefox immediately when updates come and it doesn't change anything. How can I bring it back and fix this appearance issue?
