Has anyone here been experencing Mozilla problems
I downloaded the latest version and it wont open up..I get this message

Firefox can't find the server at en-us.start.mozilla.com.

# Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com

# If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

# If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web


It's obvious that I can still get on using Explorer..so I dont know what the problem is

This only started after I downloaded the new version 1.5

I recently updated FF 1.5 with all the latest security updates.

Since that time, I've lost the scrollbar. I've looked through all possible settings, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the browser three times. I even tried going back to 1.07, but I could never get the browser to open.

Another problem is a hanging, partial dropdown box, which won't go away no matter what I try.



Any suggestions on how to fix either of these issues?

I run Windows XP Pro, fully updated

I recently upgraded to Firefox 1.5. Pre1.5 one could switch between tabs using Control-Tab (or Shift-Control-Tab). This keyboard shortcut does not work in FF1.5 on Mac OSX. What is the keyboard shortcut to cycle between tabs?

EDIT: Command-Option-LeftArrow switches between tabs. The online documentation is incorrect.

After switching to FF 1.5, iam facing these annoying problems.

1) Most times when i load web pages, most placeholders like image links, thumbs, even smaller icons etc simply dont load. All are blank. Reloading doesnt really help much, still many places are blank. Its a big annoyance seeing blank even after successive reloads.
when only the image resource is loaded, that single thing loads perfectly.
bloody flash objects, adds all load, images,thumbnails dont.

2) Not a big annoyance, still some pages fail giving the error message,
'unable load could not connect'.. when i reload it problem is solved. Its annoyance at times to keep reloading.

Regard to first problem, I use a laptop, in it all pages load perfectly with IE. Also both IE,FF work perfect in a desktop(same connection). So it should not be a problem with the connection.

Also i tried in another user, another profile, a completely new profile all these with no extensions, the same problem persists there also. So its not because of extensions either.

info : options->contents-> all image settings are correct with no filters. javascript, java enabled.

I run windows XP (with all latest security).

Can anybody help.. its big big nuisance.

Thanks in advance

I'm having troubles in adding RSS-Feeds into my bookmarks. Firefox won't show the RSS-Symbol on the sites, although they have RSS-Feeds. When I try to add the links manually they won't work. They are just... empty.

Here is a screenshot to show what I mean: Screenshot

The feed itself is a XML-File and I'm confused why it doesn't work, because the RSS from DeviantArt is XML too and that works fine. I have checked the settings of the other feeds and I can't see any difference between them (except the name and the URL).

I got the links from here: C64.sk (the entry from 4. January, 04:06 am, "RSS feeds of C= Homestead, C64.sk & Slay Radio")

What is wrong there?

I've been looking for an extension to allow me to display japanese characters.
I've downloaded Ruby Support and Moji, but they don't seem to be making any difference because japanese characters still show up as a string of question marks.

I tried to install the Unicode language packs through the Windows XP control panel, like so, but they're asking for the Windows CD which I, unfortunately, can't seem to find. After an exhausting search of the MS page, I've been unable to find the files available for download anywhere, and they want me to pay $35 just to submit an email request because, apparently, Windows XP Home has no free support service. Imagine that =P
I've also been told that borrowing a Windows CD to install the files won't work because it will recogize that the CD doesn't correspond to this copy and spit it out.

Apologies for half of this being Windows-related, but I'm worried that no extension will function unless I can install the language packs through Windows first.

Any ideas?

Okay, this may be obvious, but I'm tired and I've searched through the help file as well as my exhaustion will allow.

I was looking around on this site this site, and clicked the ITMS link. Trouble is, when the popup, well popped up, I ticked the "remember this action" checkbox, then accidentally slipped and hit "don't load this external app" (or whatever the hell the actual text is.)

Now I can't figure out how to change that option. I have been all through preferences, but can't figure it out. Anyone have a clue?

As of three days ago, my firefox browser froze and crashed on me during some downloading of images from the web. Now whenever I try to save anything (of any file type) or select any of the options from the tools menu, etc, firefox crashes on me. I have tried uninstalling, restarted, reinstalling, checking for updates, etc. Nothing is fixing this issue and it is extremely frustrating.

Has anyone experienced such issues before or has heard of such problems and has any suggestions on how to rectify this problem?

Thanks,
A very frustratingly dependent firefox user.

*This is the first time I actually use Performancing, so apologies for any glitches. BTW: Pretty kewl how it manages to post to LJ, nae?!!*

Here's what I posted this morning. Point is that (ok, I could have dragged and dropped ... which, really, is aweful kewl, but still ...) I couldn't just click to have the item appear the way I can with my blogger bookmarklet. K, here's my post:

Right off the bat I have to say I'm impressed with P/FF's design ... very elegant ... makes me want to get back into XUL.

But, also right off the bat I have to quibble with usability. F8 is handy, clicking the "pencil icon" is handy ... and neither blog the page title and URL. To do that I have to rightclick / select / click ... either on the page or on the icon.

1st, since F8 is there to call up the editor starkly, and since a rightclick menu item could be added to call it up in stark mode, I suggest that clicking the icon should blog the present page.

2nd, in the spirit of Web2.0, I think that sort of functionality should be configurable; since I care, I'm willing to go through to maybe a 3rd or even 4th level of menu ... once ... to have the default behaviour match (for example) the del.icio.us button and blogger.com bookmarklet I click to tag and blog.

[... salutation deleted]

What do y'all think?
[NB: this /should/ have gone here directly, ifmozilla had appeared on the blog list, which it didn't. *sigh*]

Haaaaaaaa ... the list of LJ communities I can post to is truncated [i.e. this one didn't appear] as well as being in very broken alpha-numeric order.

meh

I must have missed stuff about this:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/

but when it is ready it looks like the sort of thing I might upgrade to from Netscape. Anyone know what it is like or what the time frame will be for it to be stable.

I just upgraded to Firefox 1.5 here at work, and I'm still having trouble with sites like mapquest, yahoo and google maps. The maps either don't fully load, or clicking to zoom in/out does not work. I first noticed this after I installed a flash block extension, but it's still troubling me, even though I have removed it. Does anybody have any ideas what the problem may be?

I'm using it on a Win2K machine.
