I'm running centos 5 on my other pc, the latest version downloadable, and when i go to run firefox or konqueror to browse the web, they don't load. there is no errors, or errors in the logs, so i don't know what to do.
View 5 RepliesI have been trying to transfer my Bookmarks from Firefox to Konqueror and am not having much luck. I have just loaded KDE onto Fedora 14 and am having quite a bit of fun going through all the different items in it . I would like to use Konqueror with all my previous Bookmarks in Firefox
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have developed an audio problem; although continue to get sound with kaffeine and aamrok, firefox recently quit playing sound; no software updates were performed, it just quit. It has always been buggy, like audio would cut out if another program tried to play a sound and firefox and/or aamrok would have to be restarted. this is different though, it's nothing to do with a conflict it just doesn't work. It won't play sound from flash videos from the internet or locally but I can see the vids, and it won't play mp3's (these both will play fine with aamrok or kaffeine). It worked fine until all of a sudden, Also, konqueror is exhibiting the same behavior as firefox, and it too used to play sound just fine.
I have already used yast to update anything to do with "codec" "xine" "flash" and "firefox"
Is it possible to install Firefox xpi extensions into Konqueror? I can't find anything about this. All I can determine is that this xpi is a compressed directory with javascript and config files.
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust this Konqueror issue bothers me really bad. So decide to share it here and see if anyone has a better solution.
Java support is really poor in konqueror.
For example,
1. on webex.com and just try to join a test meeting. It never opens the meeting window however there is no error or any kind prompt.
2. facebook.com, if you try to upload a picture, you have to choose simple uploading tool in konqueror in order to do the job.
Why java can not be made work properly like in firefox and chrome? Is there any critical hurdle that I did not know?
My solution: use konqueror for normal browsing and switch to firefox or chrome for java sites. This bothers, right?
I have KDE 4.4 and Firefox 3.6. Whenever I click a link from a plasmoid widget, it tries to open Konqueror and another instance of Firefox. The page actually loads in the opened Firefox window, but the task bar shows an instance of Konqueror and another instance of Firefox, that keeps loading for a while then close. See image below:
I currently have setup the browser default application as "firefox". If I set this option to use the default application, it opens in Konqueror and I don't see additional windows in the task bar. If I change the option to "firefox %u", then it exhibit the same issue, but the process is much faster, so the loading windows don't stay for long in the task bar. Additionally, it opens the link on a new Firefox window and opens the page twice. Although Konqueror is not loaded, the bouncing icon next to the mouse pointer shows up and stay for a while.
At work I have 2 PCs on a KVM switch. One windows and a centos 5.3 box. Both are connected to an ADSL service but the windows box is logged into the company VPN most of the time. The centos box comes in useful as I can get to sites the company doesn't like Anyway, today started the same as usual but later I noticed that the centos box was having problems with gmail. I tried to navigate to another site and that is the last internet site I have visited on that box! Whenever I start up firefox I can see "looking up [URL] and then the "address not found"/"page load error" screen.
So a few simple checks - ethernet cable is okay. I have a samba server running on this box so can I access a share from the windows box? Yes. I can ping from windows to linux and linux to windows okay. The only thing I can not do is access the internet which was working this morning. I tried changing the network settings - no proxy, auto detect proxy. There is no proxy server but nothing changed. So, firefox is stuffed. But the network is active.
Today, I try to update firefox by Package Updater but show error by bellow. "Missing Dependency: xulrunner >= 1.9.0.19-1 is needed by package firefox-3.0.19-1.el5.centos.x86_64 (CentOS5updates)"

I've uninstalled the package and reinstalled to no avail.
Firefox won't load. On clicking the icon in the plasma box the bouncing loading icon appears but after about 30 secs it disappears and nothing further happens.
I am running Suse 11.1. Not sure of the original version of FF! I have tried deleting it in Yast and reinstalling the latest version with the same result. It certainly used to work but as the machine is primarily a mail server, FF is not used much.
I am unable to load Firefox.
The following error message occurs when I attempt to load it from the terminal.code...
I can't stand it when my bookmarks (especially on the toolbar) have the default icon. Is there any way (whether via extension or otherwise) to load up the favicons for all bookmarks? The only extensions of the sort I've found let you manually add favicons but obviously that's a huge pain for several hundred bookmarks.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOut of no where Firefox has just decided to not load web pages anymore. I've restarted my router, restarted my wifi card, restarted my computer, *completly* uninstalled Firefox then reinstalled it, still no luck at all. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'm stuck using Google Chrome now, I like it but I need the Add-Ons FireFox has (AdBlock Plus, Xmarks, DownThemAll, etc.)
Here are my specs:
Ubuntu 10.04 64bit
Acer Aspire 3680
Intel Celeron M 1.6GHz Single Core
1GiB RAM
40GiB Hard Drive
Basically all it does is sit there saying "Connecting to www.google.com..." for like 15seconds then gives me one of two pages, "The connection has timed out - The server at www.google.com is taking too long to respond." or "Unable to connect - Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com."Google Chrome, Skype, Ubuntu's built in messenger, System Update, and so on connect just fine to the internet.
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64bit and am having a problem with Firefox. I'm currently dual booting windows 7 and Ubuntu. My net works perfectly on Windows 7 and even on Ubuntu I was able to download a NVIDIA driver and 193MB worth of updates for Ubuntu. I just can't seem to load any webpages on Firefox. I have DHCP enabled but I also tried a static IP address but still had no success. I also tried adjusting my proxy settings in Firefox cycling through no proxy, Auto-detect proxy settings etc. but i still could not load any pages.
The error message is always "The connection has timed out. The server at ubuntu.com is taking too long to respond." I've tried other websites and can't load them. As a point of interest I was able to access my routers web config page.
To see what I mean take a look at the screenshots below.And this screenshot was taken in Windows 7 64-bit of what it should look like.

Everything on this computer is running perfectly except Firefox. I have Chrome, Opera, Konqureor, all working; however Firefox just won't load. It was working fine after initial install (4.0b12), but after update to 4.0.1 from the update repository, it stopped working. Seeking into ~/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports and I can't make any sense of it. Loading firefox at the console imediately fails and returns no error, and as far as I can see, there is no verbose mode. Same happens with safe mode and any other argument flags allowed. I downgraded back to 4.0b12, didn't work. I downgraded to 3.6.x, didn't work. I updated to 5.0 beta nightly build, didn't work. Moved over to 4.0.1 32 bit version and it DID work. So I am fairly certain that it has to do with one of its many 64 bit library dependencies.
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust installed F11 and found out I cannot load an external security device in Firefox - the dialogue window does not work (Edit - Preferences - Advanced - Security Devices - Load, then the OK button does nothing!). This means you cannot use Firefox (i.e. cannot use F11 at all) if you need to log in through a web page or sign web transactions/documents using a smart card or any other crypto token.
I can't believe somebody released F11 with a browser that crippled! Moreover, this issue has been reported to Mozilla in April, but they did nothing until a second report in late May made them finally realize what they have done... and still Fedora team decided to go for it! Read here for details: [URL]
how to fix this, or may be an idea when F11 will update Firefox (Mozilla has provided a quick fix for the problem)? I don't want to wait until 3.5 final release, which may be months ahead -- and I certainly don't want to recompile the whole Mozilla stuff by myself -- neither I want to mess up with a downgrade of the browser, or a second installation of a 3.0 version with different prefix.
I have a peculiar problem, that I haven't been able to find any other posts mentioning. Firefox is getting confused over my plugins. about:plugins show an empty list but the plugins tab of the Add-On Manager show them all and says they are enabled.It was working a week ago without any issues whatsoever. Probably an update broke something. Any ideas, anyone? Or people with the same problem?Plugins are Shockwave Flash, Sun Java, VLC media player and others.Firefox 3.6.8Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx
View 9 Replies View RelatedDuring downloads, the top command shows the Firefox process at 100% CPU. Yesterday I tried to download an .iso image. After a few hours the Firefox window would not refresh nor would it respond to input. I tried the wget command. It used negligible CPU time and completed in 28 minutes.
This problem is easy to reproduce because it happens every time I download a file in Firefox. It also happens when I use a fresh profile to run Firefox without any extensions or plugins.
This is Firefox 3.6.12 on Fedora 14.
I am running CentOS 5.2 on several custom built Advantech machines that are having issues reading discs.Every time I insert a disc into the drive, (be it DVD, DVD-R, CD, CD-R, etc.) the disc shows up as a blank disc, (this happens in both KDE and GDM). When I try to open the disc and Konqueror opens, it gives me a "Malformed URL" error (probably just because it thinks it's blank).
The odd thing is, some of these systems were built with a Plextor PX-760A drive, and they work fine, but newer ones with the PX-820A drive don't. Also, the hardware itself is functional because it can read discs fine to boot off of, it just has this issue once in CentOS. I tried booting with the CentOS Live CD, and it still gives me the same problem, but when I boot to Ubuntu 8.4 from my USB stick, I don't have this issue- Plextor PX-820A DVD-RW drive (IDE)- Intel Pentium D 3.4GHz- PLENTY-o-RAM
I have an odd problem loading certain webpages (not all) from the New York Times in Firefox.
If I try to load this for instance:http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/1...-shoes-or-not/
the page will not load and I see the text "Waiting for graphics8.nytimes.com..." in the status bar.
I did a complete reinstallation of Firefox and it worked fine (yesterday). Today the problem is back again.
I tried the page on a friend's computer also running Firefox in Ubuntu and it worked fine.
I tried it in Windows Firefox and it worked fine.
I have the same add-ons/extensions in Windows as I have in Ubuntu and, in any case, I have removed them all once and tried the page with the same non-result. I also noted that the same thing happens if I try to load the page in Google Chrome in Ubuntu.
Is there anyway to install/load Active X on a Ubuntu/Firefox workstation?

I changed anything, I tried to "reinstall" the .so flash plugin... but no luck :S
I also tried to start firefox from command line to see if there's something wrong but nothing...
It's like the loading time for the flash video is infinite.
