I like to view some tv-streams of missed programs and other stuff, but more and more Microsofts Silverlight is used. The alternative Moonlight does not work, well..., it probably will if I accept to install a Mircosoft Media Pack (!), and to do so, I have to accept a Microsoft EULA..[URL]..Excepting something from Microsoft... I am not in favour of doing that on my lovely Ubuntu-machine..
I am using CentOS 5.4. I updated my firefox to 3.6.7. After that when I login in facebook and click anything in facebook, my pc log out, even from root user. cause & solution of this problem.
In Document Viewer, I can click on the fields and type in them, but after spending about 2 hours writing descriptions of courses, I saved it and... it closed the document I was working on, and loading the document I saved resulted in empty fields that could no longer be edited at all - clicking on them did nothing - it looked like a blank form, except it was also broken.
Is there any way I can actually fill in this form...
I use Firefox, and Firefox has been crashing like crazy on me for the last few weeks. Does this constant crashing have anything to do with not being able to update from synaptic?
The navigation buttons in firefox are not working and I can not access File, Edit, View, and History pull down menus. This just started today i think. I have 3.5.pre8 and 3.7 installed. both are affected.
Edit: Actually it is a problem with all apps when window is maximized. I cannot access the first 3 or 4 pull down menus or buttons on the tool bar unless the window is not maximized. This happens with konqueror, firefox and Banshee. Have not tested other apps yet.
Edit2: Upper left corner of desktop is also affected. The icons in this part of the screen are not accessible. seems that anything in that region of the screen is dead. just switched from compiz window manager to metacity and there is a black square in the upper left corner of my screen about 2.5"x 2.5".
I am newbie, and i am developing my website. My web-site's pages appears to be fine when i open in any browser (including IE, Firefox, Chrome) in windows.. but when i open the same website page in Ubuntu-Firefox the page has lots of css and font errors..is this a problem in ubuntu or my website? my website link: http://www.beakkon.com any suggestion on how to fix it? i am also attaching the snippet of a page of my website when it is opened in Ubuntu-firefox.
OS: Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit I tried to watch a video on Firefox through hulu.com and kept getting unresponsive script error upon the website showing up. On other occasions some websites would open up very slowly. So I went ahead and started looking up the problem on google, and found two areas where this may occur:
1.Google search toolbar or add-on in firefox which I cannot find how in the world to disable since it seems to come inside the firefox package (I tried edit-preferences-addon- its not listed). 2.Adobe Flash Player: I disabled it and the websites are no longer slow, but now I cannot watch the video on hulu.com which is the main reason why I opened firefox. So I went ahead and installed Adobe Flash again, but it doesn't seem to want to work. Gnash and the other program (I forgot the name) install properly on Firefox but Adobe Flash Player keeps giving me errors. This is one of them when I tried downloading and installing it from terminal:
Code: Flash Plugin installed. nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so dpkg: error processing flashplugin-installer (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of flashplugin-nonfree: flashplugin-nonfree depends on flashplugin-installer; however:
[Code]...
Honestly I wish all the websites would make their flash videos more compatible with other program, but for time being the Flash Monopoly still continues. Anyways, any solution or possible work-around?
By the way, as some of you may know Adobe Flash player doesn't support Google chrome for Linux (chromium). I would really hate to have to switch to my Vista Hard Drive just to see a video on Firefox.
Firefox starts to load, the window appears, but then hard drive keeps running for ever and ONLY thing that can be done is to click on Close Window, which will stop hard drive and get back to the desktop.
Suggestion posted to Delete ".mozilla/firefox" folder from my home directory worked initially,but the problem reappeared some time ago.
Other applications in Ubuntu seem to work OK.
How to correct this problem permanently - other than going to a different O.S.?
My notebook is i386 and I have moonlight 2.99 i586,with ubuntuwintv I can see various programs but not RAI uno, Rai due, Rai tre, they have silverlight 3. Maybe I need to get quicker my notebook. Is there a software to quick it?
i have a problem with firefox not starting properly, it not just that i installed chrome a few weeks ago this does the same. so i try install all the browsers i know there all the same, they just flash up then disappear
Right now I'm getting little boxes with hexcode instead of text-critical marks in my Greek texts that have been marked up. Also, I can't get xml to display in my firefox browser. What am I missing? Shouldn't Firefox parse xml and display something like an html page?
It seems that I have been running Firefox unbeknownst to me with a broken configuration. It seems that if I enable the Quote: Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above in Edit->Preferences->Content->Fonts&Colors->Advanced, pages will no longer be render properly -- they are mostly blank.When running on the command line, I notice that I get errors from Pango (whatever that is) and think there may be a connection.
I tried doing sudo aptitude reinstall libpango-perl libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common libpangomm-1.4-1 but it didn't fix the problems. (I haven't yet tried uninstalling pango since it looks like it removes some crucial components.)I also tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and it didn't help.I'm guessing that the fonts cannot be scaled.This otherwise wouldn't be an issue, but it seems that some Firefox addons forcibly ignore the configured fonts and those pop-up windows are mostly blank/empty and therefore useless.
I'm running fedora 12 64-bit with XFCE desktop. Updated to firefox 3.5.9 yesterday and that hasn't solved my issue... Just recently it is SO slow. I would even say its on ie standards I sometimes sit with pages "loading" only to find that the url soon changes to "search history and bookmarks" and the bottom left corner message says "stopped" - its most unreliable. at first i thought it was my sometimes dodgy internet connection but i have done several speed tests and after waiting ages for the page to load, the speed test comes up with about 2Mbps. This speed is not translated to the speed firefox is loading pages - several times i've had to stop all tabs loading and then reload them just because firefox seems to have forgotten its meant to be looking on the internet and "thinks" putting a message "loading" in the tab will do
Running FF 3.6.13 on Slack 13.1 (32-bit). Every time that I use FF when I close it the processes that are spawned when it starts never end. I have to manually go and kill them. It is pretty annoying more than an inconvenience since I don't normally use FF. Unfortunately I have to use it, every now and then, for some things and if I need to restart it I have to open a terminal and kill the processes.
I've tried re-installing on top of the version that I have there, and actually uninstalling and installing it again (of course making sure that all of the directories are gone), I've also tried renaming my ~/.mozilla directory (in case there is a problem with the profile).
I have moonlight installed through the regular repository and know it works as a plugin in Firefox, but I prefer using Epiphany. How can I get Moonlight to work in Epiphany? Using the regular Webkit version of Epiphany on Lucid Beta.
I'm using Firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 10.10 with the smooth-scaling ppa (only addons I'm using are Firebug and the Ubuntu modifications pack).Several sites with navigation menus the menu is spread over two lines when it obviously shouldn't be (eg. The Telegraph online, BBC News...) this happens no matter what the zoom level is set to. Chromium renders all these pages normally.
I am using firefox 3.6.18 in Ubuntu 10.04. My problem is that if I try to save some webpage in postscript or pdf format, I go to file>print>print-to-file option and choose output file as ps or pdf format. Now if I click to print, I do get the corresponding page saved in ps/pdf format but only the first page is printed(i.e., saved in ps/pdf format) this way, leaving major portion(may be eight pages for example) of the corresponding webpage unsaved. (the option: range of printing: all pages is chosen by default.) Why is this happening and what should I do to print the entire page? (one example is the following page which you may try to save in the way I described above: [url]
I just upgraded my laptop from fedora 10 to 12, in spite of all kinds of hassles I am nearly able to use the system. Except I noticed that whenever I connect to the ethernet via NetworkManager, both of firefox(3.5.6) and thunderbird(3.0) won't start a window and there is no error output. The programs just hang there so that I have to kill them explicitly. The strange thing is that if I just disconnect the network then they can start up without problem. I can then reconnect to the network and both of them work fine.
randomly firefox (3.59) will not close properly, using the x button will remove it from my de, but it will keep running in the background, and i cant reopen it, receiving a message stating that another ff session is still running. i have to kill its pid id manually. not a big deal but... any idea? (11.2/kde4.3.5 release 0, x86_64)
Everywhere but the actual webpage is transparent in the firefox window. I can't really see the main toolbar with file, edit, tools, etc. It crashes when I try to click add-ons in the tools drop down menu. It also makes my computer run slower and freeze up. Thinking it could be a bug from a recent update not sure because I think it started after tabking or another add-on was updating. I'm using firefox through wine right now. Using Ubuntu 9.10.
I installed the Moonlight 2.0 Firefox plugin via the .xpi installer. I'm trying to get the Moonlight codec pack installed, but it just isn't working. I agree to the EULA and it seems to download the pack, but every time it says that it cannot verify the downloaded binary. Sometimes it causes Firefox to crash upon download completion. I've tried searching on Google, but I've had no luck.
I have problem with Farsi fonts on the ubuntu. The Mozilla Firefox cannot show the Farsi website properly. I have already installed all Farsi fonts available Synaptic Package Manager. Anybody know hoe to solve the problem.
if you are familiar with the UFC you know that they show live fights before their PPV's for free on Facebook. well so far the latest version of Moonlight still cant load the player, it gets to 99% then fails. the only possible solution i can assume is causing it, could be that i dont have the Microsoft Media Pack installed for Moonlight. how ever everytime i try to install it, the browser crashes as soon as the install bar reaches 99% does anyone know a different way i could install this pack, or do you know what could be causing this issue an help me fix it?
im using Ubuntu 10.4 Firefox 3.6.16 Moonlight 3.99.0.3
the problem i am experiencing on my laptop (hp pavillion zv5000) which runs ubuntustudio 9.10 (this problem also occurred with ubuntu 9.10, before i upgraded to ubuntu studio) is that whenever i view a video on firefox, be it videos, metacafe, and generally any site where you can see online videos, the video glitches a lot, and after a few seconds firefox grays out, and is not responsive, which means i either have to kill firefox.i am running firefox 3.5.7 with the ubuntu firefox modifications 0.8 pack added. in the preferences, on the content tab the enable java button is not ticked. the following is the list of plugins i have on firefox:
I'm trying to watch some of my college's sports online, and they are set-up to use silver-light, but for me it is epic fail. Seems like others are having similar problems, but that is why this is a FAQ, or a FOP, frequently occurring problem. And if I don't post it again, its not treated as a frequent occurring problem. The college page suggests that I use moonlight to watch, but the iced/tea program it recommended broke other programs operation.
I just installed Moonlight but except for the clock that starts running, buffering and connecting to the video server nothing else works.The screen stays grey and there is no sound. I thought it might work when I install Java applet, but also that doesn't fix.
I have this annoying problem since day one.I am testing out Red Hat RHEL5, everything is fine except DNS look up.If I ping www.google.com, it doesn't work, ping ip address it all works;if I bring up browser, put www.google.com it doesn't work, can't find the name, however, simply put ip address there it works.My DNS seeting seems ok, and the DNS works from Windows box.
