After I click my firebox browser button on my unity launcher (or in applications) it does nothing. If I click it from my launcher it blinks 6 or 7 times then, does nothing.I have had this problem before, but a simple log-off log-on fixed it. I have even tried to restart and nothing changed. Is there something else I should try? Sudo killall firefox, says no processes, but I dont think this would be necessary after a restart even. What else can I do? Should I uninstall, then re-install, or is this unnecessary?
I was unable to access my Facebook account because a few days ago firefox stopped loading the page. I am using firefox 3.5.7 Ubuntu 9.10 with the latest (2.6.31-17) kernel. I have the Adblock Plus extention, but it has no effect on the issue (I tried to disable it).
When I start firefox the home google page will load and all is well. When I go to any other page (ex. cnn.com, gmail, etc) the page will load graphically, but then continue to load forever. At this point I cannot click on anything in firefox including the drop-down menus.I must force quit at this point.
I updated last night even though I was already using firefox 3.6. I had a problem with flash last time I updated. I reinstalled firefox and went back to firefox 3.5 without any success.This makes me think that the problem is something other than firefox.I am on a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5965 running ubuntu 9.10. I'd give you more information but when I click on system and go down to "About Ubuntu" it loads forever - this is another problem I need to fix. Ugh. I should never have updated
My Java plugin is not loading on Firefox. I need it to load, but FF doesn't even recognize Java is installed. It works on Google Chrome (which would be nice... except the plugin is buggy there)
Here's the background * I'm running Firefox 3.6.3, through the repository on Code: [URL] * My process list includes: Code: 23679 ? 00:00:00 firefox 23688 ? 00:07:31 firefox-bin * I run NoScript, but I've had it work before w/NoScript, and everything is currently allowed. I'm fairly sure it has rather to do with FF 3.6.3. * My about.config settings:
Code: java.default_java_location_others;/usr/java java.default_java_location_solaris;/usr/j2se java.global_java_version_file;/etc/.java/versions java.java_plugin_library_name;javaplugin_oji * My directory settings:
Code: patrick@patrick-laptop:/usr/lib/jvm$ ls java-6-sun java-6-sun-1.6.0.15
I was using my old computer with ubuntu on it a few minutes ago, and when I loaded up firefox... All of a sudden the pac-man music started playing. There wasn't anything else open that could have caused that, and not even any other tabs up... It sounds like something a virus might do, but Linux is extremely resistant to that sort of thing.. Firefox works fine on my windows rig, so what the heck is going on?EDIT: I turned off javascript, and the noises stopped. But what javascript on firefox could be doing that, and why is it only on my linux?
I am Using Ubuntu 10.04 fresh install connected to internet via VPN Network.Internet works fine i can dowload mail and send. But for some reason i cant load some webpages like Facebook, Adobe and etc.I install all the newest programs Java, Flash anything.I'm runnung Firefox 3.6.9.I tried everything disabled IPV6, Proxy. But nothing solved it
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.?
Why do I keep getting this error when I try to search something on google. It happens when my query has around five or more words. If a search for just one or two words I don't get the error. I know it's not google because it happens with bing, msn, and yahoo too. The connection was reset The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * 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 surethat Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Two very simmilar laptops connected to the same WiFi router loading the same web pages. Firefox on Windows does that for 3 secons, while Firefox on Ubuntu needs 1-3 minutes to load the same page. What could be the reason for this? Any idea how to fix it? The laptop with Ubuntu runs 10.04 LTS (lucid), Firefox is 3.6.10 and on any other WiFi network it loads the web pages really faster but why is much slower than Windows now?When testing the speed on URL...Ubuntu loads times faster than Windows. The WiFi router has been reseted. Firefox has been started in -safe-mode, both didn't help.
The basics: Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid x64 with Firefox 3.6.11 on a Thinkpad T61p 2gb ram/500gb HD. When I try to access my email via Squirrelmail, Firefox hangs on loading. If I stop the page from loading, wait a few minutes, then try again, I have a 50:50 chance of it loading this time.
I've run the update to make sure I have the most recent versions of software, but it still hangs. I've tried a few cursory searches, but find nothing referencing Lucid or that is otherwise current.
I'm having trouble with Firefox hanging. It takes at least two attempts to launch, having to force the initial blank page to quit. Often it will freeze my desktop when loading new pages, and I have to force quit. I've upgraded to 3.6.17 but no difference. The Mozilla help page suggests disabling add-ons to find the problem, but to no avail. Chrome works OK but I'd rather use Firefox.
Following this issue: [url] my laptop has been really slow. I think it's just the desktop, as nothing else appears to be that slow (except firefox loading).
I've looked in processes, and there are no obvious issues there. I still have all 1gb of my memory plugged in and I still have a 1.6ghZ processor (at that speed).
I am developing an extension for firefox that enables users to chat with any others who happen to be browsing the same website at the same time. The xul file adds a tool bar with a button "Enable Chat" in the browser toolbox. when a user clicks the Enable chat button, the server initiates the chat. I went through many tutorials for extension development. They have helped. But I cant seem to get my extension up properly. Ill just put up the contents of my files for extension..
/home/neethusha/extensions/blaze (blaze is the name of the extension) chrome/content/blaze.xul install.rdf chrome.manifest
[Code]....
I made the pointer to the extension in a file named "blazebutton @anywhere.com" and saved it in the firefox profile folder "/home/neethusha/.mozilla/firefox/d5ma3rr9.dev/extensions"
When i open the firefox in this profile, the extension is not loading...
I'm Dual-booting XP with Ubuntu Karmic Koala, heres my other specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium D 3.0Ghz family(15) model(4) stepping(4) GFX: Geforce 7800 GT (had problems with GFX when I first installed Ubuntu, I had to update my drivers) 2 GB RAM
This is a nearly fresh install of Karmic Koala, I've only installed whatever updates I needed, graphics card drivers, KPlayer, and Google Chrome. Because I prefer Chrome over Firefox I immediately went to download Chrome, and Firefox would get to the Chrome page and then crash. I then got the Chrome install file from another computer and installed it. Chrome will not even launch, so I go to search the problem in Firefox and it crashes on ANY link I click in Google Search. I also tried to directly type websites into the URL box: it loads the pages title (Ex. "Yahoo! Mail"), and crashes before displaying the page at all.
This is a very odd problem to me as I used the same disc to install dual-boot with Win7 and Ubuntu on my laptop which works perfectly, and now this happens to my desktop.
I have been investigating some security precautions over the past several months. I use Ubuntu now instead of windows and FIrefox browser also. I have installed BetterPrivacy, WOT, NoSCript and a few other add ons. I have SELinux, ClamAV, AIDE, and chkrootkit installed for Ubuntu.
When we browse certain web sites, we get an error about the server being reset. However, when I put the Ubuntu install cd in and browse with Firefox, obviously with no add ons or settings changed, we can browse to the site with no problems. We are trying to be secure on the internet and I don't want to lower or get rid of any of the settings / add ons we added. What would cause servers to reset when using Firefox / Ubuntu with browser add ons / OS addons?
With the last several updates to Firefox, loading pages from several different sites slows down to (slower than) a crawl - taking sometimes minutes. Most of the time, this occurs loading ads.
I don't remember what release this started with, but I didn't have problems before, and I don't have any problems loading the same web pages on IE8 (running on XP). This is the same on F12 and F11.
I have tried changing some of the securty choices, even tried blocking certain sites, but no luck.
Also, several times after a download, firefox freezes, although the rest of the desktop is okay.
On my computer, I'm using 11.3, KDE 4.4.4 and Firefox 3.6.8. Firefox is so s...l...o...w..... It's slow loading and it's slow browsing. Konqueror takes 1, maybe 2 seconds to load, and another second to load the home page. Firefox takes a good 30 seconds to load. The only message I get when loading from a terminal is about not using a shared database. I don't hear the disk churning like it would with a fragmented disk.
I can't believe everyone is having this response, the hue and cry would be enormous! Anything to try? Should I try loading another browser? I tried Opera on 11.2 and didn't really like it, had problems with a lot of content. What about Sea Monkey (Gad, I HATE words with monkey in them!) Konqueror won't show a lot of videos and I have problems using the back and forward buttons. I'll wait for fixes but in the meantime.
I have posted the following below on the Ubuntu Forums but have not got a satisfactory answer yet. My problem is as follows:I have installed Xubuntu on my machine to test a setup I want to to for my in-laws. Everything went well until I realised I have a problem loading some pages on Firefox. There is no error message but they are just stuck on loading and finally timing out. I have then downloaded Opera and I am showing the same problem. A bit of research showed it could be a IPV6 issue. I therefore disabled ipv6 in about:config and also /etc/modprobe.d/aliases - 'alias net-pf-10 ipv6' to alias 'net-pf-10 off ipv6'. No change - still can't get those pages loaded.
I have tried everything I can think of to get the Java plugin working on Centos 5.5 and Firefox.I'm using the sun version of Java that I downloaded: jdk-6u18-linux-i586.rpm
I do have it installed already on a seperate partition that survives OS upgrades. Do I need to have the same version of Java in my alternatives dir, or will the Java browser plugin work regardless of which Java is installed on the system? Another way of expressing this: Is the Java browser plugin a standalone application that works independently of the system-installed Java version, or does the browser plugin rely on the installed JRE to function? So I have made a symbolic link from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/@libjavaplugin_oji.so
There are actually 2 versions of the Java plugin - which one should I be using?
/ns7 /ns7-gcc29
I take it it's the non-gcc29 version? When I restart Firefox nothing is showing in the about :plugins window.I have disabled all the other mozilla plugins, just in case they are stopping the the Java plugin from loading.
Gmail is not working in standard view mode in firefox after recent updates. I don't know what is wrong but it is not loading the standard view, all other browsers load it well on ubuntu 9.10 So don't know where the problem is.
So i downloaded swiftfox and its great. its just not loading downloads with the specified applications when i click them, i.e. opening .deb, .jpg, .txt, it asks me to chose an application (list is empty, so you have to set a custom application)
Viewing any source on the Web results in partial loading of data followed by broken up multiple lines. It is occurring now with this post. Paging down I get three lines of "submit new thread" until at the bottom are multiple lines (no characters) after "forum rules". I put it to my network provider who cannot come up with any idea of what may cause it. It cannot be the hardware as the same condition exists on two PC's. Both are on 11.2.
I'm running ubuntu 10.04 and I get several weird pop up windows when I first boot up. I have tried getting help from the community forums and have tried several of the recommendations but they haven't helped. In fact, I think some of the things that I have done have made my computer worse. The first window I started getting said "Could not update ICEauthority file/home/dpan/.ICEauthority" (dpan is my user name). If I would click on the close button it would close. Before that when I was saving a bunch of sound files to my home folder, I got a message that my root drive was almost full which was weird considering I wasn't saving anything to my root drive. When I check how much of my root partition is used with "GParted" (under system>administration) along with using the "df -H" command in the command line it shows that I have only used about 4.5GB and have about 7GB of unused space on my root partition. Although, when I use the "Disk Usage Analyzer" (under Applications>Accessories) it shows that my whole root partition is full.
When I searched for ways to fix the "could not update" window, some of the forums talked about removing some of the keyring codes. So I did that, but it seemed that that caused later problems. I stated to get two windows on top op each other that were identical that said "The panel encountered a problem while loading 'OAFIID:_IndicatorApplet' Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?". In the same window, there is a box that says "don't delete" and a box that says "delete". I should mention that I think there were two keyring codes that I deleted and there are two identical pop up windows. I have tried clicking both the delete and the don't delete boxes several times but I get the same thing every time.
Shortly thereafter, I also lost my ability to get on the internet with Firefox and Chromium. When I tried to get on with Chromium, it would start to load but then it would stop and nothing would happen. When I tried to get on with Firefox, a window would pop up that said "Close Firefox...... Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.". It also had a clickable box in the window that said "OK". I didn't have Firefox already running and Firefox wouldn't let me on the internet. For awhile, I was able to use the browser "Epiphany" to get on the internet but after a week, Epiphany wouldn't even let me on the internet and it did the exact same thing that Chromium did when I clicked on it (started to load but then stopped and did nothing). When Epiphany did allow me to use the internet it wouldn't let me view PDF's or save pictures that were attachments on my emails.
I just installed 10.10 (2.6.35-24-generic) and my wired network connection is cutting out. I'm dual booting with Windows 7, and it works fine over there. I'm confident it's not a hardware issue. It works initially, but after a few minutes (this varies) the connection will drop out. If I'm on Firefox, I'll get "Loading" until the connection times out. If I'm using RDP to a local computer, I'll lose the connection. When it happens, if I ping a local computer, I'll get:
[Code]....
So I'm getting a bunch of packet loss. Some of the time, once the packets do start going through again, Firefox will finish loading the page. Other times, I have to click on network manager and click on "Auto eth0" which will give me the "connection established" message, and kick the network card back into gear. Sometimes I have to do this several times. It never shows as disconnected, but this somehow gets it going again.
I've a folder named "lynx" in my desktop . It contains ebooks - pdfs,chms etc . The problem is sometimes when i open the folder in nautilus , the folder keep loading forever and sometimes it shows two or three files and keep on loading . But at some other times , folder contents are displayed just as any other folder(i.e normal ).
I installed Drupal and there is only one site. It I access the website [url] where Drupal is installed I can easily see it functioning properly. But on internet it is not loading properly the colors etc are not visible properly.
How do i roll back firefox5beta to firefox4 and keep updating to the latest stable releases w/out upgrading to beta? The only extension that isn't working is FEBE which is incompatible w/ firefox5beta (profile, extension and preference backup). Have to use FEBE beta7 under Firefox4 so I don't think a compatible release for Firefox5beta is going to come out any time soon.
