Ubuntu :: Getting Firefox To Load All Favicons?

Feb 10, 2010

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.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Favicons Getting Associated With Wrong Bookmark

Apr 10, 2010

I've had a minor, yet potentially embarrassing bug in Firefox 3.0.x for many months in Ubuntu 9.04, and just recently also experienced it with a fresh install of 9.10 with Firefox 3.5.x. Basically what happens is that occasionally a favicon will incorrectly be associated with a bookmark until I visit the bookmarked web site again. And these will be favicons from websites that I do not have bookmarked. Normally I wouldn't care. But if I was surfing porn, sometimes the porn site favicon would show up on one of bookmarks. Which could cause a bit of embarrassment. LOL

It turns out through a bit of sheer luck, I discovered that the problem seemed to be a bug in the "Tab Mix Plus" Firefox add-on. Since I only wanted that add-on for it's last tab selected feature, I un-installed it and installed a much more light weight and simple add-on called "LastTab" to recreate that functionality. And I have yet to have this problem since then. I suppose it's possible that it could be an interaction problem between add-ons. So just for completeness of information, here's a list of all my add-ons prior to un-installing Tab Mix Plus and installing LastTab.

Ubuntu :: Natty - Animated Favicons In Firefox Slowdown Pc ?

May 8, 2011

Does anyone else have problems when loading an animated gif in firefox? After upgrading to natty, firefox eats 100% of cpu each time an animated gif is displayed on the tab title, or when the favicon is an animation. I have an fglrx driver, but opengl animation doesnt slowdown pc as much as favicons does on firefox.

Debian :: Disable Favicons In Chromium Browser - Necessary Steps?

Jan 9, 2011

I have been messing around with Chromium browser. In particular, I have been attempting to set it up to open with various privacy features enabled, similar to how I have been running Iceweasel. I have sorted most of these issues out, by starting Chromium as follows: /usr/bin/chromium-browser -disk-cache-size=0 --incognito --proxy-server=127.0.0.1:3128. I have not been able to find the steps to disable or block favicons from appearing in the Chromium browser ui. I was curious if someone might know what steps are necessary to disable the favicons in Chromium browser. Alternatively, I could disable them in either of squid3 or privoxy (the two are chained on my machine), although I am not sure how to block 'favicon,gif' via either squid3 or privoxy, which should disable most, if not all, favicons in Chromium.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Can't Load Web Pages?

May 17, 2010

Out 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.

Ubuntu :: Load Any Webpages On Firefox In 10.10

Dec 5, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Firefox Does Not Load Plugins?

Aug 3, 2010

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

Ubuntu :: Firefox Won't Load NY Times Pages / Solution For This?

Oct 23, 2010

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.

OpenSUSE :: Firefox Won't Load / Solution For This?

Jul 20, 2010

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.

Software :: Firefox Just Won't Load On OpenSUSE 11.4

May 22, 2011

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.

Fedora :: Firefox On F11 Cannot Load PKCS Module

Jun 10, 2009

Just 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.

General :: High Load During Firefox Downloads

Nov 14, 2010

During 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.

Slackware :: Flashplayer (firefox) Doesn't Load Videos

Apr 19, 2010

Everything worked fine until yesterday, but now when I open Firefox and I try to load a video, I simply get the black video. It's like it is loading but nothing appear and nothing happens! The page is loaded but the video is not shown

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.

Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 Cant Load After Firefox Updates / Comeing Up As A Misspelled Word In This Text Box?

Jan 12, 2010

Ubuntu Software upgrades indicated that there were some Firefox updates available. While updating, computer screen went blank and froze up. I manually shutdown and after restarting, Ubuntu no longer loads. It goes through some steps but then it goes to a login/password prompt. After putting in a login and password it takes me to, what I think is "Terminal".

I am a newbie, but I love to learn. I'm reading the Pocket Guide right now. I have many questions. What can I do at the "Terminal" prompt? An even better question is: When I have a problem after an install or update, can I do a "recovery" to before the install/update? If I continue to have problems, is there a way to recover the OS without losing saved data?

I'm hoping that I will learn a lot from the Pocket guide. I think that Ubuntu is going to be the OS of the future.

Why does "Ubuntu" still come up as a misspelled word in this text box?

Software :: Using Ziproxy - Firefox Port To:9900 Fails To Load Any Website

Nov 7, 2010

I had no problem installing Ziproxy, as its in the main packages But how to use it? I mean, so far I could find out, to start it, I musst run:ziproxy --daemon ([URL]) My /etc/ziproxy/ziproxy.conf is full of stuff I've found on internet:

[Code]....

But when I run it, and set the Firefox port to:9900 it fails to load any website. The goal is to compress to the maximum the images, and other stuff that uses too much bandwich (like Opera Turbo). I really dont care if a picture is full of pixels, or not. I do not want to use Opera, just to enjoy a fast Internet. I will not install Midori, Iron, Chrome, eLink or Arora. I want to continue with my usual Firefox and opera. The advantage is that in Firefox, I have NoScript, and other several improvements/extensions, which I cant enjoy in Opera.

I think the fault is, to include four different parameters (Address,Port,NextProxy,NextPort) that are probably for the same thing. Also had thought that perhaps there is some way to apply the proxy system-wide, not only in the Firefox settings. Maybe by editing the configuration of Networkmanager?

Ubuntu :: How To Load Firefox With "undecorated" Window

Firefox is auto started on our little netbook, and I am making the most of the small screen by auto-hiding the task bar, and keeping menus & tools to a minimum. Undecorating the window also helps, but I can't find a way to do this automatically when Firefox loads.

Ubuntu :: Connection - Load A Website Taking To Long To Respond And Sometimes Doesn't Load

Oct 2, 2010

When i open one of the web browsers i use and try to load a web site it's taking to long to respond and sometimes it doesnt load the website at all. I have tried with firefox,epiphany,opera with all the same results. I am sure that this is not a problem with my internet connection because i don't have these problems with windows.Also the network manager connection settings are correct

I also tried choosing the old kernel(2.6.32.24) to boot from but no success.The problem is the same as if i am using the 2.6.32.25 kernel. The strange thing is that i can download packages from synaptic with full speed. Last think.I have recently downloaded the recommended updates from the update manager but i don't remember what are the things that where updated.
