Specifically, often times I'll enter a web address and hit the Enter key to launch it, or click on a link on a website, and nothing will happen. It's like Firefox is ignoring the first click on occasion. Any ideas why this is happening? </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/cant-sign-out-of-live-or-bing#post-530 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 11:00:15 +0000 Woofus 530@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>This is getting really annoying. Whenever I sign into a live.com or Bing service (For instance, Bing for Webmasters), I can't logout of my account (I'm using the Firefox web browser).</p> <p>The error message on the Windows Live page says:</p> <p><em>Couldn't sign you out</p> <p>We couldn't sign you out because your browser is blocking cookies. To sign out, close all of your browser windows.</p> <p>To keep this from happening again, change your browser's settings to allow cookies. If you don't know how to do that, see your browser's help.</em></p> <p>I'm allowing cookies from both live.com and bing.com. What else do I need to do? </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/how-to-reduce-opera-memory-usage#post-353 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 11:07:13 +0000 JeffNox 353@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>I've switched back to the Opera browser (v.10) recently, because Firefox 3.6 was taking up too much memory, and if I had more than a certain number of tabs open, it would crash. </p> <p>Besides, I love the new Opera browser. The find functionality now works similar to Firefox (it finds items on the page and highlights them, and even shades out the background so you can easily find the keywords you're looking for). </p> <p>Anyways, while Opera is working fine, it still appears to be taking up way too much memory (when I check the opera.exe process in task manager). </p> <p>So, anyone here know some tips for reducing Opera memory usage and consumption? </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/png-on-png-transparency-in-ie-8#post-814 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 15:07:38 +0000 Woofus 814@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>I can't seem to get PNG transparency working in Internet Explorer 8. Actually, PNG transparency works, but if I lay another transparent PNG on top of the first one, the top layer PNG gets a white background, which looks terrible.</p> <p>My temporary solution is to simply merge the two into one image, but considering that Firefox and other browsers are able to layer transparent PNG's, I'm wondering why this isn't possible yet in IE? Maybe in IE 9? </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/firefox-4-how-to-clear-cache#post-905 Sat, 14 May 2011 10:33:45 +0000 miraculix 905@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>How do I clear the cache in the new Firefox 4?

Regardless of the option I pick (Allow or block), the dialog keeps popping up, essentially preventing me from using Firefox at all.</p> <p>Any ideas how to get Firefox to stop asking for cookies when I try and load a local (offline) file? </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/64-bit-flash-player#post-213 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 11:32:54 +0000 JeffNox 213@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>I just upgraded to 64-bit Firefox (Shiretoko), and it's amazing how much faster it runs and how much less memory it consumes, despite me having a gazillion tabs open &lt;img src=&quot;http://forum.werockyourweb.com/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>Only problem is that the Flash Player isn't working.

I know you can use Ctrl+Z in Opera, which I love, to undo any action, including the accidental closing of a tab. </p> <p>However, using this doesn't work in Firefox, and when I browse to Edit &gt; Undo is grayed out. Is there a way to bring back tabs, besides browsing my history, that I closed accidentally in Firefox? </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/disable-you-are-using-an-outdated-browser#post-580 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 13:43:59 +0000 forumator 580@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>Recently, when starting Internet Explorer 8, I get an annoying bar on top that says "You are using an outdated browser. For a better experience using this site, please upgrade to a modern web browser." </p> <p>Ironically, it then lists Firefox first, followed by IE, Safari, Chrome, and Opera. But I'm already using IE 8 so why does this crap keep showing up? </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/youtube-wont-play-in-firefox#post-506 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 06:59:18 +0000 andy 506@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>This has only happened recently, but is now happening consistently: I cannot get a Youtube video to play when it's embedded in (hosted by) another website. That is - Youtube videos will only play on Firefox if I view them directly on youtube.com.</p> <p>Has anyone else experienced this issue? </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/opera-failed-to-reserve-heap-closing#post-367 Tue, 15 Jun 2010 15:01:04 +0000 obelix 367@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>Ok, I've got a Samsung BlackJack II, running Windows Mobile 6.0, and I'm getting less and less font of this phone. For voice, text, and basic address book, etc. functions it works fine. But when it comes to Internet, it downright sucks.</p> <p>I'm unable to update to Windows Mobile 6.5, which means I'm stuck with the most outdated Internet Explorer mobile browser ever. It's horrible, slow, and terribly unreliable. </p> <p>So I do a Google search for mobile browsers. The Firefox one only works on some Nokia phone, the SkyFire browser captures all my info on my servers - um, no thanks - I already have enough privacy issues dealing with my Facebook account. So the only viable option is the Opera 10 Mobile browser or the Opera 5 Mini. </p> <p>The Opera 5 Mini doesn't seem to recognize my keypad correctly - instead of the letters I expected to appear when I begin typing, a bunch of weird characters show up - which basically renders Opera 5 Mini unusable.</p> <p>Opera 10 Mobile on the other hand, is awesome. Here's my problem - I can only run it successfully right after installing it. As soon as I try to launch it at a later date, I get a dreaded "<strong>Opera Failed to Reserve Heap...Closing</strong>" error, following which the application shuts down. </p> <p>If I uninstall Opera, restart my phone and re-install it, it will work again; but again - only for a short while. This is driving me crazy!! Short of buying a new phone (since I'm with AT&amp;T I'm going to finally jump on the iPhone bandwagon once iPhone 4 gets released, but until then...), how the heck do I get this browser to work? </p> <p>I Googled the "failed to reserve heap" error and found virtually nothing on the topic. Strange. Don't people use this browser? Seems to me to be a potential market niche for Opera, especially considering it's lack of penetration in the desktop browser market. </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/64-bit-firefox#post-176 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:03:06 +0000 forumator 176@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>Is there such a thing as a 64-bit version of Firefox? I've got a pretty hefty PC running 6GB of RAM and Windows 7 64-bit. All my apps seem to be running great, but when I get enough windows (tabs) open in Firefox it really slows things down. I've heard rumors that there's a 64-bit version of Firefox, but can't seem to find it on the Mozilla site. </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/firefox-address-bar-disappeared#post-98 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 08:06:47 +0000 Sally301 98@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>I just switched back from using Opera 10 to Firefox 3.5, partly because so many websites simply wouldn't work in Opera. For a while I would keep both browsers, but in the end running both of them was using too much memory.</p> <p>Anyways - I just loaded up Firefox and the address bar (where I type web addresses) has disappeared. Any ideas on how to get it back? </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/link-firefox-2#post-61 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 08:04:24 +0000 Anonymous 61@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>Hallo,<br /> I often use Firefox, a great browser, and sometimes go to Tools - Options - Security - saved password to read and erase the passwords for the sites that I visit.<br /> Do you know if there is a way to shorten this path, maybe insert something in the toolbar to speed up this task?<br /> Thank you </p> <p>__________________<br /> http://www.giftideashop.net/ - http://www.geschenk-ideen.biz/silberhochzeit-geschenk.html </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/web-browsers/opera-spellchecker#post-5 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 09:06:08 +0000 obelix 5@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>I'm a huge fan of the inline spellcheck feature in Firefox, however, Firefox has proved to be a massive memory hog lately. Any chance Opera has support for a similar spellchecker? </p>
