Anyone else with the same issue

[Blackspear]

Turned on my PC this morning and Firefox will not allow me to "bold" anything by clicking on the button above, same with "insert hyperlink" etc. Works perfectly in IE, just not in Firefox, nothing new installed, everything worked perfectly until this morning...

Cheers ;D

That's what we get for using beta software! :) I am not having that problem here.
Are you still using cache?

[scott lang]

i have firefox but use ie more cause after i installed it it made changes to things without me telling it to do so. i never set it as default. ie is default. when i put in a cdrw i had some backup prgs on, it was showing anything that was a doc or html file with a firefox emblem on it. i also had to reinstall 1 or 2 prgs i already had on my system, as they no longer would boot. i had to right click on one of the doc or html files and change the view back to ie. after that reinstall the 1 or 2 prgs and also while it was showing ther firtefox deal my winzip would no longer work after i switched it to ie it worked again . i still dont know why it switched things around like that but im seriously thinking about just removing it from the computer alltogether.

I had almost the same thing happen, never did find out what was wrong. I just went to program files and deleted the firefox folder and then installed the latest version of firefox [which was the same as I deleted] and the problem was fixed. you will not loose any bookmarks or skins doing this

Thanks Curt, trying that now ;D

Cheers ;D

Well I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, to no avail. Tried uninstalling and removing Mozilla folder from Application Data, cleaned the registry, downloaded a fresh copy of FF 1.0PR, also to no avail...

Any other suggestions?

Cheers ;D

[bigc73542]

It seems as if your problem may run a little deeper than it first appeared. And you have made no setting changes to any of your other security apps.?

[GlobalForce]

You had this same problem back in early August here (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=43828&highlight=bold). The thread ended without a resolve.
Did you straighten it out then? Can you recall the solution?

GF

[Blackspear]

Nothing whatsoever changed, haven't installed or touched anything in a while.

Turned on the PC this morning and back to the same issue that I had months ago, as you pointed out GF, no idea what's going on...

Cheers ;D

[GlobalForce]

Don't hold me to any of this, you know I know little of FireFox :P. But...

1. Do you come to Wilders with different browsers, or mostly FF?

2. Can you edit lines or do you have some sort of control on CSS in FF?

Blackspear, this is just a post to maybe induce a spark, #57 here (http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=284&st=42).


Without having FF, it's kinda hard to tell for me...
I'm also not sure your version?

GF

[GlobalForce]

Additional thought Blackspear,
Look at HardCore Web Content Editor on this page (http://www.asp.net/ControlGallery/default.aspx?Category=4&tabindex=2) (scroll about a fifth ways down).

Maybe google "Mozilla FireFox Source Code" and "Firefox Source Code Text Issues" for some ideas, lots of Mozilla sites.

Is there a difference to bolding if you type Wilder's in v/ comming from a bookmark?
You know, I may just have to dwnld FF so I can help you guy's out! ;D j/k.....


GF

No spark, just an annoying headache ;)

Oh well, I'll post another bug report on FF's website...

Cheers ;D

Hi My friend :)
You will find a simple system restore normally corrects this sort of thing. Lets hope so :)

Thanks for that, I shall give it a go, it would be nice to find out what causes it....

Cheers ;D

[GlobalForce]

Has it straightened out?
Just thought I'd stay on this till you work it through, since you're always assisting everyone else with their problems.

I've visited a few websites and the word is mixed. Some refer to it as a site problem for FF, and some blame it's coding.
I also caught note about "validating" some internal code... -{ Quote: ""it would be nice to find out what causes it...."" }- Even though I don't use FF, it's an issue to be resolved all the same.
I did find something and would like to know if you're aware of it, BBCode 0.3.6 (http://update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=128&vid=870). If so, I"ll continue the cause.

Feel free to add any details that would assist my search.....

GF

hhhmmm ... my Firefox seems to be behaving nicely so far.

But I am using Safe Mode so I don't know about the rest.

;D

[Blackspear]

-{ Quote: "Has it straightened out?" }-
No not yet, I haven't done a system restore as I would like to find the cause or at least the cure...


-{ Quote: "Just thought I'd stay on this till you work it through, since you're always assisting everyone else with their problems." }-
Thanks for that, it is an irritating issue, as I love FF, once tried there is no other ;) ;D

Wasn’t aware of it, have just installed it and are about to log off and back on…


-{ Quote: "I"ll continue the cause." }-
Greatly appreciated it. I have posted a new thread on their support forum, nothing so far, may just post a bug report as well.

Cheers GF

All the best ;D

[Blackspear]

Nah, that didn't work, thanks anyway GF, everything is worth a try ;D

Cheers ;D

In my search to help you get some satisfaction here, are you aware of these Mozilla "cookie" extensions, CookieCuller (http://cookieculler.mozdev.org/), CookieButton (http://basic.mozdev.org/cookiebutton/), and ViewCookies (http://www.bitstorm.org/extensions/) as suggested by Bobby Peru at DSL (lost the link). Also found this short cache tip (http://www.sb.fsu.edu/~soma/Projects/Misc/FirefoxTips_2004-1.html),
if that's what they call it.

Just another thought Blackspear (can we try for an appropriate shorter nick I could address you by ;D ),
I've read a few threads on FF cookies and site access. Take a quick peek at the second post in this Wilder's archive (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/archive/index.php/t-31340.html).
Parting thought on site compatibility (http://www.dcscripts.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=19&topic_id=3322&mesg_id=3322&page=) (with cache mod).....

Maybe some joy? :D

GF

[Blackspear]

OK, absolutely nothing changed, everything worked both in IE and FF until tonight when I logged out of Wilders and it cleared the cookies from my system, now the problem is back, except this time it is in both FF and IE.

I have Wilders bypassing Proxo in both IE and FF, I thought it was Kye-U's filters because when installed the problem occured, however bypassing it should stop.

Any ideas?

Cheers ;D

Surprise!!! Happy Birthday BS ~Teasing~ ;D

Put "wilderssecurity.com" (no quotes) in your connection settings for "No Proxy" in FF entries are separated with commas "," , in IE with semi colons ";"

See Screen Shot

Cheers ;D

Hi Craig :)
Just tick the default in tools /INTERNET option's/advanced to see if this will rectify it

[Blackspear]

-{ Quote: "Hi Craig :)

Nothing whatsoever changed on my system for the last 7 days, and it has been working like a dream. If it was the filters, bypassing these should fix the problem, but it doesn't.

Thanks any way Nick.

Cheers ;D

[NICK ADSL UK]

Well it must be simple because the other week i tried to add a smilie to a post and the page move forward but i cant for the life me think on how i fixed it :-\

[Blackspear]

-{ Quote: "Well it must be simple because the other week i tried to add a smilie to a post and the page move forward but i cant for the life me think on how i fixed it :-\" }-LMAO, ahhh so it's not just me that has this issue, oh well one day we'll figure it out, this time is very unusual in that no fonts/size/color are available, they come up blank.

Cheers ;D

[NICK ADSL UK]

Hi Craig :)
If you remember i had this problem the other week. Well i have just remembered how i fixed it. GO INTO IE tools / INTERNET option's/ security and make sure that this screen shot is showing. In my case they were disabled and enabling them fixed everything
Good luck

[Blackspear]

Thanks Nick, they were all enabled, talking with LWM this morning he has narrowed it to my system not requesting scripting modules, so something on my system is doing this. At least now I have a direction to head in.

Cheers ;D

[NICK ADSL UK]

Bad luck Craig. Yes do be sure to go through any tweaking software that you have. I cant think offhand of any other software that you would be using that would cause this but it will be very interesting and valuable to us all when we have finally worked it out

[Blackspear]

I have tried turning absolutely every piece of security software off, however, once broken it does not come back. If I get some time in the next few weeks I'll play with imaging to see if I can narrow it down. I was able to make it happen after installing Kye-U's filters, however I had these installed for the last week and everything worked very nicely. Though this too can be the case, where everything works well for a few weeks and then out of the blue it goes haywire.

I have tried reinstalling JRE 5.01 without any noticeable difference. I have also made several searches on Google for vBulletin and JavaScript errors, and there are plenty.

With the latest dysfunction it is no longer browser specific and has crippled ALL formatting links, even pulling out the ability to font, size and colour select.

Cheers ;D

[NICK ADSL UK]

Hi Craig :)
There is just one other avenue i can think of and that is to uninstall fire fox ETC And then repair IE From the Start menu, select Search, select All Files and Folders.
Select More Advanced Options and place a check mark beside Search Hidden Files and Folders option.
Ensure that Search System Folders and Search Subfolders are also checked.
In the All or Part of the File Name box, type IE.inf
In the Look In drop-down menu, select C: or the letter of the hard drive that contains the Windows folder.
Click the Search button.
In the search results pane, find the IE.inf file located in Windows\Inf folder.
Right click the IE.inf file and click Install on the context menu.
Reboot the computer when the file copy process is complete.
There is no reason listed that i can find that would prevent this phenomenon other than what LWM has said. Also just to make sure you have all your add ons in IE REMOVED as this very rarely but can cause this type of behavior

[Blackspear]

Thanks Nick, just tried the above, everything is uninstalled and IE has been reinstalled, unfortunately there is no difference, and as found before, once broken, can't be fixed (whatever it is).

Cheers ;D
