Are there parameters shared between FF - other browsers?

Changing the settings in Firefox (various versions) reach the settings of other browsers installed on the machine as IE8 and vice versa? Changing the settings on Windows 7 can affect the FireFox and vice versa. If so, is there a list of these settings/configurations that are shared and are potentially modifiable?

Do you have problems in Firefox that may indicate that such sharing is happening?

  • Firefox is showing a grey globe for secure site when other browsers show a lock icon.

    We have several sites with SSL certificates. When the site goes into HTTPS, Firefox still displays our pages with a grey globe. Sites (like Amazon) show they are secure with HTTPS pages. Other browsers display our secure pages as they should.

    a globe gray must only be displayed for a "secure" page where there is a mixed content on this page

  • My files shared between 2 XP Pro systems are more accessible between machines on my home network

    Years I've been to access shared folders and disk drives (in My Network Places) from my laptop (when I'm home) to my home system which is basically just a box Windows XP Pro with a bunch of big hard drives in it.  Now, after having been away for a few weeks, I'm more able to access the shared folders and drives.  I went into MMC and made sure my security settings were extracted 'classic', made sure that auditors invited on both machines have been put to 'on', ensures that stocks are good, etc..   I just get a popup when trying to access the share (which appears in my network places) saying that I don't have permission to access the network resource.

    This problem may have been exacerbated by the fact that I had a disk crash then outside and he did a restore of a backup (5 weeks) on the new disk drive.    But everything else seems to work very well, and this environment, which was the source of the backup image could access actions flawless.  Note that the use of the accounts that I have installed on both machines are the same account name, administrator privileges and password.   Note that I cannot access Windows 2000 environments with shared folders (3 other computers in the House) no problem. It is only the XP environment I can't get access to work.

    I use the settings of workgroup (no domain).  Everything here is local to the House, through a LinkSys Router.  Internet is through the router using a DSL modem.   I run Kaspersky security/AV.  Notice when I disable the Kaspersky, I still can not access the shared devices.

    I'm at the end of my rope.    Can anyone help?

    OK, good news and some not very good news.

    I tried to restart the service, the drive mapping, etc. - nothing has worked.  However - the error that I got when I tried to map a drive was not "enough storage server.  I looked, and sure enough found some entries for 2011 event IDS in the event viewer.  Searched for and found a KB Microsoft Q17707 article (or 17708?) who described it as a problem caused by Symantec NAV (no surprises).   In addition to research, I found the registry key that irpstacksize is eliminated!   I've recreated the DWORD entry in the registry with the default value of 15, and the problem persisted.  Then I discovered someone on some forum that said increase until she started working, so I put up (50 decimals) and voila!  The problem is gone and I can now access the shared drives on the computer from the computer laptop, apparently reliable.   (although this forum said that the problem seems to come and go on some machines, related to the use of major external USB drives. Sounds reasonable, because recently I started using some USB drives of 1 TB for backup images external on the laptop and the service).

    So... for the moment, the problem seems to have disappeared.  This forum said, it's some kind of bug, Microsoft, and Symantec pointing the finger at the other as the cause and who is responsible to fix it (nothing new there), so I expect to arise again some time in the future, very probably at a monumentally inopportune moment.

    Thanks for your help.

  • I noticed that some jpeg (RGB) images are not display in Internet Explorer 11, but they present very well in other browsers. In addition, the images used to display properly in Internet Explorer. No idea what is happening?

    I noticed that some jpeg images are not display in Internet Explorer 11, but they display well in other browsers. I checked they are RGB images, because apparently some people accidentally use the CMYK format. IE is configured to display the images - I checked that also. The images used to display properly in Internet Explorer, and the images have not been changed on the server. The content was created using Dreamweaver CS6 and Photoshop CS6.

    I tried to view the page on other computers running IE, and they also have this problem.

    Any idea of what could be causing this to happen?

    Thanks for looking in this people!

    I discovered that prevented a few images to display in IE 11, while other images show. The culprit was Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer. Once, I disabled the software Adblock Plus missing images showed once again. Interestingly, I discovered that I could cause the same effect in other browsers using Adblock software. There is either a bug in the software of Adblock, or fluid network of Adobe system, which caused some legitimate images should be blocked. Whatever it is, they do not play well together right now. All images are stored on the same domain, and none of them related off site, so it's pretty weird that they have been blocked...

    Anyway, the mystery is solved! I know people like to see a conclusion to these things as much as possible, so I'll mark this as resolved issue.

  • Submenus are moving to the top of the screen in IE8? All other browsers display correctly

    First of all, I am new to the design of websites and Dreamweaver, but a quick learner. So - please assume that I know very little.

    I use a mac and created a horizontal nav bar using the widget spry (DMCS3; Spry 1.6.1). Everything is ok, except for the submenus in my navigation bar. I confirmed it seems correct (for PC) in Chrome and Firefox and (for mac), Safari and Firefox. But in Internet Explorer 8, the submenus are moving all the way to the top of the screen. The only way I could solve this problem, is that if I type 132 px for the 'top', 'margin' in the category 'box' in my ul. MenuBarHorizontal of ul rule. However, by doing this it makes all other browsers display incorrectly (the submenu is down to the bottom of the page).

    I've seen where people have been to "conditional comments" in their CSS file, for IE... and if what I have to do, that what I write and where I need to put in order all IE8 users to conform to the margin of the top 132 px, while other users are in line with the original upper margin of 2 px.

    Finally, a few people have noted that the submenu buttons "stick" (loading/disappear slowly) as they scroll buttons, is there a way for me to fix this?

    Here is the link to the site, and my CSS file is attached - thank you in advance:
