Whyvdo that some sites tell me to upgrade to version 4 when I already shows that I have 4.01

Some sites tell me to upgrade to version 4, but I already have. The two sites I can think of right now are Yahoo and Chrome Angrybirds.

Your string UserAgent in Firefox is probably messed up by another program you have installed. http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/USER_AGENT

Enter about: config in the URL bar and press on enter if you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access this page. Filter = general.useragent. The preferences that are bold, one line at a time, right-click and select Reset. Then restart Firefox

  • Forms of the POST on some sites Web returns a blank page

    Some sites with POST forms return a blank page when I submit the form. The data apparently gets submitted, so according to the Web site I can refresh the page and it works fine. But some sites that completely breaks the functionality.

    More recently it has happened to me click the "Ship to this address" button on Etsy (which is a situation of breaking site and refreshing took me back to the same page). Then I came here to register for an account and, well, funny story, it actually happened when I clicked on the button register after completing a username, password and email address (but refreshing worked).

    Maybe in relationship: around the same time, he began to arrive, I noticed that 307 redirects would give me a blank page saying "Document has moved [link]here/link", and I have to click "here" to pass, as opposed to the redirect automatically.

    A 307 redirect is usually a warning special, as discussed in this thread: popup very frequent: this web page is redirected to a new location. You want to return the form data you typed to the new location?

    Is it possible that the Ghostery redirection feature affects these positions? It is a common pattern to redirect after post to better manage the user experience.

  • Upgrade from versions after a clean install.

    We have a couple OSX machines in our shop under 5.5 Production Premium CS. It is necessary for me to each disk reformat for various reasons related to the upgrade of OS x Lion. After Lion and running, I want to then take this opportunity to upgrade to Adobe CS6, using licenses already, I own (but have never used).

    I tried to download macOS Sierra on my macbook pro iOS 10 for a few hours and it still has several hours to go. Should I just download the Capitan instead? All sites tell me that I should update my Safari or I wouldn't even through this disorder.

    You must complete the download of Sierra. It is a very large file and will take some time, especially on a slow Internet connection.

  • Web sites tell me that I can't use websockets

    Hey,.
    mutiple sites tell me that the browser does not support websockets.
    First of all, I saw this in the add-on pushbullet. Here, I thought it was a problem specific to the site.
    But now I tried IPython notebook and the error came back.
    I tried http://www.websocket.org/echo.html and the same once again.
    But http://caniuse.com/websockets told me that it should be supported.

    Ok. Another profile solved this problem.
    It was a simple setting that has been set to false.
    I think it was a fragment of firefox 4/5 (yes my real config have its root in the firefox 3 xx times), there was simply the key network.websocket.enabled the value false, and I never used it until now.
    So I'm able to keep my good old config and just change it in all: config.

    So, if anyone has the same problem:
    Before resetting the configuration, or worse still the whole profile:
    -Open the link "subject: config ' in the browser
    -Locate the key: network.websocket.enabled
    -Check if it is set to true (the default)

  • I thought WWDC 2016 TEU June 13 at 10 am PDT. Some sites say that the event is from 13 to 17 June. What is the date on which they will announce if there are new products coming out. What is 13?

    I thought WWDC 2016 was just June 13 at 10 am PDT. Some sites say that the event is from 13 to 17 June. What is the date on which they will announce if there are new products coming out. What is 13?

    WWDC is the 13th week, not a single day. However, at 10:00 13 will be the speech. It's what you want to watch. You can download the application to your computer via: Developer Apple WWDC Watch - WWDC -. You can download the app for iPhone, iPad, or contact via the iTunes Store.

    Since the upgrade to free 29 arrows of browsing some sites do not work. Is there a solution by chance?
    I think this story says it all. The most problematic sites are mainly news sites
    http://Compaq-desktop.AOL.com/#
    It has 1-40 or 45 new photos which can be browsed through by clicking on the arrows. Before the update without problem.

    Problem solved, if only temporarily.
    It's as simple as switching to the ad-blocker for the site only.

  • up in the dropdown menu that I want to be able to remove some sites as internet explore - frustrated

    at the top of the address in the menu bar dropdown I see pages I visited. I like to keep them to a shortlist of 10 of my most visited sites which means I want to DELETE some list regularly as in internet explore. but there is no red "x" to delete anything, so I'm stuck with the sound that are there. Please don't insult me by sending me a link totally irrelavent as microsoft would

    Follow these steps to delete data saved in a drop-down list:

    1. Select an entry in the drop-down list
    2. Press the DELETE key (on a Mac: shift + delete) to remove it.

    Note that elements that have a star highlighted are favourites and you need to remove the bookmark.

    Items that you have entered or copied into the address bar can be difficult to remove.

    If you can't remove an entry, then you can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • I recently started getting the message "error - blocked site" on some sites that use to work. Can anyone suggest why this might be, please?

    I don't have the same problem if you are using Opera as a browser, however, I am aware that ISPS have blocked some sites in the United Kingdom due to a decision of the Court and wonder if it is the cause. The message only started to appear since I read about this decision. Is there a list somewhere that shows which sites are legally blocked in the United Kingdom? I can then excluded of this in or out as the cause.

    Thanks much for any help.

    Concerning

    Hi beastybell,

    Thanks for the offer, but you don't have to worry to make a video. I can always access sites, so I'm not too worried about changing the proxy settings. I'm glad this worked for you.

    Once again thanks for the help and the offer

    -----END CERTIFICATE-----

    I found what happened (I had to read what firefox said carefully before posting a support request, sorry for that):
    The certificate is not reliable because it was signed with a signature algorithm that has been disabled because this algorithm is not secure.

    I was able to restore by allowing this key to everything: config:
    Security.enable_md5_signatures

  • I've upgraded to the latest Firefox, but something prevents reading Web sites that I have. I already tried to uninstall and reinstall.

    I've upgraded to the latest Firefox, but something prevents reading Web sites that I've updated. I already tried to uninstall and reinstall.

    At first, I thought it was a specific Web site, but I found that it is affecting my sites on a set path. Yet once, I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. It doesn't seem to affect one of my other internet browsers.

    It would not be a problem, but most of the sites are demanding I upgraded and even disabling certain features until I do.

    Your user agent is corrupt and which identifies you as Firefox/3.0.13

    see your user agent:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009073022 Firefox/3.0.13 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

    you need to reset the user agent

    Thank you

  • I have Firefox 8.0.1 and since the update to it, some sites, I need to go so that Firefox will not accept certificates which is accepted in the previous version. I can not get the permanent exception and must uncheck permanent and do every time.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file

    It is not usually necessary to create an exception for the certificates.

    Possible causes are that a server does not send the full (intermediate) certificate chain or self signed certificates.
