I'll get the cannot access popup every once in a while, but not often, and a simple refresh usually fixes it. If I don't get it after one refresh, i'll try another site, if that one doesnt work the first try I restart the modem or computer.

Lately, when I press for a pop-up like comment boxes or flash games it loads a small box and then a bigger one that is MUCH smaller than the original size and I sometimes I can't resize them! Has anybody else had this problem? Any thoughts of how to solve this?

I love Firefox. I got fed up with IE gobbling my resources and crashing all over the place. Firefox is now my default browser and I feel as though I've bought a new computer! Only trouble is a (recognised) bug that fails to recognise the existence of Windows Media Player. I've also noticed that if you mouse-over images the "alt" attribute doesn't function.

After tweaking, (forgot what i did) i have gotten windows media player/quicktime/real integrated into firefox. Only certain things don't work (i think for example mtv)

Mine just downloads the video/audio and plays it on the default player. For video it automatically opens Media Player Classic(built like media player 6, has quicktime and real codecs, can play anything and more that media player 9/10 can). I've found an extension for firefox that allows you to control whatever media player you choose. It's called Foxytunes and has support for: Apollo, Windows Media Player, MusicMatchJukeBox, Jetaudio, Winamp(the one I use), ITunes, wkMusik, Genericplayer, Winamp3, Foobar2000, Mediamonkey, JRiverMediaCenter, Sonique, The Core Media Player, and Quintessential Media Player. Very Useful.

Hmmm......that's odd. I use Firefox and I've never had a problem with Windows Media Player. It works fine and always has.

Congratulations on your tweaking .. if only you could remember what you did! If it comes back to you, let me know. Cheers!

I understand that Firefox works with earlier versions of Media Player, but can't get a handle on version 9 and above. Best wishes.

[lionelbeck]

Thanks - I'll have a look at that.

[Big-K]

It works fine with 9. I havn't been able to get that off my system yet, and right now it keeps playing all the streaming music files in media player 9. It IS compatable.

Below is a cut-and-paste direct from an e-mail I received two weeks ago from Mozilla Support ...
---
There is a known bug in Firefox that causes this problem to happen. There is no gauranteed fix for the issue. Unfortunately I will not be able to assist you because this is a bug in the program and will have to be fixed with a future release of Firefox that has been programmed properly to correct the issue.

Since I am unable to help, I have issued a refund for your support ticket. You should see a refund by your next billing cycle.
---
On seeking further info on when there would be a future release of Firefox the reply was "don't know".

It's therefore a bit strange that you find it working. Every time I hit a site requiring Media Player I get the invitation to download the appropriate plug-in (which I've already got). I did follow the download invitation on one occasion but it didn't make a jot of difference.

Best wishes.

give links please i'll see how my system responds.

Has any of you ever had a problem with java plug-in?? Every time I enter site that requests such one (J2SE) there is kinda pop-up with 'install missing plug-in' button. I've tried many times to install one but with no result. There's a message error that one of Firefox's '.cab' file is missing and download cannot be completed. Any idea how to work it out??

[I Fix 4 U]

All java works for me, i don't think i have gotten sounds to work tho
