Ive noticed firefox has been failing on a lot of websites randomly.
I noticed while looking through the GA JS that there is a mention of Firefox but no mention of Chrome, Opera, IE etc
http://google-analytics.com/ga.js
Im wondering if any JS guru knows what the code is doing to the reference of firefox? and also whether this code could make ffox crash?
Cheers

Bringing up dead posts, but has started once more...
Mi FF 15.0 (yes Beta), started to fail TODAY on Google page, and was crashing on others since a couple of days ago.
I just simply add "google-analytics.com" to the hosts file to block it and ALL is well now.
guess that I'm staying away from google EXTRA data on my browsing habits from now on.
I had the same problem. Removing my extensions one by one, I found that it's the "Https Everywhere" extension that caused it. Its trying to call https versions of Google Analytics API.
To resolve this problem, I unchecked the "Google API" redirection rule in "Https Everywhere options".

I just installed Firefox on a new computer running Windows 8.1.
I usually use Chrome but recently I've been redesigning my website and today I tried loading it on multiple browsers to see if there were any problems.
It's a Flash games site with lots of flash ads. So when I went to my site in the new Firefox browser, I was surprised to see a lot of "plugin needed" boxes.
I tried loads of sites, and it became apparent that flash was not installed in the firefox browser at all. No Flash was loading.
Bizarrely, the grey box telling me I needed a plugin didn't give me any hint as to what plugin I needed, provided no link, and even blocked the fail-safe link to adobe that is displayed if flashplayer is not installed when using swfobject.js.
I tried searching for the flash player update in the firefox add-ons - nothing.
I tried searching on google and downloaded the general flash player update (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) - installed it and nothing changed.
Eventually after 20 minutes of searching, I found this obscure page on Adobe:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
I downloaded and ran the exe for 'Plugin-based browsers' and this worked.
It appears the latest version of Firefox has deliberately not included Flash Player, which is utterly mad if that's really true.
However, I can't find any discussion or documentation that this is the case. But then why wasn't it included in my version?
Does anybody know anything about this?
Firefox has never included Flash, you always need to go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and download the Flash Plugin on your first install of Firefox. Make sure that you turn on autoupdate for Flash by using the Flash cpanel app in your Windows Control Panel. Then check regularly to make sure Flash is still autoupdating. It can have a bad habit of failing.
It's only recently that Microsoft includes Flash and only on IE on Windows 8+ as a copy of Google's attempt to increase Flash security by including it in Chrome some time back. IE gets its Flash updates through Windows Update when Microsoft gets the patches applied.
Google is the 800lb gorilla that gets what it wants and twisted Adobe's arm to force them to supply Flash code so they can do their own updates via their Pepper Flash module which updates when Chrome autoupdates.
While Mozilla will warn you that Flash is out of date, they do not have the monetary clout like huge corporations (Microsoft, Google) to force Adobe to give them source code so they can fix Adobe's security sieve as it happens.
Mozilla has chosen to promote HTML5 and open DRM to hurry the eventual demise of a piece of Macromedia Legacy web extensions that has been plaguing us with serious zero day exploits (Jan-Feb 2015 most recent) that often appear back-to-back and often get 2 try patch releases in the hope that it gets fixed.
And in that same timeframe, often Chrome and Windows 8 versions of IE have a similar lag to bug fix, though a lot quicker than Adobe.
Get in the habit manually checking Chrome's version, Chrome can suffer update failure despite its automatic update feature.
I am having bit trouble. I need to know how can I do the live presentation(.pptx or .ppt) on the website. I am searching for it for past 4 days and recently I found one site which is doing the exact thing what I am looking for but it have lack of support and it doesn't support Firefox browser and there is no API for it. So what I need to it with IFrame. Here the reference link what am I try to achieve.

Hope you will understand the thing I am looking for and provide some useful suggestion to me. Thanks.
I'm having a real hard time looking for the right Firefox plugin regarding Google Bookmarks.
I tried Deng, GMarks, Fess, and all the other popular ones but I still cant bookmark my links. I seriously consider Google Bookmarks as the ultimate bookmarking tool and I've been 'google-bookmarking' ever since its very existence, in other words, I've been doing that for a very long time; at first, I used to bookmark manually and then GMarks has been working fine for a few years.
I just want a Firefox Plugin that works, one that works !!!! for Google Bookmarks; I explore possibilities of other plugins that work for a certain period of time and I have to try another one.
I have a 64-Bit Windows 7 OS with 2GB of RAM
Hope someone helps me here, thanks in advance
I am using Microsoft's AdControl in my app that I am developing. I have registered at pubcentral and using the correct ApplicationID and AppUnitID. Also, setting the AdControl.TestMode = false. The ads were getting displayed correctly yesterday but today, I get this error - An unexpected error occurred during response processing (Name: ECN).
Has anyone else noticed this issue?
I am using January 2011 tools for WP7. Not sure if this is an issue with the Emulator.
Edit: Just a quick update. My app with ads that weren't working during development got published this morning and all of the ads are working when I downloaded it straight from the marketplace. Still not completely sure of the reason but I thought that information may be useful.
Ok - I've spent far too much time researching this. Apparently there are a lot of people having this error. I think it may have something to do with the impending update of the WP7 because it's relatively recent. If you check out the official forums (http://community.microsoftadvertising.com/forums/32.aspx) there are tons of posts describing the same issue.
For some reason I am still getting impressions with my AdControl despite the lack of visual advertisement. My suggestion is to leave the code in your app and try and publish it (this is the route I'm going to take at least) and hopefully they will start serving ads again soon.
Please take a look at this code:
http://3wcloud-com-provisioning-qa.appspot.com/testAjaxDojo
Just tab off the "domain" input field to try to make the Ajax run.
(Note: the test Ajax web service always sends back the same message, it pretends to check if domain is available but it really doesn't).
When running in Firefox 3.5, I get "dojo not defined" on the dojo.xhrGet statement.
It works fine in IE7 and Chrome browsers, and one friend tested on Firefox 3.0 and it worked.
1) Is there something wrong with Firefox 3.5 not properly getting the dojo javascript from the CDN? Possibly a caching issue?
2) Do you Dojo gurus know of this problem? Is it something that has already been reported to Firefox?
Thanks,
Neal Walters
Update: 9/1/ afternoon - I have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox 3.5.2 (but I kept my profile settings), and got same problem. I'm on Windows Vista Ultimate.
Finally found the problem. It was the add-on called "No-Script". Even though I had set No-Script to allow scripts globally, something in that tool was causing the issue. I upgraded to new version of No-Script and still had problem. If I disable the add-on (from the Tools/Add-ons screen), then Dojo loads perfectly from the CDN and life is good again.
I probably lost 6-8 hours on this stupid issue. Hope this posts saves someone else the time. Please "vote-up" the answer if it does.
As I stated in my comment, on Firefox 3.5 (mac) works fine. Try to do the following on your Firefox browser, insert the dojo library url in the url bar:
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/dojo/1.3.2/dojo/dojo.xd.js
Usually it helps to solve any cache problems and forces Firefox to fetch the file.
If it still doesn't work, just store dojo in your server and use it locally.
It's working fine here with NoScript enabled.
I just needed to allow both "3wcloud-com-provisioning-qa.appspot.com" and "ajax.googleapis.com".
