Distorted images in internet explorer, chrome, and firefox

Hello everyone.
it's my first time writing in a forum.i have just bought a dell notebook inspiron 15 which i upgrated from windows 8 to windows 8.1. (First time working with windows 8.) i'm having distorted images at some sites, double or blurry either in internet explorer
firefox or chrome. also very often i'm getting an error message that the web page cannot be viewed(in explorer) and in firefox that i should communicate with the web page in order to inform them that . when i refresh the page loads normally..so why does that
happen..is there a problem with the browsers or are the websites outdated?
In addition, web players other than youtube, like for example JWplayer start playing for a moment and then stop.After refreshing they stop at the same spot. i have the latest update of adobe flash and no problem with my internet connection.
thank you in advance
Anna, Greece
p.s i should note that i'm not very used in computer language so a simple explanation will be very welcomed. :)

Hi，
This pages all display fine in my PC, for IE, you can click Tools\Internet Options\Advanced, then under "Accelerated graphics" enable or disable hardware acceleration to check for hardware or software compatibility issues with viewing certain Internet websites.
Or under "Multimedia", enable automatic image resizing, check the result.
or clear browser history, temporary internet files, tools\internet options\general\delete... or reset IE as a test.
These are solutions for IE, since this issue happend on all browsers, I guess that it might be related with your video card--hardware device, if so, it's recommended to take this pc to a local shop to repair it.

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

I found this on another forum and it worked for me.
This problem usually has to do with TCP/IP or Winsock requiring a reset.
Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can
be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.
You need Admin access to enter the codes below. Windows button + x, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
You may have to reinstall Chrome and Firefox or reboot to have the chnage take place.
Hi,
This seems to be the only solution to my problem, however this is temporary. Any advice on a more permanent resolution?
I have also tried to disable "Automatically detect settings" under: "Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings/Automatically
detect settings".
This has no affect.
Thanks,

Dropping support for Internet Explorer 8, and Firefox 20.x or below

Starting April 30th, we will discontinue support for all Internet Explorer 8 versions and all Firefox 20 versions and below. In order to continue using Business Catalyst Admin user interface without problems, you and your clients need to upgrade to a more recent browser:
Download Internet Explorer
Download Safari
Download Chrome
Download Firefox

Thanks for your reply Shay.
We plan to officially support IE8 with the next patch release to JDeveloper 11g - currently planned for later this year.That matches what I wrote in my initial post in this forum thread about IE8 support.
We usually only certify browsers after they officially go production.That does not really answer my question (q1) in this forum thread.
It is more like, how can I assess that Oracle will support any successor(s) of IE8 or successor(s) of any currently supported browsers for ADF 11g applications in the future? How long will Oracle support "commonly used browsers" for an ADF 11g application I build today, so how long will I be able to use that application?
How do I answer such questions for ADF 11g applications that should be deployed on the internet (where, as some extranet environments, you typically have not that much (or no) control over which browsers your users use ... although some would like to argue with that, see forum thread "ADF Faces RC browser support and browser market share")?
(By the way, do you have any feedback for the forum thread "ADF 10g support for Internet Explorer 8"?)

Flash Player Crashing on Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox

I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 10 when my computer told me about the new update about two-three weeks ago. It seems like ever since then it has crashed every two hours or so and then my computer has had this problem where the script disapears from both internet engines and the computer icons disapear and it shuts down like it would in a computer from the 1990s (as in instead of the blue screen saying "windows shutting down" it has that little grey bar that says "winodws shutting down").
Whenever I restart it it is fine then another two hours pass by with me using a website like Youtube and the same thing happens. I have tried undownloading it and redownloading it but the same thing keeps happening.
I'm not sure if there is a bug on it or not or if it is my own comp but it seems like whenever I use something that needs flash player for more than two hours the computer goes crazy.
If it helps I am using a Microsoft Windows XP Intel Celeron processor 540 and it is about 4 years old now and everything is up to date on my add ons for firefox and internet explorer and I scanned for viruses and spyware and everything is clean.

Hi, I don't think Pat will mind if I pop in with how to turn off the hardware acceleration:-) I'll let him handle the driver issues.
Go to youtube and as soon as the video starts, right click on it and click on Settings and you should see a Display Setting; UNcheck the hardware acceleration.
Hope that helps part of the possible problem.

I'm currently using Internet Explorer E8 and Firefox as alternative browsers, but am thinking of uninstall IE. If so , would I lose all my favourites/bookmarks already imported to Firefox?

No additional information considered necessary.

It is always a good idea to have a second browser.
It is very difficult to fully remove Internet Explorer as some of it is integrated into the Windows operating system. I doubt if you'll find it in XP's Add/Remove Programs.
Bookmarks in Firefox will stay there if you uninstall any other browser.

Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4

Hey Everyone -
I've heard some reports of IE9 not working well on the forums just yet. Lithium expects to have the issues resolved in mid to late April. If you don't have to upgrade I would recommend not doing so just yet.
Also, has anyone tried Firefox 4 recently? I haven't heard anything but I do know the release candidate is available.
Thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura,
Do you have any updates concerning IE9 compatibility ?
I like Firefox but IE too...

Google Chrome and Firefox won't open any sites. Internet explore can.

Internet Explorer will run any sites. After installing google chrome and firefox its opens the browser but then when i enter a site, any site, it just wont go... It's not giving me an error message... i push the "enter" key and the busy locator, the circle thing that rotates to indicate the page is loading. it just pops for like 1 sec still remains on the main page.

Hello justinmendoza89, check if your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet#os=win7&browser=fx16 firewall] or other security software(antivirus, antispyware) prevent firefox access .

When I try to download applications such as Internet Explorer, Yugma, and iTunes in Firefox, I just get a window that says "save" or "cancel", but never one that says "run" so I don't think it's actually installing anything. It shows up in a "download" window, then the icon shows up on my desktop. When I click on it to launch it, it says "open with" and I get the same "save/cancel" window. It's a continuous circle. What am I doing wrong??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I don't know. I never downloaded apps through Firefox until all of a sudden Internet Explorer didn't work. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

What application are you choosing to open the files with?
Because of how integrated it is with windows IE should work. If it's not working, something more widespread could be wrong with your computer that would also prevent other browsers from working properly. Of course we'd love you to stick with Firefox, but you should get help with IE, too.

Windows 7-Internet Explorer 8 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5

Hi friends;
I want to share that great news which is posted Steven Chan (Oracle Development) :

Hi,
Apologize for the late reply and the misunderstanding about the ActiveX download location, we could change the location through the below registries:
Use Registry Editor to change the "ActiveXCache" value to the location you want in the following registry key:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
Use Registry Editor to change the "0" value to the location you want in the following registry key:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ActiveX Cache
   NOTE: The values you enter in steps 1 and 2 must match.
More information, please check
How to Change the Download Location for ActiveX Files (registries exists in IE11).
Regarding the urls that download the cab files into user profile directory, would you mind to share the URL?
And here is some information regarding inf files:
About INF File Architecture
We may check the value of DestDir, DestDir can be set to 10 to place the file into the \Windows directory or to 11 to place the file into the \Windows\System directory. If no value is specified, the file is placed into the \Cache directory.

Printing a PDF file from Chrome and Firefox - Image missing

I created about 20 marketing sheets for work using the same default settings and a template. They contain several inserted images of drawings and floor plans on each sheet (saved individually). When I try to print a couple of different files directly from the Chrome viewer or the Firefox viewer, it removes one of the images I inserted into my pdf. There are about four of 20 sheets that I am having this issue with. It does show when I view it in IE's viewer though and also when I download the file and open from my downloads. For ease of use, I really need to have it show when viewed in Chrome and Firefox. Any ideas?

Make sure you're opening the file using the Adobe plugin, not the built-in
PDF plugins of these browsers:

I created a web page in MS Word and saved it as html; it has lots of graphics; the graphics load perfectly in Internet Explorer but in Firefox there is simply white space where the graphics should appear

The web page is not live: I just load it on my computer. When I convert the .docx file to .html, the graphics are saved by MS Word in the usual folder as image001.png, up to image032.png.
I'm sure this is a trivial problem but I can't crack it.
Many thanks. RS

Does that "local" page work in Internet Explorer, but not Firefox?
If so, it might be a \ vs. / problem with the file path for those images.

I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox and my bookmarks don't appear to have been transferred. The FAQ's say it should be in a folder marked Internet Explorer in the "Bookmarks Menu", but it's not there.

Did you see a "Bookmark" tab in your Menu Bar? All of your IE Favorites should be there if you pull it down.
FYI, It's called Bookmarks in Firefox.

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab.

Google desktop and Picasa open Internet Explorer even though Firefox is my default browser

I am using Firefox 6, and no matter what I do clicking on Google Desktop opens Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. I have set Firefox as the default browser in at least 3 places: In Firefox itself; on the Internet Options section of the Control Panel; In the add/remove programs Set Default Programs screen. This is all in Windows XP professional. The same problem happens with Picasa online albums (when I go from my computer's Picasa to Web Albums). I don't know when this started, but now I cannot get my Web timeline. I have uninstalled Google Desktop.

Hello nanemy1854, set also firefox as default browser in Add or Remove Programs list in win xp, see for more information : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/setting-firefox-default-browser-does-not-work#w_windows-xp Firefox as default browser in win xp].
thank you

Why do Yahoo Flash videos not always run correctly in Chrome and Firefox/Windows 8?

I upgraded early last month to Windows 8 Pro.
Running Yahoo! News and other videos (Yahoo! Screen, etc.; virtually all Yahoo branded products) I get a black screen, no error message on Chrome and Firefox. The videos run correctly on Internet Explorer.
I have not found a way to run these videos at all in Firefox or the 64-bit Waterfox.
In Chrome, I can DISABLE the internal Pepper-based Flash player and the videos will run (but nothing ELSE will: no YouTube, etc.)
I can keep a plug-ins page open in Chrome and repeatedly enable and disable the internal Flash player; I can copy and paste the URL for what I'm watching back into IE...or perhaps some kind and knowing person here will have a better idea. For me, I sense a bug somewhere. BTW...this machine dual-boots Win8 and WIn7. The problem does not exist in Win7. Please don't suggest going back to Win7; that's a VERY mature (translate SLOW and quirky; survived repeated change of motherboard and other major components) install that I'm continually weaning myself away from and rarely boot into it anymore (Win8 boots from SSD and is blazingly fast, Win7 not so much).
I have not found any site other than the ENTIRE Yahoo site that has this problem!
Jay from the Bronx

I'm back! Actually, this issue has been happening to me every now & then but I'd just given up on dealing with it. But now I'm motivated again.
I clicked on a video link in Facebook that sent me to NASCAR | Facebook which turns from the https URL to those two words on this site for some odd reason, and it just popped a box telling me saying Flash Player Upgrade Required - Get Flash Player and the video's image never displayed under that and it couldn't be played.
Then once again I went thru all of the steps to insure that both I do actually have Flash Player and that it is Enabled. I do and it is. I also read somewhere to click the gear icon in IE then click Safety > ActiveX Filtering. I do that and I see a checkmark next to ActiveX Filtering. I've tried it both with a checkmark and without one and there's no difference.
I have Windows 8.1 fully updated, IE-11 and Flash Player
I see the swinging tire swing image in #5. Verify if Flash Player is installed at Flash Player Help.
