Firefox shows blurry images (and none of the best-known solutions work)
No matter
* if I run Firefox under safe mode (plugins disabled),
* if I update my graphics drivers,
* or if I disable Harware Rendering under Advanced Options,
Firefox keeps showing blurry images.
Here is a comparison screenshot between Firefox (left) and Opera (right) rendering the same image:

This has been happening for a long time, even through several Firefox updates. None of the solutions I've found on the web (listed above) will fix this problem.
The image blur is tiring on the eyes, not being able to see images correctly is so annoying, and I hope someone can help me fix this issue.
Changing Firefox's zoom behavior so you can enlarge just the text but not the images can lead to site layouts breaking. If you want to take a look:
View menu > Zoom > ''check'' Zoom Text Only
(If you do not normally display the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key to display it temporarily.)
Firefox 22 was the first to tie your Firefox content zoom level to your Windows DPI setting. You can break the connection and set Firefox to use 100% resolution (the classic 96dpi resolution) if you like. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''pix''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx''' and change its value to '''1.0''' for Firefox 21-sized fonts.
This will return the content to normal, but the toolbars may appear a bit smaller than your Windows standard for UI (100%/105%). There is an extension to enlarge fonts in that area: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer].
Can you get it to work the way you want?

FF Less stable than IE. Numerous crashes, the latest quirk is that it will open a new window with a website already working on and NONE of the iterations of FF work. Have to reboot computer because can't even exit FF. Fix it or on to Chrome.
'''''"a new FF iteration"'''''
No such thing. All Firefox windows and tabs run in a single '''firefox.exe''' process, unlike IE which has a separate process for each window, or Chrome which opens a new process for each tab.
As far as the Firefox SafeMode, you can't open it when Firefox is running ''(unless you open a separate Profile purposely)'', if you try all you will get is another window in the "regular mode".
You're not going to be able to discover the cause of your problem if you're unwilling to follow established troubleshooting procedures, regardless of how intermittent the fault occurs. I wouldn't be surprised of you have an add-on installed which is causing that problem.
Another course of action would be to create a new Profile, which is like starting from scratch with a completely new Firefox installation. <br />

IPod frozen and none of the "5 r's" work
Please help.
I was listening to my ipod in my speakers and went to change the song when it just froze on me. I tried to reset it right away by holding the menu button. But now it is stuck on the main menu and even the back-light is on. I tried all five of the "r's" and none of them work. The computer won't recognize the iPod at all.
Please help
thanks.I dont know how to start a topic... but this looks quite much like my problem... but the biggest problem is that im going on holiday for 10 days over like... 8 Hours ! ! ! .. Is there any faster way to fix/help this problem?!
Please help me.... even if this isnt the good topic.. please.... i really need all the help i can get -
as my iphone used to remind me when to take my medicine wherever i was i could trust apple and its products for use. i can no longer do this and mourn the loss of freedom of movement i had prior to iOS8. i have spent days and days following advice and suggested remedies without success. i see no other solutions than buying a phone that will sync with iOS8. but why should i pay to repair damage to the system i have relied upon done by someone else? is it in fact legat for anyone to do this to me, or anyone else?
I cannot check any recorded version of any telephone call. You are referring to me as if I am an Apple employee. That could not be further than the truth. If you took the time to read any part of where you register for the forum, this is a user to user forum. I am a user just like yourself.
You made the statement that you use your phone to create a reminder to take medication. A 3GS phone is incapable of running iOS8, so that has nothing to do with it. I asked if you have iOS8 on your iPads, which you fail to identify, and avoid the answer. And where does the laptop fit into this, since it does not use iOS8.
If you were to identify the problem you are alleging, then someone might be interested in helping. You do not indicate your issue except to say about an inability to synchronize between devices. And I do not appreciate your assessment of my character.
Let me be precise: You are not addressing Apple, no one can determine what has happened to your devices since you do not describe the issues, and it is not up to users to determine responsibility. I suggest you contact Apple again, as you state you have done, and take up the issue with them.
I'm through. -
Disabled ipod and none of the suggested fixes are working!
My daughter entered her password wrong too many times and her ipod is now disabled. I've tried all the suggested fixes on the support page and nothing is working. When I try to restore it thru itunes it says it can't because it is locked with a password. I tried to erase it thru icloud, but the ipod is offline and I don't know how to get it online. I tried to soft reset, I tried to hard reset. Nothing! Help!
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
OSX Mavericks...After I download Firefox it will not open. Message box appears indicating my profile is missing or cannot be found. All existing solutions speak to 'Open Profile Manager'...there is no such program on a Mac. Mozilla expert/technician needed ASAP. Please explain in clear and plain language how I get Firefox back.
# Click the Finder icon in the dock.
# On the menu bar, click the ''Go'' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select ''Library''. A window will open containing your Library folder.
# Open the "Application Support" folder, then open the "Firefox" folder.
# Rename the ''profiles.ini'' file to ''profiles.ini-old''
# The next time you start Firefox, it should start with a brand new profile. See the following article for directions on recovering data from your old profile.

My bookmarks just disappeared off my toolbar. I'm not sure why. When I do things Firefox suggests such as going to task manager and then processes, I am unable to even find "task manager" on my toolbar! Please give me the correct, specific directions for fixing this! I do not have a PhD in computers!
You can open the Task Manager via Ctrl+Alt+Del

Since a FF8 update, all bookmarks were lost and none of the recommended restore methods work, even though I have been able to find the backup ".json" files; I continually get "Unable to process the backup file" for all methods of importing or restoring the bookmarks from the .json files. As others note, I can also no longer add any new bookmarks to my now empty bookmarks tab. My profile has not changed, so that's not the problem. This is really a pain.
Did you try to delete the file places.sqlite to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database file from a JSON backup?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_process_the_backup_file_-_Firefox
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I have a white/grey screen and none of the suggested operations have helped, what should I do?
I have a white/grey screen and none of the suggested options have worked - I have tried all the suggestions on Apple support
Ok, I've had this problem before and contacted Applecare support and they told me that it was an issue with the RAM inside the Mac or something like that. They told me to refresh the ram, and it fixed the problem so that's what I'd recommend. Here's how to do it.
Hit Power button, then press and hold Command + R + Option + P at the same time.
This resets the residual ram that is causing the start up to hang.
Try that, I hope it works for you.

*Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.<br>Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file -
I tried opening it in safe mode and none of the other help tips in the database on firefox crashes when I open it apply to me. I also ran a couple of virus programs to check for any infections and found nothing. I had been having issues with java previous to firefox beginning to crash. So I attempted to uninstall java from my computer but it did not help.
My crash signature is PaintFrame(nsIRenderingContext*, nsIFrame*, nsRegion const&, unsigned int, unsigned int) and a search of this term on Mozilla Support pulled up no results.
I'm not terribly knowledgeable with programming so any suggestions would help!I read online about a "clean reinstall" of firefox which seems to have worked! They should include direction on this on their page: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+crashes+when+you+open+it

I'm now using iPhoto '11 (9.3.2), and none of the photos in my library will enlarge. I can view them all as thumbprints, but when I click to enlarge just a black, blank space shows up. Occasionally, one will enlarge for a second, then disappear. Help!
Just to clarify, I am not getting an "!" mark in a triangle, as I read others have experienced. The screen is just blank except the grey flag in lefthand corner to flag the photo.
