Why does my window resize after Firefox has loaded from being opened

Firefox opens to the full screen at first, but as the tabs finish loading the window collapses to a half screen. I have tried resetting the advanced JavaScript settings to no avail.

Does that also happen if you start Firefox with an blank page?

  • Why does the source of the Firefox download come from random countries and are the copies from these places safe?

    I am trying to download Firefox, but want to make sure my copy is legitimate. Every time I go to download a copy, the source is a different server usually from another country.
    Is this normal and are the copies from these servers checked for viruses and malware?
    I ultimately got a copy from 3347-voxcdn.com.

    Mozilla has mirrors around the globe.

  • HT1365 why does having a telstra micro-sim  stop me from being able to access my home wi-fi which is optus?

    when I first bought my ipad 3 cellular + wi-fi, I did not get a micro-sim card. I only used my home wifi that is from an Optus broadband network.
    It worked perfectly without any issues, good strong signal and fast internet.
    no worries
    Then 3 days ago I bought a micro-sim, from Telstra and inserted it and activated it.
    It worked perfectly too, from home and everywhere. But I have plenty of download on my home network, so I want to switch away from my pre-paid Telsra month-by-month simcard  to getting my internet via the Optus wi-fi.
    But it no longer works.
    I can no longer get a signal from my home wi-fi network.
    The wi-fi is still working for other devices in the house.
    I have tried resetting the netowrks to get it to find and recognise the wi-fi again.
    It does find it, it does recognise it and allows me to join, but the top corner of the ipad screeen says "No Service", and then shows 3 bars of the wi-fi netowrk signal. !!
    Do I need to remove the Tesltra micro-sim to get the ipad to recognise the home netowrk?
    That doesnt seem right.
    What am I missing?

    Connect to a router via web browser from another device, open "settings" -> "wireless"( sequence and title of menu depending on model and manufacturer of your router) and try to change wireless mode to 802.11N or if this mode not accessable, to 802.11g mode only. Save this settings( router will reboot) and connect Ipad2.

  • After Firefox has been running a while, every link opens a new window

    After Firefox has been running for a while, every link starts opening in a new window. Until today, if I closed Firefox and restarted it, it would stop happening ... until it started happening again. Then today, I closed it down and restarted it, and it was STILL happening. So either I find a solution, or I stop using Firefox on my Mac.
    This is a vanilla installation - both for the Mac and Firefox. I don't use the Mac as my main computer. The Mac is running OS X 10.5 8. The problem has existed through many upgrades of Firefox. I always upgrade as requested. This last time, however may have been the killer. A new upgrade was installed right before the problem became unfixable by shutting down and restarting. I'm running Firefox 15.0. I just rebooted, however, and now (for now), it's working properly.
    I have no add-ons installed in Firefox.
    My only plug-ins are iPhotoPhotocast, QuickTime, SharePoint, and Shockwave Flash.
    I've seen multiple reports of this problem on this Web site, but no solutions. Just a generic recommendation to disable add-ons to see which one is conflicting. But I'm running no add-ons. I think there's a bug in Firefox.

    If it were an extension or theme or a Mac driver, wouldn't it cause the problem consistently? This only happens after Firefox has been running for a while. I'm using Firefox to type this reply right now, and the problem is not happening.
    And it's not because I suddenly start using some offending software. As I said, I don't use the Mac as my main computer. Usually I'll have been using my PC, I'll go back to the Mac to check my email on Firefox, and suddenly the link problem is happening. I only use the Mac to check email on the server before I download it with Outlook (on the PC) so I can delete spam on the server first.

  • Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?

    Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?
    I use the Tools > Annotate > Add Text feature, and when I click away after adding text, it automatically changes the text box size such that the last letter -- or last word -- gets bumped off into an invisible line below it, forcing me to manually adjust every single text box. It is highly annoying when trying to complete PDF forms (e.g. job applications).
    It appears to be a glitch, quite honestly, an error resulting from Apple's product design. Has it been fixed in the new operating system (for which they want $30)?
    I would very much appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for your time.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why does't Flashplayer work after I agreed to an update from an Adobe pop-up box prompt?

    I had problems last year when Flashplayer stopped working suddenly.  After months of seeking help, I received instructions that fixed the problem...until the other day.  A pop-up box from Adobe appeared indicating an update was available.  I agreed to installing the update and the Flashplayer has not worked since.  I referred to my notes from the "fix" last year and made one adjustment in the Active-X settings, but this did not help.  Flashplayer still does not work.  Help!  I just don't think I can go through this for several months again.

    Hi,
    I am going to try reorganizing my reply first and
    just forwarding to you before I try to recover a
    message.  I think the problem may be that I
    provided answers within your text instead of
    separately.  Your system may not like the format
    I tried.  So here goes....  I have pulled my
    answers out of your message and they appear in
    the order of your inquiries below.
    “Check the Windows system tray carefully to make
    certain no applications are still in memory which
    might possibly use Flash Player.” –a statement
    from the Adobe Un-install link article.  I don't
    know what “in memory” means.  The only things I
    have that may use Flashplayer that I know of is
    the Weather Bug.  Windows Mediaplayer is also
    listed in my programs, but I have never used it.
    Also, there is no mention of Norton here, but
    Norton Internet Security ’09 is what I have installed.
    1. No Firefox.  MSN Exlorer is listed among my
    Programs, but I have never used it.  It was
    likely installed by Dell when I purchased the computer.
    2. Norton Internet Security '09.  Bell Internet
    Security - Alert is listed in my programs (with
    options, including uninstall) but this is the first time I have noticed it.
    3. Norton Internet Security has a firewall with
    it that I understand is way better than Windows.
    4. There is a Google toolbar, Norton toolbar and
    a bunch of stuff listed in the Manage Add-ons
    like Skype, Adobe and Sun Java Console which I think are add-ons.
    Java Webstart is listed under Accessories in
    Programs.  In Programs is Adobe Distiller 6.0,
    Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Standard, Adobe (which is
    empty), Adobe.com and Adobe Reader 9.  I did not find DLM or GetPlus.
    I found no listing for Shockwave Flash
    Object.  You did not ask this and I don't mean to
    get ahead of you but in case there is relevance,
    I looked in Internet Options, Security, Custom
    and saw a number of reference to Active X and
    plug-ins, some of which are disabled; others enabled.
    From reading in your posts to mlmarg, I saw the
    instructions for finding the Flash folder and
    used them.  I used Explorer to access My
    Computer,, C Drive, Folder 1386, Folder System
    32.  There are 2 items in it from 2002 but not
    what I think you want.  The 2 are SMSS.EXE and
    NTDLL.DLL.  If this is not correct, I will need your instructions to locate it.
      I will ask because I don't always understand
    what you are asking of  me.  Thanks.

  • Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing!

    Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    why does record  window stay red and pre roll?

    Additional:
    Please do not make the subject header of your post so long in future...
    There is a bug in the forum software that often prevents posts to threads that have abnormally long subjects....
    Keep them short and to the point and then put the full question in the body of the post..
    In your case, the bug has not struck so far but it can at any time so please be aware of this issue...

  • FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7.

    FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7. Can anyone suggest a solution please.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == yesterday for no apparent reason.

    I had this problem once before, And now again.
    The only thing I did different, was Instead of shutting down my computer, I click on Log off User.
    Ever since then I have noticed windows XP is taking longer to load, and so is Firefox.
    Hope this clue helps.

  • Why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time

    why does my phone disconnect after 4 hours of call time? Is there anyway I can change this?

    You mean that you're on a single call for 4 hours continously, and then it disconnects?
    If so, contact your wireless carrier.  That's a cellular connection issue.

  • Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

    Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

    When you open Firefox in Safe Mode, it automatically disables your custom settings, themes, and add-ons. THOSE changes are temporary.
    However, if you click any of the boxes underneath the line, "You can make some or all of these changes permanent", and then choose "Make Changes and Restart", everything you checked will be forever changed, even when you start Firefox again in 'normal' mode. [See attached image for a preview of the Safe Mode options].
    To be clear:
    1. If you check any of the boxes but do NOT select "Make changes and restart", those things will not be changed at all in safe mode.
    2. If you select any of the boxes and you DO select "Make changes and restart", you will permanently lose any of the items you checked (bookmarks (except for backups), user preferences, etc.).
    If you performed the action in step 2 above, you will only be able to restore those things if you have a previously created back-up of your Mozilla Profiles folder (not the same as the Firefox program folder).
    Hope this helps.
