Why does the browser window change colour when I bookmark a page or click the Downloads button?

Using Firefox 20 on MacOS - when I click the Downloads button or Cmd-D to bookmark a page, the browser window changes from looking like this:

to looking like this:

Any thoughts would be welcome.

Hi there,
Wow, that looks odd! I have no idea why that would happen, but I wonder if it's related to one of the add-ons you have installed? I see a red icon in the status bar that I'm not familiar with, which leads me to believe that you may have other add-ons installed. One thing to try is to start Firefox Firefox with add-ons disabled (you can do this from the Help menu). If you don't see this problem in that mode, the issue is caused by one of the add-ons. From the Tools menu, you can access the add-ons and disable them one by one. Remember to restart each time and then test it out.
If none of that takes care of this, my other suggestion would be Firefox Reset: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
Hope any of this helps.
Cheers,
David

    Why does a finder window pop up when I open numbers?

    New Document is one click in the lower left of the opening window!  You could write an AppleScript to avoid that one click, but that may not be worth the candle.
    Note that after that one click you can save an additional click by specifying 'Use template:<your chosen template>' instead of 'Show Template Chooser' in Numbers > Preferences > General.

    Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
    OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
    Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

  • Any Mozilla product I install crashes at startup. The first window I see when I open a Mozilla product is the crash reporter. I have tried every possible solution but cannot open anything. It started with firefox. Can anyone please help?

    Hi there, as the question says, I cannot open any Mozilla product. I have tried to install firefox 3.6, older versions of Firefox, Firefox 4.0, Sea Monkey, Thunder Bird and Sun Bird. I have the same problem everytime. I open any of these programs and the first and the only window that appears is the crash reporter. I've tried opening it in Safe Mode and the same occurs. I have tried entirely uninstalling the products incuding the registry keys but no help. I shall post the detailed error reports, if they help solving this issue. Can you kindly look into this and find a solution as I use all of these Mozilla products and my life has been a hell since they've ben down.

    Same problem over here as well, FF 7 is ok but FF8 / FF9 and Thunderbird 8 / 9 crash on startup.
    They both work if I start them in safe mode with everything enabled.

  • After I upgraded to latest version of FF (16 on windows xp), the browser doesn't load css menu of hwupgrade page (hwupgrade.it).the other web browser works fine

    after I updated to the latest version of the product, some sites have been slow in rendering, but the biggest problem is the not display of styles in some sites, such as in particular hwupgrade.it.
    the menu is not recognized.
    the console does not show any serious problem.
    the problem does't occur with previous versions or with other browsers

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

  • Why does "Open Browser Window" Behavior only give the option for "OnMouseOver"?

    The title says it all.  I want to use the OnClick behavior butit will not let me have that option.  I can not figure it out, nor find anything on Google.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan.

    Which one?
    2014.0 (June of last year)
    2014.1 (October last year)
    2014.1.1 (most recent)
    If you don't have the "latest" the general blanket statement of "update to the most recent" will probably be what you get from any customer support personnel you reach.
    Personally, I haven't gone past 2014.0 yet, and probably won't for a while.
    In my CC 2014.0, the OnMouseOver is the default, but when I click it in the Behavior Panel to choose other options, they're all there.

    Hi OGELTHORPE,
    I started having the issue again of the desktop image not being the same and switching from my personal image to default image when waking up from sleep. I followed your instructions and when I verified disk permissions on the Macintosh HD it showed a bunch of files all related to permissions differining with iTunes. I went ahead and fixed them.
    Verifying the disk said:
    Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
    Checking file systemPerforming live verification.
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking extents overflow file.
    Checking catalog file.
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking catalog hierarchy.
    Checking extended attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.
    When I verify the 750.16 GB APPLE HDD H... it shows this:
    Verifying partition map for “APPLE HDD HTS547575A9E384 Media”
    Checking prerequisites
    Checking the partition list
    Checking for an EFI system partition
    Checking the EFI system partition’s size
    Checking the EFI system partition’s file system
    Checking all HFS data partition loader spaces
    Checking Core Storage Physical Volume partitions
    The partition map appears to be OK
    I then followed your link and got to the part where it said to delete:
    com.apple.desktop.plist     (corrupted/not working desktop picture changes)
    At first this seemed to fix the situation as I logged back in when waking from sleep. However, today it started happening again where instead of my saved image on the desktop it showed the default. Do you have any ideas of why this might be happening? Does this mean I just have to keep deleting the com.apple.desktop.plist file from now on whenever the issue comes up, or is there a more permanent solution?
    Thanks again for your help!

  • Why does debugger not find source code when compiler output has been directed to the root directory, but the source is in a sub-directory, using Forte for JAVA community edition V3.0

    I have configured Forte to put compiler output, i.e. my classes, in the root directory of the project. I now find that the debugger does not find the source code when it is in a sub-directory. However, if I temporarily copy a classes' source code to the root directory the debugger will display it.
    To direct compiler output to the root directory I selected Project >Settings>Compiler types, then External Compiler ( which is the default compiler in my case ) and set Target to be the root project directory. This is the only directory it will allow.

    This Forum is for Forte 4GL or UDS as its called today. I am not sure if anybody is going to be able to answer your question here. Sorry.

  • Why when I bookmark a page and return to it later, the star I clicked to bookmark it is no longer yellow, but I didn't delete the bookmark?

    When I bookmark a page by clicking the star on the Awesome Bar, it turns yellow. But when I return to the page that I just bookmarked, it's no longer yellow; it's transparent. But, I didn't delete the bookmark, so I have no idea why it's no longer bookmarked. Can someone help me out with this? Thank you!

    It is possible that you got redirected to another web page.
    Does this bookmark still show up in the folder where you saved it or is it gone there as well?
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Can I close the browser window when I run a form?

    Hi,
    I'm running forms using SeparateFrame=TRUE, but the browser windows remains in background, could I close it before exiting the form?
    thanks

  • I cannot move, resize, minimize, or close the browser window despite everything inside the window still working.

    I don't know what details are needed so I'll just rattle off anything that I can think of.
    I am running an Asus laptop with windows 7. I have never had an issue with firefox in the past (beyond the usual freezing and some obvious issues with pop up ads that are par for the course with firefox since adblocker never does what it says.... not really. Lets be honest.) I am using Avast for my virus protection and it is also up to date.
    My issue started about an hour ago when firefox stopped responding. The video I had playing kept going but I could not interact with anything. Assuming the program froze for the billionth time that week I rebooted it. This has always solved freezing issues in the past. Now, however, firefox is doing something new.
    I can access the menus and almost everything on the window itself except for the minimize/maximize/close buttons, I cannot move the window at all, and I cannot manually resize it. I have also noticed that although videos will play, I can only click on their buttons if there is another smaller window overtop of firefox. The video controls will only appear that way and when I click them firefox naturally comes to the front and the video responds with the button I used but the buttons are gone again and I cannot resume playing without the smaller window back in front to make the buttons show again.
    It's as if half of firefox is frozen while the other half is still running somehow.
    I have no themes that could be causing this. Literally none. I only use firefox for the things that can no longer be opened in Opera so I have no need for any theme beyond default. The only addons I installed on purpose were adblockers (lord knows why. they don't DO anything.) though several other random things seem to have been installed over time to aid in one thing or another. Various plugins and players and versions of java, that sort of thing. But I have everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) in the addon menu disabled.
    I have tried booting it up in safe mode (the program, not windows) and the problem is still there except now it won't show the menu bar at all unless I press the alt key first and even then it wont let me actually click on anything in the menu bar. When I try the whole bar vanishes. I had to close firefox with the task manager.
    Rebooting will fix the issue for about 15 seconds before it all comes back.
    Any attempts at updating have failed as it says I am already up to date on everything so I don't know what its issue is.
    It's not an urgent issue right now as most of what i need to do can be done on the half screen window I am using, but some of my sites have buttons that literally vanish in anything but full screen and I imagine that this will be a much greater annoyance within a few days.

    After following all the instructions given, I poked around safe websites as suggested. I am not sure why this step was needed, as websites functioned rather normally before I came here but I did it anyways and found that the websites still work the same as they did. I can still do everything I used to be able to do. I see no change in the function of the websites.
    However, I still cannot resize, close, or move the browser window. I don't know if Netflix is a safe site or not (too many conflicting opinions on that one from the masses) so I don't know if the issue with the vanishing buttons is still there, but all the issues I had with the browser window itself is still there.
    Even in safe mode the browsers three window control buttons on the top right refuse to let me use them and the window itself will refuse to be moved around.

  • My Adobe Reader toolbar that allows you to save, print, email, etc. the document in the browser window/tab has disappeared and I want to know how to get it back.

    I was unable to view PDF files in Firefox and would get a blank screen telling me I needed to re-install Adobe. I did that and was still unable to view PDF files in the browser window or tab.
    Now that I have upgraded to the most current version of Firefox I no longer have the Adobe Reader toolbar that used to be a toolbar above a PDF file when viewing in the browser window or tab. I don't have the printer icon, floppy disc icon, email icon, page arrows to scroll up or down, the percentage for size, etc. Is there a way to be able to have this toolbar again?

    I do not use Adobe Reader, but use Foxit Reader in its place, and had the same problem. In Foxit Reader, I right-clicked in the area at the top where you would expect the toolbar to be (it was a blank area immediately above the displayed PDF file), and chose which toolbars to display and that has "stuck" and I still see the Foxit toolbars when I load a PDF file after system shutdown overnight. The only problem is that the area where you would expect the toolbars is still there and blank, but the toolbars that I selected appear immediately below that blank area. See if that works in Adobe Reader for you.

  • Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one).  If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model.  If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below. 
    If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears.  If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
    If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.
