Wierd bar with blue circle appeared above tabs

HI -- last night, shortly after (not sure how long exactly) having installed Silverlight - direct from the amazon prime video site, a strange white bar with a blue ringed circle appeared above my tabs in the browser. I don't think it appeared directly after installing Silverlight, but some time afterwards - during which I was on and off my computer - it 'appeared'.....
Here's a pic:

And one in private browsing mode, which shows something, but I don't know what....

I tried disabling the silverlight plug in - nothing; I tried playing aroung with toolbar settings - nothing; then I restarted with Add-ons disabled (from the help menu) and it disappeared. But then when I restared in the normal mode - it was still there.... Do I have to reset (which which probably make it dissapear, but I want to know what's caused it)? Do I have some sort of bug? Should I be worried, virus (maybe this is excessive; i'm on a mac, but...)?
Thanks for any help

If the problem does not happen in Safe Mode, it is most likely because of an extension, theme or hardware acceleration.

  • "Updated" search bar with Bing search appeared in Tabs today & I can't get rid of it!

    PROBLEM SOLVED! This is so embarrassing, but here's what fixed it. I'll leave the question here in case others download the add-on and can't figure out why it's doing what it's doing, but if a mod wants to delete the question I won't mind.
    Anyhow, I right clicked on exactly the right spot on the bar and chose Delete, which brought up the add-on tab, which showed an add-on called "Default Tab," restarted Firefox, and now both behaviors are gone--no more search window in the tab bar, and no more search box in new tabs. I must have thought Default Tabs sounded cool, but didn't expect it to do what it did.
    <nowiki>********************************************************************************</nowiki>
    Sometime between Friday and this morning a new search box¬ appeared in Firefox that called itself the “Updated Search Bar” until I tried it the first time. I’d like to avoid resetting Firefox, but if that’s the only way to fix this I guess I’ll have to. All suggestions are welcome.
    The box looks much like the default search box except that it has a big orange button on the right saying "Search." It’s located in the tab bar, next to the last tab, taking up valuable real estate if I have more than 4 or 5 tabs open, which I often do. The default “search” is Bing, the other options are things like Facebook and Twitter, and it has no option to manage search engines. It doesn’t appear in my extensions or plugins, and I can’t find information about it anywhere.
    BTW, my old search box is still in the navigation bar, and although I haven’t been able to get rid of Bing for the “search” search, I’ve made DuckDuckGo the default by moving it to the top of the list.
    Thanks for reading!

    PROBLEM SOLVED (see above)
    Oh, and now if I open a new tab it has a Bing search bar. Grr!

  • At App Store I see that Facebook needs updating. However, when I click on "update" the blue circle appears but nothing else happens.

    At App Store I see that Facebook needs updating. However, when I click on "update" the blue circle appears but nothing else happens.

    The blue circle should go around, clockwise, as a fine line, and then as a heavy line indicating it is downloading.  Then it sits while the install takes place.  It may sit and wait to start the download if the internet connection is slow.

  • Help!: I clicked the gestures from the white circle and accidentally pressed something and now 4 blue circles appeared on my screen and I can't open my iPod.

    I don't know what to do, I don't want to restore it and make the songs go away..

    Nyet. Anywho, I managed to fix it just now hehe. i just suddenly pressed the assistive touch(white circle thingy) then clicked gestures and accidentally clicked one of those number things. My screen just showed blue circles and I am unable to do anything so, I just pressed the home button and power button together and ignored the "slide to turn off" (or so). Then everything went back to normal...
    THANK YOU THOUGH! XD

    Hello Kostas2005,
    Your system seems to be loading something all the time after an update.
    You can run a system restore to remove the updates that are causing the problems.
    This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
    Here is a link on how to do a restore.
    Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • 3 blue circles, no access to iPhone

    My sister was playing with my iPhone 4. She handed the phone back to me and now there is a little silver button on the right side, lower, of the screen. When you press it, three blue circles appear. I cannot unlock my phone or slide it to turn it off, it's as if the touch screen has frozen completely. The only thing I can do is touch that little silver circle which in turn illuminates the three blue circles. How do I gain access to my iPhone and turn that terrible feature off?

    Oh and I think I should add, my home button hardly works, so reseting it isn't working.

  • On Firefox Nightly (64bit) full-screen is not full-screen. Menu bar and tabs appear above the full-screen.

    I'm running Debian Testing (Jessie) with a 3.15-10.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 kernel. I'm running Mozilla Nightly 34.0a1. All is well except in full-screen mode. The problem is present whether running a video using the Flashplayer or HTML5. When playing a video and selecting "Full-screen mode" Firefox goes into full-screen as usual, except... the tab bar appears above the so-called "full" screen and so does the navigation/search bar which appears just below the tab bar and just above the video itself.
    I can make this problem disappear by creating a new profile which is basically a "blank slate" (nothing added). I can show you a screen-shot if you wish to see the non-full-screen yourselves.

    Hi dsiddens
    You can right-click empty space on the Tab bar or Navigation Toolbar to open the toolbar context menu and set a tick on "Hide Toolbars".

    What operating system version, and do you have any backups of your data off the machine? TimeMachine? Option Key bootable clones? Storage? DVD's?
    A reinstall of the operating system may be in order as a last resort, so if any of these steps on these links get you into the machine, make sure to backup your personal data (Music, Pictures, Documents, Movies) off the machine to a non-encrypted  powered external drive regular storage drive (not TimeMachine as it might be corrupted too) and disconnect as soon as possible.
    Good Luck and report back all what you tried.
    Also report what change occured before this tragedy happened, was there a  Software Update? A EFI firmware update? Etc.

  • Blue symbols and letters are appearing above text

    When typing, my computer is slowing down sometimes and blue symbols (numbers, letters, and images) are appearing above along with a list of numbers. This is happening directly above whatever I'm typing. Very annoying on 2 levels. What is showing up on my screen is behind what I'm actually typing and it slows everything down. Attached is an screen shot of this happening as I was typing the title to this post (fortunately I was able to catch it with a screenshot).

    From the menu bar, select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Keyboard ▹ Keyboard. Move the slider labeled Delay Until Repeat to the left.

    keithfrommariettaOct 12, 2014 3:25 PM Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgrade
    Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
    SOLVED:  IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
    I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
    Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
    THE FIX:  FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device.  Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
    To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now!  :-)
    Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.
