A little white box appears in my browser window, and I am unable to do ANYTHING in Firefox, I can't even close the window.

I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8, so I know that Firefox should be working. The very first time I downloaded Firefox, I was able to use it for about 20 minutes, and then I kept getting some kind of white box (just small) that would pop-up over top of the search bar. Once this box showed up, I was unable to do anything in the browser...I couldn't close it, search, choose "file"...NOTHING. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times, and it still doesn't work.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

The same thing happened to me... Since two days the ******* thing keeps freezing after a while. Then I try to reboot and the screen goes white and it doesn't boot. If I wait like half an hour it boots again.
I thought it was a hardware problem, but the Apple Hardware Test founds nothing at all. I think it has to do with the software update I performed 2 days ago.

Anyone else have a little white box, top left of browser window???

After the new big update, (that still wont allow changing the color of the arrange window...) I notice I have a little white box top left of my browser window, in logic of course, that actually only shows up while cursor is moving. Not a big deal, but I feel it may be associated with a new problem. The browser window is how i usually go through my personal samples, not apple loops. And normally, I open the folder, and play the first file via space bar, or little speaker icon. Then I just arrow down, as fast or slow as i please, and they continue to play, without having to hit space bar or speaker icon. No longer. I have to hit play at every file, UNLESS I manage to skip to the next before current is done playing. Not a huge problem, but when your riffling through a folder with 300 kick drums that are only a half a second long, it can ruffle your feathers. I dont recall ever setting a prefference or a setting, but perhaps one exists..? Any help would be appreciated.

I'd send some feedback to the Logic Devs... to bring back the old functionality, if I were you....
https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html
...as they are not here....... and therefore dont tend to read posts here unfortunately...
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5671
As for the spacebar problem you are having... Not happening here... unless I put the focus on the arrange window.. Click on one of the sample in the browser window and then the focus is on the browser window and the spacebar starts playing the samples... and not the project.
Cheers..

Mozilla Crash Reporter shows up whenever i open Firefox, i can't even use the browser due to how fast it crashes, please help!

So from yesterday i started getting random crashes with Firefox and at one point it had froze my screen for a few minutes, now today when i attempted to get into my browser there is about 5 seconds before it instantly closes and sends me a crash reporter, i have tried re-installing and system restore AND trying to use safe mode but it still crashes, is anyone experiencing the same problem?

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

When I open a photo in CS6 from Adobe Bridge, a large white box appears. How do I fix this?

Good day!
Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Internet videos with little white box in middle

When viewing videos on the Internet I keep getting a little white box with Adobe Flash Player on top and an unknown company asking permission to download on my computer with an option to Accept or Deny on the bottom. When hitting the Deny button it does not go away. How do I permanently stop these boxes from appearing?

Is Flash disabled on your Mac?
See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player do not include the latest security updates and will be disabled to help keep your Mac secure. If Safari 5.1.7 or Leopard Security Update 2012-003 detects an out-of-date version of Flash Player on your system, you will see a dialog informing you that Flash Player has been disabled. The dialog provides the option to go directly to Adobe's website, where you can download and install an updated version of Flash Player.
Additional Information
If you need to re-enable an out-of-date version of Flash Player, you can do the following:
    1.    Navigate to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder.
    2.    Drag "Flash Player.plugin" into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
    3.    If the browser is running, quit and restart it.

Inoperable little white box obscures all web videos

What is the inoperable little white box that obscures all my web videos?
For example, upon searching for "Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook”, and clicking on “360 degree [video] tour”, there appeared a maddening little white box with the following message: “Adobe Flash Player Settings. Local Storage. AppAsset.AppStudio.Kitd.com is requesting permission to store information on your computer. Requested up to: 10KB. Currently Used: 0 KB [Download [icon], “Allow” or “Deny”]” None of the three choices are active links and therefore do not work. The little white cannot be removed without terminating the desired video. Every time it comes up it almost completely obscures the video that I am interested in (on U-Tube or in the advertisement).
If this is an Adobe device, it needs to be fixed immediately because it does not work! Or, is it an internet bug which may damage my PC’s operations?
My PC is a HP Paviolion dv3-2150us Entertainment Notebook PC running Windows 7. The problem has been recurring for one week.

Sorry about that - I didn't know any better. First time on the Adobe forum. Later I did realize the error and posted it also on the Adobe Flash Player forum, hopefully the correct one. I don't know how or if I can remove this incorrect posting. If you have the privilege to remove it, please do so with my thanks. Or clue me in, and I will do it immediately.

I was taking pictures on my iPad and all of a sudden these single white horizonital and vertical lines appeared on my photo off center connected to a little white box. How did they get there and how do I get rid of them.
Thanks,

Sounds like you have the Grid turned on. Tap Options and turn off Grid.
The grid is used to assist in composing a photo using "the rule of thirds". Rather than centering your subject line the subject up on a line or intersection of the line for a more pleasing photo. Landscape photos can also look better by aligning the horizon with one of the horizontal lines

Little white box on the numbers, stops playback, can drag it back in time but not forward, can't figure out how to delete it, how do I get rid of this thing?

On the numbers that show where you are on a track, appeared a little white box. It stops the playback, I can move it left, or back in time, but not right, or forward in time. How can I delete this thing?

Thanks for the replies. Yes it's the end of song marker-I didn't put it there. It appeared, a bug I guess?
In this instance it could only be dragged left for some reason. I was working on another file and it did let me drag it right, maybe the the non-dragability was a bug too. It's all moot, because I went back to the file and it's blank! But I can start again, I have the WAV.
I am a novice of long standing with antiquated hardware and software, but I'm having fun and creating some useful audio. Really appreciate the help.

I have a white box appear on desktop every time I click on the desktop. How can I remove it?

Can anyone help me remove this little white box that appear every time I click on the desktop?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Column of Little White Boxes On Desktop

There is a strange column of little white boxes in the lower right corner of the desktop. There is a "9.8" over them. What is this?

I don't have the slightest idea what that is, but I have an idea how you can find out.
Log out of your account, then log back in while holding down the shift key until the Desktop appears. That is, enter you user name and password, then hold the shift key and click the "Log In" button. This will prevent your login items from loading. There's no need to reboot at this point. Do you still see the graphic? If not, then it's being drawn by one of the applications you launched the last time you logged in. Go through them until you find it.

White box appears while switching between two desktops

Since few weeks I have a problem when I switch between two Desktops. Everytime I switch between them a white box appears in the left corner of my screen (see screenshot).

Mysterious white box appears when project published

Hi all
Another issue. When either either hit F4 to preview a project, or publish it to an .exe, a mysterious white box appears across a few of the slides.
I've hunted for the cause of this box everywhere. It doesn't appear when I preview the same slides using F3. There are no objects in the timelines of those slides that would explain it.
How do I get rid of this box appearing? It makes me want to remove this program from my computer altogether.

Hi Clifford
The path looks right. On my PC, with Desktop and Admin, my path settings for Discoverer look like this:
%DISCO10%\bin; (171 files and 0 folders)
%DISCO10%\jlib; (53 files and 1 folder)
%DISCO10%\jre\1.4.2\bin\client; (2 files)
%DISCO10%\jre\1.4.2\bin; (62 files and 1 folder)
where %DISCO10% is c:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1
I can't see anything wrong with the path. This is very mystifying. I think you may have to speak with Oracle Support. Other than the Discoverer installation being corrupt with one or more files missing I can't think why you would be seeing a white console box. I'll keep researching and if I come upon anything I will let you know. To help I have listed alongside each of my locations the number of files and fodlers I have. If yours is different there is a possibility of a corruption.
Best wishes
Michael

Black (or White) Box appearing on photos sometimes when zooming in and out.

I just recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CC and something really odd is happening: On some zoom levels I have this empy black or white box appearing. When I zoom in or out it disappears, or reappears.
However, when I save the file as a JPEG, or bring it into Google Nik it is OK. It's almost like there is a software bug, or a bad memory spot in my video card. Any suggestions?

Google updated the plugins recently to correct this problem:
https://support.google.com/nikcollection/answer/4400822?hl=en&ref_topic=3001406
Version 1.109 (December 11/2013) is the latest:
Fixed black or white tile artifacts that might have occurred after returning to Photoshop from plug-ins
You can find out the version you have installed by launching Photoshop:
On Mac: Select Photoshop>About Plug-in>Analog Efex Pro… (or any other NIK Plug-in)
On Windows: Select Help>About Plug-in>Analog Efex Pro… (or any other NIK Plug-in)

A little white box appears in my browser window, and I am unable to do ANYTHING in Firefox, I can't even close the window.
