After double clicking Firefox icon on desktop screen is black. Tried uninstalling and downloading. Didn't help. What can I do?

When I double click the Firefox icon on my desktop it brings me to a black screen rather than the Google start page. I tried updating Firefox and that didn't help. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but that did not help. I am using Microsoft Explorer to download and send this message. I have never had this problem before. Any ideas to help me get rid of the black screen so Firefox is functioning? Thanks in advance. Molly

Hi Molly, you probably found the answer in another thread by now, but this is caused by Firefox 33 being incompatible with older graphics card/chipset driver software. As a temporary workaround, you can disable Firefox from using hardware acceleration. More info: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025438

    I synced my Ipod to itunes now I can only double tap the icons on the screen, it seems that the swipeing feature has somehow been disabled, Is there a way i could fix it or get it back to normal?

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may have an accessibility feature called VoiceOver enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to use VoiceOver as well as how to disable it.

  • When I click to open firefox, about 20 browsers come up. Uninstalled and reinstalled, same problem. What can I do?

    No further details

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • Firefox opens three sided frame when you open it. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't help.

    Firefox 5 cannot load properly. When it loads, it opens a blank frame with three sides showing (left, bottom, right). I say the frame is blank because it shows the blank desktop color inside the frame. Uninstall and reinstall was not successful.
    No crash id available as I cannot get an interface.
    Using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Toshiba laptop.
    I have a screenshot available if there is somewhere to post it.
    Other browser applications work with no problems.

    -> Start Firefox in Safe Mode by Holding down SHIFT key while Starting Firefox
    -> As an alternative method, press '''Win + R''' keys and enter one of the following in the Windows Run box:
    firefox -safe-mode
    OR
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
    -> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear -> DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click '''Continue in Safe Mode'''
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Firefox crashes several minutes after opening every time I use it. I think Firefox was updated shortly before this started. Uninstalling and reinstalling have not helped. Updating all plug-ins has also had no effect. Would appreciate help fixing this.

    Browser starts out working normally but within a few minutes it freezes, stops responing and I have to close it using Task Manager. When I open Task Manager, it shows two Firefox programs running with different icons even though I only opened one window.

    iTunes saves out a new copy of the entire library file every time a change is made to the library. This is not new behavior.
    The slowdowns I have seen like this have ususally been caused by:
    A virus
    or
    Some anti-virus software is incorrectly interpreting the rewriting of the file and is causing a problem.
    Either way, you should definitely update your anti-virus software and definitions to the latest, and run a full scan of your system. If that does not help, you may want to recreate your iTunes library.

  • Know why Premiere Elements 3.0 won't start when I double click the icon?

    I have Windows Vista 32 bit.  I have Premiere Elements 3.0 and the 3.0.2 patch.  When I double click the icon, it won't load.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it still won't load.  It worked as recently as last week.  I had some virus issues so I took my laptop to Geek squad and they "fixed" the issues.
    I never had this problem with Premiere before.  Anybody know what might be causing it not to start?
    I have been considering an upgrade.  I see that they are up to version 9.  Will version 9 even work on Vista?

    It depends.
    What do you mean by "I never had this problem before"? Do you mean Premiere Elements worked fine until the Geek squad restored your computer?
    Unless they totally wiped your hard drive and reinstalled your operating system, they may have patched but not totally fixed your problem.
    Or it could be that your computer just needs a good cleaning and defragging. Assuming you've got adequate power and a good 30-50 gigabytes of free defragmented space on your C drive.
    But there's a very good chance that, if you've re-installed version 3 and it still won't run, then version 9 won't run either. After all, if you still haven't remedied yoru core problem, a new vehicle isn't likely to make any difference, right?
    Still, there's no harm in trying. Why not download free trial and see?

  • Handling Double click on a Pop-up screen with ALV Grid

    Hello Experts,
    I have an issue handling double click on ALV Pop-up screen. I tried to achive this using following steps.
    1. I defined a local class in Top-include to handle double click and implemented it in the following way.
    CLASS lcl_alv_event_handler DEFINITION.
    PUBLIC SECTION.
    CLASS-METHODS:
    on_double_click FOR EVENT double_click
    OF cl_gui_alv_grid
    IMPORTING e_row
    e_column
    es_row_no.
    ENDCLASS. "lcl_alv_event_handler DEFINITION
    *~~~ Implementation code
    CLASS lcl_alv_event_handler IMPLEMENTATION.
    To handle Selection of Issue data on Screen 100
    METHOD on_double_click.
    DATA: lt_row_no TYPE lvc_t_roid,
    ls_req TYPE zcst_zirt_seltab.
    READ TABLE gt_req
    INTO ls_req
    INDEX e_row-index.
    g_req_id = ls_req-zzrequest_id.
    gv_selected = true.
    CALL METHOD go_alv->dispatch
    EXPORTING
    cargo = 'OK'
    eventid = 3
    is_shellevent = ' '
    is_systemdispatch = 'X'
    EXCEPTIONS
    cntl_error = 1
    OTHERS = 2.
    IF sy-subrc 0.

    ENDIF.
    ENDMETHOD. "on_double_click
    ENDCLASS. "lcl_alv_event_handler IMPLEMENTATION
    2. Registered the event in the PBO module of the screen
    ls_events-eventid = 3.
    ls_events-appl_event = gc_true.
    APPEND ls_events TO lt_events.
    CALL METHOD co_alv->set_registered_events

    ENDIF.
    CREATE OBJECT co_alv_event_handler.
    SET HANDLER: co_alv_event_handler->on_double_click FOR co_alv.
    CALL METHOD co_alv->set_toolbar_interactive.
    3. In the PAI module of Screen, tried to handle the event 'OK' that waqs registred in PBO.
    CASE save_ok.
    WHEN 'OK'.
    Get selected line
    CALL METHOD io_alv->get_selected_rows
    IMPORTING
    et_index_rows = lt_rows
    et_row_no = lt_rows_no.
    IF NOT lt_rows IS INITIAL.
    READ TABLE lt_rows INTO ls_rows INDEX 1.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    gv_selected = 'X'.
    READ TABLE it_req
    INTO ls_req
    INDEX ls_rows-index.
    e_req_id = ls_req-zzrequest_id.
    SET SCREEN 0.
    ENDIF.
    ELSE.
    SET SCREEN 0.
    ENDIF.
    With this code what is happening is, when user double clicks a line on Pop-up screen with ALV grid data, the program is able to successfully get into the class implementation but the control is not going to PAI module to execute the OK_code handling part.
    Am I doing this in the right way? Appreciate quick suggestions. Proper posts will be thoroughly awarded with points.
    Thx.
    Minni

    Put your code into the Event handler Implementation of Double Click which is there in the PAI Module.
