After starting firefox, I cannot visit any website or see anything but a grey screen where the website should be.
I opened FireFox to browse the internet and after clicking on FireFox the brower screen split into 2 different screens for a period of about 5 seconds then went back to just 1 screen. After returning back to one screen the browser screen then turned grey. I cannot see anything except the buttons to minimize, maximize, or close FireFox. Cannot type in a website to visit or anything.
Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Command+B on Mac).<br />
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.<br />
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

The Youtube pages load as normal, but as stated above, the player contains only a black screen, and the progress bar moves as usual when playing the clip, but I can only hear, and not see, the actual video.
Firefox version: 3.6.14
Windows VistaThanks so much for your reply fanboy20.
Yes, just made sure of that. I do have the latest version of Flash player. But I have just staggered upon the answer. Chalk it up to being a newbi. I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see
you tube on my computer while it was still operating on my TV. When I realized that, I put the apple tv to sleep and bingo, my computer runs you tube fine. Thanks again for your response. -

Hello!
First you might want to check about:plugins to get some information about your Flash plugin status.
If your plugin version is stated there along with more information - it means that its installed. Furthermore, if the plugin is outdated, well, this can be the first cause of the problem. Please go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ . I your plugins is outdated, please update.
If the problem persists, try creating a new Firefox profile see where it gets you.
More information here https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles
If still no go, we'll have to send your data to our dev team, meaning filling a bug in bugzilla under the core product and plugin component https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ . but i hope we won't get there.
Please let me know if any above worked for you

I have an older version of Firefox 3.6.6 I believe I am having an issue with one of the websites I sign into. Is there any way to update to the newest version. Without losing all my bookmarks and saved pass words?
Hello johngervais, the latest firefox version is 26.0 (today 4 Jan 2014).
note that [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-some-versions-windows-xp Firefox no longer works with some versions of Windows XP], if you have '''xp with sp2 and above''' you can update to latest version, see : [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/26.0/system-requirements/ Firefox 26 System Requirements]
if you are able to update to latest version then see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 Common questions after upgrading from Firefox 3.6]

Don't worry you won't losing bookmarks and passwords after update firefox.

My computer system slows down after starting firefox 3.6.6, how do I revert to 3.5 version?
My computer system slows down noticeably after starting Firefox 3.6.6, so I would like to shift back to the 3.5 version. What website in the Internet do I go to get the installer file?

Every time Firefox openedYour plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
# Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
Update the [[Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
See http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You can try if it works if you disable OOPP (Out-Of-Process-Plugins).
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled (currently false by default)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

My system recovered from a serious error recently. During the error, Firefox crashed. Since I have restarted my system and Firefox, I cannot use any of the toolbar options such as:close, minimise and maximise. Also, when I right click, an outline of a box appears without the visible options although on some occasions they appear after 10 seconds or so. Can you advise me of what to do to cure this problem please or is it a case of using a Windows tool such as System Restore?

Just downloaded Firefox 6.0 and have restarted 4 plus times, but it continues to hang while launching. I cannot open new windows, change any settings, or do anything but Force Quit. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. How do I get past this hang?
Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.

After updating firefox i cant play any pogo games. how come?
When i installede the latest version of Mozilla firefox I cannot play any of my pogo games. How can i remedy this?
Mozilla are aware of the issue in Firefox 3.6.14 and are working on a fix, no timescale but they are planning on a quick release.
A workaround pending the release of 3.6.15 is to install 3.6.13, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/pogo-and-other-java-pages-dont-work -

How to get rid of Pac-Man sounds
Shortly after starting Firefox the "music" reminiscent of Pac-Man starts. It is only on Firefox (haven't tried Thunderbird) even following an uninstall and re-install of Firefox. Just started today. Am using XP Home SP3.

I am not amused with the pac-man music. I spent the entire trying to find a virus on my computer. I might have tolerated this as an April Fool's joke, but this "celebration" was completely unnecessary!
And to others trying to fix the problem ... I just uninstalled Cool Previews and that did the trick. No more bat-shit-crazy pac-man music. -
After downloading ios7 I cannot open any games
After downloading ios7 I cannot open any games. Help!
You may want to take a look at the restrictions section. Go to the settings app and pick general, restrictions. If that doesn't work
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

After up dating iphone3 cannot get any sound on receiving calls or messages
After updating my iphone3 cannot get any sound on receiving calls or text does anybody no how to rectify this problam ?
I have been having this issue as well and have been looking online for possible solutions to the issue of the iPhone not receiving phone calls or text messages. The solution for me was solved when I turned off the LTE service, forcing the device to use the 4G network. Apparently, my location was just far enough from the LTE tower that calls to the phone were not going through, regardless of the signal strenght showing on the device. The LTE iPhone will always look for the closest LTE town which may be further than the closest non-LTE tower and as a a result, the signal drops. I would suggest contacting your service provider and have them locate the closest LTE tower to your location to determine if this is the cause of your issue.

I have some days ago started updating of Firefox for Mac OS 10.6.8 under Help but it is paused and the upgrading don´t continue when i start again
Hi Ryan,
I managed to find this reference specifically for restoring on Snow Leopard:
If you are using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, start your computer from the installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility.
Now that was copied from this more comprehensive reference:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
You may also find this article helpful:
http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
Finally, I cannot see why Time Machine would leave out your playlists and ratings? Think about it. Why would Time Machine specifically copy everything BUT your playlists and ratings? Ryan, what are your options? I would have to ask you this: Are you certain that you properly did the sync? That is another/different forum altogether: Using iPhone /see subsection on Syncing.
Either way...
Best Regards,
mm
EDIT: For whatever reason I tried three times to edit out one of the redundent adjectives... either different or another which preceeds the word forum, but the advanced editor would (apparently NOT allow me to do so). I hope that it doesn't render without any adjective before the word forum. -
I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?
No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.

..Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
