All I get is a plain white page

When I first logged into Mozilla Firefox, I got a brief command that it is updating the software, which happens occasionally when first starting. There was a brief command/status bar and not nothing but a plain white screen. I have ran a full deep scan on my laptop, deleted the existing Mozilla Firefox program, from "Uninstall a program" in my computer settings. I logged in to Internet Explorer and downloaded your program and the same situation, a plain white screen.
Any suggestions?

Hi ajtom, I actually have to log off now, but here's a final comment.
It might be that Firefox was not completely closed when you were holding down Shift. If any Firefox windows are still open, the Shift is ignored and you just get a new window.
If you can't find a way to exit out of Firefox and you want to do a blind restart of the existing Firefox window in Safe Mode, you can do this sequence on the keyboard:
Alt+h (to drop down the Help menu)
r (to "click" Restart with Add-ons disabled)
Enter (to confirm)
Then after 10-15 seconds you should get the dialog with the Start in Safe Mode button. Does that work any better?

  • I am trying to download an iWork manual from the Apple website.  All I get is a plain black page, even tho' I am following download instructions carefully.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader.

    I am trying to download an iWork 09 manual from the Apple website but all I get is a big plain black window.  I am following the download instructions very carefully.  I know I have the most recent version of Adobe Reader.  Using Safari, when I try to "Save As", I get a message saying "cannot export".  What am I doing wrong??

    Turns out this is an overall problem....any PDF I try to download on line turns up the same plain black page.  Doesn't matter whether it is what I tried to download mentioned above, or if it's the latest power bill from our utility company.  An UGLY black screen!!   I have it set up that downloaded PDF documents should open in Preview.
    On the other hand, any PDF documents in my computer files open with no problem.
    Prior to installing Lion, most of my activity lately has been converting AppleWorks documents to Pages and, if that doesn't work, I convert to PDF.  Other than that, I haven't been fooling around with any settings.
    Once again, I appreciate  your input....any other suggestions?

    David.  Thank you very much.   The problem was not with the canvas but rather the Viewer.  But the solution was the same.  Somehow, the Viewer window was re-set to Alpha.  I changed it back to RGB.... and the picture is back.   These issues are often very simple.... but they can drive you bats if you don't know the answer.   Very grateful.  Tim

  • I want to print the story on a story site but all that gets printed is the home page.

    If I go to a site where readers have posted stories I want to print out those stories so I can read them in a comfortable chair and not have to stare at a computer screen. When using Internet Explorer when I click on the story and then hit ctr+p it will print out the story no matter how many pages it is.
    When I try that on Firefox all that gets printed is the home page of the site.
    By the way, my computer shop installed Firefox the other day so I don't know what version it is.

  • My ipad won't charge.  All I get is picture of white USB cable and iTunes Logo.

    My ipad won't charge.  I must admit, I did use it until there was only 2% power left and then went and plugged directly into power and not through PC... but it won't charge.  All I get is picture of white USB cable, an arrow and the iTunes Logo.  I have turned off and on again as previous posts but all I get is the picture of the USB cable, arrow and iTunes logo.  Please help...

    I have been relatively patient - 3 hours on charge but all it does is show picture of USB cable and itunes logo. It it were charging you would think that a picture of the charge would come up to indicate status of charge - wouldn't you think?

  • How to get rid of blank white page next to cover page when converting an indesign file into a pdf flip book

    Hey Everyone,
    I created an catalog using indesign and now I want to convert that into a pdf flip book. I have exported it as a SWF then changing the SWF back into a pdf. It works great however, I keep getting a blank white page next too my cover page, and I really don't want this. I find it very distracting and visually unappealing. Is there any way to get rid of this blank white page? Or any other suggestions on how to create a flip book out of an indesign file.

    It sounds as if you're not checking the pagination properties of the chapter after the problem within the book file.
    The book file settings always trump the component file's settings.
    So this would mean that, if Chapter 3 is set in the book file to start on a Right page, the book enforces this by adding a blank page to Chapter 2.
    You should be able to fix this by selecting all the component chapters in the book, right-clicking and setting all the pagination properties to start on Next Available page, but I don't have 7 on this system so I can't give you the exact key strokes.

  • Having trouble with my PHP code. Appers to get stuck on a white page.

    HI all,
    I have just began having trouble with my PHP code. Was working before and haven't made any changes to the code since last time it worked.
    What happens is after the form is submitted it goes to a white page (no text just all white page) and in the address bar it has the path for my php page. what supposed to happen is either it goes to a success page or a error page.
    I've had a problem where the info entered is correct but was directed to the error page. i managed to fix that issue but i am puzzled what is happening to my php page now.
    Mind you that i didn't write this code i just took over the responsiblities of this website and i am hopping that its a quick fix.
    I appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you.
    CODE:
    <?php
       $to = '[email protected]';
          $from = '[email protected]';
            //Make sure we have some info posted from the form...
            if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS)){
                //Clear the body of the message to be sent
                $body = '';
                //go through all POSTed variables sent
                while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)){
        if($key <> "Submit" && $key <> "submit") {
         $body .= $key . ' = ' . $value . "\r\n"; 
                //Now building mail headers.....
                $headers = "From: ".$from."\r\n";
                //Mail message
                $success = mail($to, "Email Club" . date("m/d/Y"), $body, $headers);
       // CURL stuff.....
       $ch = curl_init();
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 4); //times out after 4s
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
                 if ($success){
        //readfile('http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/thankyou.html');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/thankyou.html");
        header("Location:http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/thankyou.html");
                else{
                 // readfile('http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/error.html');
         curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/error.html");
         header("Location:http://www.lvpaiutegolf.com/error.html");
       // Output
       //$result=curl_exec ($ch);
       //curl_close ($ch);
       //echo $result'";
    ?>

    Insert the install disk and boot from it. Use disk utitlity to repair your drive and check for errors (report any errors back here) then reinstall the os. This should not erase your data.

  • I have downloaded Firefox 3 times and all I get is the 'google search' page. Why don't I get the Firefox browser page? page

    I had Firefox on my old computer and really liked it. I can't remember how I was able to 'mesh' Firefox with my ATT home page. All I have is the 'Google' search page when I open Firefox. The page does not appear to be the same one shown under 'Getting Started', with the various tabs, etc. I'm sure it's something I haven't done correctly but I need help.

    google is block in some country. so make sure you are not the citizen of those countries. 2nd, some net admin of some organization will block google for some unsung excuse. so make sure not their reasons. 3rd, if you really could properly get into google days before, try to use "nslookup" to test www.google.com, if it cannot reply a proper ip version 4 address, then it is not the problem of firefox, it is your network connection or networking setting-up problem. so you need a network-engineer-alike buddy to help you. and how to use nslookup, if you can surf online, try another search engine like yahoo.com to get detailed usage of it.
    good luck buddy.

  • Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.14 (latest) shows a plain white page without content in Firefox 4.0.1 running under Windows 7 Pro 64-bit; is this Firefox or Adobe?

    Our revenue service requires electronic forms to be submitted which are displayed by Adobe Flash Player. I call up a form and get a white sheet without any content. This did not happen with Firefox 3.6.??. It does not happen in Internet Explorer 9 either but IE uses an Active X version of the Adobe plugin. I see on the Adobe forums many people are having this problem.
