Alter Firefox default load screen position Win 7

Issue = Firefox Load screen-position
I find Firefox loads in Windows 7 at
the Right
of the screen and half obscured.
It means I am often delayed trying
to drag the window central, as
grabbing the top bar is difficult.
Grabbing this help session bar was
almost impossible
for example its so thin.
How do I get Firefox to load central screen every time automatically in
Windows 7 please.

Window sizes and positions are stored in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]. 
 
Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted. 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf 
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder) 
 
Note: 
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults. 
You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it. 
Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.

Changing default loading screen

By default, Flex displays the Loading progress bar while it
initializes an application. Does anyone know how to customize this
loading screen... Any examples would be helpful.

How to overide applet 's default loading screen?

You know what i am talking about. When we click on applet.html and applet gets launch in the browser. It's gives you kind of sun light rotating clockwise. Any one has any idea how we can overide this scree with our custom screen like ... .Please wait.. or something else..
thanks in advance

very nice! but unfortunately, new version of java 1.6 JRE is just stand still. Means it does not give a clue to the visitor is something is going on behind the scene(JRE is being loaded). like old jre(1.5) still gives you some activeties going on .. but 1.6 JRE eliminates that.. i hope u understand me from user point of view... so i was wondering why java decided to have this as bad JRE loading mechanism....
I am also wandering how java overide their own java applets on their websites such as games etc. etc..
Thanks in advance

Default tile screen position is not using the full...

I only noticed this yesterday and its not playing well with my OCD. See http://nokiamobileblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/nokia-lumia-two-600x398.jpg for an example of what I'm seeing. Scroll (or press windows button) to get to the top of the tiles and the text on the bottom two tiles is cropped off the bottom of the screen, yet when you scroll slightly down you'll discover that you can easily fit all 8 tiles on the screen (and part of the 9/10th tiles). Is this just something Windows phones do to give an equal black border across the top and right hand side of the tiles?

Yeah I've noticed the same..... It's annoying, well kind of.... Just afew mm up and my OCD would be fine.... I keep on pulling the screen down a abit....

How can I get Firefox 3.6 to startup and load at a particular screen position - using cmd-line or other, in a Solaris SPARC/UNIX env? The xterm program uses the -geometry args as a manner of specifying position on the screen.

I am running Firefox 3.6 - on Solaris 10 SPARC env.
I am using the X11 - TWM(X-windows Manager). I have tried to alter the .twmrc files for the WM, but I need firefox to declare the position in the client program, else the TWM will force me to place it every time. When I use the xterm with the "-geometry" I can specify the position the xterm is opened and positioned there automatically. I have tried using the Xresource configuration settings(maybe I am doing something wrong here), but the X-server ignores it... so I believe that only firefox app can manage the positioning?
I am out of ideas, I suppose the next step is to question the source... Any ideas of how I can achieve this auto positioning in TWM. (I have been looking into X-events to manage the placement, but this is messy)

The version of Apache that comes default with Solaris might not be compiled for that I am not positive though. I downloaded and compiled Apach 2 and compiled mod_ssl and got it working with no problems you might want to try that.

Angry Birds Friends on Facebook will not load in Firefox, just white screen. Will load using Chrome, etc? Checked for malware, cleared cache, re-installed Firefox, disabled add ons, enabled java, updated flash and shockwave, etc.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

White Screen after Default loading image

I am getting a white screen for about two seconds between the Default.png loading image and the app main screen in my Flex app on my iPhone 4. Is there any way to tighten that up a little or get rid of it entirely?

Its probably just lagging while it loads your content. You can toss on a simple loading screen and that can hold the user over while the rest of the content is loaded. Also the beauty of flash and I assume flex is that you can use layers so you can have your content load and build underneath the loading screen and then simply reveal it.

Tough without the Tiger Disk problems, but try fsck...
To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup. Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
(SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found: 
The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK  If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****   Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.

Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

[Resolved] Stuck on "Grub Loading" Screen.

Hello everyone!
I have been attempting to set up a dual boot Windows 8/Arch Linux system.
I have installed Windows 8 and Arch Linux, and I have correctly set up and configured Grub.
I have been having a very puzzling problem however, which stems from my BIOS settings.
Whenever I set my boot sequence to "Hard Disk, CDROM" and attempt to boot, my system hangs on the "Grub Loading" screen indefinitely.
However, when I set the boot sequence to "CDROM, Hard Disk", the system goes to the "Loading Operating System ..." screen, scans the CDROM for bootable partitions, fails to find them (Presumably. No actual error message it outputted), then successfully loads Grub.
I have searched the web and the wiki for an answer, but because all of my queries are interpreted as changing the boot order of the OSes listed in Grub, I have been unable to find an answer.
While this is not a critical problem, I wish to have it configured as "Hard Disk, CDROM" because otherwise it adds about 10-15 seconds to the boot time as it has to scan the CDROM before proceeding.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
ADDITIONAL INFO:
I am using AHCI, with three hard drives. Both operating systems are installed to the first one (an SSD), with:
/dev/sda1 - SYSTEM_RESERVED
/dev/sda2 - Windows 8
/dev/sda3 - /boot
/dev/sda4 - Extended partition (following partitions belong to /dev/sda4)
/dev/sda5 - /
/dev/sda6 - /var
/dev/sda7 - /home
The other two hard drives simply store data.

Sorry for not including grub-related information. I just thought that it wouldn't be needed considering grub works fine (sees Arch and Windows 8) when the bios boot order is correct, and within VirtualBox (Win 8 host, Arch guest) it also works fine.

How can I make firefox work wisth a windows xp computer? I don't have an address bar , a backup key. I can get away from the firefox add-on screen. It is basically inoperable

After installing the new version of Firefox on an Windows xp computer I cannot use the internet. There is no address bar for entering a URL, there's not back up arrow, I can't get away from the Firefox add-on screne.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

Black Screen with Subsequents Kernel Panics at Gray Loading Screen

I remember seeing a few threads about the Mac Pro and the legacy 8800gt. Most of the problems seemed to pop around 10.5.7. However, I just recently ran into a problem running 10.5.6. And I'm almost certain it's the graphics card, since it can't get out of the gray Apple OS loading screening before it panics.
Once I dig out the stock graphics card from the closet. I can at least verify that system still works. Please feel free to comment if you have any insight.
System: 2006 Mac Pro: 2.66ghz dual core, 4gb ram, Nvidia 8800gt 512mb
Situation: This morning in Stormwind while at bank. I was running full screen mode at the time. Firefox was on in the background.
Problem: Screen went black but monitor said signal was still being sent. I waited 30 seconds to see if it corrected it self and tried to window mode as well. Upon hard shut-down and restart, the kernel panic appears during the gray apple screen with the wheel loading. All subsequent kernel panics followed this behavior.
What I tried:
I first tried resetting the PRAM. Received kernel panic.
Tried booting in safe mode. Received kernel panic.
Tried loading from install disk. Kernel panic.
After backing up in Target Disk Mode, I retrieved 1 log from Mac Pro. See below for contents.

After reinserting the stock 7300 GT, everything appears normal. I definitely believe the graphics card is shot.
It makes me wonder since World of Warcraft was the only graphic intensive program I ran why this would fail. I mainly focus on audio production and haven't had any problems in Digital Performer.

How to change the page that opens with a new tab to the default thumbnail screen?

Some nefarious add-on appeared, so I deleted it. But I'm still left with it's search engine as my new tab page, instead of the default page with the thumbnails, which I infact really like.
This has happened before, and I don't know how to get rid of it without resetting Firefox and losing all of my bookmarks (I know I can back them up), cache and other shizzle.
So, how do I restore my new tab page to default?

your search preferences and home page to their default values,
and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar
searches, and the home page. 
*2 
Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to; about:home (Firefox default home page), 
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), 
about:blank (a blank page), 
or you can enter any web page you want. 
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

After several years of use very satisfied with Firefox, recently loaded version (4.0.1) severely slows my browsing, and even my system, especially when there are pictures or videos. I said that this was not the case before and my system is Windows XP SP3.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Hi, my firefox wont load websites but other browsers like internet explorer , chrome can . This problem occurs when i use my company's router ?

my company have two internet connection ; 1 is dsl connection , firefox working fine on it ; 2 is my company's own cisco 2911 cisco router with internet connection , firefox wont loading pages except just the homepage of google.com and that's it , and the problem is that whole company is using company's internet connection which means that firefox is death for all of us.
Reseting firefox works but just for one day and after that it stuck again. also tried other solutions like malware removal , re installing firefox etc but not worked
Thanks for any kind of solution

thanks alot for your quick reply fredmcd
i have searched alot on the internet and got the solution , it was a thread known as "l.yimg.com". every time i open a website ,it stucks in "transferring data from l.yimg.com" , so what i did is;
1) End the process "random.exe" from task manager
2) Delete all the history and cookies of the infected browser.
3) Opened Registry Editor and delete these malicious entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ L.yimg.com
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\L.yimg.com \DisplayName L.yimg.com
HKEY_USER\.default\environment\temp
HKEY_USER\s-1-5-18\environment\temp
HKEY_USER\ s-1-5-19\environment\temp and so on
4) Search those malicious files on your hard disk and completely delete all of its components.
%AllUsersProfile%\{random}
%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\.dll
it really worked for me , if anyone have the same problem then try it , hopefully it will work for you too.
