Black screen in Firefox 3.6.13. Any way of opening pdf files?

With Adobe Reader X I'm unable to open pdf files in Firefox (or any other browser I've tried so far). I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times but I just get a completely black screen (grey in IE).
Anyone with a non-jargon filled answer for computer illiterates, please!

There are other things that need attention:
Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions. 
You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions
Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)
See http://www.java.com/en/download/help/quickstarter.xml - What is Java Quick Starter (JQS)? What is the benefit of running JQS? - 6.0

There are "container" apps emerging for the iPad. Enough searching & I suspect there would be one for your needs.

Is there any way to open .mts files in Qicktime and FCPX?

Is there any way to open .mts files on the Mac? I am reffering ti opening them in Quicktime and in FCPX. My camera costs a LOT, and I think it's ridiculous that I can't open these files. I can't even find a decent conversion tool to do it for me. Please help!

I just checked this link and it's looks like FCPX have no problem to open it.
http://www.fileinfo.com/extension/mts
.mts is also called AVCHD.
I also check FCPX Documentation here : http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0.6/#ver2833f855
And it say it can support AVCHD videos.
VLC also support it for watching the video and anyway Quicktime X is useless with many codecs.
Check again to import files in FCPX as i can't test i don't have any .mts files.
Hope this help.
You can read this also if you want to convert them : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1412182?start=15&tstart=0
I will say it's better to use Handbrake, anyway it's what i use.

Is there any way to open a file with a .msi extension on my new mac?

That's a Microsoft program which requires Windows. You could run on your Mac if you install Windows on it.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

When i loaded the latest version of firefox i was no longer able to open PDF files with Adobie.

I up graded to the new version of fire fox .05 and no longer have my PDF open. I use Adobie. On my lap top they open using 04.

You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

I cant download ibooks in my ipod 4thgeneration because it requires iOs 7 or later. is there any way to transfer pdf files to my ipod ?I CANT TRANSFER PDF PLEASE REPLY.thanks

is there any way to download ibooks for my ipod touch 4th generation?my iOs version is 5.1.1

Likely:
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
Are you sure you have a 4G iPod (has cameras)? You say you have iOS 5.1.1 and a 4G can go to iOS 6.1.5. A 3G (no cameras) can only go to 5.1.1.

I've been wondering about a feature that I ran into with a previous version of Firefox. Is there any way to open two separate windows in Firefox 4?

I ran into this when working in gaiaonline.com on Firefox 3.6, ''I believe it was .6. It could have been a later version. But it was 3 for sure''. I was signed into one profile on one window, and my sister was signed in to hers on a different window of Firefox at the same time. I was wondering if there was a way to achieve this on Firefox 4.

You can look this extension if you want to sign on with different identities at the same time:

Any way to transfer pdf files in folders (i.e. not individually) to the ipod touch?

just downloaded "fileapp" and disappointed to learn it can only do 1 file at a time...
is there an app like this that would allow me to transfer things within my hierarchy of folders? and one that would work on ipod touch?

I use GoodReader and DropBox. You can place items in a folder in DropBox on your computer. Then use GoodReader to download that DropBox folder.

I tried opening a pdf file and I set it to use always and firefox which did not work, I was wondering how to undo that and what I should use to open pdf files in the future?

I was attempting to open a document from a frequently used site, I had never been on, on my new mac however. I attempted to open the pdf file and was given the option of which program to use to open it, I mistakenly clicked use always and firefox as the program with which to open pdf files. I do not know how to undo this or what I should do in the future to access the pdf files.

Hi Melfour-
Here is a Support article detailing how to work with your Firefox PDF preferences:
[[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]
Hope that helps.

Apple IMac 27 has a problem. Random black screen. Over 1 year without any fix

Apple IMac 27 has a problem.
Random black screen.
Over 1 year without any successful fix.
IMac 27 10.8.4 (12E55) - bought in 2010
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1067 Mhz RAM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
The IMac computer screen goes black randomly but the machine still running beyond.
In order to go back to normal i need to awake the computer by hitting with the pointer a hot corner previously created " sleep mode" ( top left ).
..the black screen would come back after one second again..and then again and then again and then again..with different intervals..sometime 2 seconds after the other, sometime as soon as appears the user login screen.
I took the machine to an Apple Store two times over one year, they opened, cleaned it but they didn't replace anything has they could not understand what they real problem was. I was happy for that because they didn't try to make me spend money on something which was not going to solve my issue for sure.
Last time i kindly asked them to inspect everything meticulously, part by part, i left the machine with them for over 2 months. They couldn't understand why this was happening..after couple of weeks, 5 more machines came in with the same problem.
On some of them., upon request of the client they changed the graphic card but apparently this was not the fix, the problem come back again. Apparently changing the graphic card or the screen or else it didn't solve any problem to anyone. I'm almost thinking to "trough it out of the window"..we all spend money for this machines and i think we need to know if Apple is looking in to this or not.
Lately i tried to do an SMS RESET and PRAM RESET, it feels it got better a little but problem still coming back.
Also, all usb devices are disconnected and the problem still there
Below you will see a copy of the console report. I honestly don't understand much of it as i'm not a computer guy.

I'm now thinking to try to take the machine to its original firmware and see if it still does it, does anyone have any sugestion?
I use a lot photoshop and other image software, this computer is essential for my work. For more then one year this issue caused me problems.
Luckly i have a Macbook Pro too and i managed to do some of my work there. At last I was thinking to buy an external screen and attach it to the Macbook pro in order to work on my big images. But who wants to spend money again!!!???? This is not a fixture, this is silly. I wish to have my IMAc working again.
The warranty it's obviously over and this problem happened right after the warranty was over...
I write this post because i'm so tired of this issue and online nothing can be found apart from posts from so many people that have the same problem and no fixture has been found.
The only fixture seams to be to buy a new computer... Ole'!!!..new money flowing in in the cashier!! forget it!!! i would rather change company if apple doesn't respond to this.
For over 10 years i have been a Apple owner..
When this problem appears it's like someone it's playing a joke at you...
Comments welcome..
Thanks

Hi, I've seem to have found out the source of the problem.
The issue is related to heat, and an iMac 27" gets hot pretty fast.
If I boot the iMac straight after first start into Windows 7 I seem to get a lit built-in display at all times. I can also boot OS X first and then into Windows 7 and the built-in screen get lit every time as long as the iMac isn't hot.
Strange thing is that the monitor connected to the display port gets lit every time. So I can only assume that the heat only interfere with output to the built-in LED screen.
So this iMac is going to an Apple premium reseller for service, and I'll tell you guys how it went.

My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

Also, is there any way to save a group or an open session and then restore it later?

History menu, if it was destroyed in the last session
then use "Restore Previous session:" and then restore all windows also from the history menu.
If done in this session try the restore all windows under the history menu.
