Blue Screen in Firefox 6 (same problem since Firefox 4!)

Don't know why this is happening at all, and it's been happening since Firefox 4, I submitted a problem then, too, and got zero help, but hey, maybe this time, right?
There is nothing special going on when I get the Blue Screen. This one occurred when Firefox was the only program running, I had about 6 tabs up (nothing major, I've had 20+ open without problems before version 4 came along). Basically, I'll be happily surfing away, I'll go to click on a different tab and my PC will freeze and I'll get the Blue Screen. The error message in the BSoD says something like "attempt to reset the display adapter has failed"...same problem I had with FF4.
Since the crash happens before Firefox can recognize it, I have no Firefox generated crash report (it's Blue Screened before it can create one, I guess) but I DO have the windows "there was a problem shutting down dialog" pasted here:

Any help would be superb. I'm just decided to give Firefox another chance when I heard 6 rolled out, since I completely skipped over 5 due to the problems I had with 4 I figured maybe they'd fixed the problem. Guess not. Until then, viva la Google Chrome, I guess. I'd prefer Firefox, but it doesn't seem like they want me using their product...
(Oh, before someone recommends I disable Flash like they did last time I submitted this problem, it doesn't matter. I get the blue screen whether the Flash plugin is turned on or not...so it's not "ATI's problem with Flash", before someone gives me THAT reason again...)

Sorry about the crash, and thanks for reporting it. This crash looks like it might be related to hardware-accelerated graphics. Try opening the "Advanced" section of the Firefox options window, and turn off the "Use hardware acceleration" option (under "Browsing" on the General tab). Then please let us know if you still have any problems.

I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file down

Hej!
I've switched from Google to Firefox because I was so tired of Google crashed all the time. Now I have the same problem with Firefox, Bank id, file downloading, accessing Web pages, none of it works. What is the error?
Ronnie.

When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment and displays the Mozilla Crash Reporter. Are you seeing that, or is Firefox just freezing and you're killing it?
Assuming you have crashes, you can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" (especially the last section) for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
If that's not possible, have you tried Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot?

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot? I would like to replace a green screen with one image, and a blue screen with another.

Fox gives a good example for keying green & blue (or any other color) from the same shot. I'd suggest doing a few things to get better accuracy.
First, the motion keyer always removes the color it detects the most of by default (blue/green). You can override this by setting the Strength parameter to zero, then use the Color sample tool to select the color you want. The advantage is motion will do a good job of targeting only the hue (color) that you want to remove and set an appropriate starting softness. It also will remove spill based on this color. Looking at Fox's example movie and the shot, I'd approach the same shot this way:
Remove the Blue
1. Apply the keyer and set the strength to zero.
2. Use the Sample Color tool and select the blue (or other color) to be removed.
3. Decrease the spill level (if needed). In Fox's example the spill from the blue glasses is going to be minimal, especially compared to the green screen, your shot may need different adjustments. Only de-spilling what you need to will give you more accurate color right away and minimize additional color correction that might be needed later.
4. Use the Color selection tools (Chroma wheel/Luma bar) to fine tune. Ideally you want a minimal tolerance, the inner selection, with a nice fall off, the outer selection. Try with the Scrub boxes setting first, then switch to manual if you need more control. Again see Fox's example.
Remove Green
It's the same as the blue, you could apply the keyed to the same clip or a parent group, at this point it's many user preference.
With these techniques you can remove any color from a shot or create a mask based on a color. BTW, as you are learning to use the keyer I'd highly recommend having the Color Selection open so you can see the graphs. These give you real time feedback as you make selections and changes with the Strength, Refine and Color selection tools. Watch what happens as you make selection or changes, sometimes the problem area is actually in the brightness not the color, or the softness may change more than the tolerance selection. Observing what is happening in these graphs will help you figure out wha to change and speed things up.

8Gb Touch 2nd gen problem. Only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem

I have an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd gen and it's only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem.
Any idea what I can do to fix this?

you can connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode:
Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device
and restore it to default settings, in order to remove your password (or just remove your password directly from the iPod touch, in order to sync with iTunes)

Not sure it is Firefox all together but, recently I can see a blue screen for 1-2 seconds before Firefox loads the homepage.. I tried to capture via picture but it is too fast.

When starting Firefox 7.0.1 before Firefox can load home screen a blue screen appears for 1-2 seconds then the home screen is loaded. This happens every time I enter Firefox.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

I have the same problem again, firefox not displaying yahoo main page properly

I had this same problem about two months ago and someone on here told me what to do. Unfortunately I did not write it down so I don't remember. I've tried, tools-options - advance - general - unchecked use hardware acceleration when available...it did not work. Yahoo main page looks perfect on IE, on Firefox it's a mess. Someone please help.

This is what you can do and it will work. I found the info I had used the last time I had the same problem.
"Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:"
Click the menu button New Fx Menu , choose History, and then Clear Recent History....
Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
Now click the Clear now button.

When trying to save page in Yahoo! Bookmarks, I receive blue screen with message:A problem occured while trying to save bookmark. Please try again later. I get the same message every time.

When I click on Yahoo Bookmark Icon & click on Save this page,
I get the normal screen Save To My Bookmarks, etc. I fill out as
normally & click save. That is when I receive blue screen with above message. Frustrating because it lets me go through the process but then will not save. Is this a cookie or privacy issue??

At the top of yahoo bookmarks there is a message:
To Yahoo! Bookmarks users:
Yahoo! Bookmarks is transitioning and will be exclusively available via Yahoo! Toolbar. During this transition, you will be able to access your bookmarks in read-only mode.We expect the transition to be fully complete by October 20, 2011, after which you will have access to your bookmarks with the ability to add/ edit/ delete bookmarks.
Please download Yahoo! Toolbar for a full bookmarks service. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience during this period.
But the toolbar dosn't work either, even after it is updated, so we may just have to wait.
Hope this helps :)

HP Pavillion HPE H8-1270 - Blue Screen on Start Up Problem.. Help Please!

I don't often turn my pc off, as I know they don't like it BUT today I did & to my horror, when I turned back on I got the dreaded Blue Screen! Driver light is non responsive, won't read a disc, can't F11 to Safe Mode.. NIGHTMARE! I use Acronis as a Back Up (as well as external drive) but can't even get to that! Had no previous warning that there were any errors etc so really don't know what has happened or what the problem could be. Maybe Hard Drive failure? Even if the **bleep** thing decides to come on, I will be worried that this will happen again! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...

I am having nothing but problems since Firefox upgraded.

Since I updated Firefox I am having so many issues. Lock-ups, messages such as URL not valid cannot load, etc. What happened. I am starting to use Internet Explorer again just to get past the issues.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I upgraded Firefox.

I reinstalled Firefox twice. It does absolutely nothing different. I still think this is a Firefox issue. Of course, there is no one to talk to at Firefox so getting a resolution is almost impossible. I am no longer able to keep my sign in information for my e-mails, the URL not valid message is still there. This is really crazy. I should never have allowed the update. I think they need to check out the new update. I am not the only one with this issue. Thanks for the info though.

There's an "updated.app" laying in Firefox package. Since firefox won't start and "updated.app" will, is it safe to replace firefox package with it?

After last update to last version, FF was running fine before a hardware restart.
Since then it won't start and profile manager either. No error message pops up and console window doesn't trace any event.
firefox package contents an "updated" package likely created by last update.
Will i loose my settings or run into any kind of problem by replacing firefox's package with the so called "updated" one?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

After adopting Firefox 19.0 as default browser, I experience numerous occurrences of Blue Screen errors with MS XP

Since I have installed Firefox 19.0 (first time installation and usage), my computer crashes several times a week: the Blue Screen Error comes up and I have to turn down my computer.
I've run all recommended system and disk checks. I also have Norton as anti-virus.
To my knowledge, Firefox is the only major modification I've made on my computer before the default started to occur.
It seems that other users have encountered similar problems with version 18 and reverting to version 17 (which I cannot do) seems to have solved their issues.
Occurences of Blue screen: when using Firefox, or while screen saver on, or etc.
Have you got reported issues of compatibility between Firefox 19 and MS XP when IE was the former internet browser?
What steps do you suggest I make?

Blue screens can't be caused by Firefox, it is what is called a userspace program, which means it can't access the kernalspace, which is what causes bluescreens. There may be something else wrong with your computer:
Check for Windows updates
Scan for malware [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
Run chkdsk
etc.

When I click on a link that opens in a new window, it takes an unusual long time to open. (16-20 seconds). Same with opening Firefox when I turn on my laptop.

Once it's open, it works fine. I can move around the document or page without any issue, it's just opening. This does not happen when it opens a new tab. Only when it opens a new pop up page. Same with opening Firefox in the morning. I did the same process in IE, and did not have the same problem.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Also make sure that your security software is blocking (pop-up) windows.

Very Strange Rendition of the "Blue Screen" Problems

So I'm familiar with some of the blue screen freezes, but the problems that I am encountering are very very strange, so let me start:
Two computers are affected: a MacBook Pro and an Aluminum iMac. Both computers are running Leopard.
The MacBook Pro:
A few days ago, it crashed to the blue screen. Turned the machine off and powered it back on. The computer goes to the gray apple screen, then to the blue screen. Once at the blue screen, it does this: Blue screen for a few seconds -> progress indicator spins for a few seconds and disappears -> Mouse shows up for a few seconds and disappears -> Blue screen -> Progress indicator -> Mouse. It cycles like this indefinitely. I tried deleting the loginwindow preferences. I also tried deleting application enhancer preferences, no luck...
The iMac:
Started up fine. After a few minutes of not using the machine, it will go to the blue screen. Turn machine off and it starts again. Here's where it gets strange: If you start up with safe mode, the iMac exhibits the blue screen cycle on login that the MacBook Pro experiences. Without safemode, it started. So, I tried creating a new user account to see if it was user preferences, and up on doing that, now the iMac gets hung up on the blue screen login cycle just like the MacBook Pro with or without safe mode.
So... weird/misc. parts:
Two machines that have been running leopard for some time, no recent upgrades.
Problems starting happening at around the same time.
Computers linked on LAN and Time Capsule.
Both computers using MobileMe.
I'm stuck - any ideas?!?!

Some additional thoughts...
the MacBook Pro did not have automatic login and had the problems. The iMac did have automatic login and did not have the problems. When automatic login was disabled on the iMac, it did have the problems. When the iMac used safemode, which disables automatic login, it had the problems also.
So... clearly something with the login window is messed up... but I tried deleting the login window preferences with no avail. Not sure what this means, but interesting I suppose.
