Colored rectangles all over page when firefox is maximized

when I have firefox maximized, blue-green, red, and black rectangular blocks appear all over the page...I know it's not my monitor, it's cable, or my graphics card...all have been tested...when I uninstalled firefox and used ie, the issue did not exist...I just now reinstalled firefox with no add-ons, and the problem immediately returns...I really prefer using firefox but this display issue is troublesome

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
* Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? I assume those black lines are around photos or objects that have had a frame or drop shadow added to it, right? If so that's a known issue.
There's a workaround for that in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File. That should get rid of those black lines/boxes.

Clicking on a link does not open firefox and take me to the page when firefox is my default browser but does when Internet Explorer is my default browser, what is wrong?

All of a sudden (I think after the last firefox update) links in other web pages won't open firefox to access the page when firefox is my default browser but works when I change my default browser to Internet Explorer and I can't figure out why. Help!!!

This problem just arose for me today. Very frustrating. Tried all of the suggestions here without success. Then a very simple solution came to me:
UNINSTALL CHROME. I haven't used Chrome for a long while anyway since it seems to have chronic problems of one sort or another. Firefox does 95% of what I need, and Internet Explorer can handle the other 5%.
After uninstalling Chrome I clicked a mailto link. It asked me what program to use and did not list Firefox as an option for some reason. In the Tools menu, I chose "Options" and went to the "Applications" tab. Searched for "mailto". There was a single entry - when Chrome was installed it gave me no options to switch. After uninstalling Chrome I was able to change that. It still did not list Firefox, but it did list "Gmail". Selecting that causes my Gmail to open in Firefox.
I have no idea whether Google or Microsoft is responsible for this, but I'm inclined to give the hairy eyeball to Google for this one. It's the sort of stunt they'd pull on Microsoft, then pretend it was just a mistake. Just one guy's opinion, of course.

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download. Is there a way to save my tabs ?

I usually have 3-4 tabs open which I am saving to read later. But I loose them all the time when firefox crashes or when another appliaction opens firefox to download something and it will discard all my tabs. This is incredibly annoying, is there a way to save my tabs ? or get them back when there is no "restore session" button ?

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

Black lines all over page

When set a document in my printer to copy or print it prints out the page FULL of black lines all over the paper. The only way I can get the page to copy so I can read it is to scan the document, save it on my desk top, then print off of my desk top, Thats the only time that the page is not covered by black lines.
How do I fix this?

After down load there are add all over the place, firefox is unusable.

my firefox got invaded by triviot or something like that so i uninstalled it and then downloaded it fresh. the download had more problems 1. wes is in the search box under fireball opening screen. now this is in the line where the site you are using goes. " http://lp.getfree-soft.net/mpc________/?o=42&campid=14406&creaid=5552&reqid=535945901" different adds are popping up all over the screen its a mess...

Could you:
(1) Visit the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program and click the "Installed on" column heading to group by date. I suspect you will find unwanted and probably undisclosed bundle items (AKA garbage) that snuck in with some free software. Remove what you can.
(2) Scan using some of the effective free cleanup programs listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Note: don't remove places.sqlite or bookmarks-2014....json files that the cleaning programs may recognize as having history or bookmarks of bad sites because this could clear all your bookmarks.
(3) Start Firefox back up again and check for any lingering problem extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then you can disable all nonessential or unrecognized extensions.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
(4) Finally, to reset your home page, search service, and new tab page to their defaults, you can use this one-click solution: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/]. If you prefer to do that by hand, we can post the steps.
Does that flush the ads?

Page -1 of 1 printed on all the pages when report is exported as txt

We developed all the reports in Crystal Report XI.
When we export the reports in pdf or word doc the page no at page footer is printed correctly, but wen we export the report in as txt file the "Page -1 of 1" printed on all the pages, is there any issue on Crystal Report regarding this.
Please provide me the solution for this.

Hi,
This is a known issue with crystal report which has been identified earlier, can you verify by printing page number in your report or export the report to a word document and verify whether it prints properly.

When I open Firefox it does not go to my home page even though my setting are set to go to home page when Firefox is opened

I have repeatedly checked my settings for Firefox to go to my home page when opened. Instead it opens my last pages opened. I have the most current version of Firefox. This has been going on for about a week.

HP Laserjet Pro 200 color MFP skipping even pages when scanning

my scanner skips ever other page when scanning. noticed other posts regarding a different model and wondering if there is a fix out there for the Laserjet Pro 200 MFP??? Please and Thank you!!

Hi jbogda,
I see by your post that the printer skips every other page when scanning. I can help you.
Do you have the Laserjet Pro M276 printer?
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I believe that you are scanning from the ADF, multiple pages and the feeder isn't pulling in the pages properly. Please clarify if I am incorrect.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
'Document feeder mispick' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the ADF Does Not Pick Up Paper o... Disregard the title.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Color covering the whole pager when printing

My color laserjet 4600dn, the Magenta color cover the whole paper when printing, and some yellow color spots on the paper too. Is something wrong with the transfer belt? Please help!

Also, the best way to do this is not to adjust the black and white levels but to adjust the opacity of the image. You will need to make the background layer into a regular layer (double click it in the layers palette and say yes to the dialogs), then use the opacity slider to lighten it.
Or alternatively you could add multiply layers till you reach the required lightness, then flatten the image.

I can set my default home page (when Firefox starts) but if I open subsequent tabs I get a blank page. How do I set my default home page for all tabs.

I set my default home page to AltaVista.com. This page comes up as expected when I start Firefox. However if I open a new tab I get a blank page. How to I setup Firefox to use my default web page for all subsequent tabs. This was an easy process in IE

Sounds like you want the New Tab Homage extension.

Just downloaded FF 4 beta 1 and... what the hell am I looking at? What are all these multi-colored buttons all over the top of my screen?

What is this? I just downloaded FF 4 beta 1, and I make figure out what all of this at the top of my screen is for. I wish I could send you a screen shot! The actual window is cut in half...what the hell?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== As soon as it was downloaded and installed

That's Page Saver, and it's great for taking a snap shot of a webpage. It doesn't capture any of the browser tool bars and such, though, and that's where my problem is. I've got a great splat of toolbar and many many many colored buttons and other random things eating up the top four or more inches of the screen when I open FF4b1, and I can't get rid of it. A screen capture shows the problem well, but something made with Page Saver only shows the web content and none of the browser.
This is turning out to be far more trouble than it's worth.

Why will Safari not play MP3s embedded in my iWeb pages when Firefox can?

One would have thought that if iWeb was going to get picky over the scenarios in which it would behave correctly, it would favour Apple-centric enviroments. But this doesn't appear to be the case when building an iWeb site with embedded MP3 files.
The published site behaves perfectly when viewed in Firefox and yes, even IE's latest incarnation. Files may take a while to download but they play when the download has finished. Safari is a different story. The MP3 files embedded in some pages simply will not play when viewed with Safari.
This page in particular has never worked in Safari -
http://www.whisperycat.co.uk/version_5/sounds/Entries/2011/3/23_Promenade.html
A small blue questionmark appears instead of the 'Play' button.
Any workarounds or is it just the case that Safari and iWeb are incompatible on this fundamental point???

Well it looks as though I answered my own question. A Google search revelas that Safari has had over 2 years' history of reported problems with the mp3 format -
http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=safari+wont+play+mp3&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=nkulT9_wA82g8gOPj8ntBA
- and the solution is... STOP USING MP3 FILES
Yes, mp3 format is out, mp4 format is in. SO I'll need to upload MP4 versions of my audio files and then retry.

Color Bars all over my Studio Display Occuring steady

Just turned on the computer, and my screen is full of different colored vertical bars, and weird tings everywhere. Did several restarts, no changes? All has been fine until this???
I have not installed any new hardware or software lately.
Help needed please. Thanks for all suggestions.
I'm a G5 1.8 Dual OS10.4.6
It appears that the desktop is on screen, but very difficult to be usuable except the pull down menus are slightly visable. I did try a restart holding the shift key down...but the same mess came up only without the desktop behind the bars..think it was the log on page.

I too have an Apple 21" Studio Display. I love it as it is very accurate for print based graphic design.
I also get the weird color bars. Used to work fine on my G4, but on my G5 dual 2g I get the weirdness. Could be the VGA to DVI deal.
I remedy this by going to the display preferences and changing the resolution to another setting. That clears the mess and then I change it back.
Simple and quick! Other than that I have no perminant answer.

Letters are missing and yellow tringle all over page

After updating to Firefox 8.0, at many websites yellow triangle are seen, they change there place as a move my mouse pointer.
Also at many webpages letters are not totally visible, when I take my mouse pointer there, only then it become visible.
I checked on Google Chrome, but there is no such problem seen.
I have taken few screen shots, may be they help.

Double check you're only testing on a workstation with Acrobat Standard
or Pro 8.1.2 since I was under the impression this problem was now
sorted with subsetted fonts.
Also make sure all PDFs you're testing have been created with Acrobat
and not PDF clone as such (File/Properties/PDF Producer) ..
