Colors appearing on screen

I am seeing weird colors and spots on my screen sporadically, and it's even made it's way to my regular desktop when I right click. But the problem goes away entirely once Firefox is closed. When I see the weird colors or pixels around the browser, simply minimizing the browser screen and then maximizing it again makes the blotchy looking colors go away.
Here is a link to an image showing what the menu looks like that pops up when I right click on my desktop with Firefox running (sometimes, not all of the time). That goes away when I close the browser. And that color is the same color of pixels I will see in my browser, or small square blotches in various areas.
I'm not positive of this, but it would seem that this issue started within the past month, I think with one of the most recent updates to Firefox.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

  • When viewing the color blue on my iPad it appears greenhe correct color appears on my computer screen. Can this be resolved?

    When viewing the color blue on my iPad it appears greenhe correct color appears on my computer screen. Can this be resolved?

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
    If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new.
    And if none of that works, take it to an apple store or call apple support

    Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
    Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
    Please advise,???

  • Images seem to print much darker than they appear on screen?

    I have been using iPhoto to create cards and then I later save them as .pdf files so I can take them to another mac connected to an Epson 1400 printer and print them. Prior to making the cards in iPhoto, I do basic levels and auto color adjustments in Photoshop. Some of the cards that I am printing seem to be so much darker than the way they appear on screen. I understand that there is a differene between what is presented on a display and the way something may print, but the difference is so drastic. Is this something to do with iPhoto?
    Thanks.

    rick.pearl
    Because every maker of computer, software and printer have a different definition of the various colors Apple and others got together to agree definitions that would work together. So if you assign a color space to an image - sRGB, say - then any software or hardware that respect the color space will be using the same meaning for 'green' or 'blue'.
    In iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, check the box for Embed Color Sync Profile, and this will embed a profile on every pic you add from now on.
    As to the one's already in, Old Toad has kindly created an Automator action that will add an sRGB profile to pics already in iPhoto. You can downlaod it from here.

    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Last thing to try is quit the app and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit Safari by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Safari icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Vertical colors 'take over' screen--system freezes--need to reboot--fix?

    always had trouble with the screen going black and having to re-possition it.now these muti-colors appear ...logic board?
    thanks

    Yes, it sounds like you may be having logic board problems. You may know that enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from this problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and if the symptoms look familiar, give Apple a call. If your iBook qualifies, it's a free fix.
    If you are past the three-year time limit, try calling and asking for Customer Relations (NOT Customer Service--they can't help you) and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case.
    Good luck.

  • IPod wouldn't turn on, exclamation sign appeared on screen with  x (   face

    Dear staff,
    yet all of my questions have been answered and I could solve my
    problems. I learnt a lot about iTunes and iPods since I registered here and
    started reading forums for support.
    Yesterday, I left my iPod plugged in to my PC (windowds XP) for some hours,
    when I wanted to unplag it and use it, it was extremely hot. I saw that iPod
    wasnt correctly connected to my PC, I tried to turn it on, but some scary
    message appeared on the screen. The Apple logo first appeared on screen, but
    it wouldnt go white it just stayed in gray color and then it disappeared.
    The whole screen went white, and a little iPod with a sad face, something like
    this x( , and an exclamation sign next to it where in the middle of the screen.
    Beneaeth it, the support site adress was writen. (www.apple.com/support/ipod)
    I tried to connect iPod to PC, but the same thing happened, it wouldnt connect
    either to windows or iTunes. I have the latest version, (7.4 I think)
    but I dont know what to do. Please contact me, answer me as soon as you can.
    Regards,
    Alejandro Tame.

    Mine is doing the same plus if I do charge it the ipod gets really, really hot to the touch.

  • How to change the background color of a screen field

    For more clarification,

    Any hint...
    Thanks,

    hi

    So make ur fields to "I/O fields"

  • I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

    I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • HT1533 Ok so I have tried evey combination of restarts. It tries to boot up, the start up bar appears on screen, but the computer just goes completely after the bar is a third of the way across. Is is doomed?

    Ok so I have tried evey combination of restarts. It tries to boot up, the start up bar appears on screen, but the computer just goes completely after the bar is a third of the way across. Is is doomed?

    Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD and running Disk Utility to see if anything needs fixing on the HD. Restart holding down Command+r and once it hopefully boots select Disk Utility>Repair Disk. If anything gets fixed click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Try restarting as normal from the Apple menu once done.
    Do you have backup to restore from if it proves to be the Mac has a hardware fault?
