FF4b7's window gradually 'blacks out' so to speak when running Flash objects.

The window's elements may turn black immediately upon playing, say, a YouTube video. They may also black out when hovering over items like buttons in a toolbar (after Flash has started usually). Happens often.

The only way to fix it is to close the browser. I was able to click the close button in the title bar to do this, even though it had already turned black.

Hi systemBuilder, you are not alone in your frustration. The problem is the plugin model: plugins are allowed to do much more than they can be trusted to do intelligently. Without a change to that, Firefox cannot stop the Flash player from changing window focus.

    When I open FF there is no text displaying(menus, content, etc.), and most of the window is blacked out. For example... I can see the the firefox button on the top left corner, when I go to it the drop down list drops and there is no text, if I move down the drop down I hit where there is a slide out in that drop down and no text is there. So, to start in safe mode you need to go to the firefox button, and click on start in safe mode. I can't See safe mode or click on anything were safe mode should be.

    hello, close all firefox windows & hold the shift-key while opening firefox in order to launch it in safemode. in the first dialog just choose "continue in safemode" and go to firefox > options > advanced > general. in there disable hardware acceleration, restart firefox normally again and see if this has changed anything.

    Have you tried Firefox Safe Mode to see if an Add-on is causing your problem?
    #Use Firefox Safe Mode to find a problem with an Extension or Plugin:
    #*Don't check anything when entering Safe Mode, just continue
    #*If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode it is probably and Extension or Plugin causing the problem

  • The "Next" button is grayed out on quiz slides when running in HTML 5 Chrome browser and iPad

    Hi,
    Has anyone run into this problem for Captivate 8? The "Next" button is grayed out on quiz slides when running in HTML 5 Chrome browser and iPad. The Next button shows in IE/Flash mode.
    Thanks in advance for providing your help!
    Zhuoran.

    Thank you Rod.... I changed the option to "Required - User must take the quiz to continue." Now the next is working .
    Thank you for pointing the right direction. But one quick question.. will the above setting affect my assessment? I have set the pass percentage to 100%...
    My next question - I have a open course menu (TOC). If the learner clicks the Knowledge check page, the knowledge check page is visible, but if you click any other page from knowledge check, it is not going...... by default, it takes to the next page. From that page, you can click any other page... IS this also related to the above option .. pls let me know..

  • I have a problem with FF 4.0b8 and Adobe Flash player where portions of the YouTube page or FF window will black out when I move my curser over buttons or tabs, etc. Any suggestions?

    I'm running FF 4 Beta 8 with the latest Flash player (10.1.102.64). When I play YouTube videos, the video is loaded, starts, and plays okay, but when I move my cursor around within the Firefox window, portions of the window black out under where the cursor travels. FF tabs and buttons will black out, or parts of the YouTube page (but not the video). CTL-ALT-Del to bring up Windows Security Panel, then CANCEL will restore the Firefox window, plus the YouTube page correctly (ie black is gone and window has been redrawn correctly). I can open up new tabs and replicate the problem multiple times. I've also experienced this problem with embedded YouTube videos (though it's easiest to replicate the problem direct from the YouTube page.) I don't experience this problem at all with FF 4 Beta 8 in Safe Mode, nor the latest FF 3.x.x. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Flash plug-in. Anyone have any ideas?

    Problem involving videos played from the YouTube site is much less noticeable after upgrading from FF 4.0b8 to 4.0b9, but still occurs with embedded YouTube videos, where blacking out of other portions of the window still happens.

  • Firefox, most of window is blacked out, menues area is transparent, menus not visible. Website is loading behind blackout. Complete uninstall has been tried.

    The problem started after doing a Windows 7 disk cleanup. When I open Firefox the screen where the body of the website is is blacked out and the menu bars are not visible. I can tell Firefox and websites are loading because I can guess where address bar is and type website and when I hover over address bar it will read name of website. Also, when I open a Firefox icon that had been saved to my desktop of a youtube link, the video will play visibly in Firefox, but the rest of the screen will be blacked out.
    I have tried a full uninstall and installation [including deletion of registries and all that]. All windows for Firefox, including the one that asks to make it default browser, profile maneger, etc. show up blacked out, so I can't try to make new profiles and all that. I even restored my computer to earlier point. Please help. I'm posting this message from Internet Explorer.

    hello kuzicharm, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • Imported XDCAM footage "blacks out" on timeline and when exported, which will not do.

    We're having a "horrendous problem" importing XDCAM. About half the clips "black out" while playing on the sequence timeline, although the associated sound files play fine. BTW the clips that black out always do so in the same place in the clip.
    A first I thought the camera operator might have been covering the lens, but we can convert the MXF video to mp4 using Pavtube and video plays the entire length of the clip.
    This problem happens in CS5, CS5.5, and CS6. It happens when we Import through using the Media Tool or the other way (whatever that's called).
    When we EXPORT from the sequence the blackout occurs most of the time, although every once in a while the exported clip wll play in its entirety.
    We have several hundred clips we need to use and the workaround is very cumbersome and time consuming, so we'd really like to solve the import problem so imported XDCAM clips work properly on the timeline.
    To view the problem click below.
    This encode plays the entire clip.
    http://youtu.be/5ylb3ak1W5I
    This encode made immediately after the one above blacks out
    http://youtu.be/nlr7sV6kyQs
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how to fix it?

    Well...
    The problem has been solved in a way that indicates that the problem should never have occurred.
    We finally were able to borrow a XDCAM disc reader and the people we borrowed it from also incidentally provided a bit of software called "XDCAM Transfer". THAT software solved the problem.
    I have spent many many hours reading on the Sony website, the Adobe website, and any other website I could find (next to my desk I have a 6" stack of printouts that I've read) and nowhere did I see this piece of software mentioned.
    Once that software was installed it imported everything, even the files we already had on the local HDD.
    Thanks everyone for all the attempts.

  • Why does sound only come out of 1 speaker when I dock my iPod?

    My son's Ipod only plays sound out of I speaker. When I dock the ipod on his ihome radio or my sony radio, sound only comes out of the left speaker. When I put other ipods on the same docks i get sound out of both speakers. It is just this one ipod that won't produce sound out of both speakers, no matter what docking station I use.

    Likely it is a hardware issue for the iPod, you need to bring it for service

  • Page window blacks out for a moment when clicking on links?

    So I was working on a layout/theme for my tumblr, changing css and stuff around, when about an hour ago, whenever I clicked on a link on the site, the window would go black for a second. The page would then load normally.
    This isn't happening in Safari, another browser I use frequently, but I'd really like to know what's going on.
    I didn't adjust much in terms of coding, just tables and stuff, so the coding shouldn't be an issue.

    First, even if Google could manage to infect your machine with malware of some kind, why do you think they would care one bit about your letter? I'm sure they get thousands of angry letters per day. I doubt they even read them all.
    As for the issue, that's probably actually caused by Glims. You say you have installed it to keep ads to a minimum, but the latest version of Glims includes its own ads by default, and has been known to malfunction exactly as you describe. I would recommend removing it. Use the Glims uninstaller.

  • Playback menu blacked out on web pages when viewed with a PC

    I created my web page on my Mac, then published it. It looks fine on my Mac, but when I view my site on a PC, the video page doesn't have the playback buttons visible under the movies. Anyone know how I can fix this so that my friends and family can see the play and stop buttons?

    If you are going to load stuff as QuickTime you need to offer the download for PC users that don't have it.
    http://roddymckay.com/VisualMedia/QuickTime.html
    This will only work for those that really want to see your movie.
    Another way is to put the movie in an iFrame which calls up the QT plugin....
    http://roddymckay.com/VisualMedia/QuickTimeiFrame.html
    You need to adjust the frame size to fit the movie and then add about 17px to the height to show the control bar.

  • LV2012 Out of Memory Bug when Clearing Compiled Object Cache

    Here is some LV2012 weird behaviour when clearing the compiled cache and having a project with source code separated from the binaries.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open a VI in a fairly large LV project
    2. With the VI open, clear the compiled cache:
    3. Close the VI.
    4. Open the VI
    5. Watch the broken arrow and the LV Out of Memory bogus.

    Roger,
    i tracked down the issue to "ExecutionBenchmark1.lvclass:Load Core.vi" and "ExecutionBenchmark2.lvclass:Load Core.vi". If removing both VIs from the main, it is compilable.
    Since those VIs have their blockdiagram removed, they have to include their compilation in order to be executable. I expect this to be the source of the issue.
    Can you please check if using the default VI "Load Core" for both classes work as long as LV is able to recompile those while creating the object file for the main?
    thanks,
    Norbert
    Yep, still reproducible on my 32 bit Windows 7 home machine. Attached is the fixed code.
    Also, my suspicion was right. If you try to save a project in a out of memory condition, the saved project will always display an out of memory error due to a missing block diagram.

  • Opening iTunes64Setup.exe on my Windows 7 64-bit system does nothing when running as normal or administrator user. Nothing means no error messages - just nothing.

    I'm trying to install iTunes64Setup.exe (10.7.0.21) version on my Windows 7 system and nothing happens with I try to run the exe. If I run as admin, I get the UAC dialog andclick ok - and nothing happens after that. When I downloaded the exe, I went to the Properties for the setup file and clicked the Unblock button so to get around some of the other issues that people reported - no luck running. I tried running Microsoft FixIt for installation issues - http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/ and no luck after that. In all cases, I try to open it - the mouse cursor spins for less than a second - and nothing happens. I don't see any processes running in Task Manager. I've also tried manually starting the Windows Modular Installer and then running setup. I've tried downloading the exe from another computer to see if it was a bad download and both files do the same thing. The size of the downloaded file is 76.7 MB (80,521,624 bytes). I was able to run the same exe from my other computer running Windows 7 64-bit OS.
    Help!

    ok - I setup with a clean boot using msconfig.exe as suggested and disabled all the Microsoft Services and unchecked the Load Startup items, accepted the changes and rebooted. I then tried running the itunes64setup.exe again, and this time - there was a very slight change in behavior - a thin dialog - what looked like a progress indicated displayed on my main display for about .5 sec and then went away - no text in the box. I ran setup again - this time from a USB stick - the little progress indicator stayed up on the screen for about 1.5 sec and I could see a grren bar on the left grow about 1/10th into the progress bar until in disapperared and nothing else happened. What's next?
    Thanks,

  • I just purchased a 6  and there is a static sound coming out of the speaker when it is idle. I have the sound on low and turned off and it still makes the static sound.

    I just purchased a 128 Gig iPhone 6+. When I have the sound off and volume as low as possible, I get a static sound coming out of the speakers. It is distracting and annoying when I am in meetings, etc. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance.

    Couple of things you can try but it looks like you may have to take it in
    1. Settings --> Cellular --> Change "Enable LTE" to just "Data" if available
    2. Toggle your ringer off and on
    3. Settings --> General --> Accessibility --> Toggle Noise reduction off and on
    If none of the above works - consider taking it to Apple
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
