Firefox 4 RC2 seems to have a problem correctly displaying. Small to large black boxes appear all over it, and change places when I move my mouse. Sometimes the whole screen goes black. Never had that problem before.

I have never had this problem with the current version of Firefox. I uninstalled the RC2, because I couldn't see what was going on half the time.

It does work, and fixes other weirdness like issues on facebook. '''However '''you need to restart Firefox for it to take effect as simply reloading a page after changing the setting made no effect.

  • My MacBook Pro stated that it needed to be updated. I clicked yes to restart the computer and update but when it restarted it stays on the gray screen with the apple logo and then pops up, stating "unable to find driver for this platform." What do I do?

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • How can I play an audio file without the whole screen going black?

    When I play the mp3 file on IE it opens in a small screen so I can still see the web page.
    On Firefox the whole screen is taken up with the sound file being played.
    Can this be changed?

    Is that file played in a tab in the current window or in a separate pop-up window?
    Are you allowing pop-up to modify the window size (dom.disable_window_move_resize = false)?

  • Youtube video's seem to "freeze" the image while the audio continues playing. Never had that problem with Internet Explorer...how can I fix this?

    I used to use a different...server?...Internet Explorer. Before, when I used that, I could watch video's on youtube and they would run smoothly-image and sound in perfect sync. Now that I'm using Firefox per suggestion of a computer savvy friend, I can't watch youtube vid's in the same way. Most of the time, the audio will keep playing, but the image will stop. The only way I've discovered to prevent this is to be playing with the mouse on the side of the screen constantly. (which, when playing music video's for background while cooking dinner in the kitchen, it's rather impractical to be running back and forth to be playing with the mouse)
    I'm not a very computer savvy person. I'm using a laptop...it's an Acer...I think I have either Windows Vista or Windows 7...

    Thank you very much.
    I scanned my computer and see that it is not a virus problem. The problem lies with FoxNews.com not being compatible with the latest Flash Player or plug-in. I can view on-site videos from within Firefox on all sites except FoxNews. It is the only site that has a huge separating space in the middle of the front page. and that displays a large area of code words where it should have an ad: "clicksor_default_url = '';clicksor_banner_border = '#99CC33'; clicksor_banner_ad_bg = '#FFFFFF';clicksor_banner_link_color = "
    I ran the super bug-killer "ComboFix" (thinking the code was from the "Clicksor" virus) and was relieved to discover that it wasn't a virus.
    I can easily view videos on FoxNews from within Internet Explorer (and there is no "clicksor" code displayed in IE either). The problem lies somewhere within the Firefox version of Adobe's Flash Player /plug-in or FoxNews' incompatible code. Users are being kept up-to-date with the latest Adobe updates, but FoxNews must be using old software and needs to catch up. There must be a lot of people having this problem.

  • My battery on my 4S is worse with the OS upgrade. ***. Never had an issue before. Ugh

    Well - bought the 4S and didn't have any of the battery issues. Downloaded the iOS 5.0.1  update and the battery is worse. Crazy. Anyone else having the same problem?
    I have been an apple user for years and do understand that an increase in processing power and antennas kill batteries. But this is strange, especially after an upgrade.
    While typing this on my iPhone, battery dropped 2%. Five mins. Ugh.

    Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
    1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
    2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
    3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
    4. Fully discharge battery  (tilll it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
    5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
    In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases.  It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple.  Good Luck!

    I need to change my email adress too. i want it to be the same in icloud as my appleID is. When I set up icloud, it wouldn't allow me to use my appleid. Anyone?

  • With the newest auto update version of firefox there is now a white bar that pops up when you move your mouse over that area. i want that gone, how?

    when you move your mouse underneath the address bar a white bar pops up, this makes it so you can't click buttons or links on websites, like login buttons for example. also when in full screen mode you can no longer mouse over tabs at the top of the screen, only that white bar shows up. that prtty much kills full screen usage for me. so that popup white bar and the full screen with the white bar without tabs has just about ruined firefox for me. anyway to fix this would be great.

  • When I move my mouse Itunes stops playing. This was happening before I installed latest version. I have installed latest version three times. First and install, then as a repair, and third time I unistalled Itunes and reinstalled i.

    when I move my mouse Itunes stops playing music. Sometimes this happens immediatly and sometime it take 10 to 15 sec. I tried playing Itunes and then tabing another program but same result. If I click on play and do not move mouse Itunes works as usual.. This was happening before I installed latest version. I have installed latest version three times.

    At various stages over the years, mouse-related iTunes trouble has been associated with driver conflicts. So it might be worth following up on that possibility.
    Head to the drivers and downloads page for your model of PC, and check to make sure you're not behind on any chipset and input-device-related driver updates. (And while there, just in case, also check to make sure your BIOS, sound-card/integrated audio, and video-card/display-adaptors are up to date.)
    If you're behind on anything, and you update, does that help with the mouse-related iTunes issues?

    Do you mean you don't get notified of new emails automatically (eg. on the Lock Screen)?  This could be because this function is turned off in Settings > Notifications.  It could also be that the email account you use is having problems with its PUSH service, if it offers one.

    Hi Ciaran19,
    Are you sending files from the Adobe Send interface, Adobe Reader, or the Outlook plug-in?
    Have you checked to see whether the files that you're sending appear in the Recent Files/Sent Files list when you're logged on to https://cloud.acrobat.com? (It could be that they're uploading, but not being sent.)
    It would also be worthwhile to send the files in smaller batches, to see whether a particular file or files is problematic, and causing the error.
    Please let us know how it goes. If you're still having trouble, please let us know where you're sending from, and whether you're able to send the files in smaller batches. It would also be helpful to know the exact error message that you're receiving.
    Best,
    Sara

  • My problem started when system preferences was unresponsive and would not force quit.  I tryed to restart and got the grey screen, but it never restarted.  I closed the lid and now the screen is blank.  Has anyone had a similar problem after Lion?

  • What could be the reason when to get sync session failed to start message. I have upgrades to IOS5 but seemed to have no problems

    I had upgraded nearly 1,5 month ago to IOS 5.0.1 and seemed to have no problems during the process (all my aps and books retored fine).
    However suddenly today i-tunes says it can't be synchronizes (starting 1/7) because sync session failed to start.
    I've tried also with WiFi sync but was always trying to restart syncronization.
    I've runned the i-tunes diagnostic for sync and said it passed.

    Hello...
    I updated my browser to the last versoin of firefox (31). But I have a problem with mozilla. why tha toolbar of alexa does not work on it?

    After a quick search in the addon.mozilla.org page, it looks like that add on is still compatible with version 31. Please try to [[Re-enable add-ons that were disabled when updating Firefox]] or make a back up of the add on folder in the profile folder and reinstall the add on.
