Firefox 8 bookmark menu blacks out - did no one test this program?

Firefox 8 seems to perpetuate the errors of the previous version plus add its own new problems. I just upgraded to Firefox 8 on Windows 7 Home Premium. The bookmark menu (which some idiot decided to try and hide) turns black when I scroll down through my bookmarks. Some bookmarks turn back to grey as the mouse cursor moves over them (like when I stop scrolling), but they turn black again as soon as I scroll. This is not unlike the previous version's behaviour of highlighting all of the bookmarks as the mouse cursor rolled over them. How about getting some standard libraries that work?

I fear it's KWin effects fault: deactivating compositing(*) makes firefox behave perfectly on those cases...
I'll try to see which effects are at fault
*: to make it fast, click Meta+F12 (Meta is usually Alt+Shift) or type this in a bash shell "qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin org.kde.KWin.toggleCompositing" (without double quotes ofc)

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • I have an iPhone 5 unlocked. I have been using it for few weeks but 4 days ago I turned it off and in the morning it had NoService. Called tmobile and apple costumer services no one helped. Did any one had this issue and solved it?

    If you got the Unlocked message it means it was successfully unlocked by AT&T.  Apple will not relock or block it.  They have no objections to it being used on T-Mobile.  It is still under warrantee.  Take to an Apple store.  They can test it with a SIM from AT&T.  If that doesn't work have them replace the phone.  Have them verify that the new phone is unlocked.  If it does work with the AT&T card then it is a T_Mobile problem.

  • Did any one test New Crucial BallistiX DDR400

    Its a simple question about how well the New Ballistix DDR400 or DDR500 behaves with the MSI 865/875 boards .
    So did any one got this new 2-2-2-5 babys ?

    I think Crucial is compiting the other Memory brands with the Ballistix DDR400 or DDR500. especially Ballistix DDR500....see the tests from anadtech site:
    Crucial DDR500
    see the whole review:

  • How to make the bookmark menu black in FF 29.1 O/S Windows 7???

    I have fixed all my issues with new FF 29.1 except one, I used to use Noia 4 but it's no longer available in FF 29.1. When using Noia 4 I was able to have a black background with white writing in my bookmark menu. I'm now using Solid Black by MaDonna, but it doesn't change the colour of the bookmark menu is there a way around this as it was much easier for me to read with my poor eyesight. Any help would be gratefully appreciated by both my eyes and me. Cheers and thank you very much to anyone that takes the time to read this and possibly help with the problem.

    As I said in your other thread, themes (AKA lightweight themes, personas) only change the background of toolbars. You need a complete theme if you want to change the background of menus, or the appearance of buttons.

  • Firefox 10: Bookmarks menu flickers and is unusable on secondary monitor

    After upgrading to Firefox 10, the bookmark menu (and other UI features) began to flicker when selected. This only happens on my secondary monitor. It does not affect my primary monitor. It makes Firefox unusable on the secondary monitor.

    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • My firefox 4 bookmarks menu does not offer :Organize Bookmarks, so where do I find this feature?

    My goal was to export my bookmarks menu to a memory chip, so there'd be a backup. i clicked on Bookmarks (firefox 4) and the menu of bookmarked items appeared, but the item Organize Bookmarks was not there. I searched around and eventually found an Organize tab in Library, but there was no clue about how to export the full menu to the memory chip. can you steer me to the appropriate place for starting the export process?

    Use "Show all bookmarks" menu. It works same as "Organise bookmarks" menu in previous Firefox versions.

  • Since loading Firefox 4, screen keeps blacking out entirely or in sections. Scrolling will get it back or cause it to black out. Very unhappy. How can this be fixed?

    Screen blacks out randomly and sometime periodically every few seconds.

  • Lost bookmarks. I unwittingly deleted the bookmarks in the "recently bookmarked" folder. I did not know that this also deleted the same bookmarks located in my bookmark folders. Where do I go to get them back?

    I was using the Show All Bookmarks and tidying up some of the older ones that I did not use anymore. Under the folder "Recently Bookmarked" were urls that I had saved under their appropriate folders. So, being tidy, I deleted them, thinking they were duplicated. Now I find that the bookmarks that had been under my various folders have all gone. Implication is that by deleting the contents of "Recently Bookmarked" I took out ALL references to the urls, not just a duplicate record.
    I want to know how to find them - they are not in the Windows recycle bin.

    Try restoring one of the previously, automatically backed-up Bookmarks. Refer to this help article on "[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20and%20restoring%20bookmarks#os=win&browser=fx8 Backing up and Restoring bookmarks]" (see section "Restoring from backups"). Hope this helps.

  • Updated to Mavericks and I get the upper left quarter of the screen blacked out on Time Machine. This means that I can't see the files. Any suggestions for getting rid of the black square?

    Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Time Machine. And I've tried rebooting the iMac, but I still get the top left hand quarted of the screeen blacked out. I can scroll back through the back-ups but the back square means that I can't see the details of any file.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I used to have a Snow Leopard that could run as fast as I could type and jump any hurdle. Now I have a mountain lion that can't get up in the morning and takes 2 minutes just to bring up the settings panel. Did Apple actually test this thing????

    Apple,
    How did you test this Mountain Lion? Was it in a zoo cage with just 30 feet for it to run? Because out in the open it can't even walk!
    Not to mention the fact that once I had upgraded many of my preferences and setting had disappeared.
    Thank you also for telling me that the upgrade would take 34 minutes - it took 56.

    It did work properly, for almost everyone.
    You must have something on your computer that is causing it problems. Try booting into Safe Mode and see if you still have the problems.
    If not, then you have a third-party incompatibility.
    If the problems still exist, I would suggest reinstalling. Lion had the same complaints. Many people fixed it just by reinstalling.
    Others had to resort to erasing the drive and then reinstalling and migrating from Time Machine.
    Others gave up and went back to Snow Leopard.

  • Lately when I launch Firefox an alert window comes up asking of I want this program to make changes to the computer. Also, I am unable to download PDF files from other sites.

    This Problem started about two weeks ago.

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

    is there anything i can do so this wont happen again?

    I'm having this issue with the Windows 7 Basic Theme.
    A workaround that works for me is to disable hardware acceleration in FF4.0.
    I'm using the latest ati drivers 11.4 on a Radeon HD 5850 1GB.
    I tried to disable all firefox extensions but nothing. I'm using FF4 default theme.
