Firefox Display Distorted with Mac 10.8.2 and FF 15.0.1

I recently updated my OS from S.L to M.L. (10.8.2) and in doing so my firefox 15.0.1 will not allow me to extend the size of my browser window on my 27' iMac much more then a window of about 8"x8" or everything distorts and I can no longer type in any fields or modify any of my tabs. If I shrink my window back down I can then re-establish control of my browser tabs. I have disabled ALL extensions and ad-ons, reset my browser size (cmd+0) and have both "reset" my firefox as well as blown out and re-installed FF multiple times. I can browse just fine using chrome and safari..... ff just will not function as I need it to?
Below is my browser detail report:

What multifunction(all-in-one) printers work with Mac OS 10.9 and 10.8? - Printing, scanning and faxing!

What multifunction (all-in-one) BW laserjet printers work with Mac OS 10.9 and 10.8? - Printing, scanning and faxing!
I had a HP3052 whith a scaner message error 5 which can't print anymore. Anyway scanning with this HP is not supported anymore. So looking into the huge HP compatibility list on the web I see no good choice:

The new HP LaserJet M127fn MFP duplex is not even on this list...
I prefer laser than ink printers (I hate buying cartridges every month or have the system stuck with dry ink when not used for a month).
There are some good brother laserprinters, e.g. MFC7860DW, but PC-Fax doesn't work on Mac (I believe).
Thanks to anybody with some good ideas.

Thanks baltwo, but I am looking for a printer-copier-scanner-fax machine. I think I might go with the brother
http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelDetail/4/MFC7860DW/Overview#.UvAHCf1LrfM
mainly because more and more people seem to have bad experiences with HP printers in the $150-$300 range and manufactured in recent years;
and forget about faxing...

Downloaded Firefox 4 to my Mac OS10.5.8 and now can not open Firefox.

Downloaded Firefox 4 to my Mac OS10.5.8 and now can not open Firefox. The processor is 1.25 GHz Power PC G4 and 768 MB DDR SDRAM memory. Is it possible to go back to an earlier version that was running very well on my Mac?

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Studio Display 21" with Mac Mini?

I am considering getting a Mac Mini as an economical upgrade to my B/W G3 system but I want to make sire that my monitor is going to work with it. I have the origingal blue and white 21" Studio Display. the System Profiler says this......
Displays:
Studio Display 21:
Display Type: CRT
Resolution: 1152 x 870 @ 75 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
Will this display work with a new Mac Mini? I really do not have the $ right now to get a new Monitor and this one works great anyway. I am also wondering how my current software,,,,,,, Photoshop,Indesign etc. will work with the new Intel Macs?
THanks for any input

Can't help on the screen much - believe you need to get an adapter, as the previous post indicated. You might check in the Apple dislay area at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=111
Regarding your applications, as long as you're not running under OS 9 or earlier, your applications will run on the Intel mini under Rosetta emulation. Universal applications are those that have been modified to run on both the PPC and Intel macs, and they run natively. Those applications that have not been made universal run under Rosetta emulation. Photoshop is an example of an application that has not been made universal yet (supposed to happen this year with Photoshop CS3). Running under emulation does extract a performance penalty, of up to 50%, versus running in native universal mode.
If you have applications running under OS9 or in the OS X classic environment, you'll need to upgrade to an OS X version in order to run on the Intel-based mini, and you may find there are Universal versions of your software, which would be even better.

Download doesn't work with MAC 10.4.11 and i just noticed my Firefox is 2.0.0.6

Hi,
I tried downloading the free Firefox. As soon as I clicked on it a message popped up and said it wasn't compatible with my Mac.
My Mac is 104.11 and I cannot afford to buy another computer right now. The screens say it is compatible with MAC 10.4.11...
Any suggestions

Sadly, Firefox no longer includes support for MacOS 10.4, however you can still use browsers similar to Firefox. 
[http://www.tenfourfox.com/ TenFourFox] is an unofficial build of Firefox for older Macs, and so will work on your computer. However since you are using a really old computer, it doesn't have all the features Firefox has. 
[http://caminobrowser.org/ Camino] is a community project to make the best Gecko-based browser for Macs around. Unlike TenFourFox it doesn't try to be Firefox, but instead does its own thing. 
[http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ SeaMonkey] is another community effort and is a continuation of the original Mozilla Suite which shares a few similar properties with Firefox. SeaMonkey is great for people who like their browsing experience retro.

HT5219 did thunderbolt display worked with mac pro 2012 12 core ??

i buy mac pro 2012 12 core with thunderbolt display so how i can maake it work with us ??

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you want to use a Thunderbolt Display with your 2012 MacBook Pro, you can do it without any problem because your MacBook Pro has got a Thunderbolt port.
If you need help to set up the Thunderbolt Display, see its user guide > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/thunderbolt_display_getting_started.pdf
Instead, if you have a Mac Pro (it looks like you have a Mac Pro because you say that it has got 12 cores), you can't use the Thunderbolt Display because the Mac Pro hasn't got Thunderbolt ports. Instead, you have to use the LED Cinema Display

What display works with Mac Pro 2012

Will the new Thunderbolt display work with my Mac Pro (2012)?

Actually, the 27 LED Cinema does re-appear in the Apple refurbished store from time/time. Use refurbme to be notified.

Help with Mac 10.4.11 and Adobe CS5 compatibility?

I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11, and am attempting to
open Adobe Illustrator CS5. The program is only compatible,
however, with Mac 10.5 and higher. Is there a way I can upgrade
my software or what should I do? (my computer says
no new upgrades are available.)
Thanks!

Horizontal lines with Mac Pro 1,1 and ATI Radio X1900XT

I love my Mac Pro, I've had it since 2007. But recently, I have been having a video problem and I hope somebody here might have some advice or suggestions.
_The Problem_
Large horizontal lines going across the screen - especially when it is displaying quickly moving images. These horizontal lines move upward, as if trying to refresh the image. Examples: playing a video, scrolling down a webpage, rearranging windows.
_My computer setup_
I have a Mac Pro 1,1 with ATI radeon x1900 graphics card. I am using two displays, and experience the following problem on both displays. My displays are set up as follows:
*Display 1:* Acer H234H, uses male DVI to male DVI connection
*Display 2:* Panasonic TC-37LZ85, male DVI to male HDMI cord > HDMI coupler (i.e. 2 both sides female) > male HDMI to male HDMI cable
Both are using 1920x1080 screen resolution.
I don't think this is an issue with either of the individual monitors for 2 reasons:
(1) both of them do it
(2) the Acer has a very fast response time (2 ms) yet it also has the problem.
Suggestions, comments, ideas, and "hey me too"s are welcome and appreciated.

Thank you for your answer; I followed your suggestions:
The card is working fine in terms of spinning and is not dusty.
I booted from the Mac OS Installer DVD, and couldn't replicate the problem. But I don't think that's a good indicator, because this problem is intermittent and doesn't manifest itself consistently. Also, there's no way of playing video or scrolling down a webpage from the Installer DVD.
Also, I tried switching the two display connectors around (plug 2 to plug 1 and vice versa), which caused something interesting to happen: I stopped seeing vertical lines but started getting WEIRD flickering and green artifacts. Again, this happened on both screens.
The Apple Hardware Test said everything is fine (weird).
I think I'll try your suggestion of re-installing the OS. I always dread doing it. But hey maybe it'll make my computer run fast again (it's been running slowly lately).
Cheers, thanks for the suggestions, and I'll post back regarding what happens next.

Three Monitors with Mac Pro 1,1 and Radeon 5770

I have a Mac Pro 1,1 3.0GHz with an ATi Radeon HD 5770 graphics card. I'm trying to run three Samsung Syncmasters at 1680x1050, one through DVI, the other two through the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI adapter. I can currently get two at full resolution, with the third coming up as a Generic monitor at 600x400.
Any ideas how I can get all at full resolution? Any help is appreciated!

The commodity in short supply is the power to run the ACTIVE POWEED adapters. These contain driver circuits that create DVI from the supplied Mini DisplayPort signals.
You must be certain that the extra USB cords are plugged in at the Mac end to get enough power to run the circuitry. If not, one of the displays will remain dark.
At Startup, the display tells the Mac its name and capabilities over a reverse-channel in the interface. That is how the Mac knows what the display_name is and what resolutions are appropriate. Failure in the display, the cabling, or the converter could leave the Mac unable to determine that information.
Debugging should be done in a two-display setup to assure that power is not the issue. Substitute computer ports, converters, cables and displays to determine which component carries the fault with it.

Is there an external hard disc that will work with Mac OS10.4.11 and Windows Vista?

Is there an external hard disc that will work with both Mac (OS10.4.11) and Windows (Vista)?

For NTFS on Mac, there are both open-source and commercial solutions. See:

For HFS+ Drivers for Windows, there is only one:

Firefox came up with the unresponsive script message and now if frozen?

Firefox came up with the unresponsive script message. I clicked 'stop script' but now Firefox has frozen and is not responding to anything I do. I cannot click on anything. It will not let me close it down, uninstall it or shut down my computer.

Upgraded to FF 33 and installed English dictionary. Now FF is hanging frequently in www.morningstar.com and I believe elsewhere with the following:
Warning: Unresponsive Script
Script: chrome://browser/content/browser.js.17006
I do NOT understand the "chrome" reference.
This is quite annoying. I upgraded to FF 33 in order to try to get back spell checking in Morningstar posts which I lost back at FF 24, as I recall, but it did NOT solve the problem. Now I have this mess.

Firefox comes up with a split screen, left and right. Is this normal? (I don't like it, and would prefer to have only one pane open upon logging in.)

Firefox comes up with a split screen, the right side of which is the one I want to retain as the only opening window (blank), and the left side of which (a sign-on page for a favourite site) I would like not to have sitting there. Is this normal? Or did I somehow (erroneously) make it happen? How can I get rid of the left pane so that only one pane (the right, 'blank') appears when I log on to Firefox?

Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

Bookmarks Safari 5.0.5 will not import into Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS 10.6.8

I am on Mac OS 10.6.8. When trying to import bookmarks from Safari 5.0.5, they will not import/display into Firefox 17.0.
I have tried the following from the bookmark menu:
Import Bookmarks from HTML...
Import Data from Another Browser...
No bookmarks display when I click ok for each, even after quitting and restarting firefox.
Am I doing something wrong?

Hello nureste, try the next : open Safari> File > Export Bookmarks and save the html file in your choice location, then open firefox, and as you known, Import Bookmarks from HTML... choose the html file with the safari bookmarks.
EDIT: see also : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-html#os=mac&browser=fx17 Import Bookmarks from an HTML file - mac]

Color Distortion with Mac Lion, CS6, Epson R2880 printer

When I had Snow Leopard, CS4 and Epson R2280, I got prints that looked like what was on the monitor.
When I bought a new Mac which switched my operating system to Lion, and Adobe recommended I buy CS5 which I did. When I went to print, trying every setting imaginable, the color was too dark, distorted and lifeless. I called support on January 23, 2012 and they have not solved the problem YET.
I was very excited to try CS6. I selected use CS4 profiles.
I printed a PSD file using Printer controls setting, color matching, epson. The results are marginally better. The pictures do not come out as dark but yellows turn green and greens turn blue. Blues are sligtly darker and reds are off- mostly darker. I got the same results letting photoshop control the colors. This lack or responsiveness to changes in commands is the same thing I encountered with CS5. I also tried printing an unadjusted raw file and the color did not change.
I know how to use the Epson R2880 so I chose the correct media and ink.
When I print from Apples preview or iPhoto, the color is perfect.
Given that Epson is a high quality photoprinter, Adobe should make it their business to be sure their product works with Epson.

I too have a MacBook with Lion and an Epson R2880..I'm in the process of evaluating CS6 on the
MAC platform after using PS and Premier Pro on Windows boxes since 1995; so far I'm
very impressed with how CS6 runs under LION given the somewhat strained
relationship between Apple & Adobe..but I digress..my first attempt at a print
with Luster produced very distorted imagery compared to that of my Thunderbolt
display (which I love BTW)..I recognize the distortion almost certainly
that caused by either 1)an improperly selected printer driver in the dialoges or
2)bad or clogged ink jets or 3)a printer driver not updated for my new hardware/software
combo..in this case LION with CS6 (beta s/w)...now in my case its not #2 as I just
printed the same tiff file with CS5 on my Windows machine perfectly; its also not #1 cause
I checked & rechecked the matte settings...I suspect #3 is the culprit..I'll do some
more troubleshooting with this and report back..
Oh, BTW, soft proofing on my MAC TB display revelaed not distortions so even
tho I have done no monitor calibrations on this display I have no reason to
suspect thatas the culprit..
