Firefox freezes. Will launch with a blank black screen until I close all firefox windows & tabs and start over.

It can be on any site or multiple sites. I usually have multiple tabs & windows open. I have checked the version and It tells me that it is up to date. I have removed all add-ons and reset it. What else can I do?

What is your computer system?

    run the cleaner (Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs) and then retry installing.

  • My iPad 2 just stopped playing videos. The original comes with the iPad video icon opens with a blank black screen and does not repond. I have shut all apps, shut the computer down, but no good. Where to from here?

    My iPad just stopped playing videos. The original app that comes with the iPad opens with a blank black screen. I have shut all apps, and the shutdown the co ad, but no effect. Where to from here?

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then I normally suggest closing the Videos app via the taskbar and re-opening it, and then a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds unilt the Apple logo should appear - but as it sounds like you've alreadt tried that, then see if the spotlight search works.

  • I can't get my shuffle to play through all my playlists. Once I pick a playlist, it will play that one all  the way through and start over instead of playing the next one.

    How do I get my shuffle to play all my playlists through their entirety?  I will select one and it will play all the way through and start over.  I want it to finish that one and move to the next playlist, and so on.

    I think that's the way it's supposed to work. 
    You should just create another "merged" playlist that has ALL the songs from those playlists, with songs in the order you want them played, then use the play in order setting on the shuffle.
    It won't take up any more space on the shuffle, because all of the songs will already be on the shuffle due to the separate playlists.

  • Pics on my phone are gone...has been replaced with a blank black screen??

    Hello everyone,
    So today I was browsing through my pics and noticed there were some pics that have been replaced with a black screen. I deleted like 4 of them, thinking I that they just "appeared" but I scrolled up and noticed that it was also a few videos and pics that I know I had that had been replaced as well. So has anyone had this happen to them? What did you? How do I get my pics back? And is this some sort of virus?

    Ok I discovered the same thing today. Two of my pics were black. I just deleted them thinking I must of taken bad pics. I now know I didnt. Here's the funny thing, I came on here looking for a problem that is related to messaging, photos and video text messaging. All kinds of problems are showing up. I go to send a video in text messaging and it freezes up right before it sends..
    Does anyone know what's happening?

  • Black Screen after ASUS logo but before WINDOWS logo and logon screen

    Ok. So I have a custom built PC with an i5 Intel core and windows7.
    PC was working fine, but the next day after booting it up, I would get the usual ASUS logo with "press f2 or del to enter bios"... and this is usually followed by a 2 second WINDOWS loading bar going into the logon screen. But after the ASUS logo,
    the loading bar doesnt show.. and the screen just dims like it went into sleep mode and nothing can wake it up or anything. The PC, fans and everything are still running and working fine.
    From what Ive read up and researched on this so far.. it may most likely be some sort of admin/privilege issue. But I have no way of entering safe mode. Pressing/holding F8 brings up a boot up menu, not the advanced boot options to select safe mode T_T.
    What do I do?

    Hi,
    Like Rick said, it sounds like your computer is with problem instead of Operating System.
    Thus I suggest you send your computer to ASUS support center to take a hardware detection.

  • Blank black screen with just mouse pointer after logging in windows 8.1

    First of all On starting the system, it was taking much longer time than usual.. Then after logging in it showed only a blank black screen with white mouse pointer.. had to force shut down (shut down also took longer time).. on starting went to safe mode and ran extensive system check.. HARD DRIVE SMART CHECK PASSED but HARD DRIVE SHORT DST CHECK FAILED...I have the recovery discs and the notebook is under warranty..

    Hi 
              If your hard drive is failing on short DST test then you will need to contact HP in your local region and arrange with HP a repair ( Hard drive replacement )  .  You say your machine is still in Warranty then the cost of shipping and repair will be covered by HP .

  • IOS app rejected due to a blank, black screen upon launch

    I recently got my iPhone app rejected and the reason is below:
    "We found that your app exhibited one or more bugs, when reviewed on iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.3, on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
    Specifically, the app displayed a blank, black screen upon launch. Please see the attached screenshot/s for more information.
    The steps to reproduce are:
    1. Launch app
    2. Bug encountered"
    I use FlashDevelop and the latest Apache Flex + Air SDK 3.7 + swfversion=20. I don't have an iPhone 5 to test on but I've tested the application on a 3GS, iPod touch (4th gen.) on IOS 4.3, 5.1 and 6.1.3 (latest) and the application works on all of them.
    The attached screenshot mentioned above is here:
    the "blank" screen is actually a deep blue one, which the color I've set to my project's background.
    I didn't make any special modifications in the code to support iPhone 5 to be honest, and the project dimensions were set to 640x960, but I did include the [email protected], and it shows inside the .ipa at Payload/Myapp.app/
    In almost all the iPhone 5 discussions I've read online, theat launch problem is due to the [email protected] not being there in the root of the release .ipa, but I'm sure it does exist on my ipa. Also, I have request high resolution set to high, and the Info.plist has the correct DTPlatformVersion (6.0) and DTSDKName (iphoneos6.0).
    Any ideas what the problem could be?
    Thanks.

    Remember - they gave you a very specific device and version. It might be working on all other configurations. So if you are unable to get your hands on that device and version you are going to be left stabbing in the dark as to what is going wrong.
    My advice would just be to figure out what's different with that device and make sure everything is configured properly.
    Another option - if you don't want this app on the iPad anyway - is to remove it from the configuration:
    <key>UIDeviceFamily</key>
    <array>
              <string>1</string>
              <string>2</string>
    </array>
    You would delete the <string>2</string> part.

  • Blank black screen when I open Firefox

    Hi everyone,
    Thanks in advance for your help. I have noticed over the last week that whenever I open Firefox, I have a blank black screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but the problem still exists. After some research, I started Firefox in safe mode in which it opened but after closing the window and re-opening the Firefox window, the blank black screen still appeared.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to rectify this problem?
    Thank you

    Did this happen when you updated to Firefox 33? Many Windows 7 users with integrated Intel graphics have not updated their graphics drivers for a long time, and Firefox 33 is incompatible with the older drivers.
    The temporary workaround is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration, but the long term solution is to update the Intel software. Please see this thread for step-by-step and links: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1025438
    Success?

    When I bring up my Mozillafirefox, all I get is a window with a blank white screen, (and the firefox logo). (After using Firefox very happily for over a year, I had to 'reinstall' Firefox 3.66 about a month and a half ago, (and lost all my bookmarks as a result therein), and hope I can get my firefox back this time without having to reinstall. Mozilla Firefox is still listed as one of my active programs). HELP! Is there a way to get my firefox back without reinstalling? Many thanks!

  • Blank Black Screen installing Windows XP Pro SP2 Retail with Boot Camp

    Hi Support Forum -
    I am using BootCamp Assistant (3.0.2) to install WindowsXP_SP2_ProRetail on my MacBook Pro 15inch
    Mid2009 (10.6.4) plus all the latest updates.
    I have no problems creating partitions ranging from 5GB to more than half my HDD of 500GB....but
    nothing but one problem when I get to Step 3 of the BootCamp Installation & Setup Guide, page 7:
    To install Windows on your Mac computer:
    1 a... Open Boot Camp Assistant
    b... Select 'Start Windows installer'
    c... Click Continue
    2..... Insert your Windows installation disc
    3..... In Boot Camp Assistant, click Start Installation
    Your computer starts up from the Windows installation disc
    That's as far as I get! First a Gong sound then the gray screen appears and afterwards the screen turns BLACK. After a short while the optical drive starts up and is quite active with either searching
    or scanning back and forth for about 5 minutes. Then all activity stops and finally the computer stops
    2 minutes later. Interestingly the keyboard was never lit and none of the keys responded to my de-
    pressions. I also noticed the aluminum case near the display pivot edge get quite warm probably due
    to the black screen so I decided to press the power-off key.
    I restarted the computer and held the option key depressed, selected the Macintosh HD icon and pro-
    ceeded to the Logs (system.log & the windowserver.log) for any entries about the windows installer
    and the optical drive operations....Nothing, nothing! Then I checked the BootCamp HD with Finder,
    nothing, -> 0 items were loaded!
    I feel at a loss what to do next??? I even ran Techtooldeluxe diagnostic utility from AppleCare, every-
    thing AOK!
    Now I had Windows installed successfully when I first had bought my MBP 15 last year. Then I decided
    to play around with Parallel Desktop 5, didn't like it and tried to return to Windows and ever since that
    time I was not able to install Windows XP. I decided to reinstall OSX to Factory Conditions, did the
    7-pass erase for secure delete, installed OSX again without any problems. But Windows still won't in-
    stall, get that Blank Black Screen, no cursors!
    Perhaps something slipped in with soft- or firmware upgrades for the Graphic/Display 'Nvidia GeForce
    9400M that won't let windows installer function properly?
    Just for kicks I reinstalled Parallel Desktop 5 and Win/XP installed without any problems.
    The Apple Experts in CA couldn't help me either. Now I had hoped there might be a solution to this
    problem at this time?!
    I like my MBP very much and I might convert to OSX and it's applications if I can't get an answer to my
    problem. I still don't like to give up though and would like to pursue this problem with more diagnostic aids from Tech Support. I know there a lot of OPEN incidents on this particular problem!
    If this really is a Windows Installer failure, why does it work with Parallel Desktop 5, there is no BOOT
    CAMP ASSISTANT!!!!
    Hope I can get a solution soon from some brilliant expert out there!
    Thanks for your patience,

    I know what are you talking about. It looks more like a video compatibility issue in Boot Camp like this one:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1454?viewlocale=en_US
    I encountered something similar with a MacBook Pro and despite all searching, i couldn't find a solution. However i am not that expert you are searching for, just the average Mac user
    *You may try another XP version, i was able to install a older XP home setup, and updated lately after installing :|*
    I am interested myself in a solution from some brilliant expert out there! Keeping an eye on this thread.

    After applying update my apple tv2 will randomly go to a black screen that lasts for a few seconds. When it gets back to normal after a few seconds it acts like the video never stopped since its farther along in the timeline. This happens with all video content wether its from Netflix or streaming from my iTunes library

    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds. If that doesn't help try using another HDMI cable.
