FireFox garbled after update last night.

Saw .33 was pushed out of testing, ran the upgrade, this morning I tried to open firefox (firefox-pgo-beta from the AUR). It was completely garbled, so I rebuilt it. Still garbled. So I removed it and installed the binary firefox release from Extra. Still garbled.
Obvious things like starting in safe mode, deleting ~/.mozilla, etc. have all failed. I'm open to suggestions, but the first person to suggest I switch to Chrome gets a kitten thrown at them.
Edit: Oh, and as you can probably see, underneath it all FireFox *is* running. If I try hard enough to make out where stuff is, I can still browse the web, but it's otherwise unusable. Other GTK applications seem to be working fine.

namely the one about AccelDFS and the one about ClockGating. whatever that means, it leads to some quite dramatic improvements, performance-wise, even when using EXA. Nevertheless, still feels slightly less snappy than with XAA but is now useable AND firefox works.
Probably AccelDFS then. ClockGating is for power saving (I doubt its even working though, I underclocked the card anyway). Manpage says its some KMS related speed improvement stuff.
I dont have the time to test XAA right now, but I didnt experience any errors despite firefox. Video, other windows and Wesnoth menu screen worked snappy as expected.

  • Wont boot after update last night *FIXED*

    After I installed the latest update last night (3/23/13) my phone just sits at that red looking eye. There's animations like the lightning moving around, but wont actually boot. I've tried soft rebooting and the recovery boot, but still nothing. Looks like I'm going to have to take it back to the store and lose all my information. Absolutely ridiculous!
    Well, for some reason I cant reply to threads, so Im updating the solution here.
    Took the phone to the store and the Tech Specialist said the reason it was hanging up is because I have my phone encrypted when you shut it off. SO, basically if you have your phone pass worded, you have to factory reset your phone and lose all of your data. And, as an added bonus, you wont be able to access your microSD card either, since it is encrypted! The card thinks your connecting it to a different device, and even after entering your password you still cant access it. Wonderful! The only way for the card to recognize your factory reset phone is to reformat it. Brilliant! *** is wrong with the eggheads at Google??? I was the 5th person to goto the store with this issue, and the store had only been open 30 min. NOTE TO VERIZON! PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL OR OTHER MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS REGARDING THIS CLUSTER! This was a huge waste of time, AND data loss!!!!!

        Happy day DMONIC,
    I know that it has been a few days since your device has been rebooting. budone gave an excellent recommendation. May I ask have you tried a factory reset yet? I know you may be concerned about your personal info. The great news is that your contacts and calendar entries are safely backed up on your Gmail account. I would suggest verifying that you info is preserved online beofre doing the reset. If you have already resolved this issue or need additional assistance then please advise, just in case more help is needed.
    Thank you...

  • After update last night my firefox will not open did restore it still does not work?

    not an extension the update from last night

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    You can try to reset the preferences if that didn't work.
    See also:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+crashes
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I updated last night and now my ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode and I don't want to do a factory restore!

    How do I get out of recovery mode, that my ipod touch suddenly went into, after updating last night? It does not recognize my ipod anymore and I don't want to restore it back to factory conditions. I have tons of things on the ipod and don't want to lose them! Is there any other way to get out of this 'recovery mode'??

    No. You have to restore. To allow the restore try the following:
    - A reset.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Manually placing the iPod in Recovery Mode
    - Placing the iPod in DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If you can't turn the iPod off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • After firefox update last night to 36.0.4, it is not starting?

    After firefox update last night to 36.0.4. I cannot open Firefox. It says Firefox is already running, but is not responding. The old Firefox process must be closed to open.
    I try to close it under task manager, it is not listed under process but under details - Cannot end task, as it says access is denied.
    I try to look for help on the net. It says to delete the file PARENT.LOCK, It says action cannot be complete as the file is open in Firefox.
    I try to shut down my computer, even log out on my current user but cannot delete the file Parent.lock.
    I am using a win 8.0
    The easiest way is to uninstall and to install a fresh application, but will this wipe out all my bookmarks etc....
    Thanks,
    Coco

    Hi Coco,
    Thank you for your question, since the parent.lock file cannot be removed it is possible to create a new profile:

  • Wifi trouble immediately after installing the 4.1 update last night

    I've had flawless operation of my iPod Touch 3rd generation for a long time, including after the 4.0 update. Since updating to 4.1 last night, I've had nothing but continuous Wifi problems. Upon a fresh reboot, the Wifi will work great. Then after not using the iPod for some period of time (can be as short as a few minutes) when I go back to use the iPod, the Wifi no longer works. Wifi remains connected, and the blue Wifi icon glows with a strong signal strength. Once I initiate something that accesses online data, the gray "rotating circle" turns next to the blue Wifi signal icon - and the gray circle turns, turns, and turns some more. There is no data throughput at all. My Wifi at home is fine. While the iPod is in never-never land, I can freely browse the web on my laptop using Wifi. Online speed tests show me getting over 11 MB / sec on my cable modem. I have to go into the Wifi settings and say "forget this network" and then redo the connection. It will work again for a short time. I've done the "forget this network" and then also the reset network settings, but it failed again within an hour. Nothing has changed on my network side. Anyone else having Wifi problems after the 4.1 update last night?

    I've been having the same issues for the past week since downloading latest version. My Safari connections have been very erratic especially every evening from around 930-1100 pm the connection becomes even more unpredictable, I have to keep switching my iTouch on and off to regain access then by 11 pm that's it, end of service! And up pops a message that the safari server is no longer responding! I notice the following morning that emails sent around 1030 pm have finally downloaded around 130 am, so this must be around the time the server reactivates. Has someone set up the Safari server on a timer for those using the iTouch? My laptop connections work fine, so it's not my router or ISP connections. This is getting really annoying!

  • Music not playing after IDT update last night (HP automated update) How can I roll the patch back?

    I was notified of an HP update last night.  After the update completed, Itunes/MS media player/You-Tube....applications are unable to play.  Checked Installed programs and the only update listed was one for IDT drivers.  How can I roll back to the previous version?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I had the same issue, after reading several other posts with the same issue, I restored to before Oct 29th. Now my sound works just fine and my games that were also going hinky started to work as well.
    It would be nice if HP fixed this issue before sending up another update. It is very annoying to have undo what they did so my computer works correctly.

  • Difficulty after installing update last night

    Received our imac last Monday. Installed update last night. Internet is ridiculously slow now. Help?

    Steve, thanks for your suggestions. In the future I will do so. My husband called Apple yesterday afternoon, where the problem was stumping everyone as the update did not have anything to do with Safari. Went to a higher level programmer, they had my husband remove and reinstall Safari. When I got home, I tried the internet on our old mini-laptop. Still horrible speed, but shouldn't have been affected by the iMac update. Called our ISP and there appears to be a problem with our modem or connection. Too many wireless items on our modem appears to be an issue! Anyone have suggestions on a modem which can handle about 7 wireless items (2 x ps3, 2 x ds, 2 computers and a wii)?
    So happy that it was just a coincidence that the problem cropped up after the update. Being a 1 week iMac user had us concerned we'd ruined it!

  • Updated FireFox, rebooted & now it wont open the browser although the icon does appear in my taskbar. Was fine until update last night. Running Win8.1

    When I hover the mouse over the icon on the taskbar that appears after I have dbl-clicked the desktop icon, you can see a mini version of the open browser like normal, unfortunately the browser won't open up on the desktop. I have deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked just fine up until I did the update last night.
    Machine Specs:
    Win 8.1
    16 Gigs RAM
    3 Gigs Video
    AMD FX-6200 6 Core Processor 3.80Ghz
    64 Bit

    I suspect you won't need those files. Maybe give it a day or two before getting rid of them, in case you notice anything else new and strange with window/dialog sizes/positions.

  • My iphone 5 will not turn on after iOS 7.1.1 update last night

    I have tried to push and hold top button & home button at the same time. The phone just seems dead. It was charging all night and shouldn't be a battery problem.

    I first tried to update last night when I got home from work. It told me it couldn't update unless I had 50% or more battery life or be pluged in. So I waited until I went to bed and pluged it in to charge overnight (like I always do) and set it to update, figuring by the morning it would be finished. When I woke up this morning it was dead. I've tried plugging it into different chargers (car, work, home) but I get nothing.
    I've tried searching the internet for other sites for help, but I haven't come up with anything useful. I was hoping I could get some help here before I went to the Apple store after work.

  • Downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, worked fine, Turned computer on today, Mozilla Firefox, it won't start. Get error message, Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion =5.0.1 maxVersion =5.0.1" What do I need to do to fix it?

    We downloaded firefox 5.0.1 last night, began working with it. It did fine. After about an hour, I turned off my computer. When I turned on my computer, I click on Mozilla Firefox and it won't start. I get this error message, " Error: Platform version '5.0' is not compatible with minVersion >=5.0.1 maxVersion <=5.0.1" from XUL Runner. What do I need to do to fix it?

    The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />
    Do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    How do I recover a game app (dragonvale) from iCloud backup on ipad2 after ios7 update last night?

    Hi there Bradhawkins,
    It sound like the game may be saving data to iCloud. The article below has information on managing iCloud data.

    Remove iCloud documents using your iOS device
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage.
    Under Documents & Data, tap the app that has a document you want to delete, then tap Edit.

  • TS4148 Hello  I have a new iphone5 and I did the new update last night and now i'm getting SIM Failure and my pnone won't work unless I turn it off and on again.  I never had this probelm before.  Please advise.

    My phone is saying SIM Failure after I did update last night.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • I cant get my iphone to show up in my itunes...i downloaded the update last night and now it will not sync at all

    I cant get my iphone to show up in my itunes.  I downloaded the new update last night and I havent been able to sync it since

    See section 5 of TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
    If that doesn't help it may pay to tear down and reinstall iTunes in the following manner...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
