Firefox is freezing, then only showing a white blank screen when I try to load it.

Ok, I have not had any problems with firefox, I was logging on it all the time, everyday, etc... with no problems until today. Today when I went to log onto the net, firefox opened, and it looked like everything I had customized from tabs, bookmarks and etc... had been wipped off. But also, it would not load any page, none of my bookmarks were showing in the side bookmark window that was open. It would only say "connecting..." in the only tab that was there. I could not click on anything, or do anything. When I tried to click on anything within it, I would get the "not responding" error at the top, and then the whole browser would disappear, and be replaced with a white blank page, with only the firefox logo, in the blue bar at the very top. This would also be frozen, and I could not even get it to close. I would have to open my task manager, and close it that way by stopping the process.
I have not installed anything new on my comp, I have not downloaded unknown things, or anything new I do not think recently either. Like I said I have been using firefox for years, never had this problem. I used it just fine even this morning before I went to bed. Then tonight when I woke, logged on, this was happening.
I have tried using IE, and IE is working just fine, without any problems. I used IE to download, and then update firefox to the newest version, still no change. By the way I was not running "really old" version or anything, I keep my firefox updated. Soooo can someone help me?

I have a similar issue -- using an embedded google form rendered as an iframe. It is present in the source, but displays as blank space.
This problem seems to be confined to Mac OS X (I'm on 10.6.3), and I didn't have this problem with FF 3.6.x (not sure if I ever had 3.6.9, or what version I had prior to 3.6.10). The issue is not present in Chrome or Safari, or on 3.6.10 on Windows 7.0 I believe

  • Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    Some snaps show up as black screens when I try to view them as single pictures.Even when I run them in slideshows they show up as black screens.These are jpeg files.How can I avoid this happening?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • I cannot enlarge photos on Facebook, I only get a BLACK, BLANK screen when I click on them-someone suggested it might be "Screen Resolution Setting"? I've already uploaded new firefox version. Please help!

    I am not able to ENLARGE photos on Facebook, this means photos that friends post on News Feed & photos that I post in my FB photo albums. I only get a BLANK, BLACK screen when I click on individual photos. A friend suggested that I upload the New Firefox, and I did this today, but it did not resolve problem. Friend also suggested that it could be "Screen Resolution Setting"?? OR "Data Rate" too slow?? I do not know how to check these features? Please help! If it could be something else, please let me know. Thank you for your time & help!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Trying to import cd, it only shows tracks, not song titles. when i try and get the titles it says im not registered for online use even though im signed in. how can i fix this?

    Im trying to import songs from a cd, but it only shows track numbers, no title of songs.when it try to get the titles it gives error code saying im not registered for online use. i am signed into my account so i dont know how to fix this.

    The "not recognized for on-line use" error is associated with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up and retrieve metadata for CDs.  Some users have reported that this error occurs when trying to import from CD, subsequent to upgrading to version 12.  A number of slightly different solutions have been reported (though all of a similar nature).
    Try walking through the following steps - before starting you may have to enable hidden files and folders to be viewed - in Windows 7 / Windows Explorer select Organize > Folder and search options, then on the View tab make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is selected.  Without this you won't see the AppData folder in C:\Users\username\.
    Exit iTunes
    In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Delete the following files:
    CD Info.cidb
    com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
    Restart iTunes
    Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
    If this doesn't work: 
    In iTunes, select Edit > Preferences and make a note (or take a screenshot) of your preferences settings in all relevant tabs
    Exit iTunes
    In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Delete the following file:iTunesPrefs.xml
    Restart iTunes
    Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
    If this second procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1.
    If this one didn't work: 
    Exit iTunes
    Check the following folders:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
    C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Delete any copies of the following files:
    CD Info.cidb
    com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
    iTunesPrefs.xml
    Restart iTunes
    Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
    Again, if this procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1 of the second procedure. 
    If you're still not able to retrieve CD info: 
    Exit iTunes
    In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.  Find the entry for iTunes, right-click and select Repair.
    When this process has finished, restart iTunes
    Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
    If none of these have worked (and almost everything I've seen suggests you should be OK by this point), you may have an issue with the installation and configuration of iTunes itself.  If you have got this far, see turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on how to remove and replace of all components of iTunes.

  • Iphoto 9.5.1 shows mpeg-4 files as a thumbnail, but will only show as a black screen when you double click on it, other video files are able to be played and are viewable.  Why?

    iphoto 9.5.1 shows mpeg-4 video files as a thumbnail, but will not play the video.  When try to play video it shows as a black screen.  Other video files play ok- (mpeg, .mov).  What do I have to do to view them?   If I use imovie they will play, but I sometime like to view them in iphoto.  It worked before I upgraded to 9.5.1 and 19.9.2 of the operationg system.

    Select the thrumbnail of one of the videos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  That should take you to the original mpeg4 file. 
    If it does then try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • I downloaded Firefox to my PC and olny get a blank screen when I click on the Icon, Why?

    I only had Internet Explorer on this new( to me) PC and wanted to download FireFox. I downloaded it to my PC and when I click on the Firefox Icon, all I get is a blank screen with a small menu bar at the top left. I DO NOT get the icons that show on the sample input screen at the top right. All I get is the History icon which does nothing when I press it. I deleted the Firefox app from my PC and downloaded it a second time and it does the same thing. My son gave me this used PC, but it did NOT have firefox on it. What do I do now?

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Please help! Blackberry Torch 8610 stuck in white blank screen!

    sorry for my bad english..
    i'm indonesian ^^
    before this problem happends, about 3 days ago i've got an error message saying built in media got an error so must repair it or wipe it.. i tried to repair it, but it keeps saying built in media repair failed. so i wipe it..
    but, a couple of seconds after i click wipe built in media, my blackberry reboots by itself..
    after it finished rebooting, my blackberry tells me built in media got an error again.
    and i tried to wipe it again but my blackberry still rebooting it self again.
    this happends  4 times in a row.
    and then, when the fourth reboot finished, i tried to wipe it again..
    and yes, the blackberry still rebooting itself again.
    but, this time, my blackberry didn't finish rebooting, the loading bar stuck in 3/4 of the bar.
    its stuck like that for 3 half days.
    i tried to fix it with app updater, but its still stuck in 3/4 of the bar.
    so today i tried to fix it with JL_cmder
    i tried to restore it to factory default.. but it keeps failed connecting to the device..
    the third time i tried, it got a white blank screen when reaching the 3/4 loading bar..
    please help..
    i would really appreciate your help.

    Download BBSAK onto your computer. Connect your phone to the computer and close out BlackBerry Desktop Software as soon as it opens. Then start BBSAK and do the wipe from there. You should get a screen saying there is no OS. At this point you should be able to install the OS either from BBSAK or from the BlackBerry Desktop Software. Try it and report back.

  • CP8 - White/blank screen during pre-load when the pre-loader is set to below 100%

    My Captivate 8 project contains an hour of audio. When my pre-loader is set to 100% the course takes about 2.5 minutes to load. To reduce load time, I have experimented with reducing the pre-loader below 100%. However, when the pre-loader is set to anything less than 100%, my course shows a white/blank screen after the preloader and before the audio begins to play. The white screen is shown for about 10-20 seconds. The white screen gives the impression that the course has not loaded properly. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I am trying to reproduce the issue at my end, I used an audio which is about an hour long and broke it slide-by-slide as you mentioned. But I don't see any white screen before or after changing the pre-loader percentage. I even tried setting it as low as 10% but still no blank screen. I doubt this can be specific to the audio file or may some other element in project is causing the issue. Is it possible for you to share the project so we can debug the issue? My email address is [email protected]

  • HT201263 iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off

    iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket, it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off.
    this is coincidently after an ios update for iphone which i did just approx two days earlier which was suppused to fix battery issues?
    also battery shows 100 percent full but as i explained if disconected from socket it switches off altogether.

    Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

  • When I try to load firefox it only shows in the bar at the bottom of the screen. I can highlight it but when I click on it, it just returns to the bar.

    When I try to load firefox it only shows in the bar at the bottom of the screen. I can highlight it but when I click on it, it just returns to the bar. Can't get it to maximize. Please help.

    The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
    For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
    1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
    2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
    3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
    4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.

  • My IPOD touch got wet and now only shows a white screen.  How to fix?

    My IPOD touch got wet (it was not submerged in water, just rained on) and now only shows a white screen.  How can I fix this?  I already dried it in rice, and reinstalled it on ITUNES.

    unless you have apple care which even that probably doesnt cover water damage. youre gonna need to buy a new screen. probably set you back $60 something. look up ipod touch 4g lcd screen in google and look for sites like amazon or something. unless you wanna have apple charge you like 100 bucks for it or probably more

  • Hi, i am having a problem in my ipad 2 , it is not showing main screen just showing a black blank screen in which downloading icon is only shwn which is continously and when i connect to itunes via windows 7 it showing this error (0xE8000065) can any one

    hi, i am having a problem in my ipad 2 , it is not showing main screen just showing a black blank screen in which downloading icon is only shwn which is continously and when i connect to itunes via windows 7 it showing this error (0xE8000065) can any one

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
