'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

    I still can't find a solution. Changing the parameter wmode:transparent works for .swf files but .flv files do not have the option to add this parameter. If you add it in the script manually it doesn't do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cn't find any solution online.
    Thanks,

  • FN key menue bar does not appear on Satellite R

    PROB-1: i bought this Lap before 4 months.. suddenly my FN key is not working... that is, if i press FN key, menu bar does not POP OUT, but if i hold FN key and press F7 or F6, the screen brightness is changing.
    I got this in Saudi Arabia, the key board also have Arabic font (which i really dont want).
    PROB-2: If i want to type "@", i have to press ' Shift+" ' instead of ' Shift+2 '
    pls help on these..

    Hi
    Prob 1:
    The FN button row which appears at the top of the display is controller by Flash Card Support Utility.
    Go to All Programs -> Toshiba -> Flash Cards and restart this software.
    If this does not help, then reinstall this tool.
    Prob2:
    I assume you keyboard language setting does not match with the keyboard layout.
    Simply change the keyboard language setting.
    I assume you will need to change this to English (United state)

  • Menu bar does not show on screen?

    Menu bar does not show on screen.

    I'll assume your profile is wrong (10.4.7?) and you are using Lion in full screen mode.  If so click the double arrows in the menu bar which should appeare if you mouse into the menu bar area.
    If that isn't the case then are you zoomed in?  Contol + fingler drag on mouse (or scroll wheel) zooms in or out (see Mouse preferences, Screen Zoom, look at the little movie).

    How do I compress a file on a Mac.  I do not see and option to compress a file when I right click on it and the Apple help does not provide and accurate answer

    Select the file with one click, then go to File in the menu bar and select Compress...
    By the way Niel's post says control - click. This means click with the control key held down. It produces the same result as going to File in the menu bar and selecting Compress...

  • I am trying to update a chart in Pages that I created in Numbers, but the refresh button does not show up after I save the Numbers file. Thoughts?

    I am trying to update a chart in Pages that I created in Numbers, but the refresh button does not show up after I save the Numbers file. Thoughts?

    It is hard to exactly understand what you have  done or not by you one sentence description. My thought is have you read in the Pages User Guide? Here is what it says about updating a chart in Pages:
    Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document
    If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Pages document. After it’s been pasted into Pages, the chart remains linked to the data tables it references in Numbers. To change the chart data, open the original Numbers document and edit the data there, save the Numbers document, and then refresh the chart data in Pages.To update a chart after you’ve updated its linked Numbers table:
       Select the chart on the page and click the Refresh button that appears.
    Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that the chart references.
    I hope it has helped you.

    How do I delete apps in os5? I press and hold the icon and they all begin to shake but the little x does not appear allowing me to delete.

    You can't delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. Music, App Store, Game Centre etc. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • I have selected to have photos in my icloud but the photo folder does not appear.

    I have selected to have photos in my icloud but the photo folder does not appear in icloud. There are many folders, like mail, but none for photos.

    You can see photo stream photos on icloud.com.  You can only see them on an iOS device or computer that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled.  If you want to see them on the web, you would have to add the photos to a shared stream using the public website option enabled (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99).  This gives you a private url allowing you to view them from any computer browser.

  • HT3867 I am connected to the hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear.

    Hi,
    I am connected to my hotel wifi network, but the login screen does not appear. I am able to access the login page on my PC, but on the iPhone it does not appear and just tries to connect to the webpage (e.g. google.co.uk), and eventually gives up. I've tried opening pages in Safari and Chrome, but none cause the login screen to appear. I have also tried trying to log into the login page that the PC opens when connected to the wifi, but the same thing happens. I am using a iPhone 3G with the latest iOS version 6.0.1.
    Is there a way to make the iPhone try to open the login page?
    Ben.

    I have the exact same problem as the original poster and I tried many times already the solution proposed by trstark66 and it's still not working. It's not working for both my iPad and iPhone 5. I'm using the latest iOS version available all the time. I have my iPad since 3 years and my iPhone since 1 years and I always had that problem. I'm an airline pilot so I'm always in hotels. I asked my colleagues who also have iPhones and iPads and they all have the same problems from time to time. And when I go in an apple store they all say that it's the first time they hear about that problem. I never have that problem with my PCs, my previous phone and my BB playbook. Only with my iPhone and iPad....since now 3 years...Always the same problem. I'm connected to the Hotel Network, I have an IP address but nothing popup to register with a user name, password or just to access the "I have read and accept the condition.../connect". And when I go in Safari or other Browsers, I am not redirected to a login page. All I have is a message saying cannot access the webpage because I'm not connected to Internet. I tried already hard resets, on/off Wi-Fi, automatic connexion off, forget this network, reset network setting...
    My solution for now is to use my Boingo account. I connect to the hotel Network and then I use the Boingo app to connect to Internet.
    But, sometimes it works the first time or suddenly for no reason.
    Very funny, I was using Boingo on my ipad to write this message in my Hotel room because I was unable to use my free connection as usual. When I tried to press "Add Reply" it failed and I had the message "An error occured while trying to submit your post, please try again". The reason was that boingo was disconnected since I was taking too long to write this message. So I wasn't connected to Internet anymore. I opened a second tab in Safari and what did I see!... the login page to access the free connection from the hotel. This is crazy. Apple, you really suck with hotel/coffee hotspots... I tried for hours and nothing, now hours later I just open a new tab and it works. But tomorrow I know I will try the same and it will not work again. It shouldn't be that complicated.

  • I lost my basic browser, I do not have file, edit, history etc. to view

    At one time, I was able to view file, edit, history, bookmark etc on my browser, I think it went away when I changes the design background of the browser. Can you help me get it back?

    Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
    Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.
