That is first half of the laptop screen is blank while the yahoo window will start on 2nd half horizontally. all web sites will also be displayed on half of the screen (2nd half). in case of other browsers such as internet explorer or chrome all web windows will display fully on the screen.I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Firefox but the problem has persisted. so much so i have stopped using FIREFOX FOR BROWSING.

  • New version caused webpage to only be half of my laptop screen

    Downloaded Firefox update on 06/18/14 and it doesn't fill the entire laptop screen. All websites are 1/2 of the screen and you can see my wallpaper peeking out from underneath. I'm not that computer savvy so I tried a few common sense fixes to troubleshoot but nothing is solving the problem.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Why does Firefox display only half a page when system is coming out of a resolution change from a game?

    When I leave Firefox open in the background while playing Dungeons and Dragons Online, when I close DDO and open Firefox again, it only displays half a page and the bottom browser bar is less than half way down the screen. The rest is just blank space like the browser was shrunk and then enlarged again, but the display window in the browser didn't readjust again. I have to close FF and reopen again to fix it. It used to be that the empty space was white. A recent update now causes that space to be RED when it occurs. Not sure if that helps any. I don't have any other games right now, so I haven't tested this with other games, but this ONLY happens to FF!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Months ago

    Another user posted a screenshot of something like that earlier this afternoon, and I'm not sure what is causing that to happen. I suspect if may be caused by an extension that was recently updated, but no ideas about which one it may be. I just got back to my computer after be gone for the last five hours, so I don't if there has been any additional information in the other thread or not. This is about all I can figure to do right now until we have more information related to this new issue.
    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • Firefox opens only on taskbar-will not open on desktop

    after uninstalling and reinstalling on windows 8,firefox still only opens on the taskbar where I can view it in thumbnail but when I click on the taskbar firefox icon it will not open up to full desktop view. I know it is open because I can hover over taskbar icon and thumbnail view appears.

    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.

    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe Mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox

  • In Firefox browser only (NOT IE,) Yahoo Mail screen jumps up, then down 1 line every few seconds.

    The following happens ONLY when I use Firefox.
    It does NOT happen when I use IE; and it happens ONLY in Yahoo Mail.
    Whenever I'm in Yahoo Mail, my screen jumps 1 line--alternating up, then down--every 5-15 seconds.
    While composing e-mail, when I get ready to click on something or type something, the screen will jump up or down 1 line and cause me to click on something I don't want, or type something in the wrong place.
    It's also extremely annoying to try to read mail.

    Do you have the Yahoo! Toolbar?
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    >In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General)

  • Firefox opens newe webpages in a new screen and not in a tab-blad

    Even when i set it by options it mostley opens in a new screen ande not on a new tab-page. The last version before this new one, no problem. How it comes?

    Did you check the tab setting:
    * Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    You can check the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • Will a blown battery stop my phone from working properly? only half loads on startup screen then crashes!

    Blackberry curve 8520 pearl

    Hello,
    Well, I think it depends on what you mean by "blown". Blown up? Overheated and expanded? Or just no longer functioning good, with no visible signs of any damage?
    Any of those can indeed cause this situation. To test, you need a known good identical battery to try in your BB. Likewise, an identical BB without problems, to use your current battery in. The results of this test will indicate if the problem indeed is your battery, or something else about your device itself.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • How do I move Firefox from my laptop screen to my desktop monitor

    My IMac laptop was disconnected from my desktop monitor during a session using Firefox. When the laptop was later reconnected to the desktop monitor, the Firefox window continued to appear on laptop screen and not the desktop monitor screen even though the Firefox icon and toolbar shows on the desktop screen. This problem only affects Firefox and not Safari.

    Install Zune on the laptop if it's a Windows PC or use the Windows Phone Connector on Mac. For Zune see the support page for more information. You can also copy your pictures to SkyDrive and from there access them on  the Phone.

  • Firefox is only usable in full screen mode?

    Firefox is only usable in the full screen mode. If in standard mode (I guess that would be what it's called), the scroll bar is unusable, and scrolling down the page with the arrow keys causes Firefox to black out the website. But ONLY in standard mode.
    In both viewing modes, the "right-click" menu exhibits the same symptoms when the mouse travels over the options. While the mouse is hovering over the menu, these options remain black, until such time as the mouse no longer is "directly over" the menu. They become visible again, and this process is repeated once the mouse begins to travel over the menu.
    This only happened because of the installation of Firefox 4.

    You can check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • My Firefox screen is only half as tall as it should be. Why did this happen and how do I fix it?

    Yesterday I brought up firefox and it was only half as tall as normal. Can only see half of the screen. Any thoughts?

    I appreciate your response!
    I did install the application to my desktop (for some reason) so I modified the path, but Terminal said no such file. I opened my error console under "tools" and there were about 30 error messages and 2 warnings. I have no idea what to do with those. It did give me the correct path for firefox, so I just modified the end of the path after "MacOS" with no luck...no such file with the "safe mode" ending. Holding down the option key while opening Firefox didn't do anything but open firefox.
    This is all above my head! I uninstalled and reinstalled a newer version but got the same result, same error messages. I guess until I find the correct terminal path..I am out of luck. Is something wrong with my computer??? ugh!
    Thanks again.

  • Firefox opens and shows the web site but is shifted over to the left so only half is visible. IE8 is fine

    Firefox opens and loads the web site, but it has a blank 3 inch border down the whole of the right hand side, Firefox is moved over to the left so that i can only see half of it. The red cross to close it down is still at the very top right hand corner!

  • 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.
