Firefox opens with a blank screen and reduced size.

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
I check ebay listings each day, and when I click a sale item, Firefox always opens with a tiny sized screen 1" x 1/2" with just a blank face to it. It does not open the ebay page, nor my usual Google home page. This just started three months ago, and it is not caused by an add-on. IE and Chrome don't do this. What could be causing this?
== This happened
==
Every time Firefox opened
== User Agent
==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.70 Safari/533.4

Try http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
Note:
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
You can rename ''localstore.rdf'' to '''localstore.rdf.sav''' to test if that solves it.
Then you can restore the customization by copying ''localstore.rdf.sav'' to ''localstore.rdf'' if it didn't work.

  • Firefox opens with a blue screen and no options of File, Edit or Tool. Simply blue screen with close options in top right?

    There is a blue window that comes up when I open Firefox. There is no options for File, Edit or Tools. And there is no bar at the bottom, there are simply the (Close, Minimize...) in the top right.

    hello Steffen47 , [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940393#answer-377118 from another user] we found out that this might be related to malware active on your pc. please close all firefox windows and try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|running firefox in safemode]] (by pressing the shift key while you're starting it). in firefox safemode go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove the entry named "Codec v1.0" or any other addons that look suspicious (toolbars etc.) & you have not installed intentionally. afterwards see if you can run firefox normally again...
    please also do an in-depth scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & keep firefox and your plugins up-to-date in order to stay safe on the web.

  • The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes

    The application maps is not working. When I try to run it opens for a few seconds with a blank screen and then closes.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • I've had my MacBook Air for not even a year and about 2 months ago i tried opening my Iphoto, but it continually sits with a blank screen and the loading wheel just spins. Someone help :(

    I've had my MacBook Air for not even a year and about 2 months ago i tried opening my Iphoto, but it continually sits with a blank screen and the loading wheel just spins. Someone help

    Option 1
    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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • IPhone 4S - Phone App opens with a blank screen

    iPhone 4S - Phone App opens into a blank screen and I have to reboot the phone in order to restart the app and be able to use the phone.  The problem appears intermittently.
    How can I fix this so that a reboot is not necessary?
    Thanks!

    Try a restore. If that does not work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

  • A 2nd copy of firefox opens with a black screen when opening Firefox

    After Firefox loads with the home pages, a second copy of Firefox also opens with one black screen. The black screen has the same url as the 1st tab in the 1st copy of Firefox, with one addition as follows:
    1st copy, 1st tab url: www.newsmax.com
    2nd copy (no tabs) url: www.newsmax.com/mainpop.htm
    I'm using Windows XP, sp3, and Firefox version 10.0.1.
    It does the same on another desktop with Windows 7, same Firefox version(10.0.1).

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • IChat is opening with a blank window and greyed menu items after I did a full restore from time machine (OS 10.9)

    I recently did a full restore of my system from a time machine backup. Now the only thing that doesn't work is iChat. It opens with grey menu items and when a window finally appears it is blank. I tried deleting preferences files and the message cache, and I tried refreshing the keychain but nothing works.
    I'm using the mid-2013 MacBook Air with the latest OS.

    HI,
    OS X 10.9.x does not have iChat
    It has Messages which can do all the thing iChat did (minus iChat Theater) but with new interface that tends to highlight the use of the iMessages account which was added at Mountain Lion (Messages 7.x)
    Was the machine running OS X 10.9.x before the back up ?
    Have you tried starting in Safe Mode ?
    If this work then Restart normally.
    This restore from a Backup, is it using the same Mac User account ?
    (i.e. have you "migrated" some stuff to a new Mac User Account)

  • Firefox opens with tiny blank window.

    I recently stopped using the session manager feature of the Tab Mix Plus extension so I could use Firefox 13's Tabs on Demand feature. Since I made the switch, I've been having a strange problem. Usually (not always, but maybe 4 times out of 5) when I start Firefox, instead of displaying a normal browser window it displays a tiny blank window. The window is just wide enough for an icon and the min/max/close buttons. There are no toolbars or chrome of any kind (not even the Firefox menu). The window is resizable, but resizing it doesn't reveal any contents.
    I can fix this by starting Firefox in Safe Mode (which properly restores all of my open tabs) and then restarting the browser, after which point it works normally until I have to restart it again. So nearly every time I open the browser I first have to open it in Safe Mode and then restart it.
    I've tried disabling Tab Mix Plus (which I still use for other features), but that didn't help. I'm not sure which of my other extensions might be causing the problem. Has anyone else seen this issue? I'm stumped about what could be causing it. Thanks in advance for any help!

    I was about to say earlier: Are you sure that solved your problem? As disabling then re-enabling your addons shouldn't have solved this problem so easily.
    I really doubt Flash is causing this. You could have a corrupted localstore.rdf file. Or it might be possible there's a problem with your session restore files. There might be extra copies that shouldn't be there causing this.
    Go to '''Firefox button <img src=https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/images/2012-03-27-09-22-48-1204f1.png> > Help > Troubleshooting Information''' then click on the '''Show Folder''' button.
    Once the window for the profile folder opens, close Firefox. Then look for a file named localstore.rdf in that folder and delete it. Restart Firefox and see if the problem stays gone. That file remembers the size & position of your Firefox windows. Maybe it needed to be deleting manually. The Safe Mode "Reset Toolbars" choice madperson told you to use was supposed to delete this file and I think it did since you lost the organization of your toolbar icons. But this is just to be sure.
    '''If that doesn't work, try Step #2:'''
    <br> With the window for the profile folder still open, look for files named sessionstore-#.js.
    <br> Ex. sessionstore-2.js, sessionstore-3.js, etc.
    If you see these files, temporarily move them to the Recycle Bin in case we need them later. The file with the highest number attached should be your latest, most recent backup of your tabs & windows. Ex. sessionstore-8.js vs. sessionstore-9.js
    To compare, tell us what size your original sessionstore.js file is & what the size is of the highest numbered copy of the same file is. Also I'm wondering how many tabs you have restored when you use Firefox Safe Mode? You can guess/estimate.
    If no numbered sessionstore files are found, I'm pretty sure it's a addon responsible. One of them could have a new bug since Firefox 13 changed some code.
    Try disabling add-ons this way instead of with Firefox Safe Mode:
    <br> '''Firefox button <img src=https://support.mozilla.org/media/uploads/images/2012-03-27-09-22-48-1204f1.png> > Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    <br> (or Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled, if you don't have the Firefox button)

  • I can't download apps! Every time I try, it asks me to chose a security question and I try, but I just comes up with a blank screen and I can't choose a question. If I click no, I don't want to put security questions, it doesn't install the app. HELP!

    I can't do it! I am willing to add questions but I can't because it just shows me a blank screen. I even tried rebooting my entire iPad2 and that didn't work. I know it is not a certain app because I tried multiple ones.... HELP!

Any suggesions? Help!?!

    Hi Grace Be,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The articles below may be able to help you with this.  I've summarized some of the key points below for you.  Click on the links to see more details and screenshots.
    Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
    Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
    Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
    Start up your Mac.
    If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
    If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
    If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
    Perform a Safe Boot
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
    Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
    If your Mac starts up as expected, immediately try restarting.
    If the Safe Boot does not work, or the restart after a successful Safe Boot does not work, go to the next section.
    Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
    Reset the NVRAM / PRAM.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
