Firefox runs off to the right of screen. Cant fix

firefox is running off to the right of the screen. I've tried a few things including uninstall/reinstall and resizing the screen without success. Any help would be appreciated

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
-> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http:www.google.com -> click OK
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select unwanted search engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE any Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • Firefox loads, icon is on task bar but when clicked the graphics slide off to the right but don't fill the screen & when clicked again, falls back into the icon

    Firefox, Thunderbird & Quicken were active when I loadad & ran a slot machine game. When I exited the game & clicked the icon to return Firefox to full screen, I could see the image flash off to the right side of my monitor screen and disappear. When I again clicked on the icon in the task bar, the reverse happened- the image flashed from the right down to the icon. When I hover the mouse pointer over the icon, the open screens show up with the red X to close but the same thing happens when I click on that box. The other two programs that were open while the game was active are working fine, only Firefox has been affected. I cannot open the program to access any of the menu items as I cannot get the screen image on the monitor. I did uninstall the program and reinstall a freshly downloaded copy I had to use IE, as I am now) but with the same results when I run it. I did chose to save my settings so if something has been changed there then that might be the problem.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • The entire window went off the screen to the right, can see icon at bottom but when I click on it it zips off to the right.

    I was working in Firefox and clicked on something which made the entire window flash off to the right, unable to be seen. The Firefox icon is available at the bottom but when I click it, it sends the screen off to the right. Click on icon again and it will take it from "off the screen" back into the icon. I tried restarting with no change. It only affects one user on the computer.

  • Full screen applications (facetime, dvd, iPhoto) fly off to the right of my screen after about 1 minute.

    When I've got Facetime or a dvd running after about 1 minute the active window flies off to the right, it's still open somewhere else and I can bring it back to work on but it will go again a minute or so later. I can't find anything running that is refreshing or interfering. I've upgraded indesperation to mountain lion incase it was a lion issue but it's still there. i can't find any mention of this on the communities already. If someone could point me in the right direction of how to solve this or let me know if they have had the same issue and we could maybe compare and see what the common issue is.

  • The app store screen is way off to the right and stuck with the spinning wheel. I can't close it. Should I force close? It said iPhoto did not update.

    The App Store screen is way off to the right so I can't access it. It has the little spinning wheel I can see when I swipe up to see what's open. It won't close. Should I try to force it? How much more time should I give it? I did just give Google some accessibily access that it asked for. Just upgraded to Maverick. I thought everything was fine. Says iPhoto needs a retry; but I can't get to the screen to try again. Pages also says it has an update; but also says it just updated.

    Thank Carolyn,
    I had tried that; but to restart it had to close, and to close it had to close the App Store, which was stuck. Finally did a force close. Am now trying to update iPhoto. We'll see if works this time.

    Screen slides off to the right-how do I get it back?

    Quit and relaunch Safari then go to the Tumblr site.
    See if your post is visible.
    If it didn't get posted, you will have to re type it out.
    Tip... write out the post in Text Edit first, then copy paste the message into the Tumblr window.

  • Pictures in e-mail are cut off on the right side.

    some pictures in e-mail are cut off on the right side. When I zoom out the text gets smaller but the picture stays the same

    Sounds like the webpage you are on isn't optimized for devices with touch screens. I would suggest attempting to use a different web browser such as atomic browser or any of the other ones in the App Store. Otherwise you may have to resort to using a Mac/PC to do your homework.

  • My Oracle Support documents print with text cut off on the right margin

    Just a question to check if more people have this issue. When I try to print a document from the knowledge base on My Oracle Support (MOS) it always prints with a lot of text being cut off on the right margin of the page. I tried this with different workstations, OS'es (XP Pro, W7), browsers (IE6, IE8), printers, etc. but it's always the same result. My only workaround is to copy all text and paste it into a text editor. I've logged a service request for this, but Oracle doesn't really seem to care about it and after pointing me to setting margins in Microsoft Publisher (???) and an article on how to export tables on MOS, they pointed to the HTML version of MOS (which has exactly the same issue by the way) and our local IS department for printing preferences. Apparently they cannot replicate this on their workstations, whereas I can replicate at will on a load of different workstations. I know that it's best not to print on paper and read on the screen, but even printing to a PDF writer will cut off text. Does anyone have the same issue with printing documents from MOS?

  • Why does the new version FireFox run slower than the old one?

    I have a fairly new computer but Firefox runs slower than the older version. Can this be remedied?

    That does not sound right. I recommend rebuilding your VI. Beore you do, open the top level VI and press contol-shift-run arrow to perform a manual binary recompile. This makes LabVIEW recompile the whole code. Most times you will not see anything happen but occasionally an error will surface. Be sure to save the VI then rebuild it.
    You may also need to reinstall the LabVIEW run time engine and/or LabVIEW. I would start with the run time engine first.

  • Web pages shuffling to the right of screen and disappearing forever.

    In Safari, I can be typing in an online form, attaching a message to an uploaded image or resume or writing an email and the webpage I'm working on slides or shifts off to the right of the screen to disappear forever. Why? Make it stop.
    What am I touching on my keyboard or mouse that makes it do this?  What combination of keys am I hitting probably unintentionally and this happens?  OR is this just a time lapse thing?
    It's making me batty. please help.

    I did this but on my mouse since I don't have a trackpad. I will give this time and see if this problem happens again. This happened several times daily so I should know pretty quick if that's the case.
    I'm assuming if you swipe a webpage to the right, it closes, right?

  • While in imovie, when working on a project, I can NOT view the project in the right hand screen. I have made several videos and it has always worked before. I am not able to edit the videos because they won't play in the right hand screen.

    The videos that I import (and are located on the bottom of imovie) will show up and play on the right hand screen. But if I move that clip to the actually project area it won't play in the right hand side! I somehow must have clicked something that now won't play the project videos and now plays the clips below instead! Help please I need to fix this! Everythign else works, I can still edit videos, add transitions, music, etc I just can't see it on the right hand side- so I can't edit because I can't see

    See my post here on how to do this.

  • Picture is off to the right side

    I have my Apple TV working pretty well, but all of the content is far off to the right side of my Sony HD television. The Sony settings let me fix it a little bit, but there is still content missing to the right side of the picture and lots of blank space off to the left of the picture. Is there a setting in the Apple TV where I can adjust the horizontal position of the picture?
    Thanks
    Mac mimi   Mac OS X (10.3.7)  

    In the settings menu of Apple TV , at the top is 720P HD and 1080i HD. Using those settings on my Pioneer 50 in Plasma TV made the picture not center.
    Lower down in the settings list is 720P 50Hz and 1080i 50Hz. Choosing those settings fixed the problem, and the movie I was watching is now centered.
