Firefox shows its own menus and web site content as black

For no reason, as far as I am aware as I have not changed any other components / configuration. Firefox now shows all of the content of any web site, typically I use www.bbc.co.uk as a test site as black, although if I randomly click around bits of content are exposed in there true form / colour. I cannot use Firefox as I cannot see the menu's etc.
I have uninstalled / reinstalled / moved to the latest version and started it in safe mode, cleared all of the caches, etc but it still remains black

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will lose all personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • My iPad won't let me stay on some games and web sites. It sends me back to my home page after I have only been on the site a few minutes. How can I fix this?

    My iPad won't let me stay on some games and web sites for more than a few minutes . It closes the site and takes me back to home screen. Why and how do I fix this?

    For Safari you could try clearing its cache and history via Settings > Safari.
    For Safari and your other apps you could close them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Gateway restarting on its own again and again

    I have an application developed on iPlanet Application Server, integrated with the Portal using URLScraper. I am running the Application through the Gateway. The gateway is restarting on its own time and again and I have to log in again every time. At times the gateway restarts after 5 - 10 mins...At times, it goes on for 2 - 3 hours. Also, even when the gateway does not restart, I am shown the Portal Authentication menu page while working on the application. Apparently, something is happening to the session or to the gateway.
    In iwtSession, I found that a lot of sessions were being created and some were destroyed with 5 -10 minutes of being created, while only 1 person was working on the Portal. Could this be the problem?
    What all could be the reasons why a gateway would restart on its own? I have set the maximum idle time of the session to 30 mins. and the max session time to 800 minutes.

    The session are not set on the gateway but rather on the server. The gateway itself has a session with the server. The gateway restarts if it looses its session with the servers or if something else happens that forces the gateway to restart itself.
    Take a look at the web server error logs to see if the web server is restarting during the time the gateway is restarting. You can see this at /install_dir/netscape/server4/https-hostname/logs
    Also the additional log information that would be usefull here is the iwtGateway, take a look at that, at the time of restart. Make sure ips.debug=message when you look at the log files.
    What version of portal are u using ips sp3a ?

  • Good Java2D Books and Web Sites.

    Hello Java2D Professionals,
    Can someone give me a good suggestion on Books and Web Sites for Java2D. I need to update and improve my Java2D skill.

    I presume you plan on creating games using java so i would suggest Killer Java Game Programming:
    http://www.amazon.com/Killer-Game-Programming-Andrew-Davison/dp/0596007302/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-0960852-0405404?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1178124110&sr=8-1
    I know its based off of Java 5 but, all the code should work with the newest version and it shouldn't be too difficult to port it to the latest version.

  • How to turn off email and web site links?

    I'm making my own letterhead template for my massage business.
    I want to turn off the automatic linking to my email address and web site which are both included on my letterhead. It's just annoying that every time I accidentally click on either of those I'm taken to my web site or my computer is trying to email me!
    I only snail mail my letterhead and have no use for the linking. I can change the type format so it looks like the rest of the letterhead, but I can't turn off the linking.
    Paul

    There is an option under Preferences > Auto-Correction to "Automatically detect email and web addresses." You want that one unchecked. There is also a link inspector, second from the right, with options to enable hyperlinks or make all hyperlinks inactive. Seems contradictory to me & I've found that if a document already has some linked text, changing these preferences doesn't change the existing links. And, if you paste in something with a link the link will still be active.

  • How can i password protect some files and web sites?

    How can I possword protect some files and web sites on my mac air so others using my laptop can't access them?

    Set a password for your user; create other user accounts for when other people want to use it. You can create a "guest" login which gets wiped after every logout, if that's more appropriate for them.

  • ITunes Automatically Change EQ Setting Based On Which Airport Express Streaming?  I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different

    I have two Airport Expresses running at my house. Both are connected to different types of speakers. Neither speaker set has its own equalizer, and both require a different EQ setting to sound just right. Does anyone know of a way to have iTunes automatically change its EQ setting based on which Airport Express it is streaming to?

    I'm in the same boat. I have a 6 zone amplifier running with 6 airport expresses to different rooms inside and outside the house. Each has it's own acoustic characteristics. I'd really love to be able to set each airport to equalize based on my SPL frequency sweep I did for each room.
    Setting the eq in itunes won't do it as that is global plus I have many more sources for auiod other than itunes that use the AEs directly.

  • When should a subclass have its own fields and when should it use its super

    When should a subclass have its own fields and when should it use its superclass' fields?
    Hi, thank you for reading this post!
    Let me use a specific example to ask my question.
    public class BankAccount {
         private double accountBalance;
         public double getBalance() {
              return this.accountBalance;
    public class SavingsAccount extends BankAccount {
         private double accountBalance;
         public double getBalance() {
              return this.accountBalance;
    }In the bank account example, both BankAccount and SavingsAccount will have a method getBalance(). Therefore, they
    both require a account balance field. My question is since getBalance() for both classes will perform the exact same
    operation, when should I omit declaring the getBalance() method and the accountBalance field in the subclass, and
    when should I include them?
    My own thought is when we never have to instantiate a superclass object (e.g. an abstract class), then we place
    common fields in the abstract superclass and have subclasses access these fields via protected getter/setters to
    access the superclass' fields. This is the principle of reuse.
    But when you do need to instantiate a superclass and the superclass does need to maintain its own fields, then
    I would need to duplicate the accountBalance field and getBalance() method in the subclass.
    Is my thinking correct or incorrect?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    If SavingsAccount inherit BankAccount.getBalance()...getBalance() would return BankAccount's accountBalance. This is NOT the correct result we want.Actually, I think it's precisely what you want.
    We want getBalance() to return BankAccount's accountBalance when we use a BankAccount object, and SavingsAccount's accountBalance when we use a SavingsAccount object.I seriously doubt that. I think you're confusing a BankAccount with a Customer, who can have more than one account.
    In every system I've ever seen, a SavingsAccount IS-A BankAccount - that is to say, it's a genuine subtype. Now, it may well contain other fields ('interest'?) that a normal account wouldn't, but 'balance' ain't one of them.

  • SES and Web Sites

    Hi there,
    Is it possible for SES to crawl and index web site content ootb or do we have to write a custom adaptor to enable this type of functionality ? Our use case is that we are proposing WebCenter Spaces as our front-end application which will have SES enabled to allow us to natively crawl all the WebCenter assets like blog, wikis, users etc. But we also have an additional requirement that the customer also wants to search legacy web sites.
    I could not see in the list of SES adaptors any that would facilitate crawling of a web site which is what we need to do.
    If anyone has any information on this I would be grateful if you could share it with me.
    Regards,
    Sanjay

    Yes, of course. This is core functionality rather than a connector, hence why you wouldn't see it on a list of connectors.

  • I need address bar to be on firefox screen, its isn't just web search showing up

    I need Address Bar to show on m y firefox screen. I just have web search on my screen, not Address Bar.

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
