Firefox will not launch. The screen goes black for several seconds, then returns to the launcher drawer.

Installed Fennec 4.0b2 on my Acer Liquid running Android 2.2. When I tried to launch application, the screen goes to black, with a grey bar at the top with the word "firefox" within. This screen persists for several seconds, before the returning to the previous screen.

Thanks for the report. This is a known bug that only affects Acer Liquid phones. We're working on it, but we don't have a fix ready yet. For details, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606194

  • The screen goes black for about 1/2 a second.

    The screen goes black for about 1/2 a second. Is it time to panic?

    I don't see any common link. Sometimes it is just one 'instance', sometimes it is several in a row. But there doesn't seem (to me) to be any sort of common circumstances. (Other than that I am using the computer!!)

  • The screen goes black 2 or 3 secs after lifting the lid, but comes back on if I disconnect the magnetic power lead, after that it works fine with or without lead. Anyone had this problem, and is it symptomatic of a serious fault

    It could be a software issue. I would reinstall the OS. You don't have to lose or reinstall any apps from archive and install. This way, your user folder remains intact but you get a fresh copy of the OS.

    Firefox will not start in normal (hour glass for a second) or in safe mode (closes after choice box).
    I tried all of the following with no success:
    - uninstalling and reinstalling mozilla with no success.
    - End all firefox.exe from the task manager and then open again the firefox from quick launch or desktop or program files folder.
    - Change the firefox.exe name to firefox2.exe
    - Start in safe mode and choose several alternatives after choice box, but nothing happen.
    Please help.

    What is your computer system, and what Firefox are you using?
    Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

  • Help I just installed the latest update on my IPhone4 and now I can't open any of my stored podcasts. When I hit the podcast icon, the screen goes white for a second and the goes back to the opening page with all the icons. What happened?

    Help! I just installed the latest update on my IPhone 4 and now I can't access my podcasts. When I hit the podcast I on, the screen goes blank for a second and then opens to the home screen with all my icons. What happened?

    Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • Screen goes black for 3 seconds in premiere CS5 every time I click

    This is the first time I run Premiere CS5... On a fresh system install.
    I suspect it's not playing well with my video card, a Radeon HD 4870 with 1GB Ram... Very standard stuff.  I am running window 7 64 bit with 12 gb RAM, a week old build. I have all the updates and latest drivers, sigh. After Effects CS5 runs fine, Maya 2010 runs fine, Quicktime runs fine... What gives.
    Here's what happens: I only need to launch Premiere, right away I get the problem. The screen goes black 3 seconds before the prompt to create a new project. Once I create the project, the application workspace comes in, but if I click any menu, drag a tool window (whatever they are called), the screen goes black 3 seconds then comes back. Its basically impossible to work...Huge drag.
    Update:
    The problem stopped after I went into the 'device settings' in preferences and set the device to 'none'....When I clicked on the device settings panel, my monitor went black, and there was a 'no signal' warning that came up, as if the DVI-D  signal was dead. I was able to restore the signal by hitting ctrl-alt-del which switched me out of Premiere onto the desktop. Clearly, there is some issue with video. I switched back into Premiere and was able then to set to no devices.
    I'm not doing any capture at the moment, but I can only pray that it's some sort of bug related to not having a device connected? I plan on bringing footage from a RED in the next month. I upgraded to CS5 specifically so that I could use more than 4 gigs of RAM and for the new features.

    THank you for sending this.
    I followed the benchmark directions, and I get an error at the final step
    when I run the script:
    line 99
    Error: path not found
    I tried for an hour different things, namely to re run the whole test
    procedure, deleting the output files, etc... he script is looking for
    something in the preview files that it is not finding. I think the procedure
    was written for a previous version, because the metadata settings are
    different in my version of AME, and I don't know how much that affects it.
    Also, AME increments the file names when it renders them so that I did not
    get the right output file names at the first render. I had to turn off
    incrementing and manually name each clip before rendering. The vb scricpt
    looks for these names, so I understand it is important. I can't figure out,
    however, what the script is looking for in the preview folder and not
    finding.
    After spending almost two hours trying to troubleshoot the script, I gave
    up. I can tell you tho that it takes about 6-7 minutes on my box to encode
    all the videos.

  • Firefox will not start; new profile fixes it for 1 time, then 2nd time its back to broken

    Windows 7 x64, ff3.6.8
    ff3 will not run, clicking on .exe will not begin any app in taskmanager. the most i get is when clicking ff3 from the taskbar in win7 it will flash as if it is trying to do something, but nothing happens and the flashing stops.
    uninstalled ff3.6.5; reinstalled 3.6.8, still same issue.
    i created a new profile and started ff3, ff3 started & i got to a generic home page. i closed ff3, copied my bookmark file from the default profile to the new profile, restarted ff3, same problem as in the beginning.
    i created a new profile & again it starts up, but when i close out, even without copying the bookmarks over (i was assuming that was the corrupted file), it will not run the 2nd time.
    i have done this for 7 profiles and all of them work the first time, but none will work after that even without copying any profile information from the original default profile.
    in addition i cut all the profiles out of the profile folder and cc'd to another location on another drive thinking that'd prevent the default from corrupting the other files, nothing.
    brief history(sorry for the long post)
    I ran a windows update prior to leaving on vacation, shut the PC down & when I came back the pc wouldnt boot. reset my bios to default and finally got back into windows & it finished the update.
    when i got back in, ff3 was giving me problems and kept hanging up for some reason. so i hard reset & tried to implement my OC profile in bios. i was not able to get back into windows w/ my OC profile again, so i again went back to default bios.
    ever since then ff3 will not work. ie8 works fine, no viruses reported thru mse, i cant figure it out!
    any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    well i kinda fixed it i spose...
    i deleted everything in appdata under mozilla & macromedia and deleted the plugins folder from my installation folder for ff3. uninstalled ff3, reinstalled ff3. now everything works fine. just have to redo my bookmarks & settings.
    sorry to waste anyone's time...but hopefully if someone else has the problem, now they can fix it. peace.

  • Hi, today I was making a FaceTime call when a friend of mine knocked my iPhone 4s onto the ground. The screen turned blue for ten seconds then the phone rebooted. What happened?

    I haven't noticed anything wrong with the phone, I just want to know what happened and if I should do something about this.

    After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery.  I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
    Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
    She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
    After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
    I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
    Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • My ipod touch is flashing white on and off, I hold the buttons down, and the screen goes black- but the apple logo does not come on. What do I do?

    So I have had this problem before, and know that you hold down the top Power button and the Home button, at the same time, for roughly 10 seconds, or until the apple logo comes on.
    The problem is, when I press the buttons and the screen goes black, like it's supposed to before the logo pops up, the apple logo isn't appearing.
    I was wondering if that's because my I pod touch was drained when I plugged it in to charge, and I tried to turn it on when it was still charging?
    What can I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
