Firefox will open but not load any new tabs or windows after a set amount of time.

After about a day of my computer running, Firefox will stop being able to browse the web at all. Any attempt to open a new window, tab, or refresh an old tab will result in the program not doing anything, or opening a new window/tab with (Untitled) in it. The window cannot be navigated away from this, and will not refresh. Closing Firefox does not solve the problem, nor does ending the process. The only way to restore Firefox's functionality is to restart my machine.

hello spitcher, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Most recent version of Mozilla Firefox (Windows 7 64 Pro) will open but not display any content in the open browser window.

After logging into Laptop, Win 7 64bit Pro and launching Mozilla Firefox the browser window opens but the content is blank or black. Mouse over produces change and the only thing I can get to display is when I click in the area the Config/Setup icon would be on the tool bar.
Even uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest versions of Firefox but still getting the exact same results. Yesterday there were many Windows Updates applied to my computer but after rebooting post updates, Firefox was working fine for the entire day and evening.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

IPad will open but not display information entered on a form sent as a PDF.

iPad will open but not display information entered on a PDF file. Same file will open and display all information on my iMac. Anyone had this problem?

I think that you are trying to view a form fields PDF file and you cannot see the content that was filled in on those fields. Form fields will not show in the mail app or in iBooks. Download Adobe Reader for the iPad. It is free and it offers a lot of features for a free app. Save that PDF to Adobe Reader and see if the text in the fields appear.

Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.

Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.

Oh wow, looks like a new feature.
The "page" links in a stylesheet with the address "resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css". If you remove that reference, then the image displays in the old style.
'''''Edit: Please skip the rest of this post and check out the next one.'''''
There might be a more elegant solution than that, but you could use a bookmarklet to strip out that link when you want to view the page in its old style. A bookmarklet is a snippet of JavaScript you save on the Bookmarks toolbar for quick access.
First, copy the following code to the clipboard (it's all one long line):
 javascript:var ssheet=document.querySelector('link[href="resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css"]'); if(ssheet)ssheet.parentNode.removeChild(ssheet); void 0;
Next, if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar, use View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar to display it. (If you aren't using the classic Menu bar, press Alt+v to call up the old View menu. Right-clicking the gray area just below the page address also allows you to display the Bookmarks Toolbar.)
Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar (or Mac equivalent of right-click!) and choose New Bookmark.
Paste the code into the Location box (the second box).
Then type a useful name in the Name box (e.g., Oldstyle Picture) and click Add.
Now, when you want to tweak the image display, click the button to run the script.
Manual clicking is a hassle, so it might make sense to look into other solutions. (Greasemonkey didn't seem to work; I think it might not run on .jpg files.)

ADF EBS Integration - How to open the ADF page in new tab or window

Hi,
We are building ADF custom applications and want to integrate them with EBS R12 (12.1.3) through Responsibilities and Menus.
We have achieved session sharing and launching the Custom ADF app from EBS menu. The problem is, the Custom ADF page opens in the same page.
Is there anyway to open the ADF application in new tab or window while launching from EBS Menu ?
Highly appreciate your help on this.
Thanks,

Firefox will not open any new tabs since windows update

I have windows 7 64, and recently, when windows automatically updated, my firefox will not open any new tabs, manually or when opening a link...

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

Iphoto will open but wont load

My iphoto on my macbook will open but the gear circle just keeps turning and turning ... nothing happens, the pictures will not load, will not recognize iphone. I tried deleting the app and re-installing it but same thing happened. Help. thanks

Try the following to see if you possibly have a corrupted iPhoto library -
Launch iPhoto while holding down the option key on your keyboard.
Select Create New... from the dialog that appears.
See if it opens normally with a blank library. If it does, the problem is with the old iPhoto library.
If that is the case, first thing to do is make a copy of your old iPhoto library, so you will have a backup if anything further goes wrong. Then relaunch iPhoto again holding down the option key and selecting the old library. You will get the gear circle again. Force quit and then follow the steps in this Apple article for rebuilding the iPhoto library.
Best of luck.

How do I set what page will open up when I click new tab?

I just downloaded something from the internet and ASK is now my default page when I open up a new tab. I managed to set what page I wanted when I open up the browser, but when I am in the browser and I click NEW TAB it goes back to ASK. Any ideas?

You may need to remove an Ask extension. You can check on the Add-ons page:
Tools menu > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions, then disable/remove unwanted (or unrecognized) extensions.
The actual address for the new tab page is a hidden setting. To adjust it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Command+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

Firefox will not load wanted/allowed pop up windows, a new window will open, but nothing loads.

Firefox will not properly load wanted pop up windows from allowed site. It will allow the pop up to open, however nothing loads, it is just a blank window. I have not always had this problem and have not changed any settings to cause this. After the problem started I upgraded to version 3.6.7, cleared all recent history, and turned off pop up blockers. No change.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a week ago

THESoLUTION is here :-) right...
1. you must go to control panel>programs>un-install programs
2. find any versions of java and un-install them (in my case i had something called 'kiwee'.
3. un install and voila!
This solved my problem anyway , apologies if this is not your issue

Firefox is open but not responding

I recently began having this issue with Firefox running in the background after closing the browser. Issue is intermittent but it occurs more often than not. Issue can occur by simply opening Firefox and then closing it without visiting any website - my default homepage is about:blank.
This issue began immediately when I updated Firefox from 24 to 25. The extensions I have are Noscipt, Adblock Plus and Fireshot. All are very popular. It appears that if I disable all extensions, then the issue doesn't appear. But if I add one of the above extensions, the issue appears. Therefore, it doesn't appear related to any specific extension - just the fact that there is any extension.
When I uninstalled Firefox 25 and reinstalled Firefox 24, the issue disappeared. When I updated to Firefox 25 through the upgrade process, or even through a direct 25 install without going through 24, the issue reappeared.
What is interesting is the issue does not occur every single time nor is it connected to any one specific extension or profile as I created a new profile and only imported my bookmarks.

But I shouldn't have to do that, right? Chrome and any other program I use in Windows doesn't require force-closing in the Task Manager. Been a Firefox user for years and did not have to do that on a regular basis like I now need to for 25.
I've not seen any official report from Firefox taking some accountability for this issue as an official bug - just the usual reply of trying Safe Mode and it being an AV, Firewall, or Extension issue.

MAIL on my MAC does not load any new mail or delete any mail in any of my other folders

I've been having this problem for a couple of days now. Its as if MAIL just doesn't respond to anything. I can't get any New MAIL to load. And if i try to delete anything from SPAM, JUNK... and so on. They won't delete, they just show up again after deleting.
I restarted the computer, and checked all my settings as well. I also uodated the computer.
MAIL works from my iphone ans ipad. Just not MACBOOK PRO.
Any help is appreciated.
Jimmy

Drafts, ToDos (Notes), and Outbox are found normally in the Mailboxes folder but do not usually appear in the On My Mac section. As for Deleted Messages that may be a remnant from before you used an IMAP account or if you at one time configured Mailbox Behaviors in Mail preferences to keep deleted messages locally instead of on the IMAP server.
