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 [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#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 easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

My secondary monitor flashes and blacks out after the 10.7 install. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have installed 10.7 and the secondary monitor flashes and blacks out. I downgraded back to 10.6 and the problem went away. I reinstalled 10.7 and the same problem happened again. The monitor blacks in and out especially when the pointer is placed in the dock area, but it still happens all the time. My secondary monitor is a ViewSonic 22 inch that is connected to a DVI to display adapter. Any solutions??
Thanks

Talked to AppleCare and it's most likely the fact that my MacBook has 3.0 USB ports and my non official charging cable can't support that. So yeah, I'll try a new cable, hopefully that's the fix.

HDX16T LCD Screen flashes then blacks out, quick to sleep and out brings it back...

I have an HP HDX16T-1200 CTO with the 1080 edgeless disply. All of a sudden the screen has been doing weird things. While it is working fine, it will start to flicker or flash a little. Sometimes that just goes away, and sometimes the screen then blacks out. To get the screen back, I have to close the lid (put the computer in sleep mode), then open it again. Sometimes it is fixed for hours, or a day... and sometimes it is fixed for 3 minutes. Please advise, thanks!

If you can clean and/or put new thermal paste on the chip itself that may fix the problem. If you search the web for "*ERROR* Timeout setting UVD clocks!" you'll find many threads on Bugzilla about this issue. It seems that this is a long-standing issue (dating back to 2013 I believe).
So are you saying the GPU is overheating? This is the card I am using: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814150605 I have it hooked up to my motherboard on my desktop. Would this be related to something switching between the motherboard graphics and this card?

I have a problem with FF 4.0b8 and Adobe Flash player where portions of the YouTube page or FF window will black out when I move my curser over buttons or tabs, etc. Any suggestions?

I'm running FF 4 Beta 8 with the latest Flash player (10.1.102.64). When I play YouTube videos, the video is loaded, starts, and plays okay, but when I move my cursor around within the Firefox window, portions of the window black out under where the cursor travels. FF tabs and buttons will black out, or parts of the YouTube page (but not the video). CTL-ALT-Del to bring up Windows Security Panel, then CANCEL will restore the Firefox window, plus the YouTube page correctly (ie black is gone and window has been redrawn correctly). I can open up new tabs and replicate the problem multiple times. I've also experienced this problem with embedded YouTube videos (though it's easiest to replicate the problem direct from the YouTube page.) I don't experience this problem at all with FF 4 Beta 8 in Safe Mode, nor the latest FF 3.x.x. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Flash plug-in. Anyone have any ideas?

Problem involving videos played from the YouTube site is much less noticeable after upgrading from FF 4.0b8 to 4.0b9, but still occurs with embedded YouTube videos, where blacking out of other portions of the window still happens.

FF4b7's window gradually 'blacks out' so to speak when running Flash objects.

The window's elements may turn black immediately upon playing, say, a YouTube video. They may also black out when hovering over items like buttons in a toolbar (after Flash has started usually). Happens often.

The only way to fix it is to close the browser. I was able to click the close button in the title bar to do this, even though it had already turned black.

Hi systemBuilder, you are not alone in your frustration. The problem is the plugin model: plugins are allowed to do much more than they can be trusted to do intelligently. Without a change to that, Firefox cannot stop the Flash player from changing window focus.

Prior saved .pdf sometimes has blacked out content. How can I prevent this?

I use Mac OS 9 Maverick, read email in Mail.app and Yahoo.Mail, switch between Safari and Firefox for browsing (because Safari does not allow Flash videos to appear on pages). When I want to save an email or an html file or report as .pdf, I use Command-P and select Save As PDF from the Print popup. Normally, I can go back years later and read the .pdf document in the Home File I filed it in using Adobe Reader. Sometimes, however, when I open a .pdf file--and I cannot tell prior to opening it--all of the content has been blacked out. It is as if someone redacted the document after filing it, which I don't do.
How can I prevent these redactions? The content being blacked out varies from extremely personal and important health files to simple email correspondence I want to save. Sometimes I have paid for a document and have to contact the publisher to send hard copy via USPS due to this problem.
What am I missing here? Do I need a specific plug-in? Is there a way to retrieve the blacked-out content from my computer stored file?

Yet again YouTube videos blacked out in Safari but not in Firefox

Hello,
Is anyone else suddenly experiencing the same problem, which is that videos suddenly won't run in YouTube on Safari.   The video frame is just blacked out.
Copy and past the URL into Firefox and it runs without any problems. I understand this is a recurring thing with YouTube on Safari, but is there a quick solution or do we just have to wait for YouTube (or Apple) to sort it out?
Thanks...BC

One of the following steps should help.
1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Restart
2. Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Web Content:
    Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box for
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
    Check the box next to "Remove all website data".
    Click "Reset".
5. Turn off Extensions/Plug-ins if any that may interfere with Flash working properly.
    Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Best.

Screen blacking out?

I am curious to know if anyone else has had an issue with their screen blacking out while using the number keys during a call? This has happened four times to me, and I called Verizon, but thought maybe I had put my finger on the on/off switch by accident. However, this happened Saturday again, and I was SURE I did not touch that area of the phone. Please let me know if this has happened to you so we can document this issue with Verizon/HTC.

I am having the same issue. It blacks out or the screen flashes like it is "waking up" but doesnt fully wake up. It has happened on and off over the past two weeks. I thought it was due to a message coming through or a call but that's not the case. I will have to bring it in to see if it should be replaced. I am also experiencing ALOT of dropped calls. I have reset the phone but the issue happens as soon as I try to make the call again..... It driving me nuts.

Macbook screen blacking out

Hey! I have a 2008 macbook, and the screen keeps blacking out whenever I open it. Any suggestions or info on how much it is to get fixed?

I have a 2009 MacBook and have the same problem!!!!!!!!!! I thought it was cause I needed to replace the battery and that did but nothing resolved the blackouting issue. I called tec supprt and they walked me through a process to see if it was the hardware. this is what they had me try: turn off it. remove the battery. press the power button for 5 second. replace the battery. connect the charger to the laptop. have someone ready to turn it on, because right after press down at the same time ( option, command, the letter r and p ) at the same time. hold them down until you hear the start up chime twice.
My Mac turned on fine and i was soooo happy that it was back to normal. I even asked to speak to his supervisor and tell him how helpful the representive was..however....I walked away from it for about 15 mins...and BOOM....back to the same poop!!!!!! i was soooo mad!!!!! and the worse part is that I am taking online classes! and so I depend on this laptop like no other! I called back and basically they told me that it seems like the backlight is going out and quoted me at $400 to replace!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
It works ok when I turn it on and once I cn see the desktop with a flash light at an angle...cause its all dark....I turn up and down the brightness buttons.
If you find a solution let me know please!!!!

Flashing/blinking black once awhile on certain website.

Firefox is flashing/blinking black once awhile on my desktop PC. It only happen on certain websites (such as facebook or my personalized iGoogle). It doesn't happen with Chrome nor IE. Weirdly, it doesn't have the same problem on my laptop...
To me, it sounds like certain components are triggering this, but I have no idea what it is... Anyone have similar experience/solution?? Thanks.

Comparing the two systems again, I think I figured out what caused it: '''Kaspersky URL Advisor'''. If I disabled it, the blinking stops. If anyone has a solution other than that, please reply. Thanks.

Screen doesnt get blacked out when on call after the new update

Since the time i Have updated the firmware screen doesnt gets blacked out, when on call after the new update. Because of this option automatically get selected by getting touched cheecks.
any solution?

Please try to update your plugins [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/] Flash is out of date.
Also the Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Importing footage results in blacked out clips with only lo-fi audio

Hello,
I have iMovie '08 7.1.4 (585), and I'm running into some trouble importing footage from my Canon Vixia HF20.
I'm trying to import 1080i footage from a full drive (30 GBs or so), and after a "successful" import sequence, half of my clips are blacked out, with only a low sample rate stream of audio present from the clips.
I've done this import about five times now, in different configurations. The USB connection is directly to my iMac (3.06 GhHz w/ OS 10.6.2), and everything is straight forward. I just can't get iMovie to recognize the clips.
I've successfully imported footage before - it just seems like the sheer amount is throwing iMovie off. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I suspected that as well. I've tried manual and automatic importing, but not in smaller chunks. I'll give that a go in the future....
In the meantime, I read elsewhere of an individual who backs up his flash drive camera content as whole disk images, which then are imported to iMovie for editing. Sounds like he had better luck w/ a disk image - plus the use of disk space is a bit more in your favor, versus iMovie's archiving scheme...
I'll report back with my findings. Thanks for your suggestion.

My macbook keeps blacking out. What does this mean?

So ever so often my mac book pro blacks out on me. I cant log in or do anything on my mac for that few sec. I'm wondering if there something wrong with my system or its something i downloaded?

It looks as if there's a problem with your GPU. With a Retina machine, that would mean replacement of just about everything, except, perhaps, the flash storage drive.
Print you kernel panic when you go to your Apple Store appointment. I'm betting that it's a faulty GPU but they will be able to diagnose exactly where the problem lies.
Good luck,
Clinton

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-acceleration/
You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting

My computer blacks out randomly, not pitch black though if you hold it in the light you can faintly still see the desktop.

My computer blacks out randomly, not pitch black though if you hold it in the light you can faintly still see the desktop.
If you close and open it again it flashes on for a second and then goes black again.
Sometimes after closing and opening it several times it works again, other times it doesnt.
Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks!

My iPod touch does this and I need to find out why
