Google and wikipedia have black backgrounds in firefox, white in explorer. Why? I changed no setting.

I'm running Vista 64, have Windows color scheme set to aero, not high contrast, and firefox background color is set to gray. I don't like this white font on black background I'm getting in Google and Wikipedia. These two websites are fine in explorer. There must be a way to change this, right?

I solved it myself and maybe someone else has the same "problem".
Google. It's Google. I played around a bit with safe mode and when I disabled the ad blocker the videos came back.
Google have decided not to let anyone watch their videos if the ads are blocked by AdblockPlus. Maybe this applies to other blockers too. On Maxthon, ads can still be blocked as it's still relatively small. But FireFox is now forced to up their game or knuckle under.

Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. How to revert it?

I'm having trouble with something in firefox, it's quite minor but still bugs me. Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. I can't remember what I did to change this if it's my fault; if someone knows how to revert it I'd be thankful.

cor-el : thanks for the pointers! I wish the solution isn't an add-on every time ... if such long-standing behaviour is going to change, the least that could be done is put in an about:config option to get back the old behaviour.

I woke up this morning and google and gmail no longer work in firefox. I get the endless loop error

I woke up this morning and google and gmail no longer work in firefox. I get the endless loop error.
I have the latest version of firefox and it is running under win 7 pro.
it was working great since I installed it 3 weeks ago and I use it every day.
the error reads:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
However my cookies are still enabled and and i have never changed my settings

WORD doc x files show lettering changed from black to white with black background, colors have black background

WORD doc x files received open with black lettering changed to white with black backgrounds. Color images have black backgrounds. There is no issue for non MAC users. How can I open the document as sent? Thank you.

Pages (any version) is not a word clone, and may not digest Word documents as accurately as their native Microsoft application. Pages v5 is also far from feature/functionality complete, and that only compounds this issue.
Suggest you download/install the free LibreOffice and open the Word documents with it. Do the artifacts persist in LibreOffice?

Possible to have black background iso white?

Just got my Nano-8GB and I'm very pleased with it.
One question however, especially for 'Cover Flow':
Is it possible to have a black background instead of white (so white text + pics on black)?
Next that its seems nicer with pictures (also better contrast) it also heavely reduces battery drain because 'white' requires more power'.
With regards,
EiSl

As with the post above mine, it is true that regardless of what color scheme is being used it will still use the same amount of power to light to screen. The actual setting of the brightness effects battery life though.
With this being my first ipod, and my first non-cd based mp3 player I have ever had, I was actually expecting a more customizable UI. Now I know this is no phone, but my phone allows me to select different color schemes and I can even use the computer to design new ones from scratch of literally any color combination I want. Also basically any phone that supports pictures lets you set pictures as wallpapers, where the photos on the ipod I cannot figure out if you can even do that. The photos are just there to look at if you go to the photo menu? Not really the most useful thing in the world there for me.
I'd also like the option to remove the giant grey music note taking up half the screen on the 'now playing' screen when I don't have any cover art. I am shocked by a extreme lack of settings, but I guess I was just expecting too much~!
Would be sweet to have some sort of theme manager in iTunes.

It needs to be restored by someone. You can do it, and set it up as a new phone, or the buyer can do it.

IMovie transitions and titles have black behind them

When I first installed iLife, everything worked fine. All of a sudden the titles and transitions have black behind them as if it's not keying right. (eg. the time and date graphic has a black bar behind it that should be there and the comic book look just shows black instead of the video.)
Am I the only person this has happened to?

Hi duff_golf - welcome to the forum!
Firstly, regarding your original post correction - for a short time after posting you can still edit your post. A small icon appears to the left of the other icons on the top right corner of your post. Click on this, edit your post, then click on Edit Message (I think it's called) in the bottom left corner of the Edit screen to republish your edited post.
Now to your problem. The first thing I would do is to close iMovie then delete (trash) iMovie's preference file. It's found in your User>Library>Preferences folder and is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Don't worry, iMovie will create a new .plist file with the default settings when next opened. You may need to go to iMovie>Preferences in the Menu and change some settings to suit your own preference.
Hope this solves your issue. Sometimes the preference file can become corrupted and this can cause iMovie to behave strangely.

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it? I want to stop my husbands downloads appearing on my ipad, and vice versa.

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

I can't use up my store credit balance. I want to change my store to redeem a gift from a friend in the Norwegian store, but it says that I'm unable to do so because I'm in the American one, and I have to use up all my credit before I can change. Help?

I want to change my store to redeem a gift from a friend in the Norwegian store, but it says that I'm unable to do so because I'm in the American one, and I have to use up all my credit before I can change. How do I use up all my credit when I have $0.54?

You can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries (we are fellow users here on these forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

How can I change it? It makes me nervous , as it demands serial number, but e-mail i've got from Adobe doesn't contain any serial number or invitation or something like that.
