How do I fix the black bars showing up on most of the drodown menus, such as the bookmarks or the orange firefox file button? (running windows 7)

Every time a dropdown menu is opened, black bars cover all the selections. The specific black bar will disappear when the mouse hovers over it but all the rest remain covered. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and removed all personal information such as saved passwords and bookmarks with no success.

hello, try to press ctrl+0 ('zero') while you're on the affected pages in order to reset the zoom level or in case this doesn't work also go through the other common troubleshooting steps at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]].

  • How do I get the orange firefox button to show up on the top left corner of my page?

    So, I've installed, and reinstalled the new Firefox 4. It seems like only half the features have shown up. For example, I don't have the orange firefox button in the top left corner. I also don't have the button for bookmarks. On every other machine that I've installed firefox 4 on has not had issues like this. I don't know why I'm having issues on my laptop. If there's a way to fix it, I would appreciate it. I don't mind how it is right now, but I do like the cleaner look and the orange firefox button, instead of the buttons that show up now that are labeled: "File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, etc."

    * You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
    * If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

  • How can I fix the quick time file zh_CN.1proj that is corrupted on my computer.

    How can I fix file zh_CN.1proj that is corrupted on my computer.  I cannot delete Quick Time because of this file.

    The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • How can I fix the problem of a pop up window that appears every time firefix loads titled [Javascript Application] and says "balance.balance is undefined"

    The small "[Javascript Application] and balance.balance is undefined" pop up window is followed by a pop up that shows a caution sign and the number 3. They repeatedly pop back up when I click on the OK button or X, I must click them 10 times before they go away. Then Firefox seems to run normally until I exit and try to return later to Firefox.
    I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it with no effect. I have also run any troubleshooter that seemed to remotely refer to this problem with no effect.
    This does not happen when I load Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. Except for this problem, I much prefer Firefox over either one.

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, probably an addon is interfering here...

  • How do I fix the slow attachment file dialog box in Mail?

    I'm on 10.9.2, using Mail with an Exchange account. Everything works great except when I go to attach a file to an outgoing email the file dialog box takes ~1 minute to open. Only app I've seen this in.
    I've tried the fixes posted for the general file dialog box being slow (e.g. comment out "/net" in the "auto_master" file) to no avail.
    Other thoughts?

    Click on the Firefox menu. Then click "Options". Go to "Applications" tab. Search for jpg and png file type. You will find they have "Always ask" action attribute. Change it to "Save file".
    Hope it will work fine for you.

  • How do I fix the back and forward button feature on my Logitech Unifying mice?

    Ever since the latest automatic FFX update to 6.0.2 my fancy new Logitech Unifying Mice, both the M505 and the M510 no longer function properly in FFX. The middle multi-function scroll-wheel, button used to be the back button when pushed sideways to the left and forward when pushed sideways to the right.
    I've updated software in the Logitech unifying software, I've reset the settings for the button controls. nothing seems to work. Please help

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • How do you get the right fonts to lock, running Windows 7 on a HP Laptop

    I just purchased an HP Laptop DV7 with Window 7 installed on it. I have tried everything I know to get the fonts to adjust and stay. When I use Control + they enlarge but when I go to different pages I am continually doing this. Nothing is staying at the font size I pick. Letters are very small and very hard to read.

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.

  • I've lost the orange firefox tab with the arrow, that was in the top left corner: how do I get it back?

    I've lost the orange firefox tab with the arrow, that was in the top left corner: how do I get it back?

    In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the Bookmarks menu
    *<br>*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"

  • I was trying to figure out how to stop my pinned apps from disappearing after I've shut-down my computer during storms. In the process of trying things I lost the Orange Firefox drop down box in the upper left corner. How do I get it back?

    Question 1 - How do I restore the Orange Firefox drop-down box that was originally at the top of the screen.
    Question 2 - How do I undo the last command I changed
    Question 3 - How do I prevent my pinned apps from disappearing. I have about 10 loaded and it's a pain to have to reload those several days a week. Seems to only happen if I shut down the computer.

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    *View > Toolbars > Customize
    *Right-click a toolbar).
    *Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

    What do you mean with Question 2: ''How do I undo the last command I changed'' ?
    Which last command are you referring to?

  • I upgraded from 3.6 and could not get the orange Firefox button but only a grey one with misaligned commands. When I hit View/Menu Bar even this button has vanished and the screen resembles 3.6

    I use Win7 on a desktop PC. I upgraded Firefox 3.6 to 4.0. Where there should have been the orange firefox button was a grey button 'Firefox' with a small arrow. on clicking this the commands were there, but not properly aligned. There was also no minimise/maximise/exit buttons on the top right of the screen. I checked 'Help' and found no info. I then turned on View/Menu Bar. The minimise/maximise/exit buttons appeared; the grey button vanished and the screen now resembles FF 3.6. However About tells me that I am using 4.0.
    BTW, I also tried various Beta versions in 2010 and abadnoned them because the same problem happened.

    The orange Firefox menu button will only appear if the menu bar is hidden.<br />
    Are you using a custom theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes) ?
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Black bar showing up at bottom of screen during the editing?

    When I add some video for editing to Adobe Premiere, it is fine for a while, after some seconds (when there is a gap between two videos) video moves up a bit and a black bar shows on the bottom of the video. How do I remove this? Thanks for the answers in advance.

    When Premiere is acting weird, restart computer, open Premiere while holding down shift+alt until welcome screen.
    Then clean out media cache.
    See if the will resolve the issue.
