How do I fix when I enter about:blank in the address window it doesn't open a page?

When I type about:blank in the url box, nothing happens. The address line just goes back to "Go to a website".

Showing a placeholder text is the default behavior of the location bar when no page is loaded and about:blank is not a real page (you do not see it listed on the about:about page), so this is expected behavior.<br />
If it only a problem when the browsing window isn't empty.

  • Javascript openDoc not working. All I get is a new window with about:blank in the address bar.

    I have my resume posted in a website applitrack.com. I can upload PDFs. The PDF file shows up as a link and when I mouse over the link, the status bar shows javascript:openDoc('file', '18292'). When I click the link, I get a new window and "about:blank" in the address bar. This website works fine in IE (the PDF gets launched when I click the file link.
    I tried disabling and uninstalling AdBlock Plus and that didn't help.

    There have been reports of the PDF plugin not working correctly with Firefox 5.
    It may help to change the setting for PDFs here:

  • Why do I see about:blank in the address bar when clicking a link within an email item in my yahoo mail account?

    I have Os X and Firefox 4. When I click a link in an email in my yahoo mail account, the address bar first shows about:blank and then goes on to obtain the address of the link. Is this a virus, or hacker, or what? Thanks for your help.

    You only see the URL after Firefox has made a connection.<br />
    During the initial state you see about:blank in the location bar.

  • Firefox crashes when I paste about:sessionrestore in the address bar.

    I was following instructions on a Mozilla page and copied about:sessionrestore to paste into the address bar. FF crashed as soon as I hit enter, so I tried again and it crashed again. What's up with that?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • How do you fix Clipped Signals in Soundtrack Pro in the Waveform Window

    In "Analysis", under "Analysis Type", I checked (only) the Clipped Signal box and clicked on the "Analyze" button. STP found numerous clipped signals. However, selecting either one or all on the list, the "Fix" and "Fix All" buttons remain grayed out. How do I fix these?
    macbook Pro 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Soundtrack Pro 1.1

    Far as I know, this feature just finds the clipped
    clips . . . it doesn't fix them. You'd have to do
    that manually and there's no good way to do that . .
    . except to avoid them in the first place.

  • HT1926 When I try to go to the itune store it doesn't open.  Just says accessing itunes store.  Can someone help me please

    When i try to get into the itune store it just keeps running and never let me in.  Help anyone.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

    Firefox 3.6.3
    Windows XP
    Otherwise browses OK.
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

    Make sure that you type '''about:config''' in one word and without any spaces in the location bar.
    You can also use "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window - See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences

    I am having a thought. Can you access your Firefox profile folder?
    Open the file; '''prefs.js''' with a text editor. Than add the entry

  • HT6119 I buy a new iPhone s5   When I enter to iTunes Store   The iTunes Store won't connect.    I have a Apple ID     But.  I am from Algeria       Plz how can iTunes Store connect

    What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then see if any of the following fix it :
    - log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in
    - close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    - soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after installed last version...

    Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

    hello, you can set the page that will show up when you open a new tab manually - enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''browser.newtab.url''' and double-click & change its value to any site you'd like ('''about:home''' is the address for the default homepage).

    This is usually an indication that your headphones are not plugged ALL the way in.  The white part of the headset should be flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the headphone plug should still be seen.
