How do i get rid of about blank

My PC is firing up a blank page "about blank" nearly every time I click on a new link
It also has slowed my PC down dramatically

Hi cor-el
It is a link is Firefox
If I click on a hyperlink it fires up this blank page and then I get pop-ups
of the un-desireable type!!
However, sometimes I get a blank webpage
It does look like Malware but I am surprised that AVG didn't pick it up
Thanks for the reply if I find anything I will reply back to you
Appreciated

    Turn on pipelining.  This will allow Firefox to make simaltaneous requests to the server.  Chrome has pipeling turned on. Some sites could fail to load with pipeling set on. The site will be old. See "Increase pipelining" in:

    Hi,
    You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.
    Thanks,

  • How do I get rid of the blank space after one paragraph and before the next paragraph startsin Pages '09?  I understand that I should not have a page break mid paragraph but that is what I want.

    Hi stephanie,
    These are unrelated questions/statements.
    Space before and space after a paragraph are controled in the Text Inspector, as you've found out.
    Pages will create a page break whenever there is no room for another line on the page. That break can come anywhere in a paragraph.
    You may be thinking of Widow and Orphan prevention, and the other Pagination controls, found under the More button in the Text Inspector. (If that's what you found, then thanks for the refresher! I hadn't been to that pane for awhile, and had forgotten the variety of pagination controls available.

  • How do I get rid of the blank space at the bottom of the new Firefox menu?

    The new firefox 4 has a different menu system. IT has blank space at the bottom wiht just a plus sign that opens new tabs. I can get that from the + sign by the tabs and don't want it or the rest of the blank space on the bar. I need all the space in the main window I can get. How do I get rid of this?
    Found my own answer, disable Conduit Engine toolbar, whatever the heck that is. Why it's enabled to start with is beyond me.

  • How to get rid of about:blank and allow page to load

    On one particular site, I open the page and click on the link and the link won't load and the search bar just says about:blank.  I've scanned with ClamXav and it revealed a Trojan.  I also deleted all plug ins and still no help.  Here is my computer check.

    I did the check and then it said to click and go to support so I thought it transferred.  I haven't checked the Safari Preferences, I use Firefox and have tried Chrome.  The Trojan says OSX Trojan Yontoo.

  • How do I get rid of the blanks between months in my calendar?

    The new ios7 calendar has blank days to separate the months. How can get rid of them to get the months running continuously like a planner?
    I find the blanks confusing when viewing events that stretch over two months.

    That's just how it's laid out now and there's no ability to customize your view.
    If you wish to, tell Apple
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Perhaps they will consider your thoughts in future versions.

  • How do I get rid of a blank bar between the Title Toolbar and the Navigation Toolbar?

    It's taking up a lot of space!

    Are there any toolbars listed that might cause this?
    *Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to show the Menu bar)
    *Right-click empty toolbar area
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • 10133 ADF LOV: how to get rid of the blank item on top of the list

    Hi,
    I have a fixed list LOV. Because I do not want the user to pick a null value from the list, I picked "selection required" when I created the LOV. when the page has the LOV first loaded, the dropdownlist still has the blank item on the top. If I pick a value and execute, the page is reloaded. Now I access the LOV, it does not show the blank item anymore. How can I get rid of the blank item when the LOV is loaded the first time? Thanks.
    Regards,
    Annie

    I Annie, a workaround is to based your LOV values on a read-only VO or a POJO. Even if your intentions is to avoid to go all the way to the back end.
    Or you can add a "Select One" in the List so your users are aware they need to choose something.
    I tested your case in 10g and 11g and both present the same behavior. I'm opening a bug for 11g. the weird part is that in 10g if you select the include blank item option, actually it adds a double blank space on first load.
    I will update the forum when I get news about it.

  • A window has begun to pop-up when I open Firefox. Purple box with about 20 topics in it. How do I get rid of it?

    It's a purple box that has about 20 topics in it. How do I get rid of it?

    As far as I know, this has never been a feature of Firefox's core. Do you have an addon such as New Tab JumpStart or New Tab King that gave you this feature in Firefox 4? It's possible that whatever addon gave you this feature before hasn't been updated to work with Firefox 5. If you don't want to wait for that addon to update, you could try either of the addons I mentioned above.
    Here's NTJS: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-jumpstart/

  • Messages icon indicates that there is an unopened message but when i go into it the message is blank and no option to delete it. Any ideas how i can get rid of this and stop it from opening up in the blank message each time i open my messages?

    The message icon on my iphone indicates that there is an unopened text message, but when i go into it, it just opens up a blank message, and there is no option to delete it. Any suggestions how i can get rid of this message, and prevent my phone from always opening up in the blank message whenever i go into my messages, rather than just opening as my inbox?
    Many thanks

    Hard restart..  While the phone is powered in, hold the power and home button.   Hold them down and keep them held down.  the phone will eventually shut itself off and reopen.  keep held down till you see the appl elogo, then release.  This will not delete anything off your phone, it will just force all apps to stop their current process.  If you just turn the phone on and off, it will just pick up where it left off.  Good luck
