I cannot click certain things on firefox and don't know how to fix it.

Okay so this problem started today. I know nothing about computers so a detailed response would be really helpful. When I go on any website, I can't click certain things. For example, on Facebook, I cannot click to update my status and I cannot click anything in the top blue bar. Nothing is blocking them, my cursor just won't click them. I can't download music from sites or do anything that I want to do. I am not sure if it is Firefox or if it is just my computer, because a couple days ago my cursor wasn't working at all unless I plugged a computer mouse into my laptop. I really don't want to download another browser, so I wanted to check here for some solutions. Do you think it is a hardware program? If so is it an easy fix? Thanks!

That problem can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Resized firefox's zoom default and don't know how to fix it

Hello,
I have Firefox ver. 24.0 and it seemed that the zoom was larger than normal but it was it's default size. I've tried to find a solution and it showed going into config, ect. I've accidentally typed a certain number when I was carelessly typing and pressed 'enter'. It is now way, way, too large. When I went into Firefox, all you see is the file button that shows the whole screen! and I've tried using 'ctrl' and '-' but it did not work. I've tried re-downloading Mozilla Firefox but it seem to keep its default! I've even downloaded an older version of Mozilla and yet all I saw was a large 'file' button. Is there someway this can be fixed?
Thank you.

hello PyongPyonsaeng, you can perform the following steps to change the value again "blindly":
# open firefox and press ctrl +L (this will put the focus into the location bar)
# type '''about:config'''
# press enter twice
# type '''devpix'''
# press the tab key
# press enter
# type '''1.0'''
# press enter again & hopefully you should be back to normal visibility now

I clicked "full screen" under "view" and don't know how to make it small again.

I clicked "full page" under "view. Now I want to make it the regular size again and can't find out how to do it.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hey so here is a tip to avoid it '''in future''': look in front of the Full screen option (or anything that you click upon). In this case it says F11 is the keyboard shortcut. So you'd know how to bring it back or restore it.
And solution '''for now''': Press F11!
Hope it helps.

Keep getting error and don't know how to fix...

ok, I keep getting this nullPointerException error.. and I have no clue what I've done wrong.... I believe its on the client side of it... because when I run just the client.. the try catch should make it be like "can't find host" but instead.. it just sits there.. the cursor blinking.. and Idk why.. so if you could please help me!!!!!!! heres the server and client code

ok so that was a silly mistake I made... yet it didn't fix the problem... whenever I run just the client, shouldn't it not find a host and not just sit there blinking? but when I do run the server then run the client I get this error from the server side
java.lang.NullPointerException
at SocketServer.main(SocketServer.java:32)
which is when it starts the ObjectOutputStream and such... so I can only assume the problems on the client side, I bet its something easy too that i'm missing.. lol

Running win-7, I get MSN's inane homepage when I open Firefox and don't know how to change it to (for instance) Google.

I've just switched computers and downloaded Firefox onto my new machine. It runs Win-7, so I get MSN's inane home page with celebrity news and ads every time I open Firefox. How do I change it to, let's say, plain vanilla Google?

I hosed my fs...and don't know how to fix it

When I started up my box the other day, I got the message that the filesystem had been mounted x times without checking, and that I could manually check it or hit ctrl-D to reboot normally. I've had this before so I just hit ctrl-D and now all hell has broken loose. During bootup now, when trying to mount the fs, I get a long string of "Unrecoverable Error" and am unable to go further.
So I pop in my 0.4 install/rescue CD to try and run fsck or something to get back into my system, but have never done that before and have no clue. Is there something I have to pass at the boot: prompt? If I don't, then I cannot access my system, can't run fsck and can't do much of anything. I'd rather not just do a reinstall, as I'd like to try and fix this first. I've tried to do some searching, but haven't found anything except how to run fsck, which doesn't help because I can't even get to that step yet. My only net access now is at work, which is monitored so I can't spend a long time searching...if someone could just point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it
Thanks in advance
[EDIT]: Well, nothing like finding the answer 30 seconds after you post a request for help :oops: . Maybe someone can just confirm this for me. At the boot: prompt when I bootup to the CD, I can just pass "init=/bin/bash" and will be able to access my filesystem? Or do i need to pass something like "root=/location/of/root/partition". Those are both things i found. Anyway, I'll take 10 lashes for finding the answer after I post for help

well it seems that I completely hosed everything, plus I actually want to try out the 0.5 new installer, etc., so I'm just going to reinstall and pay more attention this time :oops:...thanks for all the help and advice

Page palette appears to be very strange in Indesign (and don't know how to fix it)

So one day, my Page Palette just went cuckoo in Indesign.The bottom area, where you can normally delete, add, or shows you how many pages there are, or the very lower right scretch corner are all missing. I've tried to go to Palette options and see it is a "View" issue, but nothing seems to bring those functions back.
This could either be something Very simple and I am an idiot, or it is something alot more major, which I am praying it's not.
Thanks, any insights is great apperciated!!

I right clked on View Background I..., now I cannot see any of the pictures on Facebook and I don't know how to fix it

I right clicked on my mouse and clicked View Background I..., now I cannot see any of the profile pictures or images on Facebook and I don't know how to fix it. Everything is normal on Google Chrome.

See:

*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Why can't it be accepted?
What is "it"?

Hello, Robke100.
I would recommend trying the steps in the article below.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Once these steps are processed, attempt to accept the terms and conditions.
Also, you can make a purchase via the iTunes Store on the computer. This should allow you to bypass accepting the terms and conditions on the device.
Cheers,
Jason H.
