I keep getting a big white box with an "!" within a circle even after constantly refreshing Firefox

When playing a game on PCH I constantly get an interruption which is a large white square with a circle in the middle surrounding a ! symbol. Refreshing clears that up as it skips to a new game which will soon repeat the square, etc. I do get a message above that says an adobe plugin has crashed. Nothing I do seems to stop it for any length of time

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

Big white box with color changing circle blocking google address bar!

There is a big white box with a colored circle in center that's blocking the google address bar. Cant get it off!

Spry menu hover: How to get rid of white box with "false"?

Hi--
I'm encountering an IE issue with a Spry vertical menu bar. When the user hovers over the submenu, white frames appear behind the submenu with the word "false" in them. Of course this doesn't happen in Safari or Firefox.
I was able to fix other similar problems with the menu by following tips posted on another forum. Namely, in the CSS, I disabled an IE hack that caused a white background to appear (menu background has to be transparent on this site). And in the JS, I disabled the following: this.removeIframeLayer(menu);
Here's the URL: http://www.qic-ec.org
Below are the css (1) and js (2).
Any help would be DEEPLY appreciated.
Thank you
Jackie

SpryMenuBar.js
This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

Do you have any suggestions for how to adjust the JS so that the menu functions properly in IE? As I said, I upgraded to Spry 1.6.1 and uploaded the new CSS and JS and the problem is still there. The CSS is the same as in the previous version. The new JS is:

I keep getting the little blue box with the question mark

Hi
I have 10.6.7 system software and my safari is 5.0.4
I have called apple twice with this problem already but nothing has helped except for short times.
I have reset safari about one dozen times and when I do I reset the top 7 items and I've emptied the cache in addition just in case. I've also taken my safari preference plist out of my library and trashed it.
And I've run disk utilities many times and restarted my computer. Each thing I do will solve the problem for a short time, even up to a day or more (or less) but then it comes back. For instance on Facebook maybe 1/8th of the thumbnail images have the little blue boxes with the question marks but most don't. I can't figure it out. Sometimes even the iPAD safari gets them too but my firefox doesn't show them and neither does Safari on my eMac.
Yesterday the question marks even showed up in ONE mailing on all 3 computers with the question marks in the blue boxes (meaning my iMac, my eMac and my iPad) but then it just all resolved after a few hours. This does sound like possibly a server problem except today it's happening (in Safari again) only on this iMac in Safari (not firefox) and not on the other two devices.
One more thing, since they changed my radio on the roof for my wireless internet, the 5.8 phone cuts out the internet when I use it. The problem has gotten worse since they changed the radio to the same frequency as the phone, it's a much faster service than the 2.4 radio. I don't know if this is related or not.
Thank you,
Martha

<Contact your ISP.
Is it possible, Carolyn, that this would mainly and almost always be only affecting the iMac and Safari in the iMac if it were a server issue? Right now Safari has more blue boxes with question marks than ever and the eMac and iPad have none. Firefox on the iMac has none also.
I should try a direct connection and by pass the router and see if that makes a difference.
I will contact them tomorrow but I want to get clear in my head first all the facts and possibilities.
Thanks!
Martha

Since my last update I keep getting a big ads box on the screen & get get rid of it. It literaly blocks my emails & can't even be shrunk. How do I get rid of it

A black box pops up on either top or bottom of the screen that automatically opens on it's own & than shows a small section of open add once you actually close it. It actually blocks me from seeing some things because there is no X shown to close & make that box disappear & is ALWAYS in the way. I did notice that happened after the last Firefox update. Honestly if I can't get rid of it I"m going to UN-install Firefox & go back to Windows only because it's blocking me access to my work.

Hi BigCountrySwtP, thank you for identifying the particular extension.
Normal updates do not include any extensions. If you are offered a link to update Firefox while browsing, you may want to ignore it and instead check for a legitimate update using
Help > About Firefox > "Check for Updates" button

Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks. If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?! I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped. Have any clue what I should do now?

When I forward an e-mail with pictures, no picture is received--only a white box with a little red x..

In my inbox, when I try to forward a forward I have received, which contain pictures, the pictures are not received by the party I am forwarding it to. Instead, it shows only white boxes with little red x's in the corners.

Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

Unable to delete photos from my desktop , I get a drop down box with continued blue/ white bars - now 6 hours

Having dragged 8 photos onto my desktop from iphoto for the purpose of easy addition to an email , I now find that when I dragged them to the Trash bin , they fail to delete.
I get a drop down box with continued blue/ white bars , stating "moving to trash " .
It's now 6 hours and I cannot stop either. Tried to shut down my computer and reboot but it won't let me . I tried turning the power off , but the problem remains .
Any help would be welcome.

Hey !
I have found the solution myself !!!
Go ..... Apple in the toolbar - Force quite - select finder - then relaunch .
Brilliant

HT2506 OS X Preview: Insert a white box with no border?

Hello, I have a PDF document in Preview (OS X Lion), and I'm trying to insert a "whiteout" area--basically a white box with no border or shadow. However, no matter what I do, I can't seem to create an annotation rectangle without some kind of border showing up. Actually, it looks more like a shadow than a border. Am I missing something? Is this possible with Preview?
Thanks!

This drives everybody nuts, and Apple does nothing about it. My guess is there's somebody with a patent -maybe Adobe- forcing them to keep the damned shadows.
The only decent solution seems to be the free app Skitch. Reveiws are 100% negative on the latest version, which has been stripped of features (Adobe, again?), but you can still get the older versions at http://www.oldapps.com/mac/skitch_for_mac.php I use version 1.0.12, which works with Mountain Lion.
There's also GIMP, which is a powerful program but has a learning curve like the Matterhorn.

Why do I keep getting a pop up box asking me to enter my apple id and password - and the id in the box is not mine? Is it phishing for my password? How do I get rid of it?

I keep getting a pop up box on my iPhone asking me to enter my password - and the apple id does not match mine. I click 'Cancel' but it keeps reappearing and interfering with other apps. What did I do to get this and what do I do to get rid of it? Is it someone or something phishing for my password? The only app I recently downloaded was PF Chang's and I got that directly from the App Store.

Try signing out and then back in again by going into Settings>Store>Apple ID:>Sign Out>

Eliminating 'the big white box ' on load

In the second or two before my flash page appears with normal
preloader etc, the size of the flash element is always shown a s a
big white box over the surrounding black page...my background color
is set to black on both the flash and html page containing it and I
try to leave first frame clear of elements that would slow
load...is there an easy fix for this unsightly hiccup to my
intro?

Try to set the flash window at "transparent, windowless" at
the HTML tab in export options.

Thumbnails appear as a white box with dotted line -WHY?

My library is still intact, however, my thumbnails are appearing as a white box with a gray dotted line. If I click on the box to open them, then they are there. I took my computer into an Apple store 2 days ago, they reset the computer and it was working fine. however, once again, I am having the same problem. How do I reset the computer to fix this problem and why does this keep happening?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.

How do I get blue and white boxes and No Matches Found message to stop showing on launch?

This is a very annoying problem. I have a brand new client and right now, the first thing he and every student will see is some ugly blue and white boxes with No Matches Found message. It disappears very quickly. But it happens even when I use a preloader.
If you could help me get rid of this, I would be very grateful!
Thank you,
Ellen

Anjaneai,
I tried a small experiment with a few slides that did not have Advanced Actions, using your advice. If I don't use a TOC, the disturbance is very minimal, but as soon as I add back a TOC, even just the default one, it displays the No Matches Found and the blue and white squares!
At least you found the problem area.
Any other ideas about how we could get rid of this ugly thing?
Thank you!
Ellen

keep getting a pop up box asking me to download photo and video, many boxes appear saying the same thing . I have no devices connected to download anything. I want this to not happen or appear.
This will just keep appearing when I am online.Using Firefox latest version I just installed Window7 from Vista. never happened prior. Windows live Photo Gallery is usually my default to open, but that is from a phone device connected to my computer.

Usually "Flame" does this (a virus that should have been auto destructed 2 weeks ago). It could be another virus or worm. My advice, FIRST scan your computer with antivirus (completely). Don't use free antiviruses. They are not providing enough protection. Then delete all temp. files and browsing history. Remove and reinstall Firefox. (don't install it automatically: ask for custom install at the beginning). It is much better to download it again from www.mozilla.org because your actual version might be corrupted by the virus (IF ANY VIRUS IS FOUND). Anyway you won't lose downloading it again.
PS: Windows 7 includes a very useful tool to scan your PC. Windows Defender. Run it along with the antivirus.

I keep getting the same dialogue box upon opening Firefox but don't know what to do about it

I keep getting the same dialogue box upon opening Firefox but don't know what to do about it "Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard drive is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the browser and fix the problem. If you continue to use this browser session, you might see incorrect browser behaviour when accessing security features." I have gone to tools - general tab - browse files - but it wont let me browse or set a place to staore files. Any ideas?

Try the procedures shown in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Could+not+initialize+the+browser+security+component

I keep getting a big white box with an "!" within a circle even after constantly refreshing Firefox
