That's a very interesting find. A couple people have been reporting this. But we thought it was Google breaking that page on purpose because they plan to remove that special Firefox search page. They think it's too old and want people to switch to the newer one. But I'm still not sure why being signed into Google breaks that page (and signing out fixes it), I believe Google is at fault here and needs to update the code on that page.
The new Google search page for Firefox is:
<br>'''about:home'''

It's a special page built into the Firefox browser. That's why it has a weird website address that doesn't look like normal websites that use http://www., .com, .net, or .org.

Each time I open my computer, I get a full screen about Firefox and a toolbar that needs a yes or no answer. How do I get rid of this?

I used to be able to press 1 button to get to my Google Home page, but now that I have downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, the "home page" is now information about Firefox and at the top of my computer, there is a question about security that needs me to say 'no' each time. I do not want to go through these steps every time I start my system.

See these articles for some suggestions:

Full Screen with Firefox and Chrome

Whenever I watch a video in sull screen with either Firefox or Chrome, there will be a blank black space on the right of the screen and my mouse cursor will be off. I don't have a problem with Explorer and I ddn't have any problems with Flash Player 9. The problem with Flash Player 9 is there are a bunch of videos online that require Flash Player 10.
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much,
Phil

Try disabling Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337), or update the device drivers of your graphics adapter.

The airplay on my i pad works with music and pictures but I cannot get it to work with safari and mirroring. Can someone help me to get things working? Thanks!

As an IT person, I can put my hands up to the same difficulty. Then on double clicking on Home button, find AirTV symbol amongst Music control
Solved my problem having spent hours looking for a complicated answer. Well done Apple for hiding it so well.

When sending an e-mail I used to just click on contacts then click on the name or group I wanted to send the e-mail to and move it to the "To" area of the e-mail. All of a sudden I now get a full screen in "contacts" and can no longer move a name .

MacBookPro 15
OS - Yosemite
Problem area - "Contacts"
Problem - when sending an e-mail in "Mail" I used to open contacts to get an address. A small window opened, I clicked on addressee and moved the addressee name to the e-mail. Can no longer do this because I now get a full screen in Contact.
Question - how do I get back to the small window in Contact?

Mike,
Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer. Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected. It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

OK. I have connected Apple TV and chosen HDM1 input. Now what do I do? I am only getting a black screen with HDM1 and "player 1 (BD System) at the top of the TV screen. Help!

I have given my hiusband Apple TV for Christmas. We have just connected it and are just seeing a black screen with HDM1 & Player1(BD SYSTEM) at the top of the screen. Next step is to go onto Settings but I can't seem to get this to work. The screen won't respond to the Apple TV remote. I did pair it to the TV by pressing menu and Right for 6 seconds but nothing happening.
We are in a rural area with Satellite Broadband......not sure if this makes a difference.
Help please!

Router is configured; Windows XP desktop cannot get a full conneciton...

I recently reinstalled my XP desktop because it was acting strange and did the same with my wireless adaptor. I am sure that my wireless router is configured correctly, however I have typed in all in athetificaiton information for the adaptor and now I am getting the message "validating indetiy". Any reason why I should be getting this? I cannot get the status to change no matter what I do, even reinstalling will not change it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Go to the router's setup page. Disable wireless security and try the connection. Re-enable it afterwards.

I cannot get chat on farmville with firefox, on face book ? Always have and now cant ?

I notice that the home page redirects to a secure (HTTPS) address. I wonder whether there is a setting blocking this? What if you go directly to a secure page -- will it load?

Your add-ons list shows AVG, ZoneAlarm, and McAfee products. Could one of them be blocking this site? See whether you can add exceptions or just disable them temporarily and test whether that helps.

The typeface of my bookmarks on the left hand side and bookmarks toolbar is too small. Can I enlarge it please.

On the left hand side I have all my bookmarks and bookmark toolbar across the top. The typeface is very small. Can I enlarge it please.

You only see that Bookmarks Menu button with the drop marker on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the Menu bar is hidden.<br />
Otherwise you can use the Bookmarks menu to access that list.

How do I watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with flash player 10.1

I was able to watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with Firefox. I can now only watch full screen with IE.
Why can I not watch iPlayer in full screen with Firefox anymore?
== After Flashplayer 10.1 installed

I have tried in safe mode and as expected it makes no difference. I am still not able to view in full screen like IE it just shows a blank white screen. I was able to view full screen with the same extensions before so removing them has not made any difference.
Thank you for your reply anyway.

MacBook Pro has a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode.

MacBook Pro has started to get a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode. This happened once previously, however, it allowed a safe mode reboot and then worked for a week or so. While utilzing the machine, it started with the spinning beach ball for about 5 minutes, went into a shut down mode and then rebooted and came back up with the grey screen with a circle and slash after a few minutes. For the past three days it has been stuck and will not allow it to boot into safe mode. Any idea or suggestions?

Try starting the MBP with the OPTION key down. If you see two HDD icons, select the recovery Icon. From the 4 option menu, select Disk Utility. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
If you cannot get into the recovery partition, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

Hi Mary,
I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved all the way to the left. Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.

When using mail icon i get a blank screen with No message selected on the RH side. Top left is the word thread in black . all other buttons are greyed out except the send new mail one. Cna anyone help?

Email does not appear when using the mail icon on the home screen. I get No message selected showing on the rh side of my screen with the left hand third of the screen blank. Buttons on the top line are greyed out except the new mail one. The word thread appears in black on the top left hand side of the screen The only way out is to close the screen. all other apps work okay.

Hello calverone,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To start troubleshooting this issue where the Mail application is not appearing correctly on your iPad, I'd like you to please force the Mail app to quit, and then restart your iPad.
iOS: Force an app to close
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Have a great weekend,
Alex H.

Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever, and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
Thanks for your comments
