You could have changed the zoom settings somehow. Try going to the View menu, down to Zoom and select ''Reset''.

I work with students developing HTML/CSS pages. Having trouble displaying pictures and graphics offline in web pages. IE displays student graphics, but Firefox will not. Help?

Students create web pages offline with normal C:/ drive designations. After they have all coding issues worked out, the server address is added prior to uploading code. Graphics are placed in an image folder and code is managed in a pages folder. All located on C:/ drive. However, FireFox will not display pictures. IE will display. Suspect I need to change settings, but don't know what or where.
Thanks, LD_Gregory

You not are using the latest Spry files
The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
If you replace
<script src="http://www.adelxt.net/SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.js" type="text/javascript">
with
<script src="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/accordion/SpryAccordion.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
you will notice that it works as it should.

My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite lock has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page

My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page. Anybody having a similar experience? I believe I've taken the last update to Yosemite within the last several weeks but this behavior did not start in concurrence with any system maintenance events.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

The latest version of Firefox has totally stuffed my computer. Nothing now works properly and all my settings for web pages have totally disappeared.

My mbp has a defect of the AR coating. How has anyone else sorted this out

MY MacBook has developed horrible staining because of a manufacturing defect in the AR coating. It is out of warranty. Has anyone got a cure for this!

Hello from Dubai. I have the same issue in my Macbook Pro 15" Retina Late 2012. ARE Coating started to come off all of the sudden. Took it to authorized Apple service center, they kept my machine for a week came back & said Apple REFUSED to fix it hence we can't do anything. As per the service center they can't fix it unless Apple approve the repair and in my case & so many others they are blaming the customers for Defective AR coating.

Pictures not shown in albums (as per my folders) in Revel after 'access all media' ticked - sort it out Adobe!

Hello,
This is really frustrating after subscribing to upload all my photos to revel.
After ticking 'access all catalog media' I have the following two problems:
1. Pictures are shown individually in Revel, and not in their respective albums as per 'my folders' in organizer. Unless I create another new folder in mobile albums (another 50-plus!) - but why would I do that and create a lot of work?
2. Not all pictures have imported, especially the most recent pictures haven't uploaded.
I have updated to 12.1 Elements - I am using PC Windows 7, and Adobe Revel app on Android.
This is annoying please help Adobe!
Rich

Hi Rich,
Answers to both of your queries are available in step #2 under section "How to get started with Mobile albums?" of my blog: Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.: Mobile albums and Elements Organizer
Please let me know if you still have queries.
Kind Regards,
Surendra

C'mon Apple! So many people having problems with their email after upgrading to Yosemite. Sort it out!

This is driving me mad! Uploaded Yosemite and my email was fine for a few days then bam! My virgin.net account goes down and cannot send emails from it at all, now a couple of weeks later cannot receive emails on that account at all! Which is not good seeing as I have two thousand beautiful expensive photographers business portfolio Z cards with that email address on it! So many people having the same problem so obviously its to do with the software, I thought by now programs would be tested to the max before being released?

I have had the problem with Mail not connecting to one of my ISPs, and could not find a fix other than allowing insecure authentication - which I am very reluctant to do.
Today I was at work, using my MacBook Air, and I noticed that it was connecting OK. So at home I rechecked my iMac, but it was still not connecting. Then I compared the settings in Mail > Preferences > Advanced, and saw that they were different.
- the working account on my MacBook Air: port 995, Use SSL checked
- the failed account on my iMac: port 110, Use SSL unchecked.
I checked the Use SSL box, and the port instantly changed from 110 to 995, and the connection succeeded.
Try this and see whether it helps - it may simply work with this particular ISP?

How to reset Firefox Health Report uptime stats which are too larger than what it should be

I'm on the latest Firefox beta channel and up to date to the date.
In about:healthreport page, I'm seeing a wrong count of time under "time open": http://i.imgur.com/XdlB17q.png
This is almost 4 years that I can't keep firefox open in this month (I'm sure I didn't waste 4 years of my life on the web either).
Is there any way to reset this count ? Seems like a really useful feature but not working fine for me.
Thanks in advance!

I have no idea how Firefox works out the date used in FHR . No doubt Tyler will comment later.
I would hazard a guess that it may look at the date of creation/modification of the files possibly the date of modification of the profile folder. Whatever it is doing it may be doing it wrong. (I don't think Tyler has filed a bug yet. He probably works Monday to Friday
I guess it would do no harm to look at your file dates. See if any look wrong and as if they may explain the unexpected time period.

When I open Firefox my homepage comes up (good!) but often a second page/tab comes up with an annoying ad. My pop-up blocker is enabled and there are no exceptions listed. How can I stop this?

I recently had a virus attack and have cleared them with Malwarebytes Anti-malware. This problem didn't happen before the attack. In addition to happening when I open Firefox, occasionally an unwanted ad will pop-up in a new tab while using Firefox.

Firefox can store multiple home pages, check to make sure that the ad site is not listed as a home page. See [[how to set the home page]] for details.
You should run a scan with some other scanners to ensure that malwarebytes did not miss any. Some scanners you can try are:

* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Lavasoft Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html Spybot-S&D]

Why is my firefox slow to respond to every single mouse click and every typed word, slow to load web pages, and sometimes crashes?

When I click on things, it takes forever before firefox responds. When I'm typing emails or what not, I will type and the word will show up a few seconds later. Nothing is immediate anymore. Even when I try to use the scroll bar, it is slow to respond. Sometimes firefox clashes and it tells me that the plug-in container has stopped working.

I went to Settings > iCloud > Documents and Data, then turned off documents and data, and now it is back to normal. Apparently you cannot take advantage of both on the iphone 4 and 4s.

Can I keep firefox at a 125% zoom level? I use my HDTV as a monitor and would like the view to be larger without having to hit "ctrl +" on each web page.

I would like firefox to default to a 125% zoom level. Is ther a way I can do this through firefox or through my desktop?

The following Add-on will allow you to set whatever default %-age works best for you. After install, go to Add-ons > Extensions > Default FullZoom Level > Options, in the Options window, "Default FullZoom Level (percent)". That will set ALL pages at your choice.

Firefox always hangs. Spinning Beach Ball appears. Must Force Quit repeatedly. Have re-installed and refreshed with no change. How to fix?

Every time firefox is launched, the spinning beach ball appears, sometimes immediately, sometimes within a minute or two, every time. Must force quit. I have re-installed Firefox and also have refreshed with no change. Unless this is fixed, Firefox is unusable. I am running OSX 10.9.5 on a 17" MacBook Pro.
I cannot access any information through Firefox, because t always hangs.

Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and OK the restart.
''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any less crashy?

When I startt firefox I ued to have a screen that hat my most used sites I could click on to change now Its not there how do I get it back?

this screen had about 8 boxes with my top visited sites shown and came up when I divided to another tab now its a white screen until it use book marks I think this started when we had some problem & downloaded the newest version of firefox

You System Details List shows "browser.newtab.url: about:blank", so you currently have set the about:newtab page to an empty page.
To get the about:newtab page you can reset the browser.newtab.url pref to about:newtab on the <b>about:config</b> page.

Why won't Firefox 3.6.17 on Mac load certain web pages but will load others?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.17 on Mac (10.4.11), can anyone explain why I cannot access Yahoo, Google, Cnn, Bing, but can access other sites? Those web pages starts to load, then display (Untitled) in tab with a blank page. I have cleared everything in my cache and cookies and reinstalled Firefox and nothing helps. This problem started a few days ago and previously there was no problem and I didn't make any changes to Firefox. Thanks for the help.

Found a solution to the problem. The permissions for the firefox.app file were not set to admin - read-write. After adding this permission using the get info menu item when right clicking the file name in the applications folder, the tab now automatically opens when clicking on Email link.
