Menus disappear

Using FireFox ESR 17.011.
This just started recently. When opening a menu from the menu toolbar, the menu pane will open and initially display the menu options, but will disappear, sort of. It is almost like it is putting the menu into the background because there is a faint outline of the menu option box and if I click in an area where a list item is, that item will open.
Initially, this was just an annoyance, now it is a hindrance.
Steps to resolve:
1. Restarted in Safe mode - all menus work as expected.
2. Disabled ALL addons - menus still do NOT work
3. Reset FireFox - menus still do not work
4. Uninstalled/Reinstalled - menus still do not work
On the reinstall, I did not delete all of my content and settings. I will need to export my personal data first before I can do a new clean install. I would rather not do this as there is obviously an issue here.
From what I was able to find online, the steps reproduced should have helped resolve this issue, they have not.
What I would like to do, is reset FireFox back to default, removing any and all addons, but retaining my personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc...).

big parts of oracle's cororate applications seem to be certified by oracle to work with the firefox 24 esr release: https://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/entry/firefox_24_certified_with_oracle
i have no idea if the JD Edwards one falls into this category though, and i also don't think it is mozilla's task to support third-party apps that hook into the browser (there are countless ones) but it's rather the other way round...

Word 2003 - Acrobat menus disappear for some (not all) documents

I have a user who is having a very bizarre issue with Word 2003 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When he opens some Word documents, the PDF menus disappear. They are immediately restored when he closes the document or creates a new document. We've tried repairing and uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail. He uses several custom templates, but they are applied at startup to all documents. Any other troubleshooting ideas? Could the fact that he's using Word 2003 instead of 2007 be causing the problem?
Thanks

More information: I just checked the version of the file I had on my hard drive, and it's doing the same thing there. However, the other similar documents in the same folder on my hard drive are not behaving this way, so apparently it's not specifically
a SharePoint issue.

Why do the menus disappear?

I am quite new to Java and I use project builder on my mac running OSX. Anyway I found some sample code and I was wondering if anybody could help me out. Basically when the app is compiled it draws "Hello World" in the window and there are two menus in the menubar -> 'File' and 'Edit', but when you go to the about box the menus disappear until you either close the aboutbox or bring the focus back to the main window.
How can I always keep the menus showing when there are multiple windows in the app. Remember that mac menus are fixed to the top of the screen...
anyway heres the code:

TV and Movie menus disappearing in Apple TV2

Was there ever a definitive answer to the problem of the TV and Movie menus disappearing for users in Australia following an upgrade to i-Tunes? Should I set the location back to the US or is there a workaround?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure you are properly connected to the Internet, and that your location is set correctly, if that doesn't help try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.

Aperture menus disappear!

Following an upgrade to Leopard and 1.5.6, Aperture's entire menu bar has disappeared! I'm referring to the menus at the top of the screen: *+File, Edit,+* etc. Of course this renders Aperture dead right now - which is causing me some concern on a critical application for me such as this.
I've tried most things so far, including moving the app to another Space which is already occupied with open applications. But as soon as Aperture is selected all the menus disappear. The Apple icon (top left) remains but does not respond to clicking.
Anyone else? Help?
Is there an Aperture feedback link I can write to them through?

Clem:
What does ProKit tell us under Frameworks? Why did you refer to that specifically?
Incidentally, my ProKit version is 4.1 also ( +dated Oct 27, the date of the install+ )
I'm now wondering if I create a new user and upgrade it to admin status ( +checking first that Aperture works correctly+ ), then delete my previous admin account, whether I'll get any joy? Has anyone tried that out - other than with the 'guest' account method?
Basically, I have a deadline looming and no application to work with.
I'm beginning to think I was unwise to trust this version would be smooth at all - particularly near any deadline - and should revert to Tiger on my second internal drive and forget about Leopard until it's good enough for general use.
Apple engineers come on these sites can they offer any help?
Addendum:
Could this error be part of the problem? :
+Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.+
I get it when +repair disk permissions+ is run. Needless to say, I don't go tinkering around in the system folder.

After I right-clicked on an unwanted email in Microsoft Web Access and put a filter on it all my emails and the menus disappeared. I can re-access in IE but how do I restore what I have foolishly done in Firefox?

I was working through my emails in Microsoft Web Access when I came across an email from a sender who keeps spamming me. I right-clicked on this unwanted email, saw a filter option and (recklessly) chose it. ALL my emails and the menus disappeared. I can re-access my emails in MWA in IE but how do I restore what I have foolishly messed up in Firefox? When I get to my email page in MWA in Firefox I now see nothing but the movable vertical bar.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Captivate menus disappear

I had looked through this forum and saw some old posts
regarding Captivate menus disappearing after a while working in the
software. This is happening to me right now and it is very
frustrating. In an earlier post, there were two troubleshooting
documents to link to but now the links do not work....
I am on version 2.0 build 1177.
Is this happening to anyone else? It is very frustrating to
have to close Captivate every 5-10 minutes to get the menus back.
Regards,
CJP

Hi all
If you are referring to the menus flashing and immediately
disappearing, the fix is to click any object over in the library
panel. Then they stabilize. This happens after you insert a flash
object on a slide.
Cheers... Rick

Drop down menus disappear in a blink of an eye. If I open more than 10 tabs I can't get to them, the arrow takes me back to the first 10. Only in FF, IE works fine. Tried safe mode and no change. It was fine one day and then not the next?

drop down menus don't work...they disappear in a blink of an eye. This only happens in FF not IE? That includes the menu below! I can't have more than 10 tabs open because the arrow won't take me past 10 it just returns to the first 10???

Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

File, Edit, and Help menus disappearing

Upon starting Adobe Reader 10.1.4 everything appears normal as shown below.
http://i.imgur.com/ucLKz.png
After about 2-4 seconds the File, Edit, and Help menus suddenly disappear, looking like this.
http://i.imgur.com/t3LRo.png
This happens for every PDF opened and even happens if Reader is opened by itself without a PDF. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the issue persists. The Help menu is usable just barely long enough to perform a repair installation, but it does not help. F9 does not bring them back. The system is running Windows 7 64-bit. Any ideas on how to correct this?

Check the JavaScript folder to see if you any files other than the *.BIN file. If you do, then move the extras out of the JavaScripts folder and restart Adobe Reader.

Safari Menus Disappear After Viewing iCloud

I've noticed that the Safari menus sometimes disappear from the menu bar in Lion after accessing iCloud. Is this an iCloud bug, a Lion bug or a Safari bug?

Might be a cache issue...
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

[JS CS3] Why do sub menus disappear?

Hello,
The below script creates a new menu with three sub menus. One of the sub menus invokes a script, while the other two are still under construction. This seems to work except for one irksome thing: When I close InDesign and then reopen it, the menu ("PPcheck") exists but the sub-menus are no longer under the menu. How do I make them permanent?
Thanks,
Tom
#targetengine session

Hi Tom,
I'm not sure wheather it will work, but try two things:
1. put quotes on session so it states
#targetengine "session"
2. don't put "false" in eventListeners
it's just a guess, but maybe it works

Back buttons in menus disappeared!

Hello,
I have started making a new DVD that has a whole tree of menus that I took a lot of time into customizing and making them just right. The problem is, that I saved my project, closed iDVD, and reopened it. I opened my project and went to preview it. I went into my menus and there was no back button! That's crazy! I was stuck in my menus! I had to get out of the preview and go into the menus, but the back button dissapeared! I REALLY don't want to rebuild my menus! Someone help!
Thanks in advance,
Dustin

Hey! I found a solution and the possible thing that caused it!
The Problem:
NEVER EVER put a button below the back button!
The solution:
Smart delete the messed up menus - rebuild the menu that you smart deleted, put all of the menus from the deleted menu in the menu you created.

Why are my menus disappearing after 3 seconds?

I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.9.1 a few days back. Today my menus started behaving strangely. When I mouse-down on a menu (system or application) the menu closes by itself after about 3 second. It's making it nearly impossible to go into submenus because they lose before I can find where I am going.
In addition, after about every 50-75 characters, my keyboard is refusing to type character and giving me a beep. I don't know if this is related. I have to backspace and the keep typing.
Any ideas on what can be going on?

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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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.
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 boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 boot 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, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Layouts and Pods menus Disappearing For Hosts

During a group session today with about 6 hosts, a few of them realized that, part of the way through the session, Layouts and Pods had disappeared from their menu options at the top left of the screen. They were still hosts, but couldn't access those two menu options- despite being able to access them earlier in the session. What would cause this and how can it be prevented?

Did this get resolved? My whole meeting with layouts, polls, pods reset to a standard sharing layout. Is this another bug?
