Most recent version of Mozilla Firefox (Windows 7 64 Pro) will open but not display any content in the open browser window.

After logging into Laptop, Win 7 64bit Pro and launching Mozilla Firefox the browser window opens but the content is blank or black. Mouse over produces change and the only thing I can get to display is when I click in the area the Config/Setup icon would be on the tool bar.
Even uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest versions of Firefox but still getting the exact same results. Yesterday there were many Windows Updates applied to my computer but after rebooting post updates, Firefox was working fine for the entire day and evening.

hello spitcher, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

I have installed iTunes on my Windows computer (XP sp2) but not in any way iTunes will start

I have installed iTunes on my Windows computer (XP pro sp2 x32) but not in any way iTunes will start when new iPad 4 is usb connected with computer
what can be wrong?

I recommend you do as LexSchellings and I are telling you to do. If you have uninstalled iTunes and the reinstalled it from Apple's website and it still does not work, you will have to contact the Apple Technical Support section for them to guide you through steps to try and get it working.

I am having problems launching the standalone version of Lightroom 6 after I have gone through the install and activation process? Lightroom starts to open but "hangs" before any photos in the catalgue are displayed. I have contacted the chat support twice but they have not been able to fix the problem.

I went through the activation process yesterday and shut down my PC when I went to bed last evening. When I got up this morning and turned my PC on and then started Lightrom 6 (I upgraded from version 5) it started to launch but then just hung and became "not responsive". I I then uninstalled and then reinstalled the product today but the same thing happened. What is weird is that when I install from the standalone file I downloaded when I purchased the upgrade it looks like it's downloading the software again over the Internet? I have been having these problems for the last four or five days. I have contacted the chat support folks twice and they were able to get it working but whatever they did did not last as the problem reappeared again once the PC was shut down and then started up again.

Unable to update to the most recent version despite uninstalling Firefox and resinstalling latest version. Help??

Despite installing the latest version of Firefox, uninstalling it, and reinstalling it again, my computer is not reading the most updated version. Furthermore, when I look at the "About Firefox" dropdown, it says that I am running 7.0.1 and that it is up today--contradicting the information below: 3.5.5. How do I fix this?

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is probably messed up by another program that you installed. 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' 
Filter = '''general.useragent.''' 
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. 
Then restart Firefox

I've downloaded the most recent version. 14 May 2014 and have two lines of repeating symbols appearing above the URL and search bar. How do I fix?

When I hover over the symbols, I'm prompted "Subscribe to This Page..." This only appeared after the last update. The symbols are the same as appear to the right of the search bar, and all the symbols that now appear in the Open Menu feature.

Sounds like an incompatible extension.

Why is Firefox opening a separate browser window for each link instead of a new tab in the current browser window?

Suddenly firefox has started opening a new, separate browser window for every link and thing I open. It used to just open a new tab in the current browser. I must have closed down 15 browsers when trying to get back to a previous web page - the back button doesn't work when each click leads to a new window opening! I went into options and my settings have not changed, they still say "open new tab" for links. This just started happening out of the blue today. What's up?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

After upgrading to 10.2.2.12 on windows XP SP3 , itunes does not display any summary info or buttons/options. The buttons work but it does not display the text on the button or the options available.

I recently upgraded the iTunes software to 10.2.2.12 on my Windows XP laptop. Since then, iTunes stopped displaying the Summary info
, the text on the buttons, the various drop down options. The buttons seem to be working but I can't tell what that button is supposed to do
or the option I am selecting. This is preventing me from syncing my photos to the laptop.
this was not a problem with the previous version of iTunes.
Actions taken :
- I tried downloading iTunes again and repairing the install. That did not fix it.
- Don't want to uninstall it as I am worried that I would lose all the songs and the purchases etc.
1. Has anyone encountered this ?
2. Is there a solution for this ?
Many thanks in advance for your time and help

b noir, my Windows 7 machine is having the exact same issue as nsadal, and I have already confirmed that all six of the Segoe UI fonts are installed on my computer. Are any other Windows users having this problem with the 10.2.2.12 iTunes release?
Yeah it does, although the problem predates version 10.2.2.12. It's been around since earlier-on in the version 10s (at least).
It's usually Segoe UI font trouble on the Windows 7 systems too. Unfortunately, the Vortical troubleshooting technique only works on XP and Vista systems, so dealing with the issue on a Windows 7 system is trickier. (There's a bunch of different possible issues relating to the fonts that could be in play, and so the treatment tends to depend on which issue in particular you've got with the Segoe_UI fonts.)

I want to diable Firefox sync between desktop & laptop, but not loose any bookmarks or login details

Have used FF successfully for several years on desktop (XP Pro). Purchased a mini laptop (Win 7 Home/Office) for traveling. Installation of FF Sync worked great and saved a lot of time entering bookmarks, user names, and some passwords. desktop was upgraded to FF5; mini was not. On recent trip discovered bookmarks that worked login access page (these are financial sites so usr & Pw are not stored) yielded "unknown error for FF sync" and randomly "server not available".
When I returned mini was upgraded to FF5. I have the file for desktop sync code & mini device code, but could not get the connect to work. I then found that bookmarks and user names started disappearing.
I don't need this problem. I want to disable and remove the "server storage" of sync info but not delete the info from the individual computers. Pushing the Sync button should do nothing. How do I accomplish this?

(1) Bookmarks
All the apps I see in the "Play" app store for importing bookmarks have pretty bad reviews. What do you think about hosting your bookmarks online and accessing them by loading that page? It is an extra step but might be a useful workaround in the short run. Of course, finding a site that works well also could be a challenge...
(2) Contacts
When you say Firefox contacts, do you mean the ones in a particular webmail site? Or Thunderbird?

Since the release of Firefox 4 beta 8, everytime I go to any Google site, the entire browser freezes. Does anyone else have this problem?

Has had this problem with www.google.com and www.gmail.com. When the browser freezes, it lets me close it but I still have to end the firefox process via Windows Task Manager.

Thanks I had also had McAfee site advisor and disabled it as mentioned and my FF beta 9 is work good for now. Thanks.

FILE UPLOAD PROBLEM SHOWING THE CONTENTS IN THE SAME BROWSER WINDOW

Hi,
This is amit Joshi
I have uploaded content using input tag of type file and posted to jsp as multipart/form-data type
in that jsp i am using following code to display the content in browser but only first content is displayed How can i modify it to show all content in the file ..
<html>

//ServletOutputStream sout=response.getOutputStream();
StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
int count=0;
String f;
f=request.getParameter("filedb");
DBManager dbm = new DBManager();
//dbm.createTable("mms3");
//log.info("In JSP : "+ f);
//dbm.insert_data(f,"mms3");

Well Well Well..
That would not work...
What you have to do is save the uploaded file content on to a location and then pass the fileName as a request parameter to a deidicated which displays the contents of that file.
Just as an example
<html>
<head>
<title>File Upload Display</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
//ServletOutputStream sout=response.getOutputStream();
StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
int count=0;
String f;
f=request.getParameter("filedb");
DBManager dbm = new DBManager();
//dbm.createTable("mms3");
//log.info("In JSP : "+ f);
//dbm.insert_data(f,"mms3");
%>
<%
if (ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request)){
ServletFileUpload servletFileUpload = new ServletFileUpload(new DiskFileItemFactory());
List fileItemsList = servletFileUpload.parseRequest(request);
strBuilder.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>").append('\r').append('\n').append("<xpage version=\"1.0\">").append('\r').append('\n');
String optionalFileName = "";
FileItem fileItem = null;
Iterator it = fileItemsList.iterator();
ServletOutputStream outputStream=null;
while (it.hasNext()){
 FileItem fileItemTemp = (FileItem)it.next();
%>
Name-value Pair Info:
Field name: <%= fileItemTemp.getFieldName() %> 
Field value: <%= fileItemTemp.getString() %> 
<%
if (fileItemTemp.getFieldName().equals("filename"))
 optionalFileName = fileItemTemp.getString();
if(!fileTempItem.isFormFiled()){
 String fileName = fileItem.getName();
 fileItem.write(optionalFileName);
%>
Uploaded File Info:
Content type: <%= fileItem.getContentType() %> 
Field name: <%= fileItem.getFieldName() %> 
File name: <%= fileName %> 
<%
if(fileItem.getContentType().equals("image/jpeg") || fileItem.getContentType().equals("image/pjeg")) {
%>
<img src="FileServlet?fileName=<%=optionalFileName%>"
<%
%>
</body>
</html>a sample code snippet for FileServlet.
String fileName = request.getParameter(fileName);
File file = new File(fileName);
 if(!file.exists())
 return;
// If JSP
String mimeType = application.getMimeType("fileName");
 If you are using servlet
 String mimeType = this.getServletContext().getMimeType(fileName);
 response.setContentType(mimeType);
 response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=\\"+fileName+"\\");
BufferedOutputStream out1 = null;
InputStream in = null;
if(mimeType == null)
 mimeType = "application/octet-stream";
try{
 in = new FileInputStream(f);
 response.setContentLength(in.available());
 BufferedOutputStream out1 = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(),1024);
 int size = 0;
 byte[] b = new byte[1024];
 while ((size = in.read(b, 0, 1024)) > 0)
 out1.write(b, 0, size);
}catch(Exception exp){
}finally{
 if(out1 != null){
 try{
 out1.flush();
 out1.close();
 }catch(Exception e){}
 if(in != null){
 try{in.close();}catch(Exception e){}
} Hope that might answer your question :)
However,this is not the recommended way of doing this make use of MVC pattern.Would be a better approach.
you might think of googling on this and can findout what is the best practise followed for problems of this sort
REGARDS,

Adobe Acrobat 9 installed but cannot read any PDF file from a Browser window

I have a new(-ish) PC running Vista and had Adobe Acrobat v9 installed. However I cannot open PDF files when trying to view from a Browser on a web site. IE8, Firefox and Chrome all produce the same error that claims I need to install Adobe 8 or 9. Have searched "Manage add-ons" and found Adobe enabled. Have hunted around but cannot seem to find a way to fix this. Any ideas? This seems so fundamental that it is difficult to believe that (a) it happened in the first place and (b) that there is not an obvious way to fix it!

Are you on a PC with a profile setup?
Assuming you are,
Rename your profile to something like PROFILE.OLD and then relog into the PC. If the PDF's open without issue, you can remove the Abode folders in the old profile under Documents and Settings\%profile%\Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data.
Rename the new profile to yet something else like PROFILE.NEWOLD. Then rename your PROFILE.OLD to its original name. Confirm that you have removed the above folders from this existing profile. Perform MIGWIZ I.E. Export files and settings to a folder. Now rename the profiles so that the .NEWOLD is the active profile and run migwiz there - bringing in your old settings. These steps are only needed if you wish to preserve all the data and settings from your old profile.
Hope this helps!
