My browser opens blank, no page, no toolbars, and no options.

When I open my browser it doesn't display anything. It doesn't show the search bar, bookmarks toolbar or the orange Firefox button in the top left. I have to open it by right clicking on the icon in my desktop tool bar and opening it from there.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

Upon opening firefox the page scrolls up and I lose the menu bar

when I open firefox the page scrolls upward and I can no longer see the menu bar. Somehow I think I clicked on 'blank page' and now I can't view the full page.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 to toggle).

Why is my browser opening the last page visited. How do I change it? I don't want it to do that

Every time I bring up my browser since I installed the newest version on Firefox it keeps re opening the last page or pages visited. How do I change the settings so this does not continue?

Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" or "Show a blank page"
If that setting is OK then make sure that Firefox closes properly.

Opening new HTML window without toolbars and set size.

Hi, I am researching the possibilities for opening a new HTML
window without toolbars and at a certain size. I have found a bunch
of tutorials and even this guide here at adobe:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14192
BUT
I work in Flash 8 and I use Dreamweaver 8.2 (with all the
latest updates). As you know Dreamweaver uses Java Script to
implement Flash into a HTML page. By generating a folder called
Scripts and the file AC_RunActiveContent.js
So I tri the methods described in the above technote. I even
found a guide at kirupa...and at flashkit. I even downloaded an
example file from Flashkit. But any implementation of any of the
methods above in a Flash 8 file implemented with DW does NOT work.
I am not a hardcore programmer. I am more the kind of guy who
finds code that works and moulds it to my purpose. Copy and paste
programming if you may. So its not so easy for me to see why it
wont work and where the problem is. But I do have a suspicion
towards the javascript flash implementation that Dreamweaver does.
So if anyone have guide or tips to how I can use Flash 8 and
DW 8.2 and get flash to open a new HTML window with a certain size
and without scroll or toolbars..that would be GREAT!!
Thanks in advance!
AKIRA

AKIRA,
The TechNotes are from the Cold Fusion site at Adobe. I am
not certain, but I think that you need to be using Cold Fusion on
your websites server to be able to use the functions to which you
refer. Again, I am not certain that I am right here, but it could
be a place to start research into the problem.

CSS Browse Tab When Refresh Page Changes Size and Jumps to Right Size

I'm styling a site and I must have changed something I shouldn't have.
Issue: When I click on the refresh page, the "Browse" tabe in the ribbon on the home page jumps smaller and then back to right size when the page loads. Anyone have any ideas what could be the culprit?
If I click on the tabs the size remains static, this only happens when I refresh the page.
It's really bugging me, any help much appreciated.

This could be related to the "caret browsing" feature, which moves the cursor through the page when you scroll with the arrow key. Or maybe in this case skips around things in the page.
You can turn that using either:
* F7 key
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General mini-tab > ''uncheck'' the box for "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"
Any luck?

I am running Firefox v28. When I open firefox, I get the toolbar and I can even open preferences window but that all! No browser windows (or even help pages).

I use a Macbook pro 13" version 10.9.1. I have tried the obvious fixes ie turning pc off and on. Chrome and Safari run fine so no network issues. I followed the advice to turn Proxy setting off but this made no difference. Really dont know what to do so help appreciated. (the links below - to install the 'trouble shooting' or the 'educated guess' about my system does not open.

Hello Lozzer62,
Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support. The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Cheers,
Patrick

After installing firefox 5 my browser opens blank then i have to restart each time.

You have the latest version of the Flash plugin but in the future, please use the Plugin check: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/]
If you're having issues with 3.6.4 and the Flash plugin, please take a look at [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]] and increase the timeout as indicated.

Clicking javascript links, even help button in FF Options, opens blank new page.

As I said, clicking any link in a javascript element, such as a WYSIWYG editor in the back-end of a Joomla site, doesn't open the link, it opens a new and blank FF window, usually larger than the monitor.
This link behaves this way:
<a id="text_image" class="mceButton mceButtonEnabled mce_image" title="Insert/edit image" onclick="return false;" onmousedown="return false;" href="javascript:;">
Same link works fine in IE and Safari.
This also happens with Help buttons in Firefox dialogue boxes.
This has made Firefox, which has been my default browser for many years, unusable to me.

Thanks for trying, but as I said, everything looks fine....i.e. "show my homepage" is right there in the dropdown like it should be. I even tried changing it to another alternative and then back again. same problem. My guess is that some program I am running is conflicting with FF5, but who knows which one.

Opening new web page using servlet and jasper report. ?

Hello,
I am developing one small web application and implementing jasper report in it. I am using jasper report with servlet. Which is generating one pdf file and displaying in same browser. But I want to open this report in new browser. Which is only display that report window. I am trying it. response.setContentType("application/pdf");
               /response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" // this is basically for downloading pdf file.
                         + request.getParameter("D:/rnext/30-oct-2009/sms/web/jsp/Reports/allstudentsofwholecollege.jasper") + "");
      response.setContentType("application/pdf");
      response.setContentLength(bytes.length);
      servletOutputStream.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
      servletOutputStream.flush();
      servletOutputStream.close();In this code it is showing me attachement file of report.
When I changed the response.addHeader(Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" // this is basically for downloading pdf file.)
It is opening in same window. Please help if you can. It is urgent. please help.
Thanks in advance.
Manveer

Use target attribute with link you have placed on you JSP page. [Look Here|http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp]
Also remove Content-Disposition header if you want to open file in browser.
In latest browsers it might be possible you will see new tab opened rather then whole new browser window, This depends on browser settings.

Multiple browsers won't open a web page, but Skype and Mail work.

turned off my computer one night and the next morning none of my browsers (safari, chrome, Firefox) would open a page...("server unexpectedly dropped the connection") spotify works, and my mail program still receives mail.   What's weirder, a google search sometimes works in chrome, but won't load a page once selected inside the google results page! Also, two other devices connected wirelessly to router work fine.
Any ideas?

The exact same thing happened to me last week.   On May 22 I was able to search the Internet like normal, and then I turned off my computer to go to bed. The next morning I tried using Firefox and found out that not many sites would load. I then tried Safari and had the same issue.   I was able to search for something on google by typing a search term into the search box at the top of my browser, and it took me to the google page as you describe above.
However, when I clicked most links, they would not load. Some would, though, but only a few. After analyzing the links that did work, I realized that the sites that worked were https sites.   Http sites would not work at all.
I had two things that updated on May 22 -- one was Adium and the other was Sophos anti-virus.   The Sophos update was what caused the issue....but only because it must have had a conflict with AVG LinkScanner, which I had disabled a long time ago.
Before I realized that it was the AVG LinkScanner with the real issue, I turned off the web protection features on Sophos.   I then refreshed some http sites, and it solved the problem.
However.....I did some more research and learned that AVG LinkScanner might be the real issue (even though it hadn't updated since Feb. and I had it disabled).   I disabled it because I couldn't find a way to uninstall it. So I found this link:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4724011?start=0&tstart=0
And I uninstalled AVG Link Scanner, and after I uninstalled it, I turned back on the web protection features on Sophos anti-virus.   The http sites still work.
I don't know if this is the same issue as I had, but it sounds so similar. Do you, by chance, have AVG LinkScanner, Sophos anti-virus, or any anti-virus program?

The Hyperlinks and even the active buttons(like Back, Forward, Maximize,minimize,closeetc) on a webpage opened on Firefox page become inactive and there is no action on mouse click on them.

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
I use Firefox Version 3.6.6. If firefox is kept opened for a day or two with some tabs opened, then the active buttons like the "Back","Forward","Maximize","minimize","Close", etc and even the links on the webpage become disabled. On mouse click no action gets performed on these type of links. Once this starts only a PC restart causes Firefox to work normally.
Please kindly help me with a solution and I would request a fix for this issue.
== This happened
==
A few times a week

Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.5.24 Version/10.54

I do not use McAfee software and I am having this issue. I can right-click on the "back-or-forward" buttons and get a history list to choose from (which is far from an improvement), but do not get any response from a left-click. The "back-or-forward" navigation buttons are greyed-out. Also, when I open Firefox (4), I get two title bars at the top with two separate sets of the "minimize", "maximize" and "close" icons. It appears as if one window is open within another, but if I click any of the commands "both" windows respond. It's annoying and cumbersome.

Urgent ! open the same page in query and create record mode...

We have to page in our project
First page include a list show employees(page1) and second page(page2) showsdetail information on employees.
We have two button on page1 ("CREATE NEW EMPLOYEES" and "EDIT EMPLOYEES")
When we press create button we need to create a record on second page.
Second page is needed to open create insert mode.
When we press edit button we need to edit emloyees details.
Second page shows queried record.
can we implement this using faces config xml without writing code . Or do we need to write code.
How can we implement create insert and query event on the same page call (page2)...
Thanks a lot...

Hi,
using ADF, drag the edit button from the component palette and point its navigation case to the next page that contains the edit form.
Drag and drop the create button from the data control palette by dragging the "create" operation of the VO to the page. Also set the navigation case to the edit form and change the pagedef file (the binding) for this "Create" operation to use CreateInsert as an operation

Trouble with opening a 2nd page of Safari and getting Wx or Stock updates?

My ipod touch says it is connected to internet through my home wifi router and all the items under Settings>wifi seem correct. My windows laptop works correctly on the same router. But when I open Safari on the Touch, the first page of the web site opens but I can not then get beyond that page. That is, if I click on a topic in Yahoo for example, I get the message "Safari can not open page, not connected to the internet". Similarly, I can not get my weather updated or the Stocks updated. I get the message "Update Failed". My Touch works on other networks. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I don't recommend using Safari to check your connection. You have some other tools that will let you know what the problem is.
Tap Settings > WiFi > and then tap the blue > next to your network name. When your touch is connected to your network and your router has issued an IP address, you will see an IP address for the device, a subnet mask address, a router address, and a DNS address or two.
Most likely you are going to see a device IP of 169.x.x.x, and incomplete subnet mask address and nothing else.
The most common things to cause this are:
1. WEP encryption
2. Old router firmware
3. You need to reboot your router
All are fixable. See this article for general troubleshooting help with WiFi: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Opening any web page causes hangs and multiple unresponsive scripts

Any time I open up firefox, it hangs on nearly every webpage. After several minutes, an unresponsive script error will appear. Stopping the script does nothing the vast majority of the time. Most often, one to ten more unresponsive script errors will appear. I have already tried resetting firefox and running firefox in safe mode, neither of which helped the problem.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
