My taskbar is blank in Firefox. It simply says 'Done' in the bottom l/h side. When I go back to windows the taskbar reappears with all icons at r/h side.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

HELP. Window pops up on Firefox browser that says JavaScript Application, and under that it says 101. There is an OK bitton. when I click OK, up comes the window again. Then after hitting OK again and box goes away, when I move my mouse the box comes up identically again. I even called Apple support. They tried things; told me it may well be some set'''bold text'''ting in Firefox Preferences. This started right after Mac Update Install upon closing. Any help, please. My browser is totally (obviously) stuck in this loop!!! [email protected] jason

When I open a new window, The redesigned taskbar doesn't render properly

If a link is set to automatically opens in a new window, then the Firefox button/Tab bar don't render correctly.
[http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b395/Jblsurfer/firefoxproblem.jpg This is a screenshot of my problem. See inside the orange box]

It is the default action in Firefox to open a new window with the home page(s).
A possibility to avoid that is a bookmarks (e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar) with the location set to about:blank and use Shift + left-click to open a blank window or set the Home page to about:blank and use a bookmark to open the home page.

Cannot not click on menu that appears when i right click my taskbar, as the right click menu dissapears when i move mouse over to the right click menu

PROBLEM: RIGHT CLICK CONTEXT MENU DISAPPEARS WHEN TRYING TO LEFT CLICK AN OPTION
Hi,
Im using Windows 7, and i could always
go down to my TaskBar and Right Click
Icons, and active icons, which would bring up
the standard Right Click Menu list.
PROBLEM
As soon as i moved my Mouse away from
the bottom Window 7 Task Bar to go a couple
of millimeters above to left click an option on
the Context Menu i opened with my right click,
The whole Menu disappears, and this happens in
Firefox version 29.01, other programs in Firefox,
and other such as Skype.
When i was running Firefox 28
i didn't have this problem, can you help me out.
Thank You
Kev Borg

'''PROBLEM'''
'''RIGHT CLICK MENU DISAPPEARS WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR MOUSE TO LEFT CLICK A MENU OPTION ON THE RIGHT CLICKED MENU.'''
''''''YOU CAN'T BECAUSE AS YOU MOVE YOUR MOUSE TO THE MENU YOU JUST RIGHT CLICKED TO OPEN DISAPPEARS BEFORE YOU GET A CHANCE TO LEFT CLICK YOUR CHOICE.''''''
'''SOLUTION'''
'''1]''' GO TO '''CONTROL PANEL''' AND CLICK TO VIEW MENU
'''2] ''' GO TO "'''EASE OF ACCESS CENTRE'''" AT THE TOP.
'''3]''' LEFT CLICK ON MENU ITEM "'''EASE OF ACCESS CENTRE'''"
'''4]''' AFTER YOU LEFT CLICK ON "'''EASE OF ACCESS CENTER'''" IT APPEARS.
'''5]''' LOOK DOWN THE LIST TILL YOU FIND "'''MAKE THE MOUSE EASIER TO USE'''"
'''5]''' THE TOP SECTION SHOWS YOU HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MOUSE COLOURS ETC.
'''6]''' SCROLL DOWN TILL YOU SEE THIS HEADING "'''MAKE IT EASIER TO MANAGE WINDOWS'''"
'''7]''' RIGHT UNDER THAT MENU THERE IS CHECK BOX,
"'''ACTIVATE A WINDOW BY HOVERING OVER IT WITH YOUR MOUSE"
'''8] MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT A TICK IN THAT OPTION BOX, IF THERE IS UN TICK IT AND APPLY AND CLICK OK TO SAVE.
And now you should have No More Problems with your Right Click Menu disappearing when you move your mouse over to the menu to left click a menu item on that right clicked menu.
SOLUTION FIXES PROBLEM.
Thank You and i hope this answer my help any other people who have had this frustrating problem.

HT3228 I have one of the origin iPads. Suddenly when I receive an email only the headings are shown - the body of the text is blank. Also previously received emails have also had the text body removed. Any suggestions as to what caused this?

I have one of the original iPads. Suddenly (from yesterday) when I receive an email only the headings are shown - the body of the text is blank. Also previously received emails have also had the text body removed. Any suggestions as to what caused this?

Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

When i open firefox it keeps saying stopped. I have un-installed then re-installed about 10 times in the last 2 weeks

basically i cant use it to browse the internet. It wont open any webpages from my bookmarks. I re-install it and works for a few days then stuffs up again.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

After Firefox updates I can see my tool bars, but the screen below is blank and I can't do anything in Firefox. I says "Done" in the lower left corner. What's up?

Following the automatic update of Firefox, which happens when I open it, it often occurs that I can't do anything in Firefox. All the tool bars appear, but below is a white screen. When I click on a bookmark, nothing happens except the word "Done" appears in the lower left corner and the screen remains white.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

When I open a New window the window doesn't open with a blank page, it opens with my start-up page!

When I open Firefox, it opens to pages I was on when I last closed it. After that, when I open a brand new window, and I don't use a link, it isn't a blank page but instead it shows the same pages as when I started up Firefox. I don't need two windows of the very same pages! I have to delete one of two of the duplicated pages and then my url into the bar to get to the page I want. I want to have a new window with a blank page

It is the default action in Firefox to open a new window with the home page(s).
A possibility to avoid that is a bookmarks (e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar) with the location set to about:blank and use Shift + left-click to open a blank window or set the Home page to about:blank and use a bookmark to open the home page.

I can't download firefox. When I click on run, I get a window saying that the author is unknown. When I click on run in the new window, another window says the file is corrupt. What can I do about this?

I want to have firefox as my default browser. As this is a new laptop, I hasve to download firefox. As per the instructions, I click on "run" to complete the download, but instead of completing the download, a window appears which says that the author is unknown. If I ignore the window and click on run, I get another window which says the file is corrupt and I can't finish the download and have firefox as my browser.
I have windows 7 and explorer is the default browser and I want to change to firefox, but so far am being prevented from doing so. How can I successfully download firefox?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

I just recently took pictures on my iPhone 4 and when I tapped photos they didn't appear. Then I refreshed the photos app and at the bottom of my camera roll it said restoring now all the pictures that I took are there but they are just blank grey picture

How do I view these photos without them being a grey blank screen

Ok, so I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
- made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
- restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
- My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
- Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

Some of my hot links in Hotmail come up with a blank screen even though it says Done at the bottom. What?

I am using Firefox 5 with Microsoft Security Essentials on Win XP Pro with SP3.

Check to see if you have cellular data enabled for mail.
Go to Settings > Cellular and check the apps under "USE CELLULAR DATA FOR:"

With Firefox running, Office 2007 generates a "Cannot Empty Clipboard" error message when pasting information between Excel cells -- the behavior goes away when I close Firefox. Is there a way to prevent this?

I am running Windows XP, Office 2007, and Firefox 3.6.13.
Whenever I have Firefox running in the background and I attempt to paste information between Excel cells a "Cannot Empty Clipboard" error is generated. I have attempted numerous other fixes for this: Excel and Office settings. But nothing seems to help. When I close Firefox, the errors are no longer generated.

The Skype add-in was the culprit in my case. Disabling it fixed the problem. As soon as I enable it, the problem comes back.

I lost the normal windows bar on the bottom of my page when I have firefox open. No, it is not just hiding and I have to pull it up, I have tried that. I still have it on my desktop, but when I open firefox, it disappears

when firefox is open with anything like yahoo, facebook ect, myh bottom start window disappears. I have tried pulling it up from bottom of screen ect, it just isn't there. How do I get it back

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />

I downloaded som short films, legally. And Firefox shut down, and i had to start over again, but when i went back the short films was no longer on the list and I want to ask how ican get them baack ?

It was alot of small films in approximatly 10-20 minutes and it was alot of them, and i dont want to go back between the websites to start download them again because that took a lotof time.

If it happens again the make sure that you aren't suppressing website colors.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
