New-Tab thumbnail screen freezes after deleting last thumbnail?

Deletion of the last of the offered thumbnail choices can freeze that tab.
Happens when using the new New Tab feature on Firefox v13.0.1, installed 6/17/12.
I can still delete the entire New Tab screen and then start another.
I am running Win XP+SP3 on an Acer Inspire One netbook with a 1024x600 screen. This seems to happen every time I try it. This morning's update informed me about this new feature, so I was trying it out.
To reproduce:
Click New-Tab and the 9 thumbnails almost fit the screen (pic1).
I scroll down to see the bottom of the screen (pic2).
I click the [X] to delete the bottom right thumbnail.
The thumbnail images shift up a little, then the screen image freezes (pic3).
I have screen images for pic1-pic3, if they might be useful.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • [Open a new tab] doesn't work after the last update!

    Firefox just updated today and now all the sudden when I try to press the [+] to open a new tab nothing happens. Mousing over it even says it's still the same button. It's odd and rather inconvenient.
    Firefox is updated to Version 29.0.1

    Hello,
    try to uninstall your Firefox and then reinstall your Firefox.

  • Whilst using FF20.0.1 and now with FF21 the new tab thumbnails fail to open for each new session. Why?

    For a long time my chosen websites appeared as thumbnail images on the new tab page when I began a new session, maybe since about FF15, I don't recall for sure. Recently, however, whilst using FF20.0.1 this behaviour stopped and none of the thumbnail images for my selected websites opened up, although the links to them remained and this behaviour has continued to FF21, which I have been using since yesterday (19th May). This is not a serious issue, but I do like things to work properly and to understand why they don't. I don't know why there should be a relationship between the two events, but the problem began after having opened the new tab page and before the images opened up I clicked on one of the links - where the thumbnail image would normally be - to go to the website; thereafter FF failed to retain a memory of the thumbnail images from one session to the next. By the way, I never empty my history cache only my main web cache that has previously had no effect on my new tab thumbnails, not since about FF15 or so anyway.

    Cor-el, hi.
    When I opened FF about ten minutes ago I noticed that the new tab thumbnail image I had brought up from my previous session had been remembered, so I opened some of the other websites listed to bring back their images too; I then shut FF down, re-opened it and the new tab page to find all the images had been recalled. Next, I shut down the computer to determine whether or not the images were getting lost that way; on rebooting the computer and launching FF I again found the images were still there. Now I closed the new tab and emptied the main cache (43 MB); on opening the new tab the images were still opening (you will recall that when the new tab thumbnails first came out they disappeared on emptying the main cache). Bearing all this in mind I have not yet tried your suggestion of temporarily disabling the add-ons in safe mode because if the thumbnail images came up that would not currently tell me anything. Also, the problem I described in my first post does not remotely coincide with the installation of any add-ons, which have not been recent. Given then that my thumbnails are appearing after the cache has been cleared where does FF get them from now? I still don't understand this recent behaviour and why for the moment the problem is not occurring. Thanks again.

  • Passport screen freezes after a long call

    Hello,
    I've got my PassPort since fall october.
    Although I am quite happy with it, I have noticed that after a long call, say 15min or more, the screen becomes slowly responsive. It doesn't fully freeze, though it is very slow to bring back the unlock screen. After unlocking the screen, the device behave nearly as expected although I have also noticed that the keyboard doesn't light. And if it locks again, it stays slowly responsive until I unlock the screen. To bring back the normal behavior there is nothing to do but restarting the device.
    OS is : 10.3.0.1418
    Radio is : 10.3.0.1419
    Device is full encrypted as well as the SD card.
    I've got very few third party apps, say Whatsapp, BBM meeting, radio.fr, beta zone, device switch.
    I've removed everything on the device and did a clean, full install with link but I still experienced the same issue.
    Any idea ?
    Regards,
    LB

    Ira,
    Thanks for replying. No, I did no test without any third party apps. I'd prefer not being forced to uninstall WhatsApp because I'm using it a lot ... I was using it in the past with BB OS 7 and had no issue so far. However I saw a lot of threads dealing with screen freezing after calling but none of them mentionning issue with WhatsApp. Do you have any link about this?
    Regards,
    LB

    I have iPad air, screen freezes after FaceTime call and cannot get back to home screen, have to power down and turn back on to get back to home screen.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi RWD2,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below. 
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:

  • TabPlus, new tabs, don't open after typing in website addresses

    I have used TabPlus (now called Tab Mix Plus) for years; I usually have quite a few tabs open; everything has worked perfectly until FF updated me to FF8, beta. Today, I tried to download & install version 8, newer than the Beta, but that did not help.
    Tab Plus' new tabs, don't open after typing in website addresses; the cursor line to type in the next letter or word remains, blinking. I cannot open anything in any new tab that I have added by pressing down with the right mouse button and clicking on "New Tab (after this tab)."
    As this problem did not exist in any version prior to 8, perhaps the developer has to do some updating. If not Firefox needs to fix some bug.
    I have been with Mozilla FF since its beginning; it has been by favorite browser, but now, out of frustration, I have been using Chrome.
    If you can solve this problem for me, I shall be happy to return FF to being my Default Browser.
    All the best,

    Is there a way to control the webpage that new tabs start at?

    Rizly,
    As i mentioned in the above post, you should remove the references of :old and :new when you are trying to use the global variables. These values are only significant when you the talk about the record in the table.
    For the scenario, you explained, your trigger would insert two records....The trigger would be fired twice.. once during the insert and once during the delete. The audit table will have two records indicating both the actions..
    Take a look at this example below...I am artificially manufacturing a user id in the package test_pkg and using that in the insert trigger. As i explained above, you dont need the :old and :new references because the user id is not a column in the table . hence the :old and :new references have no relevance.
    Also note that, for the delete, I use the :old value and for the insert, I use the :new value.
    for update, I assume you want to store the old record and hence used :old (you can of course use :new too..technically.).
    I don't have access to a forms environement, but the user id logic should be similar to what I described below.

      2     id number,

  • Firefox is opening a new distorted window instead of a new tab like it always has until last night.

    Last night when I got home from work (no one has access to my laptop when i am gone) I went to access my email just like I always do. I clicked on the link (Hotmail on MSN's home page) and it usually opens a new tab where I can then sign in. Last night it opened a new window with no access to any toolbars. I have "reset" all my options, reinstalled firefox and nothing is working. I continually get this distorted window, I can't even type in a new address for a new web site. Help!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last night after work

    Nope - that didn't work either! What I have at stage 3 above is this readout:
    * browser.link.open_newwindow; status: default; type:integer; value:3
    * browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction; status: default; type:integer; value:2
    * services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.link.open_newwindow; status: default; type:boolean; value:true
    I didn't change any values: they were already at the values above: and I presumed the '3' referrred to the first line....
    I didn't want to mess around with the '2', because apparently there are dragons in there!

  • New Tab Contains History Even after clearing history and Privacy setting is set to "Never remember history"

    I am using Firefox 14.0.1
    I currently have "Never remember history" selected in the Privacy section underneath Tools->Options. I have even used the clear all current history option.
    When I click the plus sign to open a new tab a history of the sites that I have visited is appearing. This is after clearing the history and closing all instances of firefox and opening it again.
    I'm guessing that the "new tab" is using something other than history because when I type in a website it is not suggesting my recently viewed websites...as expected history was cleared.
    I'd really like to know how to clear my entire history including the one that is used on the new tab section.

    Did you drag a bookmark or history item to slots on the about:newtab page?
    Changes manually made on the about:newtab page are stored in the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder under the pinnedLinks key and blockedLinks key.
    If you delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder then you need to reset the <b>browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone</b> pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the <b>about:config</b> page and close and restart Firefox to assure that the chromeappsstore.sqlite file gets initialized properly.<br />
    Otherwise the about:home might not be working.

  • Grey Screen Freeze after 10.6.7 update

    I have 2 iMacs. My wife's is 2008 3.06 Ghz 24" model with Snow Leopard. Just updated to 10.6.7, and on re-boot we entered perpetual grey screen freeze ups. Followed guidance from support article - specifically to remove peripherals (attached were 2 USB devices - HP inkjet printer and WD 500G portable HD used as Time Machine. Also connected to LAN via RJ-45) After re-boot I changed network to airport to access LAN. When I re-inserted ethernet jack the grey screen immediately came up. Tried various combinations and ethernet connect always kills machine. Any ideas? I'm holding off on 10.6.7 update for other iMac.

    Because I've had strange problems with past system update downloads, I now always get my system updates from http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    I always use the Update Combo version. It installs a fresh set of all previous updates as well as the new one. This gives you a fresh beginning with system 10.6.x. Since I adopted that practice, I've had no more issues with updates.

  • [SOLVED] GNOME login screen freezes after 3 seconds

    Hello,
    today I installed Arch-Linux the first time. I had some issues during the installation (following https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Anleitu … Einsteiger (its the german version, seems to differ a little from the english version)), but everything went good until I installed GNOME. Now the login screen freezes everytime after quite exactly 3 seconds, unless I press [strg]+[alt]+[f2] fast enough to switch in tty2. Then the screen will only freeze when I switch back to tty1. Once the screen is frozen, I can't switch to tty2 anymore.
    I think the problem has something to do with my nvidia hybrid graphic system. During the installation I installed the packages bumblebee, bbswitch and primus, but uninstalled them because I thought they could be the problem. But although I uninstalled the packages, the "Stamina-Mode" status led is turned on after the system has started and the "Speed-Mode" status led not. I think that's a little bit strange, because I can't imagine which process is controlling these leds.
    So I ran just
    pacman -S xorg-drivers
    and I had to create the xinitrc-file (because I could not find this file in /etc/skel). Now the default GUI appeared after I ran
    startx
    (I saw some windows and a clock). After that I installed gnome, changed the xinitrc-file in my userhome and got the freeze after a reboot.
    I don't know if it has anything to do with my problem, but I get the following error-messages everytime I boot:
    [drm:ibx_irq_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun
    [drm:intel_dp_start_link_train] *ERROR* too many full retries, give up

  • Screen freeze after OS start

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Book Pro. The screen freeze right after starting the OS.
    I can not move my mouse (usb or pad), Typing has no effect.
    -> I switch OFF/ON many times: do not work
    ->I tried safe mode, but nothing work
    ->I tried Reboot/Startup holding your Command-S key down. But I can not type anything.
    The clock is still working, and the airport still find if internet is ON.
    It seems that everything work except the mouse and keyboard....
    BUT during the re--boot, if I press Shift and power -on. the computer start in Safe mode....but then nothing....
    Only the POWER button is working.
    Please help.....

    I still need help.
    I went to the apple store, plugged my computer into their monitor, keyboard and mouse. It worked fine. For over an hour I clicked on everything and did just about everything I can think of that I usually do. I changed settings in preferences, turned off the screen saver and turned it back on, turned off putting the computer to sleep and back on, restarted multiple times and the keyboard and mouse worked fine. So, we determined that I must need a new keyboard and mouse.
    I set up my computer this morning and it worked fine. But when I came back and tried to wake it up from the screensaver I got no reaction. pushed the power button lightly a couple of times to force the ask for password screen to come up, when I tried to type my password in nothing happened. So then I forced the computer to shut down by holding the power button down for three seconds (the one on the monitor). Then started up, mouse wouldn't work. So, I thought it must be the usb port on the monitor that is bad. I shut down. plugged the keyboard into the back of my mac instead of the monitor.
    All seemed great. Computer response even seemed faster. I thought I had solved my problem. I was using the computer for probably less than 30 minutes and then while I was using it the mouse froze. Computer would accept no input from the keyboard either, like clicking F11 for expose reaction.
    I'm back to square one. What else should I try?????
    Any ideas out there???
    Thanks in advance.
