On websites I can never load a pdf file, the screen just stays blank and never shows it is even attempting to download the file

I go to www.copyright.gov. On homepage I select 'FAQ'. In 'FAQ' I select, under 'What does copyright protect?' I select the link "What works are protected." My location bar at the top now reads www.(in pale grey) copyright.gov(in dark black) /circs/circ01.pdf(again, in pale grey) and my screen is completely blank and there was no indication that it ever attempted to load. When I attempt the same procedure in Safari I get the pdf page.

You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

Minefield just would not open pages, whatever I tries to type in the addressbar the URL just stayed there and nothing happened. Even if I opened a new tab and put a new url again it did not even start loading the page. This is happening since the last updates from today or yesterday. I already removed minefield and installed it again

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting|#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Whenever I try to open a new tab, the tab just goes blank and says "New tab". I can't open any websites. What do I do?

It started very suddenly. The tab just went blank when I tried to open a new one, and then just continued every time I open a new tab. It loads the selected website for a milisecond, and then just goes blank and says "New tab". In my own language of course. I tried reinstalling, rebooting and nothing seems to do it. I have Tab Mix Plus as a tab manager.
What can I do? Please help.

That did the trick. But I had to start Firefox in safe mode, because it just went to the blank page where the Troubleshooting page should have been, of course. Thanks for the help anyway. Now I just need to get my old addons back.

When I click on a link, it opens a new screen which stays blank and in the adress is no website but searching History and bookmarks. Nothing else happens

When i click on a link inside a website, a new screen appears. This one will be blank and in the webadress it will say searching Bookmarks and History. Nothing will happen.
Please help

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the 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]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all 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")
There are other things that need attention.

My downloads-window doesn't function properly anymore, often it just stays blank, and the one in my taskbar doesn't turn green at all. Can you tell me how to fi

My downloads-window doesn't function properly anymore. It just stays white whenever I am downloading something. Only after downloading the same file once or twice more, it shows the progress of my download. The window in the taskbar -that should progressively turn green- doesn't show anything at all anymore. How can I fix this?

Note that there should only be a prefs.js file (Windows hides the .js file extension) and not a numbered prefs-##.js file.<br />
The presence of a numbered file indicates there there has been a problem with creating/updating prefs.js at some time and you can remove the numbered prefs-1.js file.<br />
If the main prefs.js doesn't have a current time stamp then you will have to delete that file as well and redo all customization settings in Options.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

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.

HT2731 How can I update apps when the screen just goes blank?

How can I update apps on my iPad my screen is just blank. My phone updates fine.

There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app on their iPads - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list (potentially going through the A to Z list on the left-hand side of the screen, and similarly tapping the 'iPad Apps' button at the top left of the screen and selecting 'iPhone Apps') to find those with updates and individually update them.

HT1414 It has some problem about my iphone. When I turn off the phone and then turn on, it shows the screen of apple page and then show the loading page many times. What happen with my iphone?

I have iphone5s and there is some problem about my iphone. I turn off the phone and then I turn on. After I turned on, It showed the page of apple signal and then the page of loading. It used long time to show the loading page. Then it was back to page of apple and then loading page again many times. What happen with it? And what should I do?

Did you already try to reset the phone again by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
You may have to connect in recovery mode, if the phone is not recognized in iTunes:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

What shall I do about the app updates on my iPhones App Store don't come up. It says I have 11 updates but the update page stays blank and won't load?

On my iphone 5, I can't see any apps that require updating, but it shows a notification badge on the App Store saying that I have 11 to update? Does anyone know how I can get around this?

Did you tried to remove the App Store app from multitasking bar?
Double click the home button and hold down an icon. Then tap the little x to remove the app. Click home button ones and try again to use the App Store to update your apps.

Unless you purchased the optional AppleCare+ extended warranty,
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for (USA) $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

Firefox includes options of how to handle different content types, in your case the mailto links are probably set to "Use Firefox". For details of how to fix this see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section "Change the action for a content type".

Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.
