Previously secure web pages now missing the padlock, and the address bar now shows "about: blank". I'm concerned that security is compromised. How does one fix the "about:blank" problem as antivirus scanning does not help?

I'm using Firefox 4.01 as default ; Win XP SP 3; Trend Micro Titanium Security Antivirus. Please suggest remedy/ help.

In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br />
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.<br />

    Place the iPod in a sealed container with a desiccant for a week. Uncooked rice works. Change the desiccant every day or so for a week.
    Do not charge or turn on the iPod until dry. Then try:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT203175 How does one fix the  problemd.... "application itunes helper.exe - mobile me service failed to start becasue missing  MSVCR80.dll" ?  This started after the last "update" of itunes

    With a recent update of itunes, ( a couple weeks ago), when plugging in my iphone, itunes did not automatically launch...and when manually selecting itune to open I recieve the statement ...
    "application itunes helper.exe - mobile me service failed to start becasue missing  MSVCR80.dll" ? 
    I have gone to the itunes site and reloaded itunes....and did not fix the problem. ....help

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • HT2729 When I sync my phone to my computer, I do not get the movies and tv series I purchased on my phone on my computer.  Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

    I am trying to sync my IPhone up to my computer.  It shows it is working, but the movies and t.v. series I purchased from my phone are not showing up in my library on my computer.  I have updated both my phone and computer.  I am using windows.  Any suggestions on how I can get this to work?

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

  • How Does One Fix The Error "The iPhone cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54).

    I recently got a new computer along with a new iPhone 5S, and downloaded iTunes to the computer today. As I tried to sync my library to my iPhone to get all the music on there, I received an error message after a little bit stating "The iPhone (Name) cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54)." After doing some research on this error, I found out that it had to do with files being locked and things of that nature, but I don't really understand that whole concept. So if someone who understands would help me through this error step-by-step, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.

  • Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar in ff4? It isn't included in the Customize box. Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option compeletly gone from Firefox now?

    Just installed upgrade to Firefox 4.0. Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar. I checked the Customize dialogue box and it isn't included. Is anyone else missing it? Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option completely gone from Firefox now? It was a very helpful button and allowed us users to stop a web page and move on if it wasn't what we needed.

    In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
    When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
    If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

  • Web pages are missing their default scrollbars - help

    Web pages are missing their scroll bars.
    To be clear — I can create scroll bars for any element
    within a page — no problem.
    It’s that each pg itself which by default should come with its own scrollbars has none.
    So if a viewer can’t see the entire page the viewer has no means to
    horizontally or vertically scroll to see the off-screen portion of the page.
    I’ve talk to the adobe tech support about the scroll-less pages.
    They said the problem is beyond their expertise and lies in the code itself.
    They advised me to reach across this platform for the answer.
    The problem is consistent on all browsers.
    I ran the pages thru Dreamweaver’s browsers’ lab. Pages varied slightly with each
    Browsers, on the whole looked good. BUT a portion of the image on the right side 
    was cut off and the scrollbars were not available on the Adobe Browsers Test Lab page.
    No errors were found when run thru Dreamweaver’s Browser Compatibility.
    I reviewed the code but I have no idea what I’m looking for.

  • Is there a phone number where I can call someone? The phone number in your web page is missing a num

    Is there a phone number where I can call someone? The phone number in your web page is missing a number. it is listed as 1-800-426-570? One number missing. I just paid with my credit card online for photoshop and it is not allowing me to log in in order to download.

    If I click on the adobe.ly link Rajshree gave you, above, there is a phone number at the bottom of the Customer Support contact webpage.
    This is the number I see when logged in with an AdobeID associated with the US is:
    800-833-6687
    It is possible that you are somewhere else in the world and the webpage is smart enough to give a different phone number, so the number I see may or may not be applicable to where you are.
    It also may be advisable to use the Chat instead of the phone, because it may be easier to understand what someone is typing than trying to interpret their English through whatever accent they are speaking with.

  • I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks. Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't help. The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.

    I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks.
    Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't rectify it either.
    The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
    Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == the Firefox is being used

    I think I have a solution.
    First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
    Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
    Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
    This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
    I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
    Wa-la...History Gone!!!
    As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
    Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
    Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.

  • I have iphone 5c.  Having email problem.  Does not delete emails showing in inbox from date 8/27 thru 9/23.   When deleted, these same emails repopulate in inbox.  What is going wrong?  How do I fix the problem?

    Ihave iphone5c.  Does not permanently delete emails showing in inbox.  When they are move to Trash then inbox at first shows empty.  However if you leave Mailbox and return then all the emails that were previously deleted and now repopulated in Inbox.  I have tried various things like marking them "read" before deleting, then moving them to Trash, and they still return.  What is going wrong and how do I fix the problem?

    What your describing sounds lot like Nortons anti virus, but other do it to.
    Multiple copies of the same email over and over are almost always anti virus incoming mail scanning. Turn off scanning and the problem goes away turn it back on and it resumes.
    My guess is that your filter issues, and search problems are also related to this uniquitous and most ignored security tool that messes up far more than it should..
    Deleting the index
    I assume you mean the global-messages-db.sqlite. if you don't close Thunderbird and delete it now. Searches will be incomplete until it rebuilds and the time to do that will have a lot to do with how much mail there is and how busy the computer is.
    Now create an exclusion in your anti virus program for the Thunderbird profile folders. My guess is it is trying to scan the files in your profile every time Thunderbird tries to open them and generally turning things into a tug of war, which Thunderbird looses as it just does not wait around if files are locked. It expects exclusive access to it's files immediately, not in 10 minutes when the anti virus has done it's thing. So things get added to the index but not removed. Mails don't move as the destination or source file is "in use" etc.

  • Seeing the X on the padlock and a slash through the https on the address line when I use Outlook Web App

    I run exchange 2013 on windows 2008 R2 with a cert from VeriSign that is about 2 years away from expiration. I have a user who uses our Outlook Web App from home and keeps complaining he is "seeing the red X on the padlock and a slash through the https
    on the address line when he uses Outlook Web App"
    I go to EAC and the cert seems fine - ALTHOUGH I get a cert error on my IE when I login into EAC. So I'm wondering if I have a cert problem.
    Any help would be appreciate.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I understand that login OWA and return an certificate warning.
    If I misunderstand you concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
    I want to double confirm whether all user or some special user experience this issue. If only few of user face this problem, please try to double check the Trusted Root Certification Authorities Certificate Store in IE.
    Otherwise, please run below command to double check the status of Exchange certificate:
    Get-ExchangeCertificate | FL Identity,Subject,Status,RootCAType,NotAfter,NotBefore
    If the certificate expired, please pay attention to below link to renew Exchange Certificate:

  • Why can't I print a secured web page (https)? Win7, FireFox 5.0

    Whenever I try to print a secured web page using FireFox 5.0 nothing happens.
    I have to switch to Internet Explorer 9.0 to get the printed secured web page.
    I'm using win 7 Pro 32-bit on a desktop machine

    I tried the steps you indicated. It brought me to IE which I don't use, unless someone will die due to my decision. I hate monopoly, such as Microsof imposes to its customers. My printer works fine with any application, except with firefox, since I updated to version 5.0

    After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?
