[SOLVED] FF 4.0 beta 11 total failure : blank page, no bookmark, address bar not responding, etc.

I had no problem with 4.0 betas, up to 10.
Update to 4.0/11 this morning, and suddenly nothing is working
- blank page
- all bookmarks lost (from Bookmarks menu)
- impossible to connect to any url: actually, nothing happens after entering an address, address bar non responsive.
- two (Windows) title bars, each one coming with its working system menu.
I see two title bar (the blue bar with min/max/close buttons at the right)
The top one is a regular one, with "Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 11" displayed at the left
The second one hold a new Firefox yellow button at the left, with a down arrow opening a all-in-one menu.
Under this second title bar, a menu bar holds the regular menu items (File/Edit/View/History/Bookmarks/Tools/Help)
This Bookmarks menu is void of bookmarks. But they are not lost, they are in the Firefox/Bookmarks menu.
The address bar is not responsive.
Nothing works, basically.
Until one page finally loads !
The Firefox Help page, for example, always seems to load. Bookmarked pages can also be loaded from the Firefox/Bookmarks menu (but only with right click/open in new tab; direct click doesn's work)...
Anyhow, after a first successful load, things get better : address bar becomes responsive again, bookmarks now fill the regular Bookmarks menu, etc.
The thing that still doesn't work : clicking the back button on the address bar, or typing alt-left, or right-click/back, or History/Back (grayed)... no way whatsoever to play history(-1).

Fixed with Firebug 1.7x.0a11 !

  • ZCM 11 beta 1- ZCC blank pages

    Hello,
    is it just my system that shows me about every fifth page as a blank page in ZCC (have to refresh to get the correct page) or do others also have this problem ?
    I installed ZCM on a fresh SLES 11 x86-64 and had no problems during the installation. So I wonder why this happens.

  • Hp laserjet 200. Random blank pages. Jibberish. USB not recognized.

    I am posting this for a friend.
    The printer is one year old. They ended up buying a new computer and the same problems happen on Windows Vista AND Windows 8.1.
    Please advise!
    We were away for a week. It printed strange gibberish each day we were gone. Sometimes I can turn it off and on and make it print a desired document, but other times I just have to give up. I tried to take the ipad off again to see if that would help, but I probably didn’t do that correctly. Today it is just printing blank pages. There is an error message on the computer screen asking for a certain kind of paper. That makes no sense. It printed with this paper before. Usually there is an error message on the computer screen that it does not recognize the last USB inserted. That makes no sense either. I haven’t inserted anything into a USB port. Now I just had to turn the printer off to keep it from printing blank pages.

    Hi @timothypcook ,
    I see that you are getting blank and gibberish print when trying to print by a USB connection. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.

    I have provided this document with some steps to try, to see if it will resolve the issue.

    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if you are still having issues. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. http://www.hp.com/go/tools
    If the printer is also networked, download and install the Microsoft hotfix in Step 3 of the document.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print, any error messages)

    Have a great day!

  • Auto insert blank pages in a document and not count as page number.

    This might be too much to ask of the program but it would make my life easier. I have several documents with sub-sections. I print the final document and insert tabs between sub-sections. If a sub-section ends with the last page as the front side of the paper I must put in a blank page as I cannot put a tab page between sub-section 1 and sub-section 2 if sub-section 1 ends on the front of one page and sub-section 2 starts on the back of that page.
    I've laid out bookmarks in my document and I would like to have a way to automatically have a blank page inserted after the last page before a new bookmark if that last page would be on the front side of the paper. Also, I can't have that blank page or pages contain page numbers. The program must skip those pages and move on to the next actual page.
    I could make each sub-section a seperate document but then I'd have about 50 documents to manage instead of 13 and controlling the page numbering would be a pain if I'd have to insert a new page in one sub-section I'd have to readjust page numbering in all the other documents in that section.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    If i give a paragraph that is on an even page that style it doesn't like it. The text disappears.

  • HP PSC 2175 All-in-one prints blank pages from word, chrome and notes

    My HP all-in-one printer PSC 2175 all-in-one has suddenly decided to print blank pages.
    So far I've tried printing from Word, Notes and Photoshop but come up with nothing. 
    It prints test pages and diagnostic pages without any problems and it makes direct copies without problems.
    The diagnostic tool can't find anything wrong. 
    I've run all the software I could find on Swedish HP. 
    I've reinstalled the printer, reinstalled Word, repaired Windows, nothing helps.
    I have Windows XP, fully updated.
    Any suggestions?

    I am having this problem too - just prints blank pages. Ran the tests checked cartridges settings sanity nothing.Scans fine.I currently have three duff printers in my office which is more than frustrating...

  • Everytime I add a new bookmark and then open it later it's either a blank page or a google ad, not the page I bookmarked, why is this happening?

    Hi, this problems been going on for about a month now, and I can't figure it out. Basically everytime I add a new bookmark first I have to edit the name of it, as it doesn't happen automatically like it used to and is meant too, and then when I re-open the page later on from the bookmark, it pops up with either a blank page or a google ad. I haven't got any add-ons running, it says my theme is default, I have also gotten rid of the 'localstore.rdf' file, and it hasn't made any difference.
    Also if I edit the link in 'organise bookmarks' so it is correct, it makes no difference at all.
    I am running Firefox 3.0.19 on a macbook with OS X Tiger.
    Please help if you can, I'm really stuck and it's making my life difficult.
    Thankyou.

    This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Updated 9.0 Beta (20111212185108) a few days ago. Now having "Not Responding" message almost everytime I use Firefox. Long delays until it responds. Almost unusable now.

    Downloaded update to Firefox 9.0 Beta (20111212185108) on 12-16-11. Update status was successful. Now Firefox delays with "Not Responding" message almost every time I click on something. Browser is almost unusable.

    You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
    (1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
    (2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
    (3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
    (4) Add some SARE rules:
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
    70sareadult.cf
    70saregenlsubj0.cf
    70sareheader0.cf
    70sarehtml0.cf
    70sareobfu0.cf
    70sareoem.cf
    70sarespoof.cf
    70sarestocks.cf
    70sareunsub.cf
    72sare_redirectpost
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
    backhair.cf
    bogus-virus-warnings.cf
    chickenpox.cf
    weeds.cf
    Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
    Then stop and restart mail services.
    There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

  • When I click on the firefox icon, "about home" or "about blank" appears in the address bar.

    about blank or about home is appearing in my address bar. How can I get it to read mozilla?

    Yes, it's normal behavior, but there is any add-on or any possibility that address bar would be empty when you click on home page button?
    It would be more comfortable if you didn't have to clear address bar.
    Thanks for help.

  • I cannot access Firefox at all anymore other than a blank screen and a "Firefox is not responding" message.

    I updated the versions of both Firefox and Adobe and now I cannot access Firefox at all. There is a blank screen with Mozilla Firefox top left. A couple of seconds later "(not responding)" appears. An attempt to close the window results in a box with the message "Firefox is not responding"

    You may need to delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing the latest Firefox.<br />
    In case you still have problems after installing then check your security software.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, 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 and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Tried all the fixes for "Firefox is already running, but is not responding, " etc and am coming up blank. Do I have to just drop firefox?

    Tried deleting firefox and reinstalling latest version to no avail.
    Tried all fixes from previous questions to no avail.
    Haven't seen anybody say that they've actually had a suggested fix WORK, but have seen hundreds of people with the problem.

    To properly close Firefox use File > Exit as you already determined, and that you would have seen when looking for solutions.
    But your real problem I believe is in how you are attempting to run multiple profiles at the same time. You can only have one default browser and only one default profile. Any other profile must be started with -no-remote and it is parent.lock that protects this to make sure that you use only one profile at a time.

  • When I try to open a link on a website, an endless series of blank pages appear. This does not happen if I use Safari.

    I received a message saying that Firefox had a broken link and the Firefox icon on my Mac's dock changed to a piece of paper with a ruler, pencil, and paintbrush.

    Try the solution from this thread for the pencil icon:
    * [[/questions/883573]]
    * Delete the Firefox icon from the dock.
    * Create a new icon by dragging the Firefox application to the dock.
    You may have gotten such a pop-up in the past and ticked the box to always use that choice.
    You will either have to remove that action in "Firefox > Preferences > Applications" or delete the file mimeTypes.rdf in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions if you can't find it in "Firefox > Preferences > Applications".

  • How can I return my new tab to the default blank page?

    My brother did something which made the new tab page a Yahoo search page. I'd much rather it be the blank page, selecting the address bar. I downloaded the newtabURL add-on and selected the option blank page, highlighting the URL, along with some other stuff and saved it. When I restarted though, Yahoo was still my default new tab option.
    I have no idea where this is coming from, I've checked my add-on list, control panel, and extensions list and cannot find anywhere he set Yahoo to do this.
    Thanks in advance for your help, and please state some of the obvious solutions I might have overlooked.

    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).
