Cannot access the general tab under tools options menu

I am using Firefox 3.6.12 . I wanted to change my home page. I go to the tolls menu, options sub-menu, but i can access all the tabs except the General tab. I am concerned there might be some other program preventing me from changing my options. Please help!!!

Default theme is enabled?
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

When I open the new tab in firefox , muliple window automatically opened with. also the page did not contain all feature of the site , some panels not displayed

Problem No. 1 //// when I google the word (boy) as example >>>>> then select image >>>>> right click on any image and choose (open in an new tab) >>>>>> new tab opened but the image not appear, instead a black window appear .
Problem No. 2 //// in any windows >>> if I choose the link >>> the link did not open until the (new window opened and my antivirus warm me that there is a dangerous thread must remove or blocked)

If your security software is blocking images then you need to check the settings there or contact its website for support.
If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

In the File Tab of Firefox 28 was an Open Location.This is not in Firefox 29. Why?

Open Location showed details of sites frequently visited.

Because it is no longer possible to hide the Navigation Toolbar with the location bar in the current Firefox release, the Firefox developers have removed the code to bring up a replacement location bar (Ctrl/Command+L) and that includes support for the Open Location menu entry.

Rather than go to the home page I have specified in the General tab of Options in the Tools menu, Firefox keeps going to a truncated version of this url.

I have used the following URL as my firefox home page for quite some time:
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search
Several months ago, malware of some sort replaced this url with one of their own. I got rid of the malware and put back my original home page, but I'm continuing have a problem: Every time firefox goes to my home page, rather than using the whole url that I've specified, firefox truncates this url to just the first 87 characters, and goes to this truncated url instead:
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+
Not only is this not the url that I have specified in the General tab under Options in the Tools menu, I always get an error message in an additional tab whenever Firefox goes to this truncated version of my home page. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get firefox to use the entire url I have specified as my home page in the General Tab under Options?
I do not know if this is relevant or not, but I noticed that prefs.js includes two other user prefs related to the home page in addition to the one that identifies the url I chose:
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID", "20130617145905");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "22.0");

You need to escape the pipe character as %7c if you want to include it in the URL

I can access the "Firefox Prefereences", but when the "about:preferences" starts, it will not let you access anything except the "General" tab.

All of the other "tabs" show up on the tab menu, but when you click on them, only the "General" tab will be there. You can make changes to the items in the "General" tab, but nothing else. I am using a HP Pavillion dv7 laptop, running Ubuntu 13.10, and Firefox 29. This only started with version 29. Before everything worked.

Works for me on Linux.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

SID table in the general tab and master data/text tab

Hello Bi Experts,
For example 0material Info-object:
There is a SID table in the general tab i.e /BI0/SCOMP_CODE
There is another SID table Attribute in the master data/text tab i.e /BI0/XCOMP_CODE,here there are Nav attributes with name S__0COMPANY.
When i got 0company info-object it got its own SID table i.e /BI0/SCOMPANY
Can some body explain me what is significance of SID table Attribute in the master data/text tab and what is difference with SID Table of attribute?
Cheers,
Stalin

Hi,
SID is surrogate ID generated by the system. The SID tables are created when we create a master data IO. In SAP BW star schema, the distinction is made between two self contained areas: Infocube & master data tables/SID tables.
The master data doesn't reside in the satr schema but resides in separate tables which are shared across all the star schemas in SAP BW. A numer ID is generated which connects the dimension tables of the infocube to that of the master data tables.
The dimension tables contain the dim ID and SID of a particular IO. Using this SID the attributes and texts of an master data Io is accessed.
The SID table is connected to the associated master data tables via teh char key
Sid Tables are like pointers in C
Tables Starting with Description:
M - View of master data table
Q - Time Dependent master data table
H - Hierarchy table
K - Hierarchy SID table
I - SID Hierarchy structure
J - Hierarchy interval table
S - SID table
Y - Time Dependent SID table
T - Text Table
F - Fact Table - Direct data for cube ( B-Tree Index )
E - Fact Table - Compress cube ( Bitmap Index )

How do i turn voiceover off without going to the general tab?

I turned voiceover on and now im unable to access the screen to turn it off. It even allow me to scroll up or down or side to side. Is there anyone to turn voiceover off without going to the general tab>accessibility?

Your best bet is an Apple store...the genius bar has seen this before & they have the tools to fix. So, go to an Apple store...make an appointment first.
