Updated to Firefox 9, now it gives me a blank white screen. What's going on ?

I upgraded to Firefox 9. When backup was done it gave me a blank white screen with tool bar at the top. I thought maybe it needed "backing up your info" so I did that, still no Firefox screen. I rebooted the computer, still no screen. I can go to "Most Visited" and select Firefox, and it will go back to old Firefox screen that says I don't have the latest update. What's going on ?

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.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    Thank you.

  • My ipod will just give me a blank white  screen

    I'm having trouble with my ipod, I just downloaded a new update to my ipod, and my ipod just reset itself, and when the screen came back on it gave me just a white screen... I still have that white screen at the moment, and when I reset it will give me a quick three beeps and then a couple of seconds later the white screen will come back on, what should I do

    Welcome Andrew
    Ah ha, that old chestnut! There is a problem with the Updater - I had the similar thing happen, and I see others have too. It's possible the iPod lost communication with the computer or the update just finished incorrectly.
    Let your battery drain right down. Then charge it up....prob a couple of hours at least. Once you've done that, reset it...
    Hold down SELECT and MENU at the same time to reset the iPod; immediately after the screen goes dark, switch to holding down SELECT and PLAY/PAUSE. Keep pressing for ten seconds or so to be sure; the screen should remain dark. After a bit you can connect the iPod to the computer and things should be normal again. You may have to try this a couple of times - see how it goes.
    Hope this helps...

  • I was asked to upgrade firefox now it gives me a blank page same when I downloa?

    I have had Firefox installed on my computer since new (two years). I recently received an "update Firefox" message on my computer. When I clicked "yes" I now get nothing but a blank, black screen. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it several times with the same result. This is most distressing as I use Firefox more than any other search engine.
    Please assist.

    hello Dyank50, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
    in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • I am a new mac user and tried to update my firefox but now i have multiple foxes and a half fox fix something? how do i get it all together in one and be sure i have current version on only?

    Hi there
    I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
    Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
    Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
    Good luck

  • Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL.

    Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL. I have tried to delete anything associated with AOL and when restart Firefox.....there's AOL again. I even reinstalled Firefox.......there it was again.

    Where does AOL show up -- home page?
    I think the first thing to check is whether you have any AOL-related add-ons. These might override your regular settings. You can review and disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Note that in most cases, you need to use the Restart Firefox link to actually deactivate the extension you chose to disable.
    Next, to fix your home page, try the steps in this article: [[How to set the home page]].
    If there is a problem with your search providers being switched from Google to AOL, try this extension:

    Any improvement?

  • How do I restore my IPod? I shut down in middle of updating, now it's a BLANK white screen??

    iPod 4th gen was manually shut down (holding both buttons down to shut off...) while it was in middle of updating to ios 6, and now every time I turn bk on, it's a blank white screen! Looks like iPod has been wiped out! Please tell me how to fix this? I hooked to Mac, and still blank screen!!!

    Like I said in your previous post:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When updating to the new iOS my ipod died and now I have nothing but a white screen that won't turn off and itunes now doesn't recognize it

    When I was updating my ipod touch to the new iOS last night it died and now I have nothing but a white screen. iTunes no longer recongnizes the device and it won't turn off when I hold the power button or when I hold the power and home screen button.

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
