Waking laptop from sleep, ffx lost all icons, (bookmarks, navigation, stop/reload, download and extension icons.

windows 8.1 update one. laptop goes to sleep mode, upon starting the laptop up again, i lose all icons of firefox i.e. the forward/back navigation buttons(still there and clickable but now black arrow) download icon, and bookmark icons. all buttons still clickable but lost the black icon in them, all i see is ust white backround and have to try and guess which button is which from memory because even pointing mouse over the icon brings a white box which usually contains info on the button.
problem fixed when close firefox and restart again but thats not a permanent solution as i lose tabs that were open.
any help appreciated.

If you're not using private browsing, the History menu should have the option to Restore Previous Session.
But regarding the main issue, I don't know whether anyone has posted about this before. Does it make any difference if you disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration? This is a standard workaround for incompatible graphics card/chipset driver software. You can switch the setting here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
That takes effect after you exit and start Firefox up again.
In the interim, if you see this again, could you try to force Firefox to repaint the window by minimizing and restoring the problem window. You can minimize a window "blind" by pressing Alt+Spacebar and then n (or you can minimize all windows by holding down the Window key and pressing d).

  • Laptop waking up from sleep, then turning off

    After I installed snow leapord the only major problem I came across was my computer waking up from sleep mode. Once it wakes up, its on for about 2 minutes then everything turns off. The weird thing is it looks like it goes back to sleep because the macbook pro light where you open the lid is still pulsing, like its trying to wake up. The keyboard lights are off, screen is off. I can hear the disk spinning also. Once it woke up to freeze and go back to sleep.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    & it only happens when it comes back from closing the lid while the laptop is still on.

    Try resetting some of the hardware involved. See this Apple KB for details, etc.:

    Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.

  • Ethernet interface disappears after waking up from sleep

    Hi guys,
    I've been trying to debug a networking problem without any luck and I think it's about time I ask the forum for help.
    My ethernet interface no longer works after I wake up my computer from sleep. I have no idea why.
    Before sleep:
    # ls /sys/class/net
    lo wlp2s0 enp3s0f2
    After waking up from sleep,
    ls /sys/class/net
    lo wlp2s0
    Here are the list of services I have running.

    Furthermore, plugging in the ethernet cord after the computer has started doesn't connect to the internet, even when I have the ifplugd service running. I am forced to run:
    sudo ip link set enp3s0f2 up
    sudo dhcpcd enp3s0f2
    However, I can't run these commands after the laptop wakes up from sleep since it no longer sees the ethernet interface.
    I am thoroughly confused. Please help me.

    It seems to be fixed after the kernel update. On an related note, I've switched from using dhcpcd to netctl. I've enabled netctl to automatically connect to the network using:
    # systemctl enable [email protected]
    # systemctl enable [email protected]
    So when I check for the status of the ethernet profile, I get told that's it's inactive.
    #netctl status ethernet-dhcp
    netctl@ethernet\x2ddhcp.service - Networking for netctl profile ethernet-dhcp
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]; static)
    Active: inactive (dead)
    Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)
    But I turned off the wireless, so I must be connected to the ethernet, So how do I know which profile I'm connected to?

  • IMac hangs waking up from sleep mode, what can I do?

    I have an iMac - early 2008, Inter Core 2 Duo, screenshots of full specs attached below.
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion about 3 weeks ago. No problem until 2-3 days ago when the iMac started to 'hang' after waking up from sleep mode.
    I'd try to launch Safari but the icon just bounces on the dock.
    Force quitting all open apps, force quitting Finder. Still nothing.
    Can't shut down unless I hold the power button down.
    Then on restart it says something about an application that was previously unresponsive...try to reopen it or wait 50 seconds (or thereabouts) - I choose the latter option.
    I've tried to do the usual verify/repair permissions and verify/repair disk. No problem found.
    Incidentally, this has only been happening since 'upgrading' to iTunes 11. Coincidence?
    Can someone help?

    Ok, I've done everything suggested above except for running the Disk Utility from the recovery partition, as I will have more time to spend on it tomorrow and that's something I'm too scared to try in a rush....!
    I've made a screenshot of the energy saving settings changed to your suggestion, could you let me know if that's what you meant?
    I really appreciate your help by the way

  • Slight crackle coming out of the speakers after waking up from sleep?

    anyone else had this happen to them? I just hear a short, quiet crackling noise coming out of my speakers after waking up. My MBP 17 is great otherwise. Its not really even a big deal, just wondering. Thanks

    I've been encountering this problem recently with my left speaker when waking my laptop from sleep. It doesn't happen all the time though - almost seems like it happens when it's hot and humid out, like today, even though my A/C is on. I've seen one or two more threads about this topic but with no real help other than "I wouldn't worry about it". Does anyone else have any ideas? It's not a life-or-death ordeal, but still, I know the speaker shouldn't make this noise.

  • Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

    My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Certain applications will not open after restart or waking up from sleep

    My Macbook Pro running 10.9.2 won't open certain applications after restarting and sometimes after waking up from sleep. Google Chrome, Logic Pro X, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere seem to be the only progams affected. Firefox and Safari both work fine as well as many other applications. It seems to only affect programs that connect to the internet.
    After a period of time the issue will resolve itself; sometimes after a few minutes and other times after several days. Then, these applications suddenly begin working again. I have also been having issues with my computer's ability to wake up. My best guess is that my computer isn't "fully waking up" upon restarts or when coming out of sleep mode. Both of these issues began around the same time and could be related. I've had both problems for several months through multiple software updates.
    As far as troubleshooting goes I have done the following:
    Safe Boot - (all programs work but are not effective due to lack of drivers being utilized in safe mode)
    RAM/PRAM reset.
    Disk Utility/Repair Permissions/Verify Disk
    Any help or advice would be VERY appareciated.

    Robin,
    It sounds like your MacBook is logging out when the computer goes to sleep if you are getting the login window, which will of course close all your programs.
    In System Preferences >Security, uncheck "Log out after.....minutes of activity".
    See if this stops it from doing that.

  • Resolv.conf - blank every new start of machine or waking up from sleep

    resolv.conf - blank every new start of machine or waking up from sleep
    how to solve?

    On my laptop running Sol 11 express, I do indeed have dhcpagent running.
    Prior to this, I was running Solaris 10 U9, with dhcpagent running.
    I manually tweaked by resolv.conf file, and it was left alone even when my ip address changed within the office, it was left alone.
    Now with Solaris 11 express, it habitually overwrites my tweaks. For whatever reason, the dhcp server will hand out the search strings properly to the windows vm running under virtual box, but solaris isn't getting them. I've got my login script set to copy a good version over as I login, and an cron job set to see if the entries have evaporated and re-copy again.
    Would be nice to be able to disallow dhcpagent from touching/breaking resolv.conf.

  • Compaq C700 - CPU fan not running after waking up from Sleep mode

    Hi guys,
    Waking up from Sleep mode does not start the CPU fan.
    Kernel:  2.6.32-ARCH
    KDE : 4.4
    Let me know what other details you need.

    I was having the same problem after installing mountain lion.
    What i did was in Finder went to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/  and deleted all the networking plists (refer screen shot). Then restarted the Mac and in Network Preferences reconnected to my WLAN.
    That solved the problem.

  • OSX 10.9.1 macbook pro 13 retina - wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse

    Hello,
    My config is OSX 10.9.1 new macbook pro 13 retina (2014).
    The wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse.
    It was not the case before I bought the BT mouse.
    Is this problem between Wifi and bluetooth coming from the OS?
    Is there a fix already available or scheduled?
    Thanks

    Hello alexandrefromfrance
    Check the Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly section for steps on what to do when your MacBook Pro does not connect after waking from sleep. I have also quoted the section on troubleshooting the issue as well.
    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
    After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Network from the View menu.
    Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
    Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
    Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
    Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
    Select each network and click the minus sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
    Click OK and close the Network preferences.
    Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.
    Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".

Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
    Restart your computer.
    Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.
    Regards,
    -Norm G.

  • Waking up from sleep folder gets highlighted

    When waking up from sleep, my MacProBook, using OS Maverick, randomly highlights/opens one of the folders on my desktop covering the desktop and forcing me every time to minimize the icon.  Any suggestion on how to stop that from happening?

    Hi ChangeAgent,

    it may be causing general problems to everyone.
    I have only seen this BLUE SCREEN since I installed this security update.
    It's the very latest one.
    The Blue Screen is not my only problem:
    I have had two system crashes (computer waking up with DARWIN window error, fixed when I re-booted).
    Scrolling has slowed down in some applications.
    The update in Microsoft Office vX was reverted, yesterday I received a message that said: Welcome to Microsoft Office (how can it welcome me when I have been using it every day for the past 15 years?)
