When Firefox first starts, it comes up as a full-sized transparent screen, then fills in. It does this in Safe Mode with all add-ons disabled, too.
Dell Workstation, 2 GB of RAM, Nvidia video card w/new drivers running Win7 Ultimate 32-bit.
This has been driving me nuts for months on my Lenovo T420 laptop. I also have an NVIDIA card (with up-to-date driver) and built-in manufacturer card. Turning off hardware acceleration does seem to solve the problem for me. What's bizarre is that I only get this problem when I dock at my office, not when I dock at home. My home setup uses two older Hitachi monitors (one of which is plugged in via VGA cable), while my work setup uses two newer ASUS monitors (both of which are plugged in via HDMI cables). I also have no issues just using my laptop's built-in monitor.

(Firefox 8) cannot display home page without explicitly typing into address bar (not at start-up and home button doesn't work either). Also, cannot see tabs at all (enabled or disabled).
Any suggestions?????I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

Firefox 3.6 freezing / hanging most of the time. All add-ons disabled. Cache and cookies cleared. Help!
Examples: Freezes for about 20 seconds every launch. Freezes quiting. Freezes switching tabs. Freezes clicking links.Note that such issues can be caused by security software that blocks Firefox and possibly isn't initialized when you get (got) this issue.
So if it happens again then try to remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container 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.

We have gone on our comp after a while and tried to open Firefox . When we do we get a message "Firefox is running close app or restart comp . " Now the thing is I was on it earlier and closed it with the close button . Then say checked mail , or looked at pictures on my comp . Then I would want to use the browser again and when I tried to access it I get that message . Rest assured it had been closed . This issue did not happen until I downloaded Firefox4 . We did not have this problem with the earlier versions of Firefox .

When I first bought my ipad and connected it to my PC ten years worth of photos were downloaded ont ipad. It is now full! Cannot delete them as they were not taken with the ipad. Can anyone tell me how to delete them? Apple Store been very unhelpful.
Many thanksphotos that were synced to the pad can only be deleted by re syncing. When you do the resync, on your computer running i tunes, select the photo tab, and uncheck anything you do not want put back on your pad.

IE crashes when closing, doesn't happen with Reader add-ons disabled
I'm currently testing out Adobe Reader v11.0.2 before installing it to all the computers at the school. It seems to be working perfectly fine. Internet Explorer on the test computer crashes every time I try to close it. While trouble-shooting that error, it turns out to be a problem with Adobe Reader add-on. When I disable it, IE closes just fine. When I re-enable the Reader add-on, IE starts to crash again.
OS: Vista Business 32-bit
IE: 8
Need any other info?I'm not viewing any kind of PDF. I simply open Internet Explorer, view any website, and then close IE. As it is closing, it pops up a message saying that an error has occurred. When I disable the Adobe Reader add-on, it doesn't crash.
Here is the event log from the Windows Application Log Event Viewer...
Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 8.0.6001.19412, time stamp 0x51306ca3, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18541, time stamp 0x4ec3e3d5, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0003dd6d, process id 0xfc4, application start time 0x01ce4c32936d4d09.
I have uninstalled Reader 11 and the problem has completely disappeared. I'll play with this some more, but it looks like we won't be using this version here at the school any time soon. -
When I first start my Safari and other browsers won't load
I recently upgraded to a MacBook Air from my 6 year old MacBook pro. I moved everything using a TimeMachine backup. I have been having a problem that when I start the day or return to the computer after having been off it a while, my airport will connect but my Safari will not go to the webpages, it just hangs. Sometimes this will last until all my mail downloads and then it will work, but this morning and a few other times I could not get Safari or Firefox to download from the web, even after my mail downloaded, until I restarted the computer, then it they worked fine. It is like something is hanging up my ability to get pages to download from the web when I first start trying to connect.
Thanks for any help with this,
KCPlease 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, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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 on some models, 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 and Wi-Fi on certain models. 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. -
When I first started using my iPad 3,I thought Safari was just a suggested homepage offered by Apple. I replaced it with Google. This was about 3 months ago(due to illness) don't really remember exactly what I did. Could anyone help me restore Safari? Please,would so appreciate it. Mar.cia
If you want Google as your homepage, open Safari.
Type www.google.com in the address bar
Then tap the action icon (box with a right facing arrow just to the left of the address bar).
Then tap: Add to Home Screen
That you can access your homepage directly from your Home screen. -

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you. -
When I make my selection it can then proceed to use Firefox. However the next time I open Firefox I get the same problem.
I'm using Windows 7. I have used Firefox for many years with Windows XP and never had this problem. Is there a solution?See [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
"Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check. -

When I first started using Collections, I followed someone's advice and always clicked 'create virtual copy' -- so I now have a huge number of unused/useless VCs that I would like to clear out. Is there any way to 1) filter to show all virtual copies that have not been changed (but keep the ones that I have edited or changed in any way, 2) delete the unchanged virtual copies but keep the collection that holds them intact? I can picture a work-around for the second part by color coding all the unused VCs along with their original, deleting the unedited VCs, going to the folder and selecting all the colored originals, dragging them to the colection and then removing the color lable. Cumbersome, but doable.
Umm no not that i remember. It just randomly started happening. I reformatted the hard drive for mac (journaled) but it was working fine since i did it until now

After running Magician app many files where deleted from my computer, nothing new, After restarting I received the language portion of when you first start to set up a new Mac. Except after the language portion it went immediately to 5 options; install back-up from Time Machine, Disk Utility, Restart from start up disc, etc. I tried doing them all. Disc repair, rebooting from TM, but I don't save everything from TM I use an external HD for backup. None of those options are working for me. Now I get a grey screen with a flashing globe for so many minutes then a folder appears with a ? In the middle of it. What am I to do? Can anyone help me, please!!!
I appreciate the extra forums you suggested I look into. I ended up forceing a Safe Mode reboot on my Mac holding the Shift key. I let the installation process commence and I'm back to the way things were.
