When I click on firefox to go online, I just get a google page with no location bar to type in an address.

The google page fills the entire screen. I have no access to firefox and no ability to go to a website i want.

Try hitting '''F11'''.

  • Why when I click on a photo in iPhoto do I get a yield sign with an exclamation mark in it?

    why when I click on a photo in iPhoto do I get a yield sign with an exclamation mark in it?

    The ! is an indication that the link or file path to the original file has been broken.  Try the following:
    make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • When I click on firefox, instead of 1 tab I get the previous 2 I used

    I start up the laptop. Once password entered, i get the desktop. I click on firefox to take me to google and instead of doing so, I get the last two tabs of the websites i last visited. then I have to click on the third unused tab and click on google and then ask my question. It didn't used to be like this (since July 2012). I could go to the desktop, click on firefox and go straight to google images (although I didn't like this option and I would have preferred it to go straight to google search, but it never did, seem to go straight to google images which meant I then had to click on google search. Now it doesn't do this at all and I have to cope with the last two tabs of webpages and click on the X to get rid of them every single time. Most frustating. I use windows 7, vista and firefox as my search engine. Microsoft security essentials is the protective anti virus set up that came with the laptop.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    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.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • When I click on links in my e-mail, I get the Start Page instead of the link page

    Hello:
    When I click on an e-mail link, I get my Start Page instead of the
    Link Page. My e-mail is Thunderbird and my default browser is
    Firefox.
    Thanks

    This is a known bug, and has been for years. It occurs when Firefox is your default browser and some glitch (or program) changes that default. Thankfully, there's a fairly easy fix, though it does involve monkeying around in the Registry.
    (Note: These instructions apply to Windows Vista and 7 only.)
    1. Click Start, type regedit, and then press Enter.
    2. Navigate to the following entry: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\ddeexec
    3. In the center pane, double-click the Default entry, then remove whatever value is there (it'll probably be a weird string of numbers and commas).
    4. Click OK, then exit Regedit.
    5. If Outlook and/or Firefox are open, close them, then restart them.

    I am using windows 7 pro this issue has drove me crazy for some time, now finally it's fixed by doing the exact same steps as above, hope this works for everybody that is having this problem. I just had to share this with my fellow firefox users. :)

  • I have Sun Life Financial bookmarked and when I click onto it, as it is trying to get on the site, the https tool bar goes wonky.  Then the pinwheel comes on and I have to force quit.  This does not happen on our other apple computer only on my new one

    I have not used this app before so please excuse me if I am duplicating my question.  I am trying to get onto one of my books marks but when I click on it, it starts going all wonky in the https bar.  Then the pinwheel comes on.  When I force quit and then go back into Safari it comes up on that company website but a different section that is asking me to check the date on my computer and some other things that could be a problem.  This does not happen on our other mac only my new lap top.  This problems only started this weekend.  Any ideas?

    Thanks for the response.
    I attempted to remove cookies, but I can not identify any of the cookies on the list with the PrimeVest web site. No PrimeVest, no PVs, nothing that looks like it came from them.
    I have also reported the problem to PrimeVest and their tech did answer. He suggested erasing the browsing history (temporary internet files), which I did with no effect. He also had me check for the correct starting page address, which was OK. He stated that they are aware of a problem and it is on their list. No indication of how far down that list though. His only cure was to use IE for now, which I was already doing. Perhaps he can tell me which cookies to remove.

  • When I click on my thumdrive of the photos, I get a black box with an explanation mark.  I am using iphoto 9.2.1

    When I click on the thumbdrive pictures, it opens to a black box with an explantion mark.  I am using iphoto 9.2.1.  Note this just started last night.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I've been using Iphoto as a primary download program for years. As of today, when I click a thumbnail to open the photo, I get a black screen with an exclamation mark on some shots. Also, these shots can't be dragged into Adobe Bridge. Would love help!

    I use Iphoto as my primary download tool, then drag images into Adobe Bridge. Just today, when I tried to open a photo by clicking a thumbnail, all I got was an image of an exclamation mark and I couldn't drag the shot either. These are images I've successfully opened and dragged before. I would love guidance from anyone who knows a fix for this. Thanks!  John

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto?
    As Larry says, your workflow doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If you're using iPhoto only for downloading then you're best off using Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) and just keep the whole database element out if it. If you're using iPhoto also to organise, then what are you using Bridge for? Anything you do in Bridge - or Photoshop - is unavailable in iPhoto if you work this way.

  • Firefox loads only blank new tabs for all web pages, with blank url bar.

    After a minor automatic update (16.0.1 --> 16.0.2), firefox is now completely unusable.
    Any time I attempt to load a page, it only shows a blank tab labeled 'new tab'.
    The url bar for this page will be blank if I try to open it from a link or bookmakrk.
    The url bar for this page will be exactly what I typed if I manually typed a url.
    Right-clicking the blank pages does nothing: no context menu.
    The 'troubleshooting information' page DID load properly though; it's the only page I've been able to display at all so far.
    Restarting firefox did not fix the issue.
    Restarting firefox in safe mode with addons disabled did NOT fix the issue -- so please don't waste time trying to tell me it's the addons.
    Changing network proxy settings did not fix the issue.
    There are no connection problems: IE can load pages just fine from the same computer.
    I love mah firefox... but now it's dead... please help!

    Update: Solved:
    Firefox works properly after restarting entire computer.
    It's poor form to require computer restarts for minor browser updates... and even poorer to not say so when you do.
    (Some of us are running servers in the background that should not be interrupted.)

    Ok, lets do a couple of steps here first:
    To make sure your windows isn't corrupted because of the power outage, let's run chkdsk.
    Click on My Computer, then right click your C: Drive (if you have other hard drives, you will want to run this on them as well). Then, click Properties. Inside that window, go to the Tools tab. Inside that tab, open up the "Check Now" button. That will open a smaller window. Select the checkbox to "Automatically fix file system errors", then hit Start. You will probably receive an error asking if you want to schedule the disk check, click Yes, then restart your computer.
    Read [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265] for more information.
    After running the chkdsk, then please go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download a fresh version of Firefox. I'm assuming you are using Internet Explorer to download Firefox. Instead of hitting Run, let's try hitting save. Remember where it saves the installer file on your computer.
    After the download has finished, double-click and run the Firefox install. Once it is finished, try to start Firefox up. Let me know how it goes!

  • Upgraded to FF4, Have windows 7, everytime I click on FF4 to go online, I get pop-up box with error message [Javascript: application] Typeerror: Components.classes[cid] is undefined...when I click OK it lets me online but this is a pain

    I get an error message... [Javascript: application] upper left corner in the pop-up box, then in the body of the pop-up box it says, Typeerror: Components.classes[cid] is undefined...when I click OK it lets me online but this is a pain, also, I get the same message when I try to open another window while using FF4...Thanks and hope you can help...

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:

  • I want to see my chosen home page when I click on Firefox, but your ad shows up. How do I get rid of it?

    When I go to Mozilla Firefox, I always see YOUR page first instead of my chosen home page. This page says "Committed to You, your privacy and an open web under your logo, and in top right corner, it says "See what's New" and it makes me either check "No Thanks" or "Let's go". This is annoying because I really just want my home page when I click on Firefox.
    How do I get rid of YOUR page that comes up first? If I can't get rid of this, I plan to no longer use Mozilla Firefox. Please advise. (I would have given you a screen shot, but your system doesn't accept it here)
    Thanks!
    Kathy Burden

    You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
    Do you still have your home page set correctly?
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    You can check for problems with preferences.
    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

  • When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

    When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
    It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

  • My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows proc

    My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows processes, while Firefox does not run.
    I manually deleted Firefox from the list once I have Windows processing.
    And when I clicked on Firefox, Firefox will open quickly and easily.
    Firefox process in Windows Processes names list called "firefox.exe * 32" is.
    Please try to solve my problem, my problem is how to solve?

    Hi, are you saying that you start Firefox and it stalls -- you can see it in the Task Manager but it never displays -- but if you kill that process and start Firefox again it starts up properly that second time?
    If you look at the statistics available in the Task Manager's processes tab such as bytes read or other bytes, can you see whether Firefox is doing anything at all? ''Note: You might need to add columns if your Processes tab isn't set up to display statistics. You can do that from the View menu.''

  • When I click on Firefox in my dock I sometimes go to a restore msg or a goto this address instead of my aol home page

    I just started Firefox yesterday....I put fox on my dock....sometimes when I click on Firefox in my dock I get an error message showing a restore button or I go to a blank page
    showing "go to this address"... on my third click I go to my homepage aol.com

    I would like when I select Firefox in my dock I go right to AOL

    My eyes hurt from all caps... I think it could be this issue:
    There is a "bug" in Firefox 20 on Mac OS X where if you close all the pages and then Quit Firefox, it thinks it crashed and starts with the crash recovery screen on the next startup.
    Two workarounds until this is fixed:
    (1) Quit with at least one page open; or
    (2) Don't try to restore the previous session after a crash. Here's how that is changed:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the search box in that tab, type or paste '''sessions''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash''' to toggle its value from true to false.
    This should be fixed in a future release of Firefox.
