Are you using any tools which impact System cache? If you are, stop.  They are NOT maintenance tools despite their description. They should only be used to troubleshoot cache issues.  They can create their own cache issues if you aren't careful, and I only recommend using them on systems that are already backed up.  If you were using such a tool and found out how to remove it from its developer, including any supporting documents, and don't have a backup, still backup your data at least twice, as you may be able to import the data back once erase and installing the system.  Let us know where you stand.  If you aren't using such a tool, still backup your data at least twice, as there are other things that can corrupt or disable System Preference launching, but we can't tell safely unless your data files are backed up at least twice in two separate locations.

  • When I click a link it just doesn't open. In a new tab or window the same link connects instantly.

    On occasion when I click links in Firefox nothing happens. The connection doesn't seem to be made, I can click repeatedly, and still it doesn't follow the link. Then when I open a new tab, or window, and paste the same link, it goes instantly. Someone mentioned that this may be a Firefox addon problem. Is there any solution to this non-connecting problem I seem to be having?

    Looking at your installed extensions, I would be guessing either the Free Download Manager plugin or Skype extension (last is unlikely as it's deactivated, but you never know..).
    You can test if it's an add-on problem by starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] - if there is no longer an issue in Firefox Safe Mode, it is almost certain that one of the add-ons are at fault.

  • When i click a button the webpage doesn't load... and sometimes the whole pages goes white and just shows words on the far left...

    idk if it is java or what, but every time i go to certain websites, like youtube.com they go blank and just show words, no images or nothing.. however i updated something and youtube works fine.. but now a website called roblox.com every time i hit the play button on a game, (it should load the game into a new window) doesn't do nothing when i click the icon.. to load it... can anyone help me with this problem?
    i have a windows 7 quad-core latest version of Firefox, so i have no idea, i think when i updated something it messed up the java source code.. or my Firefox got messed up... plz help?

    Hello,
    To protect against potential Java vulnerabilities, Firefox now asks you to activate Java by default, for each website you visit that uses Java. When you see an "Activate Java" message box, simply click it to load the Java content normally.
    [[Image:Fx24-JavaActivate]]
    If there is no visible area to activate Java content in the page, click the plugin icon in the address bar. In the message panel that opens, choose "Allow Now" to enable Java content temporarily.
    [[Image:Fx24-JavaAllowNow]]
    The next time you visit the site or any other that uses Java you will see this message again. If you want to always activate Java for a particular site, you can use the "Allow and Remember" option shown above.
    For more information about using Java in Firefox, see the articles [[How to allow Java on trusted sites]] and [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]].
    '''Important:''' After activating Java, you may see a security prompt, asking you to confirm that you want to run Java, or you may see an "Application Blocked" message, depending on the website and your security settings in the [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/jcp_security.xml#control%20panel Java Control Panel]. These messages come from Java itself, not from Firefox.
    For help with Java security prompts and "Application Blocked" messages, see the Java Help pages [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/appsecuritydialogs.xml What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?] and [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.xml Why are Java applications blocked by your security settings with the latest Java?]

  • When I click on GBookmarks the menu doesn't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again?

    When I click on GBookmarks on the menu bar, my bookmarks don't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again? What shows up now when I click on the GBookmarks are 4 choices: Add bookmarks, manage bookmarks, options, and refresh. How can I get my menu of booksmarks to drop down again? I can go to manage bookmarks and then find my bookmarks, but it's a 3 step process now instead of one. What happened here?

    The reviews for the GBookmarks extension agree that there is some problem recently.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/gbookmarks-google-bookmarks-fo/
    The support page lists an email address for support: http://www.suchisoft.com/ext/gbookmarks.php
    I ran a web search for other recent discussion and didn't come up with any answers. Hopefully the extension's author has time to look into it.

  • The links toolbar is not working. I can drag addresses to it, but when I click on them, the sites don't open. How can I fix this?

    There is a toolbar feature in the lower right corner of the taskbar. I tried to set up the Links toolbar. I can drag addresses to this, but when I click them, nothing happens. What should happen is the site/page whose address I clicked should open.
    How can I fix this? Is it a problem with the Firefox I'm currently using?

    I checked out the links you provided. One is dead, one is for Windows 7, which doesn't apply to my problem because I'm using Windows 8, and I've been checking out the third.
    I'm a novice and may not have the right vocabulary to explain myself. The Links toolbar is accessed from the bottom right side of the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Apparently Firefox is necessary to use this, as everyone I've talked to swears it's not visible for IE.
    What I'm referring to is Right-click "show hidden icons." Scroll up to Toolbars. Scroll over to Links. Check it to enable it. Then what should happen is I should be able to drag the address/url from the top of the page to this menu and click on it when I want to go back to that particular page. That is what is not working. Nothing happens when I click the addresses in the Links menu.

  • My frequently visited sites which used to be on a tool bar have disappeared when Firefox upgraded itself in the last few days. How to get them back?

    Was it the Bookmarks Toolbar? You can display the Bookmarks Toolbar below the main toolbar in a number of ways.
    * right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Bookmarks Toolbar

    * tap the Alt key to open the classic menu bar (File, Edit, View), the click View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar

  • Clicking Finder in the Dock doesn't open new window

    I started having this issues today. I've repaired permissions and the disk from the recovery menu disk utility. Anything else anybody could recommend to fix this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • View next received email when I click back into a folder

    Hello
    Does anyone know how to view the next new email without having to actually click into it?
    I have rules sent to place emails in folders when I receive a new emails.
    I used to be able to click that folder and it would highlight the most recent email and I could read it with the preview pane and then click to another folder and that email would be marked as read.
    It only does this for the first mail of the day when I click back into the folder it shows me the first email received that day and not the most recent which obviously is the one I am interested in.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this please. I cannot seem to find an answer in the forums all they seem to do is highlight other issues I have to look forward to, I have checked my rules, I have tried changing view settings and filters. Nothing seems to work
    (as seems to be the case with most of microsofts products) I have a number of issues with this new look office, but this is the one that annoys me the most. I have workarounds for most of the other issues.
    I would like to go back to office 2003, however this is part of a major upgrade (depending on your point of view)  to our systems and as I am only an end user however I will not get a say.
    If all else fails I will be blind by the end of the week and it will no longer be a concern (We have office 2013 on one screen and navision on the other) I suspect health and safety will insist on snow googles as standard equipment.
    Any help or pointers from fellow sufferers would be greatly appreciated.

    Outlook provides the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl + < (Last item) and Ctrl + > (Next item) to view the message after we open the email item.

  • How to get access to the local file system when running with Web Start

    I'm trying to create a JavaFX app that reads and writes image files to the local file system. Unfortunately, when I run it using the JNLP file that NetBeans generates, I get access permission errors when I try to create an Image object from a .png file.
    Is there any way to make this work in Netbeans? I assume I need to sign the jar or something? I tried turning "Enable Web Start" on in the application settings, and "self-sign by generated key", but that made it so the app wouldn't launch at all using the JNLP file.

    Same as usual as with any other web start app : sign the app or modify the policies of the local JRE. Better sign the app with a temp certificate.
    As for the 2nd error (signed app does not launch), I have no idea as I haven't tried using JWS with FX 2.0 yet. Try to activate console and loggin in Java's control panel options (in W7, JWS logs are in c:\users\<userid>\appdata\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\log) and see if anything appear here.
    Anyway JWS errors are notoriously not easy to figure out and the whole technology in itself is temperamental. Find the tool named JaNeLA on the web it will help you analyze syntax error in your JNLP (though it is not aware of the new syntax introduced for FX 2.0 and may produce lots of errors on those) and head to the JWS forum (Java Web Start & JNLP Andrew Thompson who dwells over there is the author of JaNeLA).
