When I open firefox a new window automatically opens at the top left corner of windows. I can only close it through taskbar. I cannot maximize or move it.

i think this problem startedafter some online installations . there is a black window appearing everytime i open it. I tried reinstalling firefox but i dint want to lose any of ma plugins so during reinstallation i kept ma plugins. And the problem still exists.

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.

I would like to download a video from youtube in firefox. Also, I can't find the Firefox button others are referring to in the top left corner. (Windows XP)

I found a video on downloading a video from Youtube without downloading additional software. It looks straightforward enough. Problem is, the top bar of my screen does not have the Firefox button that others refer to. Other than that, Firefox has made for a great browsing experience.

Not really. 
The current Firefox release is Firefox 27.0.
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 27.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

That's exactly what it does, refresh your contacts. As an example if you add a contact on your Mac or iPad and you use iCloud to sync them altogether, then this can be used to refresh the contacts on your iPhone.

No.

My MacBook Pro just turned itself off while installing Windows 7. It has now got a black screen with a white flashing bar in the top left corner...what can I do?

I was just installing windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro. I selected to have 200GB for Windows and the rest leave for Mac.
I clicked install and the bar filled up as it should do. However, once the install had completed, my MacBook turned itself off. I assumed this was normal. Now, my MacBook has a black screen with a white flashing underscore in the top left corner.
What is wrong and what should I do?

Hold down the Option key when starting up then on the sceen that comes up select Mac OS X to boot from.
The Win 7 install didn't go well and is hung in some way. You should use boot camp assistant to remove the win partition and start over.
Make sure you are using a Retail version of Win 7. A Branded OEM version, like ones from Dell and HP, will NOT work to install Windows 7 on your Mac.

I think the tiny MySearchDial logo in the bottom left corner gives it away. That is one of your extensions. However, I believe it installs through the Windows Control Panel, so I suggest starting there.
Open Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. I suggest clicking the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some free software you installed. Take out as much trash as possible here.
In Firefox, open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that flush the page?

Under Windows 7, 64-bit, Firefox intermittently will not open a new window - all I get is a grey screen, with a tiny part of my homepage displayed in the top left corner of the screen.

The problem began after a recent Firefox update. Occasionally, when I try to open a new Firefox window, all I get is a grey screen with a tiny section of my homepage visible in the top left corner of the screen. NOTE: Firefox stores all of these aborted attempts, as, whenever I close it and then re-open it, the first time I open a new window it automatically opens all of the windows that had originally failed to open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== on or about June 26, 2010

Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

I don't think there is an option for logging off in the Hot Corners, but check Mission Control System Prefs, Hot Corners button. What is set in the top, left.

hi

Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

I have a small window quickly popping up and disappearing in the top left corner of my screen?

I apologize in advance if this has been covered elsewhere, but I have been searching and haven't found anything yet. And thank you for any help you can offer, it is greatly appreciated.
Every 15 seconds or so a small, empty window will pop up in the top left corner of my screen and then vanish instantly. It opens and closes in a blink, so quickly that I am not able to interact with the window in any way. However, it shows up momentarily as a firefox tab on my bottom panel, so I know it is a firefox problem.
It is only an issue because whenever it pops up I am exited from fullscreen if I am watching a video online, and anything that I am typing while the window pops up will be ignored.
I am currently running Linux Mint Olivia 15 Cinnamon. However, I had the exact same problem when I was running Windows 8. In both cases, firefox has been installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled, which does not fix anything. I have updated firefox since it started happening, which also did not fix anything.
It was very tricky, but I did manage to get a screenshot of the box while it was open.
The same question was asked here, but never resolved: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/953373

Does this only happen on specific pages?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can try to disable notifications as a test (you may want to reverse this).
You can try to set the dom.webnotifications.enabled pref to false on the about:config page.

How do I get rid of this blue circle on the top left corner of my window?

I had just installed OSX mavericks for my macbook and now whenever I open up firefox there's a weird blue circle in the top left corner of the firefox window.

The problem appeared today after installing the latest update on MacOS 10.8.5 (which was out for a couple of days/weeks; I don't reboot my system that often). The auto-update of my Firefox is enabled so I don't know exactly when that got upgraded. Current version is 27.0.1. I have the minimalistic theme enabled "Default Mod 28" from http://gpopper.deviantart.com/.
When I switch to the default theme "Default 27.0.1" from Mozilla, there is no blue circle. When I switch back to the GPopper theme, the blue circle is there again. It is consistently. I would be great to have a Safari-like theme on Firfox, especially for the Bookmarks Toolbar, which is for my preferences too high in the default theme.

Group Chat hidden window blocks mouse clicks in top-left corner of screen

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to report Group Chat bugs or not, but we're using Office Communicator Server 2007 R2 Group Chat, Version 3.5.6907.0.
The problem is that Group Chat places a hidden window in the top-left corner of the screen, and intermittently it blocks mouse mouse hovers and clicks. Many people in our office experience this, so it's not just myself. Closing Group Chat fixes
the problem, and when you click Exit on the Group Chat tray icon, you can actually see the "Logging out" window appear where the mouse clicks are being blocked.
Here's a pic showing where the transparent Group Chat box is lying over my Visual Studio app, so I'm unable to click File, Edit, View, or Git. I used UISpy to find and identify
the transparent window.
- Dan - "Can't never could do anything"

Another user with the exact issue as described above. After spending a lot of time troubleshooting the problem I have narrowed down the events that produces the 'hidden window'. If GroupChatConsole.exe is running and the user locks and then unlocks
their computer, this problem occurs. This would explain why closing and re-opening Group Chat appears to 'fix' the problem. If the computer is locked and unlocked again though (with Group Chat running), the problem returns. It doesn't matter if
the main Group Chat window is open or minimized to the task bar or notification area.
We have tried all the basic troubleshooting such as uninstall/reinstall, reboot, etc. We even imaged a brand new laptop and migrated the user to the newer model, but problem starting occurring again after a few days.
I love troubleshooting challenging problems, but this is something I have never encountered before... and after tirelessly searching the internet, doesn't seem like many others have, either. I hope someone else can provide some more insight or
clues to permanently fix this problem!
Best Regards,
-J
