When I open FirefoxI get a dropdown small sync window that is blank and freezes firefox.

Firefox opens ok, but rapidly has a drop down, small, top-centered window that says "Sync", but quickly goes blank and shortens right at the top of the wind. When this happens, it freezes Firefox and the only way out is to quit Firefox. I just upgraded Firefox to the latest version on a Mac OS 10.9.3 from an older version.

Type '''about:addons'''<Enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

  • When i open an irc link with a channel name that contains "~" at the end, firefox (14.0.1) opens the same channel name but with "%7E" instead of "~" at the end

    when i open an irc link with a channel name that contains "~" at the end firefox (14.0.1) opens the same channel name but with "%7E" instead of "~" at the end

    I can not open the image, but I can say something in general about the tilde.<br>
    The tilde "~" is an unreserved character and therefore it can be replaced by its percent-encoded form "%7E" inside a URI without changing meaning. See<br>
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding<br>
    According to section 2.3 of RFC3986 we should prefer the unencoded form so this behavior seems to be a bit out-dated.<br>

  • In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

    When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

    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:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • When I open Nightly all I get is a small black window that says close firefox

    I have Nightly installed on a laptop using Windows 7. I have been using it for nearly a year. This afternoon, when I tried to open Nightly, all I got was a small black window saying "close firefox." I used Chrome to get on the web, downloaded the most recent version of Nightly and tried to open it. Same thing happened. How do I get Nightly back?

    Any particular reason that you use the ''(sometimes unstable)'' Nightly version, rather than a stable Release version of Firefox?
    Nightly isn't intended to be "used", but rather for users to help the Mozilla developers by "testing" each new build and then reporting any Bugs or 'glitches' they may find. Nightly is between 12 and 18 weeks from the release of a new version of Firefox - the Alpha 1 stage which is 6 weeks in duration.

  • I was sent an .ai file to edit, but when I open I get The document contains PDF objects that have been reinterpreted.

    When I click ok I get a screen full of "This is an Adobe Illustrator File that was saved without PDF Content. To Place or open this file in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator File using the Save As Command." over and over.
    This isn't a PDF file, it's an AI file. It's coming from an organization that provided it on their website for other organizations to download and customize which makes me think the problem is on my end. If I go up to File and Place and up up the file and can see the graphics in the preview screen there, then "placing" just gives me another screen full of the paragraphs about PDF content.
    What can I do??

    Well, it's in a zip file with a lot of other marketing materials found here:  http://nisenet.com/sites/default/files/unmanaged/files_static/nanodays/2015/4-marketing_pr omotional_materials.zip
    I got the same result when I tried opening older versions of the posters going back to 2010.  I do have an older AI - CS3 as it isn't something we use often here in our office. 

  • When will firefox get rid of 'Click Me' as it continally crashes and freezes my computer.

    My question says it all.

    Quoting '''the-edmeister''' and '''cor-el''' from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025706
    That Click Me game is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion on the default Home Page [about:home], that loads from the Mozilla servers in the "Brand Logo" (DIV) section of about:home. A feature that was first used in Firefox 29 [IIRC] just prior to the start of the Olympic Games.
    Also, part of that promotion is addressed in the "Snippet" below the Search Container on the about:home page.
    If you want to block the "Brand Logo" section (and the "snippet" below the Search container) from ever being seen again, you can install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] and this UserStyle. https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo
    If you prefer not to see the snippets on the about:home page or otherwise experience problems with a snippet then you can set the '''browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl''' pref to an empty string on the '''about:config''' page. Delete the '''storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home''' folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit) to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default snippet set. You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-safe-about+home folder. You need to close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref.
    You can open the '''about:config''' page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    Alternatively you can just change your home page to another web page at:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General

    Hey jeroenb16613921,
    Please specify exactly when you get this white popup screen. While opening a PDF or launching Acrobat by double-clicking on the Acrobat icon.
    If it comes when opening a PDF, then where is this PDF actually stored?
    Let me know more on the same so that I can analyze the issue.

    When I open FF there is no text displaying(menus, content, etc.), and most of the window is blacked out. For example... I can see the the firefox button on the top left corner, when I go to it the drop down list drops and there is no text, if I move down the drop down I hit where there is a slide out in that drop down and no text is there. So, to start in safe mode you need to go to the firefox button, and click on start in safe mode. I can't See safe mode or click on anything were safe mode should be.

    hello, close all firefox windows & hold the shift-key while opening firefox in order to launch it in safemode. in the first dialog just choose "continue in safemode" and go to firefox > options > advanced > general. in there disable hardware acceleration, restart firefox normally again and see if this has changed anything.

  • When i open my itunes store, it says secure link to itunes failed and it doesnt load up, what seems to be the problem here? appreciate all the help i can get, thanks! :)

    When i open my itunes store, it says secure link to itunes failed and it doesnt load up, what seems to be the problem here? appreciate all the help i can get, thanks!

    Yes, provided all the media is inside the iTunes Media folder, which is in turn inside the main iTunes folder (which is the standard arrangement) you should be able to move the iTunes folder from <User's Music> to any other path and shift-start-Tunes (option-start-iTunes on a Mac) to reconnect to it.
    If the media folder has split out to another drive in the past, or media is stored outside of the iTunes Media folder, then things get a bit more complicated. I can go into details should it be necessary.
