When I seek to download an Internet site all that arrives is a blank screen with the word'Done' at the bottom please respond to desevans@***

I am having trouble accessing Internet sites--especially if I want to move from a downloaded site to a link within it. All I get when seeking to dowload is a blank page and the word Done at the sceeen's foot.
There is also some kind of message in the tool bar referring to 'gif'
What can I do to improve this?
I have downloaded the Beta 4 version in the hope that it might have resolved this issue, but the same thing occurs.
Any help gratefully received. Des Evans

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox 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.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls
Which security software (firewall) do you have?
Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.<br />
Kaspersky": "Protection > Firewall > Filtration system: disable the "Banner Ad Blocker"<br />

  • When I try to download a pdf file all I get is a black screen

    when I try to download a pdf file all I get is a black screen

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

    Hello calverone,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To start troubleshooting this issue where the Mail application is not appearing correctly on your iPad, I'd like you to please force the Mail app to quit, and then restart your iPad.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • When I try to download a pdf file in Firefox, I get a blank page with the words "application/pdf Object" appearing in the title bar and no download takes place.

    Using Firefox 12.0. I am told that my Firefox is up to date.

    Hello brettak,
    it seems like there is a bug with your Adobe® Acrobat® Plug-in for Web Browsers (version 10.1.3) and you should check for updates on the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ plugincheck] website.
    Possible solutions to this problem can be found at:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/925824 & https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/925055
    Let me know how it goes and thank you for your patience and interest in Mozilla Firefox!

  • When I click a link within a site, Firefox connects me to a blank screen instead of to the page/document I was trying to get to. Why?

    Let me give you examples:
    1. The USAA website told me to click a link to get my new insurance card. With Firefox, I was delivered to a blank page; with Safari, to my new insurance cards.
    2. Within my bank's website, I clicked the tab to get a statement. Firefox delivered me to a blank page.
    3. The email from the soccer association said click to register. Firefox delivered me to a blank page; Safari brought me to the registration page.

    This can happen if the disk cache isn't enabled (see about:cache) or otherwise the page isn't in the cache.
    If possible then try to open that video in a new tab with a middle-click on the link or via the right-click context menu.<br />
    Then you can close that tab instead of using the Back button to go back to that page.

  • When I try to download updates on my iPad I just get a blank screen

    I can't get updates on my iPad 2 all I get is a blank screen.

    Try rebooting your router first. Unplug it for 30 seconds and then plug it in again. Reboot your iPad as well.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If you still can't connect to the iTunes store, look here for help.

  • I downloaded Firefox to my PC and olny get a blank screen when I click on the Icon, Why?

    I only had Internet Explorer on this new( to me) PC and wanted to download FireFox. I downloaded it to my PC and when I click on the Firefox Icon, all I get is a blank screen with a small menu bar at the top left. I DO NOT get the icons that show on the sample input screen at the top right. All I get is the History icon which does nothing when I press it. I deleted the Firefox app from my PC and downloaded it a second time and it does the same thing. My son gave me this used PC, but it did NOT have firefox on it. What do I do now?

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    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.

  • When I try to access an active link from a website (usually a pdf file), the new tab opens and is labeled correctly; the word "done" appears at the bottom; but the page does not open or download. The same problem does not occur with Chrome.

    Example: on the home page of the website http://www.dot.ri.gov
    there is an active link entitled "Overview of all Iway changes - Fall 2010"
    Clicking on it exposes the following url:
    http://www.dot.ri.gov/documents/iway/Iway_Changes_Fall2010.pdf
    However, the tab remains blank, even though it says "Done" in the bottom left corner.
    When I use Google Chrome as a browser, I have no problem opening that url.
    This has occurred numerous times over the past several days on several different sites--and usually the link that will not open is a pdf file.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the 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 other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • I purchased a macbook air from someone on craigslist, and when i try to download iPhoto, it tells me that these apps were already designated to another apple id.

    I purchased a macbook air from someone on craigslist, and when i try to download iPhoto, it tells me that these apps were already designated to another apple id. any way to reset the app store from thinking it's still alligned with him? Lion was reset already, but this isn't. If i download on my mac mini, will i then be able to retrieve the download on my air?

    Hi...
    On the MBAir drag the iPhoto app to the Trash, empty the Trash.
    Then try purchasing and downloading iPhoto.
    You can re download iPhoto on all your authorized Macs. To authorize the MBAir, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store > Authorize This Mac. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and password.
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • HT5706 I am trying to set up Apple TV with my Uverse WiFi, but I get errors when entering my password.  One site said that Apple TV doesn't work with WPA which Uverse uses.  Is there anyway around this or will Uverse and Apple TV just not work together.

    Trying to set up Apple TV with ATT Uverse.  I get errors when trying to enter my WiFi password.  One site says that Apple TV doesn't work with Uverse because it uses WPA for encryption.  If true, does that mean Uverse subscribers cannot use Apple TV?

    No, that's a rather silly conclusion.
    There are two options:
    stop using the crappy router provided by the ISP.
    Physically connect the ATV to the router via Ethernet.

  • Firfox is ceashing when I attepmt to download a file. Everything works until I close Firfox and then attempt to re-open the browser then it crashes. I tried deleting the download file in my profile folder but it didn't work.

    Downgrade to an older nightly that works for a week or so, then test again to see if the bug's still there. In the mean time, report the bug on Bugzilla if it hasn't already been. There's really nothing you can do about bugs in nightlies.
    (A similar sort of bug that triggered 60 seconds after opening, every time, was what got me out of using nightlies as my main browser.)

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • Can I download an iWeb site so that I can change the html? I need to add a better blog and also some SEO.

    Can I download an iWeb site so that I can change the html? I need to add a better blog and also some SEO.

    Where is your site hosted? If it's hosted on MobileMe you can use SEO to edit the site online.  No need to get it locally.
    If the site is hosted with a 3rd party fpt client then publish your site to a folder on your hard drive, use SEO on it there and then upload the site to your server with a 3rd party ftp client.
    What do you mean "add a better blog"?
