While using firefox in Windows8 certain pages don't show as they're meant to, FB only shows the upper bar, or I can't see a thing or the layout is wrong. Help?

I've just bought a new laptop that uses Windows 8. As soon as I installed Firefox the program started not functioning. Certain websites are not showing as they should and it doesn't help by updating the page.
At times I've previously used a page such as www.riksdagen.se clicked a link on that page to move forward but later when I go back to the previous page the layout is completely off, all the text is there, just not in the format/layout it's supposed to. This is the most common problem that happens on a lot of websites, and it happens sometimes already on the first visit to that site.
Another example is after logging in to facebook only the upper blue bar shows.
Today when I tried logging in to my email account from www.hotmail.com the upper bar shows that the log-in page is "ready" i.e. the address bar has stopped spinning, but the page is just blank.
Can you tell me what's wrong and how to fix it? I've used firefox for a long time on other computers and never had this problem.
These same pages work just fine using internet explorer, but firefox is my preferred web browser.

I have the same problem in Windows 8 with newest, fresh and clear installed Firefox build. It's also for pages like facebook and so on, many pages you visited before. It's a problem with the cache. If you delete them, all is working fine for a short while.
The problem is thats this will happen nearly every day again, so its realy annoying.
In my constellations, its an Samsung Ultrabook with SSD drive and Windows Standby is used so, could it be that the cache ore firefox could get damaged while using powersaving mode if you simple open/close the Ultrabook?
I used Firefox/Windows 8 on my desktop without any problems but i will build in my new ssd tomorrow, so we will see if i get also problems like that by using energysaving modes (its only a speculation, it could also be another Bug in Firefox).

    Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

  • Why is the bar that used to be on the bottom, now twice as wide and located just below the tool bar ? How can I get it back on the bottom where it belongs!

    FF 4...how do I get that oversized bar that used to be at the bottom of the browser, now located just below the tool bar, back to its rightful place (and half the width)????
    Sometimes I wonder why I go along with these updates, they seem to be more trouble than they are worth.

    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.

  • When I try to launch firefox it won't open a window. It shows that it is running in the task manager but I can't see it open on the desk top. I am trying to run 10 on windows xp. Any ideas?

    This started when I tried to update firefox. Have unistalled and reinstalled and cleared the registry but nothing is working.

    The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
    For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
    1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
    2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
    3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
    4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.

  • Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.

    Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.

    Here is something that you can try:
    # Click on Tools and then click Options.
    # Select the Advanced panel
    # Select the General tab
    # Uncheck Use hardware acceleration where available.
    # Click File and then click Exit.
    # Start Firefox normally.
    Once you have followed those steps, you'll want to follow these as well and see if the lines are gone.
    Click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
    Let me know if this has eliminated the problem.

  • How do i get a larger typeface using firefox and igoogle home page?

    I just switched to Firefox from Explorer 8. (I don't want 9.) I still have Explorer but am trying Firefox and the igoogle homepage type is too small. Where can I change the size or enlarge it? When I open Explorer with the igoogle homepage it is the right size. I can barely see the type using Firefox.

    If it is just the one page, the page may have been zoomed out. With the site on display try resetting page zoom by using the keyboard shortcut Control+0 (zero)
    For more details on page zoom see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Page+Zoom

  • HT5361 When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose "  button is gone. What have I done wrong?

    When inserting pictures in a new mail message using the " photo browser" button I can view and select photos but the " choose "  button is gone. What have I done wrong?

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.
    Karen

  • While using Firefox, a window will start popping up asking me to type in my Kerberos password.

    While using Firefox, a window will start popping up asking me to type in my Kerberos password.'''bold text'''

    I have the same setup, and the same issue. I've gotten to the point where I don't use Firefox for anything anymore if I can help it, because I can't get rid of the popup. Clicking "Cancel" will only stop it for a while, but it'll eventually come back.
    It's happening to my coworker as well, also on the same setup. Both of our issues started on the same day, maybe 3 weeks ago?

  • While using Firefox, a site popped up and said it was Firefox scanning for viruses. It then said I had dangerous viruses and should download a security program. Is this for real? The site was update32.escmce.ce.ms

    While using Firefox, a site popped up and said it was Firefox scanning for viruses. It then said I had dangerous viruses and should download a security program. Is this for real? The site was update32.escmce.ce.ms I googled this site and it does not exist. Now, I am worried about the security on my computer.

    If you're running under Windows, I suggest you download and install Microsoft's Security Essentials. It protects against these types of attacks and tends to find stuff that other anti-virus scanners don't find. You're system could be infected because of that bogus, evil anti-virus scan. Install and run the software while in safe mode.

  • I can't delete movies from my netflix queue while using Firefox v9.0.1 but can with other browsers.

    Using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit; Firefox v9.0.1; website affected Netflix
    I can't effect complete deletion of movies from my netflix.com streaming queue while using Firefox (v9.0.1). I contacted Netflix by phone and we checked my browser settings, ensuring they were where they needed to be. They suggested trying to effect the same using other browsers and I had no problem with Chrome allowing me to make a complete and effective deletion. My plugins are all up-to-date and any incompatible ones have been disabled. My problem has been an ongoing thing for months and I wanted to let Mozilla know it exists. If anyone else has been having this problem, please notify Mozilla so they realize it's not just an isolated incident and (hopefully) will look into finding the problem and fixing it.

    Addendum: The .jpg file, below, shows the netflix popup I get when trying to delete a video.
