Why am I Having Graphics Problems with the Latest Version 29.0.1 of Firefox?

It seems like after I installed version 29.0.1 of Firefox, I'm having intermittent graphics problems I've never had before with any previous version and I don't have with any of my other browsers.
Sometimes Firefox just scrambles the web pages on all of the tabs I have open. No other components of the Windows XP desktop have graphics problems when this happens and no other open applications seem to have graphics problems. It's just Firefox. Sometimes I can refresh the tab/page (F5) and it clears up the blotchy random graphics characters.
Does anyone know if there were changes to the graphics engine in version 29.0.1?
Thanks!

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Try to create a new Boolean pref on the about:config page via the right-click context menu with the name <b>layout.paint_rects_separately</b> and set the value to true and leave hardware acceleration enabled.
See comment 414 in bug 812695:

That way you still have the benefit from hardware acceleration, but may not suffer from rendering issues.

    What a vague and useless question.
    A search of the forums would have revealed issues that others are having.
    Why does it matter though?  Are you having issues?  If not.. why would you care?

  • I am having major problems with the latest update for my itunes!

    I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'. I have completely uninstalled itunes but now it wont download at all. Have tried downloading it 4 times tonight already. Anyone know how to get it to download? Or what to do?

    I am having problems with the latest update for itunes, it says 'itunes has an invalid signature'.
    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • I have a problem with the latest version of itunes not responding when i open it.

    Every time i open itunes on my PC i cant do any thing and have to use task manager to close it as it keeps not responding

    Thanks but I had already read this, and it was no help at all.  Under the Summary tab, "Options", there is no check-box to manually manage my stuff.  I suspect this is because it is a 2nd gen iPod, with ONLY manual management.  The only way to delete my stuff seems to be to reset the entire device.
    I like to listen to podcasts.  What is particularly frustrating is that the 4th gen shuffle CANNOT play podcasts, but ONLY music, which I discovered after a lot of research and multiple visits to an Apple store.  So I have to resort to an older version of the shuffle to play podcasts  And now with the latest version of iTunes there seems to be no way to delete any podcasts on the older version.  Apple just makes it harder and harder for us podcast-lovers, driving us away from Apple -- driving me away from the entire brand and from ALL Apple devices, not just iPod.

  • Anyone having a problem with the latest number software. Docs do not open Invalid. The index .xml file is missing?

    I have been having problems since updating to the latest version of Numbers.
    When I try to open files I am getting an error.
    "The document “'13 Tax Prep .numbers” is invalid.
    The index.xml file is missing."
    Anyone else getting this message? Anyone know how to fix the issue?

    Jeff Shenk wrote:
    Numbers 3.1 can recognize both the new files without the index.xml file and the old ones with it, which it imports to the new format.
    Agreed on that part.  But take it a step further.  If Numbers 3.1 is asked to open an old document that is still in the old Numbers 2 format that relies on an index.xml file but Numbers 3.1 can't find the index.xml file (perhaps the document is corrupted) then how can Numbers 3.1 open the document and interpret it in order to convert it to the new format? My guess is that this a possible trigger for the 'index.xml missing' error message.
    Interesting link here on the new document format.

  • I think there is a problem with the latest version of Firefox. When you minimize one window (doesn't matter how many tabs) on Mac, it automatically minimizes all of the other open windows. This never used to happen.

    Whenever you have multiple windows open - say one is your Gmail account and the other is a bunch of pages you're using at work - and then you go to minimize the window with Gmail but intend to continue working on the other open windows. Using Command-M (the minimize shortcut for Macs) unfortunately now sends all open windows to the minimize bar in the lower right. Which means - every time I go to look at Gmail, then put it away, I have to reclick to open all of the other windows I was working in. Can this be fixed? It never used to happen.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Because OS X 10.4* does not have what is needed by Firefox 4.0 and newer.
    Linux users are in a similar boat also as they need certain package versions within the last few years as LTS distros (with outdated packages from 4+ years ago) like CentOS is a bit screwed on newer applications like Firefox 4.0. By your logic Mozilla should also support Linux packages from 10 years ago also which would be a really ridiculous thing to do.
    I think only the 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7 is really supported or will be rather when it comes to 64-bit builds (still not officially supported yet).
    Mozilla is still supporting Firefox 3.6 with updates, in which 3.6.16 can be found at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • IPod Music Problems with the Latest Version

    So I am happily using my iPod and iTunes 7 software with my Win2000 notebook and everything was working great.
    Then I get a notice that there was a new version of iTunes (7.1) and do I want to download. So I download and then install the new version. All seemed well.
    The next day, I go to work outside and I plug in my iPod to go to work and instantly notice, all my music is gone from it. And I think to myself, well that was really nice of the software upgrade to erase all my music off the iPod... some upgrade.
    I open iTunes and see that it still sees all my music on the computer. Then I hook up the iPod and open the little icon to see what's on the iPod and all music seems to be shown there but it's all grayed out.
    If I use the iPod menu to look for music, there is nothing shown on the iPod... no music, no playlists, nothing.
    I did a restore using iTunes which seemed to erase the iPod and then a sync. During this process, I could see all the music being copied back to the iPod. Later, when it was done, I took the iPod outside with me to work and all my music was present and played fine.
    Later I came back in and hooked the iPod up for a re-charge. My wife was about travel so I handed the iPod to her. Later I found out from her that there was no music on the iPod... she was not pleased.
    So I look and sure enough, there is a later iTunes software update (7.1.1). I figure, there was a bug in the software and they have quickly recognized it and fixed it. So I download and install this version.
    Same problem. No music on the iPod.
    What's going on here? Do I have to go back to version 7 to get a functioning iPod again?
    Thanks!
    Mike Truly

    I'm having a similar problem since the update, but iTunes seems to be a bit more selective for me. Even though it is shown under audiobooks under the iPod on the taskbar to the left of iTunes, the latest audiobook I purchased from the store--Wintersmith--is not showing up on my actual iPod. I've tried restoring my iPod, etc., and it simply won't show up. So far, all of the help topics I've looked at have really kinda failed to answer this problem with a specific solution; they all seem to follow the "try resetting it and see what happens" script. Is no one concerned about what specifically is happening, why it happens, and how to make the iPod function properly without having to reset it every time a glitch comes along?
    Any insight appreciated.

  • Am I the only one having a problem with the latest network manager?

    I mean, it's working, but once in a while it slows down heavily after a longer suspend-resume cycle. As in, it takes about half a minute before it even starts scanning. It started after the update yesterday or the day before. The systemd journal doesn't list any problems. I know how to setup wpa_supplicant manually and have used that kind of setup for a long time, I'm just wondering if this is a bug that needs tracking down.

    I have no issues with suspend-resume cycle with networkmanager.

  • It seems that a very large number of people are re-installing verson 3.6 due to the vast number of problems with the latest version, will this force an extension of the support cutoff date for version 3.6?

    We had to do some serious gymnastics to remove at least most of the ability to use IPB. We removed it from the gui, but unfortunately, if they know the hotkey, they can still bring it up. Security has some serious headaches with this, as by law they have to be able to track where students go, and going with private browsing removes their ability to do forensic work they're required to be able to do. Not a very well thought out feature from Mozilla in my opinion, but it is what it is. Successive versions have made it even more difficult to remove even the gui portion.
    We do plan to release ESR due to the aforementioned security issues, but testing has been slow.
    But thanks for the reply. I think we can turn off the updates if it isn't already done.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with the stabilization all of a sudden. I did an analyze. The amount of shake isn't terrible but it's there. There are no squiggly lines in the clip I'm trying to stabilize. As you can see in the screenshot that it allows me to click the "Smooth clip motion" but the slider is not there for zoom. Any ideas why this is happening all of a sudden? It happens on all clips in this event. The entire event was analyzed after importing.

    I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
    If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

    Hi David-
    The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

    I am having a problem with the FireFox browser. I have attached two files that best describe the problem. I have labeled them A & B. A is the way it should look and B is what happens after I have I opened several tabs. I can get it back to normal if I click on VIEW than click on customize. When the customize window appears FireFox returns to its normal state. I than click on the done box and go back to what I have been doing. I tried resetting FireFox back to default settings, but that did not correct the problem.
    This began happening about a month ago. Is there a way I can fix this problem? Thanks for your help.I don't know how to attach my 2 attachments that shows the problem I am having.
