Sounds like you picked up a dose of Malware.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • Why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only  ?

    why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only  ? why ? is that any problem ?

    are you using the iOS camera? if you do, visit your apple store for further help, sounds like a hardware problem.
    or:
    hold home and lock button pressed until your iphone restarts.
    if that didn't help, visit your apple store.
    if you are not using the iOS camera, delete that app.

    Privacy is an Option in the Settings App, its not in Safari as that applies only to Safaris browsing.  Its called Privacy in  IOS 6  In previous versions the same thing can be found under Location Services.

  • Pages allows reload when I try to go to them and always go back to the homepage of the site I am trying to view.

    When ever I open a new link that isn't the homepage of a site or type in a link, the page always reloads and I lose the content I was trying to view. Many times I have to hit stop so that the page will not reload and therefore the whole page doesn't get to load.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your 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]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your 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")

  • IE Error: "The content you are trying to view is not supported in the current Document Mode..."

    My Captivate 7 project (HTML5) runs just fine on my computer in IE11. My client tried to run it from IE9 and got the following error:
    "The content you are trying to view is not supported in the current Document Mode of Internet Explorer. Change the Document Mode to Internet Explorer 9 Standards and try to view the content again. To change the Document Mode, press F12, Click Document Mode:, and then select Internet Explorer 9 Standards."
    My guess is that they're running it over their LAN, and IE is subsequently running in quirks mode.
    I've changed the metadata in index_SCORM.html from
    <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=10">
    to
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
    we'll see if that fixes it....

    I've seen a lot of threads about getting rid of these kind of messages. Those messages are there for a reason most of the time. If you have CSS animations or other HTML5 standards that cannot be rendered in IE9 they won't magically start working becuse you got rid of a message. I use IE9 since that is the minimum standard for the client. I have never seen that message publishing to HTML5 content.
    IMO, if your client has IE9 I think that you should develop with IE9 in mind not IE11.
    When you say "develop with IE9 in mind not IE11" do you mean use SWF instead of HTML5? I used the standard question types, and a converted PowerPoint presentation. I didn't add anything out of the ordinary.

    H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.

  • Why are Add-on Buttons along with the Toolbar keep disappearing in the Firefox4,5&9?

    I arrange all the Add-on Buttons on a Toolbar created for this specific purpose(Options - Toolbar Layout - Add New Toolbar). I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 12 and that's when the trouble started.All the Add-on Buttons along with the Toolbar started disappearing.I checked if any of the add-on (one by one)is causing this problem but found nothing.But the Add-on Buttons work fine when arranged on the Status Bar(now the so called Addon Bar).
    Later I found out that this particular problem exists in all the Browsers based on Firefox's latest version(Pale Moon,Cometbird,Wyzo,Epic etc). That means something is causing this toolbar to disappear in the latest versions of Firefox(i.e., Firefox 4,5,10 and Firefox 12). So please help me to rectify this problem.I am impressed by the improvements made in the latest versions of Firefox but due to this problem Firefox has become useless for me.
    Don't tell me about "places.sqlite" "localstore.rdf" and all that shit.I've searched the whole God damned Web,Tried changing to new Profile,Deleted localstore.rdf and saw whether it will work.This is my last resort. Firefox 3.6 was a great browser.Within a span of one year you morons have jumped from Firefox v3.6 to Firefox v12! Not allowing the Extension ecosystem to stabilize.Giving no time to apps developers to catchup.The App developers have fallen behind and half of my addons are not working.You people have become an example on how to kill a great product.The guys at MS might be watching in delight the Firefox's harakiri!
    Thank You,
    Helme.

    Since I only ever put add-on buttons on the main Navigation toolbar (or the Add-ons bar) rather than my own custom bar, I haven't experienced this myself.
    Can you detect a pattern with particular add-ons' buttons (or native Firefox buttons) being removed time and again?
    In your new profile test, did you add extensions one at a time (one per restart of Firefox), or otherwise try to isolate particular add-ons as the issue? (Bugzilla has at least one example of an extension causing a problem with custom toolbars: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667627 667627 – divx html5 removes added toolbars]. I don't see this particular extension on your list.)
    I wonder whether some extensions now include some kind of grooming function or incompatibility that removes their buttons from custom toolbars? It would be easier to investigate with some problem examples.

    Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. 
    A suggestion:
    Go to YouTube, open any video and press pause (don't do this while video is playing).
    Click the ctrl key or “right click” the mouse in the middle of the video window. The settings for flash player will pop up. 
    Select the video settings then select "enable hardware acceleration."   
    Press close.
    Now RESTART YOUR  COMPUTER not just Safari if that is your browser of choice.

  • The new design in v.29 is awful. Why on earth would you take away the navigation buttons? How do I reinstall v.28?

    Classic Theme Restorer does not fix the issue. Mozilla is usually so good at user testing, this was a real blunder.

    No, that was a planned design decision for Mobile devices. Unfortunately Firefox now uses the same UI for both Mobile and Laptop / Desktop versions, so the latter "takes a hit" in user configuration choices.

  • I'm trying to do a book using iphoto 11 (9.4.2), but i don't get a low resolution warning. Why? and how can i get the warning., i'm trying to do a book using iphoto 11 (9.4.2), but i don't get a low resolution warning. Why? and how can i get the warning.

    I'm trying to do a book using Iphoto, but it no longer gives a low resolution warning like it used to in the older versions.
    I don't know why it doesn't anymore, (or maybe I have to add it on somehow??) but it makes it difficult to know how much I can
    zoom in on a picture and still have it be good printable resolution.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this or add the warning to the latest version of iphoto?
    Thanks

    With iPhoto 9 the low resolution for photos warning has been dropped. The only warning one will get now is for text that has overflowed the text box:
    As Larry suggested send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to get it back. That's a big omission in my opinion.
    You can determine what your minimum resolution is for your images (if all taken from the same camera) by dividing the pixel dimensions by the size of the larges frame in the book which would be 8.5 x 11. If it's at or above 150 dpi you'll be above Apple's previous resolution warning limit.

  • Why can I no longer seemingly have the "option" in Yahoo Mail, to "View" attachments, and not just "download" them in my incoming emails?

    When I use IE browser to open my YAHOO EMAIL "classic" or "New" account, and I open an "inbox email", I have the option of "viewing" attachments, or "downloading" attachments.
    I used to have that "dual" option, seemingly, using Firefox Browser, which I prefer to use.
    Now, when I open my "Classic" or "New" Yahoo Email Account/s, with Firefox Browser, I no longer have the option, seemingly, to "VIEW" the attachments, but only the option to "Download" them, which I prefer not to do.
    I have tried this using the older version 3.6 and the new version 9 of Firefox with the same results. No "Dual Attachment Viewing/Downloading" option in Yahoo Mail anymore in either the "Classic" or "New" versions of Yahoo Mail.
    Can I correct this or change this back to the older "DUAL" OPTION of "Viewing" and/or "Downloading" attachments...or is this just the way the New FireFox Browser works.?
    This is only happening to me with YAHOO.COM Email Accounts.

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

  • The topic you were trying to view could not be found.

    This is the response I get when I click on any topic in the help center.  Is help no longer available?

    Thanks to both of you.  Unfortunately this did not solve my problem.
    As it turns out, most of the topics are coming up, just not the one I was looking for.  It appears that under the "Essentials" menu in the Help Center, all of the topics are "not available" with the exception of "Get connected" and "Solve problems".
    Strange, but I'll just use the online help instead.
    Otherwise, if anyone else knows why this is happening, feel free to post.  I am curious, and wouldn't mind having my high opinion of Apple maintained.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro. You'll love it.
    In terms of your PowerBook G4, apparently your Hard Disk Drive has failed completely and I am not sure what else it wrong.
    First, try this:
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously later.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command + Option + P + R keys immediately after the startup chime.
    • Hold keys down until you hear the startup chime for the third time.
    • Release the keys and immediately hold down Shift key to start up in Safe Mode.
    • Log in and empty Trash.
    • Restart normally and log in.
    If that does not work try Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
    If still no dice, try the procedure outlined in the article Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck.
