Why do I have 3 black squiggles in top corners of browser window

I have noticed I now have 3 squiggly black lines in the top corners of all the grey frames to windows I open in Firefox. They do not appear in Safari or Opera. Why is this?

I would assume that it is caused by an extension if a new profile helped.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I have add-ons (Convert to PDF, Edit in Contribute, Post to Blog) that use small icons, yet take up 2 rows of space at the top of my browser window. How do I move these items to display on 1 row?

''Problem: too much blank space at the top of browser window.''
• The Convert to PDF icon takes up 1 entire row (predominately blank) of horizontal space
• Edit in Contribute, Post to Blog are listed on a separate row, taking up 1 additional row (predominately blank) of horizontal space
They both use small icons and titles, .5" wide each, are flushed to the left, yet take up 2 rows of blank space at the top of my browser window. How do I move these items to display on 1 row?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode) and choose the 'Reset toolbars and controls option'. This will get you back to the stock icon set which you can then customize to your liking

How do I get back the File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

how do I get back the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help" line of text that I could click on for options that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

I did that (I think I did) however the confusion is that I get only part of the menu and not the most important menu items like "file" "edit" etc. with all the drop downs. It is so freaky - my other computers have no problem like this and I and show the menu bar or not just like you described. I really doubt anyone really understands my problem with it. I took some screen shots of the good computer version and the bad one so someone can "see" exactly what I am seeing. This may be a one of a kind gremlin issue, LOL. Anyway, without those menu items, I am very limited on the usefulness of FireFox on that computer so I have to rely more on Chrome for those features and use the FireFox with Billeo and other tools that still work. Someday it may magically fix itself, LOL.
Of the two images, one is the good computer and the other is the bad. The bad one shows the only way to see the menu items however they disappear after I am done with the custom menu and no other time can I get the items to "appear" it is like they are there but cannot get them to show when in the normal menu bar mode.

Anyone else have a little white box, top left of browser window???

After the new big update, (that still wont allow changing the color of the arrange window...) I notice I have a little white box top left of my browser window, in logic of course, that actually only shows up while cursor is moving. Not a big deal, but I feel it may be associated with a new problem. The browser window is how i usually go through my personal samples, not apple loops. And normally, I open the folder, and play the first file via space bar, or little speaker icon. Then I just arrow down, as fast or slow as i please, and they continue to play, without having to hit space bar or speaker icon. No longer. I have to hit play at every file, UNLESS I manage to skip to the next before current is done playing. Not a huge problem, but when your riffling through a folder with 300 kick drums that are only a half a second long, it can ruffle your feathers. I dont recall ever setting a prefference or a setting, but perhaps one exists..? Any help would be appreciated.

I'd send some feedback to the Logic Devs... to bring back the old functionality, if I were you....
https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html
...as they are not here....... and therefore dont tend to read posts here unfortunately...
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5671
As for the spacebar problem you are having... Not happening here... unless I put the focus on the arrange window.. Click on one of the sample in the browser window and then the focus is on the browser window and the spacebar starts playing the samples... and not the project.
Cheers..

Why is there No visible URL anymore in my firefox browser window?

Sorry if I am being an idiot but the look of my browser window has changed and there is no longer a visible URL for any website i click on when using google as a search engine.
This is what used to happen: 1.Open firefox, 2. a google searchbox would appear in middle of window, 3.type something there, search , 4.click on a chosen site...and it's URl would appear in the window at the top of the page. Then if I wanted to share this I could just copy and paste!
Now, when i do steps 1-4 above i don't get a visible URL at the top of the page. Instead in it's place is a bar with a google symbol to it's left and nothing in it ????
Why is the URL not visible any more ...is there another way I can find it/see it /display it?
Thsi is something that has changed only in the past couple of weeks ...and I don't think i have upgraded it recently ...is this why ?
thanks for your help

Hi Cor-el
thanks for your hlelp! i omitted to say that i am a Mac use and so don't have an f10 key ;-( ...and so some of the other instructions don't work either!
I have tried some of the other suggestions( like looking in customize tool bars) ..and I don't think that something has gone missing. I think firefox may have changed the look of the window?!
I have attached a screen grab below...to help explain...
See the long window at the top that has google written on left hand side ?! This is where the url used to be displayed.
I have discovered that when you are on a page if you click on the icon on the left hand side of the little window/bar...that is to the left of the long one ...and then click more info you can see the page details in a pop up window ( as per the screen grab) . However only the site details can be copied ...and not the individual page URL ...although this appears at the top of the pop up!
I also noticed I do not have latest version of firefox running ...so will remedy that
and maybe that will sort it ...what do you think?
If I do the same thing but use safari as a browser i don't get the same problem ...and the complete URL for the actual page is displayed !
thanks

How to create an MenuBar that stays at the top of the browser windows?

We are trying to develop a screen in WDA. It has a menu (UI element MenuBar) at the top. Based on the menu selection it calls a WDA to display below the menu. The requirement is to have the menu bar be stationary. The bottom container (TransparentContainer) with the WDA object is allowed to scroll, but the menu on top should not move. The scrolling should be dynamic based on the browser window. The bottom WDA can have more data then can fit on the screen.
How can we make the menu stationary and the called WDA scrollable? The scroll bars should automatically update due to different browser window sizes.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. Our system is functioning on SAP Ver. 7.00, Service Pack 16. I do not know when or if we will be getting the upgrade to 7.01 or 7.02.
As far as separating the menu and the actual view, each menu selection leads to the loading of a different WDA view inside the TransparentContainer by dynamically linking the ViewContainerUIElement to different WDA views. The trouble here is that when the View becomes too large, we will have to scroll off to the right or down to see additional content. This results in the menu not being accessible unless we scroll back. The requirement is to have the menu stay at the top of the page no matter how the user scrolls through the secondary view container below the MenuBar element.
So far our best solution was to place an arbitrary pixel size to the TransparentContainer of the view, generating in-window scroll bars for the menu-controlled view. The MenuBar always stays visible because it is on top of the scrollable container. However, with varying screen sizes, set-pixel-size is not an ideal solution. I am hoping that there is a more elegant solution than set pixel size since % does not work with height size setting.
Are there any ways to achieve this via 7.00 layout settings? Or perhaps a method to detect browser window size? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

I've lost the File, Edit, Tools, Options etc from the top of my browser window. How do I fix this?

At the top of my browser page I used to have File, Edit, Tools, Options, Help etc. well that has vanished. How do I get them back?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== not sure when, but after an update, I think.

i pressed F10 then the prob was ok - i then went into the view option and toolbars where my menu bar had been un clicked problem solved :-)

FF4.0 Windows XPv3 drag tab to 2nd screen, drag bar off screen at top, close other browser window, shuts down both browser instances. BTW, look at how SAFARI does the drag tab to other screen, that is how!

FF4, drag 2nd tab to new window.
2. top dragbar is off screen at top. I unmaximize the original screen, now that one also pushes the drag bar to the top off the screen. I resize the bottom of the screen and I can see a sliver of the top dragbar. If I close one browser window, both shut down. Auch!
Please take a look at how safari renders a second browser window when you drag one tab to the other window. Cool!

Why do we have to replace the top case to replace a keyboard?

I see replacement keyboards sold all over the place online which means they must be able to com apart from the case. If this wasn't possible then why are these parts for sale and who are they intended for? People keep saying that you must replace the top case but you can buy just the keyboard from many sources. Can someone clear this up please? There wouldn't be a market for just the keyboad if you couldn't do it, so it's hard to believe it can't be done.....

Found two places on ifixit that explain how to do this... for anyone that may be looking for the same answer. You do NOT have to replace the entire upper case

Why do I have black flashes in some crossover fade transitions

I made a video using a song and beat markers and photographs. There are about 30 photographs in 14 seconds of song. I used crossover fade transitions between every pair of photographs (replacing fade to black transitions) and when I play the video there are black flashes of very short duration between some of the photographs (four of them I think). Why would that happen and what can I do to get rid of them?

If you are ripping "standard" format content (4x3 ratio) then it will just appear like that on a widescreen TV. You shouldn't have that problem if you're ripping widescreen content (16x9 ratio).

Why does firefox keeps forcing itself on top of all other windows? it doesn't matter what website im on, it always does it! Really gets on my nerves when im watching a video only to have it minimized and firefox slammed in my face lol...

It's not to do with what website I'm on - Firefox ALWAYS does this even if I just have a blank tab open! Seems to happen in ubuntu and windows 7. Does anyone know why this is??

Hi,
You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

Why do I have to click open in new tab or window for my gmail links to open?

Hello, When using Gmail in my Firefox web browser every link I click on to open goes to a new tab with a blank page and the following url - https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&view=bsp&ver=ohhl4rw8mbn4. However, if i right click and open in a new tab/window Firefox will then open the link and send me to the page the link was intended to go. It does this with every link I try and open from Gmail.
I tried using IE and Chrome and when I click the link within the email body, it opens it up with no issues at all.
Firefox is my default browser so I would like to not have to do this all the time. Anyone know what is causing this?
I am using the latest version of Firefox and Windows Vista Premium.

Sometimes we see odd behaviour due to a misbehaving add-ons. I suggest starting by disabling all of your add-ons (Tools->Add-ons) to see if any of them are the culprit.

Navigation bar pinned to the top of the browser window

I have a navigation bar and graphic pinned to the top of the window, but when scrolling the page content goes over the nav bar. How can I keep it on top of all the other content?

Hello,
It is quite simple.
The menu is on the master page and this page is always in the background so beneath everything.
Go to your masterpage, click on the menu en use the shortcut crtl x to cut.
Now the menu is on the clipboard.
To paste it use the shortcut crtl/alt/shift/v in every page of your site. (this is called pasteing in place).
Now press in every page (with the menu selected) on the shortcut crtl/shift / ] to get the menu infront of everything.
Greetings Alex

Why is there a circle in the center of the browser window?

Hi,
Sometimes when browsing the web, Firefox displays a crosshair-like circle in the middle of the screen. This just started a few weeks ago. I have not been able to find any information about this. It appears to happen when I type into form fields like this one. But then it persists even after I go to another page or site. Could it be a problem with an Add-On? I have AdBlock Plus and Ghostery installed.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and how to make it stop?
Thank you.

Is it the mouse pointer that changes and doesn't change back? In that case I would suspect an add-on, maybe one related to form filling??
Or is it like a display glitch which is superimposed over whatever's behind it? If it's the latter, could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"

I cannot click on any links from any website if it is at the top of the browser window,all other links I can click on.Any suggestions? Already unistalled & reinstalled.

All links at the top of web pages I cannot click,even side scroll bar does not move until down a quarter of the page.I do not have this problem with IE.

The Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause this issue. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.
