Why do web pages only fill two thirds of the window?

Websites are only filling up two thirds of the browser windows. The rest is a transparent section.

Hello,
Try clear recent history:

Try disable hardware acceleration:
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might 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.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

I upgraded Firefox, and now there is a blue band on my screen above the window, and I'm not getting the full use of the screen in viewing web pages. How can I get the window to expand to fill the screen as it did before?

There is a horizontal band or gap above the Firefox window at the top of the screen, where you can see the Windows desktop behind the Firefox window. On the left side of this band are the window tabs, and the menu bar, and another bar with the names of the open windows. I would like to have the Firefox window expand to fill the entire screen, like it did before the upgrade. Thanks.

Do you mean running Firefox in full screen mode?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If you are in full screen mode then you can hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

You can also run Firefox in a maximized window to have easier access to the Menu bar and Navigation Toolbar.

Why do web pages only load when I move my mouse around the browser?

As soon as I try to load a site the browser does not load anything at all until I start moving my mouse around. I tried updating flash and using different settings and preferences but to no avail.

Ok, Just found firefox on dads laptop to be doing this as well, and it seemed to be the system time/date wrong.
This caused the addon update checking thing to find that all ssl certificates were expired (the year was set to 1970) I'm not sure how that affected anything, but after setting the time/date correctly everything started working fine again.
Hope this helps someone else

Ok.. see if emptying the Safari cache helps.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari and try sharing a webpage.

Firefox does not print in full web pages. It prints at best the left half of the page. This has only happened recently. It is not my printer as I get full page printing from from Internet explorer and other applications. Help!

Firefox has started printibg only the left side of a web page . I have tried adjusting the settings without any success in fact it made the print area even smaller. I have adjusted all the settings on the print menu but cannot overcome this. How can I return to printing full web pages?

Try the '''''reset''''' described here: <br />

Web Page only works with IE on Windows machine?

I am an MD working at a local hospital which uses McKesson’s Horizon WP Physician Portal to allow access to medical information over the web. It does not work in any of my Mac browsers (Safari, Camino, Firefox, Netscape, IE) and they say they are not supported. They told me this before with the previous product and still tell me that about the Citrix servers they use, however I have been using these for a couple of years, having figured them out myself.
This time I am stuck. Anybody there know why it doesn’t work? I get to the secure web page, and it briefly flashes in my window, looking just the way it should, but immediately disappears, leaving a blank window. Below find the code from the page. Maybe it is an implementation of Java that is a little off, or another example of Microsoft (via IE) violating HTML and other conventions? Any help is appreciated.
I noted the discussion on this forum about Ative X - could that be the culprit here? Can you tell from the code below?

Web Page has ActiveX language, not supported on MacOS

Does anyone know why a web page would suddenly pop up telling me I have a computer virus and need to call them? When I've called they said they needed access to my computer in order to fix the problem - which I didn't do. Is this legit? An Ad?

That is not legit, it is a scam to gain access to your computer and information.
You can protect against pop-up adware with the AdwareMedic tool Thomas Reed has http://www.thesafemac.com Tom is a major contributor on these communities and great security guy.

Why do web pages look slightly blurred on Mac?

I have a Mac Mini and a PC with XP on the same monitor, (using a kvm). Almost every web page I view looks better on the pc then the mac. On the mac, the fonts appear thinker and slightly blurred. the same web page on the pc is much sharper and clearer. Both use Firefox and res is the same on both 1280 x 1024. Even Apple's own site looks better on the pc! I've checked, and the same font's are installed on both. I've connected the Mac directly to the monitor, just in case it was the kvm, but no difference. I've also checked on other Mac's (albeit with larger screens), web pages look clearer on them.
Why does a mac, supposedly renowned for its graphics, not display as well as a PC? Monitor is Belinea 19" flatscreen.

I have just updated to 3.6.4 and my browsers web pages only display in a narrow column in the centre of my screen.

I have just updated to 3.6.4 and find that my browser web pages only display in a narrow column in the centre of my 16 inch screen.
How can I stretch the web pages to fit my screen ?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After ungrading to Firefox 3.6.4

Set the pref <b>browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

Printing does not print the web page only the http info at top of page and dated and time at bottom of page, nothing in between. help! Thanks.

Printing a web page works fine from the microsoft windows browser but fire fox browser will not print a web page only the heading at the top and the date and time at the bottom.

Does that happen on all pages or only on some?
You can try to reset the print prefs on the about:config page.<br />

You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.

You can't. (Fonts increase in size like everything else, not in height alone).

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox

How do I eliminate side margins on web pages in Firefox 6.0.2 in Windows 7?

I just got a new computer with Windows 7, and I downloaded Firefox 6.0.2. I've copied a Firefox profile from Firefox 6.0.2 on my old computer onto the new computer. For some reason, web pages have wide margins, which makes the lettering small. If I push ctrl+, I can increase the size of everything, but the size increases only within the margins, pushing content downward; the margins don't diminish. What is the solution? Thanks

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/

Hello,
There is free software you can download that gives you a graphical image of what files are used on your hard drive. http://www.derlien.com/

Cannot Add Approved App To A Web Page - App Does Not Show in the App Part Section.

Hi all,
I have successfully add an App from the SharePoint App Store to my SharePoint Site which was developed using SharePoint 2013. The added app was successfully Approved then when I try to add that app using the App Part to a web page I cannot Find it
in the App Part section. I looked in the Site Collection Features & Site Features I couldn't find the app to activate. I don't think I have done some kind of mistake. So then what else I have to do to add that App part to the web page.
Could someone try to solve this matter?
Thanks,
Regards,
Chiranthaka

First, are you sure the App contains an App Part? Not all Apps are written to have app parts. Second, did you add the app to the site collection from Add an App in the Site Contents page? Apps that are added and approved from the Store
are added to the App Catalog for the Web Application. You would normally add them to the Site Collection from there after they are approved.
