With a new tab, I get a black screen under the search bar with overlapping words of "Editor sites" & "edit" & "search". Change it how?" on the bottom.

There is also a search box that appears in the middle of the black screen. Not a regular search, but its return gave "suggestions" instead. The left bottom of the screen has like a double exposure of the aforementioned, overlapping words. If I hit the Home button I will get the Firefox search screen. But I can't pin even a normal search screen. I have no idea why this started to happen, but I think it began with the latest update to Firefox I did a few days ago. How can I get back to what used to open up with a new tab?
Thank you for you help.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I have Firefox 3.6.9 and have problems with audiostreaming. I have downloaded Mediaplayer plugin with no success. I get a black screen with (audio/x-mpegurl object) any help?

I tried audio streaming. Even after installing the plugin for media player no success. Any suggestions for Media player, winamp or VLC?

Hi, I was extra busy today and then my email went to the next page, I think and then missed your post. Ok, so we have these add ons in FF. Well as you know the 3.6.9 just came out and is new, but I'm sure you were having issues before that, right?
Since Adobe has the Shockwave Player and the Flash Player, which are very different programs and I know they are confusing, but we need to keep the terms separate or we'll get them mixed up:-)
The Flash Player has the Shockwave Flash Object in the IE add ons and is vs 10.1.82.76 and must be Enabled.
In the Firefox browser it has the Shockwave Flash vs 10.1.82.76 plugin and it must be Enabled.
The Shockwave Player has the Shockwave ActiveX Control in the IE add ons and the latest version is 11.5.8.612 and it must be Enabled. I'm sure the Firefox browser has the plugin and it would be vs 11.5.8.612(latest version) and it must be Enabled.
These add ons are both in manage add ons under "Show" in "All Add Ons" for IE. For Firefox they would be in the plugins.
Since we are dealing with Flash Player, and for this discussion we need not be concerned about Shockwave Player, nor Shockwave Director.
Right now I need to know what operating system you use, is it a 64bit and what version of IE you have.
Go to this test site and test with each browser and let me know if you can see the animation and what version is listed .

Please understand I can't troubleshoot the PC with IE & FF and the HTC at the same time:-) Since you said IE is working, we'll see about FF.
Thanks,

When I hit video app on my ipad I get a black screen

I've purchased some children's 'TV series' cartoons for my iPad 2 which were fine to begin with, but now I just get a black screen when I press the 'video' app and cannot play anything. The videos will play if I go into them through the Itunes Store App, hit 'purchased', TV Series and then the play button, but not otherwise. The videos I've made in picture gallery play fine, it's just that I can't access anything through the App.

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

When i open a new tab i get a tab with 2 blue bars, instead of one - the one on top of the site - and a little firefox dropdown - and when i start the next session firefox crashes???

When clicking a link - a new tab opens. But the new tab which opens looks wired: There are 2 blue bars - the one you get on each session(where the red x is which closes everything) - I don`t know how you call this. This 2nd blue bar is located directly under the "normal" one and has got - on the left hand side- a firefox dropdown menue(when you click it you get: New Tab, Start private browsing, edit, save page as and so on.
I can close the session as always but when i start the next session a view hours or a day later then firefox opens all the tabs from the session before as individual windows - and then it crashes. This happens 2 or 3 times - then i see a window where i am asked to either restore the old session(which doesn`t work - it always crashes again) or start a new session - which works.
This is very annoying. Please tell me what to do.
Thank you
richard

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

When I open a second browser window (Firefox 5) it does not open to my homepage. It opens with a "New Tab".

The first time I open a browser window in Firefox 5 a tab opens to my homepage which is what I want. Any browser windows that I open after that open with a "New Tab" and a blank screen. I need to press the "open a new tab" button to get to my homepage.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Get a black screen with a colored border saying that mozilla is not responding. Any help would be appreciated.

Start firefox and get to homepage . When proceeding to another link or page firefox stops responding and I get a black screen with a colored border stating at the top of the page that mozilla is not reponding. Try to go back to home page and mozilla shuts down. Any help would be appreciated. Prefer to use firefox over internet explorer in which case the problem is not duplicated. IE9 works fine. Long time firefox user and hope to continue to be. Thanks

I created an account just to say that firefox is not what it used to be and I'm very disappointed in it and it's developers. I've been with firefox since the day of it's launch. Every new version after firefox 2 has been a let down--- what's the point when I get the same type of ridiculous crashes and freezes? What really annoys me is when I click "new" to create a new message to send within hotmail and it freezes for about 30 seconds to a minute. This happens every time without fail! I've updated a newer version 3 times and still the same thing. I've noticed that there have been more new releases, but I'm now convinced that it's only for show--- trying to stack up to Opera. Firefox copies off of Opera a lot, but it's too bad the developers can't copy it's stability. Who wants to have to read through forums looking for a fix... who has time for that? I don't want to, but I'm really considering leaving firefox for good. Please, get it together and FIX firefox.

Adobe Premiere Elements 13 comes with a new tab called eLive. Where is it?

Where is it?`
Adobe Premiere Elements 13 comes with a new tab called eLive..

AxCxS12
Thanks for the reply.
The availability of Elements Online features can sometimes be country dependant. But, I had not run into any mention of that for
eLive (Elements Live), the new feature in Premiere Elements 13.
I will have to look deeper into that. If you get any information on this from Adobe in your country, please let us know.

When I try to enlarge pictures in iPhoto I get a black screen with an triangle with a "!".

My iMac hard drive crashed and I reloaded Lion and applications including iPhoto. I reloaded the iPhoto database from a backup hard drive. When I open iPhoto I can see my pictures in their events groups. However, when I try to enlarge them I get a black screen with an traingle with an "!". How do I correct the problem.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page, instead of my home page. How do I change that? Thanks

I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

Since a new update, every time I open up a new tab I get a menu of my most used pages. I hate this how do I get rid of it?

My firefox updated yesterday.
When I press ctrl+t for a new tab, I get a menu of the most visited site instead of a tab of my home page.
I can't stand this feature, how do I disable it?

hello, please refer to the following article in order to switch the new tab page off: [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]]

When I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

In the past, when I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

I had that too. On the bottom right of the AVG search page is a link which leads you to where you can switch it off. This restores normal Speed Dial operation.
This hijacking has really cheesed me off. I've just downloaded Avast and am going to put it on in place of AVG.

When opening a new tab, can I make it go to my homepage? Currently "AVG Safe Search" opens with a new tab, I want it gone!

I downloaded the latest AVG update and with it they were more than happy to hit me with a stupid search bar at the top of Firefox, as well, when I open a new tab it goes to a page that looks like Google but is the AVG Safe Search page. I don't want it to happen! I would like if I could set it so Google home opens when I open a new tab but I haven't been able to find that option.

Try this?

Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:
http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

Pro won't start. Instead get a black screen and a beeping every 2 seconds. LIght at front right corner of keyboard flashes in sequence with beeping.

If it is giving a single beep every two seconds, then it is not seeing any of the memory. You could try taking the back off, remove the memory module and reinsert to see if that corrects the problem. Or just take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs do that for you.
If you are uncertain about working on the memory modules, you can find on-line videos for doing so at OWC, http://www.macsales.com where you can see the procedure for your year, make and model of MacBook Pro.

With a new tab, I get a black screen under the search bar with overlapping words of "Editor sites" & "edit" & "search". Change it how?" on the bottom.
