Starting a few weeks ago every time I load my home page in Firefox (v20) the search bar, next to the right side of the address bar, comes up what I call blank. It's just a small blank sheet of paper with the upper corner turned down. What should be in that search box is the icon and word "Google". When the icon and the word Google doesn't load I can't type any web address in the address bar and change to that web site. Also, when I bring down the menu of previous web addresses from the address bar and click (highlight) one of them nothing happens either. I have tried about everything I can find on this or that I can think of and so far nothing has worked. Once in a while I might get the Google icon & word to come up like it's supposed to in the search bar but it won't stay. It might last the rest of a given evening but the next time I bring up my home page it's gone. I really NEED help on this. Thanks for any help or suggestions for this problem.

I have installed Firefox 10 and 11 in Windows 8 consumer preview.

It randomly presents unwanted artifacts especially on the tabs. E.g. when i right click on a tab, it may get the color of the firefox button (orange). If I click on sth in a page, some tab gets the color of the element I clicked. Other times, just maximizing and minimizing the window gets tabs colors mixed.

My graphics card is nVidia geforce 8200 GS

I noticed Foxit Reader Plugin throws a lot errors on some pages about PDF document, even though there's none. First I saw this problem on amazon.com. There's no errors on main page, but when I choose any item it throws around 5 errors. Today I noticed similar happens in my hotmail account. When I try to view inbox it throws 8 error dialogs, also page doesn't work in general; can't view emails, navigate folders (just nothing happens if I click). Is there a way to fix this?

Peace be upon you and the mercy of God and His blessings!

I was using Firefox as my default browser for a long time and I love it! But at or after version 4 almost, I stopped using it and switched entirely to Chrome! I don't like the way of loading pages in Firefox 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Firefox is very slow loading web pages on my computer. I know that Mozilla still support version 3.6, and update it from time to time. But they don't add the new features/options in this version!

Take a look at this link: link text

In Firefox 3, there is no hardware acceleration, but after version 3, Firefox uses hardware acceleration by default since version 4. Firefox’s hardware acceleration interacts with a machine’s graphics hardware via DirectX or OpenGL (or webGL), depending on platform. These interactions tend to be very sensitive to the graphics environment on the system (e.g., the specific video card(s) on the system, how much VRAM is available, the version of the video driver, the OS version, etc). I tried to disable hardware acceleration, but it doesn't help. I also tried to enable Direct2D and DirectWrite, but Direct2D is still labled as false in about:support. When I use Firefox 7.0.1 on Ubuntu it is working great and fast, however on Windows it is amazingly slow. Firefox in Ubuntu is different, because they adjusted it and improved it enormously.

How can I fix this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I need to buy new graphics card? Thanks in advance!

I just started using Firefox a day or two ago. I didn't notice a problem with his browser while on Facebook until I attempted to change my profile pic. Now I can't even download a profile photo and none of the profile photos appear when I log on to Facebook.

It can't be a problem with my Security or Account Settings on FB because I share this PC with someone else in my household and they are having the same problem with their FB account.

Thanks.

It told me after the fact that it was not compatible with Microsoft net framework and that when a fix came up, I'd be able to find it. I cannot access any programs nor anything in the control panel.

I receive the following message trying to install JAVA:

Server Problem JAVA Installer

Download File C:\Documents and Settings\DAD\Application Data\Sun\JAVA\jre1.7.0_17\java_sp.dll is corrupt

I have uninstalled JAVA and attempted to reinstall. The above is the response I receive.

I was attempting to play a game on POGO when it searched for JAVA. It came up that no JAVA was found. That is when my problem started. I have done the following:

Uninstalled JAVA and attempted to reinstall Checked the plug ins

Please advise me as to what to do.

Using win 8 consumer preview- did re install synaptic driver and it worked for awhile. It does work in IE. I am talking about the up-down scroll on the right side of touch pad. HP DV6 laptop. Re installed drivers a second time but didn't make a difference. The little up-down symbol comes on when I use the scroll, but the page does not scroll. also works in thunderbird. Used to work when I first installed the driver. Thanks

I'm using Stylish addon for Firefox with a default dark css. I also have changed the default Window colors in Windows registry. This has changed the about:blank page's color to a dark one. But when I open a link on a new tab, before the page loads, Firefox is showing a blank page with white background. I wonder how can I change this white color to a different one.

We recently moved from to an area where we can only get dial up. We purchased Propel Dial Up Accelerator and synchronized it with Firefox. Now Firefox fails to display our yahoo home page as it always did before. Once the page is finished loading we get just a blank page even though yahoo.com shows in the address bar. We cannot get to yahoo.com by any means. We have had to bookmark yahoo news page as only way to get any part of yahoo. We can access our email by going to mail.yahoo.com and signing in there. We have lost all access to our yahoo home page

URL of affected sites

http://www.yahoo.com/

When I go to View -> Toolbars -> and deselect Bookmarks Toolbar, and then again View -> Toolbars -> select Bookmarks Toolbar, the bookmarks appear. Also, when starting up, a blank page instead of my homepage is shown. (Options -> General -> Show Homepage is selected)

Firefox 9.0.1 freezes on a frequent basis when I use tabbed browsing. I click and drag links to the toolbar (as a new tab) and it freezes when I try to release it. Firefox becomes unresponsive at this point. If I wait, it can take, anywhere from 10 seconds to much longer for Firefox to return to a usable state. This problem happens frequently enough that it has become a nuisance. I have noticed this problem on both Windows 7 and 8 (64 bit). Is there a fix?

I have two desktop PCs with identical MOBOs and processors running Win8CP, one has an NVIDIA GT220 graphics card and is on WiFI, the other is on integrated AMD 3000 graphics and wired connection.

The one with NVidia card shows odd artifacts around the close/minimise/maximise gadgets top right in Firefox (actually fragments from elsewhere on the display window) and also oddities in tab colouring with the same prog and also odd tab colour behaviour when mousing over certain areas of some websites (eg gmail). The other machine seems rock solid.

Other programs seem to run fine, inc. Opera, IE10 and Chrome running gmail.

I suspect the NVIDIA drivers or how firefox is coded.

1 Is this a known problem?

2 what further information might help resolve the problem?

3 Does anyone know of if there likely to be any further driver release?

4 Any other suggestions welcome.

Best Regards, George

For reference the mobo is ASUSTeK Computer INC. M3A76-CM
