  • Suddenly, I got tickets at random on my Firefox Windows. (especially on the edges, but also other places)

    Yesterday my Firefox has suddenly started showing strange boxes on different parts of each web page. For example, there are black boxes above the scroll bar. When displaying Facebook, there are small squares (black, gray, white) in the scroll bar, small IM boxes at the bottom of the screen (those in use), etc. It seems a little better on Mozilla's Support forum, but not at the bottom of the screen or on the scroll bar. Most of the time I can see most of the parts of each Web page. The scroll bar still works very well, like IMing on FB, but small boxes blink and are very annoying. So far, I tried restarting Firefox, checked to see if it's updated, but unfortunately that's all as it should. This is not the case when I use MS Word or Powerpoint, Safari, iTunes, other applications. Only with Firefox so I know it's a Firefox issue.

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch, mid-2010 2.4 GhZ Intel Core Duo processor 4 GB. Mac OSX Yosemite running. I also downloaded an image. It's the scroll bar on the side of the FB page. I can try to get others if you want to see other examples. Squares tend to blink and change shape, so it is difficult to get a screen shot good.

    Thanks in advance for you help.

    When I use Windows Maovie Maker, the program keeps freezing upwards and says that it does not. I close and try again, but get the same question. in the past, I used this program very well without any problem. Now I do one or two things in the tyring program to create a video and it freezes. Any suggestions how I can fix this problem?

    The three main causes of problems of Movie Maker are:

    (1) incompatible or damaged source files.

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp

    Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.
