  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

  Sometimes when you view an Acrobat file created by others, square replace some characters.  How can I stop this?

  Hi John -.

  It seems that no one has answered your question. Sorry for the long wait!

  Squares can replace characters when you're dealing with missing fonts, or who are poorly integrated. It is important to see the text, you can ask the person creating the document to convert the PDF image pages PDF file, which then displays the fonts.

  Places instead of the characters may appear if you are using a scanned page, for example and capture the text.

• I tried to backup my iPhone several times. I get a message indicating that some files were not available at the time of the backup. How can I solve this problem?

  I attempt to backup my iPhone several times and it does not backup. I received a message stating "several files were not available at the time of the backup. How can I solve this problem?

  Hello Lope8725,

  Looks like you are trying to backup either iCloud or iTunes, but you have found an error on files being unavailable. Can reply you with the exact wording or a screenshot of the message you are getting?

  In the meantime, you can solve the problem with either of those two sections depending on whether or not it's iTunes or iCloud:

  If iCloud backup could not be completed or if you can not restore

  or

  If your iTunes backup could not be completed or you cannot restore from a backup

  See you soon!

• When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. How can I stop this?

  When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?

  Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).

  I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.

  Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.

  Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

• When I open Firefox, I get a page of e-mail, which is operated by Verizon. How can I eliminate this Verizon connection?

  When I open Firefox, I get a page of e-mail, which is operated by Verizon. How can I eliminate this connection from Verizon? It requires me to have an account with Verizon that relates to a telephone service at my home. It is a nonsense. I'm operating an iMac with system 10.6.8.

  It is possible that your ISP sends such a page in the case of certain conditions, then you may need to contact them for support.

  You can check the target line in the shortcut to the Firefox desktop (right click: properties) to make sure that nothing is added after the path to the Firefox program.

• Everything in the firefox browser flashes whenever I scroll, or if all goes on the webpage (videos flash for example, .gif). How can I stop this?

  Since I installed Firefox 10.0.2 (which was about 10 minutes ago), a Web page I load starts flashing if no changes to its content.

  Here are some examples: videos, Flash, Connections... same scrolling causes the entire page to Flash.

  Right now, as I type this message, the text box will Flash each characters.

  As you can imagine, it's extremely annoying.
  How can I stop this?
