Firefox sometimes shows a black screen to minimize/maximize.

Firefox has turned my black pages. It's not exactly an accident; Just to fix is to minimize and re - optimize the browser. However, it is incredibly annoying to have to constantly while working. Image screenshot is added under.

It has been produced since I have upgraded to Windows 10. It seems not to happen on certain sites: namely facebook and SAS on demand (yay for the screen goes black in the middle of coding!). Disabling hardware acceleration has not set, and I can reproduce it reliable by typing the code in SAS on request (or the passage of the mouse around) or by accessing Facebook.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    click Help

    then select restart with disabled modules.

If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

    Hi Admin,

    phoechan,
    More than likely if this started after you upgrade to Windows7 then you might have to update your hardware drivers.  Go to the websites of the manufacturers of hardware for your PC and get all the latest drivers for Windows 7 (video, sound, chipset, etc...).  If they don't have Windows 7 drivers you may have questions until they create them.  You can also try to boot your PC and also right click on the game .exe file and change the compatibility mode to Vista or XP.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    We need more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

    Check the drive run at Windows startup?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    This message is displayed because the specified file has an invalid security ID. Each file on a NTFS or FAT volume has security what ID assigned. The ID assigned to the data file does not match the ID assigned to the security data stream file ($SDS). There is a mismatch of Ids. CHKDSK replaced the invalid security ID.

    Black screen with cursor may appear due to corrupted display driver.

    I suggest you try using the steps described in this article and check.

  • New Hp pavilion touchsmart shows a black screen after login

    I just bought a new Hp pavilion computer printer portable all-in-one laptop / tablet that runs windows 8. It worked perfectly well until now.

    The laptop starts fine, the hp displayed logo and the login screen is displayed. After that I entered the password, it begins to load but then becomes just a black screen. My cursor is visible, but nothing else happens.

    I restarted the laptop several times. Help, please. Thank you.

    Hi all

    Please use F11, press it all right after the startup of the device. Press several times to ensure that you access the Recovery Manager.

    Then, when you're there, select the language in the first screen and then "troubleshooting." Then select advanced options. In this menu, select System Restore, to restore your system to a date before the show began.

    In case you have no restore points, in the section "Troubleshooting" menu, select "System Refresh", it reinstalls the system without erasing your data.

    In which case you can start in safe mode, try to search for a program called "SearchProtect" and if you find it, try to uninstall it.

    Let me know the results of the above suggestions.

    Thank you

  • After you install an update to Adobe Flash, Firefox opens and remains black screen

    Firefox was working perfectly yesterday. When I started this morning, Adobe Flash Player was asked to run an update. I did it. Now, Firefox opens and stays black. I tried a reset safe mode and reinstall full. None worked

  • Monitor shows a black screen and "no sigal.

    My compaq pressario turned slowly, so used fxdisk?, but who is stuck on 74% for more than 1 hour manually off computer. but when that I start now I get a black screen and the message "no signal."

    I tried clicking on F8 nothing helps. any help to get my computer working again will be greatly appreciated.

    the main problem is the signal of monitor at the moment.   without a method to view the data on the screen there is little we can do.

    so the first initiative is: namely a signal.

    first of all, double check your wires between the monitor and the computer and make sure they are securely attached and that they are not frayed or folded.   If you have a video card on the motherboard, then disconnect the monitor to it and connect it directly to the motherboard.

    Secondly, after pressing the power button computers on the State on, try to access the bios of the computer.   wait about 3 seconds after you press the button and hold down the DELETE key, or press f10 to open the bios screen.

    If bios opens then it looks like you have a video signal from the motherboard.  You can then exit without saving the changes.

    But if you can not access the bios, then it's a problem.   Perhaps, there is a problem with the motherboard.

    so check your computer manual or online manual your computer to verify that you have taken the right steps in trying to open up the bios screen.

    second initiative: If the video signal is finally resolved, the next step will be to start with a xp installation cd.    This will bypass the faulty files on the hard drive system and allow you to run some commands in order to fix it.

  • my screen shows a black screen and says to enter the system password, how do I reinstall windows if the pc is back to factory settings and wonder a system password

    Don't let me do anything, as soon as I turn on my pc, it goes to the black screen telling me to enter the system password

    It looks like your BIOS password "may" be set.

    What brand of computer do you have?

    If you have an antistatic grounding cable and are comfortable opening your case, you "can" be able to follow a procedure in the manual of your motherboard to reset such password.   If you choose to do so, please be careful because you do so at your own risk.

    Hi, Bach3g,

    Computer brand and model?

    Start the computer

    Open Device Manager

    Check the graphics card driver and the mouse driver that should perhaps be updated

    Right click on the driver, and then select properties - you see codes listed on the general tab

    You see exclamation yellow exclamation or question marks?

    If so, right click on drivers and select update

    If the system continues to freeze, go back and uninstall the drivers in question.

    Reboot and Windows will reload drivers.

    Go to the site of the manufacturer of the computer and look for the driver updates.
