• Empty paragraphs in a textflow cause error when displaying the text

  Hello
  
  When I create a textflow which has empty ParagraphElements elements in it (i.e. a ParagraphElement childless) I get this runtime error when I try to display the text in a container:
  : Error #2175: one or more elements of the content of the TextBlock object has a null ElementFormat.
  Is this a bug, or is there a reason legitimate for this error? If so, I would like to understand why. In my reasoning, a vacuum ParagraphElement should justifiably in the rendering of a line break. But maybe I think too much in terms HTML here...
  
  I appreciate any light you can throw on this point,
  
  Thanks in advance,
  
  Roland
  
  P.S. I'm using the latest version of 370

  This is a bug in build 370 been solved.

  A work around to a different build gets displayed is also adding a SpanElement to the ParagraphElement.

• Satellite Pro A300-1NT - errors in display driver that causes bluescreen

  Since I bought my laptop in 2009, I got errors in display driver that cause the PC to blue screen. This happens several times a week. Sometimes, it recovers on its own.
  I have not found a display driver later than in 2008 and have updated the latest version of the BIOS.

  Help?

  If you couldn't find a display driver on [Page Driver Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]. You can try to install from the website of the provider (Intel, Ati or nvidia)

• When I click on my desktop shortcut icons in the new firefox 4 I get a dialog box that indicates that windows does not find that the website

  I have improved the previous version of firefox to the new firefox v.4 and now all the shortcut icons I used with the previous version display a pop-up dialog box that says that windows does not find this website, check the spelling - address - etc. But immediately after this window opens the Web site loads. I tried to load the original site, delete the old shortcut and drag the new shortcut to my desktop, but Firefox always gives me the same message.

• New Firefox, will not save the homepage and will open and display all add-ons every time!

  Okay - years old now, I used Firefox ONLY - he had the best extensions and modules from any other browser out there. Add to that, it is safe and very fast. This is my default browser.

  This week I logged on my DeviantArt site and odd ads began to appear in the lower corners left and right of the browser, unlike what I'd never seen before. Add to that, they were very inappropriate. So I guess something was wrong and went through three, as in 3, programs to find out if I got "bugs" the origin of the problems. And of course, there was a kind of nasty bug in Firefox, causing all sorts of questions.

  So, following the suggestions to fix, as well as the suggestions on here, I uninstalled Firefox (21) and then reinstalled the new version, 23. At first, I thought, ' Wow, this is really very fast! When I opened Firefox it does not go to my home page, he went to the Firefox start page, as well as the opening of the tabs for EACH add-on and extension!

  Yes, open tools, Options and reset the home page of my homepage, https://www.google.com

  Simple and something I've done before. I'm a geek and have worked on my own additions. Set up my home page, has been working in Firefox and went to youtube to download a video it would not! So went to DLhelper, read their comments, changed one of the strings and voila! No problems!

  So I thought it was fixed and I was happy. It was last night. This morning, I start the computer and the first thing we do is to open Firefox. And what happens? Oh, Yes, that's right, NOTHING THAT I wanted TO! It's back to the start page of Firefox, and it opens tabs for EACH SINGLE module!

  Holy carp, tired now. So I research of 8 this morning until about an hour ago, so a little more than 5 hours, that I keep trying to fix it based on instructions of Firefox. Go to topic: config, work on channels, change the info from the home page, etc. Save it. Return to tools, Options, and there is my home page. Close Firefox and open and what the heck? Once again, back to where it was, opening, as if I just downloaded this browser. Now, I spent literally HOURS trying to solve this problem and I am so frustrated that I'm almost ready to uninstall it! My one complaint is that I've looked everywhere to try to find this same problem and it does not. Is true, I am the only one having this weird problem?

  You can reset firefox?

  See below for what it does.

  Steps to take before you install Windows XP Service Pack 3

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950717>

  It is stated in "How to obtain the latest service pack XP" is.

  If you have problems obtaining the service pack from Windows Update, you can download the package of standalone update from the Download Center.

  This page will say that this installation package is intended for it professionals and developers. However, you can download this file safely.

  The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

  Download the Windows XP Service Pack 3 package now

  FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed. Back to all the way back to IE6. You want other patches before you get those. Reboot after doing this.

  You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

  Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

  Install it.

  Reset.

  Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

  Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

• Firefox prompts to save passwords of websites. The key to the Password Manager icon appears on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window asking if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions

  I installed the latest version of Firefox on my laptop (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). The thing is that firefox prompt to save passwords of websites. I'll explain you a little more away with an example: suppose I load www.gmail.com. When I login, the password manager key is displayed on the left side of the address bar, but the corresponding window which would ask if I want to save the password or not, does not appear. I tried all the possible solutions. It is true that when I restart firefox with disabled modules (safe mode), password manager works fine. But I don't really use Add-ons that could prevent firefox to save passwords. I disabled all add-ons and ran firefox in normal mode, but the password manager does not work yet. Please keep in mind that I tried everything and that any post not published so far describes a similar problem to mine case. Consider that I have the same I have configured the entire system from the beginning. The problem appeared again from the first time I launched firefox. At that time, I had not installed any antivirus software and there is no add-on with firefox. Hope someone can give me a valid solution...

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  It is possible that there is a problem with key3db and signons.sqlite files that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.
  
  Rename signons3.txt and signons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.
  
  You can add .old files (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) names or move them to another folder to make it possible to cancel the action.
  
  You must define a new master password after renaming or removing the signons3.txt and all the currently saved passwords are lost.
  
  If that worked, then you can delete the renamed files that are no longer needed.

• New Firefox 34.0.5 right with Comcast email does not.

  Just updated the new Firefox 34.0.5. My Comcast email has a number of problems with its appearance, which could not be resolved with the chat tech support agent, as clear cache and cookies. They said it must be an incompatibility problem. Do not have these problems using Internet Explorer. The questions are:
  -The font is small
  -When the electronic display, a part of the text is blocked from using 800 X 600 resolution and screen display is small when reading e-mail.
  -The arrows at the top right has disappeared which I use to get to the old e-mails, unread.
  -Annoying popup ads on the right, even if the blocker is on.

  Has anyone noticed this with Comcast? I prefer to stay with Firefox, but my email can be read correctly now.
  Thank you.

  My experience with Comcast webmail is that nothing less than ~ 1030px horizontal width causes the horizontal scroll bar.

• Firefox for Android only displays the desktop version of gmail rather than mobile.

  Android only question.

  I prefer to access gmail via a browser rather than the gmail app. Tests of other browsers on Android (Chrome and Dolphin) I see that they display a mobile-specific version of the gmail Web site.

  Firefox for Android only displays the version of office on my Nexus 7 (5.1 runs Android 2012) - and therefore more difficult to read and use. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Well, Yes, it's that Word annoying Tablet.

  What I'm going to describe is difficult to type, so I hope that you can open this page on your tablet.

  Select (0) and copy the following text on your Tablet if possible to avoid the excesses of type:

  general.useragent.override.mail.google.com Android; Tablet;#Android; Mobile;
  

  The forum linkifies this first part, but it is not supposed to be a link.

  (1) open a new tab to Subject: config (type about: config the Awesomebar and hit the arrow go or tap Enter).

  You can bookmark it for easy future access.

  (2) in the search box, type agen and make a pause while Firefox filter list

  (3) scroll down to the bottom and look for a preference named general.useragent.site_specific_overrides and confirm that it has its default value true. If it is set to false, press the reset button for it back to true.

  (4) scroll back up and press the big button "+" to the left of the search box to add a new parameter

  (A) the name of the preference must be general.useragent.override.google. com (for all Google sites) general.useragent.override.mail.google. com (for Gmail only)

  If you type this, beware of the correction automatic insertion of spaces and be sure to remove those.

  If paste, remove the part after that.

  (B) on the right side, type Boolean and in the popup, change it to a String

  (C) the value of the preference should be Android; Tablet; #Android; Mobile; -in other words, substituting Mobile for Tablet.

  If you type, pay attention to the excess spaces.

  If gluing, remove the preference name and extra space before this part.

  (D) then click on create

  If you open https://mail.google.com/ must now use the mobile layout.

  Success?

  Edit: To clarify the name of preference options.

• page of coverage in the new firefox?

  I've been using Firefox for some time and love it. But before this new Firefox, I would like to know...

  The former "tiles" is kept in the new Firefox?

  the tiles are as a bookmark to a page displayed in a new empty tab. Here is a picture of what I'm talking about on approx...

• 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.

• New Firefox doesn't let me make a new bookmark in a folder.

  Previously with Firefox I could drop a new bookmark directly into a new or existing folder. How can I do with the new Firefox? (without having to save it and then move it later, I don't see how to do anyway) And how do I organize and edit bookmarks and folders with new Firefox? It was so easy before with Firefox. It is a major step backward in the coldness of the user.

  The star that lights up blue when you're on a bookmark page acts like the old star in the address bar which yellowed on a bookmark page. You would have not used this one.

  I'm not aware of a way to change the behavior of this button.

  To display a dialog box add a bookmark that is by default in the Menu bookmark, you can use either:

  • CTRL + d
  • Right click on the page > bookmark this Page
  • (classic menu bar) Bookmarks > bookmark this Page

• New Firefox blocks hot videos.

  New firefox is hot video blockung streaming. IE and Chrome do not block for the same PC and Internet options. I can solve this problem?

  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).

  Where do you find this scroll?
