There is a flashing light on my toolbar, and sometimes a blinking black box appears on Yahoo News. I tried to reset Firefox and that has not worked. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and I still have the seizure inducing flashing lights.
When I go to Internet Explorer, I don't have this problem. Please help me because I don't want to go back to IE.
Thank you
In the case where this is caused by 33 incompatible Firefox with your software driver graphics card/chipset, could test you for a while in Mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable extensions, hardware acceleration, and a few other advanced features of Firefox. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
- Help menu > restart with disabled modules
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works
After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).
Any difference?
You can disable hardware acceleration for all modes in the Options dialog box.
"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced
In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.
This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it again.

There is an ornate, colorful background on the header portion of my browser behind my toolbars since I upgraded. It makes it very difficult to read tabs and everything. How can I get rid of him? I certainly didn't he choose or change the appearance. When I go to 'appearance' there is no option to change this. It changes just under the tabs.

Then, even when I load Web sites (like those that we here at my work have created) with very simple HTML and absolutely nothing Flash related, I always get a pop-up asking me to install flash (pop down from the URL bar on the left.) How can I stop this without disable all updates of plug-in?
Also, why in the name of all that is good it wonder on Flash when I have no pages open with anything remotely Flash like on them?
Thanks to anyone who can answer.
my thought was that maybe an extension is inserting the flash code in each page visited...

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?Additional info under troubleshooting information.

People tend to confuse the menu bar of the toolbar.
You ask about the Menu bar? The one with FILE, EDITION, VIEW, FAVORITES, TOOLS, and HELP?
If that's what you hear, right click on one of these icons such as home, reading Mail, printing, etc. etc., > click on menu bar.t-4-2

How can you stop the toolbar of 'charm' of popping up all the time and this HUGE clock
How can you stop the toolbar of 'charm' of popping up all the time and this HUGE clock... I am new to windows 8 and I do not... I much prefer to have windows 7 return... any suggestions?
I preached this whole week... my pleasure to increased win8 x 100 once I turned off the edge of the touchpad scan function. The path may be slightly different, but the synaptics touchpad is the Control Panel / hardware and audio / mouse / device settings / settings / edge shot - and disable "enable edge scans".
This prevents context changes maddening when browsing the web or doing anything on the touch pad really... you can always access the charms on the right upper or lower, and you can always access history FRO the top left corner after that you disable this... but it is much more controlled.hope this helps -

Flash 11.7 shows all content as a black box; outside of Youtube
It's my problem, there are many like him, but this one is mine.
I've recently updated to 11.7 Flash after being asked by Firefox telling me my current version (11.6.602.180) was precarious. Many video sites make videos like a very bad black box after the upgrade.
Oddly, Youtube seems immune to this, here is my experience with GameTrailers.com:Video area loads, loading spinner appears. Shortly after spinner disappears and area remains black all the time. The shortcut menu provides the options normal, however, any attempt to turn hardware acceleration off is ignored (box is already reticked in re-entrant in the menu).
Things I've tried:
Uninstall Flash
Remove entries from registry Flash
Delete Flash files (appdata, system32, syswow64, etc.)
New Firefox profile
Uninstalling Firefox
Remove Firefox (Mozilla, MozillaPlugins) registry entries
Update Flash to the latest beta version (11.8)Things that worked:
Decommissioning of Flash to (11.6.602.180) immediately solved the problem (although now, I have to click several times, whenever I have want to watch something just to load Flash)
Of course, my current solution is not ideal, so any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you very much!
If it turns out that the problem is with the flash player. I got so fed up that I installed the debug version (flashplayer11_7r700_224_win_debug.exe) thinking I tire out and see what I could see.
However, the debug install correctly, works without a problem so I can't use it to debug the normal player. I will continue to use this one for now.
Cheers for all the suggestions, happy to have this solved (somehow), maybe the next version will solve this problem properly.
