Thunderbird on Mac, sub-menus not entirely visible Options. In safe mode, also fails. SOLVED: caused by addon theme font & size changer

I have Thunderbird installed 38.2.0 on a Mac OSX 10.10.5

Even running in SafeMode with all disabled add-ons, drop-down menus in the preferences do not fully open: see screenshot. The more I click the menus, the worse it gets.

It didn't happen in older versions of Thunderbird and Mac, but it took place in other versions too recent. I can't say in which version I noticed first, but in the last year. I know it might be a Mac problem and not a problem of Thunderbird - sorry if I disturb the bad people.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I found the source of the problem (by turning the Add-ons and turn on one by one).
The culprit is the theme fonts & size changer 38.3 (my old eyes can hardly see the default interface). However I have used for years without this problem. I'll contact the developers.

Don't know why the problem persisted in Mode without failure. I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird since then and the problem is no longer in fashion without failure.

I think you have disturbed three for nothing. Sorry about that.

  • Recovery CD/DVD Creator - not entirely visible welcome window - cannot run

    PROBLEM: I want to create recovery disks via the HP recovery CD/DVD Creator.  I saw this program via) 1 Start/PC help & Tools/HP CD Recovery CD - DVD Creator and 2) C/Windows/CREATOR/CD Creator.exe.  Whatever it is, the Welcome screen appears but is not entirely visible (the bottom and right sides are transparent and I see my desktop through these sections of the screen).  I'm supposed to click on the "Continue" button on the home screen, but there is no visible button.  I can't close the window and restart my PC.  I tried running this program several times after I restarted my PC, but have the same results.

    QUESTION: Is there a way I can reload this program, or should I try to create these discs from a command prompt?

    Thank you very much!

    View zoom "fit visible" default definition does not work because it changes during scroll even if the "fit visible" option is checked. How to solve this problem?

    Hi andrik14218037,

    Once you have set to "Fit Visible" it won't change the zoom, scrolling.

    * Make sure that you did not press the Ctrl key while scrolling the page.

    Open Acrobat Reader DC, go to the Help menu & repair the installation, make sure also that it is updated Release Notes | Adobe Acrobat, Reader.

    Let me know if it solves your problem.

  • Thunderbird updated, now will not be opened except in safe mode.

    I'm one of those typical Thunderbird update notice yesterday, asking if I want to install this update now, or something like that. He concludes by saying: Thunderbird needs to restart and I wanted to restart now. I said yes, and Thunderbird has not opened since. It won't open unless I press 'shift' for the safe mode - and even in this case, only after, I go to the Windows Task Manager (Vista) / processes, and at the end a process with the name "Thunderbird" if necessary.

    The lightning should work just fine, but something may be broken in your profile. Uninstallation of lightning would be a temporary workaround if your are ready to continue to troubleshoot the problem. You like.

  • Firefox crashes on opening a few seconds. has all of a sudden started several weeks ago and I have not been able to get since. I reinstalled but update did not work. It will not be open even in safe mode. Help!

    Firefox crashes on opening a few seconds. That started everything suddenly a few weeks ago, and despite several attempts to every day, I still cannot load firefox application. It crashes immediately on startup every time anything and journalist accident happens. I studied all the articles and followed their suggestions. I installed the latest version of firefox and still get the same results. I can't even open firefox in safe mode.

    Heather, not sure I can help, I'm not a Mac user, but I'll have a look at the crashIDs that you provided.

    Update:

    There are very few reports recent crash with this signature, they could even be your plant. If you follow the suggestions in the article I linked above there is not much that can be done easily. You should try discount the possibility that the cause is malware by scanning with several updated tools.

    Malware controls
    Have you seen and followed the advice

    Clean reinstall it
    If you find no malware, it can be interesting to try a new re - install and a clean profile, none of them are simple and must be done with care, so first try malware scans, those who will take a while to sort.

    Rather a last resort: fill out a bug report

    If you are ready to try to answer the inevitable questions and have an email account anonymous, that you can use for recording, you can follow the link from the report above and click on 'report' to create a bug report on the crash.

  • Font size change is not by the external style sheet

    I can't seem to get fonts seem to be the right size, especially the heads. The head of the sidebar displays no formatting. I thought that the size of the police indicated that #sidebar p would show a < p > in a div or < h1 > for #sidebar h1. I seem to be missing some vital information! This is my first attempt at a site built entirely with CSS. I used #sidebar q for a quote in the sidebar, but fill only works when I put the least < q > < p > and I don't think that I would need to wrap in the < p > tags.

    Thoughts?

    Your font sizes do not work is because you have a space between the size and unit of measure. Instead:

    font-size: .9 em;
    

    You should have this:

    font-size: .9em;
    

    You have the same problem with a large number of measures.

  • 15.0.1 Firefox does not load disqus even in safe mode

    It is the site of NPR. I cleared my cache, deleted all cookies and restarted in safe mode. Disqus loads still constantly without never get there. Is what do you think?

    Could you test in a clean profile? And more without going through your currently installed extensions and custom parameters, you need database parameters completely fresh and cool a cache folder.

    Close Firefox and starts in the Profile Manager:

    Start > Search: firefox.exe Pei {ENTER}

    Click on create and accept the default values and start in the new profile. To switch between profiles boards, close Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    NPR/DISQUS works better?

    Note that you could also disable plugins here:

  • I was not able to get on firefox for weeks! It crashes on opening a few seconds. I reinstalled hoping to be updated, but that has not worked. It will not be open even in safe mode. I'm desperate...

    all of a sudden a few weeks ago, I can't have on firefox. It crashes immediately on startup every time anything and journalist accident happens. I studied all the articles and followed their suggestions. I installed the latest version of firefox and still get the same results. I can't even open firefox in safe mode. I don't ' know what else to try and really need my favorite browser back and all my favorites and passwords...

    Since I exhausted all angles throughout January and early February, I can't really identify what makes the difference, but today... IT WORKS NOW! Firefox has been removed from my computer for a few weeks now, so with renewed determination I searched all single folder on my entire hard drive and found 3 random files with mozilla or any part of the word inside mozilla and erased. I turned off the computer and restarted a few hours later. I downloaded firefox 10 (still higher version than the one I was updating of a month) from google chrome and installed it. so thank you for your comments and help!

  • Satellite L500 is not working correctly even on Safe Mode

    Hello

    I bought a L500 six months ago and now it is almost useless. Trying to operate it by booting normally it is impossible, taking more than 40 minutes just to start. Get any running program or any open window takes several minutes, or not at all.

    I tried to restore the computer to an earlier date, but he goes back to two weeks ago and is still faced with the same problems. I checked for bad sectors and not found. I also tried to do a CHKDSK, but finally, it freezes after a few hours during step 4 of 5, in the following file:
    [Users\DANIEL ~ 1\AppData\Local\MICROS ~ 1\Windows\TEMP OR~1\Content.IE5\FIA7RO0V\combo[1]

    I can use the computer in Mode safe, most of the time, but when moving information it tends to block or slow down a lot. I've been back up my information and as many times it freezes during the process.

    I've been using Microsoft Security Essentials, but it has been disabled. I can t get back, even if I was constantly using USBs change information between computers and no viruses have been detected in the my other computer.

    I remember that one of the things that began to work strangely been WMP, VLC, as well as movies recorded on the disk and a few music albums would start freezing after 5 minutes to be played, and then play again for a while and freezing later again.

    What do you think is the problem? What is the same, it will be a problem under warranty?

    Please let me know what to do!

    Hey Buddy,

    > Does that, it will be a problem under warranty?
    It s only covered by the warranty if it s a bad material work but if it s just a driver or software issue it s no guarantee and you have to pay for this service.

    In any case, it is difficult to tell what the problem is but theoretically, it might be software related only, and even in safe mode, you have several questions, I would try reinstalling Windows from Toshiba recovery disc. This can restore the original (on the parameters of the box) settings and with these settings, everything should work fine. Then you can make sure that it s no problem software or driver because the recovery image is pretested by Toshiba.

    If you still have problems after the installation of recovery contact an ASP!

  • Blue screen. Windows does not start. Even on Safe Mode!

    When I turned on my laptop the windows logo and everything is in place. But then comes the black screen and ask the options to start windows normally, start in safe mode, ect. I chose to start normally, then a blue screen appears which says that the computer has shut down to prevent damage. He said that I had to disable all anitivirus and other things that I don't have to read. I tried every other selection as start in safe mode, start in safe mode with command prompt, in the other options, I get the same blue screen. I really need to get this problem fixed. I have no CD of installition XP, I have no CD of restoration, I have nothing to work with, so I just need to know a way around it.

    There is no magical way around that without any installation disc. Most laptops come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

    These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

    Before you try to restore the computer, you must determine if the material is good. You can test yourself:

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Hardware_Tshoot

    A good troubleshooting step is to start with a Linux Live CD. I like Knoppix, but there are others. This has two advantages: 1) if the system works, you can back up all the data that missed your last backup; and (2) with the machine running Linux allows to determine whether the problems are caused by software or hardware. If the machine is unbearably slow and/or Linux cannot run correctly, you know that the hardware is at fault. If the machine behaves perfectly under Linux, you know that the software (Windows) is at fault.

    If the equipment is faulty, if you replace it or not depends of which component is bad and the age of the machine.

    If the material is good (maybe Windows has been severely infected with a virus/malware and that's why he no longer starts for example), then perform a restore if you plant using any method has been provided by the computer laptop mftr.

    If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad).

  • XP labors heavily and Will does not start (sometimes even in safe mode.) "And if it starts in the DM, it will freeze when I try to enter to change anything).

    I have a XP computer. During use, the power supply cord unplugged and computer is dead. When I tried to restart it, it will go to the blue screen with an error, go to the screen that asks if I want to start in safe mode. It does not start in normal mode, but it does get my wallpaper and stay there. Sometimes Windows XP screen and stay there. It really starts to make a lot of noise when one of these things happens. Don't know what to do. I have a XP OS disk Dell provided with the computer. Any ideas?

    Repair the Windows XP installation - you should have all your files intact.

    A repair install will replace the system files with the files on the XP CD used to the repair facility. It will leave your applications and settings intact, but Windows updates will have to be reapplied.

  • Windows does not start successfully - only in safe mode.

    I have a 3200 HP with XP Home Edition. Windows starts only in Mode safe when I download Service Pack 3. Is there a way to fix this without doing a complete restore of the system.  I've been running without SP3 because I knew of this issue. Recently, it has been downloaded and now Windows does not start successfully.  Only in Safe Mode.   When I discovered this problem, I was able to fix it, but can't remember if it was fixed without doing a complete restore of the system and starting over.
