When I click on 'Tools' and then 'Options' Firefox hangs instead to open the Options dialog box. What can I do?

No further details, that's it: it freezes while trying to open the "Options" from the drop-down menuOutils.

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

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

You can check for problems with preferences.

Rename or remove the file prefs.js and numbered possible prefs-# .js and the file user.js to reset all default prefs.

    When I click on 'File' and then 'new' it keeps open a new file as a layer and not a background. The RGB mode is selected.

    With the new files to open as a layer and not a background, I'm not able to create multiple layers and it won't let me convert the background layer.

    How what happened. I've used PS yesterday and had no problem. Today, my computer did updates mandatory day and now this.

    Yes. You use the option of Pixel of the Ellipse tool. He's so setting pixels as it is supposed to do without creating a layer.

    Choose the option to the form:

    Also the menu layer > new layer creates layers and paper rolled up at the bottom of your layers palette also creates a new layer. I hope these work.

  • When I click on edit and then click on find that nothing happens

    I use firefox 25 in windows 7. Recently, perhaps since the last update, when I click on 'Edit' and then click 'Search', nothing happens, or does it work ctrl + 'f '...

    How does the search bar Firefox changed 25. Now, instead of being a global bar that appears at the bottom of each tab you opened, it appears in the active tab. When you change tabs, you will only see here.

    If you use the extensions focus on the search bar, it is possible that there is a conflict with this change. Could you try to update the extensions and see if that helps?

    To open the page modules, either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then click on the "gear" button and use the check for updates. You may need to restart Firefox by using the link provided if there are updates.

    Any difference? If no, and you have a few extensions focus on the search bar, try disabling the and restart again if necessary.

  • Help open the levels dialog box and save the entered settings.

    Hey,.

    I'm trying to work out how to save the applied middle, whitepoint ect to a variable after the levels dialog box was called from javascript?

    I am writing a script that allows you to adjust the levels on a single image, and then I have to repeatedly apply these settings on a batch of images specified.

    Is this possible? I figured out how to open and apply the levels but not to save the entered settings.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    I use photoshop cs6 on a mac.

    Thank you

    Mark

    Sorry Paul, but I think that you're wrong. The 'adjustment' list should have descriptions for each channel that has been set by the user. These descriptors must have the key for the channel as a referencetype, b/w in a list entry points, exit points black and white as a list and as a double gamma. I think that if these aren't in the descriptor, it is because the user has not changed the default values.

    But what if all you want to do is reapply the same settings later that you don't really need to know what setting were. You simply store the descriptor that contains for later use.

    function newLevels() {
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var ref1 = new ActionReference();
    ref1.putClass( charIDToTypeID('AdjL') );
    desc2.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref1 );
    var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc4.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('presetKind'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindType'), stringIDToTypeID('presetKindDefault') );
    desc3.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Type'), charIDToTypeID('Lvls'), desc4 );
    desc2.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), charIDToTypeID('AdjL'), desc3 );
    return executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc2, DialogModes.ALL );
    };
    // store the descriptor holding the users values for later
    var newLevelsDesc = newLevels();
    // do something else like open another image
    // then when needed make a new adjustment layer using those settings
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), newLevelsDesc, DialogModes.NO );
    
  • RightFax Print Option - does not open the Fax dialog box

    Currently using Word 2003 with RightFax 9.3.  Word and RightFax are offered through Citrix.  When choosing, file, print and by selecting the printer RightFax the fax dialog box is not open to allow the user to enter the recipient, fax number, etc..  The document goes through the server, but cannot be sent because there is no reference to a fax number.

    Any suggestions?  (could not get Open Text support).

    Hello

    You should maybe contact your system administrator and check with them. Also, follow the link that gives suggestions for updating the RightFax feature.

  • In Firefox 40 I can no longer click on the Blue Star and open the Bookmark dialog box

    When the current page already contains a bookmark, this one by pressing Ctrl + D also does absolutely nothing.

    Fix regressions. Please add automated tests to catch these regressions in the future.

    Thank you very much for all of your volunteer work very hard on the browser.

    Hi WalterGR, for me, 40 Firefox works in the same way as previous versions. One click adds a bookmark in the bookmarks unordered folder (you see the animation of the star in the list). A second click opens the Panel to modify bookmark. CTRL + d also works normally.

    Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: 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

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any difference?

  • For the last two weeks, when I click on an item in Daily Kos, it does not open, but rather a box pops up saying "allow" that I have to click. -What happened?

    Daily Kos is a site that collects over the web and passes them along. To read the articles, I click it in the list. Suddenly, about 2 or 3 weeks ago, when I clicked on an item, the page came in white with a small block in the upper right corner, saying "allow." Now I have to click "allow" every time, instead of just go to the item when I click on it. What's past and how to fix it?

    Enable the redirection page...? Many users seems to be turned on an accessibility function accidentally. To disable the block of redirection, you can use the Panel Advanced preferences page:

    "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox) > Preferences > advanced

    Under the mini general tab in the accessibility section, uncheck the box for "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page.

  • Lightroom 5.0 does not automatically open the import dialog box when the inserted memory card

    Lightroom 5.0 fails to detect the memory card and import dialog box open. It has always worked well in Lightroom 2, 3 and 4.  Same cards, same camera, same iMac using OSX 10.8.4. Manual import works OK, the card is detected fine.

    Thank you very much, this TOTALLY WORKED for me.  Win 10, LR 5.7.1.  An inserted SD card of Nikon D7000 in the SD card reader built-in to laptop and Windows automatically started both Lightroom AND automatically went straight into LR import feature.  Perfect.

    (However, if LR is already running, insert the card SD initiates not import feature, despite having turned on the required checkbox in the preferences.)  Nevertheless, it is progress!   :-)

  • When I click "Turn computer" and then click on restart or shut down, nothing happens. No turn off or restart. When a software application asks me to click "Restart now" it works very well. How can I fix?

    All windows updates are installed.

    Reboot, restart cold, don't correct it.

  • When I click on tools, Options, the screen freezes

    Any Web site I'm on, when I click Tools and then click Options, Firefox crashes. I can't update, I can't close the tab, I can't close the browser session. The session does not close when I click on the Firefox icon in the start bar and click Close window. The only way to get the browser to close is Ctrl + Alt + Delete and end of the task (which always shows that it "turns"). I waited as long as 5 minutes so that the browser Refresh or Close and nothing happens.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Windows hides certain default file extensions.
    Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
    You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.
