It is possible to search the menus for specific words or phrases, by typing into the search bar at the top. For example, typing in the word upload will result in matches on up to four top menu items: Avatar, Build, Advanced and Develop. In short, using search will filter out what is shown in the top menu bar, removing all items except those that contain what you searched for.

Matched items are highlighed in color (you can change the highlight color in Preferences → Colors -> Miscellaneous→ Preferences Search Highlight Color).

To clear the search, and have the Preferences window revert to its normal state, just click the 'x' at the far right end of the search field.

Menu search is enabled (or disabled) in Preferences -> Advanced→ Show Menu Search.

: When hovering your mouse over this symbol, it will open the Graphics Presets window. Please note that this symbol will only show if you have created a graphic preset in Preferences→ Graphics -> General.

If you find the Firestorm seems to freeze up every so often, then try these things, one at a time, testing between each one:

• If you have chat saving enabled, and have a large number of chat transcript files, these could be causing the freezes. (Ref. FIRE-11322.) Try moving your chat transcripts elsewhere and see if the freezing stops.
  You can find your chat transcripts by going to Preferences→ Network & Files -> Directories→ Conversation logs and transcripts location; click the Open button.
• Set Preferences → Network & Cache → Cache Size to maximum (9984MB or the maximum space available, whichever is less)
• Ensure that your antivirus software is not scanning the viewer cache folder. See Whitelisting the Viewer in Anti Virus Software for more information.
• If you have ever enabled “Full Res Textures”, disable this setting. Top menu bar, Develop→ Rendering → Full Res Textures (dangerous). Ensure that this is NOT checked. (Ctrl-Alt-Q to enable Develop, if it isn't.)
• Advanced → Debug Settings → Set FastCacheFetchEnabled to FALSE - then relog.
  Ctrl-Alt-D to enable Advanced, if it isn't.
• Preferences → Graphics → Hardware Settings → Viewer Texture Memory Buffer - reduce by 128. Then relog. (32-bit version only)
• Tip from a user: Windows users: If you're running CrashPlan, open the “Advanced” section of “Backup” settings and uncheck “Back up open files.

For additional suggestions, see the page on Severe Lag.

NVidia systems will freeze shortly after login, possibly followed by a system crash.
This issue is affecting all Viewer 2 based viewers. Please see FIRE-2297 for details.
Please also see the LL JIRAS here SH-2032& SH-2034

Disable Open GL Vertex Buffer objects from the login screen in Preferences→ Graphics→ Hardware

This will likely badly affect your performance and FPS but for now, at least it should let you login untill this is fixed.

Initial reports suggest that the new generation Macbook Airs running Lion and Intel3000 graphics have the same issue as Nividia Cards.

• Language default: Choose System Default or the language of your choice from the drop down menu.

It is possible to make an object or avatar “invisible” - for you only. It is useful in many situations, such as photography, for example, if an object is in your view and you do not wish it in the picture.

NOTE: There is a tutorial video on this topic here.

This is permanent derender; it will survive teleports and relogging. For more information, see the Asset Blacklist.

• To derender an object: Right click it and select Derender → Blacklist from the menu.
• To rerender an object:
  • From the top menu bar, select World → Asset Blacklist. Find the item you wish to remove, click it to highlight it, then click the Remove selected items from blacklist button.
  • You will then need to force a view refresh: TP out and back OR relog. Changing your active group may also work.

Temporary derendering will last until a view change is forced in some way.

• To derender an object: Right click it and select Derender → Temporary from the menu.
• To rerender an object: Simply teleport out of the region, wait a minute or two for your viewer's memory to clear, and then tp back; or relog. Changing your active group may also work.

Note that in Preferences→ Move & View -> View, there is Re-render temporary derendered objects after teleport, which controls whether temporarily derendered obejcts will re-render after TP or not until after a relog.

Please see Recent Crashes on Windows, following a Driver Update for this issue.

If you have Intel Graphics HD, Intel Graphics HD2500 and Intel Graphics HD4000, and are using the 64bit version of Firestorm 5.0.7 or later, on Windows 10, refer to this page.

If this occurs, chances are good that some part of cache is corrupt. Deleting it should solve the problem.

• Locate your cache folder. You will probably need to do this manually, if you are unable to log in. Use a file manager (like Windows Explorer for Windows system, Dolphin, or some such) to locate the cache folder. In its default location, the cache folder is hidden on most OSs. To find it, you will need to show hidden folders. Default cache locations are:
  • Windows 7, 8.1, and 10: press [Win] + [R] and type %localappdata%, then look for the Firestorm folder. (This method avoids having to un-hide folders.)
  • Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Firestorm
  • linux: ~/.firestorm/cache or ~/.firestorm_x64/cache
• Delete the cache folder you located.
• Log back into SL, to a quiet region (try Hippo Hollow, Aich or Hatton). Allow your inventory and cache to repopulate fully.

Windows only: If the above doesn't work, then click the speaker icon in the system tray, then touch the volume slider, just enough to change the volume slightly. It may be that the Windows sound system has stalled; this should “give it a kick”.

If the above fails, then try doing a full wipe of all settings.

This indicates that a debug setting (a control) is missing a comment. It is unclear which comment is missing, but the fix is to reinstall Firestorm using the Clean Install procedures.

Ref. FIRE-12339

This is almost always caused by the MemoryPrivatePoolEnabled being set to TRUE. It should never be set to TRUE. But before you try to fix this, we could really use a copy of your crash logs to help us work on a fix. See here for steps to collect your crash logs, then attach those logs to FIRE-12339.

Then, do the following:

• Make sure hidden files/folders are set to show - see here for steps.
• Browse to your user_settings folder. This is located at -
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings [USERNAME] \Application Data\Firestorm\user_settings
  • Windows Vista, 7, or 8, 8.1, and 10: C:\Users [USERNAME] \AppData\Roaming\Firestorm\user_settings
  • Mac: User/Library/Application Support/Firestorm/user_settings
  • Linux: ~/.firestorm/user_settings
• In the user_settings folder, find the file named “settings.xml”
• Open settings.xml in a text editor - For Windows, Notepad++ is ideal for this
• Search settings.xml for the term MemoryPrivatePoolEnabled
  You will see a block of text like so:

<key>MemoryPrivatePoolEnabled</key>
<map>
<key>Backup</key>
<boolean>0</boolean>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Enable the private memory pool management</string>
<key>Type</key>
<string>Boolean</string>
<key>Value</key>
<boolean>1</boolean>
</map>

• Near the bottom there, change the “<boolean>1</boolean>” line just above </map> to “<boolean>0</boolean>”
• Save changes to settings.xml and edit the text editor.
• Login.
• Profit.

Issues outside of Firestorm can, and often do, result in viewer crashes….

• Make sure your file system is not corrupt by running chkdsk or equivalent for your OS.
• On Windows, ensure that your registry isn't messed up by running CCleaner or similar.
• Reboot your PC and moder/router.
• Ensure that video drivers are current, as well as your OS.
• Do a Reinstall of Firestorm. Be sure to use a fresh download of the viewer; either clear your browser cache or use a different browser for the download.

• If the installer does not run at all, try the following steps (this solution was described for Vista SP1; it has not been confirmed for other Windows versions):
  • Right click the installer .exe
  • Click Properties
  • On the bottom of the general tab is a message “This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer”
  • Click Unblock
  • Installer should run.
• You may have corrupt registry information; refer to this page. This is especially common for those rolling back from Win10 to an older version of Windows.
• If you crash at startup with an error like: “failed to initialise properly code (0x0150002)”, or you get an error that the “side-by-side” configuration is incorrect, or“Firestorm failed to start because the application configuration was incorrect. Reinstalling the application may correct the problem”, please download this and install it, as your system is likely incompatible with the Visual Studio C++ 2005 SDK DLLs: AppFix.exe
• Open the Firestorm install folder and search for any files named .config - delete any you find.
• Note that some anti-virus software will result in errors during installation; more information is here.
• If you are using an ATI (AMD) graphics card, then please refer here for known problems with these cards.
  For nVidia issues, plese refer to this page.

If you are using Windows 10, and have an Intel 2000/3000 or older graphics card, please refer to this page if you cannot start Firestorm without crashing.

If you crash during login, then try setting Firestorm to XP compatibility:

• Locate your desktop shortcut for Firestorm
• Right click on the icon and select Properties
• Select the Compatibility tab
• Check the “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and select Windows XP from the drop down
• Click Apply.

If you get a User Account Control security popup, then please see this page.

If you have just installed Firestorm on a linux system and it will not start, it is highly likely that you are missing some required libraries. You need to verify if this is the case.

You need to open Terminal and cd to the Firestorm install directory. If you are unsure how to locate it, use your linux file manager to find it first; it will help you locate the install directory. Useful shorcuts:

• ~/ - is your home directory
• ~/Desktop - is your desktop directory

so for example, from terminal, you would do something like this:

cd ~/Firestorm

Assuming that Firestorm is installed in the directory called Firestorm, in your home.

Once there, copy the following into Terminal:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ldd bin/do-not-directly-run-firestorm-bin | grep not\ found

This will spit out a list of libraries that are not found on your system. You will need to install these with your package manager.

This page covers login problems which fit the following descriptions:

• You are unable to log in properly without having to clear cache fully before doing so.
  It should never be necessary to clear cache before logging in, so if you have to do this, something is wrong. Some find that if they don't clear cache each time, they get logged out within seconds of logging in, or perhaps they are ruthed or a cloud every time, or even that they crash shortly after log in.

• You are able to log in but find yourself under water (all you can see is a blue screen) at coordinates 10, 10, 10.
  If you log in to an all blue screen, check your location, see if you are near the SIM corner, at 10, 10, 10. If so, your issue can hopefully be solved by one of the suggestions given here.

• If you have more than one account, only one is affected.

• In some cases, you will see that there is an error in loading one or more gestures. If you do, make careful note of which ones, then find them and deactivate them - or better, delete them. If this does not solve the problem, then please read on.

One possibility is that your inventory cache has become corrupted. If this is the case, then deleting it should solve the problem once and for all - assuming it doesn't become corrupted again at some future date.

• Locate your cache folder. You will probably need to do this manually, if you are unable to log in. Use a file manager (like Windows Explorer for Windows system, Dolphin, or some such) to locate the cache folder. In its default location, the cache folder is hidden on most OSs. To find it, you will need to show hidden folders. Default cache locations are:
  • Firestorm Viewer:
    • Windows 7, 8.1 and 10: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Firestorm\Cache
    • Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Firestorm
    • linux: ~/.firestorm/cache
• In this folder, locate the files named data.db2.x.* and index.db2.x.* (where * is a digit: 0, 1, 2, etc; you may have more than one of each type of file)
• Delete all files that match these two names.
• Log back into SL, to a quiet region (try the Phoenix Firestorm Support parcel or a Linden water region such as aich or hatton). Allow your inventory to repopulate fully.

If your issue was a case of a corrupt inventory cache, then subsequent log ins should work normally. If however, your next log in fails as before, then your will need to locate the problem item in your inventory and eliminate it. So try the solutions described below, one at a time, until (hopeffuly) one of them fixes the problem.

This can be caused by an issue called having a “flat inventory.” If you have folders with a lot of items in them, the viewer can stall trying to create the “inventory view” (inventory folder structure in memory). The solution is simple, but tedious: you will have to create more folders (or subfolders) and sort your inventory such that no one folder has too many items in it. Ideally, aim for under 1000 items per folder.

Alternatively, because this is not a viewer-specific problem, Linden Lab can also help you de-flatten your inventory if you file a support ticket with them. Just make sure to log in on the official Second Life viewertwice (once to fill the inventory cache and a second time to confirm that you're experiencing the issue on their viewer) before contacting Linden Lab.

If you use Vintage Skin (default when logging in using “Phoenix Mode”), the “too many items in single folders” problem may be more likely to occur than when using other viewer skins. This is thought to be because the inventory structure in this skin is slightly different from that of the other skins. Try changing your viewer skin to Latency, which shares Vintage's V1-style appearance but does not increase your likelihood of having this issue, or any of our other skin options. Do this in Preferences → Skins. Change to Latency or another option and relog.

There have been cases where people have ended up with a mass of duplicated calling cards in inventory, so many that they end up preventing successful log in. So try the following:

• Start the viewer and try to log in.
• If you are able to log in, open your inventory window, find the Calling Cards folder, and delete all of them, then empty trash.
• Now log out, then restart the viewer, and log in.

Hopefully, this will solve the problem. If not, then read the next section.

Should the above method not give a permanent fix, then you should try to deactivate all your active gestures. Yes, all of them. At the bottom of the Inventory window, click the gear icon, and select Show Filters. Click the None button, then check Gestures. Then type (Active) in the search field at the top of the Inventory window.

The above will list all your currently active gestures. Select them, then right click and select Deactivate. Double check that all gestures are deactivated by bringing up the gesture picker at the bottom of the screen; it should show none active.

Now relog and see if you still have issues logging in.

If this solves the problem, the next step is trying to find the bad gesture(s). The best way to do this is with a “divide and conquer” approach. It is not difficult, but it can be long and tedious, depending on how many active gestures you had. Using filters to show only gestures will make this somewhat easier.

• The idea is to attack the collection of gestures by halves: activate half, deactivate the rest, then relog.
• If you can log in ok, then the problem gesture(s) are in the deactivated half. If instead you have problems logging in, then the bad gesture(s) are in the ones currently active.
• Having identified which half has the problem gestures, again, split this remaining group of gestures in half: activate half, deactivate half, then repeat as before.
• Continue this way, dividing in half each time, until you have narrowed down to the one (or more) problem gestures - which you should at least leave inactive, but preferably simply delete outright.

One final rare case is similar to the above but involves landmarks rather than gestures.

In this case, it is recommended that you box up all of your landmarks, then delete the originals from inventory, then empty trash (saving the boxed copies). See if this allows for a normal login.

If so, then you can use the “divide and conquer” method above to find the problem landmark(s).

Oh hi! I didn't see you come in! You're probably here because you missed the message of the day. It went by to fast, it was to long, or you clicked a link in a goofy motd set up to get you here!

Anyway, if you missed the message of the day and would like to see it again;
At the top of your screen find the “Content” menu and click it.
In the menu that drops down, way down at the bottom select, “Message of the Day”.

There it is, in your local chat as a system message.

[11:28:02] [Firestorm Tip! Did you know you ca… Stop… Wait… Go back… I didn't get to read it all! Grrrr! Clickies! http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/motd]

You can also scroll down this page and see ALL the current messages of the day in both the “tips and help” and “events” message of the day rotations. (I keep this page bookmarked as a fast reference to important wiki pages.)

The Firestorm Message of the Day is currently running on a rotation of thirty four preset tips and help messages or a varying amount of event messages of the day. All of which are displayed at random when you log in depending on which “MotD Cartridge” is loaded. Go ahead, try it, relog, and unless the message of the day is promoting a special event¹⁾ you'll see something different.

The preset messages of the day are split between tips to make your Firestorm Viewer experience more efficient and enjoyable and help topics to help resolve common Firestorm Viewer issues.

I'll list the message of the day presets below so you can see what's in the rotation.

These are the current messages of the day for events which are currently running and have been approved for a Firestorm message of the day;

MOTD: ORG: Sci-Fi Mini Expo
The Sci-Fi Mini-Expo in support of The American Cancer Society and the RFL of SL is a Holiday Season event running Oct 28 to Jan 7! Click for more! https://slscifiexpo.wordpress.com/

These are displayed randomly and are broken down into two groups;

Tips: Which provide tips on how to get the most out of the Firestorm Viewer and are meant to improve your Second Life experience in some way.

Help: Which provide assistance on self resolving common Firestorm problems which are seen the most in the Firestorm Viewer help groups. These may have also been requested by the Firestorm Support Team at some point.

I'll break them into the same groups below;
