A blinking cursor appears on every web pages.

It's a blinking cursor that appears on every web pages in different sizes when I click anywhere on the web pages.
Look at following pictures please:

I believe that it's been originated and are spread from Google's Keyboard Navigation feature. As you may know, if you are using Google's Instant Search feature, you can use the keyboard to navigate Google's search result page.
I did turn off the Instant Search to disable Keyboard Navigation, but the blinking cursor is still blinking on every Google and non-Google web pages.
Next as a standard troubleshooting procedures for strange behavior I cleared cache and cookies , but it didn't help.
I was using Firefox 3.6, so I uninstalled 3.6 (kept my personal information) and installed the latest version (3.6.13), but it didn't fix the problem.
I don't see that cursor in IE. How can I get rid of it?
Thanks in advance.

In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false if you do not want to use that feature.

I am getting constant ebay ads popping up on every web page. How do I stop this?

I am getting ebay tabs popping up on every web page I view. Tried ad blocker and also tried tools and preferences but nothing stops the madness.

Safari 8 Cuts off the top of every web page

Ok, so I'm looking for a solution or I want to know if other people are having the same problem so hopefully apple will fix it.
As my title says, Safari 8 in Mac OS X Yosemite is cutting off the top of every web page while in full screen. Not just a few, every single one, and it only does it in full screen. It only started after I updated to Mac OS X 10.10.1, it was fine with the original release of 10.10. Any takers?
Thanks,
Chris

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Have to click allow on every web page for adobe flash player

I have windows vista, internet explorer 9 and have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. All of a sudden I am getting a message at the bottom of every web page "this webpage wants to run the following add-on "adobe flash player" I have to click the allow button. This has just started happening. How do I stop it?

Sorry, I don't know. I do not get these pop-ups, so I cannot really test it.
I also do no longer have IE9, and these settings are completely different in IE10. But it should be something under ActiveX.

Many images do not appear on numerous web pages. How can I fix this? I have graphics enabled.

For quite some time many images just do not appear on web pages. I have taken a screen shot of a page to show what the problem is but can find nowhere to upload it so you can see for yourselves. Now what do I do?

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Firefox became incredibly slow on every web page

Hi,
My Firefox became really slow on all the web pages for unknown reason since one month ago, while I haven't installed any new features and was working with the web sites I used to use. Since then I've switched off most of the plugins such as Flash Player, as I suspected that they might have caused the slowness. But it didn't make any difference.
Working with Firefox has really become a pain now as it reduced my efficiency from 100 to 0. Basically every action I take with keyboard or touchpad has a delay, even clicking on a tab it takes 10 seconds or so to switch to that tab, and every time when launching Firefox, my laptop's CPU goes straight up and remains at 100%. Besides it crashed frequently, or pages became wholy black after some time, which forced me to restart many times a day, even if really few tabs are opened.
I tried to check my plugins through "plugincheck" from Firefox, but it has kept loading there with "Checking with Mozilla on the status of your plugins" for hours without showing anything.
I'm running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 with 3 GB of RAM, and more than half of hard drive space remain free. I also have Google Chrome on my laptop but I still prefer Firefox, if this issue can be solved!
Thanks for any help! :-)

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Strange icon appears on my web pages

I have a web site and for a long time now this icon has been appearing in my editor and now it sometimes appears on my live web page this is the icon 
I have disabled all my plugins and add ons have disabled F7 someone had suggested the charset Currently using charset=iso-8859-1) was set incorrectly but my webmaster says that is not the cause,this is only happening in FF in IE it is ok, most of my pages are not affected yet some have 20 to 30 of these icons spread around the page,anyone with some fresh ideas would be appreciated.

I have cleared all current icons,mostly they occur in the back end of my site in my editor page,only recently they have been appearing on my published site. So wouldn't be able to give you access,was hoping someone may have experienced the same problem.
Thanks for the response

An ad for cnn floats at the top of every web page I open in safari and won't go away

For some reason an ad for the CNN ios app is permanently stuck at the top of all web pages I open in safari. There is an x for closing the ad, but clicking the x does nothing. The ad also covers part of webpages which is extra annoying and occasionally I am pulled to the App Store for no reason.
Thanks

I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

Every web page I try to open says "can't find server" I refresh and eventually it comes in sometimes in pieces.

99% of the time a website will not open and I get the message "can't find the server" even happens with Mozilla when I click on help. If I use the refresh button usually the web page will eventually load sometimes it takes multiple clicks on the refresh button. Many times only parts of the page load and I still have to use the refresh button to get the whole page loaded.

See [[Error loading web sites]]
Out of date plugins can also play a role, so update the following:
#Flash via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
#Adobe Shockwave For Director via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
#Java via http://www.java.com/en/
If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

About:blank appears on each web page change slowing laptop

each web page, when opening, displays "about:blank" for a few seconds, then proceeds. Entire Firefox loading and page changes are slower.

You can look at the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto and other mailto prefs on the about:config page. 
You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.
Filter: mailto
If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value. 
You can also try to change the network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto pref to true.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Why is every web page only on the right side of my screen?

Every time I open fire fox browser web sights only appear on the right side of my screen. I am using a flat screen tv as my screen so there´s plenty of room. All text etc on the right is cut off and on the left side there is a third of the screen blank.

Do you have the side bar open (View > Sidebar)?

Safari 8.0 no longer appears to cache Web pages.

Since upgrading to Yosemite, Safari no longer appears to cache anything. Pages reload each and every time a page change is made. It affects both backwards or forwards changes and does not matter if I use the arrow buttons in Safari or swipe across the MagicPad.
As suggested on various other help sites;
I have removed all extensions from Safari
I have put Safari into single process mode
I temporarily removed the Cache folder from the Library so that Safari created a new one when it was restarted
None of the above had any effect, the issue remains.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue or knows how to fix it?

Hi Paul and Welcome to Apple Discussions
Do you have a similar fix for slow Safari 4.0.3 on an iBook G4 running OS X.4.11?
Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
-Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the location drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
-Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Depending on whether you use Ethernet or Airport (wireless) for your setup: Only Ethernet or Airport ought to be checked. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply". Everything else ought to be unchecked unless you use a Bluetooth device.
-Back to the "Show" menu, select either "Ethernet" or "Airport" (whichever applies to you). Click on the TCP panel. There, enter (copy/paste on separate lines) 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 in the DNS servers box - these are Opensource DNS codes.
When done, select OK, then "apply"
Last step: In the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open copy/paste lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
Restart Safari
In Safari Menu>Reset Safari. Select "empty the cache", then reset.

Win 7 Pro updates to Internet Explorer 11 every web page has blank frames and radio buttons. Updates show only IE11.

This entry frame on your page has radio buttons, giving me some editing functions - Bold, Italic, Underline, Insert unordered List, Insert Ordered List, Insert Hyperlink, Remove Hyperlink, Insert HTML, etc... but
I cannot see them. Ever since updating Internet Explorer to ver 11, there is no going back to IE8. Your Tech forum monitors keep rehashing the same links that do not answer this snafu. Your Monitors suggest that the web sites are not running
because they are not compatible with the newer versions of Internet Explorer - well, even Microsoft's websites? When you create a new web interface, why would your coding team make it incompatible with your own company's sites?
The Monitors suggest our cards can't handle GPU and we should turn to software rendering. My card is a GeForce GTX 50 TI and has, according to the manufacturer web site: "Microsoft® DirectX® 11 Support
DirectX 11 GPU with Shader Model 5.0 support designed for ultra high performance in the new API’s key graphics feature, GPU-accelerated tessellation."
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE and Microsoft must realize no customer wants to have the technical side string them along with pointless and futile misdirection to a garble of automatic chat responses that offer incomplete and unrelated fixes
and then expect to gain points in the voting buttons that "this fixed my problem".
Microsoft: you are ignoring compatibility problems with your coding and pretending it is arises from hardware incompatibility or user stupidity. Your code should be running seamlessly, should accommodate existing technologies, and be flexible enough
to accept limitations of older hardware, older websites, and your monitors should march into Microsoft's development offices and demand answers ---- and fixes. Has Microsoft gone into hiding when the latest technology show-piece isn't working for the
rest of the world? We do not exist in a research bubble. We are here in the real world, with aging equipment and tight budgets, and we expect better from Microsoft.

Hi ohernova,
Sorry for the annoying issue you encountered and our develop team are trying our best to improve the performance of MS products, As I know, IE 11 was published after many technical tests, thus I suspect that it might be an individual case. I used to run
IE 11 in my win7, and it works perfectly,
Here’re some test you may take into consideration:
Make sure that you’ve installed all latest updates.
Since your Monitors keeps suggesting that the web sites are not running because it’s a compatibility issue, I suggest you add one site to the compatibility view list for a test, (if you can find the settings in Tools>Compatibility view settings)
Or click Win+F12, launch the F12 developer tool, click the last option, change the user agent string and document string to “10”, check whether the page can revert to normal.
Regards
Yolanda

Firefox has been hanging on nearly every web page I go to, also it will not load any flash video, I have tried reinstalling plugins but this has not helped .

I have tried reinstalling plug ins, it would seem all of them are up to date, fire fox also hangs when I view pictures on facebook while still becoming unresponsive when opening almost any new page.
