See also this article about caret browsing: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Scrolling_with_arrow_keys_no_longer_works
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.
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.

Sometimes a web page appears with only text and no picures. It is not always the same site and does not always happen. If I switch to Explorer for the same web site it always works

Thank you, it worked with just F5. I don't know whether CTRL + F5 would work because the problem has not come back yet!

On Scroll my web page appears with black background? instead of white; not in chrome or IE

8/3/2014,
Dear Sirs,
I own www.aimcmp.com and I am a computer expert of more than 30 years.
On this one page, of my six pages, Computer Help Technical http://www.aimcmp.com/Computer%20Help%20Technical.php
If you scroll to the bottom you can watch the background switch from white to black and again from black to white if you scroll up. This problem is not present with Google Chrome or IE8; therefore you got a serious problem with you browser. Please fix it and notify me when completed.
I made screen shots of the problem but see no way to upload them?

On Windows this issue can be caused by the DIV container that is higher than 32000px that causes the background image to stop.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

My pages app won't let me open a password protected document on my ipad even though I'm using the correct password. Help?

I've tried everything... Turning it off and on, rebooting, opening the document on iCloud... It continues to tell me the document "can't be opened". Help!! This is a really important document

I'm not sure if this will help, but I had the same problem. My password was correct.... I was going crazy. One time I typed the password and automatically touched the space bar after the word before I hit " Done" and it worked. I'm not sure why a space is part of my password but that must have been how I set it like typing a sentence it's just automatic. Good luck!

All web page display with lines, text are stretched and not legible

all pages are displayed with stretched text, and pictures are also not loaded properly when scroll up and down.

I am having similar problems. Ebay was not displaying correctly until I closed down the browser and restarted. Other websites had the same problem. In Facebook, many links are not working.

Google browser and others show all web page on netbook but firefox wont i have to scrool why can i change settings on firefos to help this problem

all other web browsers when i use on my net book show full web page but with Firefox i have to scroll side ways cant see full width of page sometimes Firefox will show full page but this is not often are the settings in Firefox to help this problem i have the latest version of Firefox 4.0.1

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6. 10.6.7 now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard.

After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6.7. and now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard. Update Software says I need to do update to 10.6.7 which I can't do because administrator privileges are gone. I didn't back-up with Time Machine ,BAD, but I have all files backed-up on another hard drive. Should I just reformat and start over? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

PROBLEM SOLVED! For me at least!
Apple Support gave me the clue - I had run Migration Assistant, and it had obligingly replaced a system file (/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager) with the equivalent from my old system.
I reinstalled 10.6.7 using the DVD supplied and all is well.
The moral is - don't use Migration Assistant.
Along the way Apple Support provided me with a link to download Combo update 10.6.7: this could not be installed on my iMac.
Hope this helps.

I want my privacy settings with using the location bar to stay at NOthing

Hi. I cannot stand how the location bar works with Mozilla. I have went to 'Privacy', clicked on "when using the location bar, suggest", and then clicked on NOTHING. It does not stay with this setting, but goes back to showing everything. I don't want everyone in my house seeing exactly what I have been doing, nor do "I" want to see the addresses and bookmarks listed here. If I want to view all of that, I will got to "bookmarks" or "history".

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
If you do not want that data to appear if the location bar history is enabled then use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the history when you exit Firefox or use [[Private Browsing]] mode.

Hi, I'm having problems with viewing a web page created with Adobe Muse CC latest release, I followed the various guides provided by Adobe, but the problem persists. The problem especially concerns the distorted display (the contents do not fit on the page, so it suits size automatically) to a mobile web page to be displayed not on a normal browser, but in a WebView.

How do I stop my cursor from selecting things on the page? It shows up like I want to type something and when I press the down key it goes through all the words like its a word document.

Using Windows XP and Firefox 3.6.15 web pages print with some of the script as unintelligible weird looking script or maybe some kind of computer script. This doe not accure usingg IE 8.0 with the same printer.

Using Windows XP and Firefox 3.6.15 web pages print with some of the script as unintelligible weird looking script or maybe some kind of computer script. This problem also occurs with the web page on which this question is submitted. This doe not occur using IE 8.0 with the same printer.

These have nothing to do with Firefox.
C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet\Connect
\11\ISUSPM.exe
and
C:\Users\Vinegarhill-User Acc\Desktop\Malware Removal Programs\eXplorer.exe
This one - C:\Users\Vinegarhill-User Acc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ak4dv58c.default\extensions\ \components\afom.exe - is probably the '''AFOM - Memory Recovery & Retention For Firefox Only''' extension.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11922/
My advice is to uninstall that extension. IMO, you have too many extensions installed, and are asking for problems with Firefox. I am not against using a lot of extensions in Firefox ''(I typically have 45 to 50 extensions installed, but the mix of extensions you have scares me as potentially problematic.)''
