How can I get the vertical scroll bar in firefox for mac to operate more smoothly?

This scroll bar issue has been a real pain for awhile, though it seemed to be better for a period of time and now has grown much worse again. I'm using Firefox 22.0. I try to grasp the blue scroll bar (right side placement) to move it up or down for pages that require scrolling to view, and it is very hard to hold and move the bar, plus it often bogs down as the colored wheel shows up as if the software is trying to process the action. It's very frustrating. I'm set to "smooth scrolling" in the Firefox settings, but that doesn't help. Is there a way to fix this and make the scroll bar move quickly and smoothly in Firefox for Mac?

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

    You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

  • How can I get the direction handles to show up for the Position attribute?

    How can I get the direction handles to show up for the Position attribute?
    I have CS3 and I did the formentioned test and was able to make the handles work for the scale attribute but they don't seem to show when editing the position values.
    *I am in the graph editor looking at the "value graph"
    *I select the keys and convert the keys to auto bezier (I also tried the ease in and out buttons)
    *It changed the graph the way you might think (no longer linear) however the handles are not showing to edit further.
    *I also tried using the "convert vertex tool" (part of the pen tool) and still no luck getting those handles.
    *the handles only show up in the speed graph but that does me no good.
    Please help!
    THANKS 

    I don't have CS3 installed on any of my machines any more but your value graphs for position should look something like this:
    There are no handles for position in the Graph editor. You adjust the position curve by editing the motion path in the composition window. Press the G key to bring up the pen tool, then use the modifier keys Crtl/Cmnd and Alt/Option to temporarily switch between select and convert vertex to adjust the paths. Changes will be reflected in the value graphs. You will get editable handles with scale and rotation because these are not spatial properties. Spatial properties, position, Anchor Point, all XY & Z coordinates are edited in the comp window or in the layer window after revealing the properties. IOW, you edit anchor point position paths by opening up the layer window and choosing Anchor Point from the display options.
    The Manual isn't wrong. Here's a link to the live docs.

  • How can I get the book marks bar back to showing all bookmarks?

    The recent changes to the bookmarks bar are really annoying.
    Previously I could see all the bookmarks, even if they flowed onto two or three lines now I can only see one line and the rest are in a drop down. This makes it slower to access things that I go to on a regular basis.
    Also, how do I hide the folders???!!! They take up so much room on the bookmarks bar. It was so much better before the last few upgrades.

    You may have been using the old Multirow Bookmarks extension in Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, which wasn't updated for Firefox 4.0 and 5.0. This is a different version of that old extension, which adds a few new features. <br />

  • How can I get the correct Ship To (KNVP-KUNNR2) for a Sales Document?

    I am trying to generate a report that will (among other things) display the Ship To ID and Name for a given Sales Document.  I know the following information:
    VBAK-VBELN - Sales Document
    VBAK-VKORG - Sales Org
    VBAK-VTWEG - Distribution Channel
    VBAK-SPART - Division
    VBAK-KUNNR - Sold To Party
    I know that the table KNVP will return a list of Ship-To Customer numbers (KUNNR2) for a Sold-To Customer (VBAK-KUNNR) if I also filter by VKORG, VTWEG, and SPART (using SE16N).  What I don't know is which one of the returned values is being used in a particular Sales Document.  The customer in question has 29 Ship-To locations.  How do I find out which Partner Counter (KNVP-PARZA) the Sales Document uses? I don't know where that value would come from.  Once I can get the correct Ship-To Customer Number, I should be able to search the table KNA1 by WHERE KUNNR = KNVP-KUNNR2 and return KNA1-NAME1 for the Name of the Ship-To location.

    For a sales document?  Use VBPA with PARVW = 'WE'.  Also, use the ADRDA field to determine whether the address on the document has been manually changed.  In any case, you can use one of the many address management functions or just ADRC directly to get the name, address, etc., using the ADRNR field from VBPA or if the address is from the customer master, KNA1.

  • How can page margins be changed when printing from Firefox for Mac OS X?

    This has been asked in the past with the thread closed even though the asker got no answer. I have the same problem so I am asking again....
    How does one set the margin sizes on Firefox on the Mac?

    Did not notice that you are using a Mac, otherwise, I would not have replied.
    <s>It appears that page margins for OSX are set at the operating system level.</s>

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • How do I set the vertical scroll bar to be displayed all the time?

    This is a part of program I coded:
    TreeNode root = makeNBATree();
    DefaultTreeModel model = new DefaultTreeModel(root);
    tree = new JTree(model);
    JPanel p = new JPanel();
    p.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 0));
    JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(tree,ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER,
         ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
    sp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
    p.add(sp);
    contentPane.add(p, "Center");
    when I compiled and ran the program, it said
    Exception in thread"main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid verticalScrollBarPolicy
    at javax.swing.JScrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Unknown Source)
    at javax.swing.JScrollPane.<init>(Unknown Sourc)
    at NBATreeFrame.<init>(NBATree.java:59)
    at NBATree.main(NBATree.java:239)
    I would like to know is there any part I coded wrong?

    Take a look at the API again:
    JScrollPane(Component view, int verticalPolicy, int horizontalPolicy)
    You have:
    JScrollPane(Component view, int Horizontal, int Vertical)
