Intermittent problem typing lowercaSe letter S in Firefox browSer.
i keep firefox up to date and problem perSiStS. In lowercaSe that typeS aS "perit" for "perSiStS". If I reStart Firefox it S ok for a while. I recently changed from windowS to Ubuntu and it Still happenS. Only happenS in Firefox.
Re: "Does that also happen with the official Firefox version"; When I uSed WindowS, it waS the official Firefox. In Ubuntu I uSe itS verSion. No difference aS Same problem in both.
Re Safe Mode: After terrible experience with that in paSt in deStroying SettingS even though I did not diSSconect any uSing checkboxeS, I will not uSe again. In any caSe, not See aS uSeful teSt aS never know how long before the LoSS of lowercaSe S commenceS. Can be Soon after Starting Firefox or many hourS later.
I have many extenionS and I have teSted diSabling oneS that may affect text. But turning all off and waiting many hourS each time I reactivate one to See if it iS the problem would take monthS and force me to dump Firefox for Google Chrome. Firefox iS Still better even with thiS iSSue but chrome iS catching up. I uSe many BroSwer typeS for web teSting but prefer Firefox.
I had hoped, poSting here may bring Someone forward who had Same iSSue and reSolution. Did much googling on it firSt. But yeS, I think moSt probably an extenSion at fault.

How do I fix sign in problem with my Yahoo hompage via Firefox browser
The normal browser process, of course, is that when you click on the Firefox icon it opens the browser and automatically signs you in to your preselected home page. Unfortunately I have recently run into a problem with error messages popping up and obstructing this opening process.
Special comment: It started occurring at about the same time my Yahoo mail account was breached and spammed and I had to change my password as a beginning move to counter the account security breach. I am not certain this incident produced my current problem, but it quite possibly related to the cause. It still remains that have to clear the problem, whatever caused it.
These error pop up messages do not occur when I use the Internet Explorer or Chrome browsers, so it certainly appears to be a Firefox browser related issue. I have tried clearing all cookies, enabling and disabling all Java plug-ins and extensions, changing passwords, and nothing has had any effect.
The first pop up window is headlined as, "[JavaScript Application]. It then cites my correct Yahoo username and is followed by this text; "(my username)- Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username".
Note: Entering my email address as a username did not help either. The username cited in the error
message is the correct username as well.
The second pop up window says,
"We noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click OK to reload your page".
Note: Clicking the "OK" button does not re-sign in the page. What does happen is that it reloads the generic MY Yahoo home page and then I have to manually sign in to get my personally customized My Yahoo home page.
I have since upgraded to the most current Firefox browser version, but the problem remains the same.
If anyone has any idea on how to remedy this sign-in issue I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thank youIf you had Firefox save your Yahoo password, first try deleting that here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Security > "Saved Passwords"
The "signed out" message seems to be related to how Yahoo authenticates you. Some users have reported that disabling automatic proxy detection solves the problem, and it also resolves an issue of getting logged out every few minutes, if you have ever experienced that.
To make the change:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "Network" mini-tab, click the "Settings" button, then choose "No Proxy" and OK your way back out.
If your work connection requires you to use a proxy server, try the "Use system settings" option instead.
Does that help? -
I recently upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1 and I’m operating a Mac Powerbook Pro with OS of 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Now I’m having intermittent problems with sending emails where Firefox freezes up. There is often a yellow warning above suggesting 32-bit mode, sometimes I can click to shift it that way, sometimes not.
Anyone having these problems?

Firefox 5 - odd bookmarks toolbar intermittent problem
Since upgrading to Firefox 5, I've run into an intermittent problem with the bookmarks toolbar. I have a fairly wide/deep bookmarks structure. Intermittently, when I click on an item in the toolbar, nothing happens. No dropdown list of sub-bookmarks occurs. Sometimes, if I move the cursor back & forth along the toolbar, then go back to the item I want, it will work.
Usually, when this happens, none of the entries on the toolbar will "work" but sometimes, the only one that won't work is the >> for the bookmarks that can't fit on the toolbar.
Eventually, all the items on the toolbar become active again - either because I've repeatedly moved the cursor along the toolbar or have opened a new firefox window or some other random event happens.
I can't test this in safe mode because it is an intermittent problem - happens at least once a day but depends on how many hours I'm online - and when I'm on the web, I'm working - so I need all the addons I have installed. In other words, I can't do my job if I use safemode w/ just the bookmarks toolbar & no addons.
Nor can I enable/disable addons to see if one of them is responsible because the problem doesn't occur on any schedule & I only have addons that I use daily.
I'm posting this question primarily to alert others in the event that somebody else has noticed the same problem. It is an extremely irritating but not fatal problem.*Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/multirow-bookmarks-toolbarplus/

Curious problem of the letter 'p' has returned months later
confident that a headache from five months ago was long resolved, my macbook pro has suddenly come back to haunt me in the past 24 hours.
the identical symptoms have curiously reappeared, in the following chronological order of discovery:
1. i am unable type the letter 'p" in any application, from an online google search to an MS word doc.
2. i put the laptop on sleep mode, only to have the screen return seconds later.
3. upon restart, my login window is mysteriously populated before my very eyes -- as if someone were remotely typing in my password.
the original thread is linked below. in short, the original problem stemmed from the installation of avast! anti-virus software. once it was uninstalled, the symptoms described above went away, and all was well in my world.
MacBook Pro has been hacked. What next?
since then, i have not downloaded any new third-party software applications. the only thing i can think of is my recent difficulties in downloading the most recent version of firefox 32.0.3. the hardware problems reappeared shortly thereafter. if firefox might be the culprit, i'm happy to elaborate on the issues i was having.
thanks in advance for any and all help.
system specs:
MacBookPro9,2
Intel Core i7
2.9 GHz
8 GB memoryplease disregard my last post; i've resolved the issue.
erase and install has been completed. i have also updated the mavericks software and restarted. all symptoms described in my initial post remain.
i presume this means an appointment at the genius bar. if so, however, one question remains with me: if it is indeed a hardware issue, why did these symptoms go away for 5 months upon the removal of avast! last may?
in other words, is it not logical to think that if it were a hardware issue, the symptoms would be ever-present and unaffected by the removal of an application? -
FIrefox Browser problem- S... when I press 9 FIrefox zooms out? when I press 0 Firefox zooms in?
FIrefox Browser problem- Suddenly now when I press the 9 number key (or 6) FIrefox zooms out and when I press a 0 number key Firefox zooms in. This just started happening 2 days ago.
I am using a Mac and I have the latest Firefox . No updates of any kind have occurred in the past 4-5 days, so I must have inadvertedly activated this.
How can I deactivate this?Hi lachem, I guess our comments in your earlier thread didn't solve the problem, but to avoid duplicate threads, let's continue there: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1050032 The Firefox "search for text when I start typing feature" has just stopped working correctly].

My Apple Wireless Keyboard keeps typing the letter x.
The wireless keyboard keeps on typing the letter x, so I tried to switch keyboards, which fixed it. The wireless keyboard has no exterior damage, but pressing the x key does absolutely nothing. I'm wondering how I can fix this problem.
presssing the x key one and off may fix it but at the end of the day the keyboard'x swich may just be broken and may never come around

whenever i type in the google box to search every letter i type firefox asks what would i like to use to open this file this is so annoying how do i get it to stop doing this?

That's not a good subject description but I have been experiencing a situation in which the keyboard stops entering characters. The cursor keys function but no characters are displayed on the screen even though they are entered on the keyboard. It is an intermittent problem and seems to happen more with Excel and Word. I have tried plugging the keyboard into different USB ports but that doesn't seem to help. This is on a new Mac Mini with OS 10.5.8 and the keyboard is the new Apple aluminum one.
BTW, The Mac mini has 5 USB ports but when I use the System Profiler, it only shows 4 USB ports; 2 USB Bus ports and two USB High-Speed Bus ports. Does it matter which port the keyboard uses? I would think it best to save the High-Speed ports for a printer, etc. and plug the keyboard into one of the other. Could this be a clue to the problem?I have been living with this intermittent keyboard problem since last fall but recently I have experienced a worse problem where Excel just quits and the Mac does a fast restart (ie, the screen goes blue, then returns to the normal screen with no applications loaded). The spreadsheet I was in comes back as "Recovered". This occurs with the same spreadsheet so perhaps it was corrupted somehow.
What I have done is de-install MS Office 2004 and re-install from the original CDs then do all the updates up to 11.5.5. So far this "crashing" problem has not re-occurred even with the problem spreadsheet.
However, I have still experienced the intermittent typing issue so I'm becoming convinced it it an Apple problem perhaps with Rosetta. Other posts on other Forums (eg., this MS one: www.officeformac.com/ms/ProductForums/Excel/2772/0 ) seem to support that.
SO, I APPEAL TO APPLE AND MICROSOFT TO GET TOGETHER AND SOLVE THIS ISSUE. COOPERATE AND MAKE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS HAPPY. -
How to change BI Content InfoObject (move Lowercase letter mark) and transp
Hello,
1. Do you know how to change the business content infoObject by moving the mark "lowercase letter" for the characteristic (no master data) so that i can transport it in PROD.
When i tried to change it, the message i recieve is, that i have to delete the SID table. And when i want to delete the SID table, i reciéve the message that, the table content data, and that the data in the table have first to be deleted. And also, i cannot delete data in the SID table.
Actually, and by trying to resolve the problem, i see that the infoObject is NOW on "REVISED",....
2. Normally, i have to change the infoObject by removing the "lowercase letter Mark", so that by the activation, it can be transferred to a transport order i created in Solution manager PROD. But the infopackage and transformation and datasource i created before did not, give a posssibility to save this in the transport order.
3. How can i change the activated Business Content infoObject (now on REVISED) and transfer it to the transport order i created in Solution manager Prod. For example, i created a logical system in SPRO and could transfer it to the transport order, but in RSA1, by creating the objects, no dialog to transfer the Z-Bi created objects in transport ORDER is displayed.
My most important problem here is the change for the INFOOBJECT, save the change in transport order, and transport it in productiv.
4. One more question, is to know what happen with old request data in PROD infocube, after i transport the change infoObject in PROD?
Do you know how to resolve the problem?
Kind regards and many thank for helping
ArnaudHi,
Did you try Delete Master Data on the right click of your Infoobject? Since your infoobject is already loaded with data, it does not allow you to change the definition. You need to delete data completely from the infoobject and change the lower case letter.
You can only transport the Active version but not revised version.
Try deleting tables in SE14 t-code.

W701 Lenovo SSD won't start, intermittent problem
specs:
I think of W701 as the model number, but Lenovo considers it to be 4323CTO
It used to have a Lenovo 128 GB SSD as the C drive, with a 360 GB HD for the secondary drive. Now I've replaced the original SSD with a Samsung 512 GB SSD.
Running Windows 8 now, but it was doing the same on 7. It does seem to be a hardware problem.
This is an unusual problem. I posted here a couple of months ago. I have made a bit of progress since then, mostly in finding out what doesn't work.
It used to be an intermittent problem, but now it's frequent. It's happened since the computer was still on warranty, but it was so infrequent then that it wasn't likely to happen while tech was looking at the computer. It seemed pointless to complain or try to get it fixed. Lately it has been getting worse and worse.
It is 3 and a half years old and this has been the only serious problem, so I'm hoping for a way around it. When I press the power button to start it, it takes 2 or 3 seconds for the first visual to come on. It has the Thinkpad, Lenovo and Intel logos on it, and says: 'To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button.'
That's as far as it gets. After that nothing happens, no drive activity at all and nothing I can do but shut it off. There is no response to the mouse or to pressing any key. Pressing the Thinkvantage button also does nothing. It would sometimes do this at least 50 times in a row.
What would get it going in those cases was:
1. leaving it for a few days or a week without touching it or
2. removing the SSD, replacing it with the HD (which would attempt to start but had no OS installed) and then switching back.
On one of these forums, someone described a problem that had some things in common with mine. It turned out his SSD was dying and when he replaced it, everything worked. I thought that might be it and replaced the drive. It worked for awhile but now it started with the same problem. (sigh)
I suppose it might be an intermittent connection between the SSD and the rest of the computer. Replacing that wiring harness would be my next guess but there might be other possibilities. I suppose any small electronic part involved in the start up process could be at fault.
Except for this problem it has mostly been a decent machine. It has a 17 inch, 16:10 screen which might not even be available now and I appreciate that size. I would like to get this restored.
tiaThank you practical, that struck me as a great idea.
The little problem with it is getting an OS on the drive. I do have an image restore for Win 7, and after that it would take installing 8.1 again, so just a bit of work. But it seems clear to me now that the SSDs were not the problem. I basically agree with your comment:
"It sounds to me more likely, especially given the intermittent difficulties you have had in the past, that there might be an issue with the SATA electronics on the main board -- a tiny crack in a wiring trace, cable not fully seated in a socket (or perhaps contacts a little corroded) a flakey chip somewhere, etc."
I think the most likely possible solution now is to replace the motherboard. I saw someone else with a problem that had something in common with mine; he mentioned that he solved it by doing that. That would fit in with one of your comments. " there might be an issue with the SATA electronics on the main board."
So I started checking around at Lenovo.com and got the part number. I was able to talk to sales twice to confirm that it is the correct part number, and they transferred me to parts to find out about price and availability. Both times the parts person could not hear me, after having a normal conversation with sales. It seems like their phone system has some kind of problem with transfers. I called back 2 more times to let sales know about the problem, and got busy signals.
I had phone problems that I posted about in my T530i laptop problems topic. I had at least 3 calls that could not be completed by their system, and I'm starting to wonder about them getting anything fixed if they can't take care of that.
So I checked out the motherboard at http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/IBM-Lenovo,Thinkpad,W701,4323000,Laptop,System-Boards.aspx They didn't have one in stock, and all the guy could tell me is that it would be more than $600 if they did get one in. I did appreciate even that much info. It was more than I had been able to get from the other supplier. I did see one on another site while searching that was over $1000 so I expect the $600 is low.
But this is getting seriously discouraging. This might change, but right now I feel like getting a Toshiba or something and just giving up on Lenovo. The prices of new laptops aren't that much now.
But thanks again for your comment. It jolted a bit of thinking, and most of the research I've mentioned in this post. -

WRT54G/EZXS16W Intermittent Problem w/1 Computer Connecting to Internet
Here is my setup:
1 Desktop (problem child) running Windows 7 Pro 64bit
1 Desktop running XP (Dell with basic 100Mb onboard NIC)
1 Laptop running Windows 7 Home
EZXS16W 16 port 10/100 Switch
WRT54G v6 Router (latest firmware)
All connections use static IP
Problem has been occurring for about 2 years with "problem child" desktop. All other machines work fine with no intermittent problems.
Problem is that while browsing, every 30-40 minutes or so, the desktop will stop being able to reach internet websites. Internal networking (file share to other machines, etc, still works).
Resolution, if I wait 10-15 minutes it will start working again on its own. Or if I unplug the router and plug it back in, that works too.
Things that don't work:
1) Clearing internet cache
2) Disabling/Re-enabling NIC
Troubleshooting tried:
1) Upgraded router to latest firmware
2) Upgraded problem child desktop from XP Pro 32bit to Windows 7 Pro 64bit
3) Disabled on-board NIC (Marvell) and installed Intel Pro GT 1000 PCI-E card
4) Swapped ethernet cable with known good cable (from other desktop not exhibiting issues)
5) Took switch out of the equation running all wired connections direct through router
NOTE ** Ancillary problem is that 99% of the time, I cannot get to the admin interface of the router. I try using all 3 machines (wired/wireless) and via IE and Firefox. I enter the correct username/password and I get a blank screen and the browser indicates the page loading is Done. On the rare occasions I am able to get into the admin page, there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why.Give the static ip address (in the range of the router) and the static DNS to the computer.
Click on the Start button > Settings > Control Panel >Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1- Preferred DNS 192.168.1.1, Alternate DNS - 4.2.2.2 >Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window. Now check the connection.
