Will not respond when clicking on a hyper link

when i click on a button, or text link, or similar - often nothing happens. When logging in to certain sites (but not all), it will not respond to user name and password entry.
Some times Firefox takes ages to respond- others it's as quick as a flash.
If i didn't know better, i would think it had suffered the effects of a trojan - but i have deleted Firefox twice now, and all associated files. I have rebuilt my iMac from scratch with a freshly partitioned hard drive and performed a fresh installation. Also, my iMac is running the latest version of Kaspersky - as it has done since bought in 2009.
At this moment in time, it has been uninstalled until i get some idea what to try. It had 2 plug ins installed 3 weeks ago - Colorzilla and Firebug3 - but as i understand it, these are 'certified' add ons for firefox.
Any help would be appreciated, because i depend on firefox for developing Wordpress based web sites.

Hi homeworkers,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps!

  • I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

    I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly.  Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • The drop drop down box from Yahoo that says "Do you use the Yahoo! Toolbar on multiple computers? will not respond to clicking on it. It Stays in the drop down position covering other tabs and makes them unuseable.

    this box with three options: learn more, save to my Yahooa1 ID, No thanks, just save to this computer, will not respond when any option is selected. It will not go away. It covers other tabs making them useless.

    Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

  • My edited photos will not display when clicked on, a large triangle with exclmation comes up

    my edited photos will not display when clicked on, instead a large grey area comes up wiht a triangle /exclamation sign. 

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

    I have a similar problem. I updated Firefox to 3.6.4 a few days ago. Then I tried to load Microsoft update KB982524. KB982524 would not load correctly. After that Internet Explorer will not start. I get a very brief flash of Internet Explorer running, then the window closes. So now I cant run Microsoft Update.

    the problem started when my computer screen broke from something falling on it, the screen was replaced but the people that fixed it for me told me there may be some hard disk issues when a problem like this happens, they ran their own checks and found nothing and i was given my laptop back, then when i tried to use it, i found this problem. everything else works fine.
    i have shutdown and re-started my computer multiple times and i have also re-started finder multiple times, both having no effect
    i have also done a few other things to find that my apple.com.finder.plist and apple.com.sidebar.plist are both missing, and are not re-creating themselves, i have found no way to bring them back either.
    any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

  • I use an app that has tabs. (I do not mean tabbed browsing) Yesterday FF worked fine, today, it will not respond when I click the app tabs. IE still works fine on the tabs in the app.

    FF does not respond to the click when I click certain areas in an app that I use such as a tab, or OK button, but will work on other buttons that I click.

    Hi,
    2 things:
    1. Assuming your script is original - it is not asking for a TXT file till it is found in expected location. You can choose between 2 solutions:
         to remove FindChangeList.txt from FindChangeSupport folder ==> script will ask for another file
         to override this file by your query ==> script will not ask but execute your query
    2. You can see greyed TXT files in Script Panel since this panel shows executable files (script's formats)

  • Palm Desktop software not responding when clicking on "Media"

    I have a Palm Centro (Sprint) and am trying to get a photo that I took on my phone transferred to my computer.  I recently updated my software to Palm Desktop by Access v6.2.2.  When I try to get into the "Media" section, the software locks up and I get a "not responding" message.  Everything else (contacts and calendar, which is all I care about) seems to be working fine. 
    How can I get my photos off my phone?  Thanks for any help.
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Hello khodes and welcome to the Palm forum.
     I don't have a Centro so I can't test whether or not Palm Desktop will hang when I click the Media icon in Palm Desktop. It seems to be working here, but I'm using Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on Windows Vista with a Treo 755p.
     One work around is to use a card reader/writer to copy the data from your card to your computer.  Do you know if you are saving the photos you are taking with your Centro to a microSD card?  If so, all the photos should be in a folder called DCIM on your card.

  • Firefox will not respond when trying to delete history.

    When I go to "clear recent history" and click on "clear now" it immediately states that the program is not responding. Does the same after reboot. It's not letting me clear my history, and I've tried 6 times, all with the same results... I have to close the program from the task manager. Is there a fix?

    How much history do you have?
    You can type a common character like a colon (:) in the search bar in the History Manager (Library).
    You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Programs go not responding when clicking File - Print

    When clicking File -> Print on Word, Adobe PDF reader and Internet Explorer (but works fine in Excel) the program goes not responding, eventually the print window loads, but goes very very slow from there on, regularly hanging. On Word and IE specifically,
    a small box flashes up with a message and goes before I get a chance to read it.
    I have tried repairing Office, virus scans, CCleaner, driver updates and reinstalls for printers, disabled no windows services. Nearly everything short of reinstalling windows.
    Anyone got any ideas. This user has had a large number of problems in the past with Office.

    I sorted the issue, really strange, but all i needed to do was select a default printer from the list of network printers as one wasnt selected already. Very very strange

  • HT1338 server will not respond when trying to update

I am using Mac OS X 10.6.7 i am running fine on internet and am connected with good broadband speed.
    Thanks in advance

    You're saying that there is an issue when trying to use Software Update to get to 10.6.8, correct? An alternate way to apply that update is to download the 10.6.8 update from the Apple download site.
    Before running it, bring up Disk Utility, repair permissions, apply the update, and repair permissions again when done. With that, you can now install iTunes 7.
