After updating to Firefox 7, i've lost scrolling feature on my laptop touch pad

After I updated to Firefox 7, the scrolling feature on the laptop touch pad would not work. My OS is Windows 7. I also updated my other laptop and the same thing happened. That one has Windows Vista as it's OS

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*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 via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

  • After updating to Firefox 9 I have lost all my Bookmarks and Add ons

    Firefox updated it's self to version 9.0.1. When I opened Firefox all my bookmarks and add ons where gone.
    I have searched the help section with no help.

    cor-el,
    This turned out to be the root cause for my problem. Simply renamed the
    places.sqlite.corrupt file to places.sqlite and my profile (including bookmarks) worked again. Thanks!
    By the way, I first noticed that something was wrong with my _profile_ when, in addition to lost bookmarks, I noticed that I couldn't create _new_ bookmarks. Also was not able to restore bookmarks from a backup .json file. So I created a new profile, and was able to restore the bookmarks from the original profile's backup. That led me to exploring your suggestion. Thanks again!

  • After downloading the updates to Firefox (per alert) I lost 50% cpu

    HELP!! I received an alert that I needed to update Firefox on my 8.1 Windows desktop.
    Before this happened my NEW HP computer was running great and Firefox was running great.
    After downloading Firefox ...everything takes 1-3 minutes to accomplish. To open my mail, to google search... anything that uses a browser is like molasses.
    Each time I tell someone this happened their answer is.... "don't use Firefox". That should NOT be the answer.
    Please help. All was OK before the Firefox download.
    Thank you (Here is the error information...not sure if it helps)

    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.

  • After updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google,yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. How can solve this problem?

    after updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google(web ,image,video,map etc),yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. even I cant log out from different sites cz the log out bar is completely disabled. I tried with Firefox 4;5 and 6, same problem exist . I tried by active all add ons for facebook, same problem exist. If I use internet explorer , I don't find such problem with it.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • After updating to Firefox 5 my Realplayer Recorder is not working due to that add on not being compatible. How do I get this to work again?

    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.
    Cheers

    I got that message with all of my libraries. Do see if the galleries are still on your iDisk mount your iDisk and go to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and look for a folder titled "_gallery".

    Thanks. "_gallery" is empty
    Have you tried re-syncing as Larry suggested?
    I'm sure it will work, but I'm perplexed as to how this could happen.
    Do you find that iPhoto now launches faster? Perhaps it's because my web galleries are gone?

  • How do I remove the bookmark toolbar icons for websites? After updating to Firefox 22, add-ons don't help.

    In the Bookmark Toolbar, the icons for websites take up too much space and are distracting. I used to use the Bookmarks - Deiconizer add-on but after updating to Firefox 22 it doesn't work anymore.
    I tried adjusting the userChrome.css as in other posts but that does not work.
    Please help!

    Hi haweyext,
    Did you see this thread from yesterday:
    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/964732 How do I keep the icons out of my Bookmarks Toolbar (tried Bookmarks Deiconizer) even after downloading files?]
    If userChrome.css isn't working (note: you need to exit and restart Firefox before it takes effect), you can apply that rule to Firefox using the Stylish extension instead.
    Does any of that help?

  • After update to Firefox 15 it crashes after javascript call window.close();opener.alert('test');. Is this working as intended or is it a bug?

    After update to Firefox 15 it crashes after javascript call from a popup window.close();opener.alert('test');. Is this working as intended or is it a bug?

    According to the pages linked to the crash ID, there is a bug report on this.
    Does the crash occur as soon as you run those two lines of code, or after dismissing the alert()?
    If this is your application, why are you running script commands after calling window.close()? Could you avoid the problem by using an approach like this:
    <br>window.setTimeout(function(){opener.alert('test'},250);
    window.close();

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all 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")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

    I am not able to install any addons after updating to firefox 7.0.1. Addons are still working. Addons will start to download but will get stuck at 100% download progress.

  • Old passwords appeared after update to firefox 32

    After updating to firefox 32 all passwords added or changed in august disappeared or returned to their previous states. But if I downgrade to previous version all passwords are on the right place. How to fix this? Thanks.

    hello, have you switched between firefox 31 and a higher version in august once - there has been a change in the database that holds your passwords and the migration will only take place once - the first time you update from firefox 31 to a higher version. if you switch back to 31 again afterwards (downgrading isn't a path that is commonly supported) your pw changes won't be reflected...

  • Can't pause flash with right mouse click on mac osx 10.6 after update from firefox 3 to 6

    After updating my firefox 3... to firefox 6 I can no longer right click in a flash video and pause it

    My camera is a 1Ds mk II..
    and for that one it says
    All versions tested. All versions tested. Supported only through Lightroom 4.1.
    however, it also says
    Windows XP, Vista, 7; Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6
    which is plain wrong, because Canon never supported any drivers for Windows Vista or Win 7, not to speak of XP 64bit. (You cannot connect the camera via firewire, without the device drivers!)

  • After updating to Firefox 8 Beta for Mac, no window opens on startup.

    After updating to Firefox 8 beta on Mac, I tried to open a new session. Upon starting, a pop-up appeared in the upper left corner of the screen. ([[As seen here.|http://i51.tinypic.com/2z9i99s.png]])
    I tried to close it by clicking Cancel or OK, neither of which was successful. Is there any way to fix this problem?

    Firefox 16 versions still work with your OS X 10.5 operating system, but that is the last version that will work.<br />
    Firefox 17 will require OS X 10.6 and later.
