How to stop firefox from going to a URL your most is hovering over when you type in a URL and press enter.

When you open a new tab and begin to type a url to visit, if your mouse is hovering over any of the suggested results when you press enter, instead of firefox going to the url you have typed, it goes to the url that the mouse was hovering over.
Is there a way to disable this functionality as it is annoying when you are say, trying to access youtube or google, but then you goto a completely different page from your history because your mouse was hovering over a suggested result.

@philipp:
I restarted in safe mode with all add-ons disabled and the problem still persists. Apparently a friend also seems to have this problem.
How to reproduce (to the best of my knowledge)
1) click on url bar
2) start typing part of a url which generates many results from history
3) mouse over one of the results (usually the first as thats where the mouse is after clicking on the url bar)
4) press enter with autofilled url in url bar
What happens is say that i start typing "goo" for google.com, firefox will auto complete with http://google.com, but since my mouse is hovering over a historic google search result it opens what ever my mouse is hovering over even though the url bar says "http://google.com"

Where is the "search discussions box"?

I would like to search the discussions base before posting a new inquiry. I remember a search box that was in the upper right of the area but I don't seem to be able to find it now?
NEPA

You currently can't from within the Discussions. Until that feature is restored, go to Google and perform an advanced search with discussions.apple.com as the site.

Where is the "search" field box?

I want to search various discussion forums, but the "search" box is gone. Is this a temporary glitch? Discussion forums are fairly useless if one cannot search them.

Compressor leaving black frames in mpeg 2

Hi, when I render out an HDV Quicktime down to SD (PAL 625 50i) mpeg2 for DVD using Quick Cluster in Qmaster, I'm getting a faster render ok but the final mv2 file has a black frame at every point where the Compressor segmented the original file to spread it across the clusters. eg. if the original HDV movie is say, 2 minutes long and Compressor/Qmaster processes it in 4 segments, then there will be a black frame every 30 secs. Any ideas???

Various software updates have fixed this problem

Exporting movie I get a smaller video enclosed into a black frame

I don't understand why, when I make "export movie" for a clip in motion, I get always a smaller video enclosed into a black frame...
What I miss??

I know you're talking about Motion 5 - I'm trying to find out if you still have Motion 4 (or earlier) installed?
Ok - those look like export settings, and I don't have any of the ones you list after Uncompressed — interesting. What I'm talking about are the Project Presets (Motion > Preferences > Presets pane)
All the presets with the lock icons are the defaults and that last one is a custom preset I made for 30fps.
Anyway - I had that same problem of the black border around exported video in Motion 4 and I believe Motion 5 will share the presets from Motion 4 if you had it installed at some point. The black border, from what I understand, was supposed to be a region of "overscan" that is typically used in television broadcast and would not have been seen over broadcast. Motion 5 doesn't seem to add the overscan which is what is leading me to suspect that Motion 4 is involved still. So, if you did have Motion 4, try going to:
~user/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Presets/
and zip the Project folder to back it up, and toss the Project folder in the trash. Restart Motion 5. You will lose your custom presets in Motion 4, but for some reason, trashing the old presets folder fixed other issues with Motion 5. If that doesn't work, you can restore the old presets.
I just ran a test out of motion 4 with Broadcast HD 1080/60i preset and the Info I get back in quicktime is:
You can see where the format is 1920x1080 (1888x1062) actual size in parentheses. I did the same test in M5 with the broadcast HD 1080 preset and it came back 1920x1080 actual... I guess you can draw your own conclusions. And, I may not know what the **** I'm talking about!! Since Apple Pro video apps use Core Video, it might just be an OS thing, so maybe you should consider which OS you're running as well. It's been at least a couple of years since I had to deal with the problem. My workaround in Motion 4 was to create Custom presets that duplicated the features of the standard presets for 1920 x 1080 square pixels and an aspect ratio of 1.00.

Spaces Keyboard viewer in every space

I use the keyboard viewer frequently to enter short text strings (I have a disability that makes using the keyboard uncomfortable) and I use Spaces. Previously I could add Keyboardviewer to "every space" in 10.6 I can not find out how to do that. I know where the app is /System/Library/Input Methods/Keyboardviewer . When I navigate there to add it nothing shows. How can I configure Spaces so Keyboardviewer is displayed in every space?

Michael, I think I know what you did wrong. I added keyboard viewer to every space and then went back to write up step by step instructions and it was suddenly gone!! I had not followed the exact path. Input methods exist in several places but they are empty except in the exact path you specified.
Macintosh HD/System/Library/Input Methods/Keyboardviewer
Anyway the step by step is below, which you probably already know but here it is:
You can navigate there from System Preferences - Expose & Spaces - Spaces Tab. Now hit the "+" sign below Application Assignments. In the drop down box select "other".
Make sure to start at the Mac HD level as you click through /system/library/input etc.
Select the Keyboard viewer and then "every space".

Weird BLACK FRAMES ...

Folks, I'm suddenly getting these weird black frames around every selected item or window. It first emerged when I was working in Photoshop, and suddenly a large black frame covered part of the monitor (emerging off the screen). This black frame would disappear & reappear when I would click out of the image area (clicking inside a palette, or other item)... as soon as I would begin rendering again, boom, the black frame reappeared. Sometimes it would partially conform to the boundaries of my image, sometimes off to the side and running off the screen as though it was indicating the boundary for some large phantom window.
When closing Photoshop, the weirdness continued, with black frames forming around ANY icon or entry window. ----- I tried restarting my Mac, even shutting the machine off for awhile and rebooting. The frames came back.
Also... in the Apple pull down menu along the top, there are now 2 Restart lisings, 2 shutdown listings, and 2 Logout listings (I don't recall ever seeing TWO of each of these).
Is my OS corrupted somehow? (as it is NOT isolated to Photoshop, but appears constantly.)
Thanks for any tips or notions!

THANK you so much folks!! That was it.
What a weird little anomoly. What is that "Voice over" function intended for anyway???

Annoying Black Frame Around everything...

A friend has been using my mac this afternoon and now every selected window has a thick black frame surrounding every active window or button!
How do I get rid of this??
It's very annoying.
Thanks!

Thanks so much Niel! A little thing like that had the potential to ruin my day...

Black frame around slides

I like the slideshow option in iDVD, but I would like to stretch the pictures all over my TV screen. Now, there is a large black frame around every slide. Is this possible?

To solve this problem to "iDVD" in the menu and choose "Preferences".
Choose the third tab called "Slideshow", you will get a panel with three checkboxes, uncheck the second ("Adjust dia size to tv-area") to fix the issue.
(The option names and descriptions might be incorrect since we use a Dutch MacOSX version.)

Where's the search keyboard?

When I tap the icon, there is no search keyboard. Just top sites, history, etc.

Hi Felimidmacfal,
I am not sure I understand your question, but I am assuming you are talking about the address bar - on top of the Firefox browser, in your Firefox OS mobile device, is that correct?
If so, you are able to search by just tapping on the address bar, and then typing your search term. As you type, a list of previously visited sites with that search term, as well as a "Google Search link" are displayed. Simply tap on the Google button to perform a search with the words you just typed.
If this is not what you are looking to do, please let us know the exact steps of what you are doing, and what you are hoping to do.
Thanks!!

More Apple Gobbledegook.
Cannot update my phone as message comes through "updating to iOS 7.0.4 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available"
What media sync options? Where are they ? How do I change them?

Afraid, this doesnt help. I've already unselected about 100 iTunes, resynced, and I still get the same message about 610 MB needing to be deleted.
What is so magic about 610 MB as a number?
Is this anything to do with iCloud? I was on the free 20 MB offeruntil last month and then got downgraded to 5 because I could n't see the need for paying for extra Cloud space. Is this the reason why?

I get a black frame at the head using image sequence every time

I am using tif frames number 1-xxxxxxxx and each conversion adds black frames to the Qtime movies when there are none in any of my sequences.

Hi guys. So we did some testing. Using the original presets, it works. However, if I change the quality settings in any configuration, it will always output the black frames at the head. It can be any combination or just one setting adjustment and it will add the black frames.
However, we found that if the sequence is renumbered to start from frame '0' ( this was discovered by accident ), then it will work, regardless of the quality adjustments.
The quality settings I am referring to are 'Resize Filter', 'Retime Quality', 'Adaptive Detail' etc etc. If any one of these are changed from default settings, it will add the black frames.
We can only presume this to be a bug? The big issue though, is that we have hundreds of clips that start at frame 1. We can of course not change the default settings but that means we cannot make adjustments.
Cheers

Black frame around windows

Hi all,
recently upgraded to SL. And, from time to time, I have black frames around my windows where the shadow should be viewable.
Anyone else having this problem?

I was able to narrow down the issue, these weird black frames only appear when or after I have used an application that requires 3d graphics, such as Maya.
Sounds like your system can't keep up with the rendering required...try to run Maya alone, right after a reboot and be sure to have sufficient free space on the HD.

FCP7 export problems - black frames and text irregularities

I'm on FCP 7.0.3 and have recently started editing stuff from my new Panasonic HDC-HS900.
I started a small project just to get to grips with the new workflow and realised that I had made the mistake of trying to import .mts files. However, I found a plugin from Panasonic's website which allows this but editing with the imported files is a nightmare because FCP starts running so slowly that it is impossible to make any kind of precise edits - the scrubber bar jumps all over the place and moving it forward one frame with the arrow keys takes about three seconds.
So, I realised my mistake and having discovered that using ClipWrap circumvents all these problems, I devised a new workflow and resolved to stick to it.
The only problem is that I showed the test edit to my girlfriend and her parents and despite it being full of bad stuff (I mean very rough edits caused by the slowness and audio problems that I couldn't be bothered sorting out also because the process was so frustratingly slow), they all liked it. So, whilst I would like to consign this experimental disaster to the bin, I need to at least iron out some of the problems so that I can give my girlfriend a copy which does not look quite so awful.
So, after labouring through this excruciatingly slow process, I try to export the finished thing only to find that the opening ten seconds, where I have used a slow motion sequence (which, ironically, is not an .mts file - it's a 10s .mov file I exported from FCP in order to convert it from 50p to 25p slow motion without losing frames) and a bit of text which dissolves in and out, there are a few single black frames and the text disappears momentarily several times.
Everything else is fine (apart from the awful edits!).
Having now left FCP to render the whole sequence, I managed to inspect it frame by fram much quicker and on the timeline it looks exactly as it should - the edit itself couldn't be much simpler; two layers - one text, one .mov file. dissolve the text in for one second, two seconds later dissolve in the .mov then a virtual reverse process. What could possibly go wrong?
Anyway, I have deleted all the render files and I am currently waiting for the sequence to re-render - estimated time: two hours.
All I want to do is wrap this junk up so that I can start a proper project.

I'll have to respond in an unordered fashion, just to try to make sense in my reply.
I was using ProRes 422 HQ because I found three options in ClipWrap and had to make a quick decision based on two minutes research and having found by trying it that 422 HQ files were only about 25% bigger than 422 files, I figured I had nothing to lose - especially as the workflow I WILL BE employing does not require permanent storage of the files and I now have 1TB external space for media archive storage and over 600GB internal space for ongoing projects. I might as well use the highest quality.
The reason I suspected the rendering files is that they were being used by FCP in the export of the project - evident in the fact that it takes almost three hours to save an unrendered sequence vs about six minutes to export a rendered sequence. Therefore, being unaware of the inherant problem you mention, I think it was reasonable to guess that a forced re-rendering might have sorted it out.
Yes, with 20/20 hindsight, it might have been quicker but, again being unaware of the issue you mention - which I shall have to look into - it seemed like a small problem which ought to have a had a simple answer. But now I know better.
I have, incidentally, discovered that all the dissolves I inserted have very similar problems.
And, to answer your first point last, I have already gone down that path - I'm just waiting for the results.
Could you perhaps point me at some article where I can read about the inherant problems of H.264, please?
