Bookmark & Share pops up on some web pages (undesired)

Bookmark & Share pops up on certain web pages, even though I have the Block pop-up windows box checked under tools/options/content. Firefox is probably designed to work this way, but it is extremely annoying. If want to bookmark or share something, I will do it myself!! I do not need a pop-up trying to help me. Some pop-ups are necessary, but not this one.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I bring the mouse too close to some areas on some web pages.

Step-by-step for those who might not understand the solution above:
In Adblock:
1. Go to Preferences
2. Click Add Filter button
3. Add "s7.addthis.com" (without quotes) in the new filter window that appears
4. Press OK, then OK again to get out of Adblock screen
Go out of the webpage, then come back in, and you will see that the button for Bookmark and Share is gone for good.
Thanks for the question and solution, Anon -

  • I have bookmarks displayed, but when visit some web pages, they disappear and are replaced by horizontal lines, and sometimes lines that look like barcodes appear around the edges of Firefox 4. Any suggestions how to remove them?

    This happens when I have the Menu Bar hidden. It happened with the betas and now with the RC

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When trying to cler all browsing history at the location bar, although I follow the instructions to 'ctrl, shift, delete, some web pages remain stuck. Even if I highlight them one at a time and hit delete, they remain. What can I do to eliminate them?

    When trying to delete web pages from my history at the location bar drop-down area, I do as Firefox instructs by hitting the 'ctrl, shift, delete' keys but some web pages remain. Even if I highlight each page and hit delete, they remain. How can I eliminate these web pages?

    If you visit a bookmarked site then that site will become a history item and shows as such in the location bar drop down list.

  • In some web pages, pdf files are downloaded in very small kb and not opening despite I have Adobe reader, Pro and plug in

    I have Firefox 3.6.6, downgraded from higher versions since I have this problem below.
    At some web pages (mostly professional academic sites like Oxford Journals), when I am clicking to get pdf of an article, Firefox start downloading ridiculously small size and cannot open it as it gives the message "Acrobat could not open 'filename.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged ..."
    I know the file is not damaged, because I can open them in explorer. And some websites are also working properly in Firefox. I do not care if it opens in firefox or pops up separately.
    I have reloaded Acrobat and Firefox but problem continues.

    hello vijayabhaskarv, that sounds as if you're using the pdf viewer built into firefox per default, which might not work in all situations. please see the following article in order to select a different plugin to render pdf files: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]

  • Can't open some web pages... DOES ANYONE HAVE A FIX THAT WORKS?

    I'm unable to open certain web pages. The pages will start to open and than the application will just stall. This seems to have coincided with downloading a security update a while back. I've tried downloading firefox and it too will not open these specific pages. I've searched the forum and as of now I can't find a solution. From what I've hear, Apple isn't even acknowledging that there is an issue. I've repaired permissions, deleted Safari plist files, all with no improvement. I know for a fact that it is not my internet connection, as my powerbook can navigate to these sites without any issues, however my powermac seems to have "forgotten" how to open some web pages.
    Any fixes would be enourmously appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I don't think that reporting the pages to apple would do much good as it's not the pages themselves that are the issue, it's something on my system that prevents them from opening up properly. My laptop will open the pages without any issue, however my desktop isn't able to for god knows what reason. I know others on this board have had similar problems.

  • Safari will not finish loading some web pages

    I just bought a new macbook pro. As soon as I got it I started installing programs I use (photoshop, lightroom, Chrome, Firefox, etc).  It seemed that from the beginning Safari didn't work properly, but in reading more about my problem maybe it's because I have downloaded programs that changed Safari.
    Some web pages work fine, but some don't.  For instance, even the Apple.com site won't load all the way in Safari.  Links or images will be missing.  I tried to fill out a form and when I got to the bottom of the page the "submit" button was missing and I couldn't submit the form.  I try the same page in Chrome and it works just fine.  Firefox is even worse at loading the website though.
    I've been trying to read other people's questions to figure it out but no one seems to have the exact same problem.  I tried changing the DNS and reinstalling Safari and it made no difference.  Then I read some advice from Linc Davis to create a guest user.  I tried loading Apple.com in Safari under the guest user and it worked perfect.  Then I tried booting in safe mode as Linc Davis suggested others do and I still had the same problem with Safari, no improvement.  At least I think I was in safe mode.  I turned off my computer and when I turned it back on and heard the chime I held down the shift key.  The grey apple screen came up with the gear turning, but when it came to the log in screen it didn't say "safe mode."  Is there any indication to tell you you are indeed in safe mode?
    Any way I restarted normally and can't figure out how to fix Safari.  Any suggestions? Linc Davis?

    To anyone who has this same question, I had to find the answer on my own and thought I would post it for you.  I was kind of annoyed that Apple wouldn't even try to help me.  After searching forever on Apple's support pages I finally did a google search and went to some outside sources to find the answer.  I narrowed down that the problem Safari was having was not being able to load images on any website.
    Here was the solution:
    I opened Finder
    Opened the Go menu and held down the option key to open the hidden Library folder
    Opened Preferences
    Then I deleted all the com.apple.Safari files (there were 4)
    Ta Dah! Safari instantly works again.  Hope this can help someone else out in my predicament.

  • Magic Mouse - scrolling doesn't work on some web pages

    The scroll function on my Magic Mouse isn't working on some web pages. The main ones it struggles with are news sites (e.g. The Telegraph), or things that regularly update (e.g. BBC Sport live commentaries). When this is a problem the page won't scroll at all, even if you enable the scroll bars at the side of the page and try to drag manually. The majority of web pages do work however. Thoughts?

    Hello Halifax:
    Are you really running OS X 10.3?
    These are the requirements for a magic mouse:
    Minimum Requirements
    A Bluetooth-enabled Macintosh computer
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0* or Mac OS X v10.6.1 or later >with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0

  • Some web pages take long to load

    I just recently got my mac and i like it better than my PC. There is only one problem I run into. I have noticed that some web pages take long to load and once they are loaded i try scrolling down or up and the web page lags big time. Also the grapics are not all that great. My PC runs the pages just fine. This is not a problem for all web pages but only a few. Mainly I see the problem on some myspace profiles. I was just wanted to see if anyone knows why I am having this problem.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    It is slower in a measureable sense, or just a "seat of the pants" feeling?
    Go to PC Pitstop and run their test. If you are getting the bandwidth that you are paying for, then it is an issue with your broswer.
    I do not like Safari. It is slower than Camino, especially in conjunction with CamiTools. Safari is a memory hog and grabs CPU cycles like nobody's business. I have never had any issues with either Camino or Firefox. Either are much better than Safari, IMO.
    If you miss the look of Safari, there are skins and even a great RSS reader that can be added to Firefox called Sage. It offers better RSS integration than Safari IMO.
    In my experience, Macs just render pages slower than PCs due to poor coding or IE specific coding that lazy web authors. Safari is one of the most standards compliant browsers out there, but if the pages are coded poorly or browser specific, then there is nothing that Safari can do about it.
    You can take a look at some settings, but let us know what speeds you are paying for from your ISP and compare those to the actual speeds. Then we can talk about possible solutions.
