Can Firefox be optimized for google docs

When I bring up a spreadsheet online in google docs Firefox starts dimming the screen, others tabs run slow. The screen dimming will last, for 2-3 minutes, and then clear up, 2-3 minutes later it will dim again. The fewer tabs I have helps, but not the answer. IMO the problem has gotten worse over the few upgrades. I have an HP 2000 Laptop, CPU 1300.000 MHz, memory 7586 MiB.
Thx, Larry

Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

  • Can't access gmail and google docs

    still can't access gmail or google docs (or google reader) over my airport extreme n.
    all works fine on the desktop machine through the ethernet port on the base station.
    any advice?

    If it works through the Ethernet port on the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) it probably has nothing to do with the AEBS. There must be something about the configuration of the computer connecting wirelessly.

  • Since upgrading to firefox ver. 3.6.8 can't upload files to Google Docs, whose help forum indicates many firefox users are having this problem since upgrading to 3.6.8: You can click on the "Select files to upload" link but nothing happens.

    Right-clicking on the link doesn't offer options to open anywhere (new tab, etc.)

    There is a problem with uploading files to Google docs in Firefox 3.6x versions.

  • Can't access youtube and google docs.

    I can't access some websites, like youtube (I can only see a page with text and links) and google docs (firefox stops downloading like everything is correct, but nothing happens). Allready fully uninstalled (as far as I know, forgot bookmarks, passwords, etc....) firefox from my OSX 10.6. Installed it again and find the same problems. Other browsers have no problem with these websites. thanks. No errors reported by firefox.

  • Can't see detail on Google Docs

    Hello.  First time I haven't brought a Mac and although I am trying to be positive and realistic about the level of service I will get from the Touchsmart I must say it hasn't been a great experience so far. 
    Within a month of using it, it had to be returned to the HP shop due to bugs. It took a mamouth amount of phonecalls to get the computer fixed. 
    Still now the following issues arise, in order of importance:
    Documents are blurred in Google docs and HP say this is the software companies fault. I haven't ever experinced a hardware company passing the buck in this way neither have I had issues using standard software on a known brands device 
    The Windows home button still randomly moves to applications at its own will e.g. Skype
    Applications such as Spotify are extremely slow to load 
    Generally my productivity on basic matters is at least 50% slower 
    I'd love to return the product but HP won't allow it. Maybe someone could help with the first three points?
    Thanks in advance for your support.

  • Can't open attachments in google docs anymore

    Some time this past week I've stopped being able to open attachments in my Gmail with Google docs. I've restarted Firefox, restarted my computer, checked my plug ins are updated (updated Flash) but nothing makes a difference.
    When I click view it opens the Google docs tab and says loading and the page opens as if it's will finish downloading but then never finishes. The page remains blank and just says loading.
    I also no longer have the option when I click download of opening immediately, or saving. Now I can only save the file and then open it. No option to open it directly.
    I'm on Mac OS 10.5.8, Firefox 4.0

    Whats the answer please?

  • Can't copy/paste in google docs

    Hello,
    I'm using a Mac and I can't use the copy / paste function in google docs with firefox. I know they wan't to prevent websites to do some damage but I need this function and it would be a great help if firefox / mozilla would give the option to change this behaviour.
    Any idea how I could achieve this?
    Otherwise I would have to switch back to Chrome which I wouldn't do gladly.
    Thanks!

    Please make sure that all of your extensions are up to date, this might be affecting the functionality in drive.

  • Can websites be optimized for faster loading?

    I have created a rather comprehensive website for nature, science and the environment in my region. I have tried to make it content rich with both text, links and photos for the broader, general population. I am,however, receiving complaints from about 25% of my subscribers that page load times are long, (sometimes very long) and that loading sometimes stops before continuing. A few of these say that pages won't load completely and one has said it has crashed his browser. Most others (75%) report absolutely no issues what-so-ever.
    The website can be found at: http://web.mac.com/rwolfert/NJNature_Notes_Website/FrontPage.html
    After questioning about 2 dozen readers, I have the feeling it has to do with the following (so far):
    1-browsers…IE is the slowest by far with Safari and Firefox best. Safari renders pages best.
    2-computer memory…I can't prove this yet but this seems a no-brainer. Anything less than 1 GB of memory is really not going to help with complex pages.
    3-processor speed…this too should be obvious…newer machines will handle complex pages better
    4-add-ons like drop shadows and reflections on images
    5-and possibly, too many images on a given page
    So, this leads to some questions about optimizing pages or an entire website.
    1-Does the website have TOO many drop shadows, and/or photos?
    2-Is there a way to optimize photos that have been resized so they are as small as they can be while not losing any screen resolution? I would imagine that when adding photos to a page that will play slideshows, that the images are automatically optimized for the page. But, images that are resized or masked on the page itself, are not. Is the answer here to process each of those kinds of images in iPhoto or Photoshop first, at the exact size? Would I have to set resolution in some way too?
    3-Do I really have to 'dumb down' the site's graphics (drop shadows, etc.) for people with older and slower computers, and the 'wrong' browser?
    Thanks for any help. I would really love to resolve this issue or, at least, give the complaining viewers an answer.
    Rich

    Something else I just thought of.
    If you have other computers available (windows, too), would you please try the website there to see if platform or older vs. new computers make a big difference, different amounts of memory and/or processor speed, as well.
    Note, I removed about 20 drop shadows and photo reflections from the Front Page of the website and I do seem to get about a 20% decrease in load time.
    Thank you very much.

  • Creating a cfhttp multi part form post for google docs upload

    Hey all,
    If you saw my last thread, you know I am working with google docs and uploading documents to it. Well I got basic document uploading working, but now I am trying to include meta data. Google requires you to include the metadata with the actual file data and seperate them by using a multi part form upload. I don't know exactly the process for doing so, but they have a handy code snippet of the desired results at
    http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/3.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#UploadingDoc s
    So I am basically trying to mimic that payload, however I am continually getting an error stating that there are no parts in a multi part form upload.
    <errors xmlns='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'><error><domain>GData</domain><code>InvalidEntryException</code><internalReason>No parts detected in multipart message</internalReason></error></errors>
    to be exact. I am not really sure what I am doing wrong here. I figure it is one of two things, either I am not including the actual data in the payload properly (I am currently using a body type param for the payload, but I have also tried a formfield named content to deliver it. Neither worked). So maybe I need to do something else tricky there? The other thing which I am not reallly sure about is the content-length attribute. I don't know exactly how to calculate that, and I read in another forum that a content length attribute was messing that guy up. Right now I am just taking the lenght of the payload string and multiplying by 8 (to get the number of bytes for the entire payload) but hell if I know if that is right. It could be I just don't know how to set up the parts for the message, it seems pretty straight forward though. Just define a boundary in the content-type, then put two dashes before it wherever you define a new part, and two dashes trailing the last part.
    Anyway, here is my code, any help is much appreciate. I'm a bit beyond my expertise here (not really used to trying to have to roll my own http requests, nevermind multipart post form data) so I'm kinda flailing around. Thanks again.

    There are many people complaining about this in other threads.  I found the solution from kglad in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5750996
    You can get Flash CC to publish to version 9 player by putting these two files in these locations:
    This file: http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/5510986-147069/Fl ashPlayer9_0.xml

    You may need to create the FP9 folder.
    Restart flash and you should see Player 9 in your publish options.  You'll have to find the AS3 clickTag code.

  • Need to copy form tag in source for google docs form...cannot find it?

    I have a google docs form that has worked, but they have just introduced an acknowledged bug that kills it.
    SO, i need to copy the form tag from the source code, but there is no form tag (in safari or FF on mac viewing on me.com). It is in an iweb HTML widget, does this some how change where I find the form tag?
    Below are the steps. Looking at non-iweb site with google form, the form tag is there.
    Where is it in iweb?
    Thanks
    bob
    5) Right click anywhere on the page and click View Source to look at the code behind the form.
    6) Copy all the code between <form> and </form> tags and paste it into the new form page on your web site.

    This was my bad, I realized that the instructions were referring to the form tags in source of the google docs forms website...since it is hosted, the form is not actually in iweb.
    Google forms changed, after submit instead of a link to return to the form (i.e. your web) the link now says "create your own form" which means the user has not way to return (except the browser back button). Google says they will correct it in a future version...
    thanks

  • Help - Can't open Word for Windows docs because of "Spelling Checker" error

    Since updating to the new Pages of iWork 08, I've started having consistent problems opening Word documents sent to me from Windows using colleagues. When I open the .doc in Pages, an error message appears saying "Alert: Couldn't contact Spell Checker." When I dismiss the error message, it immediately pops up again. It is impossible to dismiss the error message long enough to close the document or even to quit Pages, so I have to Force Quit Pages. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem and be able to open Word documents in Pages again? Thanks!

    WordService is not a spell checker. It adds various actions to the Services menu, such as changing to smart quotes, changing to lowercase, etc. I've been using it successfully since Pages 1 came out.
    I suggest deleting/moving/archiving/something with that CocoAspell file & restart your Mac. It very welll could be the culprit. It's not the current version of these third-party spell checkers that are a problem. The problem seems to be left over bits after a spell checker is removed that is seen when you open a Word document, but the original program isn't found.
