Cant get the laptop touchpad scroll feature to work in latest Firefox version

Since installing version 4 of Firefox the touchpad scroll function has stopped working. All other programs continue to scroll correctly and the touchpad driver is uptodate (Lenovo UltraNav).

Try this: <br />
Type about:config into address bar, hit enter, Firefox would ask if you want to access the settings, say yes you know the risk.
When the list of configurations come up, type '''trackpoint''' into the filter area, you will see a '''ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled''' setting, change that from -1 to 1. Now you should be able to scroll using trackpoint and middle mouse button on the trackpad again.

  • Can;t get the 'Shake to Shuffle' feature to work

    I bought a new 16gig blue ipod nano yesterday and its all going good except for two things.
    Firstly- I cant get the 'Shake to Shuffle' feature to work. I will shake my ipod around like mad when im in shuffle mode but nothing happens!
    and Secondly- I cant get the genius to work on my ipod. When im playing a song I hold down the middle button and 'Add to On The Go, Browse Album, Browse Artist and Cancel' all come up but no genius! I do not have an itunes account because I do not have a Credit Card so i cant work it on my itunes either- is that why it wont work on my ipod?
    If some would could please help me out it would be much appreciated.
    Thankyou.

    1) Make sure Shake-to-shuffle is turned on in the Settings option of the iPod.
    2) Genius won't work if you haven't activated it in iTunes. You don't have to give a credit card to get an account, a debit will do just fine.
    In any case, here's a link to create an account without providing bank card details:

  • I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

    I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.  It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro.  When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device.  I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer.  Any ideas?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

  • HT201365 I CANT GET THE FIND MY IPHONE APP TO WORK

    Just downloaded IOS7.  I am not part of iCloud.  On IOS6 I was able to use Find My iPhone.  On IOS7 it won't work.  I have gone into "Settings" "iCloud" and the Find My iPhone Icon is 'greyed out', as in it won't let me use it.  I REALLY do not want to join iCloud at this time.  How do I get back what I had, so that I can use the "Find My iPhone" feature?  Surely there has to be a way, as there was in IOS6.

    much like insurgence then you need to enable my iphone before it's lost it can't be don afterwards

  • Laptop touchpad scrolling does not work with Verion 6.0. Why?

    I have a Lenovo T400. since downloading the 6.0, I can not use the touchpad to scroll. It still works on the other application and also on MS explorer. The Arrows work on firefox and scroll using arrows, just not the touchpad. Thanks for any feedback.

    i figured it out!
    1) go to control panel
    2) click on mouse
    3) click on the UltraNav tab at the top
    4) for the TrackPoint, i have the Enable TrackPoint box checked and the "Use as pointing device with advanced features
    5) click on Settings
    6) click on settings again towards the bottom right
    7) for "Scrolling Type" click on Smooth.
    that should work!

  • My laptop touchpad scroll is not working with firefox 4. It is wroking with other programs. When I attach a mouse then scroll works with mouse wheel. It is only not working with touchpad. It is/was working with firefox 3.6.x

    I am using windows xp service pack 3 with Lenovo T60p.

    I too have this problem, I have an Acer Aspire 7551G with an ALPS mutitouch touchpad. It works perfectly fine in every other program, and worked in Firefox 3.6. Scroll also works fine with a USB mouse. I tried downloading the 'latest' driver from the Acer support website, but when I tried to install it, it says that I am trying to install the same driver that I already have, so that fix isn't possible. I've only had the machine for 3 months, so I would imagine the drivers are pretty current.
    I can't believe that this is a driver problem anyway, as I say, it works perfectly well in every other program, so it must be something wrong with Firefox. I was looking forward to using Firefox 4, but this problem is too annoying to put up with. Oh well, back to Chrome... at least until there is a fix found or implemented.

  • Cant get the music purchased with aol to work

    i have swapped from aol to orange and the music i bought with aol wont work . i have recently backed up my music and reinstalled it to the same computer after a full restore . how can i get my music to work ?? any ideas

    Assuming the music you bought through AOL is an mp3 file, standard music. But I would guess they have some kind of copy protection, or maybe Itunes recognizes it as copy-protected. Check with AOL. Aol has a music service? I don't know, I never used AOL. That's my best guess.

  • I am having a problem getting the Zoom Text Only Feature to work

    I am being told that this problem is unique to my Firefox Browser, and only changes the entire page, text included,..

    I realize you are trying to repeat something someone at a "help" desk told you but I can't figure out what the question is. Maybe you could tell us what the problem is and what you told them. Might help if we knew the url, but I'm guessing it's a financial site, so just explain the problem as best you can. Were you in private browsing -- settings not saved
    Do you have any idea why you were told that your problem is unique compared to others using Firefox, or maybe that you were told that Firefox was unique.

  • Spell check for Facebook--I can't get the FF spell check feature to work.

    Under tools and options, "check my spelling as I type" is selected; I have installed a dictionary. Yet, under "troubleshooting information", the table shows spell check as not being enabled. What else must I do?", edit

    Well, I used the RH GUI to make this setting, so what could possibly go wrong ...
    I wonder about that myself too...
    One remark about the RoboHelp generated code: When you upgrade your RH7 project to RH8/9, this bulleted list will no longer work correctly. (RoboHelp is to blame for that.) You may want to check out http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/lists/lists.htm which tells you how to refactor your pre RH8 lists to make them work in RH8/9. I think it's very worthwile to fix it now in RH7 to make sure you won't encounter any problems if you upgrade. Especially since you just created the list and can make it right without having to fix hundreds of topics.

  • How to get the Personas Rotator add-on to work with new Firefox themes?

    Before Firefox changed from personas to themes, the Personas Rotator add-on automatically switched personas at a set interval (ie. every 1 minute). I presently have Firefox 12.0 installed as well as the latest versions of both Personas Plus and Personas Rotator but the rotator does not work.
    Before it was necessary to sign into My Favorites for the add-on to rotate my favorite personas, but now when I sign in, there is no rotation. Only one persona/theme that is enabled stays on the screen. There is no automatic rotation.
    Private browsing mode is not selected. How can I get Personas Rotator to work again? Thank you.

    Good news! The Personas Rotator is now working again and switching personas automatically at 1 minute intervals.
    It began working again after I went to the 'Appearance' tab under 'Add-ons' and removed all the personas listed there (these are ones I 'Added to Firefox' from My Favorites list which is accessed after signing in to the gallery).
    But now I see that the personas that are presently being rotated are appearing in the 'Appearance' tab as well. I wonder if it will be necessary to 'remove' all these later to have them rotate again. Will post an update later for anyone having this same problem.

  • Why is the "Show Item Info" feature not working on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?

    Under the Show View Options menu in Finder, I have repeatedly attempted to get the "Show Item Info" feature to work. Yet instead of the item info, it just adds some transparent spacing where the file info is supposed to be. The "Show Item Info feature is checked, so what's going on?

    I was talking about the feature that displays how many files are in a folder and the dimensions of a picture.

  • Scrolling suddenly stopped working on laptop. this is'nt the first time as I have had issues with my laptop mouse scolling feature not working

    What a pain in the ass. Firefox will inadvertently stop the scrolling feature from working on my synaptics laptop mouse. It works for every other program except Firefox. Really??? This has happened on other versions of FF and I was sooo reluctant to upgrade as I was afraid it would happen again and viola, 3 days later it stopped working. If I restart FF scrolling works for about 15 seconds and then stops again. This is a joke.

    Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
    Here is how to do this:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
    Click the Disks tab below the icons
    Click Erase
    The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
    Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
    Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes
