CTRL+F stopped working COMPLETELY.

after my firefox browser updated itself to version 25.0, the CTRL+F seems be completely gone. i use it all the time to search for text in the page (recently also with the "Find Toolbar Tweaks" extension) and now after the said update when i press CTRL+F (or hitting edit--->find) simply nothing happens. as if i did not press anything.
i checked my add-ons list and they're all seemingly in order. also, any other ctrl+whatever seems to work fine except this one.
so, any idea why this might happen? and how to bring back my beloved CTRL+F?

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Why does ctrl + "button" stops working?

    Hello peeps,
    I'm having some trouble using ctrl + "any button" in illustrator CS6 (v. 16.0.2 64-bit) with windows 7. I'm not sure how or why it stops working but I usually go on with my normal job and all of a sudden ctrl-commands stops working. (I will try to look into exactly when it happens and get back to here) I can't use ctrl+c, ctrl+v or even ctrl+n for a new document. Alt-commands such as alt+drag and drop with left mouse button to copy still works. I try to reboot illustrator but it's the same thing, ctrl-button doesn't work. I
    All ctrl-commands (and just the ctrl-button in general) works well in windows and in my browser (firefox).
    Things I've tried but with no success...
    - Re-plugging my keyboard
    - Looked over settings for short commands (they're set to standard)
    - Reboot illustrator
    - Killed illustrator.exe through "ctrl+alt+del"
    Things I've tried with success...
    - Restarting the computer makes ctrl-button work again
    However, if I open a saved document (pdf or ai) ctrl-commands all of a sudden works.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! /Fredrik

  • I recently tried to upgrade my itunes on my dell laptop with 64bit Windows 7 and it stopped working completely. So I tried deleting and installing all over again and haven't been able to reinstall it since. I've tried numerous things i've read in forums

    I recently tried to upgrade my itunes on my dell laptop with 64 bit windows 7. It stopped working so I deleted all files and tried to reinstall and haven't been able to since. I've tried numerous things i've read in forums and nothing seems to work. The installation will not move past the "publishing product information" point. After being stuck there for a while this error message appears:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",process or Architecture="x86"', Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD
    I hope someone is able to help me with this.

    Did you already try what bnoir suggested in this post about error 0x800736FD:
    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736FD, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?
    This thread might help as well, suggestion provided by bnoir:
    In general, these ones tend to be caused by underlying problems on the PC that can prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to try to fix the Windows Update issues. If we can get Windows Updates flowing again, that generally clears up the iTunes install errors +en passant.+
    Head into your Windows Update, and check for any new updates. Do any fail? If so, open your Update History and doubleclick on the failure entries to bring up a small box with alphanumeric error message codes. Are you getting 8000FFFFs? (They often seem to be associated with an iTunes-install 0x800736FD.)
    If you're getting 8000FFFFs, try the following Microsoft document:
    [Windows Update Error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
    Head back to Windows Update, and stock up on any updates you're behind on. Once you're completely up to date in that regard, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Ctrl-Enter stopped working in the navigation toolbar in 3.6.13

    Ctrl-Enter has always been a standard feature in the navigation bar (URL / address bar). For example you type only "getfirefox" in the bar then press Ctrl-Enter and it autofills the http://www and the .com and submits the request, so you are taken to http://www.getfirefox.com without having to type anything other than "getfirefox" and Ctrl-Enter.
    This stopped working when I updated to 3.6.13. Also I cannot type a full URL and simply press Enter to submit it. The only way I can cause the browser to go to the URL I entered is to manually put the mouse cursor on the "right arrow" icon at the right end of the URL window and click that icon.
    As you can imagine, this is really annoying. I disabled all of my addons (I suspected Firebug or Web Developer of causing the problem) and the problem still persisted anyway. I reinstalled Firefox 3.6.13 and the problem is still the same. I wonder if it has anything to do with Firefox 4 beta being installed on my system. But I don't try to use them at the same time.

    I knew AVG Safe Search couldn't be the problem because I had uninstalled it! Guess what. It was uninstalled, all right, but the add-on to Firefox was still there, disabled. That uninstall was grayed out.
    I re-enabled it and disabled it, this time it said it would be uninstalled the next time I restarted Firefox. So I did that. Nothing changed. However, this time I noticed that just above the restart message was a place to click restart. That restart worked!
    Some people just know how to write obtuse software messages.

  • Why Ctrl+Tab stops working when opening a flash embedded page?

    This a huge pet peeve I have. Everytime I watch a video in youtube.com or megavideo.com, I can't just Ctrl+Tab to change tabs. I'll have to clic in some portion of the page without video to get it to work, but even that, isn't always the case.

  • CTRL + Z stops working all of a sudden???????????

    like it says in the title, after a while (usually 5-20 minutes of working in PS CS4 registered version) CTRL + Z keyboard shortcut stops working  (instead of doing the usual UNDO it changes image to CMYK mode) as well as ALL OTHER KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS (for example bracket keys [ and ] dont increase/decrease brush size, they just dont do anything).
    All of this happens randomly, but never since the beggining of work, always somewhere after 5-20 minutes, probably after a certain operation in Photoshop, applying some filter effects or similar.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Any help is appreciated!

    I do not recall ever having read of this problem, and have never experienced it myself.
    Hot-keys can be touchy subjects, as many different programs map them differently. However, that said, Ctrl-Z has been a very common hot-key with Windows and Windows programs for some time now. I would find it highly unlikely that any Windows program nowadays would map it to anything else. Still, some programs are rather rogue, so it would not be impossible to imagine that something is re-mapping the key-combo, and maybe sometimes after you have started PS.
    What I would also look into would be your memory/resources, and maybe their being filled up. PS offers the ability to Purge Memory. I'd try that, and see if things get back to normal. Obviously, you will lose that last Redo, in the process, but you should then be able to check things out, with the next Redo.
    Good luck, and hope that someone has a real cure for this - just because I know nothing of this behavior doesn't mean that there isn't some Bug, lurking just below the surface, and I missed it.

  • Messages stopped working completely

    Out of the blue Messages has stopped working - first lost all of my recent conversations and now when I try to send a message by hitting "return" nothing happens.
    Is there a way to uninstall and then reinstall just Messages?
    Really at a complete loss here.
    This is on an old mac book pro, running Mountain Lion of course.

    Hi,
    It would be useful to know what you have tried.
    Start with the Apple Icon menu top left and About this Mac.
    Does this show the Serial Number ?
    In System Preferences > Date and Time does it show the Automatic server in use ?
    Have you set it to the Correct Time Zone ?
    In  Finder window use the GO Menu whilst holding down th ALT key.
    Select the Library that Appears.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    Find the com.apple.iChat.plist and Drag it to the Trash.
    Does the App start now ?
    In the Font Book scroll to the bottom of the List and check the AppleGothic Font.
    It should not  be disabled. It should validate (File Menu) and not be duplicated.
    Also check the Helvetica Neue and Lucida Grande whilst you are there.
    IF the app will open check the Details Button in Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account
    This should list you Location (county or Region for telephone International codes).

  • My volume has stopped working completely after the iOS 8 update

    My sound has completely stopped working after the ios 8 update yesterday.please help

    I just now spoke with Apple support as I had a similar issue, where the volume on some apps and games did not work, and what I was told helped me out greatly.
    what I was told to do is hold down the power and the home screen button at the same time for about three or four seconds until the device shuts down and you should see it restarting. If the device does not restart on its own hit the power button and it should restart and then you should have no problem at all everything should be as it should be.
    I hope this helps you or someone else in a similar situation as it is helped me and hope this makes your day better. 
    My device is iPad air Retina.
