Cursor does not blink in searcg box when Firefox first loads

The cursor in both Internet Explorer & Google Chrome blinks when the programs are first loaded. This does not happen in Firefox v8 is this correct?

If I'm not logged on then the cursor is in the login form at the top. 
Once logged in the main body has focus and not a specific element, so you have to click in an input filed to set focus to it.
If it worked before then they have changed the code of that page recently and it is just a coincidence that it happened around the time that Firefox updated.

Cursor does not change to a circle when using eraser

Cursor does not change to a circle when using the eraser.
I'm sure it must be a tick box somewhere.
Its always been ok previously.

I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
4. Click ok.
Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

When Firefox first loads, there is threatening script which quickly comes up and disappears, but I want to freeze and read it; but how?

I am the victim of Identity Theft. The perpetrator has taken over as Roaming Administrator of my PC's. I once had 7 of them, but she has stolen/destroyed all but 2. She is taking online classes at college from Microsoft, and puts her class notes on one of the 2 surviving ones, which was returned to me by law enforcement. She has denied me access even to my "My Documents" subdirectory, &, in an ASUS AMD 8-core PC w/16GB of RAM, with a 3D blu-ray DVD reader/writer & 52-memory card reader/writer built in & a 2TB Western Digital eSATA HDD, all of which I designed & built, she has hidden the entire directory tree on the hard drive & rendered all of the other devices disabled so that the system is kaput; all because I was amassing evidence against her for law enforcement & the FTC.
The question at-hand is how I screen-freeze Firefox as it is loading so that I can read the JavaScript she has written at the bottom of the banner. It is something about how she has accessed my Norton Identity Safe Vault, changed the password on me, & shut off & denied me access to my 2 Facebook accounts & others I am not quick enough to read. I need to screen-capture this message for law enforcement, because they STILL, after a year & losing a total of $223,000 from my bank account to her, don't have a case file with them! PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME! Katrina has actually hired a hit-man whom we have captured on surveillance video trying to shoot me in the head! She has also hacked her way into my router, changed my password & disabled the reset capability of the router so that even my ISP can't reset it! Imagine what YOU could do with $223,000! I am elderly, broke, and have lost almost 250 pounds because of her! If I live long enough, I want to see her in federal prison. If I die, I want her to die by lethal injection in Washington State for First Degree Murder!
FYI...I have used Firefox since its creation. The last time she wiped it off one of my systems & I reinstalled it, she caused it to install in Swedish. She has stolen the keys to all of my paid programs, & the companies now believe they actually belong to her, instead of myself. Norton 360 Premiere thinks I'm an intruder on my own machines, and Symanted has disabled my account, and will not communicate with me anymore. They gave her my Vault with more than 200 usernames and passwords! With GoDaddy, I had 17 non-profit SSL domains, for which I paid in excess of $8,000 to secure for 10 years with 21 email accounts. She obtained my SSN, impersonated me, demanded back the money I had paid, and they sent it to her. She stole the phone on which I had 2-step authentication, and now they won't let me near my accounts! I've had the same Gmail account for 8 years. Google opened up my password-secured YouTube account to 70,000+ strangers and pornography, and, after being LinkedIn's nominee for International Businesswoman of the Year, 2013, Google opened up my Wallet account to 2 other Identity Thieves to make purchases in my name, and they say I don't exist.
Lastly, she has poisoned our indoor spa with bio-terroristic flesh-eating parasites in the form of hybridized, skin-burrowing arthropods that killed our dog, cats, and dozens of birds in our special-needs avian sanctuary. I barely survived an 8-day stay in the hospital in June in, in "grave condition with toxic encephalopathy" because the parasites are immune to all parasiticides, and had crossed my blood-brain barrier. My husband has heart attacks, strokes and seizures constantly from them. I can no longer walk.
It is but one question I have asked, but your answer could be the key to stopping her from destroying what is left of our lives. With that JavaScripted message, she has cut me off from thousands of friends and family who have no idea what has happened to me. I live in a desolate, isolated corner of rural America without so much as phone or text service. All I have is the Internet and Firefox to keep me alive. If I can freeze that message and show it to the Whitman County Sheriff's Office, for whom I am the volunteer computer expert, they will accept their first-ever case of Identity Theft, and pursue her. It's bad enough that I lost the family fortune that my parents worked their whole lives to amass; I've lost my credibility, my self-esteem, and my will to live.
If you can help me, I plan on writing a book about the whole traumatic experience so that innocent others won't have to suffer the devastating nightmares as we have. Ours has been called, by the experts who should know, the worst case of Identity Theft in the history of the crime.

Hi,
Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

Cursor does not change when hovering over pop-up window link

I created a text link for a pop-up window. The link does work, but the cursor does not change to a pointy finger, the standard link icon.
I don't know a lot of javascript, but can figure it out if it's just adding some code.This was done in CS3. Any help would be appreciated! Here's the code:
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
Thanks in advance.
Todd

A link would be nice but I suspect that you are not gettign the finger (you knwo what I mean) when you roll over the link because your href is not set to anything.
<a href="" onclick=MM_openBrWindow('images/image.jpg','largeDisplay','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=100,height=120')
Set your href to "#" or "javascript:;" - the latter is preferred.

HT4113 My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason

My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason, what can we do? Can anyone help please?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cursor does not appear on Facebook page load. Spacebar shifts page down.

Cursor does not appear anywhere on Facebook page load. It used to land in the first text box, and as I was used to this I would open an FB page and start typing. Nothing was entered into the text box, and when I hit Spacebar it shifts the page down.
Couple of things:
It acts this way both in normal and in "safe mode".
It acts correctly on Google - it is my home page and when I open it the cursor is always in the search box. It also acts correctly on YouTube.
The cursor DOES NOT appear in the URL bar (thankfully)
The cursor DOES NOT appear in any text boxes on any other pages I open >> The Weather Channel, TED.com, Amazon.com
The Spacebar scrolls the screen down one frame at a time.
It has the same behavior with the "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages
I am using FF 18.0.1 on Windows XP
I have tried a lot of the weird tips and tricks suggested on this support forum, but none of them address specifically this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Trackpad is paired but cursor does not respond

OS 10.7.5 on 2009 Mac Pro. My new trackpad shows 43% battery but the cursor does not respond. Also keeps losing pairing. Could this be a battery issue? Someone told me that regular AA batteries sometimes cause these problems and that I shoid use lithium rechargeables (which does not make sense to me). This must be either the batteries or a defective unit. Comments appreciated.

Here are a few notes I have put together about batteries.   If something helps you, fine, let us know.   If not, post back with anything you can add about your problem.
Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems. Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best.
Rechargeable batteries for a standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before requiring a recharge.    Apple may say more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.   The benefit (if you are organised) is that you will always have charged batteries available.     Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced.
Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.
Both the above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.   Note.   Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly with rechargeable ones.
When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ...
Turn off the device.
Remove the batteries,
Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and on the batteries themselves.
Replace or renew both batteries.
Turn on the device.   You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired.
Click the mouse to activate it. The green light becomes steady.

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0
Cannot access in browser PDF files unless blank box is closed and then website address is clicked on again in browser address bar and page reloaded.
Uninstalled Acrobat 9, reinstalled, still same problem.
Help please!

Yes I can it only happens in the browser..
I reinstalled Windows on my machine and started over a couple of weeks ago.
When my desktop started up I didn’t have Acrobat installed and clicked on a pdf file and the open with xxx dialogue box came open.
I chose a different program as Acrobat wasn’t installed yet so it associated pdf files with another program.
Later Installed Acrobat and couldn’t associate the pdf file with acrobat so I went into Folder Options and manually associated PDF files with Acrobat.
Ever since then I get the error when something is downloaded and opened in the browser.
Works fine everywhere else and when I cancel the blank error, highlight the web address and press enter to reload it works 90% of the time.
Not sure what to do..

Cursor does not click the sign-out button in yahoo, rediff etc pages ?

cursor does not click the sign-out button in yahoo, rediff etc pages. E.G once I open my yahoo page, the cursor pointer will not change it's appearance to the finger type when I try to click the sign-out or inbox button. This does not happen with chrome or explorer.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar or the Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Cursor does not move, Cursor does not move

Cursor does not move, can not be controlled by wireless mouse and normal mouse, Are there any solution for this problem? Thank!

in selecting the word, it is very difficult to just place a cursor in the word to make any correction, because it wants to highlight it and it is near impossible to deselect
The standard mouse/text selection action should only select a word when you double-click it. Therefore you should be able to position the cursor within a word by just single-clicking it.
when I do finally get a cursor to appear instead of a highlighted word, the arrow keys don't move the cursor to where I need it
That certainly sounds amiss. I don't think I've ever seen a case where the cursor keys don't move.
So I'm thinking Leopard must have some preference / key preference thing going on?
There is a Keyboard & Mouse preference pane in System Preferences which is clearly the place to start, but off-hand I can't think which options there would cause this kind of setup.

Cursor does not change during the editing of clips

Hi. I am new to iMovie and am looking for some help. I have imported my clips, put them in my timeline and I want to shorten the clips. According to the movie that is on the Apple web site, when moving my cursor over the line separating my clips, my cursor is to 'change' allowing me to shorten the clip. Well, my cursor does not change. Is there a setting that needs to be corrected. Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Hi konrad - the View Menu DOES have a 'Show Clip Volume Levels" IF you are using iMovie HD!
But according to your Profile you have iMovie 4. Volume control in that version is at the bottom beneath the Timeline Audio tracks.
Hope this helps clear up your confusion.
Better to use the iMovie 4 forum in your case!:-)
