Facebook and apps freeze whenever I click anywhere on the page.

I open Facebook and immediatly the page stops scrolling, the mouse wont move,and every game either doesnt load or freezes.Always takes forever for the game to load if it even tries to load.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running.

Firefox closes right after I click anywhere on the page.

I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox for couple of times to solve out my problem. Earlier it was saying that some .ddl is not a valid image. So, I changed the location of installation. Now its opening but when I click anywhere on the firefox window it closes without throwing any erro.

When on safari if i click anywhere on the page another page opens in a new tab with an ad

The other day i download something on Facebook. Since then my safari has not been the same. My homepage changed from safari to something like quick search and whenever i am on a page no matter what or where i click another page opens in a new tab with an advert or survey and i have to click ok to get rid of the message then cancel the page.
Before this happened, my internet was just set as a standard apple laptop is from new, and when on safari if i clicked the little + in tabs part a new page would come up and give me the choice to pick from some of my favourite sites etc

This can happen if adware Genieo is installed without your knowledge. Removing it will help,
1. Download and use free AdwareMedic to remove the adware
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
    Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
    Once done, quit AdwareMedic.
               or
    Remove the adware manually by following the “HowTo” from Apple.
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987
2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
     Turn those off and relaunch Safari to test .
     Turn those on one by one and test.

How can I customize window size and have it stay that way? It automatically maximizes the moment I click anywhere on the page.

I have added a large widescreen monitor and now have a two-screen set up. This taxed my old video card, so we replaced that, too. Then I updated Firefox. Now my window automatically maximizes. "Restore" is the same size as "Maximize", and I can resize it if I carefully drag and drop all four corners. But if I click on the top bar to relocate the resized window, it re-maximizes. I can't find any options or settings that allow me to fix the window size, lock a customized window size, etc. IE8 is not doing this, so I don't think it's the monitor or desktop settings.

Window sizes and positions are stored in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]. 
 
Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted. 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf 
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder) 
 
Note: 
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults. 
You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it. 
Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.

Since the most recent update (as of 7-24-10), Firefox will not load and clicking anywhere on the page brings up a "This Program is Not Responding" notice.

I've tried removing and re-adding Firefox to McAfee's program permissions. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. Neither solved the problem.

Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).
Does Think Central have any help pages about this issue? Without an account, it is difficult to explore the issue first-hand.

Typing cursor when I click anywhere on the page (this issue is not in the other, probably something I changed in about: config)

hello, please press F7 in order to leave caret browsing mode - then the behaviour should be back to normal...

I open a new tab and nothing works until I click anywhere, get redirected to a different tab, close that one, then I can follow links on tab I wanted to open.

When I open a new tab, for instance if I search on a topic and there are several sites that seem promising, I will open them in new tabs. I can scroll over the links or text on the new tab and the cursor doesn't react.The new tab has fully loaded but the cursor will not recognize text or links. Before anything will work first I have to left-click anywhere on the page. I get redirected to a new tab, invariably a trusted offer or survey. When I close that other tab, then the first tab acts normal. I scroll over it and the cursor recognizes the text and the links.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Cannot use safari as the thin filter avoids me from clicking anything on the page, cannot use safari as the thin filter avoids me from clicking anything on the page

i am not able to acess any pages in my safari ... the address bar and the google search bar is working though ... but anything on the page ... on any page is not clickable ... i am not able to click anywhere on the pages and a thin filter layer is appearing on the pages as if avoiding me from clickin or touching anywhere on the page

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I want to download an app, but whenever I click on it, it does the spinning in a circle thing but never asks for my password and never downloads, I want to be able to download apps again! What to do?

I want to download apps, but whenever I click download, it does the spinning in a circle thing but never asks for my password and never downloads, I want to be able to download apps again! How do I fix this?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Stop the viewer having the ability to click/touch anywhere on the page and it going to the next page

I have created a PDF with links to various pages so that it can be used on a touch screen. I need to be able to stop the viewer having the ability to click/touch anywhere on the page and it going to the next page. In Keynote you select a check box that says : "Hyperlinks only" is their something similar in PDF?

You can upload it to a file-sharing website (Acrobat.com, DropBox, etc.)
and post the link here, or you can send it to me privately at

Hey there FlamingTurd!
If you are having issues connecting to the App Store on your phone, there is an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
We also have an article that deals with troubleshooting apps you have downloaded from the App Store and installed on your computer. That article can be found here:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Finally, if neither of those articles resolve the issue, you may need to restore your iPad:

Hello Dave,
Congratulations on your new Apple TV. Also, thank you for the details about the issue you are experiencing when using AirPlay on your Apple TV.
I recommend reviewing the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring" in the following article (you can skip the steps that refer to a Mac since you are experiencing it on your iPad). I suggest reviewing the full section, but this step specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.
