FF 3.6.8 on Macbook hangs when 'enter' pressed in address bar

Hi,
I have an ongoing problem with Firefox hanging for around 10-20 seconds, usually when I've typed a url into the address bar and then pressed enter.
I have tried isolating addons, but to no avail. Not an issue on any other browsers, including the 4.0 beta.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply. I have exactly the same issue in safe mode.

Need to allow only one of 2 buttons in a region to respond when enter pressed

Hi,
Apex version 4.2
Theme: Blue Resposive 25
My page has 1 region with a sub-region inside it. Both regions have a button. When I hit enter it seems the button in the sub-region is the one that gets actioned. I don't want this to happen I want the other button to run. Is this possible ?
Also when I google around looking for answers to this issue I see references to apex page items having a setting value of 'Submit when enter pressed' which can be changed to Yes or No. I simply can't find that setting in my items. Perhaps it has been removed in apex 4.2 ?
Thanks
Steve.

Thanks Scott,
That is useful information. I turned on debug and I can see that my problem is actually that neither button is being submitted on enter.
Are you able to tell me where the setting 'Submit when enter pressed' ? is found. I think this is probably the key to my issue.
Steve.
It's in the item's Settings section. However, it's only available on Text and Password items.

How can I make Firefox display Bookmarks tab instead of Top Sites when I touch the address bar?

I am using Firefox on HTC One. When I touch the address bar, I want to be able to see the Bookmarks tab instead of Top Sites. By default, it always goes to Top Sites. Is there a setting that I can change, or change the order of the tabs? Thank you

Hi:
Unfortunately you cannot remove the top sites homepage but you can pin a site, remove a site by unpinning it and edit a pinned site's url.
Please read [[Pin Sites on the Firefox for Android start screen|this article]] for instructions.
Hope this helps!

I cannot open a new tab. When I press the tab bar, sometimes it opens, but most of the times it won't. It is especially so when there are already 5 tabs opened

I have a problem opening a new tab with FireFox 24.0.
When I press the tab bar, sometimes it opens, but most of the times it won't. It is especially so when there are already 5 tabs opened.
I use "checkCompatibility 1.3" and "Google Toolbar for FireFox 7.1.20110512W" as addons. There have been no problems until the previous version of FireFox.

Thank you for the reply.
It works fine with the safe mode. So it must be something to do with <i>checkCompatibility 1.3</i> or <i>Google Toolbar for FireFox 7.1.20110512W</i>.
Both are necessary to run Google Toolbar on Firefox, and the fact is Google Toolbar is too convenient to be removed. So I have bookmarked a couple of blank pages and I right-click them to open new tabs. But it is so tiresome.
I hope this problem will be fixed in the next version. FireFox without Google Toolbar is just a useless browser.

Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

Can't get to Secure Area. Was working, but now Log-in Page hangs when enter Name and Password.

Built site using Muse, then used Business Catalyst to set up Secure Area. Site worked for several months, but the Log-in Page looked somewhat unprofessional, since Name and Password box could appear almost anywhere on page. Asked for Adobe Help, and Adobe tech sent 'Test' page to check presentation. Now Log-in Page doesn't work at all. When enter Name and Password and hit Return - nothing ! Have to 'Escape' out of page - it just hangs. So members of the community site can no longer share internal data.
Would really appreciate any help trying to fix this issue.
Thanks !

Please share the link to the page where the form is placed , along with test user login details, so that we may further look into this. Also a screenshot demonstrating the issue you facing would be of great help.

Why can't I use a backslash on my Iphone when entering my email address

Why can't I use a backslash on my Iphone when entering my email address

Best thing to do is go to your email, hit reply on any email and find the backslash on your keyboard. Select the Backslash and then cut/copy it into your mail settings or wherever you want to use it.

Open in new tab when dragging url in address bar

Hi,
when using Firefox on a Windows system, i can get a url (not hyperlink) opened in a new tab by dragging it to the address bar while holding Alt key on the keyboard.
Now I'm using Firefox (last version) on a Linux system (Linux Mint 14, precisely) but I can't do the same; is there any solution to reproduct this behaviour?
Thanks in advance

Does it work if you press the Return key afterwards? That is what I have to do with a Mac, anyway.

When I expand the address bar it shows sites I have visited in the past, how can I clear this?

When I go to my address bar and click on the small arrow to the right the bar expands to show sites I have visited in the past. The only problem is that these are sites I have visited a LONG time ago. I want to clear these sites and populate this drop down feature with more recent web sites I visit more frequently.

Thanks so much! That was exactly what I needed. But I do have a follow up question; how is it that items end up in your location bar history?

Why does my macbook hang when I restart?

I have to shut down and boot up, restart just hangs.

It helps when you post to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed.
Try booting from your install disc, run Disk Utility.
The startup disk may need repairing > Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
Check Capacity and Available at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
Make sure there's no less then 15% free disk space.

Macbook hangs when unlocking only when connected to university wifi. Any suggestions?

So, when I am connected to some university's wifi, It takes longer than a minute to unlock the screen. The process goes something like this when the laptop is connected to university wifi:
1) I click to bring up the password
2) I type in the correct password and press enter
3) I wait for ~75 seconds
4) The screen unlocks
When I am connected to home wifi, or a different institution's wifi, or no wifi
1) I click to bring up the password
2) I type in the correct password and press enter
3) I wait for less than a second
4) The screen unlocks
The fact that I always wait 75 seconds (I just tested it 3 times), leads me to think it might be a timeout for something, but I'm stumped as to what the lock screen could be doing with the wifi!
Any suggestions?

This also happens for any check of my password (e.g. when I try to unlock system preferences). When it does, I am unable to use they keyboard for anything.
I also forgot to mention that my hard disk is encrypted with FileVault.

Thunderbird hangs when entering addresses

When I begin entering a name in the To: field TB 31.5.0 hangs for a few seconds.
I have noticed that there is one email address in the address book that is repeated thousands of times. So many times that the computer and TB kind of time out when trying to delete them all at the same time.
I saw a similar problem in 2014 messages but it didn't involve the multiple addresses.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have experienced the duplications, it was caused I think by the gContact sync add-on. Once the address book gets huge, the lookup to address mails gets correspondingly slow.

Powermac G5 hangs when entering classic environment

I think I once saw a solution to this problem about a year ago on the baords, but it seems to have been deleted. When I try to run a Classic-only app, the "classic boot-up" screen appears, then hangs within a second or two. As my sig notes, I'm running a Dual 2.3 GHz G5.
My vague recollection of the solution to this problem was that some file had to be moved around or a sys pref changed. The thread was called "Getting Classic up to snuff" and I had a link to it, but it doesn't work any more.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or any other solution to get Classic working on my Powermac?

Dear Steve,
Do you mean "PrefRestoreInit" which is under
HDD > System Folder > Extension folder > PrefRestoreInit
Looking at the issue with a lager perspective I am suggesting you to go for following actions.
1. Open System Preferences, and choose View > Classic. 2. Click the Start/Stop tab, and look for bold text that says Classic is "running" or "not running."
3. You want to be sure Classic is not running. If it is running, click the Stop button.
4. Click your desktop.
5. Choose File > New Folder.
6. Give the new folder a name such as "Previous Mac OS 9 Items".
7. Choose Go > Home.
8. Open your Library folder, then open the Classic folder that is inside it. (Your current path is: ~/Library/Classic/).
9. Move all the contents of this Classic folder into the folder you named in Step 6.
10. Go back to System Preferences and click the Start button to start Classic. A dialog asks if you want to populate the folder you just emptied with files from the Mac OS 9 System Folder.
11. Click OK. Items are copied from the cleanly installed System Folder, and folders reappear at ~/Library/Classic/.
12. Once Classic starts, check to see whether the issue persists. If it does, you may have an application-specific issue, and you need to reinstall the application.
Also you can disable extensions while starting the classic environment.step :
1. As Classic or Mac OS 9 starts up, press and hold the Shift key to disable extensions.
2. Locate the FileSharingLib extension. If it is not in the "Extensions (Disabled)" folder of the System Folder, then try locating it with the Mac OS X version of Sherlock (if applicable).
Alternative solution: If you cannot locate this extension, an alternative solution is to find the file "PrefRestoreInit", which should be in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder.
3. Drag FileSharingLib into the Extensions folder, which is in the Mac OS 9 System Folder.
Alternative solution: If you could not find FileSharingLib in the last step, then remove PrefRestoreInit from the Extensions folder.
4. Restart the computer or Classic, allowing extensions to load normally.
If this does not help then follow the article to rebless the system folder
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=18611
There is one specific file for classic in the core folder did you mean that file ?
Hope this information is helpful.
Godd Day!
Ravi Dimri.
