Find on page not working - nothing happens when typing

Have now moved to new laptop Dell with Windows 7 and have installed Firefox again - tried to restore setting but it didn't work so have restored my addons and setting and customisation.
All appears to be working fine except that "find on page" doesn't appear to be working at all.

Well, you wouldn't believe it - I just pressed "Control" key and started typing and there it was. I looked all over the Support pages and forum but couldn't find a solution but this is now solved. Not sure how I show it as "solved". Will try anyway- thanks.

  • My Video APP has stopped working, NOTHING happens when I click on the APP I just see a black screen

    HELP............My Video App is NOT working.  Nothing happens when I click it on.  Worked fine until today when I tried to fast forward a video. Can I re-install the Video App??

    hold down the power button and the home button until ipad turns off then press the power button to turn it back on, this should solve your problem and most other problems you encounter.

  • Why won't the Adobe Acrobat free trial download button work - nothing happens when I click it?

    I've tried any number of ways to enter the site and download the free Adobe Acrobat version and nothing happens.   I don't get any response to my clicks.

    Have you tried using a different browser?  Some browsers do not fair well with download links in the Adobe site.

  • Albums and Related Photo Page Not Working and IE when Files Local

    OK this is a tricky one for me.
    iWeb 3.0
    Building and testing a site from a local folder on my MBP
    Create an album page, add an album from Aperture save and publish to local folder ( Sites )
    Looks great in Safari
    Testing in Windows XP (vmwear on the same machine) - Firefox works perfectly BUT Internet Explorer 7.0 and the albums will not show on the page. Manually type in the url to the related photo page and and no photos display and clicking the play slideshow does nothing.
    HERE IS THE FUNKY part!! I tested a page from Old Toads site with demos of albums and it works PERFECTLY in IE. A check of the source and it too was created with iWeb 3
    Tried a simple test site and same issue with local files.
    So here is my question to you: Would there be any reason albums would not be working when in a site is being tested from a local file file folder?
    Thanks

    The plot thickens...
    I prefered to test local to review changes and test in all browers without dealing with ftp etc. Good idea at the time but MSFT is too quirky...
    I loaded the site (FTP) to my host and the albums work fine in IE... Bottom line is testing from local folders is not reliable in IE... Safari and FireFox are fine...
    Side note: Most websafe fonts also sucked on IE (clear type on) so I went with images for various small text blocks. The overhead of the png files is small in the name of quality. Also no chance to get the nav bar to work with IE so that was all manually done.

  • Find in page not working.

    After a while, neither cmd-F nor selecting find from the menu brings up the find field in which to type my search terms. The only way to bring it back is to restart Safari. This is really annoying. Any ideas how to make Safari stop behaving this way?
    TIA
    Edwin

    Make sure you are running the latest version of safari and that it is not a beta. If it still happens click on the "report bugs to apple" link (3rd option down on the safari menu)

  • Web page not working for vi when launched from testsetand

    we've setup a web page for a vi in labview (web publishing tool) and its visible in IE until you close labview
    this vi is then run from teststand thou the web page isnt being updated?
    we need to be able to view the contents of the vi remotely

    Hi,
    Would it be possible for you to upload either the programs that demonstrate this (if not too large) or quickly create a program and run instructions in order to replicate this behaviour here? Also which versions of TestStand and LabVIEW are you running?
    Once I have this extra information and code I will replicate the issue here and look into it further for you,
    All the best,

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

    The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

    After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

    reinstall by clicking setup on your disk or downloading and installing,

  • I have a late 2008 white macbook.  I have a mini dvi to hdmi adapter, and a hdmi cord.  My cannot get my MB to detect an external monitor.  Nothing happens when plugged in.  Also, my display settings does not have an option for mirroring or arrangment tab

    Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

  • Why can't I add bookmarks to Firefox 3.6.6? Nothing happens when I click "Bookmark This Page".

    Why can't I add bookmarks to Firefox 3.6.6? Nothing happens when I click "Bookmark This Page".

    Just for the record, I was having this problem with older versons of Firefox also. It just happened recently and, with the help of this forum (thanks cor-el) suggesting to open Firefox in safe mode and checking add ons, I found the problem. It was the recent update of Mcafee Site Advisor. If you have Mcafee Site Advisor as an add on, disable it and see if that helps. It worked for me.
    To disable this add on,
    Go to:
    Tools/Add ons/Extensions and click: "disable" for this add on and restart Firefox. Hope it works for you too.
    P.S. To uninstall Site Advisor altogether, you must do that through Windows Add/Remove Programs.

    I have an IMac desk top. Safari icon is down at the bottom, but nothing happens when I click it. How do I open safari? Was working fine earlier.

    You are in the iPad forum.
    Open your Applications folder - find Safari in the applications, and double click on the icon in there. You may have a corrupt alias in the dock at the bottom.

    Nothing happens when I write in a website address! But it works if I go via bookmarks.
    I also got problem with e-ID. The connecton with the ssecurity program does not work. I have both the program and ID-certificate.
    I installed Firefox 10 yesterday.
    I am in a hurry - I am going abroad tomorrow morning.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
