Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac 10.6 I lose the "mouseover" capability after running for a while. Only a REBOOT of the MAC will restore.

After running for a while (hours ? days?) I lose the ability to "mouseover" data on a website and get info. Specifically on Yahoo's
portal page, I can't mouse over a news item and get a summary.
Restarting Firefox, in safe mode or normal mode, does not restore the function. Rebooting the MAC (unheard of !!) restores. What gives ?

See if this works.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit enter.
Filter = '''print.print''' <br />
There are 6 prefs for headers / footers. <br />
'''print.print_header...''' center, left, & right <br />
and <br/>
'''print.print_footer...''' center, left, & right <br />
You can add what you want in the '''''Value''''' column and then Restart Firefox to effect the change. <br />

  • Mac shortcuts (OSX Yosemite) stop working after Edge Animate runs for a while

    When I first open up an Edge animation file all my shortcuts work fine, such as Command-S to save.
    After the software has been running for a while all my OSX shortcuts stop working and I have to copy, paste and save from the File menu instead.
    When I restart the program it all goes back to normal for a short while and then they stop working again.
    Some more info in case it's helpful:
    My current project is based around animating SVG shapes (character animation).
    I'm running Yosemite OSX.
    Adobe Edge 2014.1.1 is the version I'm using
    It crashes consistently but pops up a  'save your work' message first. I'd say at least once a day if I don't restart frequently enough.
    I restart about every hour or so as I'm working.
    My OSX shortcuts work fine in other software such as Photoshop, this is specific to Edge
    My hardware is as follows:
      Model Name: MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier: MacBookPro10,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz
      Number of Processors: 1
      Total Number of Cores: 4
      L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
      L3 Cache: 8 MB
      Memory: 16 GB
    Just putting this up here in case any other Edge users on Mac have noticed anything similar.

    Hi Danny,
    Thanks for writing to us with your concern. We are sorry to know that you are facing problems while using Adobe Edge Animate.
    How often is it happen? Is there any time frame like after 1 hour or 2 hours this issue is occurred?
    Can you please try updating your Mac Book 10.10.3?
    Please share the result.
    Regards,
    Devendra

  • Network disconnects after Mac mini is running for several hours but a reboot fixes it

    i have updated my Mac mini to Yosemite but now it has a networking problem after running for several hours . Trying to open a webpage in Safari or chrome doesn't work, the remote site appears to disconnect.  Mail is not downloaded and email already downloaded has no images when I display them.  Interestingly DNS resolution is working nslookup finds the IP but telnet to a web site on port 80 gets an instant disconnect. 
    THe connection ion is wired into a hub and the ISP connection is fine from the other computers on our home network.
    I am now rather perplexed how to fix this without constantly rebooting the Mac which just goes against the grain.

    Hi loseph94,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that issues with your computer running slowly can be frustrating. In this situation I would recommend reading over and using the information located in the attached article to help troubleshoot the issue.

  • Why do some youtube videos run for a while and then freeze in firefox

    HI i am having a problem with the lasted firefox browser. You see when I go to this website to watch a video witch is through youtubthe video will play for a little bit and then it will freeze but the audio of the video will keep playing but the video will still be frozen. I have went into firefox and I did go into tools and under privacy where it says clear recent history and I did put a check mark into clear catche, cookies, website preferences and push on the continue button. Then I went back to the website and again I did try and watch the youtube video with the same problem as described above. So then I did uninstall Adobe flash player and shockwave player and re downloaded both flash player and shockwave player and reinstalled them again. This changed nothing the youtube video keeps freezing and the audio keeps plays even when the video is frozen in firefox.
    edit: I was wondering can your antivirus cause videos from youtube to freeze.
    Help would be appreciated please.
    some info that might be helpful

    Hello,
    Try these tool that may help solve your problem. Sometimes Video loads slowly depending on your network speed subscription from your network provider.
    The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
    To Refresh Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
    #Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • I am currently using an ipad overseas to put photos to icloud whilst travelling.  If I lose the ipad will i still be able to access the photos given I don´t have another mac device (but could use someone elses)? Thanks

    I am currently using an ipad overseas with the hope that I can backup photos to icloud in case I lose the camera and ipad.  I don´t have another mac device but could use my girlfriends when I get home. Would it be possible to access my photos on her macbook using my icloud?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Assuming you are logged into your iCloud account and have enabled photo stream on your device, then any photos you take on your iPad will be added to photo stream and can be shared to any device that is logged into the same iCloud account.
    If while away, you lose your iPad, then upon your return you would need to log into your iCloud account on your girlfriend's computer and enable photostream, by doing this you would then be able to download all the photos you added to photo stream whilst you were away.

  • Fan running at 6200 while ONLY running Firefox

    Hi, i tried browsing the forum and from what i could find, people were saying high fan speeds were 3500-4000 and with a lot of activity, maybe over 6000. I am only running Firefox right now and my fans are running at 6200 and my main temp is 70C. Does anyone have any recommendations?

    What is your Activity Monitor showing? Firefox averages about 10% CPU power on mine.

  • I-Mac shuts down after sitting for a while, why and how can it be fixed?

    i Mac shuts down when left for a time in sleep mode. Am I missing something or is this supposed to happen?
    It has never happened while anyone is using the computer but that may just be because it often sits over night without use.
    Am using a logitech Wave USB keyboard and mouse because my wife likes it.

    OK reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    4. Release the power button.
    5. Attach the computers power cable.
    6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    and check all of the power connections.
    The iMac's are sensitive to power issues (sag or momentary outage) while in sleep mode. If in the Energy Saver preference "Start up automatically after a power failure" is unchecked (as it should be) then you could/would/should find the iMac off after a power problem.

  • Why is firefox rendering any kind of accent or other character in an odd fashion now naivete for instance can only be rendered without the accents?

    naïveté is rendered naïveté
    power — the spiritual principles is rendered power — the spiritual principles
    There are other instances of this.
    We are concerned especially with the inability of the browser to render accents properly

    Make sure that you have selected Unicode.
    *Firefox > Web Developer > Character Encoding > Unicode
    *View > Character Encoding > Unicode

  • Firefox hogs resources and brings Mac to a crawl after a while

    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, latest updates. FireFox 6.0.2. After running for a while, the number of threads, amount of RAM taken up are huge. The system comes to a crawl, and I have to Force Quit (Firefox is not responding). This may be after a day of use. Are others experiencing these issues? Have any suggestions?
    I have the following plug-ins:
    Add-On Compatibility Reporter 0.9
    DownThemAll 2.0.7
    GMarks 1.0.3.3

    I have 2 gigs of RAM. Keep in mind I have used Studio 1 and 2 on this computer with great success (at 1 gig of ram!), and had little to no problems with Studio 3 (at 2 gigs of ram) until I installed Snow Leopard.
    I also did the clean install because I personally don't like the idea of running an upgrade on either an OS or a FCS update. Past experience has taught me this. I've been using FCP since 2000 (version 1.25).
    Motion was great before SL - version 4 was 30x more stable than 3. But I haven't played with it since updating, so I can't speak of that. Only FCP7. I have never seen FCP take 30 minutes to export a 30 minute DV timeline. Not since FCP3 (if even then!). It just slows the computer down to molasses speeds. I can usually run an app like Safari or even Photoshop in the background when I'm exporting, but no longer. I get lovely pinwheels of death and major slow-down (to the point that computer is non-functional and almost ready to crash). So yeah, it's just super slow, until I quit Final Cut. Then the speed comes right back.
    I've also encountered this on my nVidia MacBook.....

  • Attempting to do private browsing session froze Firefox, then won't restore one of the 2 windows I had open (with multiple tabs in each). Only 1 window is able to be restored now.

    I had 2 windows open in Firefox. Each had multiple tabs open in each window. I then attempted to do private browsing session, but then a pop-up box appeared asking me something about a script (related to private browsing). This froze Firefox. So I had to close Firefox using ctrl-alt-del. I tried to re-open Firefox, but only one of the windows will restore now (with the tabs that were previously open). I clicked on "History" in the menu bar and the "Recently Closed Windows" phrase is grayed out. Is there a way to go about restoring this window? I considered doing a restore to 3 days ago in my History tab, but I am worried that this will erase all the bookmarks I've made in the past 3 days. I've also considered going manually into history and trying to forage through each, but many of these tabs have been open for about a 3-4 weeks now as I've been keeping them all open for research. So they would be buried under hundreds-thousands of other pages. (I've done a lot of browsing). Should I just call it a loss? I appreciate any help.

    I removed add-on BetterPrivacy. No problems since then anymore.

  • Will restoring a mac iPod lose the songs?

    I have a iPod nano and my macbook is not working but I wanted to add some songs on it but the only computer i have access to is a windows. when i connect my ipod to it (to charge it) it says I need to restore the settings. will restoring it delete the songs I have on it currently?

    It will indeed delete all the songs, and the PC won't recognize your Mac-formatted iPod unless you use something like MacDrive (http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/)

  • After updating to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4 there is no longer an "Bookmarks Organize Bookmarks" option. Did it move?

    I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4. When I go to the "Bookmarks" drop down menu, there is no "Organize Bookmarks" command. How do I do the operations that were under that command such as add new folders, move bookmarks, export bookmarks, etc.?

    "Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.
