Firefox completely ignores every scroll line setting in the universe

I'm on Kubuntu 12.04. Many months ago, I found that when I set my OS to scroll one line at a time, this worked for other applications, but not for Firefox. So, I went into about:config and set mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines to false and set the number of lines to 1. This worked until anywhere from a few days to a few weeks ago (it was very hard to notice and I can't remember when I did). Firefox has reverted back to scrolling 3 lines at a time, and nothing in KDE's configuration or about:config is changing that. This problem persists in safe mode.

hello Cadeyrn, the scrolling behaviour has changed in firefox 17 - those old preferences in about:config are now obsolete.
try to make the values of mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_x, mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y & mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_z smaller...

[X300] Mouse Wheel Scroll Lines Setting does not stick

I often use an external mouse (no additional driver needed). After every reboot, the setting "Mouse Wheel Scroll Lines" in Control-Panel -> Mouse -> Wheel is reset to 1 (I am using Vista). This is really annoying because it slows down scrolling extremely.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I think its caused somehow by the ALPS touchpad driver (The X300 has a really bad one, the Synaptics pads built in previous Thinkpads were WAY BETTER).

Have you made any progress? I am having no luck getting the X300 touchpad to scroll with MANY applications: Photoshop, Illustrator, Access to mention some. I use Windows XP - another user has complained that with Vista he does not getting scrolling to work with iTunes, Live Search. Plus, wheel events are not handled by the Remote Desktop, so anytime you are tunneling, you don't get touchpad scrolling. I have been expecting a new UltraNav driver for months - but nothing yet. I think I have tried every combination of touchpad and trackpoint settings possible, but maybe you know something I don't.

I am sorry but the problem you describe is a completely different one. Personally, I don' t care for these few applications, especially iTunes and further rubbish. Fact is, the quality Ultranav2 Driver is much much worse compared to the Ultranav1 which uses a Synaptic touchpad. Responsiveness, accuracy, supported applications, bugs are much worse with the Ultranav2 used in X300.
AFAIK adding applications to support the touchpad needs just adding them to some list in registry or what. But as I said, I never cared for that. The problem that the driver resets mouse settings when using it, I find much more disturbing.

Adobe Reader ignores mouse scroll speed setting

Whenever I load a .PDF file, the mouse scroll wheel setting is ignored and the document scrols 1 line at a time. This is very annoying when trying to read a document, especially is it is a long one.
Is there a way to set the scroll speed in the Reader so that it matches the Windows scroll speed setting?

Can anybody tell me how to set a mouse scroll speed in "chromium" for example? I found an application called "imwheel", and edited ~/.imwheelrc adding
"^chromium$”
None, Up, Button4, 5
None, Down, Button5, 5
but still get an error:
INFO: imwheel started (pid=897)
expected 3 args, got 1, in config.
“^chromium$”
How to make it properly, anyone?
fixed it, just needed to remove "$" sign in “^chromium$” > “^chromium”.
One thing is if imwheel working, you cant increase fonts in chromium with "ctrl + wheel" unfortunately.

Ignoring last 2 lines while reading the file

Hi All,
I have a file structure as mentioned below :

While reading a file , i need to ignore the last 2 lines . How to achieve this using FCC parameters.

Hi,
I am not aware of any parameters in FCC to ignore last lines but work around can be :
You may create one structure to read last 2 lines if depending on file structure and ignore it in mapping (map all records except this structure).

When i start firefox, it automatically does a search for I-play and displays an icon for I-play when firefox completes its loading. I dont want the i-play search to be done, but dont know how to get rid of it.

I downloaded and installed the I-play program from their website, but then decided i didnt want it, and uninstalled it through windows 7 program and features. The I-play search issue began at the same time I installed the program, but didnt go away when i uninstalled the program

To get rid of Bing Search Window..............
Click on View tab / Tools and un-check 'Search' (alias for 'Bing')

Firefox's pdf.js completely ignores PDF document permissions.

Firefox's new JavaScript PDF Viewer pdf.js is really a disaster.
It completely ignores PDF document permissions set by Acrobat Professional and so on.
With Firefox's pdf.js people can freely print any PDF and copy the texts and images.
This was reported as a bug in bugzilla@mozilla but it seems that it is going to be fixed soon.
Bug 792816 - pdf.js doesn't respect document permissions
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792816
Bug 845302 - Firefox 19.0 pdf viewer ignores pdf encryption
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=845302
Does nobody in Adobe voice one's disagreement about this?

This isn't a new issue - most of the third-party PDF reading applications have been ignoring the permissions headers in a PDF for years, and some claim it's perfectly valid for a user to be able to override password-based restrictions on copying/printing under 'fair use'. Adobe disagrees, as do I, but the nature of the PDF document structure means that it's trivial for any application to ignore those restrictions. You certainly don't need the password. Acrobat warns you the first time you use the Protection tools that Adobe always respects the permissions you set even if other vendors choose not to.
As has been said many times; the only way to truly secure the content of a PDF file against printing or copying is to use LiveCycle digital rights management, as that forces the PDF to be opened in Adobe software and nothing else. If you cannot afford LCDRM, you have to accept that your 'secured' PDFs are anything but.

Macbook X 10.6.8. Epson SX218 failed to print every fifth line, but only in MS Office documents. I updated Office. Now that line is slightly blurred as though the printer had missed out a pass.

I am helping a disabled person with a printing problem involving a Macbook, an Epson SX218, and MS Office for Macs. The Macbook had been recently updated to OS X 10.6.8, and the printer driver reinstalled, by an Apple store. She complained the printer failed to print about every fifth line. It turned out there was no problem at all with printing web pages and emails, but only with Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). I updated
Office. Later all lines were printed, but imperfectly with a bit missing from bottom of every fifth line, as though the printer had missed out a pass, so I am not sure the Office update is what made the difference. I am not at all sure whether this problem arises from the Mac or the printer or Office.

It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
If the problem persits, please report back here.

IPhone 5s, every other line in the screen is black

Hello.
I have an iPhone 5s, and without any apparent reason, every other line of about the bottom 8 lines (near the home button) are black. One black and one kind of reflects what other lines are showing more to the middle of the screen.
How can I fix this?
Thanks.

CHeck on this https://www.apple.com/la/ then contact apple support and ask them if there is a nearby apple service center in the area atleast

I just loaded Firefox onto my laptop. I set up the the sync add on and had no errors. When I hit sync now I get "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Firefox sync server maintenance is underway, syncing will resume automatically." I have gotten this message for the last 10 hours. Should I wait or is there an issue with my setup? I checked the Mozilla sync server status and it listed no issues.

There was a server out last week. see below. now everything works great. thanks for the follow up.

What to consider for setting up the iPad for POP mail?

Hi to All,
I would like to write a setup manual for setting up iPad on free web hosting account. I am currently using host1free.com, but I guess it is the same thing for every web hosting (setting up the email). So my questions would be:
1. What steps in iPad I need to follow to setup for POP account.
2. Is any wizard in iPad to setup POP mail account?
Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Ask the company providing you internet juice to get online. If it is Comcast, it typically is smtp.comcast.net or mail.comcast.net. If it is Verizon, it is outgoing.verizon.net. If it is someone else it is some SMTP server that is assigned by the company that you pay your bills to get online with.

Using a new monitor, Mozilla Firefox now has a distracting horizontal line every few lines when scrolling. This doesn't happen with another browser. HELP!

The horizontal, wavering "line" is disruptive when scrolling. What's causing this. Doesn't happen with other browser and I'd like to stay with Mozilla Firefox, if we can resolve this. Thank you.

hi Liza5, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]] or in case there is no new version available at the moment or this doesn't solve the issue, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

Have to always enter security Qs and set to private computer with on line banking. It is FireFox and not my on line banking. What do I do?

Every time I enter my on line banking it asks me all 3 security Qs and I have to reset my computer here at home to private. I called my on line banking and they say it is the Fire Fox security settings. Can you help me not to have the process happen each time I open my on line banking???
Vickie Beson

Where do you need to change those security settings?
Firefox doesn't have such a setting unless you mean [[Private Browsing]] mode.
* Such details are stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
* In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
* Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

How can I stop Firefox from re-setting its internet connection configuration every time I re-open the browser? It should stay at "no proxy" but doesn't.

In the past couple of days, every time I close Firefox 8.0, it re-sets the internet configuration to "manual configuration" -- which generates a "proxy server refusing connections" error message. I have to re-set to "no proxy" every time I re-open the browser. This never happened before yesterday. What can I do to make the "no proxy" setting an automatic default on opening? ISP is Verizon high-speed.

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.

Why does Firefox 18 ignore the specified character encoding for websites?

We are developing a page on our website that will have the page crawled and a newsletter generated and sent out to a mailing list. Many email packages default to character encoding of iso-8859-1 so we have set our character encoding to this on the page via the standard meta tag.
We have a problem on the newsletters that we had until now been unsuccessful to replicate. Though now I know why.... I have just discovered that in Firefox 18, the specified character encoding is being completely ignored. It is rendering the page in UTF-8 even though we specified ISO-8859-1. Firefox 3.6 however, renders the page with the proper encoding (thank god for keeping an old version for testing).
Can anyone explain why the new Firefox is completely ignoring the meta tag? Both browsers are using the factory default (I even opened FF18 in safe mode)...

Thanks for letting me know that Firefox 18 ignores everything but the server headers... but it doesn't help me much. Our website is in UFT-8... but this page is a newsletter, one that is crawled and saved into an email and sent out to a mailing list (by a third party newsletter program) and many email readers use ISO-8859-1 hence why we want to have the page rendered in that encoding so that we can actually test the newsletter properly. We can't test through the third party software as our testing environment is behind a firewall, and you can't change the server headers for a single page... hence the meta tag.
If you explicitly choose to render a page in a specific encoding, that shouldn't be ignored by the browser. It's not a big deal, but now every time we make a code change in our test environment and reload the page we have to force the encoding manually in the browser which is a pain.
The problem is, the newsletter is already live and we have some users complaining because some characters aren't displaying properly in their email packages (Entourage for Mac is one of them), all our testing (which is encoding using UTF-8) looks fine.
