Firefox flashes - going in and out of full screen hundreds of times a second

My computer at home has a strange problem. When I type in the google search box or in a field on a web page, it has a habit of going in and out of full screen mode several times a second. I have to press escape to stop it and when I do so its luck of the draw whether its in full screen or not.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since I installed 3.6.3

Hi. Can someone help me with this as I will have to install something else if I can't sort it out and FF is by far my favourite browser.

  • How do I get out of "full screen" view. When I put my crusor at the top of the screen I get SOME menus showing, but nothe the "firefox" drop-down where I selected full screed (I was just trying to zoom out, actually)

    I think the question pretty well summed it up. I selected full screen mode from the "firefox" drop-down box at the top left, but once in full screen mode, the drop-down box is not available. How do I get back to the standard view??

    Press the F11 key to toggle into and out of full screen mode.
    Or, move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen and right-click the "+" (new tab) button, or in a blank area of the tab bar, or in a blank area after the address box, and exit full screen mode from the context menu.

  • How do I get out of full screen mode?

    How do I get out of full-screen mode? This happened after installing Lion.

    Shift-command-F should get you in and out of full-screen.

  • How do I get out of "full screen" view?

    How do I get iTunes out of the "full screen" view?

    The "full screen" button that was on the left in Mavericks has been removed and is now the green dot (or rightmost of the three) on the left side of application windows now.
    If you prefer shortcuts you can also use control+command+f to move in and out of full screen mode, assuming the app(s) you are using support full screen.

  • Flash does not work correctly in full screen after most recent Firefox update

    == Issue
    ==
    Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
    == Description
    ==
    Yesterday, firefox updated itself automatically. The "what's new" screen suggested that I update Flash immediately, so I did. I had a little trouble. I eventually uninstalled Flash and re-installed with the latest version, but it is now up to date. Now flash videos will not play properly in full screen. The picture will freeze for a few seconds with the audio still playing, the screen will go blank, then the video will restart from where the audio was when the screen went blank. Sometimes Flash will crash completely and I will have to reload the page to restart the video, even not full screen. Other times I get an error message that my video driver stopped working. I have checked and my video driver is up to date.

    I updated to 3.6.4 and when I went to NetFlix to watch the next show of a series, it said
    something like
    Installation complete, restart your browser.
    I restarted browser, same problem. Restarted comp. Same problem.
    I updated Adobe Flash 10.1, still same problem.
    But able to watch some vids on other sites, but full screen gave me the big blank white screen with audio only, had to click around in the dark ( so to speak) to find the minimize button.
    I did a System Restore to before the Firefox and Adobe updates.
    I then did not update Firefox as recommended and went to NetFlix and wellah, i can view the movies again.
    And Full Screen is fine.
    I then experimented and updated Firefox only, went to NetFlix and got same msg with no viewable shows.
    So did a System Restore once more.
    Staying at 3.6.3 for a while longer until I know I can watch my movies.
    I don't own a TV, so this is my only form of an occasional escape.
    I do hope this is figured out soon.
    With what I have done, it seems to be Firefox, Not Flash.
    Good Luck to us all.

  • My IPOD classic headport is not working properly.  The sound is going in and out?

    My ipod classic headport is not working properly.  The sound keeps going in and out.  I have tried changing headphones and checking the settings.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Do a Hard Reset
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    If the sound is still the same, but ok, coming from the bottom Dock connector, then try cleaning the headport, using a jet of air or some electronic cleaner.

  • How to get out of full screen mode in Firefox

    Have tried to get out of full screen mode by pressing F11 and f11 and esc but nothing works.  any suggestions?

    Shift-CMD-F toggles full screen off and on in Fx. Also, if you've put the Full Screen icon in the Firefox Toolbar, bring the mouse cursor up to the top of the screen. This will reveal the toolbar and you can click on the icon to return to normal.
    Get the icon from View>Toolbars>Customize. Drag it into the Toolbar somewhere.

  • I know I've heard that iPads/iPhones can't get viruses but is it possible that they can? While using my iPad, it keeps going in and out of apps. On Facebook, status and profiles keep getting clicked and it keeps zooming in and out. Can anyone help

    I Have an iPad mini, iOS 8.1. When I'm on my iPad, it keeps going in and out of random apps. Going to settings is the worse. As soon as I click settings and it opens,it starts clicking different things and tries turning on and off settings! In Facebook, profiles and status get clicked. The screen zooms in and out multiple times. It reminds me of when you call the help desk for a computer or a computer at work and they gain access and move around clicking and you're doing nothing. Basically things are being clicked and I'm not doing it.....can anyone help?

    At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.
    Here are the links, and the last one pertains to the reset to factory default condition ...

  • I had 50/25 internet installed yesterday, and has been going in and out since. What's wrong?

    Just to clarify, when I say going in and out, I never lose either "internet light" on my modem or on my computer. It stays connected but the speeds drop to basically zero and I cannot open anything. It seems to only happen when I have more than one internet page open at a time. For example, if I have a YouTube video playing and try to open Google, the video will stop loading and Google wont load whatsoever. This little outage lasts about a minute then both pages will reload. Until it happens less than 5 minutes later and I can't open anything again. 
    Is this a bandwidth problem? I have done speedtest multiple times and it's a hit or miss. When the internet is working I get a perfect run, but if not I'd be lucky to get past the ping test. I know **bleep** well 50/25 is more than enough to open youtube and google. Here is my latest speedtest. Like I said, it's hit or miss, I could go open another page then this wouldn't make it past ping.
    EDIT: On the log, the most notable message I see is 
    Aug 31 09:29:45 2013
    System Log
    Failed GUI Authentication
    Failed Login for GUI access

    The problem persists... what does the above log mean? Any help at all would be great.
    It could be an upload problem since I just did a good download test on speedtest but the upload would not connect.
    Did you run the optimizer?

  • Last Wednesday my iPhone 4 shut down automatically and it wouldn't let me reboot for about a half an hour. It finally rebooted and then it started with the batterty drainage and no service, going in and out of service. What's wrong?

    Hi everyone... Last Wednesday my iPhone 4 shut down automatically... I had battery. It took about a half an hour to reboot it. After that I started having trouble with going in and out of service and battery drainage. I do have that update 5 ios... or whatever its called... but I did that about 2-3 months ago and had no problems. I called Apple and they wouldn't do a **** thing for me. I called AT&T and they reset the network... didn't work. I did a hard shut down and didn't work. Now today, every call I had was dropped. So of course this morning when I woke up at like 8:30 am by 10:30 am my battery went from 100% to 35%. ***. Can someone help me???

  • Why is my iPad 2 volume going in and out? Sometimes it says sound effects and the squares on the volume aren't coming up. I've tried everything.

    Why isn't my IPad 2 volume going In and out? Sometimes the volume squares won't come up and when I have headphones in it doesn't work the volume will work for 1 second amd then boom it's gone again! I've tried updating, restarting, and the mute bottom isn't on I've tried everything, but nothing is working. Can someone please help thank you.

    I have the same issue that the international keyboard (globe icon) is not accessible once I updated to ios 7.  I am attempting the restore from iTunes, but receive:
    "Find My iPhone must be turned off before “xxxxx iPhone 4S” can be restored." 
    Of course, I am unable to access this setting on the iPhone.  From my Mac I entered iCloud and tried changing setttings and erasing the phone from the Find My iPhone there, but it did not turn the feature off on the phone.
    Any suggestions? 

  • Connect from Windows through screen sharing (VNC) and get out of full screen mode

    How do you get out of fullscreen mode?
    I connect to a OS X Lion computer through a Windows computer (which actually also is remote).
    I use TightVNC software on Windows to connect. It's the only VNC software I am able to connect to OS X Lion with. TightVNC is kind of weak otherwise in the way that it does not have features for OS X targets - like you can't send "command" key pushes, or even Ctrl pushes and other F2 etc keys just don't really work.
    Which means I cannot exit full screened apps by way of Command-F or similar. Moving the mouse cursor to the top of the screen also does not pop down the menu (although on some occasions I have been able to do this, I'm not sure how and it's terribly hard to reproduce).
    I'd need a on-screen way (like a button to click) to get out of full screen mode.
    Any ideas???

    Are you using TightVNC because you found it was the only VNC client that worked well with Mac OS X built-in VNC server?  Or is there another reason?
    Vine Server (aka OSXvnc - free to use the server)
    <http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11283/vine-server-%26-viewer>
    plays nicer with 3rd party VNC clients, so that you could try any number of other WIndows VNC clients.  Maybe one of those will do a better job of sending Command/Control/Option keys.
    But if you do install Vine server make sure you turn off Mac OS X Screen Sharing (and/or Remote Managment) so that you do not conflict with port 5900.  Or via Vine Server configs, tell Vine Server to use a different port number, such as 5901, then make sure you connect to the correct port from your Windows client.

  • My ipod touch 4 jack goes in and out. what can i do?

    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
