Firefox jumps from monitor to monitor randomly.

I have a dual-monitor setup, running Windows 7, with Firefox 5. This issue has been happening since Firefox 3.6, so I don't know if it's really Firefox or not.
I'll be browsing the web, and if I close a tab, or sometimes while I'm typing, Firefox chooses to randomly change to another monitor. This has happened while I was browsing using only my mouse, so I know it's not some keyboard shortcut, and I don't have this same issue while running Linux. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Check for faulty extensions. In my experience, some webpages will cause Firefox to use up a lot of CPU cycles, but only when some extensions are installed.

  • Firefox jumps from tab group to tab group when tab is closed. Why? It should stay in the same tab group.

    Firefox jumps from tab group to tab group when tab is closed. Why? It should stay in the same tab group.
    Is it bug? In any case it is very inconvenient.

    Ahh. Thanks. That seems like a bit of a hassle though. If I were to create more tabs in the group, would I have to re-bookmark all the tabs?
    I would really love it if I could just pull them in and out of the tab group screen :)
    Thanks for your help!

  • My InDesign windows (UI) keeps jumping from the top to half way down on my second monitor

    It could be since I made the last OS X update – Yosemite 10.10.2
    My windows, as set up in my workspace, now jumps from the top of my monitor to about halfway down, rendering all the windows on the lower half off-screen and useless.
    I'm having to use a spattering of the most used windows, half way down to prevent them jumping.
    I have three monitors and it happens on both the second and third.
    I have a Wacom tablet, but have disconnected this and it doesn't seem to help.
    I have chucked the prefs but it makes no difference.

    (OS update) Thought as much.
    I reset to the default digital workspace then occasionally revert to my
    own. I get away with it for a while. I'm sure the problem will be addressed
    soon.
    The alternative is to make an alternative workspace that occupies on the
    bottom 2/3s of the screen. Not ideal but we make the best of a bad
    situation, don't we?
    I will report it to Apple too.

  • My illustrator files keep on jumping from one monitor to another

    I have two Apple 30" Cinema displays, a 24" Cintiq and an overhead projector.
    My illustrator files keep on jumping from one of the Apple Displays either to the
    Cintiq or the projector even if they are off.
    Also illustrator files may open in any one of them.
    Any suggestions please.
    Thanks,
    Ieuan Rees

    The file should open on the screen with the menu bar, unless the file was opened before and then it will remember the window location.
    Try doing a window >> application frame, and see if that shoiuld force your windows to open in the application frame

  • My Firefox windows keep jumping from one to another

    When I open a new Firefox window, after some time if I have another firefox window (not tab) open, for some reason my computer will jump from one I am currently using to the inactive one, although it still shows it as being inactive unless you click on it.
    Firefox also jumps to Word or other such documents. Again this has only happened since downloading Firefox 12 (after upgrading from a brief period with Firefox 11 as well, where it also happened, but not earlier versions).

    as you've described the issue it sounds more like a general external issue on your os and not related to firefox.
    you might want to do a deep scan for viruses/malware on your system & have a look at this suggestion: [http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windowsxp/ht/stealingfocus02.htm]

  • No sound from monitor

    I have a new mini, runing osx 10.9.2.  Also a new monitor: NECEA234WMi.
    I am not getting sound from built-in monitor speakers.
    With nothing plugged into audio out of mini,  I hear sound from mini.  Sound goes away when audio plug inserted into audio out of mini.
    When I connect other end of audio cable to monitor, there is no sound.
    In OSX preferences sound volume is at max.
    When I plug headset into mini, I get sound.  This suggests problem is in monitor, but I don't understand System Preferences>Sound menu.  It says to select a device for sound output.  The only thing listed is "Headphones".  Clicking on Headphones doesn't do anything.
    Can anyone explain this?
    Thanks,
    Owen

    My mistake.  I plugged into audio out rather than in on monitor.
    However in sys pref I do not see monitor as output device.
    With nothing plugged in audio in of mini Sys Pref>Sound shows Internal speakers.
    When I plug audio cable from monitor into mini Sys Pref>Sound shows Headphones.
    This is probably OK.
    Thanks,
    Owen

  • Big jump from G3 iMac to G5 Dual!

    I'm buying a secondhand (fairly new) G5 Dual to replace my old iMac 400DV (OS 9.2.2).
    I have questions:
    What should I look for in the way of problems, apart from pixel deaths?
    Will I be able to install my 9.2.2 applications?
    Will the G5 be able to read my CD reference originated on the G3?
    Anything I particularly need to know?
    The most pressing question is - how I pay for it?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    If you would kindly reply in a way which is understandable by a technophobe, I would be most grateful!

    I'm buying a secondhand (fairly new) G5 Dual to replace my old iMac 400DV (OS 9.2.2).
    What sort of G5? What's the price? What's the specs of the machine and video card? What are you going to use it for? Want to 3D game or not?
    Some are better than others and the Dual series are about to be obsolete, they are over 3 years old already and most of the rest of the new Mac consumer line are already Intel based Dual core processors.
    What should I look for in the way of problems, apart from pixel deaths?
    Pixel deaths only apply to monitors. But the Dual PowerMac G5 series (not the Quad) suffer from a beeping power supply. Sometimes it can be remedied with installing Tigers' developers tools and Processor Preference pane (turn off Nap Mode)
    Depending upon which PowerMac your getting, depends upon what sort of PCI cards, video cards you can upgrade to.
    Will I be able to install my 9.2.2 applications?
    I still think Tiger will allow the installation of Classic environment which is needed to run Classic applications. The problem of course is the apps OS 9 based installer disks might not run in Classic. Then there is copy protection schemes that might need installation directly from the apps disks, which might not work. Font and printing problems, trouble with connecting scanners and driver software is common with Classic. Most just switch to Mac OS X, it's easier.
    Will the G5 be able to read my CD reference originated on the G3?
    Yes, if you mean files and not a app installation disk of some sort.
    Anything I particularly need to know?
    Yes tons.
    The best way to go to Mac OS X is directly, with all new apps, etc. Bouncing back and forth in Classic while your trying to learn Mac OS X on the same machine is not going to be fun, you won't know what's right or wrong. Use your older Mac for OS 9 until your completely up on the new machine. Use the older Mac for connections to old scanners and whatnot. Is my recommendation.
    Also since your making such a great leap, perhaps you should wait until the Intel processor PowerMacs (Mac Pro's we think it will be called) and Mac OS 10.5 arrives (aka: "leopard") sometime this year.
    This way you jump from a old OS and old processor type to a new OS and a new processor type in one stop. Without wasting money on software or software upgrades.
    Read this link carefully.

    The most pressing question is - how I pay for it?
    Well if you don't have money or credit...
    Your really behind in the times, may I suggest you do some online reading at various Mac websites so you can get up to date with the latest information to make better decisions.

  • Dock sometimes jump from one screen to 2nd other.

    When I am using a second monitor (21" Dell) with my 15" MacBook Pro, why does the dock sometimes (often) jump from the bigger monitor back to the MacBook?  This happens even when System Preferences/Displays/Arrangement indicates that the dock is still on the Dell monitor, but it is not.  In the System Preferences/Displays/Arrangement, I have to 'move' the dock to the MacBook screen and then back to the Dell.  Movement of the dock happens with other monitors too (e.g., Viewsonic).  Thanks for any advice on solving this.

    I get this behaviour for what ever screen the cursor is on.
    But generally only when the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen.

  • My cursor keys will not scroll my Facebook TimeLine, it jumps from top to bottom, works fine in Chrome browser.

    I am using Linux Mint ver. 16, and the Chrome browser works OK with keybd cursor keys in Gmail, Facebook, etc. but when I switch to your FireFox browser, I find the cursor keys are erratic and the up/down keys jump from the top to the bottom of Facebook time line, with no stopping or scrolling. I have tested this on a desktop PC and a laptop PC, and I get the same result, so I know it is not the hardware. So I will just stop using your Firefox browser until I can get a fix.

  • Jumping from line to line

    I'm using the random access file method to read from a file, my question is if there is a way to jump from line to line through the file? Using the fin.read and fin.seek functions, is there I check to see if it has reached the end of the line?
    If it makes a difference, the file has 50 characters on each line with 9 lines

    You can use the method readLine() of the class RandomAccessFile. Otherwise, this could work for ASCII characters (but not for Unicode characters in general).
      RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("Test.txt","r");
        String separator = System.getProperty("line.separator");
            String line=null; int n=0;
             while((n=raf.read())!=-1){
                if(n==(int)separator.charAt(0)) System.out.println();
                System.out.print((char)n);
             }

  • Music jumping from song to song?

    Strange behavior. When I play an album on my iphone 3gs it jumps from one song to another. Sometimes half way or almost all the way played or just anywhere in the song or podcast. Is anyone else experiencing this-never happened with my original iphone?
    Doesn't happen every song and seems random. Mostly happens when I put the iphone in my pocket.

    Now the first thing to check fore if the SHUFFLE is on in the iphone.
    If it is on then go into SETTINGS > IPOD > under MUSIC, you will see *Shake to Shuffle*, Click OFF.
    And give it a try.
    Now if this dose not work you may have to install so 3.1 to solve the problem.
    Cause i did notice that when i had 3.0 I had a similar problem. The song starts half way or when using A2DP audio the song has a delay. What i men is that a when I played a Video on my Iphone 3G s with 3.0 software using my car Bluetooth to transmit there was a significant delay in the audio play back.
    But since i updated to firmware 3.1 that dose not happen any more.
