Firefox keeps "dinging." Every few seconds, it makes two short, rapid "ding" sounds. WHY??

There really aren't any more details. I'm new to FF and I have no idea why it keeps making this sound. Please help.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Firefox takes time loading and keeps stopping every few seconds, but only in the last week

I have had updates for Windows and wonder if there is a clash between the two. I also seem to be getting more errors thn I ever had. I have tried uninstalling FF and reinstalling it and the results are still the same. It is damm annoying to have had such a great website that just seems to have malfunctioned overnight 25 April seems to have been the date, anything changed at your end

hey try a smc reset
EDIT (smc reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.)
if that doesnt help look at replacing the batteries in your magic mouse and try it then
if the issue still presists take it into a apple store and they can test it there to see whats up

Why does browser keep refreshing every few seconds. I keep getting kicked of of sites that require log in because my browser refreshes and sends me back to log in page.

I use the same plug-ins i always have, with the exception of faster fox. I got the plug in off of c-net. The first thing I did was disable that plug in. I do remember at one point i used to have a plug in that allowed you to set the refresh intervals. I don't remember which is was though as I got rid of it a long time ago. I have checked every option I can think of to no avail..please help.

If you have an infected system, Firefox will get infected no matter how many times you reset it. Refer to a specialized forum to clear the malware from your system.

If you haven't disabled the malware and phishing protection features, and you have a good and up-to-date anti-virus, then visiting web sites shouldn't be an issue. Installing questionable software on the other hand allows malware to do anything on your system.

Hi hbradders
Your crash report shows a problem with the Flash plugin.
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting

Firefox keeps crashing every few minutes. I will paste a small section of the crash reports in the details section.

hello, unfortunately this seems to be a crash that is appearing in firefox 19 on windows 8 with AMD Radeon HD 6XXX/7XXX graphics cards - developers are investigating the causes of it...
the best option probably is to downgrade to the to the former version at the moment until this gets sorted out: [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/18.0.2/win32/
the auto-update in firefox 18 for the affected systems is now disabled and will be turned back on when a fix is available.

Why does my wifi connection keep dropping every few seconds

my new mac air is only a week old - it was working perfectly til yesterday now it won't hold a wireless connection. won't even hold with an ethernet connection to mobile phone.

I regret to learn of the issues, funeralguy77! Lets figure it out together. Can you try to connect another device to the same WiFi connection. Does it connect? Have you tried to delete/forget the connection and trying again?
Please share additional details so that we can help!
Thank you,

Small clock that appears every few seconds

To prevent freezing or lagging/slow response on any BlackBerry, the most important practice you can adopt is to be sure to CLOSE applications when you are finished using them.
If you just hit the red "end call" key to go back to the home screen the application actually stays open and running in the background. If you do this repeatedly you will have lots of apps open and consequently your memory will get used up. Lack of memory is the biggest reason your BlackBerry slows to a crawl or locks up. If you get into the habit of actually using the menu key to close the applications this will at least slow down this memory-clogging process. You still may have to do a battery pull or use the "Quickpull" app once in a while when things get slow.
To check what applications are running on your device in the background, press the Menu key then choose Switch Applications. You will see the icons of each application there.
So now, check your applications running in the background. There are commonly four or five applications that will always be running (Messages, Call Logs/Phone, BlackBerry Messenger, Homescreen, and the Browser; there are other third party applications such as BeeJive, and BlackBerry Alerts which will also run in the background which you cannot close if you want them to operate). Make certain that the browser is NOT on an active webpage (open the browser and choose Menu > Close). Close any other applications that do not need to be running (the camera or a game you were playing or Google Maps).

Wifi is going on & off every few seconds, how to repair this?

I took my MacPro Mid 2009 model running Lion Safari 6.0.2 to the Apple Store Thursday of last week to the Apple Store located in Tampa @ the Interconential Mall, left it overnight with an Apple Genius Technician & picked it up the following evening. My Wifi upon arriving home was on the top of the list as the APPLE Location, I last used my computer. I changed that & dragged my Wifi from home to the top. I did this becasue my Wifi is turning off every few seconds, which makes downloading & surfing the web a big pain! What can I do to keep the wifi to stay on? My Mac everytime I open it, occasionally makes a sound like a disc is in it and there isn't one. I know there is no way they could hear it at the Apple store due to the noise & so many people there.
I had a technician come to my home to check out what my internet speed was, he corrected that he said & told me I needed a Time Capsule to connect to my router. If I am not correct, please correct me but doesn't a Time Machine work as a router & a backup?

Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your iPhone number is listed in there, select it and unselect your email address to use for Messages. If your phone number disappeared or never was in there, you will probably have to turn off/sign out of Messages on your iPhone and on your iPad and then start all over again by signing into Messages on the phone first, then on the iPad. Your phone number should be available to use for Messages in the setting that I described after that.

Nano quits every few seconds

Why does my nano all of a sudden keep quitting every few seconds? The battery is charged.

Is this your problem?

MPEG4 / Stops playing every few seconds.

Hi Folks,
I got QT Pro 7.3 installed on iMac G4 700Mhz. Every time when I am playing mpeg4 files movie doesn’t play smoothly. It keeps stopping every few seconds until end of the movie itself. Its look like is only mpeg4 behaving like that. However I got two other Macs at home (iMac G5 1.8 GHz and Powerbook G4 1Ghz) and those files playing in perfectly good manner.
Before posting my problem I have been doing some research on apple discussion pages related to exactly the same problem. I have found few topics but I don’t know if they are describing the same situation. Someone said its something to do with hardware and nothing can be done. Perhaps too slow processor but my friend has got emac with the same specifications where files are played without problems. Anyway I will be very much appreciated for any advise.
Thank you
Peter
Powerbook G4 12, iMac G5 20 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I tried a few more things and, like others, running the QT 7.0.1 reinstaller ( http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime701reinstallerforquicktime703.ht ml ) fixed the issue. iTunes complains, which probably means I cannot buy videos and shows on the store, but that is not a big issue right now.
As you say, guess we have to wait for QT 7.0.4.
