Firefox Looses focus

Hello
I upgraded to 4.0 as I had this problem in the previous version.
When browsing Firefox will not allow any click on links in a web page, and sometimes blocks all access to all Firefox menus and Tabs.
This happens very frequently and requires me to focus on another window and then back to Firefox. The only cure is to restart my PC, this cures the problem for a little while but it always comes back within a day or two.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Firefox looses focus - titlebar at top goes grey - if a new website is visited.

    If, say, the URL of a web site is put in the address bar and Firefox opens it in a new tab in the normal way then the firefox window looses focus, the window's bar at the top greys out. I have to click the page to restore focus.
    This has a much greater irritation value than it may sound.
    Same thing with clicking a website from, say, google.

  • Find feature looses focus while typing a phrase, after typing the first space character.

    The find feature now looses focus while I am entering a phrase. After entering the first word of a phrase and the space character, the find box will reposition itself to a possible result on the web page on EVERY CHARACTER and I have to reposition the cursor BACK to the find box to enter every subsequent character in the phrase I am searching for. Is there a way I can turn this useless (for me) *feature* off?
    I used to be able to key the phrase I was looking for, and the box would turn red as I typed if the phrase did not exist. I would really appreciate being able to do this again. It now seems that Firefox 'jumps the gun' to find the phrase before I have completed typing it in.
    Thanks.

    *If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
    *Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

  • Window looses focus seemingly at random

    This is very frustrating.  Whenever I am working in any application, the active window auto-magically looses focus.  I don't have a lot running by way of background processes and the computer is fairly new and running all latest software.  I can't figure out why.  Hoping someone from the Apple community can help out...

    ... I don't have a lot running by way of background processes
    There are many background processes running on that Mac. The following will determine its peformance without several that are likely to be causing the problem.
    Please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • CS4 Exporting media Loosing Focus

    Hi
    When exporting media to the media encoder I am finding that I am loosing focus of the rendered file in flash.
    the original size of footage is 1920 X 1080 I have croped this to an area of the footage that I require 720 x 640 and changed the out put size to the same.
    when this is rendered out the image is blury.
    how can I change the settings to be in focus as the original footage is in focus.
    Thanks
    Rodney

    Hi Hunt
    the flash settings that I am using are
    using flash 8 and higher
    I am encoding using the alpha channel due to the footage is keyed out
    the frame rate is 1200
    I have resized to 640 x 720 from 1920 x 1080 and also croped the footage as well to the same size
    Thanks
    Rodney

  • How a custom control is advised it gains or looses focus?

    Hey, at least I have a question to ask, instead of answering them... :-)
    Actually, I already asked it in another thread, in one of my answers: [onMouseClicked Event Is Failing To Fire|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5391008] but I fear it is lost in a rather lengthly message, so I ask it in its own thread, because I was to bring the attention of knowledgeable people (hello Sun people! :-D).
    The question is simple: In a custom control in JavaFX 1.2, with skin and behavior, how a control is advised when it gains or looses focus?
    The purpose is to let the skin to change the look of the component upon these events, like it is done for standard controls (eg. putting a border around the focused control).
    If the control is clicked, you know (unless it is disabled) that it will have the focus. But I see no way to see the lost of focus, nor when we gain (or loose) it with Tab/Shift+Tab (if it has focusTraversable to true).
    I looked for onFocus() and onBlur() events (or similar), but found nothing. No mixin, nothing related in javafx.scene.input.TextInput and friends, etc.
    I explored the Web but since 1.2 is still new, I found not much information. Only a fragment of source code in [Re: Further location optimizations|http://markmail.org/message/gsevtlkeq45rrdun] where I see scene.getFocusOwner() but this one isn't easily usable because it is package protected (and it is not an event, anyway).
    A possible solution would be to have a timer to inspect the state focused of the nodes, but it is so kludgy I didn't even tried to implement it!
    I hope I just missed the information... If there is no easy/official/working way in 1.2, I hope this will be corrected for next version!

    That's a very good remark, handling of focus highlight shouldn't be done at control (model)'s level. I hesitated to put it in behavior, but it feels more natural in the skin, so I did as you suggested.
    you'll need an interface, and JavaFX does not do thatYou have mixins. But I didn't used them here.
    focused variable never is set to trueHave you included the
    public override var focusTraversable = true;
    line?
    To support multiple skins, my control becomes:
    public class StyledControl extends Control
      // Data related to the control (the model)
      public var count: Integer;
      public override var focusTraversable = true;
      init
        if (skin == null)  // Not defined in instance
          // Define a default styler
          skin = ControlStyler {}
      package function Incr(): Void
        if (count < 9)
          count++;
    }quite bare bones (I intendedly keep the model simple).
    Note I still define a default skin in case user doesn't provide it: they shouldn't care about this detail unless they want to change it.
    I defined an abstract default skin, implementing most variables (particularly the public ones that can be styled) and the focus change:
    public abstract class DefaultControlStyler extends Skin
      //-- Skinable properties
      public var size: Number = 20;
      public var fill: Color = Color.GRAY;
      public var textFill: Color = Color.BLACK;
      public var focusFill: Color = Color.BLUE;
      package var mainPart: Node; // Decorations (id, focus) are kept out of layout
      package var focusHighlight: Node;
      package var idDisplay: Text;
      package var valueDisplay: Text;
      init
        behavior = ControlBehavior { info: bind control.id }
        node = Group
          //-- Behavior: call controller for actions
          onMouseReleased: function (evt: MouseEvent): Void
            (behavior as ControlBehavior).HandleClick(evt);
      postinit
        // Once defined by the sub-class, insert into the node
        insert [ mainPart, idDisplay, valueDisplay ] into (node as Group).content;
      public abstract function ShowIncrement(): Void;
      var hasFocus = bind control.focused on replace
        if (hasFocus)
          ShowFocus();
        else
          HideFocus();
      // Default handling of  focus display, can be overriden if needed
      public function ShowFocus(): Void
        insert focusHighlight into (node as Group).content;
      public function HideFocus(): Void
        delete focusHighlight from (node as Group).content;
      public override function contains(localX: Number, localY: Number): Boolean
        return mainPart.contains(localX, localY);
      public override function intersects(localX: Number, localY: Number,
          localWidth: Number, localHeight: Number): Boolean
        return mainPart.intersects(localX, localY, localWidth, localHeight);
    }and the concrete skins implement the mainPart, idDisplay, valueDisplay, focusHighlight nodes, override ShowIncrement with an animation, override getPrefWidth and getPrefHeight to set to mainPart size and might override ShowFocus or HideFocus (if we want it behind mainPart for example).
    The behavior is:
    public class ControlBehavior extends Behavior
      public var info: String; // Only for debug information...
      // Convenience vars, to avoid casting each time
      var control = bind skin.control as StyledControl;
      var csSkin = bind skin as DefaultControlStyler;
      public override function callActionForEvent(evt: KeyEvent)
        println("{info}{control.count}: KeyEvent: {evt}");
        if (evt.char == '+')
          Incr();
      package function HandleClick(evt: MouseEvent): Void
        control.requestFocus();
        Incr();
      function Incr(): Void
        control.Incr();
        println("{info}: Ouch! -> {control.count}");
        csSkin.ShowIncrement();
    }and knows only the abstract default skin (to apply feedback of user input to skin).
    I use it as follow:
    Stage
      title: "Test Styling Controls"
      scene: Scene
        width:  500
        height: 500
        content:
          HBox
            translateX: 50
            translateY: 100
            spacing: 50
            content:
              StyledControl { id: "Bar" },
              StyledControl { /* No id */ layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { vpos: VPos.BOTTOM } },
              StyledControl { id: "Foo" },
              StyledControl { id: "Gah" },
              StyledControl { id: "Bu", skin: AltCtrlStyler {} },
        stylesheets: "{__DIR__}../controlStyle.css"
    }BTW, I tried layoutY: 50 in place of the layoutInfo definition, but the control remained at default place. Am I reading incorrectly the ref. or is this a bug?

  • How to force a jtable to loose focus

    hi all
    i've got a jTextArea and a Jtable, and i want my jTable to loose focus when my JTextArea gains it
    i've the metod jTextAreaFocusGained(); what shall i write inside it to make the table loose focus?
    thanx
    sandro

    Hi,
    I guess, there is a missunderstanding in that, what you want to do and that, what you say, you want.
    The focus is a unique thing - only one component can have the focus at one time - so, when your textfield has gained focus, the component that formerly has had the focus, lost it already - so, there is nothing else to do.
    I guess, you want another thing, perhaps to clear the selection of the JTable or something like this.
    greetings Marsian

  • Closing when loosing focus

    Hope you can help me.

    JFrame frame1 = new JFrame("Frame1");
    frame.addFocusListener(this);

  • Safari looses focus randomly

    when i use safari 7.0.4 in mavericks 10.9.3 on rMBP the window turns light gray (loosing focus) at random times. i click on the window and it comes right back up. i have no extensions turned on and removed the ones i did have as a troubleshooting step, did not fix issue. is anyone else having this issue? this only happens in safari, all other applications are not effected by this. this is an annoying issue but liveable. hopefully it will be fixed one day.

    Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".

  • ADF AutoSubmit True column Loosing Focus after hitting Tab

    Hi,
    I am on 11.1.2.2.0. I have implemented af:table component and inside table on few columns I have autoSubmit="true" immediate="true" . After entering values into those columns when I hit Tab (To go to next field in table) , it goes to next field and looses focus. Is there any work around or fix to overcome this issue ?
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    Thanks for the links. My requirement is to set focus inside af:table. Inside table I have say 5 fields.
    3rd Field is LOV and 4th fields is Text. After entering LOV info in Field3 focus should go to field4(which is inputText).

  • My windows keeps loosing focus when bluetooth goes active

    Hi, I have a problem with my bluetooth.
    When my bluetooth on my laptop goes active i.e. the "bluetooth B" in the bluetooth icon on the botton tray in Windows goes from white to green this problem accours. At that very moment, the current window I am working in goes inactive. If I am typing in a textbox for example and the bluetooth goes from "white to green", the textbox looses focus and I have to cklick it to resume my typing.
    How dow get rid of that problem and still have a reachable bluetooth device?
    Running on Windows XP Pro, laptop:
    Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshibe
    Version v4.42 (D)
    Bluetooth spec:
    Version 2.0, 1.2, 1.1
    Thanks!
    //Doman

    That could be the solution... but no luck..
    Now, I´m running with stack: v6.01.03(D)
    ...and the problem is still there.
    *More background:*
    I am using a SonyEricsson sync program, every morning I connect my mobile via this program. The program is set to autosync the first thing when it detecs the mobile via bluetooth. The laptop stays often in the it´s dock and when I leave it (with the mobile in my pocket) and come back, they find eachother again and the sync starts. This way I never need to start the sync by myself which I always forget otherwhise.
    The problem is that my computer sometimes checks if my mobile is still there (I suspect), and each time it starts to use the internal bluetooth device, the focus of current window I´m using is lost, this is of course very annoing when I´m writing something etc. This occurs regardless of the result of the search, ie regardless of it finds the phone or not.
    Is there any workaround without losing that my phone autoconnects with my computer and the sync starts?

  • Why does Firefox switch focus to an immediately adjacent tab (in a series of tabs) on middle-clicking a link instead of staying on the same tab? (with setting of NOT switching to new tab).

    I have usually 4 tabs open by default. If, for example, I'm in the first tab and middle-click a link to open a new tab, the tab opens but firefox focuses on the tab immediately adjacent to the tab I'm on (in this case, from tab 1 to tab 2 instead of staying on tab 1 whilst tab 5 is loading). The pattern repeats if I'm on tab x and open a new tab from tab x, but focus shifts to tab (x+1) instead of staying on tab x.
    It happens more often than not, i.e. it sometimes stops but usually happens.
    I have this setup for a year now and this is the first time this is happening. I believe since this latest update of 3.6.13.

    This issue can be caused by an extension or plugin that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Loosing focus when quiting

    Hello,
    Can someone help me with the following problem? How can I force a JTextField to loose it's focus when I am quiting the program by clicking the x-icon?
    thanks
    Stef

    Hello.
    Add a mouse listener to your x-icon and in the mouse released method add this block
    component.requestFocus();
    which component can be any swing component like Jframe.

  • Firefox looses tabs on crash or End Task

    Since upgrading to FF 12 I now regularly loose my tabs. When FF exits via an End Task from Task Manager or a system crash, it seems to loose the tabs. On restart of FF it coems up with the "Well this is embarrassing ..." but the list of restore windows/tabs is completely blank !
    This is a complete nightmare, as I have lost months of saved up tabs and research. Please can someone help, otherwise this will be the final straw with FF which I've used since inception !

    Same problem here. Since version 12 Firefox has problems with Flash(on Windows, on Linux works great), you close all youtube tabs and it still plays in the background, if you close Firefox all ends. But this time, I tried to close Firefox, it imitated closing but it was still playing in the background even if I closed in it the youtube tabs, so, I checked the Task Manager's processes list and saw there firefox.exe sitting and not releasing the memory to close. I closed it manually and when I tried to reopen I lost all my tabs. Taking my 4 MB sessionstore.bak and replacing sessionstore.js doesn't work either because when I run Firefox it replaces this file with a sessionstore.js that weights about 700 Bytes and in Firefox I have only the "about:home" page. Trying to open the "about:sessionrestore" page doesn't show anything either...
    I found this site: http://dag.wieers.com/blog/what-if-firefox-loses-your-tabs and in the comments this Python script: http://jacaranda.org/firefox/fixstore.py but it doesn't work for me with Python 3.2. I think that Firefox should have by default something like that.

  • Loosing focus, any suggestions????

    I am running a signed applet , which has Internal Frame having Menus, One of the menu item is having Ctrl-P as hot key for bringing up the customized print dialog box. On pressing "OK" on this print dialog box two things happen
    another browser window pops up for the user to show print preview.
    windows print dialog box comes up
    If a say cancel on this windows print dialog box and close the print preview browser window, ideally my focus should be back to my applet window, so that I can use hot keys again, but on Win 2000, I am loosing the focus somewhere. I am using java 1_3_1 plugin. It works fine on Sun.
    Any suggestions???????

    hi,
    maybe this will work.
    First you need a reference (JS) to your applet in the first browser window like this:
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <SCRIPT>
    var myapplet = null;
    function setFocus ()
    myapplet.requestFocus ();
    </SCRIPT>
    <BODY ... onload="init();" ...>
    <applet ... name="AppletClassName">
    </applet>
    <SCRIPT>
    function init ()
    myapplet= document.AppletClassName;
    </SCRIPT>
    Secondly, in the browserwindow that was popuped up by the first window:
    <BODY ... onUnload="parent.setFocus ();" ...>
    There are 2 things you may need to experiment with a little:
    1. document.AppletClassName may have to be this.document.A ...
    2. parent.setFocus (): I'm not sure about the parent bit but I think it's correct
