Firefox Not Scrolling Page Divisions Correctly

I am working on the css, xhtml, and xml of a store front hosted by another company. We allowed to change certain things in the xhtml, css, and xml to customize out store. We can only use CSS 2 and no javascript or embedding is allowed.
I've designed a vertical scrollable division that contains a series of images that act as links to other pages. In Firefox 3.6.24 when I press down on the vertical scrollbar and move it up or down the content correctly moves up and down, but the mouse stays where I intially pressed down with the mouse and only after I lift up on the mouse does it then jerk to its new position to match the content.
I've played with the preferences of Firefox and also have played with the CSS and XHMTL. On occasion I've also notices this on other internal divisions on other web pages so I am thinking it s Fireffox and not my design. This does not Safari.
Should anything in the about:config be changed?

Are you referring to elements added by the iWeb scripts regarding the circles?
Can you add a screen to clarify what you mean?
"Clear the Cache": Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"<br />
"Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"<br />
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Why does Firefox not scroll the page when selecting & the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen

When selecting text on a screen page, when the cursor reached the bottom edge of the screen Firefox (9.0.1) does not scroll. Other programs (including IE) do so, so it does not appear to be a local computer problem.
I cannot see a setting on the options page that enables/disables this so what is the solution?

Enable the Add-ons bar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars; Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F) to make Firefox scroll the page while selecting text.

Why does my mouse wheel not scroll pages vertically

I have a Logitech M310 mouse. Since version 20 of Firefox, I find that after I open a webpage, my mouse will scroll the page vertically, but after a time period (usually +/- 10 minutes)< the mouse will not scroll the webpage at all.
I have tried disabling all my plug-ins and extensions, turning off hardware acceleration, changing the mousewheel.enable_pixel_scrolling variable to false and generally every other "solution" I can find on the web.
I have changed the mouse, tried the same version of Firefox an another computer and still cannot find the answer. Can anyone please help?
Windows 7 Home Edition on a Dell Inspiron N5110.
Many thanks.

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar.
Type '''mousewheel.enable_pixel_scrolling'''. Its current value is '''False'''

Why does this MagicMouse not scroll pages?

I have a new iMac purchased today. It has the MagicMouse and for some reason that is not working properly.
When I swipe my finger over the mouse (up or down) the web page or application window does not scroll. I have to move the mouse over to the scroll bar, grab it and scroll that way.
Can someone tell me what might be wrong with this?

Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Mouse options... button > Check scrolling.

Firefox does not display page information correctly

On the form on http://ppbm5.com/submission.html select a raid level of Raid 0 for the OS disk and select the Number of OS disk next. The only choices you see are 3, 4, 5 and 6. The same applies to the project disk question and the output disk question.
Using Chrome or Internet Explorer the number of disks shown to choose from are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Firefox hides or forgets the option for 2 disks.
The form used shows up correctly in the Form Maker site, it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver, it shows up correctly in both Chrome and Internet Explorer.
My only conclusion is that this is a Firefox issue. What can be done to resolve this?
As it currently is, one can only tell visitors to only use the form with Chrome or IE.
PS. I tried with FF 4.0 beta 10 and the problem persists.
BUT, the strange thing is on two other machines, with FF 3.6.13 the problem does not occur, so something must have messed up my regular system to prevent the correct display of the page.
I tried disabling add-ons, extensions and plug-ins, but that did not help.

Did you use the same [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] for the test with 3.6.x and 4.0 ?
Looks like a problem with JavaScript (Ajax).
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]]
If you the Firefox 4 beta version with the same profile then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Firefox not printing pages on CNBC correctly.

Latest version of FF, tried in safe mode and still won't print the article on the page beyond the first page. This is happening on every page on CNBC.
This one for sure does not print correctly: http://www.cnbc.com/id/102220450?__source=yahoo|finance|headline|headline|story&par=yahoo&doc=102220450

I'm not sure why, but it seems to be related to the use of the <fieldset> tag around the content. Firefox apparently doesn't paginate that tag as expected.
To see how it would appear in print preview substituting a styled <div> tag, you could run the following snippet of script:
(1) Copy the following to the clipboard (it's all one line):
<br>var fs = document.querySelector("fieldset"); var dnew = document.createElement("div"); dnew.setAttribute("class", fs.getAttribute("class")); fs.parentNode.insertBefore(dnew, fs); while(fs.childNodes.length > 0) dnew.appendChild(fs.childNodes[0]); dnew.setAttribute("style", "margin:0 2px; padding:0.35em 0.625em 0.75em; border:2px groove #eee;");
(2) On your test page, open Firefox's web console (Ctrl+Shift+k or Web Developer > Web Console)
(3) Paste the code next to the caret (>) and press Enter to run it
(4) Try print preview

Hp wireless laser mini mouse will not scroll pages with the wheel

Hello, I switched to firefox as my main browser, much better than IE9 in vista 32 bit. I am using a Hp Pavilion entertainment PC laptop with a HP wireless mini mouse and the scroll wheel will not move the web pages up or down, works okay in IE9. I can use the keyboard to scroll and cursor click arrows okay, I really like the mouse wheel better. Thanks for your help.

hello Thegman50, have you already tried installing the latest drvier version that is available for this mouse model from: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=no-75205-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=2093&product=3209078&sw_lang= ?

Firefox not reloading page. Same page reloads w/o problem in other browsers.

I do the graphics layout for three full color magazines and recently found a great program to create flip books for the online viewing of these magazines called Flip Builder. After creating the flip books and posting online, we, along with clients who use Firefox browser have found the flip books will open the first time with no problem. However, if the Refresh/Reload button is hit, the pages will not reload. The round, rotating icon that indicates the load progress simply spins with nothing happening, just a blank screen. The only way to reload the page is by completely closing out Firefox, reopening and re-entering the flip book URL again. Not very convenient for our clients.
This issue only exists with Firefox. Reloading the pages is no problem with Internet Explorer (sorry, had to mention it!) or Opera.
Naturally, our clients use various types of computers, so there is no consistency among users. I am using the most current version of Firefox and noticed this problem immediately.
I've also contacted the makers of Flip Builder and made them aware of this issue.

I have a similar problem. I am building maps using GeoExt. These maps come up fine in all the browsers we've tested (FF, Chrome, IE, Safari), but when the user clicks the reload button in FF, the page tries to load but fails to load components of GeoExt, ones that loaded fine the page load before. If the user hits the reload button again, the page may load correctly or it may not. It appears to be random.
However, if the user places their cursor in the address bar and hits enter, the page loads every time with no problem. This behavior, both the reload button and loading the page from the address bar, is consistent in FF version 5.0 and 9.0.1.

Firefox not displaying IWeb site correctly

Since the last two Firefox upgrades (I'm on the most current one now) on a Mac, my Iweb site is not displaying correctly.
There are circle graphics on the left side of the page (they fill the left side) and only a few show. When I click refresh different ones will show, but not the whole page.
It's not only on this page, but the other pages as well. Sometimes the masthead won't load or graphics in the portfolio won't load.
Also some of the links to CD Baby (Music Page) won't show and will say "Service Temporarily Unavailable". Sometimes if I refresh a few times those will show up.
Thanks for your help!

Safari and Firefox not loading pages

Safari and Firefox are now selectively not loading certain pages. Sites like penny-arcade.com and staffingnow.com give me a ...
Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.staffingnow.com/” because it could not connect to the server “www.staffingnow.com”.
message. Now I have tried to empty my cookies, my cache, I have cleared all data that can be cleared. I've renewed my DHCP lease, reset my router, restarted my computer, etc and none of it seems to help.
I've tried loading them on my girlfriend's pc and they load up fine.
Any ideas?

Having the same problem here, only I dont have firefox. Safari refuses to load my webpage www.epicvideo.com.au yet any other computer can access it. I have another site, with the same server, on a similar but cheaper plan, that loads every time.
I have no problems with download speeds, but from reading discussions, some individual sites, hand-picked by Safari, refuse to load. My business website is the only site Safari wont load - I get the error "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" - frustrating when running a business!!!!
Ive done it all to, emptied the cache, reset safari, deleted all my book marks (yay), turned off my modem, restarted my server, spoken to tech staff at my STMP and website server... even Mac Heads at Telstra... no answers.
Lastly, im finding discussions not helping too much either, cause im just deleting files and changing settings etc - something that will surely cause me more grief!!

Webi Page View Not Displaying Page Size Correctly.

Hi Everone,
I have an issue with one report where the page size sttings do not translate when viewed in HTML Page View.
Figure one is the report as seen in the editor - as you can see the page is displayed correctly - A4 Portrait:
And, when the report is viewed in PDF mode - again, no issues:
But when viewed in HTML page view - it blows out the width of the page:
Now this report, as far as I can tell, is set up no differently than 6 others that are designed to be printed as PDF, all of which do not display this behaviour.
We design them to be printed as PDF but present them to the user in HTML Page view in order to allow injected JavaScript’s in the report to be run. This does not happen when you jump directly into PDF mode.
I have checked in design view and I don't have any wayward report elements pushing out the width and the PDF renders correctly which would not happen if there were hidden elements causing issues, it would render a bunch of blank pages.
So, I am at a loss. The page view is correct in edit mode and in PDV view mode but not in HTML page view. Has anyone else had this issue? I can’t work out why this happens only in one report when all the others work properly.
HELP!!!
- Nick

Hi,
I think it may be <div class="html5gallery-viral-0"> (contains the social media buttons) // screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/AP/2013-08-01_1033.png
It's the only element that isn't in sync with the other elements on page, when compared to home.html for example.
Kind Regards,

Firefox not loading pages from external links

When I get an email with a link, and ask Android to open it, the browser opens and appears to be loading. But only a blank page is there. If I then close the browser and reopen it, I see the page.
Help appreciated.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
#Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
#Tap '''Settings'''.
#After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
#You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
#*Cookies & active logins
#*Cache
#After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

Firefox not loading pages

Hi there, I have Firefox 35.0.1 on my Galaxy 5 (runs Android 4.4.2). Firefox doesn't load pages, either from bookmarks or when I type in a word or an address. Ironically, I am writing this from Chrome. I have moved Firefox to the SD card to see if that makes a difference, but ir doesn't one jot. Help please, but please don't ask me to uninstall and reinstall: I don't want to lose my bookmarks but don't want to sync them with my laptop as I want the two to be separate. Thanks in advance.
