Firefox on Win8 opens menu and reloads last page or first tab

Dear community!
I use a Sony Vayo Duo 11 ultra convertible with latest Windows 8
Firefox is frequently loading the first tab (seems as it it refreshes and switch back to the first opened page?) It also opens the menu, the cursor jumps to it too, so I can´t continue writing unless pressing escape and replace the position of my cursor. On Youtube Firefox even jumped regularily to the former video!
I have asked about this on Diaspora and Computerclubs, but nobody knew the answer. It might as well be a Windows problem, although browsers, esp. Firefox make the most problems.
Thank you so much
Cheery

hello Cheery_Littlebottom ,
at first try to start the firefox in safe mode to check if one of the extensions is causing this problem.
to do that follow the instructions here and check if the problem's gone:

hi, my firefox and safari are both having difficulty loading certain parts of web pages. previous to this my firefox would freeze and state that a script was not responding. i would stop the script and reload the page and everything would be fine. now though the pages just load very very slowly or load leaving out certain pictures and video content. i've tried clearing my cache's and cookies, resetting my browser etc, but it seems like its a system issue as both safari and firefox are having issues. i've run Avast to screen for malware and it came up empty. any suggestions?

I think it must be missing from the Applications folder.

PFCG issue - removing transaction codes from menu and not clearing up the authorization tab

I’m using SAP ERP version ECC6 and EHP5 and also we have updated our system with the PSCD FI module.
I’m having the following issue in PFCG transaction code - I have created a new single role by copied other or from scratch and added few transaction codes into the menu. After that, I went in the authorization tab using the "Change Authorization Data" and I felled all the missing information until the role was green out. I generated the role then I totally went out. I come back to the same role that I created earlier and I did removed all the transaction codes from the menu and I did find the following:
- the Authorization tab light didn't change from green to red
- I went into the Authorization tab by "Change Authorization Data" and a part of the objects were still in.
Normally behave should be:
- when we remove one transaction code from the menu the light from Authorization tab should change from green to red. When you empty the menu then the light color should change also, but the authorization tab should be also empty.
Could please give me some idea how to do it next?

Hi Gabriela,
Most of the times standard roles contains manually added authorization objects. When ever you are creating a new role by copying the existing standard role so by default, these objects will come in to new role.
Now, coming to your role. After removing t code from role if nothing has changed in Authorization tab means.
Here are the possible reasons.
1. The t code which you have removed might not have any checked and maintained authorization objects, that's why your Authorization tab still in unchanged.
2. Rememeber, when ever you are adding or removing t code from menu always use expert mode for profile generation option along with "Read old status and merge with new data" Option.
This will bring the all checked and maintained data for each t code.
3. After removing the t codes from menu and if you generate the Authorization tab by using expert mode option still if you find authorization objects means, those are manually added authorization objects that's why those were not removed.
I hope this will give some clue to your issue.
Thanks,
Siva

HT203167 Hi, I recently bought a book (Jeffrey Toobin, The Oath), and the last page of the first two chapters, at least, are missing. Could you advise?

Hi, I recently bought a book (Jeffrey Toobin, The Oath) through iBook on my iPhone, and the last page of the first two chapters, at least, are missing. Could you advise?

Nothing no one here can do. Call the place where you purchased the book from or contact the book author!

Pages 5.1 error "This document is too old. To open it, save it with Pages '09 first."

When trying to open a Pages '08 file from a MacBook Pro in Pages 5.1 on an iMac, I get thr error message, "This document is too old. To open it, save it with Pages '09 first". I cannot locate a Pages '09 to use. I can export the file from Pages '08 into a Microsoft Word Doc file and can open it then. How I do I solve the problem and open files in Pages 5.1?

It is A solution that works if you don't have too many Page files to convert, but is very poor solution if trying to move everything off of the MacBook Pro to the iMac. I don't necessarily need to open the 5 years of files, but if I need to look at something archived, I'm dead in the water.
It doesn't make sense that a Mac can open a Microsoft product but cannot open a Mac product. I can understand that a program is not forward compatibale, but almost all programs are backward compatible. This same problem appears with Numbers 3.1.
Apple needs Microsoft as a solution?

HT1750 Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages document

I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old. To open it, save it with Pages 09 first still can't open pages document

Either you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features.

If you migrated your old system to the new Mac you should still have Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
Open your document in Pages '08 and Export it to Word .doc/.docx and open that in Pages 5.

My firefox webpage now opens up as a whole page and I am not able to see any any menu bars

All of a sudden my firefox webpage now opens in the whole window and I am not able to see any menu bars in the top or the "start" icon in the bottom of the screen

Toggle Full Screen mode on/off with F11 -- very useful keyboard shortcut.

Firefox 3.6.18 is causing the webpages to bounce (or shake) up and down. Oddly, this doesn't happen if I open your "Ask a Question" page in another tab. Then the webpages in all the tabs stop shaking/bouncing.

I just downloaded and installed version 3.6.18. The web pages that are displayed shake (or bounce) up and down. Oddly enough, when I open your "Ask a Question" feature in another tab, the problem stops. But only as long as I keep that particular tab open.
I am running an eMachine T2245 with Windows XP using SP2. I have numerous add-ons, including Flashblock, 1.5.14.2, KeyScrambler 2.8.0.1, MultiRow Bookmarks Toolbar 5.0.1, NoScript 2.1.2rc4, and Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.6.

I found a "work around". I installed Incredible Bookmarks 0.7.3. That allows me to add an additional Bookmarks Toolbar without causing the bouncing problem.
Putting bookmarks in the IB bar was a little tricky. It allows customization, but only to the extent of choosing bookmarks by topic or by a subdirectory of the Bookmarks Menu. What I actually put on the toolbar are such subdirectories (or folders), so I normally could only put one at a time. (This problem doesn't exist with the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar, which allows you to copy subfolders, not just individual bookmarks).
I solved the problem by moving the additional folders I wanted to put in the IB Toolbar into a folder I (cleverly) called "IB Toolbar", then selected that for the actual Toolbar. The result: a row of folders, exactly what I wanted. (Actually, it's a second row of folders, since I still have the original Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar.)
I'd still prefer MultiRow, but that doesn't appear to be working with Firefox 3.6.18 and higher, so until I upgrade to Firefox 5 (and see if the Plus version will work) this will have to do.

What is the green bullseye in firefox next to "open menu" button?

Just to the left of the "open menu" button there is a green target that recently showed up. If I hover over it, I get no info. I have had issues with viruses lately, and don't want to just click it to find out.

HT3384 I am using Pages v 5.2. How do I convert my older Pages documents to 5.2? When I try to open them I get a notice that I have to use a newer version, which I already have. So I have to go to the "Open with" menu and click on Pages 5.2. Happens every

Every time I want to open a document created in an older version of Pages, I have to right click and select "Open with Pages (default) (5.2). Then it will open but when I close it it is still the old version. I want to be able to simply double click the document I want and have it open. How can I make those older documents into v. 5.2? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You are opening the old Pages version by mistake. This version is kept after installing the most recent Pages version in case you want to use it again, and I recommend you not to delete it.
I recommend you to put the new Pages version in a place where you can open it easily, for example, in the Dock. The only thing you have to do is to go to Applications folder (open a Finder window and choose Applications in the sidebar), and drag Pages to the Dock. The new Pages version has got this icon:
After putting Pages in the Dock, open it and access to all your documents. They will be converted to Pages 5.2 format if they were not opened with Pages 5.2 before.
