Firefox randomly locks up for 20-300 seconds, the "hourglass" stops, then it recovers...

i upgraded to firefox 4, and immediately began to have a performance issue. firefox frequently locks up for 20-30 seconds when i click a link or hit "enter." the "spinning activity icon" in the active tab stops, and firefox is entirely unresponsive; however, i can switch to any other program/window, everything else continues to work normally. eventually firefox comes back to life and executes the actions made while it was unresoponsive...

I get the same thing, super annoying

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • I have not been able to get the built-in iPhone 4S keyboard dictation to work. I talk into it, then tap "Done", then the phone "thinks" for a few seconds (the purple dots pulse and I see the network icon on the top bar spinning) and then nothing happens.

    Siri is wroking fine

    I am experiencing exactly the same problem, today, and a reset, of all settings, did nothing to correct it.  Any suggestions would be welcome.  While dictation in all apps is out, Siri is working fine also.

    It is a panel that pops up and the heading on the panel is 'Universal Access', it is actually just an image of a panel, you can't access it.  I have checked keyboard shortcuts and none of them are assigned to the command key only

    How can I customize the navigation bar in Firefox 29? I would like to have the refresh/stop button back in front of the navigation bar!

    There isn't a built in way to do that since all the navigation toolbars are on one toolbar.
    You can restore this functionality by installing the Classic Theme Restorer add-on

  • Horizon2 Bluetooth mouse randomly locks up for minutes at a time.

    The only solution is to re-pair the mouse (any bluetooth mouse, ive tried 3 and they all lock up) or reboot the computer, which is really bothersom when it locks up in the middle of something important and the only way to get out is use the touchscreen...
    i have read the other issues from 2-4 years ago on other machines. 
    Those solutions did not work for me.
    Please advise.

    I have used 4 different bluetooth mice in trying to get around this, and i am 99.99% certain that the bluetooth hardware is junk.
    The cursor stops moving completely. The buttons stop working completely.
    Randomly, and for no reason, whatever paired mouse i have will abruptly, and without warning, disconnect itself from the Lenovo Horizon 2 - 27" that i just purchased, yet the bluetooth software still says it is connected.
    The ONLY recourse i have, is to use the touch-screen to exit out of whatever i am doing, open up the bluetooth hardware interface from PC settings and un-pair/re-pair whatever mouse i am using.
    I only have a single mouse paired at any single time, i have used several sets of brand-new batteries from different manufactures and containers.
    Immediately before the mouse unpairs after the process is initiated, approximately 65% of the time, the cursor will bounce around the screen as if it were "catching up" and dumping whatever movements were "stored" by the computer before unpairing completely.
    I have tested this several times by moving my mouse diagonally in a single random direction repeatedly immediately after the cursor stops moving. The apaprent "catching up" actually IS "catching up" as the random movements mimic whatever motions i made with the mouse immediately after it stops functioning, untill i forcefully un-pair it from the machine.
    I need help with this, because having to un-pair/re-pair my mouse every hour or two or three is getting to be extremely frustrating.

  • Audio randomly cuts out for a few seconds

    After an hour or more of use, audio on my 160 GB iPod Classic randomly stops for about five seconds, then resumes. This problem doesn't happen often, but will happen two or more times during a couple of hours of play. This problem does not seem to be related to the music that is playing at the time.
    I'm wondering if Apple is going to issue a firmware update that might fix this problem.

    Unfortunately there's no fix for this problem that plagues Classic since release. Considering that a new generation appeared I guess we have no reason to expect a fix anymore.
    I also have the problem and it makes the iPod Classic less desirable to be used as a music player than a generic $10 (no name) usb stick.

  • U3415W, randomly goes black for like 2 seconds?

    Just got this monitor and I'm having the exact same issue. Goes black for like 2 seconds randomly. It's differently on the monitor side of things, as I have another monitor connect through DP(daisy chain) and the same issue happens on that monitor as well. Both random, but sometimes at the same time with each. My third monitor which is connected through DVI has zero issues. I have tried the Dell without anything else connect, but getting the same issues.
    Any ideas?

    I am indeed, just a single mDP to DP was supplied. The issue was there with just that cable and the Dell monitor connected.
    I have since turned off DP 1.2 on the monitor and the issue has gone away. Problem is that my graphics card supports DP 1.2, so that shouldn't have been causing any issues. (Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X)
    Dell support were support to contact be back again today so I can update them, but never got a call.

  • When I open Gmail in Firefox, the secure (padlock) icon appears only for a few seconds; the connection then recycles and goes to the triangle alert icon.

    When I open or refresh Gmail in Firefox, the secure padlock icon appears at first, but within a few seconds the connection then refreshes itself without me opening anything or moving the mouse. The secure icon is then replaced by the alert triangle, which displays a message when I hover over it saying "This website does not supply identity information." I have already changed the Images setting to Ask Before Displaying External Images, but it had no effect on this behavior. This same change happens on other secure websites, but not as consistently it does on Gmail.

    If there is mixed passive content (e.g. images) then Firefox shows an exclamation mark instead of "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location bar.
    You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and search for lines with [mixed] to see if that allows to identify the mixed content.

  • Music player locks mobile for a few seconds (Lumia...

    Hello,
    I bought a Lumia 920 one month ago.
    Since first day I'm having problems with music player. When I click to play a song it takes several seconds to update screen, moreover hardware buttons doesn't do anything. After a few seconds mobile starts to work again, and everything seems well. 
    It happens with any application that play music (microsoft, nokia and mine), and with any music file. Same files where working perfectly on a Lumia 800.
    I did a small search  if somebody had similar problems, but I didn't find anybody (¿?).
    Any idea?

    As I said, it happens with all application that play music: nokia music, windows player, and one application that I developing.  I click to play a song, music starts to sound, but mobile gets lock for a few seconds (around 30 seconds!). I tried to click back button, power button, ... doesn't matter mobile is complete lock, after this time, mobile starts to process all clicks (back, power button, ...)

  • I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image to my TV by clicking fn F3.  If I hold the mouse on the imovie icon for a few seconds the imovie window opens but if I click anywhere on the window it disappears

    I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image from my macbook pro to the tv screen like I have done many times before.  If I double click on the imovie icon, imovie doesn't open, but the strip across the top shows iMovie, file, edit , clip, view, text share window help tabs across the top.  The iMovie window will appear if I click on the iMovie icon on the dock for a few seconds, or if I do control F3 at the same time, but when I click on the window it disappears.  When I hover the mouse over the iMovie window that appears the window has a blue border around it.  when I move the mouse outside the iMovie window the blue border goes away.  If I sweep 4 fingers from the top of the screen down, the screen dims a little but the iMovie window doesn't appear. If I click play under the view tab I can hear audio, but still no iMovie window.  It's as if the window is being blocked by the desk top somehow.

  • Toshiba 46G310U turns on for a few seconds the goes black with a horizontal line

    I have a Toshiba 46G310U that when it is first plugged up it will come on for a few seconds and show a great beautiful picture, then the screen goes dark with a horizontal line across the screen that eventually fades out too. Turning the TV off and back on does not help, If I leave it unplugged for 5 minutes with the source unplugged also, it will come on when plugged back up for a few minutes at the most then starts the whole turning dark with the horizontal line that fades completely out. I've aready replaced the inverter board, the T-con board, and now I am at a stand still because I can find any help with the problem for starters(Toshiba Tech support was NO help and was unwilling to listen to my problem), second I am thinking possible power supply problem but I am having problems finding the power supply board, the main logic board, and the two small narrow boards that the T-con plugs into above the LCD display. Display has to be good for the picture to be perfect before fading to dark. Back light is also good as I can see it when the display goes dark it still has a glow and with the back of the TV off I can see the actual back light panel shinning. Suggestions? No I won't call tech support back as it was a horrible experience dealing with the rude techs. Thanks in advance.

    The tech at Toshiba support was rude and seemed more interested in what was happening in the office then my issue with the TV. I've talked to a local tv service shop and they had no clue about the LCD type of tvs. I just would like to know if it is the main logic/input board or the power supply board. I can find the power board but have had no luck with the main board. Mr.. Moderator if you have any suggestions from Toshiba I would be very appreciative of your help. Thank y

  • HT201263 I have restored my iPad (first generation without retina display) and it finishes restoring software but will not stay on for me to restore the data and then shuts off whenever I try to turn it on. I don't believe that it is charging! HELP!

    Long story about what happened but basically I was using the iPad (first generation without retina display) to watch TV at one point it had 20% battery so I plugged it in then it wasn't charging and I didn't realize so it got to 5% and shut off. I plugged it in to charge it but it just kept shutting down and showing the apple logo, then briefly showing me my home screen before shutting off again. I waited a while to see if it would charge, while it continued to turn off and on by itself. Finally, I unplugged it to see if it had gotten any charge but it just told me to plug it in again. I plugged it into a different charger, same thing. I decided to try connecting it to a computer and it stopped turning on but it did not seem to charge. I tried restoring it as it said in the article. It worked until it got to restoring the iPad from the backup that I had because it immediately shutdown before I could continue. I tried to restore it a second time but still it shut down! I'm so frusturated and I cannot afford to get a new iPad, I need it for school and there is no Apple store for 80 miles nor do I have any insurance or warranty on it! (Obviously considering it's the first iPad to ever come out.) I really don't know what to do! HELP

  • HT201263 ok, I did the above, and I waited 2 hours for this to download the "update." Then I try it again on the ipod, and it starts to redo the same download all over again !

    I started the update, and in the middle of it, the same previous screen pops up that it can't connect to the ipod,and the ipod screen goes back to "disabled." I waited it out, let the download finish. Then I had to try the process over again, and it started the download all over again, even though I just did that. Another two hours??? This is driving me mad. All for a stupid password ! How do I reset this dang thing, so I can open it. Bad enough I have to re do everything, because I have to restore it. PLEASE HELP !
    Just wanted to add that apparently the ipod is disconnecting and reconnecting to the computer somehow. I know because when you plug in the ipod, the computer makes a noise, as with any hardware. Well I click on "restore," agree to the restore, then it starts to download the update. A few minutes later, I hear the computer make the same noise, as if I have disconnected the ipod, even though I haven't even touched the cord. Then it makes the sound again, as being reconnected or plugged in, then the message pops up that it can't be connected, because a password has to be entered. The ipod screen then goes from the restore picture ( the itunes logo with usb cord) to the same "disabled, connect to itunes."
    I am not trying a different cord and seeing if that helps the plugged in portion.

    Do a manual install using the instructions here.
    have you download the update/firmware, place the iPod in recovery mode and then update/restore using the instructions in the article.
