Getting ripple effect when scrolling in firefox on macbook pro

only does it on firefox and not on safari

Problems with scrolling can be caused by smooth scrolling that has been enabled by default in Firefox 13.
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General: Browsing: "Use smooth scrolling"
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

  • Screen ripple effect when scrolling after installing Mavericks?

    Since downloading Mavericks some three weeks ago, my screen ripples (wave effect) when scrolling.
    Dominic kindly responded a short time ago with the suggestion it could be Autocad update related.
    All traces of Autocad wiped from my machine but still experiencing this ripple effect when scrolling.
    Beginning to wish I had not updated to Mavericks.
    Help!!!

    Mine too have this on my new MBP ( September 2009).
    It's more evident in Safari, but show also in finder while scrolling. It is not related to font antialiasing because enlarging page text in Safari (cmd +) the blurry effect is still there.
    I'm very disappointed of lcd screen quality, too much fatigue to eyes.
    Could be considered a screen hardware defect?

  • Screen display is blurry or ripple effect when scrolling

    I have a 15 inch 2.53 Pro and when I am in Safari the screen has a horizontal ripple effect across the screen when I am scrolling. This is slightly worse when I use the vertical scroll bar vs. two-finger scrolling. The overall effect is that the screen is slightly blurry and hard on the eyes to read until the scrolling is stopped. This is a new machine and I have just installed Word suite for students. Any suggestions? I have an iMac that is a few years old and this does not happen on it. Thanks.

  • Get no video when i hook up my macbook pro to tv

    Hooked up my Macbook Pro to tv but get no picture.

    In addition to kristoffer-s' suggestions you can use Apple TV to wirelesslly connect your rMBP.
    It may be the best $99 investment you can make for entertainment on your TV.  It simply requires a standard $10 HDMI cable, not supplied with the Apple TV unit.  Through Apple TV, with Mavericks, you can use the TV as a standard OS X monitor or for entertainment.  Also check out the Beamer software to stream videos to it from your Mac.

  • Why am I getting no power when trying to charge my MacBook pro

    Hi, I'm having the same issue as srinuan had on Aug 8 "Adapter cord plugged in working surge bar...yet no indicator light on cord lit...no power ....unable to charge battery, use computer".  You replied ..."Have you reset the computer's SMC?" What is the SMC? I'm not even close to the computer knowledge base you have:)

  • I am getting this message when I start Firefox ' files in your application's profile directory'. How do I resolve it?

  • How can i get in work my Hp scaner with my macbook pro?

    how can i get in use my Hp scaner with my macbook pro?

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

  • I keep getting kicked off of my wifi on my macbook pro.  It is the wifi in my house.  I get kicked off like every few minutes or so.  Why is this and how can I stop it?

    I keep getting kicked off of my wifi on my macbook pro.  It is the wifi in my house.  I get kicked off like every few minutes or so.  Why is this and how can I stop it?

    I think the other devices are fine.  I'm not sure.  It usually only happens like a couple days out of the week.  I do know that the network I'm using when I click on the wifi symbol at the top of my screen doesn't have a padlock on it.  It IS MY network that is at my house, but maybe that has something to do with it.

  • When is Apple updating the MacBook Pro?

    Let me start out by saying I know this is not an actual technical issue so I apologize for posting this question on this type of server, I just didn't know where else to ask so thank you to whoever can help.
    I love Apple products and think they just work so amazingly and want to buy my first MacBook Pro. I am a college student and don't have a lot of money to spend on a new computer. I understand that MacBook Pros have recently been upgraded and I am planning on getting the cheaper 15 inch model, however, my friend told me that he heard Apple is planning on upgrading the MacBook Pro's by the end of the summer. I know that technology moves fast and things get outdated quickly but I would rather not buy one now only to find out that if I waited a month or two I could have gotten a much nicer version of the computer.
    If anybody knows what the deal is as far as when the next line of MacBook Pros are supposed to come out I would appreciate it very much.
    Thanks

    The instant Apple releases a new line of machines, they're already planning the next release.  They don't tell anyone when the next release will be...  it's like an extra special surprise to everyone!    So, your best bet is to buy what you need when you need it, and don't spend too much time worrying about what's coming next.
    Since you're buying for college, it will probably be best for you to wait for Apple's inevitable back to school deal... which, in the past, has involved buying a Mac at the educational price and getting an iPod for free (with a rebate).  I got my iPod Touch that way, back when I was still teaching.  $250 iPod, totally free!

  • When i turn on my macbook pro why does a bunch of things pop up

    when i turn on my macbook pro why does a bunch of things pop up

    It's the Resume feature of Lion:
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
