Hovering over links doesn't always show hover state?

After installing Firefox 7, I noticed something weird. I'm a front-end web developer, so I noticed this recently when creating custom tool-tips that appear on hover. I noticed that the hover tooltip wouldn't appear for certain links, and at first I thought I was doing something wrong on my end, but then I realized that this was happening on almost all websites.
Here's what's happening: on ''some'' links, not all, the hover state only gets activated on certain parts of the link. [http://i.imgur.com/P60He.png Here is a screenshot] -- it's from the Firefox help forum. Hover over the green portion activates the hover state (underlining the top link), but the red portion does nothing. Some of the links work throughout, but some don't. The same goes with Google search results.
I'm running OS X Lion.
I'm wondering if it's just me or a Firefox 7 bug, can someone help/confirm?

I am having this issue as well. I am also running OS/X Lion and when the issue crops up, it is not limited to Firefox, it extends across all browsers... I have tested on Opera, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome... it happens in all of them. I believe this to be a Lion specific issue, not just Firefox.

  • Hyperlink color doesn't change when hovering over link

    I create hyperlink, color I select for hovering over link works fine. But sometimes when I publish to my website the link color does not change, but the link works ok. I go back to my mac and check, sure enough the color changes just fine. I wipe out the link and reinsert new one. Works fine on the mac, but when I publish, color does not change when hovering. Help.

    Welcome to the discussions. This is a long shot, but try clearing your browser's cache and reloading the page — then see if the color changes when hovering. ( In Safari, click on the Safari menu and choose +Empty Cache...+ )

  • Yellow pop up box when hovering over links missing in CC?

    The behavior when hovering over links in the Links Panel in CS6 was a yellow pop up box with the full path of the link displayed.
    I find that is not the behavior in CC and I am really missing that.
    Have I missed a setting somewhere to enable this in CC?

    That was it.
    Tool tips was not enabled. Enabling it brings back the yellow box. Didn't really think of that as a tool tip.
    Thanks

  • Yellow Box when hovering over links

    Hi All,
    I have read a few discussions surrounding the 'yellow box' that appears when hovering over links in safari. Last I read some time ago revealed this is an intergrated 'feature' of safari. Is this still the case?? Or have enough users complained to have this 'feature' squashed (fingers crossed.....)
    Thanks

    You may keep your fingers crossed.  Hovering produces the yellow information box.
    Ciao.

  • HT3180 When trying to play itunes and slideshows from my Mac book to Apple TV the small icon on the bottom right of the screen which switches between Computer and Apple TV doesn't always show up, and therefore the function doesn't work.  What's up?

    We are trying to play playlists and a slideshow from an Apple Macbook wirelessly to the Apple TV.  The small, upward arrow icon that appears on the bottom right of the screen (which allows you to pick Computer or Apple TV) doesn't always show up, and therefore, we can't get it to work.  Any thoughts?

    Airplay mirroring software will not work with anything below Mountain Lion 10.8 and an Apple computer from 2011 or newer.

    Go to "About this Mac" and tell us:
    1. What OS X version you are running
    And then click on "More Info" and tell us
    1. What year is your Macbook.
    Also tell us a little about your cable and Wireless setup.
    Maybe we can help.

  • Mail icon in dock doesn't always show that a new mail has arrived

    Hi,
    I have a Tiger installation at work that doesn't always show when a new mail has arrived and I can't figure out why. The Mail icon in the dock doesn't change before you maximize the Mail app.
    Does anyone in here know how to fix it, or is it a known bug in Tiger (10.4.3) ?
    Regards
    Thomas G. Madsen
    Powermac G5 (2 x 1.8 Ghz)   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    First of all, Mail must be opened to see the number of new messages in the Mail icon. Have you checked if it's opened?
    If it's opened, open Mail app, go to Mail menu > Preferences > General, and check that, in "Dock unread count", it's selected the option you need

  • Hovering over things doesn't work

    So I have had my MacBook Pro for a solid 1 1/2 years, and I am very satisfied with apple. However, recently my macbook started doing this thing, where when I hovered over something (say, my dock), it wouldn't think im hovering over it until I clicked it. So basically, when I go over my dock and put my mouse over system prefereces, it doesn't display the little bubble that says "system preferences". This is extremely annoying when playing games or watching videos, nothing works fine. Tried restarting, still didn't work.

    I am having this issue as well. I am also running OS/X Lion and when the issue crops up, it is not limited to Firefox, it extends across all browsers... I have tested on Opera, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome... it happens in all of them. I believe this to be a Lion specific issue, not just Firefox.

  • Xcelsius/Dashboard Design - mouse over capability doesn't work/losing hover

    Hello there,  I am currently in a tough situation.  If any Xcelsius gurus can provide me with a solution, I would very much appreciate your help.
    I currently have a dashboard with pie chart component in the default view.  It has a radio button with two values.  The mouse over doesn't work when the dashboard is loaded.  However, when I make a selection in the radio button, the mouse over works for both the options.  I have noticed this is a bug but if anyone has a solution or way around it, let me know.
    Another issue - I have a 'All' view and 'Region' views in the menu bar.  When a user clicks on a particular Region, then clicks all and goes back to a region, I lose the drill down capability on the pie chart thats on the Region view.  initially, the mouse over and drill down works fine.  However, after going to the All view and coming back to a region, this capability is lost.  It acts the same way as the problem above.  User can't hover nor drill down.  If anyone has a solution to this, let me know.

    FYI this is the article on the main forum page:
    Announcement: New to Spry, or  the Spry forums?

    Before you post a topic please verify that:
    You are using the latest Spry files
    The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
    After that we will have a look at your code.

  • No summary when hovering over links and videos. its just a blank bubble what can I do?

    It happened after I downloaded the firefox 3. something. Usually when you hover over a link or video it gives a description but for me its just a small blank bubble. very annoying please help

    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 > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why does FF6 jump up and down when hovering over links

    When the mouse cursor rolls over a link, FF6 jumps up about an inch. When I roll over again, it jumps down the same amount. It also sometimes happens on text boxes and other input items.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Safari 7.0 problem when hovering over links

    Recently updated to Mavericks and Safari 7.0.  Now encountering a problem with my wordpress website www.robinmandel.net (and several other sites that use the same theme evince the same problem.)  Problem is: some links, both text and images, are now jumping around when moused over, making them impossible to click and disrupting the formatting of the page.  Same problem with Chrome.  Firefox works fine.  I've looked at my site on an older machine with Safari 6 and no problem.  Thoughts?

    Use another theme.

  • External video view doesn't always show anamorphic

    It's really weird, when I look at my output video from the external monitor through my DV or TV connected to my DV, sometimes it doesn't show it as anamorphic or with the letterbox but sometimes it does on the same sequence that I'm editing. What am I missing?

    well, it's not like that, what I meant was, the sequence was set to anamorphic and all the clips were shot in anamorphic, but when playing the sequence and watching it on my DV screen, the exact same sequence sometimes shown in 4:3 and sometimes shown as anamorphic, sometimes when I restart FCP, it'd be all fine but sometimes it won't. Like just now, I'm working on the sequence, everything in anamorphic, when I play it the first time, it's perfectly fine everywhere, but when I play it the second time (I didn't touch anything on the sequence), although it's fine on the FCP canvas, it's showing 4:3 without the letterbox on my DV screen. Did I miss something? Any help would be great.
    Thanks

  • The Address Book Contacts doesn't always show the Titles.

    Among the contacts I have, some entries do not show the title in the name field of the address book.  I tested on one of them that used to show the title by removing the tiltle and saved it and then putting it back in again and saved it.  From
    then onwards the title no longer shows up.

  • Hotmail: cursor hovering over sender's name not showing address

    IE is allowing me to see the sender's email address when I hover the cursor over the "From" name. Not so in Firefox. Why, and how do I correct this problem, that seems to have started about 2 weeks ago (prior to 2 weeks ago the problem didn't exist at all).

    Check the form data setting:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
    Websites may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling form fill data.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save names and passwords and other form data.
