How can I stop multiple switching to address bar when navigating to pages?

Recently, whenever I go to a new page, Firefox will place my cursor focus in the address bar - if I try to click away it puts the focus right back into the address bar. If I wait for the page to load completely, I can click away without the focus returning. I have an add-on that places the focus in the address bar when I open a new tab, but it's never done it whenever a page loads.
It's driving me crazy, because normally when I go to a page I scroll using the arrow keys... which I can't do when my cursor is in the address box. I just updated to Firefox 34.0, which didn't fix the problem. I can't find an option to change this in the preferences window, and I can't identify anything that changed to make it do this...

A possible culprit is the Custom New Tab extension.

How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

See these articles for some suggestions:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Did you perform the fixes from the "Preferences not saved" article?
Try to delete or rename/move the prefs.js file and other possible prefs-##.js with a number and user.js files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

HT1689 How can I stop multiple automatic downloads of the same item?

Why does iTunes keep wanting to download the same item over and over again? How do I stop this without turning off the automatic download function.

You may click on the "+" button to the right of the first multiple choice box to add more in the same line. When you hover over the button, the tooltip says "insert item beside".

Why in address bar in not the url but "go to the web site"? How can I see url in the address bar?

Why in the address bar is not URL but "go to the web site"? How can I see the URL in the address bar?

those are some addons that other users have reported to cause the same problem in the past: Gom player, Ask Toolbar, DivX (Plus) Web Player, RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin...
in case you have one of them present, try to disable/remove it - otherwise you could disable all your extensions & reenable them one by one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step) until you find the culprit.

How can I stop the ripple across the screen when scrolling down since I upgraded my Mac to Firefox 4 ?

Since I upgraded to Firefox 4 I am getting a horizontal ripple across the data when scrolling down, which is very disruptive and uncomfortable. How can this be corrected. I am using an IMac with Mac OS X 10.6.7 ?

Same problem on Imac with updated software. Had problem in earlier versions and changed key : <key>CGDisableCoalescedUpdates</key>
<true/> to false and that resolved the problem. It helps somewhat with Firefox 4, but not enough. Is this just a Mac problem or are PCs having the same problem? This may be enough for me to switch browsers or go back to 3.6.

How to put the focus on the address bar, when opening a new tab in Safari?

Dear users, I'm using Safari 6.0.3 (8536.28.10) under OSX 10.8.3. Until recently, whenever I opened a new tab in Safari, the focus was always on the address bar, which was quite useful. However, since last week, maybe after an update (I don't know exactly), the focus of a new tab is always on the page, not the address bar. How can I go back to the previous configuration? I changed no options, it simply got sudeenly different, and it's quite annoying. Thank you for the help.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

Can I add my parameter in address bar when calling form?

Hi,
I need to call form with parameter.
I'm calling reports with parameters. For example: [http://server:7778/reports/rwservlet?report=/home/oracle/report.rdf&userid=usr/pass@db&P_PARAMETER1=value&P_PARAMETER2=value]
I need to do the same with form.
I tried but couldnot success. How can I do that?
I tried with: [http://server:7778/forms/frmservlet?form=/home/oracle/form.fmx&userid=usr/pass@db&P_PARAMETER1=value&P_PARAMETER2=value]
I added WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE in form:
declare
pl_id paramList;
parameter_type number;
parameter_value varchar2 (200);
begin
pl_id := get_parameter_list ('default');
if not id_null (pl_id) then
get_parameter_attr (pl_id, 'P_PARAMETER1', parameter_type, parameter_value);
destroy_parameter_list (pl_id);
if parameter_value is not null then
USING PARAMETER...
end if;
end if;
end;
Edited by: Fitibaldi on Nov 25, 2008 1:30 AM

Hello,
In the url, the private parameters must be placved after the otherparams key word:
http://server.../frmservelt?config=MY_CONFIG&otherparams=the_param=the_value&...
The parameter list is not used in this case.
These parameters must exist in your Forms module in order to be used via the :PARAMETER object:
Declare
value varchar2(100);
Begin
value := :PARAMETER.the_param ;
End;Francois

How can I stop Safari switching off Keychain items I want to keep open? It's annoying!

I’ve got loads of passwords saved in Secure Notes in Keychain.
Typically I’ll open a Secure Note and copy and paste the passwords into a Safari page.
Now with Mavericks, as soon as I’ve pasted the password, the Secure Note is automatically switched off. I assume this is some sort of security feature? Trouble is, I quite often need to keep the Secure Note open for other reasons - so now I have to keep opening the same note!
Does anyone know how I can stop this?

Barney - I do value your help.
I’m particularly grateful that you have investigated my problem and have confirmed that A. It is true and B. It can’t be altered.
And I do appreciate that you have taken the time to look for a workaround issue for me.
As far as I can see our only disagreement is over your suggestion that the solution is to have separate accounts.
When I responded I wasn’t trying to be antagonistic - only to point out that in my case having separate accounts would be impractical.
My only complaint is levelled at Apple, not you! They have done something to Keychain Access / Safari that may be a benefit to others - but it is an irritation to me.
In an ideal world, I’d have an option in Safari Preferences saying something like: ‘Don’t let Autofill Passwords switch off Keychain Access Secure Notes after use’.
So, my sincere apologies if I have come across as ungrateful. I really do appreciate that people like yourself take the time to selflessly offer community support to people like me.
Cheers
Nick

HT1338 how can I stop safari switch into new tab?

Whenever I open a link in new tab, my laptop switches into the new tab, which makes me so angry. I tried so many times, but I didn't find where to make my laptop stay at the old tab even when I open a new link. I need your help.
Thank you

I'm not sure if this will suffice, but if you hold the Command key while clicking on a link, it will open in a new tab behind the current tab.
You may want to just open a new tab behind the current tab, without clicking a specific link. I have it set to open new tabs showing Top Sites. If I hold the Command key and click the Top Sites "button" on the toolbar, I get a new tab showing Top Sites behind the current tab. For me, this is equivalent to giving the new tab command, except for the tab appearing in front of the current tab (with the new tab command).

How can I stop multiple downloads of the same email from sympatico.ca?

How can I stop the swf file from repeating on different web pages

I have my entire website built and am using a flash
navigation bar that also has a movie presentation attached to it. I
uploaded it to every page in my site because it is required for
navigation. My problem is that the movie plays every time you
switch to a different page, I only want it to play once on the home
page, and then just have the flash navigation work on the rest of
them. I know that there is a way to use cookies to tell the
computers IP address that is viewing the site not to replay the
movie if it has already played within the specified time frame. But
I am not very good with actually inputting code into flash, I am
new to it. I have seen sample code on another website but I think
it was referring to the wrong flash version, and it did not specify
exactly where to put it in. Please help!

Well I am actually using a template. And the flash video that
was created is way beyond my ability. So I tried initially to
separate the two, the intro video, and the navigation. But they are
intertwined in a way that I do not understand. I do need to do the
variable thing. I took a flash class in school, and my book does
not touch anywhere close to this. I know its probably too
complicated to explain through a forum, but can you recommend any
resources online or books that would go more in depth with this
sort if thing. If I can just see the way it works on another site,
I know that I can do on mine.
Thank you!!!

How can I stop sound track from being divided when adding clips to other tracks in PrE12?

The situation:
I have a project with several minutes of video clips on the timeline (expert view) in "Video 1/Audio 1." There is also music on the sound track (below the empty "Narration" track).
Any time I make an edit to the Video 1 track, PRE cuts the Sound Track. (Note that this is not the Audio 1 track, it's the sound track which is two tracks away.) If I insert a clip, the Sound Track is cut and left with a gap. Same if I do a FreezeFrame insert. This is bad enough (make ten insertions, have the Sound Track chopped into ten separate pieces), but it gets worse: when I try to slide the Sound Track pieces back together, the Video 1 clips will be moved around.
This appears to be a major bug but I'm hoping there is a simple way to deal with it.
Here's what the Manual (p.71) has to say about it (not much).
"When you insert a clip into the Expert view timeline, adjacent clips on all tracks shift to accommodate the new clip. By shifting all clips together, the audio and video of the existing clips remain in sync."
* The question here is, adjacent to what? The Sound Track is a continuous music clip of many minutes; it is alone on the Track, and there is nothing on the track above it (Narration track). So it's not adjacent to anything, and yet it is being chopped up.
The Manual continues:
"Sometimes, you don’t want all clips to shift with each insertion. For example, when you add background music that superimposes the entire movie, you don’t want clips to shift."
*They got that right, but they don't say anything about how to prevent it.
This next makes no sense at all:
"To shift specific clips togather, press the Alt key as you insert. At a time, you can shift specific clips simultaneously on a maximum of two tracks. These include the track receiving the insertion and the track containing the linked audio or video (if any). The affected tracks shift together, remaining aligned. The clips on other tracks are unaffected."
*There is no mention of how to specify what clips would be shifted, or not.
I'm not dealing with linked clips. And they tell me how to shift clips (sort of) but nothing about how to stop clips from being cut up and shifted. This all makes it very hard to create a coordinated product.
Any suggestions or solutions will be much appreciated.

Thanks, ATR,
I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
UPDATE:
In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Put Video on Vid1 track
2. Put Music on Sound Track
3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie" also tried with holding down Alt key.
Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track. A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of Video1 track.
7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
UPDATE #2
In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Locate video in Project Assets
2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
2b. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!
