How do I enable a loading progress bar?

There's a spinning donut, but no pogress bar to show if anything is actually loading or how much has been loaded

hello dhermosillo, the spinning throbber will be replaced by a progress bar in firefox 29, the next version scheduled to be released at the end of the month - the feature is currently in beta and if you want to test it, you can download it from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta

How can I remove the Loading Progress Bar that pops-up at the bottom of the screen and relocates its self every time i try to mouse over it ?

I noticed that the latest beta of Firefox has brought a new feature, namely that grey box that pops up when you load a new page and displays the progress : loading... transferring .. and so on. I find that very annoying. How can I remove it ?
I have tried from the Customize panel... but I haven't found anything related to that.

@cor-el: Thank you for your help. Got the issue fixed.
For those who are interested in a quick fix for this, go under (user profile depending on what OS you are using)\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\chrome , create a css file named userChrome.css (you have an example there... ) and paste in this code :
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
#statusbar-display { display: none !important; }
Not sure if it's really correct, but it removed that annoying Status-bar, so I'm satisfied with it.

How to use thread only for progress bar.....

Hello,
I am working on an application which is taking time to load. Now I want to use a progress bar to tell the user of the application that It is taking time to load. How to do it... I read the Java swing tutorial and went through the example. Please tell me what to do. Because I am unfamiliar with Threads and I am not using thread anywhere in my application.

You are using threads. All Java execution occurs on threads. Write a Java GUI and you're in a multithreaded environment - there's no way out of that.
If your "application is a complex one" then you would be better advised to understand threads than to try and pretend that they don't exist. For a start, if you don't think you're using threads then you're destined to run in to all sorts of problems as regards an unresponsive GUI, as you're probably now finding out.

Display page load progress bar...

I have a page which takes about 50-60 secs to load and I want to display some kind of progress bar indicating to the user that the page is loading. This page is a pop up page with a report returning a lot of data. I searched the forum and most of the progress bar examples are related to a button click event. However I want the progress bar to display before the entire page has been loaded.
I really need to get this done fast and any kind of help or suggestion will be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Carl,
I have a similar issue to the one 'user549354' listed.
The application in this case is single page application with a couple of report regions, one of which takes about a minute for the query to return the result.
The example listed below by you, and another one I have found by Vikas, both fire a javascript-redirect off a button... The related forum posts are:
Long running process/query
Re: Long running process/query
but if you want the processing page off the initial url, this is not possible.
Yes, you could workaround it by showing a button on the initial page which the user has to press to see the processing page ... but that is not an ideal solution.
I am not very familiar with javascript, and have tried the following alternatives unsuccessfully
1) Using a url to a different (intermediate) page (say page # 2) which has a display as text item that renders the animated gif image, with following source
Please wait...
<img src="/i/processing3.gif" />
in combination with different types of processes (on load/after regions/after footer) which redirect to my original page (say page #1) by doing the following
begin
htp.init;
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:1:::');
end;
This does not show the intermediate page at all, just waits until the actual page loads.
2) use the display as text item mentioned above, and in the region source (html region) using the following:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="2;URL=f?p=&APP_ID.:1">
The problem here is that the animated gif becomes de-animated after the the number of seconds set in the code, in the above case 2 seconds.
3) using the page header and footer javascript mentioned in the links off your post, and trying to fire it from a url type region using the following codce
javascript:html_Submit_Progress(this);
This fails with error – object does not exist – presumably because this needs to be fired off an item – wonder if it will work off a link.
4) Various other permutations and combinations of the above…
You have mentioned in your last post on this thread that an intermediate page could be called, that will fire the progress bar, and then redirect to the slow loading page.
This is seems to exactly what I am after – with the url of the intermediate page being the initial url with which to access the application.
The problem is that I do not know
a) where or how to fire the relevant javascript [javascript:html_Submit_Progress(this);] from, besides a button press, and also
b) how to (then and only then) re-direct to the slow loading page, so as to ensure that the animated gif is displayed… using any of pre-submit process (on load… after footer) prevents the page and the animated gif from rendering.
I am sure that this is very much possible… any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
Alex.

How to start and stop a progress-bar thread before/after the main thread

hi. I would appreciate any kind of help on my request.
I have this as my main() function
     public static void main(String[] args)
          SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
               public void run(){
                    Options op = new Options();
                    OdessaClient oc = new OdessaClient(op);
                    oc.setVisible(true);
     }Whenever I try to start a simple JFrame with an indeterminate progress bar on it just before the main function and stop it somewhere after I get a StackOverFlow error
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.StackOverflowError
     at java.awt.Component.show(Component.java:1302)
     at java.awt.Component.setVisible(Component.java:1253)
     at com.client.CylonBar.hide(CylonBar.java:25)
     at java.awt.Component.show(Component.java:1302)
     at java.awt.Component.setVisible(Component.java:1253)
...and so on...How must I implement something like it?

Not precisely that way, but just off the top of my head, you would have to have a handle to the proccess (server) in the first window, then have a monitor program that allows you take this handle and end it. I would make this monitor program be the gateway to starting and stopping your server. To run a .bat file you can use runtime.exec().

OS hangs at loading progress bar when restarting after Security Update

I've searched for other people who have had issues with the Security Update, but my issue doesn't seem to have been solved. Here's the story:
Just installed the new Security update. Shut the computer down for the night, started it up, and halfway through starting up it restarted itself again. It got past the grey Apple, the blue progress bar started loading, got to the end, but doesn't go anywhere. I've let it sit for 15 minutes, but no progress. The internal fan sounds like an airplane taking off, it just keeps going faster and nothing happens. Tried rebooting in safe mode, but it got hung up on the grey Apple and spinning wheel of death.
Anything I can do from the Terminal to fix this?
Thanks guys!

cPants:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have your tried:
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Good luck.

Hey Michael,
Check out this thread on changing the loader:

Short answer is, not in Flash Catalyst right now.
But you can change it in Flash Builder with a little coding.

OSX 10.10: Is it normal to have a loading progress bar at each startup

My MBP-13 (Mid 2010) has become very slow on startup and each time I start (from cold or re-start) it has a "process bar" as if an update is loading, on the Grey Screen where previous to the update there was just the Apple Logo. This began when I upgraded to Yosemite. Admittedly, my hard drive is a bit full (51 GB remaining) and that could be partly to blame for the slower startup, I feel like something is not quite right since the update. Earlier today on the left pane of my finder window, there were 5 versions of this MBP under the "Shared" column (5 versions of itself!). I thought this was strange so I did a restart and while it did take care of the 'ghost' shared versions of itself, it was still slow to startup again, and the progress bar was there again during the grey screen part of the startup process, as it is each time the computer starts.
So My questions are:
1. Is it normal to have that progress bar during startup with Yosemite when it was never there before the update?
and
2. What would cause this computer to show what I like to refer as 'ghost' versions of itself under the shared column on its own finder window left pane?
Thanks in advance for any wisdom you may impart.
Regard,
Capt Ron

1. Yes, the progress bar replaced the spinning gear. Haven't a clue why, but might be to mimic iOS devices ( I don't have any, so can't check).
2, Can't answer, since I share nothing.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Are you referring to a LabVIEW horizontal/vertical progress bar, which basically has a U8 integer constantly written to it? Is this in a loop as it fills up?
If so, there is an entire palette that allows you to play waveforms. As you're writing to your progress bar the number, you can keep checking what that number is (event or case structure), and when it hits particular values, you play particular sounds. Here is a screenshot of that palette.
