How to stop automatic scrolling (vertical or horizontal) found on web pages.

I'm not talking about the auto-scroll feature of firefox.
Many web pages now have horizontal or vertical sections which auto-scroll, it might be "breaking news" or stock prices...
Most people are not bothered but I'm Attention Deficit (ADD) and they are as irritating and distracting to me as a dog would be tugging on my pants legs.
In short I find them extremely annoying, and only a few sites have a "pause" or "off" button, which I think is rude.
Firefox 4; WinXP, I use Adblock +, and Flashblock.
What can I do to selectively remove, hide, or cause them to cease scrolling.
Thanks

Could you please provide more specific steps to reproduce this issue? I am unable to reproduce what you just mentioned.
You can also try safe mode:
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Hi, While writing an email online using Firefox 3.6.3, I was using one of the "CTRL+left or right arrow" to move the cursor along the text. I must have pressed some other key because the display has become huge - and I can't scroll vertically or horizontally, which makes using the Mail pages of Hotmail impossible. I have since logged in using MSFT Explorer and it works fine. This problem occurs only on the Mail page of Hotmail Live not on the home page or others.
Could you please let me know if this is a problem with Firefox, or if you have any advice on how to reset the appearance of Hotmail in Firefox?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== While I was compiling an email in Hotmail Live

Wow, lightning fast and absolutely right!
Thank you so much!

How do I automatically capitalize the beginning of each sentence in Pages?

Hello there!
Please help...
How do I automatically capitalize the beginning of each sentence in Pages version 5.2?
The old version of Pages (Pages '09) automatically capitalizes the first word of each sentence. But in Pages 5.2, I have to manually capitalize the first word of every sentence. How can I make this automatic?
The options in Menu > Format > Font > Capitalization, do not show an option for sentence capitalization. Please help. Thank you!

Feature removed from Pages 5 along with over 100 others,
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages 5 is a disastrous beta pushed onto users, and misrepresented by Apple as an "Upgrade".

Another method is tosave your Word document as an a web page. Then open the htm file, copy the text and paste into an HTML snippet on your web page. Resize to show all the document and publish. It will retain the style, font and alignment of the original Word document.

How to Stop automatic file saving on IPAD Adobe Reader 11.2

How can stop my PDF document being saved with the fillable form data when being using Adobe Reader 11.2 on an IPAD - the file is automatically saved when the user returns to the document folder. The original pdf file was created from a Word document and then text,signature and date fields added using Adobe Acrobat XI and saved using Standard Save function. I am trying to achieve my users completing the template form using the IPAD and then emailing it. However each time the form is filled and emailed (which all works fine) and the user returns to the "documents" folder, Acrobat Reader 11.2 automatically saves the file with the form data

I think the iPad forces a different way of thinking. In general, you don't have to save files on the iPad, and that's important. The iPad has complete liberty to quit an app when you want to run a different app, or just because it feels like it. When you restart a good app, things are as they were when it was quit.
Resetting is a possibility, but remember that because of this automatic quit/automatic restart it might happen when you don't want it. A reset BUTTON seems entirely possible.

Scrolling vertically versus horizontally

Is there anyway to change the view of a book in iBooks so that I can scroll vertically from page to page instead of horizontally?

as2 is easier.
create a horizontal scrollbar in the authoring environment
and convert the scrolltrack and slider into movieclips with their
registration point at their left edges.
assign an onPress handler for the slider that initiates the
slider's startDrag() with parameters set to the left edge of the
slider track (0) and the right edge (slider track's _width minus
the slider's _width) and initiate a loop that repeatedly updates
your image's _x property based on the slider's _x property.
finally, assign an onRelease handler to stopDrag() and
terminate your loop.

How to undo Firefox 5 in Win 7 and in XP? Generally, how to stop automatic Firefox updates?

How to stop automatic pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi"?

Everytime I open Firefox I get the irritating pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the Font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi" on the volume, the font is not installed. I installed the font, but I still get it.
The window gives me options "Do not ask again" "Show in Finder" "Don't Allow" "Allow".
I click "Do not ask me again" and "Allow" but I keep getting this every time. How to stop it?! Thanks.

See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=567552 Bug 567552] – Fonts on External drive are activated by Firefox, and preference to not ask again is ignored

How to Stop Auto Scroll

In iTunes when the track changes it automatically scrolls to the song that has begun to play. For example, when listening to an album in the full music library, if I am editing details to a different album or just scrolling through the list, when the song I am listening to ends and goes to the next song, iTunes interrupts what I am doing and scrolls to the new song. Is there any way to prevent/disable this?

When editing info if you use the right click then get info option you will not be interrupted on editing.

ITunes Store window automatically scrolls back to the top of the page

Hey gang -
I have a problem that is really quite funny except for the fact that I am so frustrated I could cry.
Computer/software: MacBook OSX 10.4.11 with iTunes 7.6
This just started on my Macbook: I open the iTunes store and when I try to navigate down the page, the second I "let go" of my scroll the window immediately scrolls back to the top of the page. This seems to be happening on all pages in the iTunes store. No other program seems to be affected, neither is my library within iTunes - just the store. This happens when I use the trackpad, the scroll bars and my bluetooth mouse.
I can't get any iTunes content beyond the height of my Macbook window! It is maddening!
I have closed and opened iTunes several times and rebooted twice. Any other ideas?
Thank you!

Hi There
I had the same problem and im using iTunes 7.6.1 (9)
The problem seems to be related to what kind of firewall your behind.
The network I'm on at the moment is very strict and will not allow anything else than www basicly. So I connected to a different network via VPN and use it as my default gateway. iTunes stops scrolling back after I connect to this network (a restart of iTunes might be needed). And I think this is the only place that iTunes has acted up. Think it works fine at my home lan.
Hope this helps and that you haven't thrown your mac out the window!

How can I get the status bar back on my web page

I want to get the status bar on the bottom of the web page so that I can slide from left to right if an article is too large for my monitor. I had it this morning 1-5-15. After checking out Thunderbird as an option for my email, the bar disappeared after uninstalling Thunderbird. I know about hovering over the web pages I have on my menu bar, but I would rather have the entire bar at bottom of page.
The gray bar shows up in my email only. I would like to have it on all my websites.
Thank you.

Does the scroll bar appear if you maximize the window or possibly switch to full screen mode via F12?
You can try to open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize the window in case the current window is too high and the horizontal scroll bar falls off.
Try to open a new window in case there is a problem with the current window.
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted xulstore.rdf file.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

How to obtain table data that is hidden from a web page source?

Hello!
I have been trying to obain table data from a web page without success. The data can be copy and pasted from the web page but it can´t be found in the web page source. I prefer NOT to use automated mouse clicks to obtain the data through CTRL-A, CTRL-C and then to the Clipboard ( I know how to do this but it is not so elegant :-) ). I tried to get the data automatically with the following code: (See snippet)
I have also looked at the existing solutions in the forum for Loging in to a website but the difference here is that I am just interested in getting out the data from a Table (form or element? I am not so familiar with HTML nor JAVA)
Any tips are appreciatted.

Get Web Table Data example.png ‏53 KB

The trick is to get the current html of the page and not the source - the source will not render the javascript of the page which is what loads/populates the table. It's the difference between inspecting an element in Chrome and viewing the source.
You'll need to see if there's a method/property that returns the 'live' html document object model after the Javascript has populated the table rather than the source of the page.
You may also have more success trying to replicate the same method the webpage uses to actually load the data..it probably makes a request to a page which returns the scores information in a more 'raw' format rather than having to parse out the html elements yourself.
(Also as an aside - Java is not the same as Javascript - one is a compiled language and one is a scripting language).

How to make a tabbed panel in fireworks for a web page?

I know fireworks is not the best place to make a web page. I have to use this because it is a mockup for school. i have the tabs up and each state made in each tab i have the appropriate tab merging with the content area. I also have 3 other states I have created for each tab. first problem i am having is that when I click on state 2,3 and 4 I my content disappears including my master page and all of my other content I don't know how to make it show like it does in state 1. my second problem is I don't want to slice the hotspots to make the tabs. I just want to make the hotspots navigate to each state is that at all possible? or do I just have to slice it? the reason I don't want to slice is because the instructor does not like it when we slice content don't ask me why.

Searched for a solution and I found a video tutorial about this:
