I don't see a way to stop a page from loading. There is no "X" in the tool bar like there used to be, so how do I do it in Firefox Beta?

When I change my mind about loading a page I don't see anyway to stop it from building or to cancel the action. I tried to research "stop" at http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu%20Reference?s=%22url+bar%22&as=s#w_stop regarding the main window reference menu but nothing of what I read there seemed applicable. It appears "Stop" is supposed to be under "View", but I did not find it there. Please help! I want a simple click of the mouse action to prevent a page from loading!

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
Firefox 4 has two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.<br />
The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.<br />
<br />
You can drag the Bookmarks menu button with the drop marker in the Customize window from the toolbar palette on a toolbar (e.g. Navigation Toolbar or Tab Bar or to the left side of the Bookmarks Menu Items).<br />
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the menu bar is hidden.<br />
If the bookmarks toolbar is visible then the default bookmarks menu button will appear on the right hand side of the Bookmarks Toolbar as part of the Bookmarks Toolbar Items.<br />

  • How to stop a page from loading?

    Does anyone know if there's a way to stop a webpage from loading (i.e. before it finishes)..? This page, for example:
    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/gameflash/2011/06/04/36460_recap.h tml
    When I click on the "X" (or type Cmd+period) i want to cease ALL communication with whatever website is in the address bar. I don't want periodic updates, i dont' want animated ads to finish loading, i don't want my screen rearranged.... nothing. I WANT TO TERMINATE ALL CONTACT WITH THAT WEBSITE until such time that i might click on "reload".  And i should be able to do this without having to yank out my ethernet cable.
    This may be a more general problem that applies to Firefox as well. 

    Huh, i didn't realize the escape key did something different than Cmd+period. It seems to work but i'll have to try it with some of the peskier websites.... Thanks.

  • "View All RSS Articles" Sometimes Stops All Pages from Loading

    Hi!
    I'd like some help with this:
    Sometimes, when I view a whole lot of RSS articles in one tab, the content stops loading after one hundred or so articles have come in. After this, no pages will load -- not even a local html file in my home directory.
    These message appears in the console:
    2007-01-17 13:10:37.996 Safari[6634] * -[NSCFString stringByAppendingString:]: nil argument
    (event handler):Null value
    Memory and CPU don't seem unusually high. I can still close tabs, export bookmarks and do other things with the menus. I just can't load a new page.
    Quitting and re-starting Safari is the only way I have found around this problem.
    Scott

    Wow... thanks for trying out those feeds that I suspected. It's a wierd problem, because it does not occur consistently.
    I reproduced the error by viewing all RSS articles in my news feeds bookmarks folder, and I used "Start Profiling with Sample" on the Debug menu to create a .sample file, and I stopped profiling when the error recurred a few seconds later.
    This produced a ten-thousand-line-long file that may contain useful information.
    Here's the console log section:
    2007-01-20 16:42:11.587 Safari[227] starting sample tool
    2007-01-20 16:42:39.834 Safari[227] * -[NSCFString stringByAppendingString:]: nil argument
    2007-01-20 16:42:44.918 Safari[227] sample tool output written to /tmp/SafariSample-2007-01-20-164211.sample
    The file is at
    http://homepage.mac.com/eyesquash/tmp/SafariSample-2007-01-20-164211.sample
    I also have excerpted my news feeds bookmarks folder, so if you like, you can try importing it into Safari and loading all of it at once (a bit over 1,000 articles). It's here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/eyesquash/tmp/news%20feeds.html
    I will try this from another account of my machine. I'll also try it from another account with Safari running in its messed-up state on my main account.
    You know, this would not bother me much at all if it weren't such a nice feature when it works. Most Apple things are like that for me: great when they work, and they usually work.

  • Yahoo is my home page and now that I have downloaded your latest version, as stated in a note from you the tool bar is incompatible. So....how do I print or save a web page if I don't have my tool bar!! I'm not happy with this - please help.

    You've moved stuff around so the tabs are at the top instead of my tool bar. I no longer have the means then to copy and paste, print, etc. when I pull up information I might want to keep from a web page. When I downloaded Version 4 a message came across from Firefox that the newer version is not compatible with the Yahoo toolbar. How then do I operate these functions? I'm not a techie, and was happy with my old Firefox. Not a happy camper now. Can you help???

    iPHP
    Wow! You know, I tried a variation of that, which was a complete guess, and of course it was absolutely wrong.
    I had no idea you could stack DATE_FORMAT one after the other! I researched this for a LONG time and nothing came up like what you suggested, so thank you for this! I hope that this thread helps others who are or will soon be in my shoes. This forum is the BEST!!!
    And of course, it works like a charm. Thank you.
    Many incredibly sincere thanks,

  • When I try to load ABC news I get the error message that says Firefox stopped this page from loading. Do you want to allow it? Of course I do, or I would not have gone there. It does not do this onother pages. How do I make it stop?

    It consistently does this when I try to read ABC news and when I try to go to my bank's web site. I am getting real tired of this. This message will pop up over and over even after clicking allow. How do I shut this off it is really annoying.

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • Is there a way to prevent specific pages from being printed by a viewer to the site?

    Any ideas?

    There are many ways you can do this, but I wont recommend this because even after you disable browser print, users can still use screenshots or print screen etc.

  • How do you stop game center from loading, How do you stop game center from loading

    iPhone 4 _ iOS7
    I have never used Game Center. However, most times when I open a solitaire game that I purchased on iTunes having 0 to do with Game Center, Game Center (obnoxiously) loads and asks that I join or login or whatever. Altough I hit cancel, that is not sufficient. I have found no means in Tools to disable Game Center.
    Is there no way to stop Game Center from loading??? (behavior same in both OS 6 & 7)

    The me.com website is not designed for or intended to be accessed by iOS devices. Apple provides support in iOS or seperate Apps for accessing all aspects of MobileMe except for the Accounts section.
    Use MobielMe as intended and you'll have no problems.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1673
    Even if you use a different browser to get access to me.com on iOS, you'll find most of it is unusable.
    Other websites that present you with the mobile version have been programmed to do so by their developers. They specifically look for users accessing from 'mobile' devices and switch to the mobile site. Many such sites provide a link to go back to the 'full' site, if not, there's not a lot you can do except use a browser that can pretend not to be a mobile browser.

  • I don't see any way of configuring a web server in 10.9; this was always present in previous releases.  How to I set up a website on OSX 10.9.1?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard, where performance was great on my Mac Mini, to Mountain Lion, where performance is so bad that I'm now attempting a clean-install of Mavericks.  But, I don't see any way to set up my local website.  I don't see a Sites directory or any control in System Preferences to set up the web site.  How is this done in Mavericks?

    Yes, the functionality has departed System Preferences. Here is an updated guide to jump start your solution. It deals with the Terminal solution below.
    There are two approaches to launching a web server in Mavericks.

  • I have a new Iphone 4S with my new Apple ID, Itunes and Icloud are both linked to that Apple ID.  However, when I try to upload Icloud from my new phone, it pulls my old Apple ID, an old email I no longer use.  I don't see a way to change it.  Help?

    I have a new Iphone 4S.  It is linked to my new Apple ID, as is my Itunes, Itunes Match and Icloud.  HOWEVER, when I try to upload Icloud on my actual phone, it pulls my very old Apple ID....an email that is no longer in use.  I don't see a way to edit or change it to the correct Apple ID...is there a way to do that?

    If the apple id being used by iCloud isn't the one you want, go to settings > icloud > delete account. It doesn't actually delete the account, but it removes it from your device so you can put in the right apple id

  • Is there any way to stop an app from updating?  I accidently hit update all, and have an app I don't want updated.

    Is there any way to stop an app from updating? I accidently hit "update all" and have an app i don't want updated.  Thanks

    you can't reverse the process, once you accepted there is no other way, if you sync it to your itunes library in your computer it will automatically update the updated app as well.
    What you can try though is delete the app from your iPad and try syncing it to your itunes library but if you set up iCloud it may update the app automatically

  • .  It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is the iphone or my mac (shows 82 modifications).  I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone.  Also, I don't see any way to do the syncy

    I'm having trouble with a sync alert.  It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is my iphone (3G) or my mac (shows 82 modifications).  I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone.  Anybody know the default device and if it can be and if the other can be selected if desired
    Also, I don't see any way to do the sync on an individual entry basis for calendar.  Looks like it will only do all of them at once.  I'd like to go through them one by one to confirm which entry is correct.
    Thanks
    PS This message ("Syncing with [OWNER'S NAME] iphone will change more than xx% of your calendars events or todos on this computer) only started when I recently updated my OS.

    Maybe you should get new friends.
    I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
    If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
    iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
    This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

  • How do I get a refund?  I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails..  I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.

    How do I get a refund?  I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails..  I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.  i really just want my money back.  Very disappointed.  Also disappointed that it is so hard to find a way to communicate with Adobe that I have to resort to asking this question in this forum. 

    You need to use the CHAT link in support to reach Adobe staff. Be sure you know the product name you are trying to cancel, Adobe have lots of products, several converters etc. I think it is ExportPDF you have, most likely.

  • HT1390 I just rented a movie on itunes but I don't know how to make it play.  I clicked out of itunes and now when I go back into itunes, I don't see a way to play the movie I just downloaded.  Help.

    I am a new at this.  I just rented and downloaded a movie, clicked out of iturnes and now when I go back into itunes, I don't see a way to play the movie that I just downloaded ten minutes ago.  I just want to watch it on my laptop.
    Help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Vane_paranormal.
    If you rent a movie on your phone, you have to watch it on your phone, likewise if you rent it from the Apple TV you will have to watch it there.
    If you want to watch a rental on multiple devices, rent it from a computer.
