I have to keep moving my mouse to get pages to load

every couple of months firefox will stop working and pages wont load unless i am constantly moving my mouse and in order to get it back to normal i have to uninstall and reinstall it

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why do I have to keep moving the mouse to keep a youtube video from stopping? I already have Firefox 27.0.1.

I googled the problem, which seems to have occured in earlier versions of firefox, but I am still having this problem and am in 27.0.1 which seems to be the current version.

Please ensure that all of your plugins are up-to-date by running the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
If that does not fix the issue, please try disabling both the Flashplayer and Firefox hardware acceleration.<br>

I have to keep moving mouse for items to upload to photobucket

When I list an item on Etsy and upload the photos or upload photos to photo bucket I have to keep moving the mouse or the upload stops. This was not an issue before the new version 4.

if you want to, i can also try to guide you through it. it shouldn't be that difficult, but will require a bit of time.
* first you'd have to download and install (confirm all setup steps & click close once the process is completed) the the tool from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe
* then open windows explorer and navigate to your C:-drive and then the ''mozilla-build'' folder. in there you'll find a file named ''start-l10n.bat'' - just double-click on that.
*in the black terminal window that opens, type in: ''easy_install mozregression'' & hit enter
*once this process is finished, enter ''mozregression --good=2013-06-24 --bad=2013-08-05'' into the same window.
*now the process will automatically download browser builds from the time the error first occurred - just wait until a firefox "nightly" window opens and test if you can reproduce the bug there. then close the browser windows and enter ''good'' or ''bad'' into the terminal depending on if you got the error this time.
*this process will continue automatically until the exact date is found when the bug was introduced in the browser - the window will then display a so called regression window and a pushlog. this is the critical piece of information we'd need, so developers can take over and start fixing what's going wrong...
*you can then close the terminal window and delete the ''C:\mozilla-build'' folder again

It is only happening since I upgraded to 4.01
It happens even on this page if I stop typing or moving the mouse.

Symantec have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US

When I click full screen for Youtube. The video studders but doesnt if i keep moving the mouse.

This problem emerged when Firefox 5 downloaded. Now when I put a video on any site on fullscreen, the video will stutter. But the puzzling thing is if I keep moving my mouse, the video loads fine. I really need help.

I can't believe this hasn't been fixed yet. I am a flash developer, and I just spent about 20 trying to debug a fullScreenController class that I am writing because I couldn't figure out why going to fullscreen mode was completely blank.
Turns out it is the stupid plugin update!!!! By turning off video acceleration my code worked. 20 hours of my life that I will never get back. Thanks a lot Adobe!!!
Now, can you fix this so that people who use my software don't waste 20 hours of their lives, or should I just put a comment on my product that says, "If you want to view this in full screen, right click and deselect "video accelerator because Adobe has an error and refuses to fix it because they are retarded."
Spending time to try and solve complex puzzles is good for the brain. Stems off Alzheimer's I'm told.
But a simple search of the Adobe knowledge base would have saved you 19 hours and 55 minutes of your precious time: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/839/cpsid_83952.html

Whenever I go to a site or click anything, I always have to move my mouse for the page to load, why is this happening? (When I go to a site full of images, I move my mouse a little bit at a time and it loads one image at a time)

Hi, Tom.
FYI: You've not stated which of your listed Macs is having the problem. However, the following may help in any case:
1. Did you install Front Row using the Front Row hack on a Mac that did not ship from the factory with Front Row installed? If so, See my "Uninstalling the Front Row hack" FAQ. This has been known to cause a variety of problems, including the menu bar (Clock, Spotlight) issues you noted.
2. If you did not install the Front Row Hack, an incompatible or corrupted Startup or Login Item may be partly to blame for the problems with the menu bar. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
3. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
4. Re: Safari and Mail, if not sorted by any of the above, see also:• "Safari: Blank icon after installing Security Update 2006-002 v1.0."
• My my "Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch" FAQ
Good luck!

When I click on an action, nothing happens unless I keep moving the mouse pointer. This has only happened since I upgraded to version 6. Interestingly, the some situation is with the "SafeCentral" software.

This happens every time I click on a button or text that does something like, after entering some information then clicking on say, a button to "Continue". The screen freezes and the little symbol on the left hand side of the tab stops rotating, but starts as soon as I move the mouse. If I stop moving the mouse the screen freezes again. I also have installed on my computer the application, '''SafeCentral''', which I know uses Firefox. This problem has only been encountered since I updated to version 6 and also when SafeCentral update the Firefox version they use.
Wired or what!
Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
Regards
Michael Murray

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I think you have identified the problem straight away, well done!
I first encountered the problem a couple of months ago with an update on Safe Central, (protected environment) software. SC uses the Firefox browser. I won't insult you by explaining what the program does, I'm sure know better that I. I didn't have this problem with Version 5 of Firefox, so I conclude the easiest way to solve this issue would be for me to uninstall v. 6 and reinstall V. 5. As I only use SC for online shopping I can live with this miner irritation. I also notice the Trend Micro Toolbar, though it appears on the Firefox screen, does not monitor the web sites or check email addresses.
So the TM boffins also have a problem with V.6, but I wager they aren't aware of it yet. Just in closing, I also use Chrome and Internet Explorer that work perfectly well. The problem defiantly lies with Mozilla.
Kind regards
Michael

My Mac keeps randomly scrolling down in various software and i have to unpaid and repair mouse to get it to work again.

When trying to work, my MAC suddenly starts scrolling to the bottom of whatever i'm working on - Word, Excel, Outlook, Safari. Batteries are fine. Have to unpair and pair the mouse to get it to work. Not a problem, but when i have to do that 5 times in 10 minutes, not acceptable. Also, the "i" button on the keyboard doesn't work sometimes. Both are wireless MAC products.

okay, you know this is for the Mac pro (desktop mac) rather than the MacBook pro, right? That being said, sounds like you have a problem. Turn off your screensaver, if it's on. if it's a hardware problem, eg the GPU, then take it in. If it's software, try running disk Utility and repair permissions. Failing that, get out your original install dvd's, boot up from them, and try "Archive and Install"

Why do I have to keep restarting iPad 2 to get emails to download when I am successfully connected to three blips of at home wifi ???

Why do I have to keep restarting my ipad2 to download my emails even though it is connected to my home wifi perfectly, Internet is working, but the circle just spins constantly and won't update ??? It is very frustrating !!!

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Sometimes my download "freeze", but when I move and keep moving my mouse cursor into the small download window it runs again, if I stop moving it, it stops. So instead of keeping moving my mouse endlessly I choose to restart Firefox and then it works.

this occur with megaupload download (which represents 99% of my downloads)
And this occur from time to time maybe 1 every 20 dnloads or more, and maybe when this happens I have 4 or five windows opened. I use FF4 but with version 3 I had the same problem.
It feels like a bug
Thanks
Joey

Right-mouse on the Synaptics toolbar icon to bring up Mouse Properties, select the Device Settings tab, press Settings to bring up Properties for Synatpics ClickPad, on the left open Pointing... Sensitivity... Palm Check. This is a feature to prevent accidental touchpad movement by your palm while you're typing. So it prevents use of the touch pad when keys are directly used.
Good luck!

Lately, firefox sticks after a mouse click unless I keep moving my mouse

I can click an icon and watch the moving circle indicating action. It will often be stopped until I move the mouse. Stopping the mouse stops the circle and moving it starts the circle again. I am using Windows 7 32 bit and Firefox 7.0.1
It does not happen in IE. I'm not sure how long it's been going on but just noticed the connection between the mouse and circle movements today.

For me I had to disable the new java add on. the one that is Java Console 6.0.24

I am looking for a doc station to place in the back of my computer so I don't have to keep moving my computer. Does any one know where I can find one?

I am looking for a usb/station (I don't know what they officaly call it) to plug into the back of my computer so that I don't have to continually move my computer in order to plug in my devices. Don't know where to locate this device in order to buy, any help would be appreciated.

Google for a USB Hub, there are thousands.

Navigation button on wrong side of screen!!!!! To scroll, I have to keep moving from side to side to go back and scroll. Move the back button to the right side!!!!

I should be able to navigate back and forward using a button on the right side of the screen. This is where I scroll up and down from so doesn't it make sense to have the back and forward button there!!!

You can move the buttons around, see [[how to customize the toolbar]].

After the last update, on 9/9/11, my firefox only moves when the cursor moves. In other words, in order to progress from page to page I have to keep moving the cursor around. IE does not have the same problem.

This only started happening after the latest update on 9/9. I am using Windows 7 and Firefox 6.0.2

I have to keep restarting AirPort Extreme to get it to connect!

I have the AirPort Base Station and for some reason, it keeps disconnecting and wont show up in list of networks. The only way to get it back up is to unplug it and plug it back in. I have to do this multiple times a day now. Is this a problem for anyone else? Also is there any way to fix it? Thanks!
Message was edited by: zpkoah

I too have this problem. It started out of nowhere when I had my old AirPort base station. I switched to the new AirPort Extreme and the problem continued. It happens with or without a HDD attached to it.
I've seen this problem in other discussion groups but haven't seen any good solutions. An Apple genius suggested that it is caused by having different computers connected to the network. I have a Mac (powerPC), a Mac (Intel) and a Dell PC all using the same AirPort. When the connection disappears though, they all lose connectivity. Restarting it doesn't do the trick all the time or it may take several restarts.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
