I have to keep my cursor moving in order for firefox to process.

If I stop moving my cursor, firefox stops processing. There is a new icon beside the tab title, that is a circle with a dot that travels around the circle and then circle turns green and rotates. Both these will stop moving IF I have stopped moving my cursor/mouse. I dont' have this problem in explorer but I prefer firefox. This just started the second day after I upgraded to newest version. This happens on every page, even logging into email or facebook, I have to keep the cursor moving in order for firefox to process and progress to the next page.

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

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Firefox will not continue to load unless I keep my cursor moving. How do I fix this?

    Firefox will not continue to load any request I have unless I keep my cursor moving. If I stop moving my cursor, it will stop loading my request until I move the cursor again. How do I fix please?

    i think the best option at the moment is to use the firefox 31 esr version: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/

    Where are iTunes files located?
    No, I do not mean just the music.  Copying just the media/music files or the media folder creates problems.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

  • I have an ipod, ipad, and iphone. ilike to use imessage on all of them but i dont want messages to appear on the devices i am not currently using. nor do i want to have to keep a saparate account or id for eCH OF THEM. WHAT IS THE FIX?

    i have an ipod, ipad, and iphone. ilike to use imessage on all of them but i dont want messages to appear on the devices i am not currently using. nor do i want to have to keep a saparate account / id for each device  how do i fix the settings on each so that with the same ID / login I can chech me emails, share contacts etc, be able to use i messenger on each without the whole conversation automatically beiing picked up by my other devices? some conversations just arent intended to be shared!

    Turn it into the local police department with an explanation as to who you tried to contact and what they told you. That's the only safe procedure, as otherwise the owner could report the iPod as stolen, even though you tried to return it, and get you into trouble.
    Regards.

  • When connecting Macbook Air to iMac, have to keep Macbook Air open in order to use the iMac as a display.

    When I connect my Macbook Air to my iMac with Thunderbolt, I have to keep my Macbook Air open or else the iMac does not sense it. I've tried closing it to just use the iMac as the display, but then the iMac goes back to its regular screen. Also, I have to control everything from the MBA keyboard and touchpad- my iMac mouse and keyboard suddenly won't work. How do I fix this?

    Hi there,
    Apple outline the steps to do so in the link I've posted below. If you need help with any of them, just shout.

  • When starting Firefox I get the following error: chrome://webvideodownloader/content/webvideodownloaderbar.js:172. I have to click on "Continue" or "Stop" button for Firefox to boot up.

    Hi,
    I started to get the following error every time I open Firefox. The message is chrome://webvideodownloader/content/webvideodownloaderbar.js:172
    I started getting this message when I updated to Firefox 5. Every time, and I mean this literally, I open Firefox the above message appears. A box appears in the top right corner. Strange thing is that the whole box doesn't appear and the error doesn't appear completely either. It is like half the box is cut off at the screen's edge.
    When this box appears there are two buttons: Continue and Stop. I have to click on one or the other for the Firefox browser to open. I looked at my plugins but don't see one with this location.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    That can be caused by clearing the cookies via "Clear Recent History".
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    * Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history" > [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
    * Firefox > History > Clear Recent History or Tools > Clear Recent History
    If you use "Clear Recent History" to clear the cookies then Firefox also tries to clear the cookies from plugins like Flash (LSO) and starts a plugin-container process for each plugin and that can add extra time and can cause an unresponsive script error to appear.
    Make sure that all plugins are up to date.
    Try to exclude the cookies to see if that helps.
    Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox to remove unwanted cookies and keep the ones with an allow exception.
    Make sure that you do not clear the "Site Preferences" as that will remove all exceptions.

  • Since updating to 8.0.1 I find I have to stop and reload pages in order for them to load.

    Every time I go to a site I end up having to stop loading and then reload a page before it will come up. I have waited as long as 2 minutes to see if the pages will come up. It especially happens when clicking on a link. The link can be from google or a web page. I did not have this problem before updating to 8.0.1

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    You can also try to reset (power off/on) the router.

  • Do I have to use another fitness app in order for the new health app to track my fitness? Or does the health app have its own gps tracking? It's not working for me.

    I have the iphone 6 ios 8.0.2. The health app hasn't worked for me yet. I have pinned things to my dashboard but it isn't updating anything. I curious to know if I need a third party app in order for it to track? Or if it is supposed to be tracking?

    The iPhone 6 has a built in M8 coprocessor that tracks steps. Start with the manual:

  • Why does my Verizon Iphone 5 personal hotspot sometimes not work?  I have to keep turning it on and off for it to come up.  This is a problem that I am having when connecting to a computer PC and MAC and a Ipod Touch and my Ipad.

    This issue is making me start to think that I have a defective peice of equipment.  It seems as though i have to restart the hotspot multiple times for it to work and when it does work it drops the device after being tether to it, and then I have to start the whole process over again.

    I HAVE RESOLVED THIS!!  The problem was that I was signed in to iCloud on my iphone with an old Apple ID and using a different Apple ID on my pc. I signed out of iCloud on my phone, then re-signed in with the same id as the iCloud on my pc. Presto chango. All is well.

  • Why do I have to keep saving my PDFs as enabled for commenting in Reader?

    As part of my review process, I create a PDF, enable it for commenting in Reader, send it to reviewers, receive comments back from them, reply to the review comments, and send it back to the reviewers so that they can see the replies and make further comments.
    Since I upgraded from Acrobat 9 to Acrobat 11, I'm finding that if I add any replies or comments of my own, I have to enable the PDF for commenting again before I send it back to my reviewers. Otherwise, the reviewers get a message that says, “This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. This document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available.” In Acrobat 9, I only had to enable it for commenting once, at the very beginning of the review process. It's really a pain to have to do this every time, and I often forget, since I didn't have to do this every time with previous versions of Acrobat. Is there any way to get around this?
    I also cannot find a way to create a new action that represents the menu path:
    In Acrobat 11, File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Commenting & Measuring.
    If there was some way to create an action for this, it wouldn't be so bad.

    It's often hard to determine the cause of the usage rights no longer valid. It happens when some sort of change is made other than those that are allowed. It can be due to font problems and other problems that Acrobat attempts to automatically fix.
    Adobe specifically prevent you from automating the process of extending documents with Acrobat.

  • I keep receiving the software update recommendation for Firefox 5.0 "strongly recommended." However, each time I attempt to download it, the download lasts for ever and is unproductive. What's up?

    I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. For the last few days I have received the Software Update with strong recommendation to download Firefox 5.0. However, each attempt to download fails....the progression bar just keeps stalling.
