Laptop Mouse touchpad doesn't work with Firefox 4

Previously in Firefox 3, I could use the touchpad on my laptop to middle click, and scroll. Now it won't work with Firefox 4. When I try to use the scroll feature it registers the mouse as scrolling, but the page doesn't move at all in Firefox. When I try to open a link in a new tab using middle click it shows the auto scroll but even then the orientation is wrong as well. When trying to close a tab using the middle click it shows the same left to right auto scroll instead. It works fine with a normal mouse, but with a touchpad it doesn't work at all. I have also tried using drivers to fix the problem, but that was not the issue.

well, if you stick to firefox 4, then i'd say, well, babylon in my memories, it offers a online prompt method of translation, supporting tens of languages, similar to google translate webpages, the url is http://translation.babylon.com/ you can keep firefox 3.x and 4.0 in the same time in your windows. firefox 3.x to 4.0 update is not compulsory, so use the one you feel good with.

Fn + F6 to lock/unlock touchpad doesn't work with Windows 10

Hello,i have G580 i'v done an upgrade from 8.1 to windows 10so i'v have a small issue with touchpad :Fn+F6 to lock touchpad doesn't work when it was working as well in 8.1scrolling line at touchpad doesn't work to. so how to fix it, or will lenovo release drivers for windows 10 as she did for previous windowsis getting newer driver from elantech or synaptic website will resolve the problem ? cuz i did install 8.1 driver elantech and keyboard+mouse stopped working before reseting windows 10 upcoming driver. Best regards.

I have the same problem. Untilthey update the ELAN driver I go in to Settings, Devices, Mouse and Touchpad, Additional Mouse Options and disabel the ELAN driver. You can still turn it back on with Fn F6, but you have to go through the same steps again to turn it off. The nice thing is, it doesn't go back to enabled after awhile when you havent' been using the laptop.for awhile as it did before. The bad side is it takes about half a dozen key strokes to get to he disable. Hope this helps for now.

The wheel of my bluetooth mouse (Thinkpad laser mouse, wireless) doesn't work for Firefox.

I am using Thinkpad laser mouse (bluetooth). The wheel works for msn, IE etc, but doesn't work for Firefox.
I have checked with agent via live chat. None of the configuration regarding mousewheel is bold (under about:config), but then there was some problem with internet...
What should I do? Thanks for the kind help!

Uninstall the "mouse suite". Worked for me.

Middle mouse button doesn't work in Firefox

On my Lenovo Thinkpad the middle mouse button, that scrolls a web page up and down, doesn't work in Firefox only. In all other programs (including IE) the scroll function of the trackpoint middle button works fine, but in Firefox not at all. One solution described at Firefox is to edit a pref for a "ui.trackpoint_hackenabled" parameter, and I did change that value to 1, and restarted Firefox, but NO luck.
I'm using 4.0.1.

Nobody got any insights?

Comcast email doesn't work with firefox 26. I can't get a full inbox, get to my preferences to change, drop downs need to use arrows to get to

firefox 26 doesn't work with comcast email. won't keep me signed in; won't show whole inbox in either full or lite; won't allow me to get to preferences; drop downs only work with arrows. I could just keep going.
Earlier this week they worked fine.

Be sure to delete the login.comcast.net cookie, it is not near the other comcast and xfinity cookies.

Google toolbar doesn't work with Firefox. How to Fix?

The Google toolbar doesn't work with my current version of Firefox. When I went to update, the Google toolbar was removed and I can't get it back. How do I fix this so I can still use Firefox?

Google needs to update the Google Toolbar program for Firefox 5.0.
The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.

MobileMe preferences button and menu doesn't work with Firefox 4 on Mac OS X 10.6.6

When I login to my MobileMe account I have two buttons on the top right of the page: Preferences and My Account name.
Both I can select but when I do I cannot press either one of the menu entries that show. So I cannot change anything or create folders in iDisk for instance. All did work on Firefox version 3.6. It also works on Safari.
What settings do I have wrong? I like Firefox more than Safari.
Thanks.

You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

Window.close doesn't work with Firefox

I have used the code from the followinging reference on OTN to close my window:
Closing brower window
It works fine for IE, but not for Firefox. How can I make it work with Firefox?

Hello,
I use a couple of steps to get windows to close in Firefox. Firstly, I set win=top and win.opener=top, as below:
function closeWindow()
win=top;
win.opener=top;
win.close();
But more importantly, you need to set a Firefox preference setting:
Locate your Firefox preferences file - in Windows XP/2000, the path is usually C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\, where xxxxxxxx is a random string of 8 characters. Open the file prefs.js, and add the following line to the end of the file: user_pref("dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows", true);
Which is a bit fiddly, but the best way I've found so far...

The Google Toolbar doesn't work with Firefox 5 and all my bookmarks are saved in the toolbar. How do I go back to version 4?

Unfortunately any enhancements that you've made with FF5 don't outweigh the loss of my bookmarks in the Google Toolbar. How do I go back to FF4?

Install the following Add-on until Google releases a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5. Most Add-ons that worked with Firefox 4 should still work with Firefox 5, but the developers need to update a line in their Add-on's code to indicate with which versions of Firefox the Add-on is compatible. The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

Facebook doesn't work with Firefox 28.0 + Flashplayer 12,0,0,77

Hey everybody,
first of all let me tell you the specs of my system:
Laptop:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Acer Aspire 7745G Laptop
Intel i7 Q720 @1,6 GHz
4,00 GB RAM
Browser:
Mozilla Firefox 28.0
Flash Player Version:
12,0,0,77
Problem:
So the Flash Player and Firefox just updated like 1-2 days ago and after that Facebook didn't work anymore. As you might know Facebook just refreshed its design so I think that they're now using some kind of Flash for their layout.
Well no matter what Facebook is using, I only get a white screen with no Layout, here's a screenshot (By the way, I just get this error with the new Firefox, Chrome works with no problems):
In addition to that all other video streaming pages like youtube couldn't load its videos. Firefox always displayed this message:
I was waiting for about 10 minutes, after clicking on "Continue", then I closed Firefox by force with the Taskmanager.
This message always appeared when I was trying to watch a Flashvideo on Firefox, no matter which page (Youtube, etc.).
When I clicked "Stop Plugin" of course the Flash Player crashed. And it showed me this message instead of the video:
Reloading the page or clearing the Firefox cache didn't solve the problem. I also cleared the Flash Player cache in the Flashplayer and the Macromedia folder as it is described here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_6__Remove_ Flash_Player_cache
So after that I deinstalled Firefox and the Flashplayer, reinstalled them and restarted my laptop.
Now the videos work fine, but Facebook still isn't displayed correctly, I can still only see the white screen which I showed you above.
This is how my plugins page looks like:
So brief summary:
Problem:
New Facebook + Flash videos doesn't/didn't work
What I already tried:
1. Reload the pages
2. Clearing Firefox Cache
3. Clearing Flashplayer Cache in the Flashplayer and Macromedia folder
4. Updating/Reinstalling Firefox several times
5. Updating/Reinstalling Flashplayer several times
6. After that rebooting Laptop
7. Testing Facebook on Chrome and it works in that browser, so either Firefox or Flashplayer is corrupt/faulty
Status Quo:
Facebook still not working
Videos now working on every page (after reinstalling and rebooting the laptop)
Please don't give me the advice to just change browsers, I have Chrome and it works, but I still like Firefox more and I would be very grateful, if somebody could help me solving this problem.
I tried to be detailed as possible, but if you still need further information feel free to ask me.
Best Regards,
Kahzel

Ok, I solved it now. The problem was the Adblock plus Add-on which blocked all facebook contents.
I just tweaked the filter to allow all akamai.net content, then it worked.
So to sum it up Adblock Plus was the reason why noting worked, I don't know why the videos crashed though, but this issue seems to be fixed, too so I don't have any other complains.
So what did I do to come to this conclusion?
Disabled all Add-Ons
See if the problem still occurs
Activate Add-Ons one by one to see which one causes the problem
Look up why the Add-On is causing the problem and how to fix this
That's it. Thanks for reading my post

Bug? Mouse wheel doesn't work on Firefox and Chrome when added an application skin

I added a customized skin to make the background of Flex to transparent. The skin is created by the "new file wizard" and only changed the "backgroundRect" 's alpha to "0".
It works with no problem in IE8.0.6001 and Opera11.6 but doesn't respond to any mouse wheel event in FireFox 11.0 and Google Chrome 17.0.963.79.
Is it a BUG?
The flash player's versions are: IE:11.1.102.55; FireFox:11.1.102.55; Chrome:11.1.102.63; Opera:11.1.102.55

I opened a new Flex project and then tried again. I finally found that it's not a problem of flash but div rendering.
It seems Firefox and Chorme don't pass mouse wheel event automatically if div layout is set to "absolute".
Although this is not a Flex issue, any idea of passing that event to flash will be appriciated. I haven't find a way to do it so far :-(
What I'm doing is editing the "index.tamplate.html" to test. I added a div to contain the div of "flashContent" and set it's style to:
    position: absolute;
    top: 150px; left: 150px;
    height: 250px; width: 250px;
    z-index: 10;
Another div's z-index is set to 1 to test the overlay effect.
The reason why I added a div to contain the original div of flash, is I cannot figure out a way to effectively edit the CSS of the "flashContent" div.
Any help will be thankful!!

Restore Firefox bookmark backup doesn´t work (with firefox backup tool 1.0) Help :-(

Hello, i have a big problem with restoring my Firefox bookmarks and passwords with " Firefox Backup Tool" Its a "....fbk" file.
My laptop had some problems so i made a new system set up. Backup with "Mozbackup" didn´t work.( Error message) so i used "Firefox Backup Tool 1.0" for backup all my bookmarks. The program said "backup succesful" and i got a 12mb ..fbk file. But when i tried restoring it, it says "restore successful" but there is nothing in Firefox when i start the program and look for the bookmarks. :-( I tried it over 10 times and older versions.. Firefox 23 or 3.6 etc.... nothing works.
Can someone help me to get my bookmarks back? Or can i open the jpk file manually and copy it in firefox?
thanks.
Anna

Flash player doesn t work with firefox

hey every body
after a lot of tries ,the version 11.8.800.168 doesn t work properly
a good down load ,good installation without error message but youtube doesn t detect the plug in ?
i check and it s installed :just a remark :the plug in weights about 6 mo installed and i downloaded 16mo ?
and if i try with IE9 to compare:surprise the video is good but no sound
perhaps a good idea will arrive ,but it s not very easy
bye

Thanks for the assistance Chris. I tried the 11.7 option without success. I downloaded the 11.7 file, I closed all browsers, used the flashplayer uninstaller, restarted the CPU, installed the 11.7 (with auto updates disabled). Restarted Firefox, tested a Flickr video, same "no-play" results.
However, after doing the same thing and downloading the Archive version http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.75_archive.z ip I was able to play the Flickr videos! WooHoo.
I completed the update process to the latest version, and now the videos play properly with the latest version!
Not sure what the bad actor was, the 11.7 version did not fix it, but the older 10.3 version did!
Thanks to all for the assistance with this pain in the arse issue.

Equium A100-060 touchpad doesn't work with Vista SP1

Hi, my touchpad doesen't work in Vista with SP1. If i use Vista or any other operating systems the touchpad works without any problem.
The driver installed on Vista Sp1 is the last available.
How can I solve this?

Hi!
Did you disable the touchpad with FN keys?
On my Satellite L300 its FN+F9
Do you have yellow marks in the device manager?
Did connect an external mouse and does it works?
Bye

I use a browser application called Changepoint...a project time recording tool. It does not navigate to the project folders or interact at all using Firefox, only IE. What do I need to ask the tech team to troubleshoot why it doesn't work with Firefox?

See question. I'm assuming that I or them are missing something with the handshake once the basic appl is launched. The Changepoint appl does launch in the browser...it just doesn't function when you get into it, e.g. clicking on a hyperlink on the screen doesn't launch a sub-appl/module to show project folders. It doesn't crash the browser or window, it just doesn't do anything.

Check with Changepoint support and ask if that application is made to be compatible with Firefox, and which versions of Firefox it has been tested with.
