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

    It happens even on this page if I stop typing or moving the mouse.

  • 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/

  • "View Content As" sticking after I mouse away

    Hi, I wonder if someone has had this trouble before and if they have a fix?
    For some reason when I click on 'downloads', for instance, in my Dock the resulting Fan appears and then sticks and will only disappear if I click on another area of the screen. This is happening whatever setting I choose (grid,list or fan) and was wondering if its some plist file I need to trash or theres something more substantial I need to do.
    Sorry to ask but after a while on a new machine when little gripes start coming in you know its time, instead of accepting them, to get them sorted out.
    Id be grateful for anyones help however brief

    Your signature shows you running Tiger, so if that is what you were running earlier, then yes, in Leopard it works differently. In Tiger, there was only the list view, so clicking and holding the mouse button brought up the list until you released it, like a menu item. In Leopard, since there are now multiple views, clicking and holding the button just brings up the option menu for the fan, list, or whatever until you release it, otherwise the fan, list, or whatever view stays open until you click on something. The "Open in Finder" item in Leopard would be the equivalent of single-clicking the Dock icon in Tiger.

  • 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

    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

  • Firefox stops working when mouse stops on page.

    Firefox stops processing data, downloading, and/or playing videos when mouse stops moving. If I click outside Firefox window, it resumes, or I have to keep moving my mouse.
    I reloaded Firefox and Flash, to no avail. Internet Explore works OK.

    hello, this is unfortunately a known regression in firefox 25 that is affecting a small portion of users, for reference please refer to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=933733 bug #933733].
    your best option is probably to downgrade to firefox 24 at the moment until the issue gets resolved.

  • Firefox is locking up VERY frequently after every few seconds unless I minimize the window and maximize it again. But then in a few seconds it locks up again, unable to click anything or DO anything

    Firefox is locking up VERY frequently after every few seconds unless I minimize the window and maximize it again. But then in a few seconds it locks up again, I am unable to click anything or DO anything and it is becoming extremely annoying! Ya'll just released a new version that I'd hoped would have fixed this issue, apparently not...and I also can't select an option in a drop down box, I have to use my keyboard to do so...

    Every time Firefox opened

    Yeah I'm seeing this as well. A force quit and relaunch seems to solve the problem for a while.
    IMHO the app has just gone downhill in the last few years. Useful tools like browser history from the back button are hidden / rendered useless (click and hold doesn't work so well from a track pad), and it's performance just isn't what it used to be.

  • Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps.

    Hi. Whenever I go through one of the menus in firefox, the links remain highlighted after my mouse passes over them. Is there a bug fix for this or is there something wrong with my computer? I am running windows 7 if that helps. This problem started ever since I upgraded to version 5.

    I have downloaded and used the iPod Reset Utility, alot that did. My current state is iTunes on my XP Home with SP3 sees the iPod. When I drag a song to the iPod, the Sync message appears for about 5 minutes, then the Apple symbol appears. But no song has been transferred to the iPod.
    I tried to tap into the XP iTunes database from my iBook, but although it acted like it would add the XP library to the iBook library, it did not. I've got 19 Gs of songs on the XP. If I have to load each song from its original CD to get it on my iBook I'm going to start looking for some other app or device so that I can listen to my music.
    It is a shame, in the old days, Apple techs use to look at what was going on, now it appears they don't, so they never know they have problems until Apple's profits fall.

  • Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
    I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

  • Opening attachments goes to firefox downloads ,after a few days i click open and it won't open

    opening attachments goes to firefox download, after a day I rt click to open and it won't. What do I have to do to get it in my computer download file. It is not going there either.

    Do you have any cleanup or anti-virus software that may have removed the files?
    If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location.

    Thanks so much Anonymouseuser. This fixed it. Ironic that the plugin Firefox used to prevent freezes actually causes freezes. This so fixed my problem. http://www.technogadge.com/how-to-stop-firefox-plugin-container-exe-process/

  • Firefox exits after I drag mouse to upper right corner

    Recently I've had Firefox completely exit without asking me anything when I had my left button click down and was moving the scroll bar upwards and accidently jerked my hand up to the corner. I use windows xp and a two button scroll mouse.

    upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

    Do you have any security software that might be getting in the way? Firewall? Anti-virus?

  • Firefox doesn't load a page or GIf unless I am moving the mouse

    Firefox won't load any page or play a GIF unless I am moving the mouse or typing. I have the latest version of Firefox. It happens every couple of times I use the computer, and the problem keep occuring if I just restart Firefox. Any ideas?

    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.
