Losing control of browser

I am using FF 30 and lately it's been going out of control. Whenever I browse at some point it will suddenly start opening every link in a new tab and typing a simple entry triggers the hotkeys instead. The only thing I can do is close the browser and restart it, but after a while the process repeats itself.
I hope someone can help me solve this

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

Controling a Browser. Can anyone help?

I am currently trying to display formatted HTML through the use of Java. I know that the easiest way to display formated HTML is by opening the document in a browser using the clientAppletContext.showDocument method. This does not allow me to control the browser window. I know that Javascript allows you to have more control over the browser and would like to use it somehow through java but I'm new to java and I'm not sure how or what I need to do in order to do so. Can anyone help?

wimbishd,
I am providing some javascript functions that you can use that give you an example of how to control the window size, toolbar, menu, etc. I am a little unsure as to what you are doing with your applet. If you are tying to display your java code in HTML format, download textpad from http://www.textpad.com/. There is a plugin for it that will also you to convert your java code to color-coded html. Or, maybe you are just having your applet open up a new window using HTML that you created with your applet. If that is the case, you will need to code the javascript into the html. See sample below:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Sample</title>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

</script>
</head>
<BODY>
<FORM name="sampleForm" method="get">
<input type="button" name="action" value="Press Me" onclick="doButton();">
</form>
</body>
</html>I hope this helps,

EM FMW Control MBeans Browser and Sensitive Data

I have an MBean in my application that is used for configuration of the application.
This MBean has an attribute that represents the password for authentication to a back-end system that the application utilizes.
I have made the password attribute "write-only" so that the value does not appear in clear-text in an MBeans browser.
When I use the MBeans browser in the Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control console, I can not see the value of the password attribute (because the attribute is "write-only").
I want to make the password changeable from the MBeans Browser (i.e. I want EM FMW Control MBeans Browser to be my application's configuration front end), but as I type into the text field for the password attribute, the password value is in clear text.
Is there any way to force the EM FMW Control MBeans Browser to treat the text field for the password attribute as a "password" (i.e. masked) style input element?

No. Browser back and forth functionality and its history is browser specific.

Controlling which browser launches

I have a BES connected blackberry. When reading BES delivered emails using the Playbook Messages app, if I encounter an embedded link to a corporate site, the Playbook should launch the Bridge browser which is able to access the link. Instead, it launches the Playbook browser which cannot access the link. Has anyone discovered a way to control which browser is launched?

If you use the bridge without any WIFI, or tethering, it should open the bridge browser, otherwise it will open the WIFI browser

Losing control of input in browser - 2 laptops on same network

Hello Forum,
We have had a sudden worrisome problem. It has apparently been an off and on problem affecting my partner's MacBook Pro (purchased Fall, 2011) for at least a month now. The first time it affected my system (MacBook Pro, purchased last Nov 2012) was last week.
When log into the browser (Firefox on her laptop and Chrome on mine), and attempt to enter text in the Search or URL bar, the computer makes an odd noise - rapid alerts, really - and enters a series of characters. On its own. Very rapidly. The keyboard functions are disabled, and you can't do anything else even if you shut down the browser. The only way out is to shut down completely and reboot from a cold start.
Last week, on my system, the browser started scrolling rapidly down the page on its own while I was working in a Content Manager API to update a client's website. Again, I had to shut down.
It also makes a staccato noise, like a multiple beep beep beep BEEEEEP alert while overtaking the browser.
On her laptop, we had a devil of a time even shutting down the other night. But this is not an issue every time. Nevertheless, the issue affects her system more than mine. I am going to install an anti-virus
When it happened to my computer also, we felt it might be network related. We run an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5, a 2012 MacBook Pro and a 2011 MacBook Pro, and, very occasionally, an old Toshiba Windows 7 laptop on our wireless network. Our ISP assures us this issue is not network related.
I have an anti-virus program installed with definitions up-to-date and a clean full scan completed last night. My partner does not, believing Macs to be less susceptible to viruses than Windows systems. I will be installing an AV program in her machine.
Also...I am hearing that Macs are more vulnerable than they used to be, and that some of the new malware can hide and lurk, so it becomes undetected when AV scans are run.
I also have an Apple Care plan, by the way, if it is something else entirely -- our ISP suggested that conflicts can sometimes occur when you get updates.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

GetURL or javascript resolution? to controlling PDF browser

Okay.. so here is the scenario.
I am creating a CD that has a Flash projector. The Flash
projector links to PDF files located on the same CD. Everything
works great.. except that when you click on the link to open up the
PDFs, they open in separate windows. So you could have 8 windows
open at the same time for 8 of the different PDF files.
I have already tried to make sure that getURL targets _self.
This works if you publish the Flash file as an HTML instead of the
.EXE (projector). However, when you click "Back" on the broswer it
takes you to the first frame instead of the frame that the links
coincides on.
It's been suggested that either through actionscript or
javascript, to issue a command that will open up the particular PDF
in a new window. OR another suggestion was to add javascript to PDF
itself so that Acrobat would control the Acrobat Reader.
Does anyone know how I could go about doing so? or know of
any online resources?
Much appreciated.

Yes FlashJester JStart can solve this issue and only open up
one Window,
which will be the actual Adobe Reader application and not
viewing it through
a browser.
Download an evaluation copy of JStart from here
http://jstart.flashjester.com
and look at the example files given.
There are many FAQ there also.

Cache-control for browser in WL

Hi,
Is there way to remove the cache-control of the browser from property file?
I found someone suggests this method to avoid "page expire" message from
browser on the web but I can not found any setting in WL's property file.
Please help!
Thanks.
Eric W.

This cannot be set in the weblogic.properties file.
However you can set it on each of your .jsp or html pages
by manipulating meta tags.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="No-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="private">

Losing emails and browsing history since upgraded to Mountain Lion

Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I've been losing my emails and even browsed webpages. Everytime I restarted or boot up my MacPro, I would lose almost two days of emails and web browsing/bookmarks. Does anyone have this problem? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Bah simple answer, for some reason upgrading changed the balance option in system preferences. Fixed that and all is well

Controlling SimpleCenter - browsing and playing fi...

I use my N95 to remotely control a SimpleCentre server. When I have selected and started playing a file I can not go back to browsing files without the file that is playing being stopped. I've been in with SimpleCenter and they say it is the way the controller has been implemented on the N95 that causes this restriction rather than the SimpleCenter server. Is there any way around this or any plans to fix this in a future version? Many thanks.

Thank you!
My Mac Mini runs iTunes all the time, so the Apple TV's in the LAN can play music stored on the Mini. Normally, I don't play music directly from iTunes on the Mini, but many times I have logged in to the Mini only to find music playing when it should not be. I pause the music, and then sometime later it starts playing again on the Mini, seemingly all by itself. This has been going on for some time, and a real puzzle. I've tried various remedies, including making an empty playlist and opening it on the Mini in iTunes. Nothing I tried had worked, so I just turned the iTunes volume completely down, and lived with this "ghost in the machine."
It so happens my Mini lives in a media closet where one of the ATV's also lives (on the same shelf). My devices in the media closet are controlled via infrared transmitters inside the closet which, in turn, are controlled by RF via the Logitech Harmony 900 in another room.
It never occurred to me that the infrared signals sent to the ATV were also being picked up by the IR receiver in the Mac Mini (which I never realized existed and was turned on by default). I disabled the IR receiver on the Mini, and hallelujah! No more iTunes music mysteriously playing on the Mini itself inside the media closet!

Using javascript to control the browser

Hi all,
One of the most requested features on our first Breeze
project was a "quit" button. The easiest way to do so in an HTML
environment is to use the command
javascript: window.close();
Type this into the address bar on your browser, and hit
return. Isn't that neat?
Okay, the scripting language in Flash (Actionscript) can
simulate typing something in the address bar with the command
getURL ("javascript: window.close();");
...all we have to do is add that actionscript to the
onRelease event handler for a button in Flash. Then, add the button
to your PowerPoint before you use Presenter, and when the student
clicks it... voila!
This same trick can be used to replace that MacroDobe©
logo in the Breeze player. This time, when the user clicks the
button, we'll use javascript to pop up an alert box with a clever
message:
getURL ("javascript: alert('Aren't we clever?');";
This button has to be small, around 50 x 29 pixels, to
properly replace the logo. To actually replace it, you need to
publish your presentation to the hard drive like normal. Next, find
the folder you published to, and place a copy of your "button.swf"
file in the "data" subfolder. Then, edit (don't "open") the
vconfig.xml file in the same subfolder using notepad. Near the top,
you'll find an entry that says:
<uireplace name="logo" value= "" />
place the name of your button file between the quotation
marks and save:
<uireplace name="logo" value= "button.swf" />
When you load up the training next time, the logo will have
changed to your button.
You'll have to do this every time you publish the training,
as Presenter deletes & recreates all those subfolders each time
you do. BTW, MacroDobe© does offer a small applet to parse
this xml file for you... but they want 5 grand per copy. I'm
thinking notepad works just as well :)
cheers!

The biggest difficulty with a Swing Applet is that it needs the latest version of the JVM to run and many people don't have this installed on their PC. You can set the Aplet tags to download the plug-in but it can discourage users and may not always work. I would only use a Swing Applet for webapps with a limited client base.

Controlling a browser from java

hello experts,
i want to open an web dynpro URL in a browser and navigate through the URL , like putting values in the input box and click the buttons from java code .
Actually it is exactly like an automated test tool in java to navigate and render the given web dynpro URL with the test data given.
its very please help.
Regards,
Karthik

Hello Karthik,
I'm using Selenium to do something similar. You can find more information at http://seleniumhq.org/
The documentation can be found at http://seleniumhq.org/documentation/ and you can find a tutorial implementation for Java at http://seleniumhq.org/documentation/tutorials/
You can use a new Java Project to start using Selenium, just in case you feel confused.
I've been using Selenium for some time now, you will learn some tricks during the way. And you'd probably take a look on waitForCondition function, since you'd need some calls in order to wait for webdynpro ajax requests to populate tables (before doing your assertions).
Hope it helps.

Daniel

Control Safari browser tabs on laptop

Hello!
Anyone have any ideas how I could quickly change between tabs on my laptop using my iPhone? I like to walk around the classroom while I teach, but would also like to switch between webpages real quick so I can use AirSketch on my iPad, but also go back to edmodo and other miscelaneous sites for that day. I was hoping for something a bit more streamlined than a remote access to the computer solution, but perhaps there is one that is easy and quick to use on the iPhone?
Thanks!
-Josh

Hi,
My Private browsing is Turn OFF all the time.
After following the steps mentioned in the link provided by "@randers4"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5372
I was able to see safari tabs opened in the Mac on my iPhone. But the tabs opened on iPhone are not showing in Mac.
When I click the Cloud icon next the address bar all I see is "iCloud automatically Shows all the open tabs on your other devices".
Don't know what else to do.
Thanks for replying friends.

I am Losing Control of Tools..Why

I am having a bizarre incredibly frustrating thin happen....when i am working with a toool i lose control of it...for example in free transform when adjusting an image (finger held on control button) the selection will jump almost as if someone has bumped my hand while dragging....if i am using the spot healing tool after i click the correction will skidd across the image making a blurry streaky path...i have no idea why this is happening and it happens with increased frequecy...i keep having to step backwards...VERY FRUSTRATING!!! any ideas??
THANKS!!!!!!

One thing not mentioned:
Mouse buttons do get "dirty" and make intermittent contacts. Also, check the port at the bottom. Sometimes hairs and dust get in there and make things jump.
Try swapping out the mouse with one known to work on another computer to confirm or eliminate this as a possibility.

Applications moving to top left losing controls

When returning from a display sleep mode I find applications whose windows have moved to the top left of the screen and no longer have their controls or menu bar accessible. If I go to the desktop controls for the application and close the application and reopen it it opens normally and in the midlle of the screen. This works for most applications except for finder which Cannot be closed in this manner and I have to shutdown my Mac and restart. I have tried a few different things but have been unable to resolve the issue.
I have a MacBook Air and am running OS X 10.9. I use only the laptops screen and have no attached monitor.

Quicktime Pro - missing movie controls in browser plugins

When viewing QT movies in my browsers, I have full functionality except that the control strip is replaced with a black bar. Buttons do behave (the volume slider even appears if I click where it should be) but they are not displayed.
This occurs in both Firefox 2.0.1 and IE 7. It happens with QT 7.1.3 and also happened with the previous version (7.0.2 I believe).
My OS is WinXP x64
Mac Pro 2.66 Other OS Windows XP 64bit

Well... since the generic feedback form is the only other way to post any kind of information to Apple about QuickTime (incredibly short-sided for a paid "pro" product) we'll continue to post here regardless of whether it is "supported".
Quicktime Pro is an important part of my company's pipeline... which is also dependent on Windows 64bit (32bit just doesn't cut it for highly complex, high-resolution 3D rendering). There is no alternative.
