Macbook trackpad curser not showing in firefox

Hi, I have this problem with the curser on my macbook.  When I use Firefox it just disappears.  I seem to be still moving around the screen but I just can't see the curser.
It seems to be just Firefox but it means that effectively i can't use Firefox which is annoying as I can only use my Infusionsoft a/c in Firefox.  Its not just the infousionsoft screen however where this happens.
I have only noticed it fairly recently.  Please help.

Hmmm, strange one, what FF add-ons do you have?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

    iCloud is only available in Lion, 10.7. You will have to upgrade to Lion in order to get into iCloud. If you transfered a .mac or .me address to iCloud through mobile me, or you have another device iCloud enabled, then you can log into the iCloud.com website.

  • New gesture trackpad options not showing up in Lion

    Why would the new trackpad options not show up after upgrading to Lion and downloading all of the updates? It's not as easy to get between full screen apps without the ability to swipe.

    2008. That's probably why. I didn't realize that it only supported a couple years back. You'd think they could fix something like that in the software...

    Adobe Reader if always free. Acrobat requires a purchase.
    Also Acrobat X has different UI, there is usually a floating toolbar that can be used to open the full toolbar.

  • Macbook pro 2010 not showing hdd in disk utility but shows the same in usb

    Macbook pro 2010 not showing hard disk in disk uility but same hdd shows when connected to usb original drive, also installed new hard disk 500gb, same result, but connected old hard disk of 500gb shows in disk utility and also able to installed os on it, tried installing lion 10.7 on it with the original and new hdd but not shows in  disk utility pls help for this problem

    I'm kind of experiencing the same issue now.
    A few days ago, when starting up my Mini, I would get a warning that the system didn't recognize the drive with the option to ignore. I hit ignore and all seven drives would mount. Because I have seven drives attached, I had no idea what drive was giving the warning.
    Today that drive failed to load up at all. I ran disk utility and after several tries, it said repair was successful yet the drive will not mount.
    I'm currently running recovery software on it to see if I can copy everything from it to another drive. It is a fairly old drive, about 3 years old so it's time is short.
    I don't have any suggestions but mine does show in disk utility.

  • Video and audio players will not show in Firefox. Players show in Safari and Chrome. (Mac computers). Do I need a plug-in?

    Tested on 3 apple mac computers:
    Mac Pro, Mini Mac and Macbook Pro.
    Each computer running Mountain Lion and Firefox 11.8.800.94
    Video and audio players not showing on website (video player is JWPlayer)
    Error on video player placeholder says 'No video with supported format and MIME type found'
    When the same site is access via either Chrome or Safari then the video and audio players show with all of the controls.

    You get this error if the video tag is used and not an object or embed tag that specifies a Flash player.<br />
    So this doesn't look like a problem with the Flash player as it is most likely not used in this case.<br />
    If there is fall back code to use a Flash player then it isn't working.
    Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • My Macbook Air does not show up on my network to any of my other computers, Other computers on my network appear and disappear, some shared folders are not accessible

    My Macbook Air with Lion does not show up on my network to any of my other computers (PC's) , even though it is connected to my wifi and does access the Internet. In addition, my other computers sometimes show up in Finder and sometimes they're not there. Sometimes they do show in Finder and when I click on them, I get "Connection Failed", other times, they connect. Also some shared folders on those other computers, which are PC's are not accessible, even though fully shared. My network is Apple Airport Extreme and works perfectly otherwise, including all PC's being able to see each other. Help would be much appreciated

    I got the same problem. I want to access my shared folder on my home windows7 from my MBA. Tried many suggestions on the web but all to no avail. I thought that should be very trivial. Maybe a Lion bug?

  • My Macbook Pro does not show up on my TV.

    How do I make my Macbook Pro show up on my 40 inch Samsung HD TV if I have tried everything in the Help menu in Displays in System Settings?
    I restarted, tried every resolution, gathered windows, detected displays, and everything but my Mac still does not show up on my TV.
    I have also tried to change the settings for my TV but still it says that there is no signal.
    I used a Belkin mini adapter to HDMI and I also used the Dynex version. It used to work fine once but it does not work anymore.

    If the same MBP using the same connections to the same TV with the same settings on both the MBP and TV used to work, it appears there is a hardware problem. You might want to try a different TV or different MBP or different connectors.

  • Image only viewable in Safari. Does not show in Firefox 3.0 (OS/Windows), IE7&8

    I used an index template .dwt and inserted a logo header image.
    Using Browser lab it renders in Safari but not in Firefox 3.0 for both OS/Windows, IE 7&8, and Chrome.
         Using FILE-->VIEW IN BROWSER, which is Safari it is fine.
              A friend used FIrefox and IE7 and the image did not show or same results as Browser Lab.
    Orginial code:   <div class="header"><img src="../pictures/logo_header.jpg  :  Safari good, other browsers did not show image
    2nd try: Code:  src="/~sanchezg/pictures/logo_header.jpg", This time Safari did not show header image either.

    What are your thoughts?
    Thank you

    I'm troubled by these answers because they seem to further muddy the water.  Here's the important concept -
    All links in the TEMPLATE file should be one of three kinds -
    1.  Relative to the template file, e.g.,
    <a href="../ (meaning that you must go up one level from the template folder
    to reach the root of the site, hence all other files, since none of them
    should be in the templates folder)
    2.  Relative to the site root, e.g.,
    <a href="/ (meaning that one would begin looking for the linked file at the
    root of the site and follow the pathing from that point)
    3.  Absolute, e.g.,
    <a href="http:// (meaning that the link is to a page external to the site).
    Seems that none of the suggestions are putting you on that path first.

  • Why is my site Title not showing in Firefox?

    Hello
    On my site at http://fbibiz.com/, the page Title flashes briefly in the Title bar, but then reverts to 'Mozilla Firefox'. The title tag is in place (correctly as far as I can see).
    Any suggestions, please, as to why my page Title is not showing correctly?
    Thanks,
    Jon

  • A div in a site am developing is not showing in firefox but shows on all the other browsers (chrome, safari, opera and explorer), can anyone help?

    i am developing a site and i used divs in making the arrangements.
    all other divs on the page shows but on particular one does not show.
    i gave all the divs a border with a red color, all the other browsers(explorer, opera, chrome and safari ) shows the divs with the colors but firefox does not even show the red color

    Can you post a test case demonstrating the problem? It doesn't need to contain confidential content or active links. (This forum doesn't handle raw HTML very well, so I don't recommend pasting code here unless you convert your angle brackets to HTML entities.)

  • Web gallery images not showing in Firefox

    I have just created a web gallery in Adobe Bridge CS4.  I had it working perfectly in all browsers and now all of a sudden the images are not showing up in Firefox. Anyone else have this problem?

    If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
    *Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.
    Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the <b>permissions.default.image</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Edit > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.
    See also:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • Trackpad option not showing up when controlling AppleTV with iPad

    I just linked my iPad with my apple tv (1st gen). I´ve been controlling my Apple TV with my iPhone without any problems. Connecting the iPad was not a problem. But when I launch choose AppleTV within the remote app, I just get access to my library. The trackpad option does not show up. Without the trackpad, the remote app is useless. Anybody had this problem or know if there is a solution? I have watched a few videos on youtube, but I never got the original choice between how to controll my Apple TV, and the trackpad icon does not show up in the buttom right corner.

    A few days after I had my problem, I tried again - and everything was working!  I had not done anything in the meantime.  It is possible I restarted the iPad, but I did not at least make a manuall restart of the Apple TV nor my airport.

  • Topic headings not showing in Firefox, with RoboHelp HTML version 8 WebHelp

    1. I have just upgraded a customer's Help project to RH8, with a WebHelp layout.
    The finished WebHelp Guide works fine in Internet Explorer 8.
    But Firefox 3.0.1.5 (latest update) does not show topic headings (style Heading 1) where they are automatically linked to the Topic Properties > Topic Title.; i.e. the topic heading is a Field {Title}, using rh-variable_start name="title" etc. Firefox only shows the topic heading if the heading exists as text in the WYSIWYG field.
    I checked a backup copy of the compiled WebHelp that I had generated using RoboHelp HTML version 7, and this works OK - all topic headings that are fields display OK in Firefox.
    2. Also, some images (.gif format) do not display in Firefox that is generated by RH8.
    Any ideas, anyone?

    Hi,
    Note: All I post here are my findings. I didn't test all DHTML effects and I'm not a javascript guru, so I may be wrong.
    As far as I can find, this behaviour is defenitly a bug, although  it's not related to headings, CBT's or images. This is what I found:
    Whenever you have multiple DHTML-effects that kick in on load, Firefox only displays the one that is defined first in the topic. In the bottom of the topic, you'll find a script like this:
    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">//<![CDATA[
        if( typeof( InitEffects ) != 'function' ) InitEffects = new Function();
        InitEffects('img1','x-on-pageload: fadein();');
        InitEffects('h11','x-on-pageload: fadein();');
        InitEffects('h111','');
    //]]></script>
    In this case, the image with id img1 is loaded first and displayed correct. All subsequent effects (heading with id h11) is not displayed. Putting the heading in front of the image will show the image, while the image is not displayed.
    I suspect that the effects are not correctly parsed into
    if ((gbBsNS6)&&(srcObj.addEventListener))
            srcObj.addEventListener( noOn.toLowerCase(), new Function("event", newHandler ),false);
    on line 2994 and 2995. Changing or deleting line 2995 effectively removes kills on load effects (ie not showing anything with an on load effect) as expected.
    If you also use DHTML effects and find the same behaviour as Philip, please post a bug report.
    Greet,
    Willam
