Momentarily stops working when shift key is used to type in capital Letters

I've been using Firefox for an year, when ever I try to use shift key to google something or type something in capital letters firefox momentarily stops and resumes after 45-60 seconds..!
I'm using the latest version of firefox 23.0.1 but, the problem still persists.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

    How do you get the message:
    * Firefox crash dialog
    * (NOT RESPONDING) on the window title bar
    * Windows dialog
    Could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions, disable hardware acceleration of graphics, disable the JavaScript compilers, and disable some custom settings. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • CC Ball Action stops working when I try to use a mask

    Using AE CS6 on mac os 10.7.5.  I'm trying to use CC Ball action to make a cool particle animaation.  In order to do the animation I'm trying to create I need to use a mask.  Every time I use a mask the cc ball action stops working.  It's still in the timeline and shows to be visible but the image is unchanged.  Even if I delete the mask the effect remains invisible.  In order to get the effect to work again I have to delete it and re-apply it.

    You are in the layer viewer and have to pick what to view in the pop-up in the right bottom corner...

  • Photoshop elements 11 stops working when i try to use collage please help....

    As per title

    Hi
    I am having the same problem as dbobby.
    The error message shows up quite quickly, you don't see any of the layout outlines being created.
    I have tried all of the solutions listed on this stream of posts and none of them have helped.
    I had PSE11 installed on a Win XP machine and I have talked to a friend who has PSE 11 installed on a Win 7 machine and going to the 11x8.5 composite layout caused the program to crash in both cases. So it appears this is not an isolated problem.

    Yes but there's no point doing it here. As the Terms of Use make quite clear this is a User to User forum. It's Users like you talking to other Users. It's not a channel to communicate with Apple.

  • I needed to install a previously purchased CS6 versus on new computer. To do this, I had to download a version from CC. I will not be using CC. How do I activate Photoshop under my license so that it does not stop working when I am out of communication ra

    I needed to install a previously purchased CS6 versus on new computer. To do this, I had to download a version from CC. I will not be using CC. How do I activate Photoshop under my license so that it does not stop working when I am out of communication range a month from now?

    The CC version will not activate with your perpetual CS6 license. Download the version from here:

    Your number should work with this version.

  • LabWindows/CVI 2013 SP2 stops working when I try to open a file using the project file menu.

    I have windows 7 on my system and sometime late last year I starrted getting a Windows dialog telling me that LabWindows/CVI has stopped working when I try to open a file from the project file menu.  I also get an error when I run a project debug mode and use a selectFilePopup in the code.  The error says, "The program has suspended execution at address 0x75D5025E.  No source line information is available."  I've tried removing and reinstalling CVI to no avail.  Any suggestions?

    Constantin,
    Thank you for your response.  I've attached screnshots showing the version details for kernal32.dll and ntdll.dll.  I also looked at the updates to see which might have been installed when the problem started.  Unfortunately there are 15-20 updates every month.  I didn't take note of when the error started to occur.  At first it only affected my ability to open files from within the project (i.e. file->open->Source, etc).  Then I went back to modify a project that had a SelectFilePopup and found that that wouldn't work either.

  • IPhone 5 data network stops working when using GPS

    Hello,
    I have a strange problem for some time now. The DATA connection in GPS apps stop working when navigating. When I use Google maps or WAZE apps the first time after rebooting the device, everything is working just fine for first address search, but after beginning the navigation, DATA network disappears only for the navigation app, browsing is working just fine (a bit slowly, but fine).
    Tried to factory reset the device few times, and changed the carrier provider, didn't help
    Any ideas???

    ALways love my iphone. Now itunes is ALWAYS unresponive to my iphone. Just stops working when I plug it in. downloaded older version, newer version.....use my iphone for my pdf book in college.....this is just ridiculous....

    Downloaded older version and newer version of what. Any attempts to downgrade iOS are not allowed. Also, using iTunes with the latest iOS and iTunes requires the latest version.
    I suggest that you remove and reinstall iTunes using this support document. You need to follow the steps exactly or you will just create more problems, which I think you already have. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
