Mouse clicks not working: hyperlinks and closing tabs require multiple clicks

When I click on the "x" icon to close a tab the tab will not close. After clicking a second, or sometimes third time, the tab will close. Same thing happens with hyperlinks. Also, Firefox seems slow and lethargic.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • When a pdf file is opened in a tab, the automatic scroll function from the pad does not work in the other tabs, but only for the particular PDF tab.

    The scroll function from the pad/mouse does not work for the other tabs when a PDF file is opened.

    Hi NSHS,
    Have you checked to see if your PDF add-on is up to date? You should take a look at the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] Knowledge Base article. There is a lot of good information in there. You should try both of the suggested PDF add-ons to see if that fixes the issue.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • My apple mouse is not working.  The pointer will not move on the screen and it keeps turning off.

    My apple mouse is not working.  I can get it to connect but it will not move the pointer.  Left and right click is working, scrolling, just cannot move the pointer.  Also, I have replaced the batteries (numerous times) but the green power light turns off after a few minutes.  Any suggestions?

    How about clean up LED hole of mouse?

  • My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?

    Q.: My wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on my All-In-One computer?
    A.: If your wireless keyboard and mouse do not work even after changing the batteries, please try re-syncing them by following these steps.
    1. Make sure the computer is on, plug in the USB receiver. Push the button on the USB receiver until it flashes blue.
    2. While the receiver is still flashing, press the red connect button on the keyboard (Make sure the batteries are installed). The USB receiver should stop flashing after pressing the button on the keyboard. It may take up to 8 seconds to sync.
    3. Repeat the same process for the mouse. Push the button on the USB receiver, then press the connect button on the mouse (Make sure the mouse is on).
    Note: This applies to all MSI All-In-One computers that include the ES500W wireless keyboard and SW130 mouse.

    "This machine has an added 4 USB ports, could this be causing a problem?
    It definitely could be the source of the problem. Perhaps the PCI card was bumped loose during shipping?
    Have you tried removing the card? That's where I would start.
    Keep us posted.

    I just had the same problem. And I found the solution, on Youtube.
    The problem is that these ******** at apple designed the battery compartement, the distance between metal contacts too big.
    That means the batteries plus or minus poles are not touching the corresponding contacts in the mouses battery compartement.
    Most likely the battery doesn't get pushed up to touch the plus contacts.
    I used a fingernail to push the battery up and tadaa, the green LED came on.
    The guy in the Youtube video just put some folded aluminium foil under the minus poles for bridging the gap.
    See here, "How to fix the Apple Magic Mouse!":

    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.  Try making the device a favorite .

  • Just downloaded Yosemite and now the swipe feature on my mouse does not work. Why?

    Just downloaded the new OS onto my iMAC and now the "swipe" feature on my mouse does not work, i.e. I can't go back and forth between web  pages.  Is this a function of the new OS?

    What kind of mouse do you have? USB? Have you tried to plug it in - try all the USB ports (maybe there is a problem with one). It should automatically detect it.

  • Portg R500 - Blue Screen and keyboard mouse are not working

    Hi All,
    I am using windows XP, well I was not any more due to below problem.
    Laptop blue screened and now any time it goes to windows xp screen blue screen comes and reboot the system. Its not working in safe mode at all. Keyboard any mouse are not working. I cannot even go to BIOS.
    I tried to plug a USB keyboard but still its same. I cannot even boot from CD.
    Please could some one advise what do I need to do in order to resolve the problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey,
    How you can test it in safe mode if keyboard doesnt work? I mean before Windows starts you have to press F8 key and then go down to select safe mode. Therefore you need the keyboard
    In your case I would try to remove the battery and AC/DC adapter for at least one hour. Then connect both devices again and make sure battery is fully charged. Start your notebook and try accessing the BIOS setup and load the default settings.
    If Windows doesnt start you have to do a recovery installation I think. Some Windows files might be muddled up

  • USB mouse does not work

    hi All
    I bought a new HP laptop few days ago,when I installed Win7 pro on it after a few minutes, the usb mouse stopped working. Its light still lights up ,but the cursor does not react. The drivers of the device are installed and working properly. the mouse will
    not work until I click "scan for hardware changes"in Device Management . but when I restart the computer, it happend again . but win7 home edition seems does not have this problem. please help.  thanks  

    Hi,
    I suggest updating the latest BIOS and chipset from HP site, then reinstalling USB controllers to check the result. If any USB hub is used, please bypass it.

    Also, please perform
    clean boot, disable your antivirus and firewall
    temporarily to avoid any blocking. If the issue persists in clean boot, test the issue in Safe Mode and Device Clean boot.
    Device Clean Boot
    1. Go to Device Manager
    2. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers".
    3. Right Click on Audio device and choose disable.
    4. Please use the same method to disable other dubious hardware such as: internal modem, and CD-R drive. Please note some devices such as video adapter are not available
    to be disabled.
    5. After that, restart the computer and then test the issue. If it does not occur, you can enable the device one by one to narrow down this issue.
    After you found the device that causing the problem, you can resolve by installing last driver or replacing the device.

  • Mouse is not working properly on a one month old HP Pavillion 15-NO28US

    I'm sure it's already been talked about on here, but I haven't found a successful fix or the same exact problem as I'm having. I went thru the latest Windows 8.1 update recently (at least I think it was the update) and when I restarted my computer yesterday the mouse was not working properly. Like a lot of other people who are complaining about it, the two-finger scrolling and other similar features are not working, but what really bothers me is the the mouse is almost acting like it was changed to a left handed mouse. I've checked the settings and it is still set on right-handed, but when I click the left mouse button the small window opens up next to where I clicked, which has the copy, delete and paste options (and other regular options) in it. When I click the right mouse button, nothing happens. Double tapping on the touchpad doesn't do anything either. I downloaded and install the latest synaptic drivers and nothing happened. I even performed a system recovery last night to reset all setting and it's still not working. This really sucks because I've only had this computer for about a month and I've already lost everything I've put on it...most importantly all of my school work and music apps. Is there anything to fix this or can anyone tell me what's going on with this stuff, before I have to call into HP and have a melt down?

    Hi Kevin3047,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you!!
    I understand that after updating from Windows 8 to 8.1 your mouse is not performing correctly. You have tried the built in troubleshooter but to no avail.
    You checked the settings and they appear ok, but when you click the left mouse button the small window opens up next to where you  clicked, which has the copy, delete and paste options (and other regular options) in it. When you click the right mouse button, nothing happens. Double tapping on the touchpad doesn't do anything either. I grasp that you did a recovery but it did not help.  You also stated you lost your data once, and that in itself is extremely aggravating, I agree.
    Here is a step that may help.
    Go to the Command Prompt and right click on it to run as Administrator
    type sfc /scannow and press enter.  This will scan for corrupted files and try to repair them.
    Here are links to two documents that may aid with this process.
    Troubleshooting Mouse Problems (Windows 8)
    Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
    Would you also please try a clean boot to see if it persists. Here is  a Windows document to assist you.
    How to perform a clean boot in Windows
    If none of this has alleviated the issue, I suggest you do a  Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
    If the issue still pesists, I would do a recovery again.  You will be prompted during the recovery to backup your personal files to prevent data loss. I would suggest you choose yes, to prevent data loss.
    Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
    Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8)
    This will take it back to factory. Here is a document on Updating Windows 8 to 8.1 to assist you with doing the update again.
    If you are still experiencing the issue, as @visruth stated I would contact HP support for assistance.  They are able to remotely log onto your system to help with this difficulty.
    Please call HP technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region HP Technical Support Sitemap.
    Good Luck!!

  • Wireless mouse does not work

    my wireless mouse batteries formed buildup around them. Now my mouse does not work, is there a way to make it work after this happens?

    When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries, assuming the mouse is paired.
    Turn off the device.
    Remove the batteries,
    Thoroughly clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and on the batteries themselves.
    Replace or renew the batteries.
    Turn on the device.   You should get a steady green light if the devices are paired.
    Click the mouse twice to activate it.
    Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems.   Apple’s own brand, Duracell, Energiser and appear to be the best.

  • My mouse is not working correctly after upgrade to ITunes 11

    I upgraded to iTunes 11 for WinXP and now my mouse is not working correctly. No double clicks, no right button function and sometimes refuses to do simple left click options. What can I do?
    I've tried new mouse drivers and checking the settings in Control Panel but no joy so far.
    Driving me mad and taking me three times longer to do anything as I look for keyboard solutions.

    I'm facing the same problem too on Windows 8. No mouse clicks (just 'ding' sound whenever trying to click anything).
    I could work around it on Windows 8, but ultimately have to restart my PC to get back mouse functionality.
    I wasn't quite sure which app is to blame, but ultimately concluded it's iTunes 11. As this behaviour always concided with having iTunes running in the background for 15-20 minutes (usually listening to podcasts) and never seems to happen when iTunes 11 isn't running.
    Don't know what to make of this, I'm currently playing my podcasts through Windows Media Player instead. I'll hopefully try running iTunes 11 in Windows 7 Compatibiliy mode to see if that helps.

  • Ipad photobooth not working, shows curtain closing but camera seems to be off

    ipad photobooth not working, shows curtain closing but camera seems to be off

    Have you tried closing the Camera app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
