Mouse hover doesn't show URL since I installed Firefox 4.0

Since I installed Firefox 4.0, when I hover the mouse over a link I don't see the URL anymore. All I see is a small empty white box under the pointer. I've tried uninstalling FF4, installing the older version, disabling hardware acceleration, and several other solutions I've found on this site, but nothing has worked so far. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer, but I don't want to use IE. Any ideas? Thanks.

You should be able to see where a link is going to take you on the Status bar at the foot of the page.
If you want a permanent status bar, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

  • ITunes' Taskbar-playing mode doesn't show itself if ObjectBar Installed

    iTunes' Taskbar-playing mode doesn't show itself if ObjectBar Installed and disabled. Stardock said that iTunes doesn't recognize Objectbar when I tell the Stardock support. The iTunes menu bar in ObjectBar won't appear unless you are using it with iTunes Multi-pluggin. Even with this pluggin. iTunes doesn't shrink into the taskbar as taskbar-playing mode. Stardock said that this feature won't be available unless Apple can recognize ObjectBar as a valid taskbar replacement.

    This is the message that I composed to Stardock Support about iTunes' compatibility on ObjectBar:
    Why ObjectBar disables iTunes taskbar-playing mode? when i install ObjectBar and I have already installed iTunes on my Windows XP PC with taskbar-playing mode enabled, I can't shrink the iTunes window into the taskbar-playing mode.
    And Stardock Support Replied at me:
    Hello Harry,
    ObjectBar doesn't disable this feature specifically. ObjectBar hides the Taskbar to reduce redundancy, but iTunes had likely been written to hardcode the taskbar-playing mode into the Windows taskbar and doesn't recognize ObjectBar.
    Unfortunately this feature will not be available unless Apple can recognize ObjectBar as a valid taskbar replacement.
    But I'm already tell these problems to Apple.

  • Old IMAC with 10.5.6 OSX. Forgot Administrator password. Started up from OSX install disc 1 and selected password reset from utilies in Installer. But HD icon doesn't show up. (Only install disc and admin root available:no good). What can I do?

    Old IMAC with 10.5.6 OSX. Forgot Administrator password (which I had already changed.) Followed instructions as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    Started up from the original OSX install disc 1 and selected "Password reset" from "utilies" in Installer. But HD icon doesn't show up. (Only install disc and admin root available:no good as the support website underscores: Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually the root user. You should not confuse it with a normal administrator account.).
    What can I do?
    Thanks for your suggestions. Antonio

    Not familiar with that version of OS X but try using Terminal and type in resetpassword. If that brings up a password reset screen is your original username shown?

    Several problems continuous since first installing Firefox. Personal google search settings don't save; remember me options on web sites like Facebook aren't remembered; Youtube and Flixy videos don't play despite removing/reinstalling/upgrading Firefox several times; upgraded the latest flash plugin today, but no difference, symptoms are black play box with youtube and white box with Flixy. Disbale AV and antimalware makes no difference either.

    I have a new problem with secondary web pages opening up without any action on my part other than simply moving the mouse pointer across the screen.

  • Since I installed Firefox 3.6.3, every time I open Google Notifier, two Firefox browser windows open.

    I am running Firefox 3.6.3 on my Mac G5 and my MacBook.
    Since I installed Firefox 3.6.3, everytime I open Google Notifier, two Firefox browser windows open. This happens on both of my computers.
    This never used to happen before, in the earlier versions.
    How do I make it so that only one browser window opens?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed Firefox 3.6.3 ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

    I got this all screwed up too.
    hmm.. where to start?
    3.6 and 4.0 beta - really aren't intended to play well together.
    As has been mentioned above, they tend to write over each other.
    I managed to get both 3.6.15 and 4.0 beta 12 on the same machine.
    But, I had to do it several times.
    I got lucky by deleting everything Mozilla, then installing 4.0b12, then 3.6.15 - while making sure that each installed into a separate folder.
    I also took care to copy out a couple of BookMark BackUp files - just in case.
    My old 3.6# had become so bloated - and, Unstable - for Me, it was time.
    The bookmarks were all that I was still interested in.
    All the Plugins, Themes, AddOns, etc... had slowed the app to a crawl.
    So, I did as complete a wipe of Mozilla bloat code that I could, including profiles.
    I then did some registry cleaning.
    Then I installed 4.0b12 and 3.6.15.
    I can't open them both at the same time.
    If I open 3.6.15 first, then open 4.0b12 - the beta comes up as 3.6.15.
    If I open 4.0b12 first, then open 3.6.15 - the 3.6 comes up as the beta.
    This has a lot to do with both apps sharing the same default profile.
    I hope to drop down to one app in the near future.
    So, cobbling multiple profiles in order to diddle side by side apps - isn't worth it at this stage.
    For me, I can't open FF 4.0b12 when my virus protection is running. PCTools doesn't like some thing about the way FF4.0 wants to phone home when it opens.
    So, I can't commit to the 4.0b12, yet.
    3.6.15 was crashing on open too - until I uninstalled the feedback addon. - go figure -.
    Also, I can't get the 4.0b12 to start in safe-mode with the PCTools antivirus running.
    At the rater they are going, I don't see 3.6.# going away any time soon.

  • Windows Media Player plugin has stopped working since I installed Firefox 4. I have the newest version of the plugin, worked fine with the previous version of Firefox. Any ideas?

    I have tried the suggestions on the help and troubleshooting pages including uninstalling and reinstalling plugins and Firefox 4. disabling the pop up blocker did not help either.

    I have had the same problem since I installed Firefox 4.0.
    Thank you for letting us know that The RealPlayer plugin conflict, was the source of this problem.
    Another way to fix this (for good) is doing the following:
    1) Click on "Tools">Options"
    2) Click on the "Applications" tab
    3) Search in the "Content Type" column, all the applications that start with the words "Windows Media." Click on the content that is listed to the right of each application's name and choose "Use Windows Media Player (default)."
    By doing this, Firefox will avoid using the Windows Media Player plugin and will open the corresponding application directly with Windows Media Player.
    I just did this and is working perfectly. Try it and let me know how it works for you.

  • Safari won't open since I installed Firefox.

    Safari won't open since I installed Firefox. I keep getting a window that asks me if I want to "Reopen" Safari in a large window that includes error messages, lots of them. I click on "Reopen" and a smaller window opens up with the same option to "Reopen", but Safari just goes back to the large window again; the one with all the error messages.

    Quit the application. Force quit if necessary.
    Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • Every since I installed firefox on my system my email has been compermised.

    Are you using Time Machine? If so, you should know that OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions make local snapshots on your hard drive. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
    It's easy to remove them by turning off Time Machine in System Preferences > Time Machine, but there's no need to do anything, as they will be deleted automatically when your hard drive gets full. Remember to turn on Time Machine again

  • Mouse hover doesn't produce preview in an application

    I use a Bible program called Logos 5. For months I have had an issue where my mouse hover over a reference doesn't produce a preview, but only in one area of the program - my personal notes.
    Recevied an email from the comany that said,
    That specific tool tip is one that we are relying on Apple to make a call back to us for it to appear. What this means is at some point you, or a piece of software you’ve installed, or changed settings from, has modified the Apple tool-tip settings which is, in this case, disabling that tool-tip. The fact that it does appear when you hold down a modifying key also points to the fact that this is a system setting that has been modified.
    Any clue what program or setting could have interfered? I do not have this problem on an older iMac with the same program & files loaded.

  • Ipod doesn't show in itunes, vista installed, also, thinks it's syncing...

    I really don't know what to put for a subject! Itunes and my ipod shuffle ran perfectly under Windows XP. I have a LOT of music successfully loaded (from itunes purchases and my own cds) on the 'pod. It plays fine. Problem is, computer bit the dust. I decided to upgrade to Vista instead of reloading XP (couldn't find the **** CDs to reinstall XP). Now, my ipod doesn't show up in itunes and I get that **** "ipod is synced with another library.. do you want to erase this ipod and sync with "this" itunes lib." box. "This" itunes library consists only of songs I've purchased from itunes.... none of the cd music is there. and the only option that itunes seems to be giving me is to blow away what's on my 'pod now and install the tiny library of itunes purchases. The wierd thing is, it's all on the same **** computer... just the OS changed (from XP to Vista).
    What I WAMT to do is somehow get itunes to see my 'pod and copy the music that's on my pod back into itunes where it all came from in the first place and put my latest itunes purchases (since changing OS's) on my 'pod. Jeeze. sounds so simple. Unbelieveable.
    tk
    TIA for any help.
    HP Pavilion 523n   Other OS   running Vista

    In iTunes, go to the File Menu and select the 'Add to Library' option.
    In the window that appears navigate to the folder that has all the music from the old version of iTunes (i.e. where the music is currently stored on your computer), and select the folder.
    This should then add all the music back into your iTunes (it may make a copy)
    You will now be able to connect your iPod and let it sync to the computer.

  • The google suggestions when I type in the search box are not clickable anymore since I installed Firefox 4. Why could that be?

    It used to be when I typed in the Google search field at the top of the screen, a list of suggestions would appear. When the suggestion matched my search I would stop typing and click on it. Then the search would start. After installing Firefox 4 the suggestions still show up but nothing happens when I click on them. I have to complete entering it and then click on the search button. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. <br />
    2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

  • Mouse hover used to show hyperlink properties

    Hi Robo Users,
    I am using RoboHelp HTML x5.0.2 Build 801 XP Pro with SP2. I
    am on XP Pro OS. Office 2003.
    I've searched but am unable to find an answer on why I cannot
    see the hyperlink properties when I hover my mouse over the
    hyperlink. I used to be able to, but now must right-click and
    select Hyperlink Properties to see the detail.
    What did I unknowlingly unclick (or click)?
    TIA,

    Ah yes. The standard operational error recovery procedure
    Glad everything is sorted.

  • The Downloads window doesn't display information since the last Firefox update

    I had to register a new help account just to get here.
    Your broser has been fucking up like crazy since the last update. I have been having nothing but problems logging into multiple sites. Sites would log me out randomly, then I wouldn';t be able to log back in. I tried to make an account on a new site and had to try 11 damn times before it went through. and just now, when I tried to ask a troubleshooting question, my username and password wouldn't work. So I sent a password reset request. Nothing happened. I sent at least FIVE password reset requests. None of them has gone through. When I tried to enter a different username, thinking maybe that was the problem, as soon as I re-typed it and clicked anywhere outside the name space, it'd revert to the name that was previously there. What the hell!?
    I haven't even gotten to the problem I originally wanted to contact you about!
    The downloads window no longer works. I download a file, I click on 'Downloads' to see how long it'll be, I see nothing. Plain, blank white. And yes, I know some files download so quickly they're gone before I can open the window. I'm talking about large several-megabyte videos and disk images. No indication that they're downloading at all.
    All this has happened since 19.0 installed. Do I have to disable updates from now on to keep the browser working properly!?

    Alco, that was ''sort of'' helpful.
    I changed the default value to 2, and that at least made a download appear in the download window. However, if I close the window and reopen it, it's blank again. And it won't show more than one download going at once. AND I can't pause or cancel downloads.
    I really don't want to reset Firefox, but I suppose I will if I have to.

  • GDM doesn't show up anymore after installing catalyst, Xorg works fine

    Hi,
    I just installed catalyst-hook from Vi0L0 and my situation is this: when I boot my computer the output on the tty1 gets stucked after the checking the filesystem with systemd-fsck and nothing appears after that, no blinking cursor, no prompt that asks me for a login, no nothing, nothing progress in both textual and graphic modes ; however, if I switch to the 2nd terminal with ALT + F2 I can login and start Xorg via the usual
    startx
    and apparently no session is ever being initiated before that so whatever is happening on tty1 must prevent xorg from even starting a new session.
    What I tried
    The main problem is that I have absolutely no idea what this is about, It could be anything ranging from modprobe to gdm, but since I have an audio card that only works properly when the appropriate configuration in
    /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
    gets loaded and I can even start a desktop session, I'm assuming that the core stuff on my system ( kernel modules and Xorg ) is working properly .
    [ Test 1 ]
    aticonfig --acpi-services=off
    doesn't fix anything and doesn't make a difference at all
    [ Test 2 ]
    /etc/gdm/custom.conf
    # GDM configuration storage
    [daemon]
    AlwaysRestartServer=true
    [security]
    [xdmcp]
    [greeter]
    [chooser]
    [debug]
    Apparently this should fix the same problem experienced by KDM users; as far as I can tell this changes nothing .
    Bottom line
    I can't get to the GDM login anymore after installing catalyst-hook, I can use the fglrx without any major issue, I can start a desktop session with startx from tty2 and tty1 gets stuck before anything "graphical" can actually appear on the screen and probably non even Xorg gets any chance of running on tty1 .
    What kind of problem is this ?

    Also I can't find that package with pacman, I also would like to fix this by myself, not because I don't trust the author of the package, but I just don't want to install too many packages and for the core things I would like full access to the essential configuration .
    Anyway it looks like that GDM is the problem this round.
    You won't find it with pacman, because it is in the AUR and you will to compile it to install it.
