Hello dinepada, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is '''probably caused by an extension''', theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Mouse Only Works When Unplugged

Hi,
When running gnome under xorg, my mouse only works if I unplug it and then plug it back in whilst in the x environment. I am not using the hotplug daemon, and have the ohci_hcd module loaded. Can anyone please help me with this problem?
Thanks,
kirkl

Or.... run the hotplug daemon ;P The hotplug daemon will detect that you have a usb mouse plugged in that wasn't loaded, so will load the driver.

Does Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs??

I just bought an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, assuming it'd work with my new Leopard OS X Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Mighty Mouse booklet...but no installation start-up window ever appeared. I'm a beginner with Apple, so I figure I've done something wrong....does the Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs and not MacBooks?
Please help if you can.

Ah! sorry, my mistake! "wireless" was the key word. And yes, prior to my new mighty mouse, I also used the wireless one. And you need to do the following:
1) Turn bluetooth ON (either from finder icon (you can have it placed on your finder bar by tick box in sytem preferences/bluetooth.
2) Then, you need to "pair" your mouse via bluetooth setup assistant.
3) once "paired" off you go.

Mouse only works when plugged into a specific USB port

Hello. I'm using a HP optical mouse that connects via USB plugin.
HP PIN: 505062-001 Rev.A
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
It only has full functionality when plugged into a specific USB port on my desktop. I can't get it to work with any other ports or chained with a HUB plugged into the port it likes. All of my other USB devices work fine with those ports and my HUBs. The red light on the bottom lights up but the mouse pointer does not respond to movement and clicking the buttons does nothing either.
1) I'm confident, that it's not a problem with the desktop hardware
2) I'm confident, that it's not a problem with the mouse hardware
When the mouse is fully functional, it's displayed under Devices and Printers, in the Devices category as "USB OPTICAL MOUSE".
When connected with the other ports or through a HUB, it appears as TWO entries in the Devices category: "HID-compliant mouse" and - here's the suspicious part - "HID-compliant keyboard"
I suspect that something's up with the driver for the mouse. Any clues, as to which driver I need? Or, is the cause of the problem something else entirely?

Hello Tick_Noby,
Your mouse only works in certain usb ports.
Has the mouse ever worked in the ports?
You can go to device manager and uninstall the fake keyboard and the mouse and restart the computer.
It seems that the driver is not correct for the mouse.
Also reset BIOS defaults.
Turn off the computer.
As you turn it back on tap the F10 key. This will load BIOS setup utility.
Press F9 to load defaults.
Press F10 to save and exit.
When the computer boots back up, check to see if everything is working.
If it has not been to long since the problem started, you can run a system restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Let me know how everything goes
Have a good day.

After latest FP update, why does my website only work in Firefox.

I spent ages the other night trying to fix my website, as it suddenly stopped working in IE9. Tried all sorts of FP installs with no avail. Eventually went back to IE8, think 9 was the problem, and still my site won't work. Out of 4 browsers, IE8 (or 9), Opera, Safari and FF, only FF displays my site. If I understand correctly, FF doesn't use the same plugin as the rest. My question is, why does it only work in one browser, and not the others.
If I use my HTC Desire, the site works fine too.
Just to be clear though, this isn't just on one PC, it is on three. I have one running Win7 64-Bit, one running XP Pro, and one running Vista Business. None of them will display the site with IE8. Oh, and my WIn7 machine dual boots with XP Home, and that doesn't work either.
Even my Vista Business machine, which actually hosts the site, won't display it properly.
The site was created using SWF files built in Flash CS3, if that's relevant. One AS2 file, and 2 AS3 files on a page (usually)
You can check the site here www[DOT]digital[DASH]essence[DOT]co[DOT]uk
Sorry for the unfriendly address, I don't trust forums and website addresses.

It's the forums that make the image tiny, if you do a right-click > copy shortcut, you can then paste it into a new tab, which will let you see the full size image. It's a 3360x1050 image, maybe a bit big for the forums.
Basically though, the left image is IE, and that shows an error box. The centre image is Opera, and that shows an empty screen. The right image is FF, and that is how it should look.
If it's a machine specific error, then I can't work out why it is on several machines in my house... very odd.

Mouse only working in one USB slot

This is more of an anoyance than a problem. I've recently purchaced a Logitech wireless mouse. It has one of those dongle things that you plug into the USB port. The only problem is, that it only works in the one port (one closest to the power). This happens in OS X and in Windows XP. I've tried it on an indentical machine and it works in both. Does anyone have any suggestions.
Oh, memory sticks / usb hdds etc work in both slots fine...
Thanks in advance for any help...

Ok, after reading a few other posts on here I did the SMC reset thing (take out battery and hold power button down). When I booted up the mouse worked in both slots. After a re-start it's back to the same place again, only working in one slot. Any advice on what I should do next?

Mouse only working when re-plugged

Hi,
on both of our new minis the 3rd party USB mouse will only work after booting if it is removed and plugged in again. Any tricks that it will be recognized straight away at startup?
-Hans

Is the mouse plugged into the Mac mini or the keyboard?

Flash no longer working on Firefox after update

Moments ago I installed the Flash update after it came up on my screen asking to update, after doing so Flash is no longer working on Firefox, it works fine on other browsers. I cant view videos, look at flash objects etc. It was working perfectly fine before up untill the update. Anybody know how to resolve or fix this issue?

Dear Chris:
Yes, turning off Protected Mode indeed solves the problem!
Specifically, we today (June 9, 2012) installed the new Adobe Flash v. 11.3.300.257 on several Windows 7 PC's, all running Firefox v. 14 (Beta), and none of the Firefox installations would confirm that the installation was performed successfully. For example, the Adobe Flast test/about site, https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about, would not work. And, likewise, YouTube videos and other Flash-encoded videos did not work either.
So, we tried your suggestion to disable the new Protected Mode, and it worked. That is, every single machine on which Flash did not work in Firefox now functions perfectly. So this conclusively demonstrates that there indeed is some kind of bug in the implementation of Protected Mode.
Can you please let me and the other Adobe users know when this is fixed. Thanks.
Also, could you likewise let us know the risks of turning of Protected Mode (although we really don't have any choice, as Flash will not work on Firefox with PM turned on).
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Kind regards,

I need use the Click Map feature in Omniture which currently only works on Firefox V4. For some reasin V5 gives an error when trying to install. Can you please help me download V4?

I need to view the click data via my Omniture account. To do this I need to install the ClickMap plugin. It works on V4 but when I upgraded to V5 I now get an error saying the plugin cannot be installed.

If ClickMap is an '''extension''', as opposed to a '''plugin''', you have another option.
When Firefox disables an extension, it usually is because it includes a list of compatible Firefox versions and it hasn't yet been updated for Firefox 5. If it worked on Firefox 4, there is a good chance it will work on Firefox 5, but no guarantee.
You can force Firefox to ''ignore'' add-on version restrictions by (what else) installing an add-on. Then you can test whether the extensions important to you actually work in Firefox 5.
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter :: Add-ons for Firefox]
After you install this add-on and restart Firefox, there will still be a message that "--- is incompatible with Firefox 5.0" but the add-on will be enabled and a Disable button will appear for that entry.

Magic Mouse only works with Mobee Rechargeable

I have had a Magic Mouse for years. I don't recall how long. A couple of years ago I bought the Mobee Magic Charger and have mostly been happy with it. However, lately I cannot get my Magic Mouse to work with anything BUT the Mobee rechargeable unit. Normal batteries won't turn it on.
Anyone have ideas of what could be wrong?

After the initial full charge of the battery pack I get nothing. The green light is steady. However, when I power on the magic mouse and try to pair it with my iMac, it never connects. Also, the green light on the mouse itself is no longer lighting up.
Does it not blink when you flip the switch off then on?
Some people have complained about not being able to re-pair after a battery change. Smc and/or pram reset might help here but don't bother since you apparently have a bigger problem to solve.
And if that weren't enough, the battery pack is stuck and I cannot remove it from the mouse. The mouse was working just perfectly when I was using the AA alkaline batteries. Am I missing something? Or is this a defect in the product?
Defect in the battery pack perhaps. I would call Mobee and ask them for their opinion. Maybe the batteries were defective and swelled in the case (just guessing).

I am an online professor using Blackboard 9.1. Bb only works with Firefox 3.6 so I need to prevent Firefox from automatically updating. How do I stop the harassing update popups?

I used to regularly update but I started experiencing problems with my online classes. Blackboard tech support said that your updates are not working so I had to uninstall and reinstall 3.6 and now everything works okay but I need to stop all the popups about updating.
I already have it set so it asks first but I do not want to be asked.
Thank you.
Thank you. Patrizia

You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

A puzzle I made in Adobe Flash on an html5 canvas only works in Firefox, and not in other browsers. What should I do?

I made a puzzle on a html5 canvas in Flash CC, and followed the exact steps of an online tutorial. The final product works in Firefox, but not in Chrome or Internet Explorer. What am I doing wrong?

Call up the Javascript Console in Chrome and see if it's showing error messages.
Also, you might try uploading it to a web server and viewing it from there (or turning Apache on locally). It may be a cross site security issue.

Why does Google voice no longer works in Firefox after adding addtional credit but does in Safari?

I am using Mac OS 10.10 with FireFox 30.0.2 as my browser. I was making calls OK on Goggle Voice through my G-Mail account. when I ran out of credit. I loaded additional credit and tried to resume calling. However, I kept get getting the following error message "Please download the voice plugin to make a call". Following the provided link lead me into a blind ally. Tried downloading a voice plugin and reinstalling, but no luck. Tried closing Firefox and reopening, but again no luck. There are no problems when using Safari as my browser. calls go through just fine.
Can't figure out why it worked just fine and thenstopped after laoding addtional credit.
