My Firefox windows keep jumping from one to another

When I open a new Firefox window, after some time if I have another firefox window (not tab) open, for some reason my computer will jump from one I am currently using to the inactive one, although it still shows it as being inactive unless you click on it.
Firefox also jumps to Word or other such documents. Again this has only happened since downloading Firefox 12 (after upgrading from a brief period with Firefox 11 as well, where it also happened, but not earlier versions).

as you've described the issue it sounds more like a general external issue on your os and not related to firefox.
you might want to do a deep scan for viruses/malware on your system & have a look at this suggestion: [http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windowsxp/ht/stealingfocus02.htm]

My illustrator files keep on jumping from one monitor to another

I have two Apple 30" Cinema displays, a 24" Cintiq and an overhead projector.
My illustrator files keep on jumping from one of the Apple Displays either to the
Cintiq or the projector even if they are off.
Also illustrator files may open in any one of them.
Any suggestions please.
Thanks,
Ieuan Rees

The file should open on the screen with the menu bar, unless the file was opened before and then it will remember the window location.
Try doing a window >> application frame, and see if that shoiuld force your windows to open in the application frame
Not sure how the new OS Mavericks will work or not work, but this may be interesting

How to keep the filter when jump from one report to another report?

Hi experts,
How to use the "Link" or "Button Group" Web Item in BEx Web Application Designer to jump from one report A to another report B, both the filter of report A and report B could be kept and not missing.
When I use jump from report A to report B, the filter of Report B disappears.
But I need the filter of Report B to stay there and could be used.
Thanks
Alex

Hi..
I tried Your approached but I got an error as the field are connected to Entity Object and they are mandatory.
I achieved it using another way. Using " setForwardURL " method only.
As I am calling this method to delegate back to first page. This method takes 8 input parameters.
The 6 no parameter is about to retain AM or not. It a boolean type. Initially it was TRUE as soon as I changed it to False it worked as I needed. :)
Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

When I have all Firefox windows minimized, and am using another program or am idle, the Firefox windows keeping randomly popping up. How can I stop this behaviour?

I'm running Windows 7 and Firefox 6.0.2. When I have all Firefox windows minimized and am working in another program, the Firefox windows just randomly open in front of my other app and interrupt me. I have to minimize them again. It is extremely distracting and annoying, and often interrupts in the middle of something important. How can I stop Firefox from doing this?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Problem in query jump from one sender and two receivers

Hello all,
My requirement is to jump from one query to another two queries. The sender comes from infoCube A and receivers comes from ODS B and ODS C (ODS C is a copy of ODS B). The problem is that when I execute the first jump a pop up appears with a selection date. This issue does not happen when I execute the second jump (and the selection date is needed). Target queries are identical, and I don´t know what is happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Carmen

Hi Carmen,
I think you have used the same variable for the day selection for the query on ODS C and ODS B. Hence when you fill it for the first time it does not ask you at the second instance.
Regards.

How to programmatically jump from one topic to another in a compiled CHM file

Hello,
I'm working with the trial version of RoboHelp 9.0, trying to evaluate it for my company before we go ahead and purchase it.
Basically I'm importing a Word document and then exporting it into a .chm file.
I'm using a programing tool to jump from one topic to another in the compiled CHM file.
The topic is displayed just fine but the content on the left side stays closed and doesn't open accordingly.
I'm not sure how to extract from the RoboHelp viewer a topic's HTML address to serve as an input for my programming tool.
I'll appreciate any idea.

hi
say there are two infoobjects X and Y.
X is existing infoobject and Y in new one.
go to infosurce-search for X-create export datasource - map the rules and load the data.
This is one way.
Other way is u can use X as a reference object of Y so that both of them have same structure and both objects will share common database tables in BW which are exsting for X.
Hope this helps.
Kindly assign the points if it helps.

Screen on my i pad is jumping from one page to another

for the past few days, the screen on my i pad is jumping from one page to another on its own. Also it flickers when not in use.The i pad was purchased in Bangalore ,India in May, 2013
Please help me resolve this issue

No. Photo stream only streams photos, not videos. To transfer videos between your devices you can either import them to iTunes and sync them, or (more conveniently) use an app like PhotoSync or Bump.

IPads jumping from one SSID to another?

Hello,
One of my customers is experiencing this problem, their iPads are jumping from one SSID to another causing intermittence in the service. There are 3 SSIDs, two with WEP and one more open.
This are AP and IOS versions
c1130-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA
Thanks!

When you deploy wireless, on of the biggest problems is no control over wireless profiles. There is nothing you can do on the AP. If the user has added all three SSIDs, well that means the device has a choice of what SSID it wants to connect to. The only way to prevent the issue you are having is to only have the iPad users connect to one SSID. It might be training of users to let them k ow what they can and shouldn't do. Maybe not broadcasting the SSID is what you need to do so these devices don't automatically join networks.

My ipod jumps from one screen / app to another on it's own. Sometimes I can't unlock or even shut off. I've tried the reset, I've tried back up, even tried restoring to factory settings and is still having problem. Any ideas of what I can do.

When you still have the problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment a th Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4623 How come my ipad jumps from one app to another app?

How come my i pad jumps from one app to another for no reason at all. especially when Ia using safari?

And do you have enough space left on your iPad?
Is an error message appearing? If yes, what does it say?
Then you can't transfer files between apps, you'll need to use iTunes.
If you do not have the file on your computer, just connect your iPad, download the file into the computer from the original app and upload it to the other/new app.

i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps.

Ipad mini jumps from program to another all by it self very intermittent

ipad mini jumps from one program or app all by its self. does not matter if playing games on on wireless it is very intermittent any clue on what it is doing

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
