My laptop touchpad scroll is not working with firefox 4. It is wroking with other programs. When I attach a mouse then scroll works with mouse wheel. It is only not working with touchpad. It is/was working with firefox 3.6.x

I am using windows xp service pack 3 with Lenovo T60p.

I too have this problem, I have an Acer Aspire 7551G with an ALPS mutitouch touchpad. It works perfectly fine in every other program, and worked in Firefox 3.6. Scroll also works fine with a USB mouse. I tried downloading the 'latest' driver from the Acer support website, but when I tried to install it, it says that I am trying to install the same driver that I already have, so that fix isn't possible. I've only had the machine for 3 months, so I would imagine the drivers are pretty current.
I can't believe that this is a driver problem anyway, as I say, it works perfectly well in every other program, so it must be something wrong with Firefox. I was looking forward to using Firefox 4, but this problem is too annoying to put up with. Oh well, back to Chrome... at least until there is a fix found or implemented.

  • Change the amout a scroll bar moves when user uses the mouse wheel?

    hi,
    i have a JScrollPane, and when a user uses the "wheel" on the mouse, it seems to move up/down 1 line at a time...i would like it to scroll faster basically...so that when the "wheel", the scroll bars move up/down like 5 lines at a time....is there some way to set this value, or how can i do it?
    thanks

    It looks like it behaves just like if the user had clicked the up or down arrow on the scrollbar, so
    I would suggest setting the unit increment on the vertical scroll bar to be 5X its current value. Of
    course, this would also increase the amount that gets scrolled when the user clicks on the up
    or down arrow. If you don't want that, you'd need to somehow only change the increment on a
    mouse wheel event, do the scroll, then change it back. My guess is that you'll need to provide
    your own look and feel class to do that.

  • Error Messages saying that Firefox, as well as other programs when trying to open them, have been marked for deletion"?

    I know this probably is more of a Windows problem, but I can't figure out that site for the life of me, so I'm asking my question here.
    So I went to use a program called Combo Fix to check for any viruses and all that. It worked fine and I restarted my computer just in case I needed to. Then when I went to open Firefox, an error message came up saying something like "Illegal Operation Attempted on registry key marked for deletion." I then tried to open another program that I've had for a few years now that runs perfectly (MikuMikuDance aka MMD). It did the same. I went to open Microsoft Word and I still got the error message.
    I have no idea how I should fix this. I'm currently typing this in Safe Mode because its the only way I could get online again to search for solutions.

    By the way, the fact that the error does not occur in Safe Mode is interesting, as in normal mode Firefox may be checking the registry key related to Firefox extensions at startup. And that key would be a logical target for deletion of any references to malware. However, I've never seen a specific list of registry read/writes for Firefox startup, so that's just a guess.

  • When I want to zoom in or zoom out with the mouse wheel and CONTROL button the letters get larger but remain within the same size paragraph and any pictures remain the same. I want the entire page to zoom.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/866940]]</blockquote>
    I want the entire page to zoom in and out when I use CONTROL + mouse wheel. Now the letters get larger but remain in the same size paragraph and also the pictures stay the same.

    It is indeed scandalous that Apple sells useless scanned music scores. There is a warning when you chose to download music tabs or notes but it doesn't say that the score lines are very small and cannot be zoomed. I spent $30 on two books but cannot really use them on my MBA as you cannot zoom except for the double click which only works page per page and is only a small improvement.
    The only way I can use the score more or less is on my ipad in landscape mode by increasing the font size to the max. The music score then becomes wider and you can read 2-3 lines per page without glasses.
    If you could transfer the file to the pdf  "side" of the library in ibooks the zoom would work..
    What does work is using the accessibility zoom mode option+command+= to zoom and then option+command+\ to smooth the picture but then your whole display desktop etc. are zoomed in.

  • Scrolling/mouse wheel improvments (VTE-like) in urxvt

    I like urxvt a lot, but there's one little thing that always annoyed me, especially since I used to use XFCE's terminal which, like (I assume) all VTE-based terminals, behaves differently.
    Like pretty much all other emulators, urxvt supports using the mouse wheel to scroll in the terminal's buffer; But, unlike some others, that is all it does.
    Other (VTE-based) terminals, when running an application that uses the "secondary screen"(*), will disable their scrollbar, and instead you can use the wheel to interact with said application. For example, when in `less` or `man` you can scroll around using the mouse wheel. And it's a really nice thing, because it feels very natural (to me, at least).
    (*) not sure whether this is the "official" term or not, but at least that's how it's called in urxvt.
    And it is the one thing that always annoyed me about urxvt: even in such applications, the mouse wheel will simply scroll through urxvt's own buffer. So I finally decided to grab the source code and have a look, and lucky enough it turned out to be pretty easy to change things.
    Introducing a new option: secondaryWheel (ssw)
    Yeah, that name might not be the best, but it goes along side secondaryScreen (ssc) - which is obviously required for this to work at all - as well as secondaryScroll (ssr) - with which, IMHO, it is somewhat related. So, there you go.
    What this new option does, is pretty simple: when using the mouse wheel, if you're on secondary screen then no scrolling will occur, and instead some (3, to be exact) "fake" keystrokes will be sent to the running application. So, a wheel up will have the same result as pressing the Up key three times, and wheel down will do the same as pressing 3 times the Down key.
    Easy enough, but that does the trick: now when running `man`, `less` or any other application that uses the secondary screen, you can use the mouse wheel to move around (or whatever said application would do, if you pressed the Up/Down keys). It should be noted that I'm not sure this is actually how things are done in VTE-based terminals - I never checked - but this does the job, so it works for me.
    This is just another option (disabled by default), so you can either use it from command-line (ssw), or specify it in your .Xdefaults using it's long-name: secondaryWheel
    Like I mentioned earlier, I believe this option is related to secondaryScroll, as in it works best if you disable it, while enabling secondaryWheel
    That way, not only can you use your mouse wheel to scroll around in those applications, but whatever you do here will not "mess up" your scrolling buffer (on primary screen). That's how I use it, and I really like it that way.
    Less blah, more download
    The modified source code is available on this BitBucket repository. Note that it not only features this patch, but also this great one from rlblaster.
    Or, you can also simply use this PKGBUILD.
    Note: The PKGBUILD includes both patches, and also uses different compilation options (than the official package) to disable utmp/wtmp support and tabbed support. This is mainly because I don't use those, plus I beleive that utmp/wtmp doesn't actually work anyway (it would require setuid to be set, which isn't the case in the official package. Though, I did include the required lines (commented out) in the PKGBUILD; should you want to use it, you can simply uncomment them, and don't forget to change the options as well).
    And of course bug reports, suggestions or any other form of constructive criticism is very much welcome.

    Sorry for the necro-bump, but I found this thread while troubleshooting an issue with scrolling in urxvt.
    This is the precise patch I was looking for, but the link to PKGBUILD in the OP's post is broken.
    Here is the direct link to the AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rxvt … -scrolling
    Also this patch is great. I moved over from Gentoo who includes this patch in the rxvt-unicode ebuild so I never really knew about it.
    Moving to Arch caused some frustration as this patch wasn't included and I had no idea what was wrong.
    Anyway, this package is great and I hope it's maintained forever and ever (or for as long as I use urxvt).

  • Annoying - mouse wheel changes values in LOV when page scrolling

    When I use the mouse wheel to scroll down the page after selecting a value from a Select List LOV, focus remains in the LOV and the LOV value changes automatically. Does anyone know of a workaround how to take focus off the LOV after selection? This has been annoying me for years especially in the Application Builder (which we can't do much about I suppose). Can this be done in my apps?...and please don't suggest not using the mouse wheel to scroll down the page...
    regards
    Paul P

    Hi Paul,
    assume you have a form with (at least) these two fields:
    1. P70_EMPLOYEE_ID (standard Text field)
    2. P70_MGR (select list)
    All you need to do is specify
    onchange="$x('P70_EMPLOYEE_ID').focus();"at HTML Form Element Attributes of item P70_MGR. Then everytime a value is selected from the select-list the focus/mouse pointer changes to P70_EMPLOYEE_ID
    brgds,

  • Safari Is Not Responding When I View other Programs

    When I have Safari open, and move the mouse to the upper left corner of the screen to view other programs - when I try to return to Safari it does not respond.  Instead it sits in the background and will not come up or let me close it.  It happened for the first time last night, and again this morning.
    Any advice?
    Thanks!

    Shouldn't have!  I'd be surprised if it did - but it wouldn't be the first time I'd been surprised by a computer!!!

  • The scroll feature has stopped working on my laptop touchpad in Mozilla Firefox but not Internet Explorer.

    The scroll feature was working well on my laptop touchpad but has ceased to work in Firefox. It continues to work well in Internet Explorer. Help!

    Its due to the adobe reader add on. I removed adobe reader and installed foxit reader. Now everything seems perfect. My laptop model is model is Acer Aspire 5820 TG and I use synaptics driver.
    Solution: (Courtesy - iuliand)
    If you have issues with touch-pad scrolling in FF4 do this:
    1) disable Adobe Acrobat add-on and test if it works, otherwise
    2) install the latest touch-pad driver.
    Hope this will help others.
    Edit:
    If the above does not work, temporarily disable all add-ons in order to check if there is another one that may cause this.
    Also, make sure you update to the latest touch-pad driver from the touch-pad manufacturer site (very easy to do if you have a Synaptics). Most of the time drivers from notebook manufacturer support site are NOT up to date.
    Keep in mind that you may need to do both things (disable acrobat AND install latest driver). Both are possible causes and may occur at the same time, as it was in my case.
    Edit 2:
    If you have an ALPS touch-pad and none of the above works, check dog425's post below in this topic. He pointed out a solution found in this thread: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/791829#answer-163071

  • Cant get the laptop touchpad scroll feature to work in latest Firefox version

    Since installing version 4 of Firefox the touchpad scroll function has stopped working. All other programs continue to scroll correctly and the touchpad driver is uptodate (Lenovo UltraNav).

    Try this: <br />
    Type about:config into address bar, hit enter, Firefox would ask if you want to access the settings, say yes you know the risk.
    When the list of configurations come up, type '''trackpoint''' into the filter area, you will see a '''ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled''' setting, change that from -1 to 1. Now you should be able to scroll using trackpoint and middle mouse button on the trackpad again.

    Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

    My MacBook Pro was stolen less than a week ago, and I'm not sure if the hard drive was wiped, if it was wiped would I still be able to find it with the findiphone app?

I had alot of special things on my laptop, and I would hate it if I didn't find it, so I'm hoping it wasn't wiped and I will be able to find it soon, HELP ME IF YOU CAN PLEASE! ANYTHING HELPS!

    If that drive was erased, you should have received a confirmation email.

    Originally we were getting the error that the phone could not connect. Then, after deleting the account multiple times and re-adding it again, the error message CHANGED to having to log in to Yahoo and authorize.
    When we went to Yahoo in a regular browser and logged in there was an alert telling us about connection attempts so it disabled mobile/iphone connectivity. It required that we change our password FIRST.
    Then, we went in to Manage Apps and Webpages and saw that iPhone was not there but Facebook was.
    After all of this went back to the phone and deleted then re-added the account again and SUCCESS!
    It now also shows up on the Yahoo Manage Apps and Webpages.
    Hope this helps someone else. Please consider giving me points if it does or like the post.
