Text Input Field Jumps around or lags when inputting text but only with Firefox.

I normally will use Safari because even now while Firefox, there is a lag between what is typed and what appears on the screen. When I pull down a menu or try to add a bookmark, I have to click on the field at a certain time because the text field is moving side to side. I am unable to capture this effect and copy and paste below. Safari browser does not do this. Some of the sites require that I have Firefox or a more recent browser. I cannot run Google Chrome on my Mac because it is not Intel based. Thank you for your assistance.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I started using Firefox. This has been happening for a while.

Try [[Firefox hangs]] (Firefox hangs: Duplicate Session Restore files)
This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .

  • I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
    Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
    If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.

    When I purchased ringtones for my texts and two of them dont play when someone texts me,but plays when they call

    Hi Kel134,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are having microphone issues on your iPhone when you place a call to someone and they cannot hear you unless you activate the speaker function. In this situation I would recommend the steps in the following article to help isolate and resolve the situation. 
    iPhone: Microphone issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
    Resolve the issue
    Follow these steps, testing after each.
    Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
    Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (refer to the pictures below to find your device's microphones). Check for these:
    Dirt or debris
    A screen protector or case
    When you're holding your phone next to your ear, make sure you don't block the microphone with your fingers or shoulder and make sure to speak into the microphone
    Turn the iPhone off and then on.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.
    For further assistance, contact Apple Support.
    I hope this helps,

  • Jumpy scrowl control with mouse.Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer. Problem fixed when I updated to 6. 0.2 but problems returned after about a week.. 0.2

    Jumpy scroll wheel control with mouse. Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer.Even pushing the scroll wheel and trying to adjust for a smooth easy scroll the text stops and starts. Problem fixed itself when I updated to 6. 0.2 from an older version but the problem returned after about a week.. The problems go away when I go to web site and scroll but is back when I return to my home page (mozilla firefox)

    Good post, and glad to hear you had a solid transition. Mine went well too, though I think I beat the rush.
    It's worth noting that the vast and overwhelming majority of headaches people were experiencing were related to download and activation servers (as well as credit check servers for some mobile carriers) being crushed and overwhelmed.
    To give you an idea of just how crushed, here are some numbers. In the last year, something in the neighborhood of 8 million iPhones have been sold. That's just shy of 22,000 per day. So the typical traffic is around 22,000 times a day, someone is hitting the server for update/activation.
    This weekend, Apple sold 1 million iPhones. In other words, 333,333 phones per day. Holy crap!
    As if that wasn't enough, there are 8 million of us out there with the first generation iPhone. Not only do we need to download the new firmware, but we have to install it. The installation process requires hitting the activation server again, to validate the phone. Mind you, not everybody upgraded this weekend, but a few million did. For the sake of argument, we'll assume that's 1 million a day. So, instead of the normall traffic of 22K phones a day, those activation servers got SLAMMED with 1.33 million activations per day.
    It ***** that some people had delays and hiccups and a hard time and everything, but completely understandable. With luck things will run more smoothly from here on out.

  • When I open .txt files with firefox all underscores disappear. How do I fix this?

    I have a list of websites in a .txt file and they all contain underscores. When I open the file with firefox all underscores turn into spaces, so that the links don't actually work.

    Can you post a short excerpt of this text file?
    Note that you usually need an extension to open links in a text file via a left-click with the mouse.
    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.

  • Is this true? "iTunes 7 will do CD-Text, but only with certain models of CD

    My friend told me the following. Is this true?
    "iTunes 7 will do CD-Text, but only with certain models of CD burners."

    Probably not - although this comes only from personal experiance and not any technical knowlage. I always purchase cd's based on conviniance and not brand. Also spend my life between Europe and North America and have never encontered any cd that would not work - aside occasional lemons.
    Hope this helps - just remember this is an experiance based reply.

    when i start up internet with firefox also another sites opens automatically. This is a site which i did not choose. How do i stop this?

    Go to settings on your iPad select store and look to the bottom of the screen - ensure it is your apple id shown as being logged on - if it not yours click on the apple id choose log out and then enter your details and password.
    If someone has entered their apple id on your ipad and automatic downloads are enabled you can be receiving apps they have purchased.

  • When will Billieo be compatible with Firefox 7?

    I just have a question, when will Billieo be compatible with Firefox 7? I love your browser, but I have to keep going back to I/E 9 to use billieo, which I do not really care for IE.
    Thank You

    If you want to try it already (and perhaps help us to find any potential problems early), you can download an Aurora version from here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/

  • My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.  In vertical, it works fine.  I have powered off and on, checked that Safari Instant is on, and cleared Safari cache.  Any help will be appreciated.

    My keypad keeps disappearing when using google -- but only in the horizontal position.   Vertically, it works fine.  I have powered off and then back on.  I have checked that Safari instant is on, and I have cleared Safari cache.  Nothing has worked so far.

    Okay -- it fixed itself.  Without any intervention, after all else had failed, and I was willing to live evermore with vertical searches.  If only everything else in my house mysteriously recovered from the broken state.
    Have no idea what was/is going on with the disappearing keypad.

  • On my Macbook Pro my cursor jumps around and does it's own thing even with a usb mouse, on my Macbook Pro my cursor jumps around and does it's own thing even with a usb mouse

    Having trouble with my MacBook Pro and the cursor jumping around and doing it's own thing.  Clicking opening up other folders etc. 

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
    2. Boot in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you reboot as usual, stop here and post your results. If you can't boot in safe mode, do the same. If you booted in safe mode and there was no change, go on to the next step.
    3. Reset the System Management Controller.
    4. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    5. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
    6. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to  behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
    7. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    8. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
    9. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

  • My Mac keeps crashing (whole system) when I'm watching videos with Firefox, any idea why?

    Ok so I got a new mac and as usual install firefox which is my favorite browser, suddenly my computer started crashing, not just firefox the whole system froze and I had to reboot to make it work again, I didn't know what was happening until I noticed that said crashes happen when I was watching videos on firefox, I tried to use chrome and the issue was gone. So anyone has any idea why this is happening? I really would love to start using firefox again!

    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
    If this does not fix the issue, you may need to reinstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer.

  • Task Sequence fails on "Apply Driver Package" when PXE-booting but not with bootable media

    I have an issue where my Task Sequence fails during 'Apply Driver Package' when PXE-booting but works ok when booting from CD or USB-stick. It fails withe error code 0x80070002 and when pressing F8 and checking the ipconfig there's a 169.254.x.x address.
    Somehow it looses it's real ip during the process.
    I'm grateful for any advice!

    Please enable verbose logging for Task sequence, then upload the smsts.log to Skydrive.
    0x80070002 error is too generic, which cannot be used to determine the cause.

  • HT1277 Text does not flow around images properly when I send emails from Mail to Outlook.

    I often send group emails to let friends know about our upcoming band gigs. I use a nice header image, and sometimes have images in the text.
    In Mail, I can make text flow around the images (float left, float right, etc.). But when I receive these emails at my office in MS Outlook, the pictures just display inline, with all text starting after them, instead of flowing around them.
    This is not the case when I format similar emails in Outlook and receive them in Mail.
    What can be done?

    You're probably not going to like the answer: Welcome to HTML-based email, and web (browser- or mail-based) rendering incompatibilities and quirks.
    Newer Microsoft Internet Explorer is (much) better than older releases, so see if a newer Windows client or a newer version of Outlook does better.
    If you really want to see what's going on here, view the raw HTML that's getting generated, and see what Microsoft wants or uses or expects within Outlook, and send that.
