The cursor won't work in Firefox quite often without my restarting the program

When I am on Firefox quite often the cursor won't highlight anything or allow me to enter any text. I have to quit the program and restart it. Any suggestions?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

  • I can't get my mouse to work! Changed the batteries and the monitor says it is connected, but the cursor won't move.

    My mouse is supposedly connected, but the cursor won't move.  I changed the batteries.  What should I do?

    Anyone that is trying to help you right now is guessing, you haven't provided any clues such as which mouse you use and which version of OS X you have installed. Without those barest of facts we're giving your WAGs.

  • Adobe Flash Player won't work with Firefox

  • Java won't work on Firefox, while it works on Safari on a Mac.

    I have a MacBook Pro and downloaded Firefox 3.6 for it. Now I've realized that Java plugins won't work in Firefox for some reason, while they do work in Safari that came with the Mac. The problem wouldn't be with Java, since it works on Safari.
    The Java-related plug-ins I have installed in Firefox are the Java Embedding Plug-in 0.9.7.3 and Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI browsers.
    When I go to a page that contains a Java applet, there is no error, the page says it's done loading, and there's a blank spot where an applet is supposed to be.

    Actually, I have both plugins installed in Mac OS X 10.6, verified by entering '''about:plugins''' in the SeaMonkey 2 Location Bar (address bar)
    Java Embedding Plugin 0.9.7.3
    <br>File name: MRJPlugin.plugin
    Java Plug-In 2 for NPAPI Browsers
    <br>File name: JavaPlugin2_NPAPI.plugin
    This is a new iMac computer I just set up last week running OS X 10.6.4 with all current Apple Software Updates. I have SeaMonkey 2 installed on it, but not Firefox.
    I have Java 6 Update 20 ( 1.6.0_20 ) installed, verified by going to the test link in the KB article I posted above,
    http://javatester.org/version.html
    Java 1.6.0_20 (referred to as "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2" on the page cor-el linked) should be available from Apple's [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338 Software Update] feature.
    Another test link you can try (from about:plugins):
    http://browserspy.dk/java.php
    I think that the Java Embedding plugin is something that Mozilla includes with all its current browsers (Firefox, SeaMonkey, Camino) based on: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/OSX.html#Java
    ...which links to http://javaplugin.sourceforge.net/

  • Site won't work in FireFox

    Hi Everyone,
    I normally wouldn't ask something like this, but I've tried so many things and can't figure it out.
    A friend sent me her website because it won't work in FireFox, but does in every other browser.
    Here is the site:
    www.milanmoffatt.com/dinnerwithstrangers
    I've looked pretty intensely at it, but I'm not a coding Guru.  I can't see anything that would make it work in Chrome, Safari, Opera, IE but not FireFox.
    It looks like FF just won't recognize the style sheet, but it's being called correctly as far as I know.
    Thanks

    There are some errors in the html shown in the validator here: http://validator.w3.org/
    If it's still not working after repairing them, we can take a closer look.

  • Quicktime won't work on Firefox

    Quicktime 7.1.5 won't work on Firefox 2.0.0.3. Any ideas as to why?
    Thanks!!

    Jesus Christ, how tedious. Can I just revert to a previous Firefox somewhere in the 3.xxx range where everything worked just fine? I am MacBook Pro laptop. Are you sure you're giving me mac instructions and not PC instructions? This looks more like a PC fix than a mac fix. The exact same problem is happening on my girlfriend's mac computers. I may have to go back to Safari which works just fine and plays the MP3s. This is a very bad happenstance if Firefox is so screwy that everyone has to do all the crap listed above just to get an MP3 to play. This is something Firefox should fix instead of having all Firefox users be confronted with such a glitch. Bad Firefox, Bad Firefox!!!!!

  • I upgrades my mac operating system to OSX 10.9.4 and now my Dreamweaver CS5 won't work, it just quits unexpectedly.  please help.

    I upgrades my mac operating system to OSX 10.9.4 and now my Dreamweaver CS5 won't work, it just quits unexpectedly.  Please help.

    Remove preferences on Mac OS
    Quit Dreamweaver.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
    Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
    Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
    Rename the Dreamweaver preferences file:
    Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file to, for example, Old Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs.
    Try to re-create problem
    After you have removed your existing preferences, restart Dreamweaver. The application creates new preferences files, folders, and registry entries, as applicable, using the default settings.
    Then try to re-create the problem that you had before.
    If the problem was resolved, then damaged preferences was the cause.
    If the problem persists, then the preferences are not the cause and you can replace the original preferences.
    To replace the original preferences:
    Quit dreamweaver.
    Delete the new preferences folder and restore the original name of the previous folder.

  • My cursor isn't working on Firefox so I can't scroll down - I must manually hold vertical bar to move page - I've already tried troubleshooting - helped temporarily, but still problem now - cursor otherwise works on other servers

    My cursor isn't working on Firefox, so I can't scroll down - I must manually hold the vertical bar to move page.

    I have had this nagging problem several times. Each time more frustrating than the last.
    '''PDF''''s. If you have a .pdf page open in Firefox (as often happens when looking at brochures and whatnot from websites) the mousepad side scroll function will not work. Plugging in an external usb device works just fine, making the situation that much more aggravating.
    Simply close any windows or tabs from Firefox that are displaying .pdf's, and the blood pressure "should" return to normal values. If your blood pressure doesn't return to a satisfactory value, see your family doctor. He'll probably ensure your continued trust in Firefox is still better than any experience with explor.er.
