Reload butto blinks continuously at certain sites. How do I make it stop without resetting Firefox?

[To Anyone Coming Here From a Google Search on the same issue: 
'''DO NOT RESET FIREFOX''' 
It is a stupid suggestion that will do nothing to fix your problem.]
steven1950, 
I've noticed this behaviour on the NY Times website (nytimes.com). Using the Ghostery addon, I've been able to narrow it down to a Javascript tracker from ''ScoreCard Research Beacon'', itself called from another script from ''Web Trends''. Blocking either Scorecard or Webtrends prevents the behaviour (at least on the NYTimes site.) That said, I don't know what the script is actually doing, nor why Firefox even has this "function".
You can stop it by using either NoScript or Ghostery.
In Ghostery, open blockable trackers (click on the Ghost icon), then click the slider icon next to "Scorecard Research Beacon". Reload the page with F5. Problem should be solved. (Actually you can block all ten NYT tracker scripts, they offer no functionality that you want.) [Edited by user, Ghostery just simplified their interface.]
Alternatively, if you are using the Ad Block Pro addon, select "Open Blockable Items", type "scorecard" in the search field. Then double click on http: //b.scorecardresearch. com/c2/3005403/cs.js to block it.
Note for Devs and Mods: This is not caused by addons. It is due to a Javascript. Please stop mindlessly advising people to reset firefox or disable addons, or similar thoughtless nonsense, you are just making things worse. This is not a Windows Helpdesk. Turning it off and turning it on again is not a useful suggestion.

Every time I press the home button a new tab opens. How do I stop this?

When I push the home button to go to my home page, the firefox loads my home page but also opens a new tab with the firefox home page with the google search bar.
How do I stop the new tab from opening. I can't find it in the options page.

Tools>Tab Utilities Options... Then un-check Home under the Open new tabs group

The connection has timed out with certain sites on all browsers

When I type in google.ca or bing.com in my address bar, it says " The connection has timed out. The server at bing.com is taking too long to respond." i have done may virus scans and that has not worked. This happens in all brosers and i am using windows XP. I am mainly using FireFox 3.6. My friends can access the sites and seem like i am the only one with the problem.

Only on some sites.
Really weird thing is, Internet Explorer works FINE!!!

The browser has a green color at the top of the page. This green also appears inside the page with certain sites. I'm unable to change it-it's ugly and annoying since I do not know it happened.

You need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Podcast stopped downloading - note popped up telling me to press the "get" button to continue download-WHERE is the "get" button?

Podcast stopped downloading - note popped up telling me to press the "get" button to continue download-WHERE is the "get" button?

Thank you, Roger.
I kind of tried this, and when I clicked on the cloud, an "X" appeared and the podcast title became ghosted!
Had to wait a lengthy time for all the rest of the podcasts to load (I only connect with iTunes on my ext. hard drive about twice a week), and then go back and "refresh" these - they played all the way through and then were loaded. This is just the latest mishap with iTunes, which periodically never loads my 3 subscriptions for weeks at a time, and I have to manually load them from the various sites offering the podcasts. No one at the Apple Store knows what is wrong, and they all finally admit that it's an Apple error and not a site screwup! I will muddle along and hope the next time I plug in my Est. HD to open itunes that this will not happen!
Again, thanks - and have a good day :-)

I would like to move the reload button off of the location bar. I would also like to have a visible "forward" button as well as the back button.

Simple as that. Given that I have OCD, it's extremely unpleasant to have both the forward and back buttons not consistently visible. How can I return to that appearance?
I also want to separate the reload button from the location bar, as I had it before the update. I find myself reloading pages quite often, and having the button be smaller, and within the location bar, is well... kinda counter-intuitive.
Ideally, I would like to have it ordered, from left to right: back, forward, reload, location bar.
Firefox has always been very customizable, and very user friendly. A few hiccups here and there, sure, but you can typically get what you want done, one way or another. So can you guys help me out? This is driving me crazy. I have installed Classic Theme Restorer, and it doesn't change that I can't currently do this.

Hi Rose1, if you mean in the regular address bar of Firefox 29, the Forward button should appear after you have used Back.
If you mean in the Classic Theme Restorer, you first need to check the box for "Movable back-forward button" in its Options. Open the Add-on page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions, then click the Options button for Classic Theme Restorer. On the "Main" tab, under General UI, you will find this option. As you check and uncheck, Firefox shows the result of the change, so you should see the arrows appear on the right end of the main toolbar.
After finishing with this dialog, you can use Customize to drag them where you want them.
Any luck?

Web DynPro Behaviour when the Reload button is pressed

Hi,
I'd like to know what is the behaviour of the Web DynPro when an user presses the Reload button on the browser.
I'm asking this because I designed a WDP that has a view with some input fields, two button and a table to show the result of a search operation based on the content of the input fields.
Some of the input fields are text inputs and others are dropdown list controls. In some cases, e.g. after having performed a search, if I hit the Reload button the content of one dropdown list was shown in another dropdown list.
The dropdown lists and the other input fields are bound to some context attributes and nodes.
I'm trying to figure out why the WDP is kept in this 'dirty state' when the page is reloaded.
Thanks,
Pietro.

Hi Pietro,
a reload of the Browser causes every time a reload of WDJ-Application. That means the content in the wdDoInit-Method is executed and the UI-Input elements are in initial state.
If you want to store the selection in the Input fields and droodowns the only way is to store that in the session.
Here is an example to do that.
WDScopeUtil.put(WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE, "ABC", "someValue");
Than you have to read this in the init-Methods.
WDScopeUtil.get(WDScopeType.CLIENTSESSION_SCOPE, "ABC");
Regards
Gunter

Why has the Reload button shrunk and shot to the end of the URL window? How will I find out when the Favloc plugin works in V4?

I had installed Firefox 4, but rapidly had to backtrack to 3.6, then again to 3.5. Two reasons: 1. The three toolbar buttons I use most are Back, Forward and Reload. In 3.5 I can group these nicely at the left hand end; in 4 the Reload button has shrunk and shot across to the end of the URL bar. Why?
2. Versions 3.6 and 4 are incompatible with the Favloc plugin. This is such a brilliant plugin you ought to buy the code and build it in. I am marooned in 3.5 until this plugin works in V4 - running 3.5, how will I find out when it does?

As far as I know, [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ the Classic Theme Restorer add-on] is the only way move the Reload button outside the address bar.
# Install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] and restart Firefox when prompted.
# Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
# Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
# On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
# Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
# Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
# Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.
That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.
* Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
* Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
* Press F5.
* Press Ctrl+R (Mac: Command+R).

Went to your 'help' section and asked "where is the reload button?" and now I am being told my question is too long. very screwed up folks.

Where is the "reload" button?
WHY HAVE A 'DETAILS' BOX THAT HOLDS 345 CHARACTERS WHEN YOU COME BACK AND DEMAND THAT I REDUCE IT TO 255 CHARACTERS? HOW STUPID IS THAT? I had an explanation written out but the system won't accept it.
Christ, now it's telling me that my question is too long and I don't even know how to get back to the question to reduce the number of characters in it. This is truly screwed up folks.

By default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Where's the Reload button on Firefox 6?

I installed Firefox 6 and now I cannot locate the Reload button. On my previous version it was just to the right of the forward/back arrows.

It is docked at the end of the location bar (where you type web addresses) and is changed so that it is a reload button with an arrow once a web page is loaded but a stop button with a cross whilst a page is loading.
If you really want the old type buttons back it is possible to get something similar using the customise option. (whether you get or two buttons or one combined depends on the position and order of the buttons.)

Where is the 'reload' button?

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/843347]''
how do I get my 'reload' button back on my screen?

In Firefox 4, the stop/go/reload buttons have been combined into one button, and are attached to the right edge of the location bar. If you type in the location bar you get the go button, when a page is loading it becomes the stop button, at other times it becomes the reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the reload and stop buttons to where you want them on the toolbar.

Link button blinking continuously

Somebody please help.
The problem: Link button blinking continuously. The link button should only change property when on mouse-hover.
I will send the FLA file for those good samaritans who can help me fix the problem.
PLEASE HELP ME!

Describe how your button is designed. It sounds like it needs a stop(); command in it if it is a movieclip symbol.

The page hangs indefinitely, unless I hit the reload button.

My question is: Often times when I am opening a new page, the page hangs indefinitely, unless I hit the reload button. Sometimes I have to do this several times. The tab shows that it is trying to connect, but it won't. I have also experienced when the page loads incorrectly and all I get is a jumbled mess to the left side of the page. I mistakenly thought it was a problem with my carrier but now realize it's Mozilla. I am having more problems now than I did with Internet Explorer and am ready to go back! edit

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.
