There is a lag in typing in the addressbar since FF4

I'm using a plugin on my Mac called "Keyboard Maestro".
How I use it:
I have 2 Firefox windows open in one screen, side by side. I select an email address in window 1. I press the keyboard shortcut that activates keyboard Maestro.
Maestro then copies the e-mail address, hits Command+` to switch to window 2 of Firefox. It then hits Command+T for a new tab, and types in a URL. Behind the URL it then hits Command+V to paste the e-mail address, and then hits enter.
This allows me to select an e-mail address in window 1, do the keystroke, and immediately find this e-mail address on an admin page I use for work. (instead of copy, open website, paste, hit search).
Now the bit where it's typing the address URL (needs to be a new tab) is lagging a lot since Firefox 4! In Firefox 3, the typing was blitzing fast.
I tried the same keystroke in 2 windows of Safari: blitzing fast like Firefox 3.
I then tried opening Firefox 4 again: slow again. I then experimented by typing really fast (just gibberish, but as fast as my fingers could move), and I noticed: Firefox4 address bar can not keep up with my typing speed. So there's the error.
Typing the same speed in Safari and Firefox3? No problem, it keeps up.
I have 2 add ons running, Xmarks 3.9.7 and Gmail Favicon Notifier 3.10.2
I don't think it's my Mac, as the typing speed does not lag in Safari or Firefox 3.

Hi,
I had also a lag while typing in the addressbar (or the searchbar btw) in Firefox and spent quite some time trying to figure out why.
I tried Firefox 5 beta, deleting the chronik, the cash etc...
until I tried to deactivate my addons one by one.
I have figured out that the addon "speed dial" was responsible for that lag.
Since I have deactivated it, everything works pretty much instantly.
Finally !
Regards

  • Has anyone experienced lagging when typing on the mac since the mountain lion os x update?

    hey everyone,
    i'm a newbie to this kind of stuff but just curious if anyone has experienced any kind of lag when typing since the mountain lion update. I find then whenever i'm typing it doesn't show up and as soon as i start deleting my sentence it will appear again.
    also, when scrolling over a highlighted word, your typical menu box will drop down. As soon as it drops down it leaves a big white blank where it was and cuts out everything that was in its path.
    please let me know if this is something that can be fixed or if apple's working on something to amend the issue. thanks everyone!

  • When recording a Video demo slide in Captivate 8, pressing the [END] key takes more than a minute to stop the recording. Why is there such a lag?

    When recording a Video demo slide in Captivate 8, pressing the [END] key takes more than a minute to stop the recording. Why is there such a lag? Additionally, the software I record experiences terrible lag times. For instance, It may take 15 seconds to display a 2-digit number I typed into a blank field. the same software has no lag issues when I'm not recording it.

    Yes and no. The CPTX file is on my PC. Our software that I'm making the demo of is on the network. but I'm not the "IT Guy" so I can't provide specifics; however, I work at a computer software company and we probably have more servers than employees. The network hardware is kept current. I've been making similar tutorials for 10 years and haven't run into this issue until switching to the subscription Captivate.

  • HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

    There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

    I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
    As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Filliable PDF to Excel- tell me Is there a way to export just the information typed in the fields?

    I created a filliable form with over 100 sections. I purchased Adobe's ExportPDF to extract the information to and Excel sheet. However every time I upload a completed PDF it only converts the format and doesn’t capture any of the fields’ typed information. I thought that was why I named each field something when creating the form.
    Is there a way to export just the information typed in the fields? 

    Hi,
    ExportPDF is just a convertion tool, it is not meant for extracting information out of the form.
    You may want to consider Adobe Acrobat.  You can extract information from form fields via Tools> Forms > More Form Options > ExportData.  If you'd like to try it out, we offer a 30-day trial of Acrobat X Professional for Windows here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tryacrobatpro/

  • I have a macbook pro and two monitors connected via matrox dualhead2go. The display is fine, but there is a lag with the mouse cursor. Matrox technical do not seem to have the answer, anyone else?

    As in the question, everything works fine, but there is a lag with the mouse pointer, latency issue. I have seen on other forums this has been an issue, but with different solutions, and some with no solutions. Matrox technical team have no solutions for me unfortunately, so any similar user experiences would be good.

    I have the same issue....
    Is there any solution ?

    Hi, iPak II user.  Two keyboard keys won't work, and the picture goes haywire sometimes, flashing itself, bak to old stuff, typing in the safari line, all this going on vey fast.   Any fixes out there?

    Sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
    Try a restart or reset to see if that helps. If not, contact Apple Support.
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    If you can't use the mail app now - if it is frozen - quit the app and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down onthe mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.

    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesnt help try resetting the iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Another thrillilng lag when typing

    it's so exciting to have a snag like lagging when typing. I have a Toshiba L675 and suddenly (and without warning) my keyboard is not at times keeping up with my slow typing. One can type a whole word before it shows up on i.e. Outlook 2013 or Google in IE10.
    I am using Windows 8 and nothing installed new. This problem just decided ot create itself to give me grief. Anyone out there have an idea as to what can or is causing this. No viruses / malware. Typing here produces no problem whatsoever, but in IE10 and Outlook 2013 is where my pain lies.
    Help will be appreciated. Thanks!
    (In the highly unlikely event you do not see this posting, please let me know immediately)

    Thanks for the replies. I've done the Reset thing - presently I have disabled all the Addon's. Also, in the Registry, I have in the H-Key_Current_User / Control Panel / Desktop -MenuShowDelay tried from the default number 400 and switched it 100, then 200, then 500, now currently 150, all of which are really making no change.
    I have done the Malware and virus check(s) - done the CCleaner, shut off the smooth scrolling in Outlook 2013, but nothing changes this.
    As to the cpu usuage, it really does not change. I've had the Taskmanager set so it doesn't disappear when I type, and when a word doesn't come up, nothing changes there.
    This thing is sporatic. I can go 30 - 40 seconds typing and no problem then suddenly a word, or three or for letters are typed before it shows up on the screen. Then everything will roll along well and then the problem begins again.
    This problem is something new that's popped up its head within the last four or so days.
    I'm using a Toshiba L675-00X-00X. I've had Windows 8 / IE10 on this unit since October / 12 and not a flaw ... well, until now. But I've seen this on other laptops and somehow got rid of it but just can't remember how.
    Your help / suggestions will be welcomed I'm sure.

  • Extreme lag when typing in Safari

    I get a huge lag when typing an address or search term in safari. It started about a month ago and hasn't gotten any better. It's pretty much driving me nuts.
    Any ideas out there?
    Ray

    See if any of the following help.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Text lags when typing in discussion forums

    While typing an entry in a discussion forum, in this case ''topix.net'', the displayed text will lag far behind the typing. Every so often it will "burp" = the display will refresh, the cursor will jump to catch up, and will leave out anything typed in the interim, causing one to have to go back and insert corrections.
    I can do the same task in IE, and there is no lag, so it is obvioulsy a FF issue. I'm "guessing" it has something to do with the spellcheck function? If I could turn that off, I could confirm.

    The two major causes of this are moving the frame over or next to an object to which text wrap is applied, or specifying that the text should align to the baseline grid and there is no grid line within the bounds of the frame (the frame is not tall enough to span the baseline grid).

  • Lag in Typing in Yosemite's Mail w/ External Apple Keyboard

    Since upgrading to Yosemite I have been having a very annoying problem with delayed typing response in Mail when I have my external USB Apple keyboard (current model with numeric pad).  It is a sporadic issue.  Typing will be responsive, then there are 2-4 second delays in response.  I have only witnessed the issue with Mail and when using the external keyboard.  Problem does not occur in other programs or when using my MacBook Pro's built in keyboard.  Nor did the problem exist prior to upgrading to Yosemite.
    My equipment is a late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina.  When on my desk, I have it connected to a 23" Apple Display (original LCD), USB Apple Keyboard, Logitech cordless Trackman, and a Drobo firewire external drive. 
    Has anyone else witnessed this issue?  Or have an suggestions on correcting?
    Thank you in advance!

    I'll jump in here with a 'me too' post. I originally upgraded my Mid-2010 MacBook Pro from Mavs and noticed a very intermittent 2-5 second lag when typing in Mail. I haven't seen any typing delay in other apps.
    I have also reinstalled Yosemite from the Recovery partition and it didn't help.
    Has anyone spent enough time in Safe Boot (shift key at startup) to see if this text entry delay happens without any 3rd party software? I wonder if we all have some similar 3rd party utility which might be causing this.
    My old MacBook Pro does some really slow/janky video stuff while booted in Safe Mode in Yosemite - I assume Apple didn't include some video driver for my old hardware, so SUM isn't a very good test on my machine.
    Here's a list of a few third party extensions/software I'm running, in case there is a common thread across our machines:
    Keyboard Maestro (keyboard macros) 6.4.7
    Timbuktu (screen sharing) 8.8.5
    Snapz (screen capture) 2.5.4
    ClipMenu (multiple clipboards) 0.4.3
    1Password 5.0.1
    ClamXav 2.6.4 (with Sentry running set to monitor several folders)
    GFXCardStatus 2.3
    Dropbox 2.10.41
    CrashPlan 3.6.4
    Anyone with this problem running any of these utilities?
