Firefox is very slow to come up when I click on its desktop icon -- hourglass disappears. Sometimes it does not intiate at all after 3 minutes. A second click may bring up two instances of Firefox.

A second click may not get a response, and a third click may then bring up three instances. But sometimes second and third clicks may just bring up one instance. And many times, Firefox comes right up the way it is supposed to.
This delayed initiation happens almost all the time when I first turn on my computer. But it also happens frequently at all other times.

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

Trackpad doing it's own thing after upgrade

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro which I updated to Lion yesterday. A few hours after the update my trackpad began dragging, right clicking, jumping, doing gestures when I was just moving the cursor around, using one finger.
Closing the lid, restarting the computer or doing the P+R-thing during startup temporarily makes things normal again, which is why I think it's a software problem. Any ideas how to fix this?
NOTE: I can use a USB-mouse without any problems, it's only the trackpad acting up.

have u had any response? i'm getting the same thing !

Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

I have been a happy user of Firefox for many years. Around last April first I opened Firefox and was offered an update to v 4.42.0.0 which I accepted. Installation seemingly went well. I forget now exactly what happened but the result has been that ever since April 1 I haven’t been able to open the Firefox browser when clicking on the Firefox icon. My computer now was running very slowly. I tried to uninstall Firefox, but a popup told me I couldn’t because Firefox was in use. This confused me because I couldn’t see it being used. Only now I have found that on Task Manager processes that “firefox.exe” was consuming 99 % of the CPU. After removing firefox.exe by clicking End Process my computer ran better. I uninstalled Firefox I had on my computer and installed Firefox 5.0. Unfortunately I have the same problems: Firefox does not open when clicking on the icon, the firefox.exe process consumes 99 % of the CPU and my computer runs slowly.

Born2die! Brilliant. I am a desktop clicker and never knew Firefox had a safe mode.
Thank You!
I was unable to start in safe mode initially. The second time I disabled all of the Add-Ons and she started up just fine. I enabled them one by one hoping to track down the culprit but the problem seems to have gone away.
BTW I am running ver. 3.6.8 (in response to cor-el's earlier post) and
Firefox is in the process of downloading 3.6.10 (which I am starting to think may have been what caused this whole problem to begin with)
Incidentally, whats up with all of the Java Console Add Ons?
I have:
Java Console 6.0.11, Java Console 6.0.13, Java Console 6.0.15
Java Console 6.0.17, Java Console 6.0.20, and Java Console 6.0.21
What are they? Do I need them? Can I uninstall them? Is this due to using Open Office?
Also, .NET Framework 0.0.0 Should I uninstall it?

Why is quick selection erasing my selection with second click?

I click the selection with my quick selection tool and then when I click again to continue selecting more, the second click starts removing my current selection. I know holding the "option" key removes my selection but I'm not holding down the "option" key. It just starts doing it when I do my second click and then continues removing even if I keep clicking. I just updated Photoshop but that did not help. I have Photoshop CC. Please help.

This is most likely caused by you having clicked the "Subtract from selection" button at some point in time, in the tool settings, see attached picture. If you have no selection when you start using the tool, it will create one, but as soon as there's a selection active the tool will start to Subtract. Every tool in PS remember it's settings! As Pierre suggests, resetting your tool will fix this or just by clicking the "New Selection" button. It can be a pretty good idea to reset your tools the first thing you do every day when starting a new work session to avoid this kind of problems.

Recently my track pad (in my Mac Book Pro) does not respond to 'clicking' commands.

Recently my track pad (in my Mac Book Pro) does not respond to 'clicking' commands. It does just fine with a USB cable mouse. What do I do?

Are you tapping to click or physically clicking? If you're clicking, does the trackpad button go down all the way?

Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

How could I solve this issue? And am I able to solve it myself or do I have to sent it to repair at Mac centre in singapore and how much would it cost?

Try SMC reset, followed by NVRAM reset.
Note there are two different procedures for SMC depending on whether or not you can remove the battery yourself.

I just upgraded to the New OS on my Mac Book Pro and now my trackpad does not zoom in or out. I looked at system settings on trackpad and it is set, but does not work How do I get it started?

This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
Here's the link for the safeboot

Macbook Pro trackpad taps but doesn't click.

I have a 2009 macbook pro and the trackpad taps but doesn't click. I was wondering if something can be done to fix it so the click works again without taking it in to get fixed? I am currently using a wireless mouse, which is okay but just gets annoying to use sometimes. But if anyone knows of any tricks that might make the click on the trackpad work, that would awesome!

There are no stickers involved in determining a warranty. Check here:

Even if your warranty has expired, the examination at an Apple store genius bar is free. If repairs are needed you will be informed of the costs. A trackpad repair/replacement should not bust the bank account.
Ciao.

My JButton inside a JTable cell does not respond to clicks

I have a Jtable which extends AbstractTableModel and uses an arraylist to fill the data in the model. The first column of this table is my button column. I have a class for my button coumn which is:
class MyButtonCol extends AbstractCellEditor
        implements TableCellRenderer, TableCellEditor, ActionListenerMy button column class has getTableCellRendererComponent and getTableCellEditorComponent. My problem is that the button shows on the table but it does not respond to clicks. Any help will be appreciated.

That does not seem to be the problem. I have the method in my class but it still does not respond to clicks. This is my AbstractTableModel class:
class WorklisttableModel extends AbstractTableModel{
     protected static List<Worklist> transaction;

              Worklist row = (Worklist)transaction.get(rowIndex);
              switch(columnIndex){
                  //case 0:return "";
                  case 1:return " "+row.getModality();

MY WIRELES TRACKPAD DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. HOW CAN I REPAIR IT?

THE WIRELESS TRACKPAD DOES NOT DETECT THE DIFERENCE BETWEEN 3 AND 4 FINGERS.
THE PROBLEM STARTED AS SOON AS I INSTALLED OS X LION.

That's a very important component of your phone, tiffanymoyle. Let's see what we can do to get your keyboard back up and running correctly. What issues are you encountering with the keyboard? Do certain letters not register when pressed? Does it make a difference if you turn your phone to function in landscape mode?

Firefox does not start by clicking on the icon in RHEL 5.

Firefox does not start by clicking on the icon in RHEL 5 on thin clients, also the internet proxy server usename is not accepted for java applets on webpages. However while using Firefox on the servers directly everthing works fine. This issue occurs on a server thin client environment, where the home directories are located on a 5 TB storage connected using SAS cables to the servers.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, 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.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display

Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display. It's weird. Behavior is fine until I drag any browser window to the attached second display, and after this point it stops opening new windows but will still open new tabs in the same window. Restart fixes it until I drag the window back to the second display.
"Show all bookmarks" stops working too--won't open a new window.
This is after clean reinstall with total deletion of any Firefox/Mozilla folders and the previously installed app and a restart of the computer.
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Firefox 4

Pretty sure this is either:
'''Bug 644733'''
or
'''Bug 609405'''
(...and they may be reporting the same thing.)
