Upgrading from FF 15.1 to Firefox 16, the Bookmark menu is very laggy. Moving the mouse is slow in menu.

I have been using FF 4ever.
After the update to firefox 16, when I drop the bookmark menu down, scrolling thru the menu, the movement is laggy, like stuttering.
If I leave the menu down on the screen and move the cursor across the menu, the mouse pauses and jumps like 3" on the screen. like it hits a border and sticks then jumps across. But then I test and move the mouse across all menus and its laggy. but once I surf or click on a link, its fine. I disabled hardware Accel. to test, no help. I did a clean install of FF by cleaning and deleting all mozilla and firefox folders. no help. So I downgraded to 15.0.1 and all is well. I tested 15 and 16 both with importing the bookmarks and only FF16 is having this issue.
System is Windows XP, SP3 Pentium 4 3.06HT
2GB Ram
ATI Radeon3850 HD AGP card

Weird thing is that if I revert back to FF15, everything works with HA enabled and full bookmark menu.
but its a no go with FF16
PEACE

    Hi efacg,
    Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
    If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]

  • I upgraded from v3 to v6. Firefox Sync lost hundreds of my bookmarks - it kept all the organised ones, but lost all the unsorteds. I'm now facing an inquiry at work, and could cheerfully kill Mozilla. However, is there any way to fix this?

    I upgraded from v3 to v6. Firefox Sync lost hundreds of my bookmarks - it kept all the organised ones, but lost all the unsorted's. I'm now facing an inquiry at work, and could cheerfully kill Mozilla. However, is there any way to fix this?

    I did read what you posted, and will point out once more - the organised bookmarks were kept, the unsorted - the majority - were lost. I tried accessing them THROUGH sync as I couldn't find them before I started sync and thought that might help. Really didn't. Sync was only loaded with version 6, never used it on 3. Updated from 3 to 6; tried to find bookmarks. All unsorted ones GONE. accessed sync; no bookmarks. went back to three. never shifting again, version 6 is a quick trip to hell. Should have known not to trust the program to preserve bookmarks, blame myself for being so bloody stupid to trust it to keep my information safe. Moral: always save multiple backups.

  • I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox and my bookmarks don't appear to have been transferred. The FAQ's say it should be in a folder marked Internet Explorer in the "Bookmarks Menu", but it's not there.

    Did you see a "Bookmark" tab in your Menu Bar? All of your IE Favorites should be there if you pull it down.
    FYI, It's called Bookmarks in Firefox.

    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and later.) 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 installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
    Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    Wait for installer to finish loading.
    E. If updating:
    Download and install update(s) 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).

  • I'm upgrading from Lightroom 4 for Win to Lightroom 5 for Mac. Can I buy the upgrade version?

    I'm upgrading from Lightroom 4 for Win to Lightroom 5 for Mac. Can I buy the upgrade version?

    Yes.
    Unlike most of Adobe's perpetually licensed software, the Lightroom serial number is multi-platform: works on Mac and/or Windows. You just need the correct installer for the platform (.dmg for Mac or .exe for Win).
    If you own any previous version of Lightroom then you can buy the upgrade to LR5.

  • After updating to Firefox 5 on a Windows 7 PC the bookmarks icon won't stay on the toolbar and I can't click it to get a bookmarks column on the left side of the screen, how do I fix it?

    There was no bookmarks icon on the toolbar. I used View > Toolbars> customise to put various icons on the toolbar all of which were visible using "customise". On going back to Firefox all the other icons remained visible but the Bookmarks Icon disappeared leaving no means of getting a bookmarks column on the left of the screen when using Firefox.

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar<br />
    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • I have different bookmarks that I want to keep on each computer, will sync delete the bookmarks on one computer and overwrite the bookmarks from the other computer in their place

    I have not used sync yet, but I have the gut feeling there is going to be a problem if I do. I have different bookmarks that I want to keep on each computer. Will sync delete the bookmarks on one computer and overwrite the bookmarks from the other computer in their place? So I'm guessing it will erase the bookmarks on the second computer that you set up to sync. Is there a way to merge the bookmarks from each computer into one bookmark library that contains all the bookmarks from both computers, so that I don't lose any bookmarks by syncing?

    Hi,
    Firefox Sync works by merging all the info in all your computers. It doesn't replace anything. So if you have information A in one device and information B in other device, after setting up Sync you will have information A+B in both devices.
    I hope this clarifies the situation.

  • How to I stop safari from automatically resizing the bookmark bar when I click on the search bar?

    there is probably an eloquent way to ask this but I don't even know what the feature is called.
    Here is what it's doing:
    I'm using safari in landscape mode on my iPad.
    I click on the search bar and then the bookmarks come up below.
    It takes a second to automatically resize to a size that make no sense, usually cutting off bookmark titles...and the delay of it resizes drives me nuts.
    Safari did not used to do this until I guess ios 8. Any ideas how to stop this annoying "feature"??

    Try deleting the Cache.db...
    Quit Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari ...
    You may want to try the Safari Reading List as an alternative to tabs.
    Click the eyeglass icon just to the left of the Bookmarks icon top left side of the Safari window.
    Drag the url to the window or click Add Page

    When trying to customize-organise the Firefox 17 does not allow the bookmarks toolbar to be placed above the tabs toolbar is there a solution other than reverting to a previous version of FF?

    # Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
    # Press the big button to bypass the warning.
    # In the search box, paste ''browser.tabs.onTop''
    # In the search results, double-click ''browser.tabs.onTop'' to set its value to '''false'''.
    Note: If you're using either Windows 7 or Vista with an Aero Windows theme, performing the above will make a large part of the Firefox window glassy. If you find this unpleasant, the simplest thing to do is to install a persona.

  • After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, Firefox lost all my stored passwords, never asks to save them, even though I've checked box for saving them, have made sure history is not cleared, and am not in Private Browsing.

    In Windows 7, Firefox 8.0 does not ask to save passwords, and does not save, them, even though I checked the box to save passwords. I have confirmed that clearing history is not on and that I am not in Private Browsing. This is so frustrating, it almost makes me want to go back to Vista. I have looked at all the suggestions to fix the problem in "Help" and have followed the suggestions, and none of them help.

    I have the TX2 1012NR and its can upgrade just fine!  Here is a few recommendations "only if u have the HP Upgrade program disks"
    If you have them you can install a clean copy and delete everything... Do not use the use me first disk included because it prompts you to install an older BIOS....  Just use the windows 7 upgrade disk and start the process.  The clean install clears your entire drive but does not void your warranty!   When you use the use me first disk after the install it actually loads everything else needed to get you up in running.  The touchscreen driver and the HP Mediasmart programs will have to be downloaded from the HP support site.  Once again its recommended that if there were any programs installed delete them do not try to update them!  This causes issues and countless errors.  Specifically with touchscreen drivers etc uninstall them before installing the ones from HP support.  I found this was not the easy way to do it but the best way...  I also recommend that when doing any sort of BIOS update that you remove your Battery and leave it connected to a power cord only!  Last but not least if you really mess up and its under warranty... Send it to HP they will set it back up to factory defaults under Windows Vista with the more up to date BIOS installed.  I hope my information helps! Sure you might loose some programs but in the end your computer runs faster and smoother because all the programs installed are made for Windows 7....  Also they did release the Touch Pack for download from the Microsoft website here is a link telling more about the features and benefits and how to get it as it is a totally free download...

  • Upgraded from Vista ultimate to Win. 7. Don't know how to install the tv tuner

    I upgraded from Vista ultimate to Win. 7. When I tried to install the TV tuner, nothing seemed to happen.

    Save the TV Tuner driver to the desk top and use 7zip to extract the files. There may be a folder there named SRC. Open that and look for the Windows install icon.
     If you give me your full model number and the version of W7 (32 or 64 bit) you are running I can help you further with this manual installation procedure.
