Vidoe in full screen freezes unless mouse is moved in version 27.0.1

I'm running windows 7 64-bit. You tube videos freeze in full screen only when mouse is inactive. This is not a problem when instant streaming Netflix videos or in internet explorer. I did not have this problem when running windows xp on an old machine a few months back. I tried all the troubleshooting steps suggested: started in safe mode, uninstalled/reinstalled, reset, downloaded most recent version, disabled plugins, checked each plugin separately and I still have the problem. I know there were threads on this issue related to version 25 which seemed to suggest this was a know bug in Firefox that was fixed in newer versions, but it is still an issue with the newest version 27.0.1. It has to be a Firefox problem since I don't have this issue with other browsers and I still had the problem in safe mode. I don't want to change browsers but will be forced to if there isn't a solution to this problem. I also made sure I have the most recent plugin versions of : adobe acrobat, shockwave flash, shockwave for director, silverlight, Java deployment toolkit, and java platform (the last two cannot be "always activated" they are set for "ask to activate") I don't understand much about plugins so I don't know if I have what I need or too much - not sure that would address my issue though.

See [/questions/976293]
The bug has a Target Milestone: mozilla30 and thus is still present in the current Firefox release

Screen Freezes but Mouse Still Moves

Hey I have an iMac with a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors and I am running OS 10.6.7 and my screen freezes (sometimes goes to a black screen or many lines repeated) but my mouse is still able to move, then I have to shut down manually with the power button to reboot. It happens mostly when I am gaming with games such as starcraft 2 but sometimes with Word or Safari.
I have cleared my cache, vacuumed my computer, reinstalled OS X, tried regulating the temperature with smcfan but nothing works. I also took it to futureshop on my warranty and they couldnt help me, nor could multiple Mac Phoneline assistants.
Any solutions?

I added some Crucial Ram to my late '07 iMac (Aluminum, 20", 2.4 ghz),
Apple did some warranty work on it for me, a year or so ago, but.
I jumped up the Ram from 2-4. It's only showing 3 Gb's now.
And, the fans were ALL running at Full Speed! Wow, vacuumed my desk!
Anyway, I came here, and was advised to do several things, but the one that worked,
was 'Resetting the System Managements Controller" SMC.
1 Shut down the computer.
2 Uplug the computer's power cord.
3 Wait fifteen seconds. (HMM, what couldja do?)
4 Attache computer's power cord.
5 Press the power button, to turn computer back on.
I heard a high pitched 'Chong', (Higher than the start up sound), then, the start up sound.
Now, I'm in my comfort zone again!
Dam, if that didn't work wonderfully?!!!
It did!
I hope that this may work for you!
Be well.
PS btw, I still can't get my 2nd stick of Ram to work.
I'm still working on that.
And, my third, Western Dig, 2 TB external HD!
What's with these third party suppliers?
They suck!
Apple has to bring some control back in!
I bought the WD @ a Mac Store, (Cherry Hill, NJ)
The Memory, through Amazon.
Grrrrrrrr!
Hope this works for you, let us know, OK?

Video shocks in full screen & freeze of finder when coping

Hi,
The last few weeks a have two problems with my "new" mac book pro (reatina).
1. When I play video's online (youtube or other provider) the play normaly in small screen but start shocking/flashin in full screen mode. It is not a preformance issue, i check the activity log, their is no heavy load active. I have the problem in Safari and in chrome and with multiple video platforms.
2. The other problem is that my finder completely freezes when i copy large files from my hard drive to a USB stick op my time capsule networkdisk. Finder will continue coping but i can not do anything in finder, i only get the "beachball" and have to wait till it is complete.
Anyone tips how to fix this?

It is possible that the white dot problem could be related to one of the sensors on the camera. The sensor(s), some cameras have one and some have three, record the information for the pixel. I know of one case where the videographer was videoing ballet dancers with a black background and noted a few white dots and that was the problem. If over time it repeats and maybe some more start to show up then that could be the cause.
The camera failure could be caused due to heat or doing a lot of recording with the gain turned up.
I'm not saying that is the problem, only that it is one possibility. Why it "disappeared" the way it did is puzzling.

Full screen freeze on 24" & 20" (video problems)

When going from a game like C & C 3 or full screen windows or just opening and app that refreshes the screen, I get scrambled video and have to do a hard restart. My wife's 20" crashed today when she tried to play a casino game but I was able to get back to the Finder with a force quit. We have only had these a few weeks but thankfully not had any of the granular problems others have reported.
Rob

I have had a plethora of freezing issues on my 20" Aluminum iMac purchased on October 9 from the Apple Store in Nashville. I upgraded to 10.5.X about a week ago and have noticed no change in the frequency or nature of the freezes. I am also using a 21 inch Samsung 215tw monitor as my main screen with the iMac's built in display as the secondary. Is anyone else using a similar setup and if so are you noticing similar errors? Does it change if you lose the second screen? It freezes most often when using Photoshop or when the screen saver activates. Sometimes the screen will just lock up, sometimes Photoshop will become unresponsive and won't reboot after multiple force quits leading me to restart the machine altogether. Other times when the screen saver kicks in the screen will become pixelated and distorted. Other online sources suggest this is a result of faulty, overheating or overclocked graphics cards. Does anyone know if this is the case and if so what is Apple doing about it? I don't want to waste the time of making a Genius Bar appointment and lugging the machine down there just to be given shrugged shoulders. Please help. Thanks.

Firefox 33 linux mint: in full screen no right mouse, no page down and F11 doesn work

Many times F11 doesn't work and I have to enter/exit full screen through the menu.
PageUp / PageDown keys don always work in sull screen

Note that keyboard shortcuts do not work if a plugin (media player) has focus, so you can try to click elsewhere on the web page or in the user interface to see if that helps.

Random screen Freeze, but mouse is responsive

Hi,
For the last month, I have been having random screen freezes , requiring me to hard-boot the computer. During this freeze the mouse is responsive. I wait 15 minutes to see if the freeze goes away before rebooting.
I have re-formatted the disk and installed Mountain Lion, again , but it did not help. Most of the time it seemed to happen when I am using Safari, but this is not always the case.
The hardware tests came clean.
I have isolated the console logs to the following just before the issue happens. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

How can I get docs to fill more of the screen? Where is the "full screen" icon? FindHow said moving the mouse to the top will reveal the tools, but it doesn't. Etc.

Hoping for an answer to my question above.

Hi fruhulda
Given what the OP wrote, he is running Lion (which doesn't display the tools palette when we use the Full Screen mode.)
In this system, there is a Full Screen icon in the right top of the window.
As I already wrote it is made of two small arrows inclided with 45°
The screenshot was made when working in standard mode.
To quit the Full Screen mode just hit Escape.

Quicktime automatic full screen, freezes

About a week ago I started having problems with my Quicktime Player with no obvious cause. When I try to open a video in Quicktime Player, the video automatically goes to full screen and stays stuck on the opening frame. I cannot click anywhere in this screen. The only thing I've found that works is putting my computer into standby mode and starting it up again. When I do this, Quicktime player is open to normal size upon restart but if I hit play, no video shows up (although the counter at the bottom runs).
I have run antivirus and spyware software and updated my Quicktime to 7.6.4 to no benefit. When I visited the Quicktime help website, an embedded quicktime graphic had the same effect (the page loaded, then the graphic went full screen although did animate). How can I fix my Quicktime Player?

To be sure I understand you: this means that I CANNOT have quicktime automatically launch in Full Screen mode. I have to have a keyboard, and press the Ctrl-F.
Between that and not being able to have it auto close, that pretty much eliminates Quicktime from being of any value for my purposes, which is to use it in my theatre environment from my HTPC. I don't want to have to be dragging out a keyboard.

Firefox won't load pages unless mouse is moving or keyboard is pressed

Hello,
I've seen this problem listed several times prior to this post, but none of the solutions have helped me.
I've been using Firefox for ages and the last 3 updates or so have been exhibiting this issue. When I attempt to load a website, Firefox will begin to take me to the page and then hang. The circle in the tab will stop moving and it will sit there until I move the mouse or press a button on the keyboard. As long as the mouse is continuously moving or keyboard buttons are pressed, the page will load fine. The same thing happens with YouTube. The video will start and then freeze unless the mouse/keyboard is moved. Firefox also exhibits this behavior when I try to download a file from a website. The download will start and then hang until I move the mouse or press a button, then it will continue for a few seconds and hang again until I repeat the mouse movement or keyboard button press.
So far, I've tried updating Firefox, Java and Flash; starting Firefox in Safe Mode; uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox: doing a complete uninstall and reinstall of Firefox with profile removal and creation. I've run the following ad and malware detection tools with no infections found: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, AdwCleaner, SuperAntispyware, Microsoft Safety Scanner, Windows Defender, Spybot Search & Destroy, Kasperky Free Security Scan and Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller.
The only thing that I've tried that "seemed" to work was starting Windows in Safe Mode with networking and running Firefox there. I was able to watch YouTube videos without freezing and websites appeared to load properly. Obviously, I can't run in Safe Mode all the time.
I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like when Firefox hangs on Google News. Notice that the images partly load, but a good number of them are either waiting or not loaded.
I hope someone can help me, since I really like Firefox and I'd hate to switch to Chrome or (shudder) IE.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Video won't play unless mouse is moving

When viewing a website with video such as Youtube, the mouse must be moved periodically or the video will stop. I've had this problem for a couple of months and haven't been able to resolve it. I read you could downgrade to v25, turn off hardware acceleration, etc., but none of these solved the issue. I am currently using v27.0. (Also, I don't have this problem with IE, so it must be a Firefox problem.)
Thanks for the help!

I should have mentioned the issue occurs mostly with full-screen mode.

Firefox 3.6.17 doesn't play video, execute javascript, or download unless mouse is moved

If the mouse is moved inside a Firefox window, everything resumes, so long as the mouse keeps moving. Keypresses while Firefox has the input focus also get it going (holding shift down works as well). If the task manager is open and the mouse is stationary over a Firefox window, each probe update performed by task manager will update things once.

Firefox 4 screen freezes and mouse does not click after it opens and clicks fine once or twice

I downloaded Firefox 4 for Mac yesterday. It worked fine all day. Today it opened fine. After one or two clicks of my mouse the screen froze and did not respond to any clicks or mouse movement. I have tried closing and reopening and also downloading Firefox 4 again. No luck. It continues to open fine, work for the first couple of clicks and then freeze. No other part of my laptop is affected. Safari works fine too. So I am guessing it is a problem with Firefox.

My McCaffee was a trial thing, I think. I clicked on it to see if it was updated, and it said it was expired. So I'm just going to uninstall it completely and install AdAware, which is all I've ever used for years and never had a problem.
It occurs to me -- this must (?) have something to do with my new computer... it was slow right out of the box, and I called ASUS tech support the second day I had the puter up and running, and the tech asked me to do a System File Check (SFC), but discovered that the normal pathways through which one would do a SFC (according to him) did not work - the machine would not either recognize them or it would simply swallow the command and then just do nothing... he put me on hold for a few minutes. He came back with a workaround (don't remember it exactly, but it involved a DOS prompt), and I was able to finally run a SFC, which revealed "corrupted files" that had to be "repaired."
In a brand new computer? That can't be a good thing... Maybe the system software factory install was just a bad install? Because I had some slow Firefox issues on my old machine (Acer, dual core, 4gRAM, 2009 machine), but NOTHING like this. This is getting very frustrating. I'm used to just sitting down to my computer and using it, not sitting down and fighting with it for 2 or 3 minutes or more before i can do anything.
