Web page refreshes but loses page position

When reading a web page in Firefox 13.01, the web page may automatically refresh. When it does so it returns to the top of the page, not to where I was reading. I find Chrome does return to where I was reading, but not Firefox. How can I set Firefox so it returns to the place where I was reading?

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

How can I make Firefox go back to same web page position

How can I set Firefox to go back to same web page position

Just wait till Firefox ends loading web page. Then it'll be automatically set in to position when you have been leaving web page

Web page in iframe does not maintain scroll position on refresh in FF4

I have a web page on my local drive which refreshes live sports commentary every minute in an iframe.
In FF3.6.x the page in the iframe retained the scroll position of where I had moved to.
In FF4 the page within the iframe goes back to the top so I now have to scroll down every time to where I want to read.
I disabled all addins in FF4 and have tried this on different URLs but the page in the iframe still returns to the top.

Similar problem running a 27" iMac only it occurs in Excel and inDesign. Hit the cell with the curser and the worksheet moves over to the right 7 or 8 cells away. Have to curser back to the cell quite frequently. This issue make the machine unusable when working with those two aps. Today I did the ultimate and completely reloaded Yosemite and the problem is still there.

How can I refresh only a section of a web Page

Hi,
I am generating a web page using pl/sql. This web page has
multiple sections in it. Only first ten records of each
sections are displayed and the user can click on <prev> <next>
button to display the prev/next 10 records. e.g.,
Section 1 - Previous Names
Smith
Owen
McDonald
<<Prev 10 Next 10>>
Section 2 - Previous Addresses
111 State St.
121 Altamont Ave.
48 Apt 1., Bleeker St.
<<Prev 10 Next 10>>
Section 3 and so on ...
My dilemma is that if a user wants to display the next ten
records of a Section (e.g. Previous Names), I only want that
part of the page to refresh instead of the entire page to reload
again (similar to an ASP using Remote Scripting).
Can this be done in Oracle using PL/Sql?
Thanks
Vic

Each Section is independent of the other i.e., the change in the
contents of one section shouldn't affect the contents of another
section. This works fine. I am able to change the contents of
a section without affecting the contents of another section. I
basically keep track of each sections starting position.
Though this works fine and gets me what I want, it's not very
efficient. Each time a section's contents change (by clicking
prev/next) the whole page needs to be reloaded. I want only the
section that was clicked on to reload.
In Active Server Pages (asp), a person can use "remote
scripting" to reload only a part of the page without reloading
the entire page. I was wondering if this could be done using
PL/Sql as well?
I could certainly use frames but that's not an option. Frames
are a big no no here.

Web page is not fully displayed in FireFox, but Chrome

Recently, I have made some changes to my company website, actually just the images of our team. <br />
The size of the image before is 130x130 but we changed it to 127x170.<br />
Everything worked good on localhost but then I uploaded it to the server. I tested the site on Google Chrome first (everything worked nicely) but FireFox didn't show up all the team images as the last line are cropped. <br />
You can have a look at "http://www.webnam.net.vn (Section About->Team). (Make sure you view it on Chrome & Firefox to see the differences here, which I want to say).<br />
I haven't changed anything on CSS (just HTML with some <li> changes). <br />
Thank you for your attention. <br />
Hope someone figured it out already.

Looks the same for me in Firefox and Google Chrome on Linux.
Note that Firefox has the habit of using cached versions of files and may not always retrieve the current version from the server, so you need to refresh those files.
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

I am connected to my remote server and "put files" but the web page files do not update, whats going on?

I really can't figure this out:
So I use a different computer at school for web design, I bought Dreamweaver to work on it at home, I get the files fine from the server that I uploaded at school but then I make changes at home computer and connect and "put" them and I check online and the web page doesn't change one bit.
I don't have the exact file extensions from the computer at school but when I connect and get I have a similar folder(s) set up and then it downloads them into Dreamweaver file manager box and makes the folders there I downloaded. The site shows up fine in Dreamweaver after I "get" so great I thinking.
But... not so fast, I change the page in Dreamweaver, preview n a browser and look right on so I "put", connect to server and upload. Then I check online an its still the same I uploaded the CSS and HTML and dependent files by dragging over and also using the up arrow "put" as well but nothing changes on the web page online.
What is happening here I am so confused?
Thanks a bunch, I mean I can still preview as I go but I really curious why my "put" files don't change my web page like at all!

Have you tried refreshing the browser, or deleting the browser cache?

Refresh an open web page on closing an applet launch from Java Web Start

Hi
I launch an aplication via Java Web Start from a link in a web page. I am looking to a solution to refresh my web page when I close my applet.
Thanks in advance to give me the solution or only to let me know if it's possible or not.

everything's possible. but this is not trivial. there is no direct connection between the html page that launched the app and the app. You can create an indirect connection by having the app notify a server process when it closes and having the page periodically polling the server for the app's status.

When I load Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. No matter what web page I go to the content stays darker than the navigation bar. This just started today. All other applications work fine.

When I bring up Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. This just started today. No matter what web site I go to, the content is darker than the navigation pane.

If it's happening on all sites, then assuming that it's Safari that you're using, have you tried clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (other browsers should have similar options, possibly within the actual app instead of within Settings). You could also try closing the app completely : from the home 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 (or whichever browser you're using) to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try 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.
If it's only happening on a particular site then there may be content on that site that isn't supported on the iPad e.g. flash, java, silverlight

Im having a problem with Firefox opening web pages that i have set as my home page such as Google also will not open Yahoo but will open most bookmarked pages

After starting Firefox the Firefox homepage comes up with the google search, but if i enter anything in the search bar, nothing happens it just says done. Also my homepage is Google, imported from Internet Explorer, but doesn't come up when i start Firefox, And Also at the top on the tab it just says untitled. Now with that being said if i enter in yahoo or yahoo.com in the search tab or even enter in the actual web address, it still doesn't open it just says done at the bottom of the page and nothing happens, But if i go to the Bookmarks also imported from Internet Explorer it will open or display most all of the web pages it just seems to be having problems with search engines such as Google, and Yahoo. Now if i enter Ask.com in the web address search tab it will open that page but if i enter Google.com or Yahoo.com nothing. Also like i said most all bookmarks will open but yahoo or my yahoo that is saved in Bookmarks will not. and nothing happens with any entry made into the Google search displayed on the the Firefox Start Page.

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

How can I to return to the same position on a web page where I left it, rather than automatically getting returned to the top of the page?

It's annoying to keep returning automatically to the top of a web page that I often navigate away from--eg, Google News--rather than to the position I was at when I left it. I've looking over the Firefox settings and can't find where the default can be changed.

Try holding down the ALT key while you hit the left arrow key.
But in some cases, the webmaster may have configured the page to load from the beginning again. There's not much you can do about that unfortunately.

Can connect via WLAN but cant view web pages - 55...

I've only ever used my phone to connect to the net via my wifi (wlan). Today though when I click icons on my home page the white web page browser opens for a few seconds (but stays white) and then disappeared. I've been into settings - connectivity - wireless LAN - and get a successfull connection, but then if I go to options and start web browsing it just goes back to the WLAN wizard. I've even restored the factory settings, and even swapped sim cards but the problem is still there - any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

Since you were connected before, I suggest you perform a reset: 1) *#7780# 12345 restore factory settings, keep data 2) *#7370# 12345 reformat, lose all data. You can try to clean all private data and bookmarks before the reset.

Web page music loads in IE but not Firefox. Have downloaded Windows Media Player Firefox plug in but still nothing. Any other suggestions?

Can't get any sound when I open one webpage in Firefox but sound works in Internet Explorer. sound files are .wmv and mp3 format.
I have Windows Media Player Firefox Plug in installed and set to always activiate. Also have Quicktime & Shockwave activated. Any suggestions. Operating system is Windows 7. Thanks

There are a couple issues here that might be the culprit. One is that the player is hidden using a variety of techniques and Firefox often suppresses hidden content because it can be annoying not to be able to control your experience with media. Another possible issue is that the embed tag doesn't specify a content type. Firefox appears to be guessing anyway, and in my case asking whether to activate the QuickTime plugin, but then nothing plays.
To test what would happen if both of those were addressed, you can run this script using Firefox's Web Console. It grabs the address of the media and creates a new embed that is visible and specifies the content type. Here's how to use it:
Select the following long line of code and copy it:
function reEmbedMpeg(em){var el=document.createElement("embed"); el.setAttribute("type","audio/mpeg"); el.setAttribute("src",em.src); el.setAttribute("style","height:20px;width:200px;position:fixed;right:0;top:0"); document.body.appendChild(el);} reEmbedMpeg(document.querySelector("embed"));
When viewing the problem page, press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the Web Console in the lower part of the tab.
Paste the code next to the caret (>>) on the bottom line and press Enter to run it. A player should appear in the upper left corner, the progress bar should show downloading and then the content should play.
Obviously it's not practical to hack every web page you find, but if this is your site or you would be interesting in contacting the owner, hopefully this post will help in getting this working in Firefox.

Back button doesn't appear after going to a new web page but works from after that

The back button and refresh button don't work when I start browsing in a new tab or a new window. For example, if I open a webpage in a new tab (or start a new session, etc):
Open browser and go to mozilla.com (first web page)
Click on any link (second web page)
Can't click on back or refresh buttons (Greyed out)
Click on any link again (third web page)
Can click on back button to second web page but still won't go back to first web page (as if history of ever visiting the first web page isn't there)
Does anyone have a similar problem or know how to solve it?
I have also noticed that Firefox hangs sometimes, like when clicking on forget/delete this from history and disable/remove add-ons
Thanks.

im not sure but maybe this helps. I was opening links with right mouse button at FF3.6 and second option was open in new tab but at FF4 this option at first order. If you use same way as like me. your new tabs are new windows so there is no back option or refresh.

Help! Safari won't fully load web pages until I refresh! Why and any suggestions on how to retify this??

For several months now safari has not been loading web pages properly (not them all, it is a bit random, but maybe every 3rd or 4th page I open?). The blue loading bar gets to about 1.5 inches from the end and stops. I can then click on the bar and refresh and it loads no problems but this is highly inconvenient and I can't seem to fix it.
I have reset safari, updated all software, I am on a mac book pro, I have Version 5.1.5 safari.
Would this be an internet problem rather than a software problem? How would I check.
It's not very convenient when you're doing something important like trying to get tickets for an event and then it jams, and you know you need to refresh but if you refresh you've lost the tickets...
Any suggestions welcome

Hi Krisztina ..
Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Apple suggests using OpenDNS here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

Pleaseeeeeee Help - Problems with position of my web page

Hi, first sorry on my english
I have problem with position of my page. I had made my web page in Indesign CS5 and exported to swf file. My web page is working fine (www.igor-flytying.com) but the page is not in the middle of the web browser. How can I fix the problem????? I am a beginer in Indesign. I had try to make some changes in html file (salign) but still nothing.
Please HELLLLLPPPPPP
Regards
Aljosa

Petteri, SWFObject is much better because it loads the JavaScript so you don't see it inside the HTML page, but it still wraps the swf in a div which by default will be positioned in the upperleft of the browser window.
This is the only way I've been able to center using SWFObject—note that it's the "flashcontent" div style that does the centering not the align embed parameter:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

</style>
          <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
          <script type="text/javascript">
                    var flashvars = {};
                    flashvars.myFlashVar = "Testing";
                    var params = {}; //Embed parameters: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html
                    params.quality = "best";
                    params.align="t"
                    //SWFObject parameters: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api
                    swfobject.embedSWF("swftest.swf", "flashcontent", "1000", "750", "10.0", false, flashvars, params);
          </script>
</head>
