Web pages randomly jump back

Web pages randomly jump back a page or two for no reason. It sometimes happens when I'm not touching the trackpad or the magic mouse. I am using a MacBook Pro O SX Version 10.7.4. It happens with Safari, Firefox and Google Chrome.

I'm having that problem with Firefox, but as I'm on the beta release, I thought that it was just a bug in Firefox. I seldom use Safari and never use Chrome, so I don't know if it's just an occasional problem with the OS or with my MacBook Pro.

When I am on Safari, the page randomly goes back to the previous page I was on. This is really frustrating when I am writing something online because it does not save my work. Fix for this?

Web pages keep moving back and forth

Having just bought a IMAC can anybody tell me how to stop my web pages from moving back and forth before it decides to settle.

Hi...
Sounds like you are moving your finger sideways over the mouse.... ?
That function enables you to move back and forward in your browsing history.

Web page keeps jumping to top when scrolling down.

When I scroll down a web page on my Macbook Air with 2 fingers, it keeps jumping up to the top again. This started yesterday, did not happen before.
Also, a rectangle of various sizes has started to appear on the page and this is most annoying.
Any help to rectify this would be appreciated.

Hi ottodv,
I was not able to reproduce this issue on my Flame device running v2.1.
This may be an issue specific to Geeksphone's build of Firefox OS. Are you able to reproduce this issue with other versions of Firefox OS?

Opening any link causes location in current page to jump back to top of page.

I have FF set to open all new windows in a new tab which was the default setting. Whenever I open a link, the new link will open in another tab, but on my current page/tab I will be transported back to the top of my current page/tab. You can imagine how annoying this is especially on long pages. Does anyone have a solution for this? One thing I have tried is highlighting some text near the link I am about to open and sometimes this will prevent the page from moving back to the top when I open the link, but not always. Thanks for looking, (FF 3.6.18 on linux)
-This occurs whether I have FF set to switch immediately to new tab, OR not.

Thank you Cor-el! That did the trick, but I'm not sure why.
Just FYI I restarted in safemode, and chose to continue without selecting any of the options just as you said. I tried clicking on links further down in the page, and the page DIDN'T jump back to the top! I checked to make sure the default theme was selected which it already was.
When I restarted Firefox in normal mode, it continued to do the right thing and did not jump to the top for each link open. I have no idea why your solution worked, maybe it reset something? anyways, thank you again, wonderful help!

Safari 6.0.1 won't load web pages randomly, and says website unavailable/no connection. But, all my other devices do have a great connection. Is there a fix for this problem?

I recently bought OS X mountain Lion, and safari 6.0.1 was running great for a short period of time when it stopped loading the web pages. It will randomly do this now and then. I try resetting safari to no avial, and when I do a system reset it provides a temporary fix. It's very annoying problem. I know it is not a connection problem because all my other devices get internet connection. Safari will say no connection/web site is unavailable. The OS I have is OS X ML 10.8.2. Any suggestions?

I do a system reset
System reset ???
Try a different DNS ...

Then click OK.
Try Safari.

Why do my web pages always revert back to the top of web page. running safari latest browser

Is this happening to a webpage that requires a cookie or cache? It is possible either cookie or cache is corrupted. Cookies are frequently used to manage your passwords securely.

My home page is set to google & is always open, after i open new tabs to other web pages & then go back to the original home page tab it is frozen or if not frozen you try to do a search & it displays nothing (blank page white background)

If the above problem occurs I can open a new home(ie google) in a new tab & it works every time.
When original home page isnt frozen & will let you do a google search but displays blank you cannot return to the original page (ie using back button or home button).
When the page is frozen you can do nothing with it.

# Click the orange Firefox button, then select Options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
#Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"

Since downloading 18.02, all of my web pages have reverted back to an 8x11 frame. How can I return it to widescreen view?

When I go to a news web page, it loads with 4:3 aspect ratio, instead of the previously 16:9. This is not limited to one website, and is a distinct change since downloading the newest version. I have not downloaded or changed anything else that would have caused this.

My resolution has been and continues to be 1280x720. The change occurred directly after downloading 18.02 I have checked my settings and they continue to state my resolution is unchanged. I have checked the health of my video card and driver, they also state they are working properly. My assumption is that 18.02 is in conflict with another of the programs on my PC, although no conflicts are reported. The only other thought I had was my video card is going, even though it seems to pass any test I throw at it. Any suggestions welcome, and thanks in advance.

Time Capsule timeouts when accessing secure web pages, downloading apps, backing up to iCloud, etc.

Last week I upgraded my broadband connection to fibre, requiring me to install a different router because the Draytek one I had in place was not suitable, so I went for a Time Capsule. My other devices are a 13” MacBook Air, an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4.
Web browsing performance was immediately fantastic, with consistent readings on the Mac of 12ms ping, 35Mbps+ download speed and 1.5Mbps+ upload speed. One oddity I did notice when running a speed test (using speedtest.net), but which I didn’t think about much at the time, is the time taken between finishing the download test and starting the upload test. In my previous experience there would be only a few seconds between them, but on my new fibre connection through Time Capsule it takes anything from 30 seconds to a minute for the upload test to begin.
However, a few days ago I tried to download some app updates in iTunes to the Mac, but after a wait I received a message that the network connection had timed out. I tried again multiple times and each time the result was the same.
I then Googled the problem to see what might be causing it, but I found I was not able to access any results from the Apple Support Communities pages because the browser would time out with a network connection error, or they would take an absolute age to load. Subsequently, I have also discovered that I cannot backup my iOS devices to iCloud (it tries for ages and then says there was an error), I cannot log in to any online accounts (the browser eventually times out with a network connection error) and I cannot send email from the mailbox that syncs with my work Exchange account. I have also realised that the Apple Support Communities pages are secure, so the common theme seems to be there is a problem accessing anything that requires security/authentication/encryption.
This is not a Wi-Fi issue as it is the same when I switch off Wi-Fi on the MBA and attach it to the router via an Ethernet cable.
It is also not a Mac/iPad issue, as both function normally on my work Wi-Fi network.
I have reached the end of my limited technical tether, so does anybody have any suggestions please?

Hi,
Many thanks for taking the time to respond.
Bizarrely, after more than a week of problems and time wasted in trying to resolve them, I arrived home from work today to find that everything is working perfectly. The network is exactly as it has been all week and when I called my ISP they said they had changed nothing on the line, so it's a complete mystery.
I'm happy it's working, but it would have been nice to understand what caused the problem, just in case it happens again.
Anyway, thanks again and sorry for wasting your time.

HT5957 How if even poss do I go back to old pre 7 O.S. My vision is impaired and new O.S.7 is difficult at best to see clearly and now can't zoom favorite web pages!

How if even possible do I go back to pre O.S.7 after wi-fi update? My vision is impaired and new O.S.7 is difficult to see and I can no longer zoom my fav web pages? I backed nothing up of coarse and I don't have access to my desk top not that it would run for 10 mins without crashing? Help! Going blind!!

Sorry, you can't downgrade. Look: Settings>General>Accessibility...things like Bold Text...see if any changes here will help.

Help with actionscript to make page jump back to top

Ok so I wanted the page to jump back to the top when the
buttons are pressed. I found some help in an old thread. It worked
great but for the first button only that i put the script on. All
the others don't work at all. Even if its the same button just on a
different frame. Not sure what i am doing wrong at all. I really
don't know anything about actionscript so if anyone can please help
me. Below is the script that i added to the tree buttons and the
script i added to the html code.
thanks- joe
Button1:
on (release) {
nextFrame();
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call('pageTop');
Button2:
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(1);
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call('pageTop');
Button 3:
on (release) {
prevFrame();
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call('pageTop');
At the top of my html:
<head>
<script http-equiv="Content-Script-Type"
content="text/javascript">
function pageTop() {
window.scrollTo(0,0);
</script>

you don't need all the import statements but the problems are
likely caused by your buttons failure to exist when the timeline
goes to the frame indicated in the line above the externalinterface
call().
