When I click on a bookmarked link, the text jerks up and down for a few seconds

I wrote a file written in HTML, with no fancy coding. The file is http://www.pathologyoutlines.com/jobs.html. When you click on the hyperlink on this line near the top:
Click ''' here''' to view new Jobs posted over the past 120 days (most recent first)
the screen jerks up and down a few times before stopping, at least on some computers. It is a simple bookmark. If you click on the link again, it doesn't happen. However, if the page changes, it does the "jerking" again.
I have checked and rechecked the code, and can't find any problems.
What do you think?

Your link works fine for me in Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows 7.

There may be a problem with one of the files that stores details of installed extensions. Try deleting these files as shown in the "Corrupt extension files" section of this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
Though that article is not specifically about your problem, the method shown in the corrupt extension files section may help. When you restart Firefox after deleting those files, the list of installed extensions is rebuilt and this will hopefully fix your problem.

When I try to install an Add-on, it loads completely and then says "A few seconds remaining" and never progresses. What should I do to remedy this?

When I try to install an Add-on, it loads completely and then says "A few seconds remaining" and never progresses. My connection and computer are working fine. I have the latest version of Firefox, it is up-to-date. I am getting this Add-on for the mozilla website, what do I need to do differently?

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

You can set the pref browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone -> false

Why does the text jump up and down when I'm trying to read or click on something? It's damned annoying. How can I stop it

Home page or email page, the page jumps up and down at random and when I try to click on something I often miss and end up clicking something I don't want. It gets real annoying and I can't find where to stop it. Why did someone think to do this in the first place. I've learned new profanity because of it.

My MacBook Pro, even when connected to the power chord, will turn on for a few seconds then shut back off. Any ideas on what is wrong?

I Am trying to turn on my MacBook Pro laptop, but when I do, it starts to turn on for a few seconds then shuts off again. It has around 80% charge and even if the power chord is connected it won't turn on. Need some help because I am out of the US right now and there are not a Mac store or anything that I could go to.

HAve you tried using a different power chord? If the power chord is not the issue, it could be the power supply inside your mac.

In Mac Mail 4.5, how do I set preferences so that when I click on an email link the webpage opens in Firefox instead of Safari?

I want to click on a link in an email and have the webpage open in Firefox instead of the default which is Safari.

Hi roundabout-
I was able to see links in Mac Mail 4.5 open in Firefox. I had the Firefox application open, and when I clicked a link in the mail client it opened correctly. I'm sorry if this is not helpful. Is Firefox set as your preferred browser?

When I click on a bookmark in the listing, nothing happens. If I right click and click on "Open In New Tab" the page loads. I am using version 14.0.1

Firefox just updated to version 14.0.1. When I clicked on one of my book,marks from the listing, nothing happened. The page did not load. If I right click on the bookmark and choose " Open in a New Tab", the page loads in a new tab. None of my bookmarks will work by simplying clicking on them from the listing.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When right clicking to send a link , the` send link` option does not appear as n option on the menu list.

the ``send link`` option just disappeared..It happened immediately after an automatic update to firefox when my computer has to be restarted about a month ago.
sometimes a ``copy link location`` will be on the list...and that will allow me to send on a link..but normally now it rarely appears and send link has disappeared entirely from the right clicked menu box.

hello bblauman, mozilla does clean up the interface of the browser from time to time - a user study has shown that this context menu entry is only used by a small fraction of the users. however, in case you miss this functionality you could use an addon to recover it: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/send-link-in-context-menu/

When I click on a page link the new page doesn't open

Everything about the problem is contained above.
The same sites work fine in other browsers

It would help to know what the problem page link is. <br/>(If it is only one page not opening, clear the browser cache, and that site's cookies)
*If it happens on all links are you able to open files on your local computer with firefox?
*Is it only pages on the internet that will not open?
* are you posting this message from another computer ?
* have you tried in [[safe mode]]
*# Open in safe mode, e.g. use the option from the menu that says restart with add-ons disabled
*#* do not make changes in the first options Window, just click on restart
*# Use only the default theme
*# if the problem persists, then whilst still in safe mode disable all plugins

When I click on a movie link, the movie sound plays through my telephone instead of my external speakers

When I open Gmail in Firefox, the secure (padlock) icon appears only for a few seconds; the connection then recycles and goes to the triangle alert icon.

When I open or refresh Gmail in Firefox, the secure padlock icon appears at first, but within a few seconds the connection then refreshes itself without me opening anything or moving the mouse. The secure icon is then replaced by the alert triangle, which displays a message when I hover over it saying "This website does not supply identity information." I have already changed the Images setting to Ask Before Displaying External Images, but it had no effect on this behavior. This same change happens on other secure websites, but not as consistently it does on Gmail.

If there is mixed passive content (e.g. images) then Firefox shows an exclamation mark instead of "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location bar.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and search for lines with [mixed] to see if that allows to identify the mixed content.

My iPhone will not power on. When on a charger or plugged into a computer, the apple logo will come on for a few seconds, go off within a second, then come on every minute or so and do it again. This is all without ever actually powering on.

I have tried all methods of resetting and it still does the same thing. iTunes does not even recognize the phone. Any ideas on the issue?

Hello Breanneg,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
Best of luck,
Mario

I can open Facebook or Yahoo mail, but when I click to do something else the first time Firefox hangs up for at least 5 minutes.

I just went to Internet Explorer (which I am doing this on) and opened up Facebook and didn't have any problems, so I assume Firefox is the problem. However, I usually cut Firefox off when I get out because it also seems like it too often stays up after I get out of it.

After watching a music video or a home movie for a few minutes in my ipad, when i go back to home screen the colors look lighter and weird for some seconds, is that normal? Thanks

IT has happened to me like three times, i use my ipad all day literally and it gets kind of hot, i have tried to take a screen shot to show it but the last time it happened(thethirth time) i was shocked, i wanted this product for so long and if this is a big problem i would be very dissapointed, please help!

Your iPad should not get "kind of hot", but since that is subjective, what is hot to you may not be hot to me. But no matter what, it should not get too hot to hold comfortably. I use my iPad all day long a work and it never gets hot.
If you are getting shocked when you are using the iPad, that doesn't sound normal either. But once again, that is sort of subjective as well.
My suggestion would be to take your iPad to an Apple Store and let an Apple Genius take a look at it just to be sure that there isn't nothing wrong with it. It is still under warranty and if there is a hardware, problem, it can be replaced under the warranty.
