Hi chazzn, welcome to the HP Forums. That happens to me when using my notebook, when my palms accidentally activate the TouchPad. What is the model number of your computer? What version of Windows is installed?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Punch in problem-Why does cycle mode activate and snap to somewhere else when I set up a punch?

    Punch in problem-Why does cycle mode activate and snap to somewhere else when I set up a punch?

    Because whoever programmed it must be ********, I've dealt with this issue long enough.  I've sent Apple feedback on this issue long ago and nothing has been done yet.  The only work around is to try and remember that every time you double click in the punch line to hit the c button to turn it off before you start recording or you have to drag your punch line around all the time, what a pain in the ***.

If I type a 5 it says I typed a 7 or if i press backspace It says i pressed "m" . I can't do alomost anything on it now. I tried restarting it, reseting it, I even set it back to factory settings but nothing is working. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?

  • When I open Firefox, the panel that you type in is missing, the curser is there ,and when you click into it and start typing, nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest updates to no avail.

    The only way I can carry on a search, is to click on Google, and that takes me to another screen, with a panel to type into, and that works fine.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to 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"
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • So I just got my iphone, and i was trying to get it to download songs on my phone, when the phone suddenly died, and even though im charging it right now, it still won't turn on, been going on about 30 min to an hour now

    So i just bought my Iphone, and i was trying to put songs on it from Itunes, when it suddenly turned off, and even though i have been charging it for the last hour, can not get it to even work, any suggestions?

    Try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Where is "cut" command in Mac? Why I cannot cut a file/folder and paste it somewhere else?

    I'm a professioinal who made the big step to pass from Windows to Mac. I do not regret it but there're things I cannot understand and i supposed being much easier or "native" in Mac.
    Tipical example is the Cut command. I see it in Finder but why doesn't if work? Drag and drop do not copy but works like a ct and paste! I think if for mac this is enough Apple is gonna make it work bacause is a HUGE limit, specially for people like me who manage thousands of photos and cannot risk to drop huge amounts of files in a go or in a wrong folder of such.
    Please tell me I'm wrong and there's a way to sort it out!
    Thanks.

    You can cut and paste items with Finder, a new feature in Lion, but it doesn't use the command-X "cut" command and is not very intuitive.
    Highlight the item(s) to be moved, and type command-C to copy it. Then navigate to the destination window, and rather than pressing command-V (or Edit>Paste item) , instead press Option-command-V (or hold down option when using the Edit menu). This changes "paste" into "move item here", i.e, the item will disappear from where it was copied. The result is equivalent to a "cut and paste."

  • Can I uninstall CS6 from my 2nd computer (laptop) and install it somewhere else, later on?

    I currently have a desktop and laptop with my CS6 (student version). My boss has CC and told me I could install it on either my desktop or laptop to work from home and avoid having to save files from CC to CS6 version etc.
    I think that's fine but I was wondering if I could uninstall my CS6, then if in the future I need to install it on another computer or back onto my laptop, can I do that? I still have the disks and everything.
    Is there anything I should keep in mind?
    I was also wondreing if it was safe to work on the design files directly from the company's dropbox rather than saving it to the computer?

    Hi robledesigns,
    With a single license you can activate the product on a maximum of two machines.
    If you wish to use the program on a third machine you will have to deactivate it from one of the previous machines.
    You need not uninstall the program though, you ca just deactivate the program & later on if you wish to use it again on the same machine, you can reactivate it.
    Its not recommended to work on the project files saved on dropbox. It may result in undesirable response.
    Save the files on the local drive & at the end of the day when you are done, transfer the files to dropbox.
    Thanks    

  • Music Player N96 - Music starts to skip and make h...

    Hi,
    I recently have purchased the Nokia N96. I had a N95 which I loved and naturally thought the N96 would be a good upgrade (Which it is). My problem is that when I am playing Music (occasionally) The tracks skip and start to make horrid sounds. These tracks where all on a 2Gb Micro SD card and worked fine on my N95. I moved the tracks onto the Mass Memory. This has only started recently, I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem?
    Thanks

    the cure is to update the firmware. when nokia release new phones some have problems with the playback of music. so in a firmware update they fix the problems and update the audio codecs.
    what happend to you happend to me but with my n91 when i first got it. updating firmware cured the problem.

  • When I open fire fox and open uther lings I'm geting masage that fire fox is not resonding and some time loads after a while and some time not.

    When I open fire fox and start opening tabs it tell me that fire fox is not responding and after a while some time will open and some time not. What can I do to correct this. If I need to reload the fire fox let me know how I don't wont to loose all my book marks. Thank you for your help.

    Try to update to Firefox 24 (just been released).
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
