While using firefox, when mouse over link causing monitor to crash

Windows 7; Dell studio xps
On mouse over a link/photo link and/or click on a link and my monitor goes into standby mode. Monitor still on (as is my computer) but cannot reestablish visual on monitor. Have used Explorer in the past and never had this problem. This error happens almost every time when I perform an image search with Google then mouse over a resulting image.

Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].

  • While using Firefox when I click the mouse or when typing like this I get the Mac spinning color wheel and any action is delayed about 10 seconds.

    I'm on an iMac, 10.4, Firefox 3.6.20 and the problem is occurring with greater frequency. When I installed 3.6.20, it ran perfectly for a short time, but now the spinning color wheel happens on almost every mouse click and it makes using Firefox an impossibility. I tried the Apple installed Safari and had no difficulties. It does not occur when I use Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 either. I will appreciate any help because I rely on Firefox. Thanks.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Change Cursor When Mousing Over Links In Plug-in Manager

    As it stands, the links are blue - which is fine, but when you mouse over them the cursor doedn't change (nor does the link itself) so they don't look like they're hot. If the mouse doesn't change the link should or something (anything) so the user can tell they're links.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    the above sol will only help you to see the cursor on the local machine
    to make it visible on every machine
    goto column properties >> additional CSS>>in css write cursor:default
    then save changes system wide for these data type
    Also make the same changes in the other datatypes also.......

  • Mouse freezes for a short burst when mousing over links in Gmail?

    As the 'question' says. Gmail in IE doesn't exhibit this issue. My add-ons are Delicious, Xmarks, IBM CCK, Java Console, Java quick starter, and MS .net framework assistant. No themes. Seems to line up with the latest Firefox release of 3.6.8.

    I fixed this problem. The problem was my Ipod being plugged into the computer. Every time the ipod was plugged in, firefox stuttered and lagged as stated. I noticed when I had my ipod unplugged for a while to use another usb device, firefox was fixed, I thought it was the update that week that fixed it. Couple days later I plugged my Ipod back in, problem returned. But, ever since I started charging my ipod elsewhere, the problem has disappeared. So, anyone still having this problem, check to see if you have an ipod, iphone, or another usb storage device plugged in.

  • My firefox 4 crashes very frequently almost once every time i use it. I didn't have this problem while using firefox 3.6. I have sent many crash reports but was never contacted about them. I didn't find any specific cause of these crashes. Kindly help!

    There is no particular pattern of freezes. It may happen any time whether there are any number of active tabs 2,3,4 what ever. I didn't get signatures for some of my crash reports for the reason that the active cause of crash couldn't be identified. I have added some crash I.D's as well.

  • Safari 7.0 problem when hovering over links

    Recently updated to Mavericks and Safari 7.0.  Now encountering a problem with my wordpress website www.robinmandel.net (and several other sites that use the same theme evince the same problem.)  Problem is: some links, both text and images, are now jumping around when moused over, making them impossible to click and disrupting the formatting of the page.  Same problem with Chrome.  Firefox works fine.  I've looked at my site on an older machine with Safari 6 and no problem.  Thoughts?

    Use another theme.

  • When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with each letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back.  The problem occurs in both MS Word and Pages.  Any idea of how to resolve this annoying problem is appreciated.  System: 10.10.1

    When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with every letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back.  The problem occurs in both MS Word 2011 and Pages.  Any idea of how to solve this annoying problem will be much appreciated.  System 10.10.1 on a MacPro (Late 2013)

    The mouse is controlled by the OS so don't guess any app other than a mouse driver or OS X itself would be able to cause this sort of flicker issue.
    Have you seen the following and is it what you are seeing? Maybe you could make a movie (Quicktime is great for this this to make a screen recording) - but not sure how to attach a movie to these discussions as mine is grayed out and can't be selected (to the right of the insert image).

  • The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages:  "Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency conditio

    The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages:
    "Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency condition."
    OR
    Extension Status is not consistent with extension set configuration."
    The reason I opened the Extension Manager in the first place was to check to see if I had installed a third party extension.  And I was presented with these warning symbols.  I haven't added anything, I haven't done anything that would cause this.
    Does anyone know how to fix this???
    I am running OSX 10.9.5; Indesign CS6 version 8.0.2 And Adobe Extension Manager version  6.0.8.28.
    Thanks in advance!
    Nina

    Many InDesign pre-installed extensions (Those extensions you have immediately after InDesign installation) define dependency rules in their mxi files. Dependency means that one extension works well only if one or more other extensions are installed and enabled. If this condition is not met, the yellow triangle warning will be shown.
    You can select an extension with warning, click "Advanced" tag page in the lower right panel. You will see "This extension has dependency on: <extension name> ...". Check whether every extensions listed here are available and enabled. If not, enable them. Repeat these steps for all the extensions which have warning.

    Hi,
    A Code 10 error is generated in Device Manager in one of the following situations:
    Device Manager can't start the device.
    One of the drivers that the device needs does not start.
    Device Manager has insufficient information to recognize the error that is bubbled up by the device driver.
    Note In this situation, the Code 10 error can be a very generic message that indicates some kind of unspecified driver or device problem.

  • I can't delete movies from my netflix queue while using Firefox v9.0.1 but can with other browsers.

    Using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit; Firefox v9.0.1; website affected Netflix
    I can't effect complete deletion of movies from my netflix.com streaming queue while using Firefox (v9.0.1). I contacted Netflix by phone and we checked my browser settings, ensuring they were where they needed to be. They suggested trying to effect the same using other browsers and I had no problem with Chrome allowing me to make a complete and effective deletion. My plugins are all up-to-date and any incompatible ones have been disabled. My problem has been an ongoing thing for months and I wanted to let Mozilla know it exists. If anyone else has been having this problem, please notify Mozilla so they realize it's not just an isolated incident and (hopefully) will look into finding the problem and fixing it.

    Addendum: The .jpg file, below, shows the netflix popup I get when trying to delete a video.
