Why are my web pages scrolling half way down by themselves while I'm using my apple magic mouse. And no, it's not the mouse, apple replaced it

Only in Firefox when I'm at a site the page will scroll down about half way and stop at by itself which is annoying when I am filling out a form or looking for something. I use to have a problem when I was scrolling and the page would freeze and I would have to go to the scroll bar and manually move the page up and down to active the scroll on my mouse and yes this is a new mouse replaced by Apple.

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

Web pages load but way down the page is where the material starts. doesn't load and show from the top of the page why?

web pages are not loading right. loaded page material starts way down the page.

Try "Ctrl+0" (zero) to restore normal size, see if that does anything.
Please provide the url.
Please paste the following into the location bar and report the size of your current window. (will not work from location bar in Firefox 7.0.1 but your version is more practical)

Why are some web pages not loading fully or at all in chrome?

I just updated to 10.6.8 half an hour ago, and I tried watching videos on youtube, using google chrome. The first thing that I noticed is that the page turns completely transparent, invisible. I can see the toolbar, web adress bar and bookmarks bar, but everything else is invisible, with just a semi-transparent line marking the border of the would be. I then tried loading up a video in my history, to see if it was just the main page with this issue. When I loaded up a video, any video, the player itself would be transparent but the rest of the window and it's contents were visible, and I could still hear the audio stream from the video that should have been playing.
It happened again when I came here, some of the support links I opened would only be visible if I opened them within the same tab, if I tried to open them in a new tab they would also turn invisible. What's causing this and how do I fix this?

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Uninstall then reinstall the plugin.

Why are my web pages so small?

I've noticed when using my iPhone (3G) that some web pages, when double-clicked, briefly flicker, like they're trying to expand, but then they return quickly to their original mini size. Other web pages, when double-clicked expand to a larger more readable size. Why is this happening? Is this a web page design issue or is it inherent in the iPhone?

Not always. I've come across a few that don't resize. It's not common but it does happen.

Why are my web pages appearing in a list format instead of their usual appearance?

When I access my Yahoo home page as well as other pages, the site appears as a menu rather than in it's normal format, I cannot find any function that will allow me to change it back, Internet Explorer does not have this problem so I am fairly certain it is a problem with firefox. Can you help?

I can no longer see the web page address that I am on. This is vital as I am a student and often need to cite the web page I am visting.

when I search the web and am taking to my search destination, the search box does not show the http address that I am on. I need that information to cite the page that I am on. What must I do the fix this problem.

Some add-ons can cause this. Does the problem go away when you restart Firefox with add-ons disabled?

If yes, you can either troubleshoot further to find the problematic add-on, or you can reset Firefox to discard all add-ons and preferences while retaining essential data like bookmarks and passwords.

Why are images on page blinking after the OSX 10.9.3 update

Why are images on page blinking after OSX 10.9.3 update on 5/21/14?

I have finally been able to get the strobe effect stopped. I've restarted at least 7 times and each time I got the light grey screen with the darker grey apple and the spinning wheel, but not the log in box I used to get before the 5/21/14 update. But I called my son and he did some research and told me to hold down the Shift key and type in my password, even if it didn't appear in the log in box. It worked and the log in box appeared and I was able to type in my password. After doing this for each of the 7 times, on my last attempt it appears the strobe effect has been weeded out. Thank God - I thought I was going blind with it affecting every screen I was on.
I hope this will be of help to someone.

Safari web page scrolling

For some strange reason today my Safari browser keeps scrolling to the bottom of the web page by itself every once in a while. Im not sure whats causing this or how it can be fixed? Any solutions?

I may have possibly found the cause of the automatic web page scrolling, it could be due to having a Wacom tablet connected to the USB port on the right side of my laptop. When I disconnected the USB cable the auto scrolling stopped. Im wondering if having a USB mouse / tablet plugged in causes the problem and why would it? Note: Nothing is touching the tablet when the scrolling happens, my palms are on the keyboard palm area.

Print problem. trying to print a document in Preview, the start of the text prints half way down the page not at the top of the page?

Print problems. Printing out an email the text starts half way down the page. I tried taking a picture of the text I wanted to print, tried to print from Preview and have the same problem. If anyone has any ideas I would really apreciate it. Thanks Penny

One more thing to check: System Preferences/Print & Scan. Make sure your printer is set as Default.
I'm using OS X 10.8 and I don't see Page Setup anymore. If you have access to Page Setup, check to see if there are any adjustments to make there.

DIV not displaying properly, half way down page?!

Hey Guys
Really can't work this out. My code is below. I've also affixed a screenshot of what happens. The DIV no matter what you use, <p>, <h1> etc... It will display half way down the page! I've also affixed my CSS document for you to look at. I've tried deleting the slider JavaScript and CSS from the page with no results so I know it's not this. And yes, my code probably isn't the best way of doing things, tips appreciated as still learning!

MANY THANKS! I appreciate your time!

Height is not your friend. The page/container height is always determined by the content inside it. So adding explicit height values will often cause more pain than gain.   Suggest you start by removing all the height properties.
Also, I don't see where you have cleared any of your floats.   You need to learn to do that. Several methods available.
Option #1 Use a CSS clearing class:
               .clearing {clear:both; display:block; visibility:hidden}
Insert this HTML after your floated boxes:
               <hr class="clearing" />

Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

Why does my web page reduce so small I can't read it?

The type is small on the website but that's because of all the stuff that they are cramming onto the page. A couple of other users made this same comment about eBay a while ago, as I recall.
There is no setting in Safari in which you can enlarge the size of the text.

Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

Why do certain web pages become corrupted even after I re-install Firefox even when I don't save my bookmarks?

cor-el,
Yes, I will....the next time it happens. In the past it has happened to AOL a number of times (which is usually my home page), as well as some Yuku message boards I visit...The History Channel A&E, Spike TV, all at various times.
Unfortunately, this morning when it happened to one of the Yuku message board, I went directly to the tool bar, cleared my cache and cookies, without capturing a screenshot. Now , everything I've bookmarked is working properly but I will tell you it's a problem that I only experience on Firefox and not any other browsers, even when I've imported bookmarks from Firefox. It's been a fairly consistent problem for the past 6 months or so where I manually uninstalled, reinstalled Firefox (my preferred browser) and again, manually started bookmarking my sites all over again. It seems that when it happens most of the icons, graphics and photographs are missing, leaving me with only disorganized text.
The next time that it occurs, I will take a screen shot and forward it to you.
Thanks for you interest and help.

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

Why does my web page, created on iWeb, look correct on Safari but has thick black lines all over it in Firefox?

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? I assume those black lines are around photos or objects that have had a frame or drop shadow added to it, right? If so that's a known issue.
There's a workaround for that in this tutorial: #7 - Converting Photos w/Frames, Drop Shadows and/or Reflections into a Single Image File. That should get rid of those black lines/boxes.

HT1277 I can recieve emails but I can't send them out. The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up? What do I do?

I have my Yahoo Mail "poped" over to Apple Mail. I can recieve emails but I can't send them out. The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up? What do I do?

Your outgoing mail server is different than your incoming server. Usually the outgoing mail server will have smtp in it. I noticed yours said "cannot send message using the server mail.wavecable.com". That sounds like an incoming mail server. Try setting your outgoing mail server to smtp.wavecable.com
I hope that helps.

When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off. Is there any solution?

When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off.
I'm very sure my printer is set cirrectly.
Can't Firefox shrink to fit when I want to print a selected area of web pages?
This has never occurred in IE.

File >Page Setup -- check your margins, I have set size to 85% which is probably left over from some problem. Also check your printer that it is correctly set to the size of the paper.

Why are my web pages scrolling half way down by themselves while I'm using my apple magic mouse. And no, it's not the mouse, apple replaced it
