Why do I have to click everything twice ?

When is Firefox going to fix this?
In every version after 3.6, I have had to click twice or "reload" the page. If I close the page and click again or reload the page, it immediately comes up.
It is not because of problems in my computer. I went into safe mode and disabled all add-ons and got the same result. It happens on 80-90% of the websites. There are a few sites that consistently load immediately but most I have to reload the page or wait for the page to load which can easily take 30 seconds to a minute.
I have a fast download of 28 and upload of 6. I have a clean computer, plenty of ram memory and have limited programs allowed to activate on start up. I usually have very few tabs open at a time. I've cleared cache and done all the usual things always recommended to do.
This is very frustrating and it has to have something to do with bugs in changes of versions since 3.6. That version worked perfectly. These latest versions up to the most recent update have been consistently more and more problems.

I'm with you RJ343, as an ex-software developer from the late 90's, I am appalled at the way Firefox has gone.... i recently upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 17 and it is disgusting the number of things that do not work,... and I have to LAUGH MY F**KING HEAD off when I hear geeks and nerds who are barely out of their cyber-nappies moan at me because I prefer 3.6 and they can't understand why i don't love the latest version... SIMPLES > because they are so full of bugs and workarounds and stupid add-ons I have to install just to go "back" to 3.6 and its glorious feature set that has since been ripped apart and hacked to smithereens and replaced with dodgy , sh*te alternatives that I'm supposed to adore ? Same with XP, I am still using it and will continue to use it until MS deliver something of quality that the users want, not what they want to force on me....
SO back to the topic -- I landed on this page because I have noticed that in FF17 I have to keep clicking everything TWICE, to get the page to load. It happens everywhere, it's as though the focus is not set properly, and the 1st click sets that, and then I have to click again to execute. Certainly I have just registered in order to write this post, I deem it that important, and now that I am , I will have to start replying and posting the myriad of other failures by FF development team in their latest versions,.... what I find the most insulting as I mentioned, is this indoctrination that I HAVE to use the latest versions over the old, tried & tested products like 3.6, because FF will withdraw support or add-ons stop working for the old versions. I wouldn't mind, if the new versions weren't such a croc of shoite and actually worked.
THIS BUG must be one of the most basic and incompetent of them all. Why do I have to bloody Double-click everything ??? !
''"3.6 was almost universally liked by everybody"'' - yes, because it was tried & tested.... obviously the latest generation of developers never heard of the old adage, "If its not broken, don't fix it"... and don't gimme all that crap about security vulnerability,.... that's just an extension of the War on Terror..... Fear is too widely traded for Functionality, and good solid TESTING , which seems to be a thing of the past. The software industry is in a crisis and soon there will be nothing that works and we will all hark back to XP and FF 3.6 as the golden age when software actually worked.

  • Why do I have to click delete twice to send emails to trash

    When I try deleting my emails, if it sends it to trash I have to select all and delete TWICE. Sometimes I doesn't even go to trash and it sends all I've selected to delete back as incoming email! Very frustrating. I've checked my settings already under the advanced tab. It's taken me 2 days to delete email, section by section. Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    Is this a POP or IMAP account?
    If you highlight one & use CMD+Delete, does that delete it?

  • Why do I have to click the mouse so hard?

    Why do I have to click the mouse so hard? Whether I'm using a Bluetooth or a wired mouse, I find I have to click really hard to make it work when selecting text (in any application). This is not good for my wrist. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    two types: an old and excellent Apple wired mouse (not mighty) and a Bluetooth mouse (not mighty).

  • Why do i have to click emails in, all mail, important, inbox, folders?

    In my thunderbird account I have inbox, important, all mail, and several folders I have created. Why do I have to click on the same email in all folders? If I look at it in my inbox it should clear as read in all categories, but thunderbird makes me click on each folder and then find each email to stop it from showing as un-read.

    I had looked at and thought to do that in the past, but the gmail tab is grey'ed and as such I didn't think I could do that. Your comments made me think it was possible and I needed to find the way and clicked on it. Then out pops the folders under gmail and click, click, click... and no more folders.
    Thanks.

  • HT6162 Why do I have to delete everything to make 3.8GB for this update?

    Why do I have to delete everything to make 3.8GB for this update?

    It downloads the compressed image, then it needs to uncompress it. The compressed image is large uncompressed it is even larger.
    You need much less space if you use iTunes on your personal computer to do the install.

  • Why must I click everything twice where a single click should have worked?

    My Ipod just got a malfunction that makes me have to click ANY app I want to open twice to be able to open it. That's not too bad. The hard and annoying part is when I want to scroll down anywhere...I have to keep double tapping and hope that it registers and allows me to scroll down. Even the "Slide to Unlock" bar needs to be clicked twice to allow me to slide it across and unlock my itouch. This problem started immediately after a pop-up notification came up and I believe I clicked the home button at the exact time it popped up. Maybe it's purely coincidental, but the problem came right after that incident. Another thing to note is that a black rectangular box surrounds (and moves) to whatever place I click, be it an app, part of a sentence, or even a picture. I don't know any way to fix this problem and need help! Thanks.

    Head to Settings -> General -> Accessibility and make sure all of its settings are turned off.

  • Why do some have to click twice on floating audio control to start sound?

    We are finding that for some users, a floating audio control within acrobat reader has to be clicked twice to start the audio.  When the audio button "Play Audio" is clicked, the floating audio control is opened and the play button is activated but the sound does not start on some machines.  The pause button is available to click, indicating the play button has been activated.  No sound occurs, and the progress indicator does not move.  However, if I click the pause button and THEN click the play button, the sound starts and the progress indicator begins to move.  So far Adobe support has not been able to answer this issue.  Has anyone else seen this happen?  Problem seems to happen on about half the computers we have tried it on.  Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or solutions.

    Same thing - have to click twice even though default settings.

  • Why do I have to click on all of my flash components before I can navigate?

    Without modification to the code...the component is there but
    it needs to be clicked on before I can navigate the site. Should
    Dreaweaver not know how to properly insert the code necessary allow
    the flash component to view properly? What am I missing? I know
    this is a Deramweaver forum....but the problem does not not seem to
    be with Flash, it seems to be in the code that Dreamweaver creates
    when the Flash component is inserted.
    I have been able to find a work around to my problem but
    surely it is not what everyone out there is doing. If
    so...Dreamweaver or Flash has a serious bug!
    I created a site a while back and everthing worked fine. So I
    copied some code from that site to fix the new one. However even
    after copying the code I still have to modify it to make it
    work..(the modifcations are obvious.) This is suely not the way it
    is done all the time.
    I have three questions:
    1. Why did everything work fine with the first site with no
    modifications?
    2. Why do I have to copy the code to the other site after
    inserting the Flash component?
    3. Why does dreamweaver not do it for me? (it did everything
    right the other time, but now it doen't even work in the previous
    site)
    I feel like I must have changed a setting somewwhere that I
    did not realize would effect this...Perhaps it is a Dreamwweaver
    thing.
    PLEASE HELP!

    It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
    several
    years ago to their browser, regarding how Active Content
    (Flash, Quicktime
    etc)
    is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

    If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2/CS3, the fix is already
    built into DW's
    interface.

    If you want to use Flash for navigation, consider this -
    1. Some people don't have Flash installed - what do they do?
    2. Search engines don't parse Flash links - your site will
    not be spidered
    3. Screen assistive devices don't parse Flash links - what
    will those users
    do?
    4. DW cannot maintain links within a Flash movie, so if you
    move or rename
    a linked file, your navigation will break - what will you do?
    It's usually a very bad idea for these reasons...

  • Why do I have to click connect next to 802.1X every time?

    My certificates are trusted. My WPA Enterprise profile has the proper credentials. Ask to join new networks is checked. When I unplug my ethernet cable and use the wireless networking environment at my workplace, I'm always prompted to choose the network from a dialog that pops up. Whether I choose the network I always use or whether I cancel, my IP address gets self-assigned until I go into the Network prefpane and click "connect" next to 802.1X. Why do I have to do that every time?

    Open iTunes preferences and go to the Store pane, then uncheck everything, esp. the Always check for available downloads.
    oh yeah, VERY IMPORTANT... forgot to tell you that you have to be signed in to your itunes store account to make these changes, or to even see what the current settings are. If you are not signed in to your itunes account the whole pane will be dimmed and will show all boxes unchecked... HOWEVER, once you sign in to your account and open the store pane, you will be able to see the current settings AND the "Always check for available downloads box is checked by default.

  • Have to click button twice

    hello..
    i have a jspx with three text fields and a command button.
    when the command button is clicked a popup will come up and i have implemented a search page in the popup.
    the user can enter the search criteria so that the results are shown in a table.
    the user can select one record and if he cliks on ok button in the popup the selected record values should get displayed in the main page.
    how ever iam getting the whole functinality done.
    but the problem is i have to click the ok button in the popup twice.
    why is that happening

    Hi,
    Did you fix this problem? Because I have the same problem.
    I also have to click the button twice if select a row from the table, and that row is not on the first 10 rows. (I have to click next to show next 10 rows)
    The button has a af:setActionListener.
    On the mainpage the af:selectInputText has autosubmit=false.
    What causes this problem?

  • Have to click links TWICE to go to the link...

    Anyone else experiencing this? iMac G3, OS 10.4.11, Safari 3.2.1.... I'll be looking at a web page, and when I click on a link, the blue progress bar advances past "http://" then stops. I have to click on the link again to get the link to load. I've gone to "Reset Safari" and reset everything but cookies, autofill, icons, and saved names and passwords. Frustrating to say the least. I've been using Safari 3.2.1 for a while, but don't remember this happening until recently. Any cures?

    Hi,
    It sounds like it might be DNS related. You can test this by trying out the DNS settings provided by OpenDNS:

  • Why do we have to type everything?

    1119: Access of possibly undefined property ***** through a
    reference with static type *****.
    This is a very annoying error. What I want to know is why do
    we have to re-type pretty much all our variables?
    I add an object with a variable towers (array containing
    1,2,3) to the main stage. So I tried this (where stage is a
    variable of type Stage passed down from the main stage and Me is
    the object I am trying to access):
    stage.getChildAt(0).getChildAt(0).towers[2]
    Which to me made a lot of sense. And it came up with the 1116
    error.
    According to AS3, to reach that variable from within another
    object you have to use this line of code (where stage is a variable
    of type Stage passed down from the main stage and Me is the object
    I am trying to access):
    Me(DisplayObjectContainer(stage.getChildAt(0)).getChildAt(0)).towers[2]
    What an absolute mess (and yes I've tried getChildByName, but
    it just returns a null value). Why can't it be something like
    (where towerList is the name of the Me object that was added to the
    stage):
    stage.towerList.towers[2]
    Does anyone know a way of getting round having to re-type
    these variables? Cause I'm going to be referencing objects which
    might have many generations of children.

    zone12webmaster,
    > What I want to know is why do we have to re-type
    > pretty much all our variables?
    As a rule, you don't have to, although it is occasionally
    necessary.
    > I add an object with a variable towers (array
    > containing 1,2,3) to the main stage.
    How did you add this object? It sounds like this is a custom
    class
    named Me, so how are you instantiating this object? Are you
    adding it to
    the stage's display list? (Does it need to be in a display
    list?)

  • Why do I have to click the arrow in the location (awsome) bar to load a page off a link?

    Before the tab loads and takes you to the website, I now have to click a small arrow at the far right of the location bar for it to load the page. What setting changed in Firefox 4?

    This type of problem is normally caused by using an incompatible add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
