Why do I have to click the green arrow on the location bar instead of pressing ENTER to prompt the new webpage to load?

When entering a web page (e.g., www.aol.com) I would normally hit the ENTER key on my keyboard and the aol webpage would open. However, using Firefox 4.0.1 on my desktop, I have to enter the webpage (e.g., www.aol.com) and then use the mouse to right-click on the green arrow tab located to the right of the location bar. This is not the case on my wife's laptop, however. And she is using the same version of Firefox.

This was very very helpful and I resolved the issue. The problem ended up being an extension from my AVG firewall that I had to disabled, once I disabled the ext Firefox worked properly again.

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 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

Why do I have to click the go button after typing a URL? Before FF6 I could just hit enter.

I just recently updated to Firefox 6. Before the update, I was able to type a address into the URL bar and hit return. Nice and easy. Now if I do this I get no response. To direct to a web page I have to move my cursor to click the go button. It's annoying and a waste of time. What happened here? Any way I can change things so I can just hit enter again?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Is it possible in Firefox to have a new tab open to my home page? Currently, it is just blank. I have to click the 'Home' icon to load my home page. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

I am running Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7.

A blank page is the default for a new tab. You can middle-click the Home button to open a new tab with your homepage, or you can install this extension and set it for your homepage.

Why do I have to click the cloud to download podcasts?

While my podcasts are updating, they appear to automatically download only to icloud. Now, I am forced to click on the cloud icon to the right of each episode of every podcasts in order to download the podcasts into itunes before they will sync to my ipod. What is up with that?

I think this is the same issue as I had - I had almost 1000 episodes to download and they all only had the cloud symbol next to them.
If you go to the 'My Podcast' tab, and then right click on the podcast name in the left hand pane, a 'download all' option shows up. Click that and it will start downloading all those episodes that have a cloud icon next to them.

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 not, try

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 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.

Certain sites do not load properly. I have to click the Stop loading page button, the click reload page to fully load the site.

Using Firefox 6.0.1 on Windows XP SP3. When I navigate to certain sites (nytimes.com for example), Firefox loads most of the page, but some graphics are missing and the green circle in the tab keeps spinning. Typically I have to click the Stop Loading Page button, then click the Reload Page button to get Firefox to load the remaining items in the website. Seems to get stuck with images.

Since downloading Firefox 4, I am having problems archiving gmail conversations from my inbox view. Also, when I go to enter a new event in google calendar, I now have to click the cursor in the box to type the event (it used to let me just start typing).

Since downloading Firefox 4, I am having problems archiving gmail conversations from my inbox view (either one or several conversations) as it says "No Conversations Selected" when I have selected one or several. Also, when I go to enter a new event in google calendar, I have to click the cursor in the box to type the event (it used to let me just start typing) or else it flips out and starts jumping to day view or another month. Does anyone know how to fix either of these?

I have had this problem; but while trying to fix another problem, I reset my preferences for Firefox and it fixed this problem as well. To reset preferences, follow this link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Resetting%20preferences

Whenever I click on iTunes store, it just takes me to this huge add to download the new version of iTunes. I have tried clicking the download box and downloading it, but it still will not let me past the add so I can buy music. What gives

Whenever I click on iTunes store, it just takes me to this huge add to download the new version of iTunes. I have tried clicking the download box and downloading it, but it still will not let me past the add so I can buy music. What gives

this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...
