Why does my cursor not automatically select the entire word when I try to select text by starting/ending in the middle of a word?

In any other browser I've used (or word processor, for that matter) when I select text using my mouse cursor, if I start and/or end in the middle of a word, it automatically selects the whole word when I'm selecting more than one word. But for some reason this is not happening in Firefox. If I try to select say 3 words, and I start in the middle of the first word and end in the middle of the last word, it will only select those parts, not all 3 words entirely.

Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

    Where are the pictures coming from? I would more likely believe that your system has a virus than photoshop, but without more information, I could be misinterpreting your post.

    Hi,
    iChat uses several port as they are called over the internet to do different things
    Text Chats and Video Chats are on different Ports.
    You probably don't have the port open.
    Use UPnP in your router if it has it.

  • Why does my cellphone keep saying that estimating time remaining when I try to upgrade the system?

    Why does my cellphone keep saying that "estimating time remaining" when I try to upgrade the system?
    Is there anyway to fix this situation?

    Hi Eric_Sun,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may want to update your iPhone using iTunes on a computer if your device only shows "estimating time remaining" when you try to update wirelessly:
    If you can’t update wirelessly, or if you want to update with iTunes, follow these steps:
    If you use your device's Personal Hotspot for your computer's Internet connection, update your device wirelessly or connect your computer to another network.
    Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
    Plug in your device to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device.
    In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
    Click Download and Update.
    If you see an error message while updating your device, you can learn how to resolve iOS update errors in iTunes.
    You can find these steps here:
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • Why does Apogee Jam not work with the Ipod Touch 4G

    Hi,
    I have a Apogge Jam an it works fine with my Mac Book, but it does not seem to be compatible with my Ipod Touch 4g.
    Only the Gibbson L&M app recognize the Apogee Jam, but no other App (Ampkit, ....) :-((
    With the IPhone 4 it shall work, can tell me anybody why Apogee Jam is not compatible with the Ipod Touch 4g (
    although the Gibson-App works)?
    Is there perhaps still other Apps which work with the Ipod Touch and Apogge Jam?
    Thanks
    Michael

    I cannot answer the specifics, but I would guess it is a software issue because Griffin iTalk app will cooperate with the Apogee JAM on an iPod Touch 4g running iOS5.  If this app can do it, then one would presume the other apps could be updated to do it also.
    From last week up until yesterday, Apogee actually listed the 4G Touch as a compatible device with the JAM.
    Apparently there was some confusion about Garageband now supporting iPod Touch and its functionality with JAM.

  • Why does my Blog not publish with the rest of my new pages and photos????

    Much more work was done on my iWebsite today and I even made a rudimentary beginning of a blog.
    QUESTION:
    Why does my blog not publish?
    Lorna in Southern California

    James, the blog is on Safari now. I am embarrassed to say that I had already forgotten that I needed to make a link to the Site Menu. Since I had done all of that in a tear of activity previously, it's as though the process did not stick in my head. Sort of like forgetting to plug in the computer. 8-(
    I did not even realize what I had done wrong until I made a hyperlink from that site to my site menu and checked to see that the blog became visible. It's disconcerting to think that this kind of thing could happen to me again. 8-(
    I would be very interested in seeing people's blogs and how they use them. I've seen blogs used as news reports, blogs with music videos, blogs with photos. I earlier thought that a blog was like a diary: Words only.

  • Why does my Videocast not appear in the iTunes Store

    Hello,
    i recently started an videocast and puplished it to iTunes, but until now you can only access the videocast by searching for it.
    Why does not it appear in the Store while Browsing through the categories or in the "New" segment?
    Below the feed for the videocast.
    itpc://www.veoh.com/rss/collection/Wiideocast
    Thanks in advance for your help
    M4dC0w

    Don't worry, this is a problem that I have experienced in submitting all of my podcasts, and I believe it all boils down to this.
    The people behind the iTunes Music Store only select a few of the new podcasts that they personally like to appear in the "New and Notable" section. This is why in your podcast name and episode names, you should try to include key words that sum up your podcast/vodcast. For example, my podcast is one which supplies various DJ mixes - so I make sure to call my podcast "House Music - Dirty, Filthy & Electro House DJ Mixes" so it has a higher chance of coming up when people search "music", "DJ" or "electro".
    I know it's annoying because to have your podcast or vodcast appear there would be very helpful in spreading the word about your podcast, but Apple just won't do it. I might suggest sending them an email asking how you would go about approving it for the "New and Notable" section, but I have never tried this so there's no guarantee of an answer, or even a reply.
    Hope this all helps. Good luck with the vodcast.

  • Why does "enclosing folder" not work from the SEARCH window?

    I do a command+F search.
    Command+2 to view as list rather than groups
    and then sort by date modified.
    When I find the file/folder I want I'd really like to do a command+[up arrow] which in the GO menu is a valid command.
    Why does this work in finder windows but not in the search window?
    I'm not using spotlight, just the good old command+F
    This used to work in Sherlock 1 [using command+E] and when you opened the enclosing window, the file was already hi-lighted, faster to locate and saved mousing.

    You'll note that in the Go menu that command is grayed out meaning it's not active in the search results display.
    If you upgrad to Leopard then you can go to the Finder's View menu and select "Show Path Bar." The full path to any selected item in the Finder's window will be displayed in a path bar in the lower portion of the window. You can then double-click on any displayed folder to open a window on that folder.

  • Why does my border not continue to the bottom of the column

    On the right border of the right column at the bottom of my homepage, the border does not go all the way to the bottom of the column. I am not sure why. Do I have to do something in the CSS to identify that the columns need to be equal height? Or maybe it is something different.
    http://www.reginazona.com

    Because your padding bottom is not sufficient.  I suggest, try to change one of your styles to look like this:
    .frontColumn2 {
    float:left;
    width:50%;
    padding: 2% 2% 11% 2%; /* change this line */
    text-align:left;
    border-right: 1px solid #000;
    The item you need to change is bolded/commented in the above code.
    I have kept everything as 2% but the bottom is changed to 11%.
    Good luck.

  • Why does my cursor keep disappearing in the Google search bar?

    When using FF or Google Chrome, I've noticed that my cursor keeps disappearing when using the Google search bar. I've tried using all the about:config tips, I've downgraded to earlier versions, I've pressed F7, I've unchecked the "hide cursor while typing" option in my mouse properties, I've checked for driver updates, I've tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, and I've checked another computer in our home as well. Same thing there. This seems to have become a problem in the last few days. IE seems unaffected by it. Just FF and Chrome.

    No sir, there are no other tabs open, when it happens. For now, I've found a workaround, and I invite you to test it yourself.
    I've been working on this problem all day. I've noticed that the cursor blinks very slowly in the Google search bar. If you press a key while the cursor is blinking "off", it will stay off until you let go of what key you're pressing. Conversely, if you press a key while the cursor is blinking "on", the cursor will remain visible as you type.
    In IE, the cursor blinks much more rapidly, and blinks more "on" than "off." As a result the cursor remains on, no matter what you type or when, or what key you press, including the spacebar. This is not the case in FF or Chrome.
    It was suggested in the Google forums that disabling "autocomplete" has helped with this problem. I followed the instructions and successfully disabled the "auto-complete" feature on Google. When I did that, I immediately noticed that the cursor blink speed doubled, like what I'm used to seeing. Further, no matter what I did, the cursor did NOT disappear anymore.
    The link for google with autocomplete disabled is http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0
    Go there and see if you notice a difference in the blink speed of the cursor. On my computer, the difference is drastic. While I do enjoy "auto-complete" and will miss this feature, I generally don't rely on it, and much prefer a consistent cursor.
    I greatly look forward to your feedback on this. If you figure out a way to have Google work normally without this workaround, I will be forever in your debt.

  • Why does firefox sync not give me the firefox I had before i reloaded my operating system?

    I set up a firefox sync account and reloaded my operating system on my laptop. I reinstalled firefox and synced my laptop. I have all my bookmarks back. but none of my add-ons, plug-ins and shortcuts. I am left with a "virgin" firefox. Help. I want my old firefox back

    Firefox Sync doesn't sync add-ons or plugins. Mozilla does intend offering that feature in the future. What do you mean by "shortcuts'?
