Why does my keyboard lock up when I receive a new email (Firefox 8)?

With Firefox 8, if I'm typing and a new email arrives, my keyboard and everything else freeze. The only thing that stops this is refreshingi the page.
This is annoying to say the least, especially when a string of emails arrives and the problem repeats.
What can I do? Right now I'm sorry I switched to Firefox 8.

Have you tried doing a hard reset? That might fix the issue. You can do this by holding down the power button and the home button at the same time until the apple logo shows up and then let go and let it finish rebooting

  • IOS 4 - Why does my phone vibrate twice when I receive a new email?

    My email is set up as an exchange server for gmail. Whenever I receive a new email, it vibrates. I go to check the email, and it marks it as read. All is good, but then 15 minutes later, my phone vibrates again and makes the new email noise, even though there is no new email. Any ideas?
    I have an iPhone 4

    Settings > Sounds > Text Tone > Vibration > choose what you like.
    I see you're new here.  Here's a link to the iPhone User Guide.
    Good day.

  • Why does my keyboard stop working when I get a new Facebook message?

    Whenever I get a new message on Facebook chat, my keyboard stops working on all Firefox tabs. If I switch tabs or close and open the chat it starts working again. It's definitely not a problem with the keyboard, I've had no problems typing in Notepad while messages come in on the chat.

  • Why does the keyboard show up when i read a book in Kindle?

    why does the keyboard show up when i read a book in Kindle?
    it blocks about 1/4 of the page. but when i turn the ipad to horizontal it goes away.

    Try these basic things and see if the keyboard goes away for good.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit the Kindle App and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by e tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off.

  • How do I stop the sound (bong) when i receive a new email even though my settings are set to vibrate only?

    how do I stop the sound (bong) when i receive a new email even though my settings are set to vibrate only?

    Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.
    You can check the properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Command+B on Mac).
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.

  • I want a notification sound when I receive a new email

    I have the sound turned on Windows 7 Enterprise, and I have checked in my Outlook 2010 to make a notification sound when I receive a new email, but no sound is made when I receive an email.  Can anyone advise me how to get this to work?

    Hi,
    The sound option for new coming emails lies in: File tab -> Options -> Mail -> Message arrival -> Please confirm you have selected the checkbox
    Play a sound.
    If you only don’t get a sound when receiving emails from some specific senders, you may have set up some rules to manage incoming emails, please make sure you have selected the
    Play a sound checkbox in the rules.
    If there’s still no sound, please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it’s related to 3rd-party add-ins:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do i get audibles when i receive a new email on yahoo

    i would like to hear sounds when i get a new email on yahoo mail, can you help me

    Hi laurielw4,
    You would probably have better luck searching the Yahoo! help documentation. I know if you are running Yahoo! Messenger that you can have it alert you via audible sound that you have a new email.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Why does my whole design fade when I place a new image?

    This drives me crazy! Sometimes when I place a new image, my whole design fades. Maybe it's because the new image has a transparent layer? How do I deal with this? I'm using CS6.
    BEFORE:
    AFTER:

    Dealing with images is indeed more complex, but 'simple' transparency won't benefit in my opminion in setting blendspace to RGB.  Or am I missing your point maybe...?
    There are potential production problems with either blend space. With an RGB blend space black and gray objects will convert to 4-color mixes which can be a problem on press.
    With CMYK you can get into total ink problems. So an  example would be a page headed for newprint where the total ink allowed might be as low as 220%, but if I were to multiply 0|100|100|30 red over 100|100|0|0 blue the total ink of the blended color is 330%—110% over the limit.
    With an RGB blend space the transparent page honors the CMYK destination's ink limit and I get 217% for the blend:

  • How do I stop receiving Mail alerts on the iPad? E.g when browsing Safari a Mail alert box will pop up when I receive a new email. I don't want this alert. Thanks.

    How do I stop receiving Mail alerts on the iPad?
    e.g. When browsing in Safari I will be interrupted by a 'ping' sound and a Mail alert box every time a new email comes in to my Inbox. This is irritating. How do I stop this? To see if I have new Mail I just prefer to go to Mail and my Inbox at convenient intervals.
    Thank you.

    The same way you'd change any notifications: Settings>Notifications>Mail. Change it to "Banner" or "None".

  • Why does my computer lock up when some videos start to run?

    When I load some videos the video will start for a few seconds then stop. At this point my whole computer locks up and I have to do a restart to get my mail or on the internet.
    I have right clicked on the video and disabled the acceleration function. That worked for a while but the problem has started again. When I right click the video it shows that the accelerator is NOT enabled but my computer locks up. Thanks for any help, Hosteen - Nez

  • Why does my computer lock up when I try to delete bookmarks?

    I'm trying to delete unused bookmarks on the bookmarks bar by highlighting and using the delete key, have also tried dragging to trash bin...each time I get the spinning wheel and Safari stops responding.  Any suggestions?  Running the latest software.

    OK yes I am using the Share to Facebook option and it's still not working.  I even called Apple and they helped me export from iPhoto to iMovie and it's still not working.  My camera ia a Canon and I used their upload to Facebook option and it's still not working.  I get this error message Apple-scc a report that goes to Apple when the computer hangs up.
    All I know is I've had this iMac for about 3 years and have never had a problem with it.  It is a 21-inch 3.2 Ghz, Mac OSX and I don't know where you look and see how much memory is available. 

  • Why does avg search come up when I enter anything on my firefox home page it's driving me nuts

    I removed avg free from my computer because avg was "taking over" my searches - but it is still doing it. I can't seem to get rid of it even though I have tried to follow all the suggestions on mozilla support pages - I don't want to change search engines, as I really like Firefox. Please tell me how to get rid of avg in a SIMPLE to understand way. Many thanks.

    '''''AVG's toolbar is still an opt-out feature. It also will commandeer your default search engine for Yahoo, so if you don't want it to do that, you'll want to uncheck the box that changes your search engine, too.''''' Source: CNet Editor's review
    If the search when using the Location/URL bar has been taken over by Yahoo (AVG's default search -- see above), you may need to reset a preference:
    #Enter '''about:config''' in the address/URL bar and press the Enter key
    #f you see a warning, accept it (Promise that you will be careful)
    #Filter = keyword.url
    #Below the Filter, right-click on keyword.URL and choose "Reset"
    #Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)
