Why does the screen "wash out" with the statement "Firefox is not responding" This happens at least once in each session.

I am not sure what more details I can provide. Suddenly, the cursor for the mouse will freeze, the screen washes out. You can still see the underlying webpage faintly. After a few seconds, the problem corrects itself and Firefox resumes normal operation. This happens with the new Firefox 4 as well as the previous version.
It is major annoyance.

My situation got worse. FF 3.6.12 started doing that; then it just stopped loading. Since then, I have uninstalled & reinstalled, moved my profile to force it to make new one, set it so that it is not the default browser, installed in different drive on computer, cleaned out regedit, ran a spyware program, & nothing. It starts to load then hangs up almost immediately. This has been going on for about 3 days & I'm about ready to chunk it. Any ideas?

  • Why does the new firefox sync not sync my bookmarks on my Iphone? The history and tabs show up, but bookmarks do not.

    Ever since I updated to the new Firefox sync my bookmarks have stopped showing up on my iphone Sync for Firefox. I even downloaded the Apollo browser, but bookmarks still are not showing. Can someone help?

    Firefox 29 has a new version of Sync, so whatever you're using on the iPhone for Sync will need to be updated to be compatible with the new Sync.

  • Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

    Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

    You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
    If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
    If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

  • HT1476 why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???

    why does the battery usage percentage not available in ios5.1.1???
    and why is clock not available on ipad????

    Because that is a decision the Apple made.  You can get the battery percentage (within 5%)  by using a free app such as BatteryLife Lite, but it will not show the percentage on the top of your screen.

  • Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?

    Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?
    When going to firefox.com and clicking the download button, immediately I get directed to the dutch / Nederlands version of the site and I only get the choice to download Firefox Dutch/Nederlands.
    I want the English version. Wouldn't it be better to ALSO have an option to select the language, wherever the software detects you're getting your internet connexion from?

    As people posted, You can select whatever language you want instead at the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Systems & Languages] link below the download button.

  • Why does the highlight feature seem not to work about 1/2 the time in various ibooks.  I'm trying to take notes and about 50 pages into a book the highlight feature stopped working.

    I've long noted that the highlight feature in ibooks is clunky and fairly limited in it's note-taking features, but the last two books I've read I've had trouble getting the highlight feature to work at all.  I click and drag over text and nothing happens.  I try with command depressed and nothing happens.  If I double click a bunch it will eventually highlight one word, but nothing more.  What gives?
    Also, not to be snarky, but why can't I seem to find a button that would read text to speach for me?  How do blind people use this service, or illiterate, or dyslexic, or people like myself who can learn far more from hearing then from reading. 
    And why does the text of a book often render so that it's haf cut off of the page?

    There is a button for speech within the iBooks menu. Edit > Speech. You might be better off buying Audiobooks. You can get them from the iTunes Store or Audible.com

  • Every time I try to print a file to Adobe PDF, I get the message "Firefox is not responding". When I try to cancel the print job, all of my Firefox tabs shut down. This just started today. Up until today, I could print a page to Adobe PDF with no problem.

    The print dialouge box comes up. I select print to PDF. Another box comes up and says it is preparing the document (This is the way it has always been). Then, nothing. It says Firefox is not responding. If I try to close out the print box, it not only closes the page I was on, but any other open tabs in Firefox. How can I fix this?

    I didn't see that I could edit the question before "I answered myself." I updated the question.

  • Why does the new CVI adapter not put the contextCVI parameter?

    Hi,
    With good old 2.0 prototype you could not specify arguments and you always used the parameters tTestData and tTestError. Now, with the TS3.x the recommended prototype is the new one.
    If I specify the standard prototype it puts some arguments which the sequence context is not one of them.
    The question is why?
    1) Don't you always need it? Is there a way to get the context from within the CVI code? Isn't the idea of the context argument is to be able to get/set information from the TS variables?
    2) I read the manuals but didn't see exact instructions how to specify the context as an argument. Can anybody show me how to do it? Do I need to specify it by value or by reference?
    3) Isn't there a check box to include the context in the same fashion as it was in TS2.x?
    4) I specify the context parameter with every TS step. Is that the proper way? Can I modify the standard prototype so it will automatically be inserted along with the other argument?
    Thanks
    Rafi

    Hello Rafi -
    I think the Action steptype will always give you a seqContextCVI pointer, but I agree that the default templates for the other steps don't. Certainly you don't 'always' need it. Especially if all you're doing is talking to hardware, doing some calculation and returning a measurement value, but it's very nice to have for various chores in TestStand.
    I think in TS 3.0 rather expect you to specify it manually.It's not too hard to do once you see the trick. I looked at the Action step's default arguements before I saw how it was done, but here's the simple breakdown.
    (1) create new arguement, on the right-hand side of the screen name it whatever you like.
    (2) The category is 'Object, the Type is 'CVI ActiveX Automation Handle' and the Pass is 'By Value'.
    (3) on the left-hand side of the screen, assign it the value 'ThisContext' as usual, and you're all set.
    If you build your functions manually in CVI you'll just include the parameter "CAObjHandle seqContextCVI" and use it just like you used to.
    Other options might be... I know there's still a button on the Module tab of CVI steps to allow you to create a TS 2.0 style prototype with TestData and TestError...
    Or, Yes, you can also modify the default template that comes with TestStand, but the software will likely complain at you for changing the settings on a NI steptype. If you want to explore this route, you need to add your seqContextCVI parameter in two places. Once to the actual template file at (TestStand Root dir)\CodeTemplates\User\NumericLimitCVI, and once to the type definition of the step you want to change. For example, use the Type Palette to find the Numeric Limit type and right click on it to alter it's properties. The tab you'll want to investigate is 'Code Templates'and then the template for CVI.
    I hope this helps!

  • Why does the address/status bar not work?

    After updating to 9.0.1, my status bar will not work, or my address bar. If I try to type in anything and press enter into the address bar, nothing happens. Also, I cannot press forward or back as they always remain grayed out. The only way I can get to a website is by pressing home, which is thankfully google. I have to google the url to go to it.
    Remembering now actually, I copied all the folders from the main firefox folder and pasted them into a new install of firefox (I had this problem actually before firefox updated). I was hoping that copying these folders would save my addons and etc. after I downloaded a new firefox and re-installed it. I put the folders back and firefox is still messed up :/
    I just want it to work more Q_Q

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

  • Why does the black iPhone 5 not have a front mic?

    I noticed that the white iPhone 5 has a front mic while the black does not. How come?

    What you're NOT seeing on the black model is the proximity sensor which is to the left of the earpiece/speaker if the phone is viewed from the front. This is visible on the white model but not the black model.
    The mic is apparently contained within the earpiece/speaker hole. See the following .pdf file (you need Acrobat Reader installed to view) and zoom in to the front view.

  • Why does the first Firefox browser takes more than ten seconds to open?

    Once my laptop is logged into, Firefox's initial browser takes more than 10 seconds to open. The subsequent windows take less than two seconds. Much more complex programmes like photoshop open in next to no time. Is Firefox a 'heavy' programme to start?

    Every time Firefox opened

  • Why does the song currently playing not correspond with the title

    Since the latest update of iTunes when I play a CD or import it into iTunes, the song currently playing and the title shown for that song are not correct. All the songs and titles are there but they are jumbled. Any ideas? Thanks, i need all the help i can get.

    There is dirt our moisture in the dock connector on the phone or the end of the cable. Or possibly a bad cable.
    You can clean the connector with a dry toothbrush or wooden toothpick; inspect it with a magnifying glass to make sure it is clean.

  • Why does the Adobe Help Manager not close?

    I'm not sure what the "Adobe Help Manager" (silly name) is. I notice it as an open application in my toolbar (Windows 7) but you cannot close it. It just stays there. Only goes away when I've restarted my system. Any ideas or comments?
    Generally speaking, I'd like to comment that many of the current Adobe programs (including CC) are not nearly as intuitive as they should be. One wastes quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to accomplish rather obvious functions. Usually will have to go online to find an answer. Should be more obvious and clear. The interface of CC (for uploading work files) seems a "clean" design. Yes, clean... and unintuitive.

    It's been weeks since I've used the file upload 'cloud' function of Creative Cloud, but I do recall I had to seek out numerous youtube videos, as well as some from Adobe's site, to try and figure out how it worked. Dragging and dropping seemed like a very obvious function, but you have to select: Actions: Download, etc. etc. It's a clunky, dispiriting interface.
    So... I just started using google drive instead. I can quickly drag and drop. I work on a PC and a Mac and don't have a shared drive between them (due the usual platform issues) so I like uploading to a cloud server and transferring between the two machines that way. Very nice to compare how the two different systems are displaying an html doc or a photoshop file.
    While the wind is at my back, I really like CC as to the software options, but it is a very daunting experience to consider learning new programs. It's taken me fifteen years of work to be  as proficient as I am with PS (as a photographer and designer). I still find Dreamweaver very difficult and obscure in so many ways. I'm sure that's why you created Muse... but I will not take the time required to learn and new program. It's just a face. Remember in the Matrix when you would learn a huge amount of technical knowledge just by plugging into something? That's what we need (ha ha).
    Now that Adobe is doing away with the distributive disc system for software programs, perhaps the next great leap is the discontinuation entirely of massive software progams themselves. Have no idea how this would happen, but I think patience is coming to an end for learning huge new software programs. Seems like such a relic of the past now.
    Wish Adobe would bring designers more into how their programs work. They all seem to be designed by software engineers, and thus the truly disheartening style of the menues, opening into dozens of submenues, basements, dark vaults, etc. etc. The Adobe interfaces are all uniform now, but it's an old look that goes back almost ten years. Hope the creatives can soon lead to a new approach.
