Window doesn't refresh unless you click to another app (on Mac)

When I scroll, click on a link, or click on another tab to switch to it, FF appears to be frozen and nothing moves/changes/happens on screen. If I then click to another app (e.g. Outlook) and then back on FF, the new content appears instantly. It appears as though the browser is loading the requested information, but does not actually ''draw'' it until I click away and click back.
I already tried deleting and reinstalling.
ETA: This happens every time I use FF, not immediately upon opening. It crops up when I've been using it for a little while (say, a half-hour). It may have to do with having multiple tabs open, but I don't see an exact correspondence between the problem and visiting specific sites or having a certain number of tabs open.

I am unable to click to select with my track pad so I enabled my magic mouse in order to even get into System Preferences to check settings. I understand that they are set up separately. Unfortunately, that didn't help

  • Homepage doesn't show unless you click page. . . ?

    Has anyone experienced this? My site won't show up in Safari, it loads but the page is white unless you click the page.
    It's fine in other browsers, and it always worked in Safari until this last update.
    thanks

    Enzo,
    I had the exact same problem a while back with GoDaddy. (along with everyone else forwarding to .mac) If I remember correctly ( I could be wrong) it only affected iWeb viewed with Safari. But it did turn out to be a code change on Godaddy's side.
    It took a few weeks to resolve. GoDaddy customers were in contact with tech support. GoDaddy began monitoring this forum and eventually figured out and corrected the problem.
    It certainly could be something else causing your problem but it does sound very similar to my experience with GoDaddy.

  • Hyper draw doesn't appear unless you set Hyperdraw/Articulation ID

    From the last 2 or 3 version Logic has an annoying behaviour on score window: Hyper draw doesn't appear unless you set Hyperdraw/Articulation ID/Any or None...
    This procedure has 3 minus points:
    1. The editing is slowed down
    2. Every time you close and reopen the score window YOU HAVE TO REDO IT!!!!
    3. What is it for?.....
    It was better before...

    For Radeon 7000, you need to:
    pacman -S xf86-video-ati
    You need to load those modules in /etc/rc.conf:
    MODULES=(agpgart via-agp)
    And in xorg.conf:

  • Can't see typed text in fillable forms in Adobe Reader x unless you click back in the field?

    We have fillable forms and when employees open them they can type in but as soon as they tab to the next field you can't see text in previous field unless you click back into that field with your mouse.  Then when you click on print it prints the form out with no text in the field.  This form can be opened and filled in if the staff member has adobe pro of nuance but not in the new reader.

    I just ran into the problem as well. To resolve it, I had to open the form in Acrobat  then delete and recreate the fields what are not showing text. I know this is a pain but it seems to be the only way to fix the problem. Going forward, I'm either going to have to upgrade the acrobat program to version X or stop using the form wizzard. It seems that fields created with the wizzard act weird in reader x. Either that or wait for what ever the bug is in reader x to be fixed.
    This fix works for all fields except digital signature which in reader X does not do anything when clicked.

  • Clicking on another app I get the video automatically returning to normal screen view

    I wonder why, if I put a youtube video in full screen and I click on another app WHILE THE VIDEO IS PLAYING all remain this way. On the contrary, if I first stop the video, clicking on another app I get the video automatically returning to normal screen view... This is very annoying. Is it possible to avoid this?
    Thanks

    Sorry, Mozilla doesn't support the patent-encumbered and royalty-encumbered H.264 standard, they support the OGG/Theodora and WebM free open source standards.
    Microsoft has a H.264 plugin for Firefox, but it is for Windows7 not WinXP or Win Vista. <br />
    http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin
    There may be other H.264 Firefox plugins out there for WinXP, so do a Google search. Or maybe contact support for that DVR security system and see if they know of or have a Firefox plugin.

    PS : My app work properly and it has a Windows store page
    Do i just need to wait?
    Thank You

    When did you publish to store? It might just be a matter of waiting for it to show up:

  • Why the Safari download icon doesn't refresh until you single click on it

    After Leopard I found that when I download files in the stack, the icon doesn't reflect the downloading status like it used to in leopard. I mean the progress bar on the icon doesn't move until it finishes download or when you click on it. I tried to download on the desktop, the same thing happens
    Another problem is I can not eject disk image nor computer on the network. Though external HD and optical disk eject w/ no problem.

    And this problem seems to be systemwide. Since I created a new user and under which problem still exists.
    Hope apple will look into it

  • Auto shape properties window doesn´t refresh values

    hi,
    after installing creative suite 4 on my new pc i have a big problem. the auto shape properties window in fireworks doesn´t refresh the values of my shape. if i select the shape i have to close the panel and open it again to get the right values. if i select on shape and then another one, i have to do the same. this is really annoying.
    here a little demonstration: http://gate8.de/jeeeee/2013-03-13_1810.swf
    i uninstalled fireworks, deleted preferences folder, updated graphic driver and finally called the support but they "coundn´t" help because the product is too old
    i hope you can help.
    thx a lot!
    Jens

    Hopefully, you realize you can edit the Auto Shapes directly on the canvas. Hovering over a "yellow diamond" will reveal a tooltip telling what property it adjusts.
    It sounds like there's a communication problem between the panel and the canvas/application. The Auto Shape Properties panel is a SWF panel that resides in the application's Configuration/Command Panels folder. Other SWF panels include Align, Path, Symbol Properties, Image Editing, Special Characters, and Color Palette. I wonder if any of these other panels are affected?
    It seems like there's been a lot of problems with Flash-based panels conflicting with other apps or plug-ins. Try quitting and restarting the application with no other applications running in the background. Also check out something like this: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3931126

  • Finder window doesn't refresh

    Dear all,
    When I login into a Windows Server 2003, Mac OS X (and for that matter Mac OS 9) Finder windows do not refresh as fast as we would like them to. It takes me about 10 minutes or more. I have to close out of, or collapse if in List view, the window, and reopen it to force a redraw.
    Please help.

  • PDF links in Windows 8 Give Message "do you mean to switch apps"

    When viewing a pdf in Windows 8 that has links, a click on the links pops up a message "do you mean to switch apps?" which you have to address before you can goto the URL.
    Is there any way to prevent this message from coming up?

    Pat
    Thank you for responding.  I have recreated the error, but cannot figure out how to use Snipping Tool to get screenshot of a Windows 8 panel.  Have the tool placed in the tool bar, but tool bar not accessible on the PDF display.  Any suggestions?

  • When opening a new window, I sometimes get a black and white streaks in them. If you click on another window or try to scroll through the black window, it sometimes refreshes and looks normal.

    It only happen on one of my computers. This computer actually has a faster processor, more RAM, and a better video card than my laptop which has no problems.

    I solved my own problem. :-) I simply needed to change the "size" setting in my add-on "Theme Font & Size Changer" to a smaller number. Now the new windows don't require scrolling to see the entire content. But, I suppose for someone with serious vision problems, they might need to do the same thing, but then break out a magnifying glass to read everything in the window.....
