blurs when I highlight text and start typing

When I highlight a text I tried to tell the google search bar and proceed to start typing first letter e, the I type ends appear after all the other letters. For example I'm going to highlight a Word and try to type the word "concrete". But it will come back as "oncretec" then the 'c' will keep coming the words that I type after all. I need help

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • I don't want to move to the new tab immediately when I select text and search it from the context menu.

    When I select text and right-click on it and looking for it, the new tab open and switched to immediately. I don't want that. Instead, I want to stay on the page that I am and don't want new tab to switch immediately.

    Hi Obaid.Farooq, please try the following:
    enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named browser.search.context.loadInBackground. Double-click it and change its value to true.

  • If I want to open the Web site in a second tab and press Ctrl + T and start typing the title of the website or the URL, why Firefox 4 insists on moving to the first tab? Is it possible to disable this option?

    I regularly need to open the same Web site in two tabs, to be able to view the changes between the first and the second opening tabs. In Firefox 3.x I could press Ctrl + T and start typing the URL or Web site title, which would be part by Firefox. This allowed me to open quickly the same website in a second tab Firefox 4 does not, on the contrary, he wants me to switch to the existing tab. This isn't what I need.

    Of course, it is possible to open the Web site in a second tab through for example a bookmark, but it takes more time and effort. It would be great if I could select the Firefox behavior in this situation.

    If you have already opened this page in another tab and then you get a switch to tab appears in the location bar menu drop-down.

    You can watch this extension to prevent that from happening:

  • When I open a tab and start typing a URL in the address bar, my goal is switched to the google search field while I type.

    When I open a new tab in Firefox, usually the first thing I do is start typing a URL in the address bar to the new tab (normally that uses AutoComplete to sites that I visit a lot). The new tab usually displays a google search page which is fine. It's there if I need it.

    Lately, however, has changed the behavior of firefox when I open a new tab. After that I opened a new tab, my goal is taken from the address bar in the google search box. I mean not the Firefox search box either. I mean the search box on the google page. This occurs after I already started typing if I get the first letter or 2 of what I type in the search box, while the rest began to appear in the google search box. When I type a URL I want in the address bar. Not in the search box.

    On reflection, I think that there are a few extensions that try to block or reverse this behavior of the Google search page. If you check your extensions, are one of them suddenly disabled or missing?

    You can open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then check down to the disabled extensions.

    Try resetting the browser.search.selectedEngine pref on the topic: config page.

    To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.

    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.

    • Preferences that have changed see the bold (user set).
    • Preferences you can restore the default value or change via the context menu.

  • Firefox gets super slow when I highlight text.

    The browser is lagging when I try to scroll upwards or downwards. It's even worse if I double click to highlight; only, it freezes for a few seconds. I think it started after the last update.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.
  • When I add text and press "enter" it suddenly will not go down a space.

    One minute it was fine so I know I must have hit something, but I can't fix it. When I hit enter when adding text does not have a space, he returns to the starting point and on the existing text types. Can someone help me understand how to solve this problem? =)

    It seems that your leader is set to a very low value. Change it to 'Auto' for most cases. Where it gets changed depends on which version you use.
