Cannot move anything in the browser - icons, tabs, etc.

I've just upgraded to Firefox 12.0 and have found that I can't do anything to drag anywhere. At first, I thought it was a problem with the Menu Editor extension - I was trying to reposition a component menu, just after doing the upgrade to v11.0. In the Options window the Menu editor that can be done simply by dragging, but it did not work.

I spent the time wrong with it until I realized that the other drag-type features do not work. In order to found:

  1. Cannot reorganize (drag / move) tabs.
  2. Cannot move the tab stop tab bar to open in another window.
  3. Cannot reorganize bookmarks and favicons on personal bar. Open the context menu of bookmarks toolbar and its commands work.
  4. Cannot move tabs to the bar Favorites or folder.
  5. [Window to customize open] cannot drag items to or from the window customize and cannot rearrange or move the Navigation bar or the bar Add on icons.

There may be questions focused more on the trail, but they are the only ones I can think of and have found. I don't know if I'd known, on the top of my head, extension interfaces accommodate slide they would fail to work. Basically, nothing moves when I click on it with the cursor and try to drag. I don't get any feedback as circle with slash graphic.

This may be a conflict extension but before I start to switch to many ad - ons that someone might know if this is a new feature setting, I don't know, that was the case before, when I updated.

I've also seen a recent thread open when the person has a similar problem (but on a Mac - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/926256?s=can%27t+drag+and+drop & r = 11 & e = & did = s). I wonder if there are perhaps other elements of that this person also cannot move, but not has not yet discovered, and if this problem and mine is perhaps related.

After following the instructions with the following...

... I determined that my theme or a corrupt localstore.rdf were the cause of my problems.

Then begins the troubleshooting extensions (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes?redirectlocale=en-US & redirectslug = Troubleshooting + extensions + and + themes).

Hardware acceleration has been eliminated as a cause as it has never been activated.

It turns out that, like the Mac user in the thread I linked above, Torbutton has been the cause of the problem. I thought that it unlikely just because it seemed so not related to how the problem was evident.

Torbutton was not invalid he's turned off in the browser, so I considered it "not active".

This message was posted on the first page of the Torbutton website last spring: "now that the Tor Browser Bundle includes a patched Firefox version, and because we have not enough resources to deal with the Firefox version developer accelerated schedule, the Torbutton toggle model is not recommended. "Users should use Tor Browser Bundle, do not install Torbutton themselves."

Their "Active Torbutton Tickets" page includes two of the problems I had like individual bugs, "Torbutton add-on interferes with the buttons on toolbar add-ons (including his own)" and «torbutton disables the ability to drag and save quick links»

They go to a variety of reasons, they no longer support the key in this blog (https://blog.torproject.org/blog/toggle-or-not-toggle-end-torbutton). Mainly for security reasons, partly because they cannot deal with the hourly output FF and last because users are reporting more broken features and incompatibilities with each new version of FF.

  • My toolbar Adobe Reader that lets save you, print, e-mail, etc. as the document in the browser window/tab is gone and I want to know how to get it back.

    I was unable to view PDF files in Firefox and would get a white screen telling me that I had to re - install Adobe. I did this and still he could not visualize the PDF files in the browser window or tab.

    Now that I've upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, I don't have the Adobe Reader toolbar which used to be a toolbar above a PDF file when displaying in the browser window or tab. I don't have the printer icon, icon of the diskette, email icon, page arrows to scroll upwards or downwards, the percentage of size, etc.. Is there a way to be able to have this toolbar again?

    Hi, I had the same problem. I fixed by changing the hand tool to the selection tool, clicking in the document and THEN by pressing F8.

  • FX - scroll content container move outside of the browser.

    Hello together!
    I have a question, which makes me mad for a month or two.
    I'm curious to know if anyone has an answer or you can at least tell me where I made the mistake...

    I did a small site on a page - master page. The browser fill is a mosaic with a scroll effect.


    The navigation is done with icons and I used anchors to navigate to single points.

    Everything works fine on my PC.

    But when I visit the page on another PC or Mac, or change browsers, and I use the navigation, or simply scroll down, the pages (content containers) begin to move to the left.

    I'm sure it has something to do with the anchors, but I do not know...

    In older versions, I always put the anchos on the right or left side of the page, so they would not disturb me. But a few days ago, I saw a tutorial, and this guy has placed all the anchors in the center of the page.

    So I did - now. And it really works fin on MY PC - but nowhere else...

    Please if anyone can help me would be great!

    Here is the link to the page.

    http://dus00101.BusinessCatalyst.com/

    The screenshot below shows what it looks like in Internet Explorer.

    Obviously, the content containers are turning to the left side.

    Its always the left - right never!

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The content of the page is 1500 pixels wide. (When you resize the browser window smaller that the horizontal scroll bar is displayed when the browser window is less than 1500 pixels wide. As long as the browser window is less than 1500 pixels, there will be a horizontal scroll bar and horizontal scrolling will occur when scrolling of an anchor.

    If all the anchor points are at the same position x:, and then once the page has been scrolled beyond the one anchor scrolling elements will be later all vertical only (unless the user manually scrolls horizontally to another position).

    If you visit a site of Parallax as http://muse.adobe.com content is wide 980px.

    You can turn off the ability to scroll horizontally, which allows to hide the horizontal scroll bar, with a snippet of code pasted into the Page Propertiesarticle, but this is strongly discouraged because it would interfere with the normal navigation of your site for those visiting your site on smaller screens.

  • Cannot import anything in the timeline.

    I just bought a new laptop today. and cs6 pp installed on it.

    It seems to be a problem, I've never seen before, I can't import anything in the timeline to edit.

    It's not even the usual audio/video tabs showing.

    I use Windows 8, its an i7-3632QM Acer Aspire 2.2 ghz with turbo boost up to 3.2

    Intel HD GRAPHICS 4000 with up to 1 760 dynamic video memory MB.

    Someone I bougt garage the laptop just to make video stuff, and now I can't get anything done, can help please.

    You have created a sequence in the project Panel? You will only be able to drag files to the timeline since you have a sequence in your project. If you do not have a sequence, just double click it to open his chronology.

    Another way to automatically create image sequences must drag the item from the project Panel to the icon of a new element at the bottom of the Panel even. This will create the sequence and import are the images too.

  • Cannot access anything in the Start Menu.

    Original title: problems with Start Menu...

    Can Hi anyone help here please... I can access is more things in my Start menu, Control Panel, My Documents. My photos, my computer etc, etc, all died in the start menu. Whenever I click to open these things I just continue to get an error report, I scanned for virus etc but the sweep came clean... Thank you... Jon T.

    Oh heck - here's what I'd do:

    When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and XP stops threatening program.  XP should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

    Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

    Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

    If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

    First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

    Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

    ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

    After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

    Click on the header of column called Microsoft to sort display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' since they are not Microsoft extensions.

    Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

    You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.

    You can Google something like:

    Explorer XP crashing

    You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

    See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

    I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

    Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

    If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

    Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

    Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, and then restart and try again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

    You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

    If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

    The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

    I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

    If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

    If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry app world changed the browser icon

    Hello, I have a Bold 9780 and the following problem. I opened the app world and are passed to settings for google. Since I had two icons of browser but not BB appworld icon more. I have reset the software. I tried using BB Desktop Manager. None of this has helped. If I check under the software, blackberry app world is still there. But I can't use it. Unfortunately this has happened there, 4 months so I can't use my bb at all. So here is my last test. Help, please!

    Hey, Dine,.

    It soulds as the second browser icon is your mobile network providers WAP browser. Because the BlackBerry World is not listed under application management, could you please try reinsert from the link in resolution 1 of the following article? "BlackBerry App World icon is missing after upgrade to BlackBerry App World 4.0.0.63 to 4.0.0.65" KB29422 if this does not help, could you please try the other steps in the article?

    Let me know if this helps.

  • BlackBerry smartphones following restore, the browser icon is missing...?

    I managed to find a way to restore my new phone, but after the restoration, I don't have an icon of browser...?

    Here are the basic things to try.

    1. Do a battery pull.  This can be sufficient, even if the chances are that you must perform the following steps.
    2. Re-register your device on the BlackBerry network by clicking the Options > Advanced Options > host Routing Table.  Press the BB Menu key, then select Save now.
    3. Return your service books.  If you are unable to access your BIS or BES account, contact your carrier or BES admin for what they send you service directories.
    4. Pull the battery again.

    If it still does not respond, they maybe missed a small step by transferring your data from your old phone to the new plan.  Give them one quick call from another phone, and they'll look at your account to make sure that everything has been set up right.  I know that when I got my replacement, the browser would not show until they overthrew basically one switch (so to speak).  You will know that this is the problem if the status of your connection in the corner top right reads like "1xev" instead of "1XEV".

    I hope this works!
