Drop-down menus on some sites no longer trigger a chosen time

Starting from the version 24 (on a Mac Pro running OS 10.9), on some sites, such as http://download.cnet.com/new-mac-software/?tag=rb_wrap;rb_content;main, menu items will stop working. Options for, in this case, display more results will be visible, but only the default action can be selected. Similarly, trying to connect (to post comments on pages such as http://www.newrepublic.com/article/115817/stephen-fry-responds-grammar-pedants) or present the login window, accept the entry and fail to complete the connection, or, Alternatively, do not show the login window at all.

In each of these instances, I turn to Safari (where these actions run perfectly), and the need to do what is clearly indicating that Firefox cannot qualify as my default browser.

You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

Reload Web pages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

  • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
  • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
  • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

Clear the cache and cookies only from Web sites that are causing problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox > Preferences > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

  • Firefox > Preferences > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

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.

  • Flash drop-down menus

    I am creating a site that has flash in drop-down menus that are sitting in the first row of a table. In the second row is a large graphical banner - the banner is different for each of the eight sections of the site.

    I could put the banner in my menus and create 8 different files flash for menus, but this clearly isn't the way to do it. As I see it, I have two choices:

    1. find a way to easily win the menus drop "over" the chart. I played with the wmode = "transparent" setting but I can't seem to make it work. I publish my movie with a transparent window and then place it in the first row of the table. He stillpushes the second way to graph of line to the bottom of the page. I must be missing something.

    2. combine the menus and the graphic banner (my preference because it would allow me to make the banner look better with a touch of animation). I'd then 8 records and 8 versions of the menus... bad. Can I integrate a single file menu flash in 8 different flash animations so that the menus don't load only once. In addition, these inevitable changes are to be made to a single file.

    I'd appreciate your comments.

    Thank you
    Sam

    1. the file will occupy the dimensions, there an amovie of s, so the wmode service to make the background transparent.  You will probably need to put the Flash in a div which floats at the z above the table level, together with the transparent wmode.

    2. There are a variety of options.

    You can create the menu as a separate swf and load it into each swf banner.  Which will result in a menu swf and some number of banner SWF.

    You could have a menu-banner swf that dynamically load some image there on the page that it is.  You can use FlashVars to indicate what image load for this page.

    You could do a little of both... have a menu swf and have a swf banner that loads the menu and load the image on the page it is on.

  • Drop-down menus work is not on the Web site.

    I have created a wonderful new site for a client using Muse and he saw the Business Catalyst website and is very happy with it. However, when I downloaded on his web server no drop-down submenus appear - but they do in Business Catalyst. I noticed that they do not appear in the preview either (I don't not pay much attention at the time). All links to the pages are set to 'include the page with hyperlink' or 'include page without hyperlink' - according to what was required by the customer. Can someone give me a clue as to why the submenu is not displayed?

    Hi gerard

    Thank you very much for taking the trouble to help me, but I seem to have fixed. The customer has an account with "Clicky Analytics" and I put a HTML on the site in the master page in the site I was building. This prevented (somehow) in the drop-down menus to work. I took the master page into pieces and then added each element-back and when I added 'Clicky' menu has stopped working again.

    So I hope this helps anyone else who has a problem. This could be due to a code to another site.

    Thanks again for your help

  • Cannot scroll inside the drop down Menus

    I just got a new laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit) HP, installed Firefox 11 (now updated to 12) and discovered that when using the touchpad (Touchpad Synaptics v8.1. Driver provided by Synaptics, version 15.3.29.0 as of 10/13/2011), I can't scroll inside the drop down menus.

    To replicate, go to this link: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/sss/

    Click on the drop down menu to the search category. Use the touch pad to scroll through the list. Mine closed list and returns focus in the browser instead of scrolling of the list. It then scrolls the window of the browser instead. This works fine in IE. I tried the things:

    Safe mode
    Unchecking scroll smoothly
    Uncheck auto-scroll
    Uncheck the hardware acceleration

    And about all the various combinations of the above things. I also tried to restart Firefox every time I made a change. Nothing seems to solve this problem.

    Oddly enough, if there is a window of text within the page (as I write this), I can scroll than fine. Once I move my mouse out of the box, it scrolls the homepage very well. I don't think that it is a matter of the development following the mouse, there something to scrollable drop-down boxes that specifically seems.

    Also, I must point out that all the pages I have problems with work well in IE how they SHOULD work in Firefox.

    I had this exact problem, the same features of HP and the driver Synaptics. I went to synaptics site and downloaded their latest driver which is lower 15.3.29.0 for some reason any. There 15.2.20, I got this one for 64 bit since that's what I have. You must uninstall the 15.3.29.0 first because it is "newer". He now works properly in FF and IE and everything else. If for any reason any the last FF has a confrontation with the latest version of the synaptics driver and FF devs had to include a fix in the next patch.

  • Drop-down menus and scroll bar does not work

    I had a lap top 8 windows based perflectly until about a week ago, when I download updates for windows 8: when I started to scroll to the bottom of the window, as soon as I stopped by pressing my left click of the mouse, the scroll bar would automatically scroll to the top. I scroll down again and it automatically scrolls to the top of the page again. Similarly, this problem occurs with the help of the drop-down menus, it's not appear or deploy in a flash that won't let you point any option.

    This is to occur with all the drop down menus: on internal programs as well as in the internet sites. Even the menus on this assignment window, refers to windows 7, as the first choice and I cannot change. The problem is the WINDOWS 8 and its updates.

  • Drop-down menus does not open. Click right box will not appear.

    Hello!

    Yesterday, I was working on the Wix site. I noticed that when I tried to do a right click to copy and paste text box never showed up. I realized then, on other sites, in the drop down menus would not open (as the ones where you select your State, etc.). I can't turn on the bar menu at the top of Firefox with the ALT key, but when I click Tools or anything else, the box does not fall down. Same thing for my bookmarks and menu of frequently used buttons. My right click works fine when I'm not online. I really like to use Firefox and hope that there is a better solution than to switch to a different browser. I use Firefox at work and it's there.

    Please let me know if you need more information.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

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

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode 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 issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow 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.

  • Drop-down menus blink and are not accessible.

    Multi-site blink drop-down menus and are not accessible. Why? I tried to restart and will by default nothing helps. This will not occur in Internet Explorer.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible, the settings in the software security and cleaning of the Windows registry.

    • Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you will lose all personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • The drop-down menus, context menus and menu for Auto-filling items are not displayed!

    I FF4 beta, it started from FF4 beta 7. I'm working on Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.

    The problem is that I can't see drop-down menus unless they have many elements, or context menus (such as highlighting a text then right click on it), auto fill bars no longer view AutoFill info is entered before... the menu itself appears a bit. but it is transparent and I can not display the items, do not know where to click to select the thing I want.

    I don't have this problem before 4.0b7... after I got it, I thought it was one of the plugins, so I disabled them all but still have the problem!

    A picture describing the problem encountered is taken here, now on this page, I've highlighted a text and right click on it: here you can see the menu appears somehow, surrounded by the red border, but I'm not!

    Tools > Options > advanced

    Under navigation try disabling use hardware acceleration when available. It shouldn't affect the context menus like this, but who knows with NVIDIA cards.
