Some web pages jump elsewhere after loading

I've recently upgraded to Firefox 12 after hanging the 3.6 as long as possible. I've noticed that some web pages will jump to another location, as soon as it finishes loading, sometimes after, that I scrolled down to the top and read something (I have a slow connection). For example, www.computerworld.com jumps in the middle of the page finished loading. It never happened in point 3.6, nor is it in IE9. How can I fix it? It is very annoying!

Natural_Born_Nerd, you use the hosts file in Windows to block certain domains such as ad/malware? If so, you probably encounter this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748803

It is a step backwards and it will be fixed in FF13.

    If they load in Safe Mode, then it is a third-party plug-in or software blocking sites while not in Safe Mode.

    Do you have the third-party antivirus or firewall? Do you have any unknown third party plugins or extensions?

    Open the Finder, click go > go to folder, copy and paste the following and click on Go

    This is where your plug-in user. By default, this folder must be completely empty, so anything here has been added either by you or with 3rd party software that has been installed. You can move anything in this folder on the desktop and then try with your sites. If this works, your choice in their folder one by one until it doesn't. Remove the problem and it redownload only if you really need.

    Have you tried safe mode?
    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.

    The last few days during the use of the internet, some Web pages will not be not open.

I searched the net for days trying to find a solution but nothing I tried worked.  I'm not very computer savvy either so don't know much of what I do with this technical stuff.  I emptied the caches, but that did not work.  Following the advice of an answer to another question on this forum that was similar to mine, I went into the Terminal and performed a diagnostic test.  I don't understand all the information in this essay so hope someone here can decipher.

    Hi AussieEgypt,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.

    If a problem does not occur when it is started in safe mode, then you have already determined that the problem was isolated to a few 3rd party software running on your Mac.  Take a look at the information below to start with the removal of some elements of start-up and connection and see if the problem persists:

    Test your login items

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click users and groups.

    2. Click on your account under the current user name, and then click connection points.

      Make a list of the login items, you will need to remember later.

    3. Select all the elements of connection, and then click the button Delete .

    4. Choose the Apple menu > restart.

    5. If this solves the problem, reopen the preferences users and groups, add the elements of connection one at a time and restart your Mac after the addition of each of them.

      If the problem persists, follow the steps above to remove only the last element of connection that you added.

  • Some web pages do not have the installation of scrolling in Firefox, but they do in Safari, I would like to solve this problem.

    On some web pages, for example http://www.zen169231.zen.co.uk/jimsplace/beginwinders.htm (and others), by clicking on another topic, the page appears without a scroll bar and does not scroll with the mouse wheel either. This only happens in Firefox and Safari, I do not normally use as I prefer Firefox. Thank you very much.

    This problem seems to occur in popup windows, or can it happen in any window? The reason why I mention pop-up windows is that there is a bug in Firefox 38 with the following combination of circumstances:

    (1) viewing a page in a private browsing window
    (2) tabbed browsing is powered down
    (3) you click on a link that launches the link in a new window (because the site code the link with target = "_blank")

    The new window opens without menus, toolbar, scroll bars, etc.

    Work on this bug is in progress, but I don't know if the fix will be available in the coming weeks. These are the known workarounds so you can continue using windows browsing private - one of them will work around the bug:

    (1) use tabbed browsing (there is a checkbox in the preferences > General > "Open new windows in a new tab instead");

    (2) shift + click the links to open in a new window with standard features. or

    (3) change a bunch of hidden settings as explained below - it will not you make changes to the way you use Firefox, but sometimes you need to enlarge some small pop-up windows that have been sized for a window with no toolbar displayed.

    # 3, here are the steps:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste feat and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) for each preference that begins with dom.disable_window_open_feature. , if it is not 'true', double-click it to true.

    You may find that you prefer this anyway, given that sites can band is more these pop-up windows features.

  • There is no menu bar on some web pages

    There is no menu bar on some web pages, usually when a link is clicked. If I copy and paste the URL to a new page of the menu bar is present. Hope it makes sense.

    You run Firefox in private browsing (permanent) mode?

    You may experience 1166066 bug that occurs when you run Firefox in private browsing mode and you open links in a new window.

    Possible solutions:

    (1) use Options/Preferences > General: "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    (2) Shift+click links to open in a new window with the standard features or use the right-click context menu.
    

    You can change dom.disable_window_open_feature prefs and change their value to true to prevent a Web site to disable toolbars and scroll bars in a pop-up window

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Buttons missing on some Web pages, tried most of the listed solutions.

    As indicated, the clickable buttons have disappeared from some Web pages. Not only the image of buttons, but the buttons themselves, which is nothing to click on. I tried to disable all add-ons, no change. I created a new profile, without change. Checked the javascript, it is enabled. Page style is activated. I started Firefox in safe mode, the buttons are once more displayed and clickable. The only thing I have not done is reset Firefox, because I don't know how 'reset' will be and I don't want to destroy my profile.
    I'm not proficient in web formats or programming of Firefox, so if I need to add more specific information please let me know what it takes. Added in the requested field of troubleshooting information.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    You can delete all data stored in Firefox with a specific area through "Forget this Site" in the context menu of a history entry ("" history > view history "or" view > sidebar > History "") or via the subject: permissions page.

    Using "Forget this Site" will delete all data stored in Firefox in this area as bookmarks, cookies, words of past, cache, history, and exceptions, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from this area you don't want to lose so take note of these passwords and bookmarks.

    You can't recover from this "forget" unless you have a backup of the affected files.

    It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

  • When you try to clear all the history in the address bar, even though I followed the instructions for ' ctrl, shift, delete, some web pages remain stuck. Even if I highlight one at a time and press DELETE, they remain. What can I do to eliminate?

    When you try to delete web pages of my story on the site of a drop down bar area, I do what Firefox instructed by hitting the "ctrl, shift, delete ' key but some web pages stay." Even if I highlight each page and click on remove, they stay. How can I remove these web pages?

    Entries in the bar location drop-down list with a yellow star (blue on Mac) at the right end of the bookmarks and Scripture cannot be cleared from the location bar menu drop down with the delete key.

    You can delete this an item marked with a bookmark that appear in the list, if you open this url in a tab and click on the yellow star in the address bar.

    This will open the "Edit this bookmark" dialog box and you can click on the delete button to delete the bookmark if you want to delete such an entry marked with a bookmark.

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • Satellite C660 - some Web page icons do not work

    First of all please forgive me for being very naïve about the functioning of the laptop. I know a little but nothing more than how to perform analyses of virus/malware and surf the net.

    I have a laptop C660 - R15 (PSC0LE). I started to have problems with IE8 in windows 7 (it came with the laptop). I noticed that some Web page icons or menus will not work. At first I thought it was a problem of java so made sure that I was running the latest version. But it still persists. So I then upgraded to IE9 that Windows 7 has suggested. This is where the problem has increased.

    I can not yet use icons on Web pages and also my laptop now works very very slow when I try to open folders/programs. Internet works ok (ish) but sometimes goes all too slow.

    I upgraded my BIOS for a keyboard problem, I had (it had been delayed evil), which fixed the problem and I also ran program PC Health Advisor who said I need some driver updates.

    Is it a Windows 7 problem? Or is there anything else I should look at?

    Keep your answers in terms of base because I admit openly that I am strongly a technophob with regard to the functioning of the laptop.

    It seems that my question has been moved, but it is still. Also the computer is trolling again and it is sometimes so bad that it takes more than 3 minutes to sort. Even when I Ctrl, alt & del it takes forever for the Task Manager start to appear. Any ideas?
