Why relying on the key ESC no longer stop loading a page?

When I was using the old version of Firefox (13.something, I think), hit the 'ESC' key instantly stopped any page loading. This does not work in my current version (16.something). I have to click on the X at the far right of the address bar. This inability to stop a page from loading quickly begins to remind me of Internet Explorer.

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 start safe mode window or make changes.

    I think it's the same button, actually. Loading a page it display an 'X' and after that it loads, it displays the circular arrow of reloading.

  • Why can't I managed to install the iso file in my USB? I've tried different usb and hard drives and disassembled a lot or time usb but when, it comes up with an error copying the files on and it stops loading? What should I do?

    Why am I unable to download and copy iso files that need to go into the USB drive, it always comes up with an error when copying the installation files and none of the solutions have worked (some of the things I've tried are different from the USB, disassemble and repeat the download process windows files)

    You cannot use a simple USB as a source and destination. You must copy the ISO file (it's a single file, not the full installer) in your Documents folder and then run BCA to create a USB installation program. 2015 macs do not create a USB installation program.

  • Can I use an existing Windows 7 Professional Upgrade DVD for Windows 7 Professional upgrade using the keys I bought instead of loading down?

    I've updated three of my computers from Windows XP Professional for Window 7 Professional using kits of DVD I bought. I have three sets of Window 7 professional DVD in my possession. I bought a new license [facility provided by Microsoft key] for my ThinkPad. I ordered also accompanying the DVD, which I imagine will happen next week. Rather than wait for the DVD, can I use one of my existing 32 Bit Windows DVD for installation to upgrade with the new license key that I got from Microsoft?

    No problem - but you might want to wait, if your existing DVD is the original version, because a new will have SP1 integrated, so it'll even some hassles :)

  • Since the FF13 update news FEED stopped loading/updating!

    Had heard a report on it and I had the same problem immediately after updating to the latest version.

    I have about 50 live bookmarks on my bookmarks bar and they all stopped working. They charge not even manually - they don't show all the titles: empty set as if they are all dead.

    Needless to say that it's a significant pain in the neck and if all goes well, there a solution or at least a workaround...

    Hello, are you using addons that provide or extend the functionality of the live bookmarks? because firefox 13 changed the way it handles rss feeds in order to optimize performance. test if it works correctly when you run firefox in safe mode - if so, please try to research if there is an update availble for these extensions, or disable them at the moment.

  • I don't find the default toolbar icons to stop loading and reloading in Fireofx 5.01. Can you help me, please?

    Can you please direct me to the icons in the toolbar to stop the loading and reloading? They seem to have disappeared in the latest version of Firefox. Thank you.

    Firefox 4 and later versions use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is placed at the right end of the address bar.
    During the process of loading page it shows as a stop button and once the charging button is replaced by a reload button.
    If you type in the address bar this button would then become a button go.
    Click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab in a new tab.

    To move the buttons Stop and recharge in the position to the left of the address bar, you can use the following steps:

    • Open the Customize via "view > toolbars > customize.
    • If the menu bar is hidden on Windows or Linux use "Firefox > Options > toolbars."
    • Drag the buttons Reload and stop at their previous position to the left of the address bar.
    • Set the "Reload - Stop" order for a combined "Stop/Reload" button.
    • Set the order of 'Stop - Reload' or separate them otherwise (space or separator) for two separate buttons.
  • Firefox stop loading a page and perform a scan can ask to download the app from security or is it a scam?

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1334us Entertainment Notebook - mute button color in the key board is always Red

    The color of button mute Audio always on red although the sound turns power on and off when you press.  When the switch is turned off indicator turns white for a second.  Please suggest me the solution so that the mute button becomes red and white on the operation.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    IDT Audio Driver - Windows 7.

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When it finished, restart the computer again and check if the 'secret' led now changes colors correctly.

    Kind regards

  • Is there a way to change/modify the logo of spinning during the loading of pages?

    I want to customize my browser Firefox, but the only thing that I found can be changed, it is the "Persona", which is only background images. I was wondering if there is a way to change the rotation icon that appears when loading a page and maybe even the buttons next and previous. Do you know if this is possible?

    Do not use the chrome: / / prefix with the images.
    Just use the name of the file that I posted above.
    This will work if the images are in the chrome folder.
    The chrome Protocol is used to access internal files and files that are contained in an extension.

    .tab-throbber[busy] {
      list-style-image: url("r.png") !important;
