| Firefox problems? I am going crazy so I am desperately hoping someone knows what's going on. Yesterday my mouse pointer went invisible. It is only visible if I am moving it. Today I realized my up/down arrows were sending me all the way to the top or bottom of the screen instead of moving in small increments. Now they aren't doing anything and neither is home, pg up, pg dn or end. I am on a laptop so it is a huge problem. Only my finger mousepad is working and I hate scrolling on that. Also, as I type the pointer flickers with each letter. I know it is Firefox causing this because everything works perfectly offline or on IE. I posted on the Firefox forum but it doesn't seem to be an active forum. I guess I might need to contact Firefox directly. Anyone else having this problem or know what in the heck is going on?

| Mine is working fine. I wonder if it'd help if you reinstalled it? ETA: Now I'm paranoid and feeling like mine is running slowly.

| It's so weird- now my down arrow sends me all the way to the bottom of the screen and the other buttons aren't doing anything. If I reinstall I'll lose all of my bookmarks I guess?

| It's working fine for me. I would try to reinstall. There is a problem called Foxmarks (I think) that can save your bookmarks as often as you want and then you can bring them up on any computer. Maybe save them in that?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Have you tried googling the problem? Try using the words Firefox, mouse, and visible.

Firefox is functioning okay for me, but my computer does seem slower these past few day - now I'm wondering too!

| I googled it every way I could think of. I'm going to go figure out how to save my bookmarks and reinstall I guess.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | If they are saved on IE, can you transfer them them to Firefox?

| They aren't on IE. I did just install Foxmarks but all of a sudden, my arrow is normal. Pg up/pg dn are working and my up/down arrows keys are working when they want to. Home and end still nothing. This is so strange! I guess I'll go reinstall.

| Oh awesome! I was going to uninstall foxmarks as soon as I reloaded because apparently there are some security issues or something.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'm not sure if this applies to your situation: Cursor disappears in Firefox | Tremend Tech Blog By the way when I googed it your post on Yorkietalk came up first. It looks like others are having the same problem and some say it was after visiting certain sites. I wonder if spyware could be involved?

| I've been having some problems with the scroll thing sending me all the way to the bottom of the page but only on *some* websites. It seems to be working just fine when I'm on YT. Nancy- I just checked out the link that you posted....I have NO idea what they are talking about!
