I have just installed Firefox 7 on my new iMac that is running on Lion OS 10.7.2 and found that all hover states (rollovers) do not work here at all, i dun get dropdown menus or css colour change on any of my own websites or on other websites. I did move some of my profile files from the old iMac into the new one and everything else works fine. it also works on my old iMac which is running on Snow Leopard OS. but i have notice that its really slow on my Snow Leopard iMac and often just hangs on random pages for no reason.

Can someone tell me what i should do? I have tried moving the whole profile folder for the old iMac, when that did work, i started a new profile and move the recommended files only as shown on here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox. and it still doesn't work. Help please.

I am having this problem in OS/X Lion with all browsers, not just Firefox, can we do some testing some of you to confirm that you might be having the same issue in other browsers? I have tested this in Opera, Firefox, Safari, & Chrome... all four had the same problem when it cropped up. A computer restart fixes it for a time, seems to happen randomly in OS/X Lion.

Are that CSS hover states or are they done via JavaScript ?

Is any other content missing?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

css and jquery... there's really no point in a screenshot coz there's no hover state happening at all - no cursor change, no hover state, no dropmenu.

attached is a screenshot of Firefox on the left and Safari on the right and how the hover state is suppose to look like, but i get nothing when i do the same on Firefox. Main menu items on the sample site has no links to another page, only hover states to drop the submenus down, which only happen when i click on them in Firefox 7. that's not the right behaviour, its suppose to happen on hover not on click.

I have no such problems on my old Mac which is running on the same Firefox 7 and Snow Leopard OS. My new 1-week-old mac is using Lion OS 10.7.2, and its only happening here. And its not just this sample website http://www.modahotel.ca/, its all the websites i build and even this mozilla site, eg. on the top of this page, the mozilla menu items has a underline for its hover state right? well, i don't see it on this new mac on FF, only on Safari, and on FF on my old mac.

I have tried everything from downloading a new copy of Firefox, deleting my profile and starting with a blank one, copying ALL the files from my old profile on my old mac, and replacing only recommended files only as shown on here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox into the new profile. nothing works :(

It looks that at least the imported CSS file stylesheets/menu.css isn't working.

Opening the menu is done via CSS, the coloring is done via JavaScript.

Does at least the hover work if you disable JavaScript after the page has loaded?


/* 2nd Menu */
ul#menu-main-menu ul a {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 5px 10px;
	display: block;
	color: #ffffff;
	text-transform: none;
	letter-spacing: 0;
	background: #000000;
	border-bottom: solid 1px #eceff4;
}

/* 2nd Menu Hover Persistence */
ul#menu-main-menu li:hover li a:hover,
ul#menu-main-menu li:hover li:hover a,
ul#menu-main-menu li.iehover li a:hover,
ul#menu-main-menu li.iehover li.iehover a {
	color: #ffffff;
	background: #9b0000 url(../images/bg_nav.gif) repeat 0 0;
}

umm i don't think it has anything to do with css, imported or inline :(

as i mentioned earlier its not just the moda site (i'm just using that as a sample), its all the websites i built and every single website out there that's not working for me, even mozilla's site. none of the hover state work at all.

and nope... i tried disabling javascript in the preference like you said and there's no difference... sigh... this is so weird, never had this happen to me before :( so now i cant sell my old mac?? coz i do this for a living and i use Firefox as my main testing browser, i really need to get this fix. Anybody else out there has Firefox 7 on a mid-2011 iMac 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 running on Lion OS 10.7.2 that has a broken Firefox 7? or is it just me? can i downgrade to a 6? would that help? if so, where can i find the installer for the 6?

Cor-el thank you for taking the time to help me out here :P

You can try to use the DOM Inspector to see if the CSS files are loaded.

Left click the selector for the left panel > Stylesheets

Yes they are loaded, i checked a couple of sites and they all appear to be in order and loaded. all css via "link type" or "import" are loaded when i check thru the inspector.

Do you only have that mouse hover problem on those specific pages or on other pages as well?


Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

all the pages on every website i go to not just my own, even mozilla site as i mentioned earlier. I have tried creating a new profile, and it also didn't work and i have also tried replacing only recommended files only as shown on here http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox into the new profile, as i mentioned in my earlier post, basically i have tried everything i can do before coming here to look for a solution, and i know it's not any of the websites that causing the problem, its Firefox 7 is not working properly on Lion OS. I'm a web designer and i know that all my css are working from before and its only the hover state that's not working on the combination of Firefox 7 and Lion OS. I don't even get a hand cursor when i mouse over any regular links (text links in the copy eg. <a href="#">text here</a>), not just css controlled ones.

I have tried submitting a feedback thru this link (http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback#sad) and i couldn't even submit it as nothing happens when i click the "Submit Feedback" button.

Is there a way i can downgrade to Firefox 6 or something? i can't seem to find the installer anywhere on the Mozilla site.

Submit on that page may not work if your message is too long.

Hi Cor-el,

I have just tried re-installing Firefox by deleting it and re-downloading it, then without opening, i did as you suggest in creating a new profile, so its bare bones with no add-ons or extensions... it still broken, didn't work, i even restart the computer to make sure its not because of that. My other friend has a new Airbook with Lion as well and his Firefox 7 is bare bones but it works fine for him. So i really do not know what the issue is now.

back to my other question... is there a way i can downgrade? i cant seem to find a Firefox 6 installer on the Mozilla site. At least if everything works on FF 6 i can still use it for work until the problem with my 7 goes away, i just don't know how to make it go away!!

Thanks!

I am having this problem at work on an iMac that came pre-installed with Lion and I installed Firefox 7. I also have a Mini at home which was already running Firefox 7, then upgraded to Lion and Firefox does not have this problem. Not sure what this means but hopefully someone will find the info helpful.
