On Facebook, is this happening to anyone else?


Recommended Posts

This DUMB BOX keeps on popping up for no reason. Doesn't matter where my mouse is. It picks one of my friends at random and that box ALWAYS COMES UP. Sometimes even my own box comes up.

:angry:

Not in a great mood today. Besides that, my computer is lagging for no apparent reason. Taking forever for things to open. Seems to be getting slightly better since this morning after uninstalling the new ATI 10.8, which was also causing youtube to freeze and BSOD my computer. -__-

yeah definitely looks borked to me.

umm could try clearing your cache and restarting the browser? could also be rare bug in the new version of ff that was just released?(extreme possibility but not likely imho)

just some ideas. :p

Haha, yeah... I've done that a bunch of times. I'm gonna see if it happens with Chrome...

Could it be a virus or malware perhaps? You say your computer has slowed down, which is a typical symptom of viruses.

Malwarebytes and MSE have found absolutely nothing, though. So probably not.

I hope it's not an HDD dying again. Just had one fail the other month. I scanned with SeaTools and on one, the scan never finished, and on the other, it finished almost instantly. :/

I wouldn't say it was malware nor your hardware dying to be honest. It could possibly be a stuck key, but im thinking it looks more like a bug try resetting firefox in Safemode.

Yeah, I checked for stuck keys. I don't think it's that, because these boxes keep popping up at random places on the screen, lol. I'm thinking it's a bug. It's not happening in Chrome.

I'll open Firefox in safemode and see if it still happens.

i only get those boxes when i mouse over certain links in fb.

This.

Yeah, that's what's supposed to happen. But they're popping up out of nowhere.

AND HOLY CRAP. I refresh my page and see this -

:wacko:

UP THERE?! LOL

I got that too, looks like they are tweaking the code. Perhaps it worked on their developer servers, but porting it over caused a few issues. Looks resolved now.

The box alows quick previews and links for the profile link your hovering over, and its been broken ever since they implemented it a month or 2 ago. probably about 1 in 6 profiles will have it stuck in top left corner when you click a link to get to it. It's a site problem and nothing todo with browsers or plugins.

I've had it since it came out but it only started acting funny last night.

And in other news, my computer's HDD is failing. Just got the warning to back up files. That explains the slowdowns :/

Never buying a Seagate again. This will be my 4th time returning the same stupid drive. And of course they make ME pay to ship it back to them.

I'm using Firefox too, I don't recall ever seeing that.

By the way, I wouldn't appreciate it if my friends were posting screenshots like that online with info about me like my picture and name. I would've blurred out my friends' names n stuff.

i use this to remove/block most of the crap on facebook try that i think it removes that freaking pop up

:p

I've got that installed. I'll see if it can block it in a little bit.

Currently backing up all my files and getting ready to start fresh, no thanks to my main HDD failing, heh.

Seeing that you hate computers we are so not gonna help you :p

JK, anyways happens to me on chrome, its like you end up dragging your mouse over some link that pop up gets attached and drags along to where you leave your cursor.

Seems to be a design issue, FB would be workingon this I guess.

Why not disable all add-ons for firefox and see if that helps? you mentioned safe-mode worked a bit better

Just reinstalled my OS and having a brand-new firefox didn't help at all. :/

By the way, it would be good to edit such screenshots so anybody's personal information isn't showing :) People set privacy settings for a reason :)

I'll do that next time. I felt comfortable with these guys though that they wouldn't mind since most their names were inaccurate, and their profiles are public :p

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
