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

    • Which finger's fingernail are we talking about? I can see how not having this info can lead to massive differences in interpretation.
    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
