User Story

User should not have to keep on moving mouse to get web page to download, or a web video to keep playing instead of pausing.

See bug 933733 for previous work on this issue. Likely regressed by bug 937306
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141027150301

Steps to reproduce:

When opening a web page or viewing a flash movie I have to continually move the mouse to download the page or stop the player from freezing.


Actual results:

Page won't download unless mouse is moved


Expected results:

The page should download without moving the mouse. This issue was in version 25. Now in version 33.0.2
(KaiRo, Milan: CC'd per feedback on 933733 that we need confirmation this is fixed or not on 33 - looks like 'no' ?)

Solusnauta, could you go to Help > Troubleshooting information, and copy-paste the "graphics" section of the page that comes up into a comment on this report? Thank you!

According to the User Advocacy team, we still have reports (but few) that this is happening in 33.

Do we have about:support information from any of those users? It would sure be nice if we could look for some correlations. :-(
Cheng, see previous comment, do we have any info from users that need to move the mouse to get sites working?

Any ideas how to change the summary? (I do, but maybe some of you guys will come up with a better one...)

Maybe we can keep the description ("Have to keep...") by putting it elsewhere. But that's pretty strange for a bug summary...
User Story: (updated)
Summary: Have to keep on moving mouse to get web page to download, or a web video to keep playing instead of pausing. This bug was in version 25. I am using 33.0.2 and appears this bug has returned. → Network traffic suspended unless mouse is moving

My father's computer had this problem. Firefox 33.1.1

I seem to have fixed it by uninstalling:
MapsGalaxy Toolbar by Mindspark

I had also uninstalled:
Inbox Ace Toolbar by Mindspark

I see Mindspark in Joel's about:plugins report above. Joel, try unins

Recommended solution for users: uninstall all Mindspark toolbars (through "Programs and Features", sort by publisher and uninstall all toolbars from Mindspark).
Recommended solution for Mozilla: disable this ... toolbar.

Also of note:
Before uninstalling, Firefox worked as expected when Task Manager or Resource Monitor was running.
Either this or bug 1105386 is probably a dupe, although I haven't checked if the latter regressed in 33. Either way, installing Shrink Pic [1] triggers what sounds like the same behavior (which might be less obvious to the user than a toolbar).

[1] http://www.onthegosoft.com/shrink_pic.htm
I have a client experiencing the same problem. She was running version 33.1 and the problem is now occurring with 34.0.5.  Because the environment is somewhat different than listed above (notably graphics and antivirus), I will contribute the good stuff on this computer, an i3 processor running Win 7 (64-bit) with Intel HD graphics and Symantec Endpoint Protection (freestanding client):

Hi reporter,


I haven't managed to reproduce this issue on the latest release(43.0.3) nor latest Nightly(46.0a1). Any website I navigate to, downloads and/or plays videos correctly.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 20151223140742

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0
Build ID: 20160104030217

Can you please try to reproduce this on the latest release(43.0.3) and latest Nightly(46.0a1) and provide the results? When doing this, please try to reproduce with a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even in safe mode, as some of this issues may be caused by third party installed add-ons or custom settings(https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems).


Thanks,
Paul.
