Hi musicfan,<br />Sorry you are having problems with Firefox. Maybe you should have asked earlier and we could have fixed it.
Reading your comments I do not see that rolling back to an insecure Firefox 22 will actually help you much. You are probably best using IE, unless you have also damaged that.
*[[Export bookmarks to Internet Explorer]]
You should not use old versions they are insecure. Security fixes are publicised and exploitable.
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
* https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
Most others will not be having such problems. We are now able to say that with confidence because after developers missed a regression in Firefox 4 telemetry was introduced so that data was obtained. It may be an idea to turn on your telemetry, if you have not already done so, and decide to stick with Firefox.

Trying safe mode takes seconds. Unfortunatly if you are not willing to do even rudimentary troubleshooting there is not anything we can do to help you.

How to use functional global with a large amount of variables?

Hi all,
I'm currently developping a LV program which control and acquired data from a device. Up to now I used global variables ( very conveniente to use for experimental parameters). But now my program is become to be too large and I have too much "global" variables to continue to use a global.vi.
I'm wondering if functional global can help me. If someone has an exemple of how use functional global with a large amount of variables...
thanks

I agree with Ben.
Using queues is better than a number of Globals or Action Engines (Functional Globals). If you need to pass data to a sub-vi, you can simply wire the queue out to a queue control of a sub-vi, or a reference. See attached example of passing data to a sub-vi using a queue. The example is an extremely simple, undocumented tid-bit of code that sends the loop count to the consumer VI.
Run the main program called QueueProducer.vi.

We used to be able to sort by multiple columns/rows at once by right clicking on the header and choosing show more options-how do we do that in the new Numbers?

We used to be able to sort by multiple columns/rows at once by right clicking on the header and choosing show more options-how do we do that in the new Numbers? It doesn't appear anywhere. Do I now have to sort massive tables by each column one at a time now? Also there used to be an easier way to merge/unmerge cells without me having to go to the table menu each time. Am I missing something?

Multiple column sort is a missing feature in the new version. Hopefully soon to return. You can do a multicolumn sort by sorting one at a time in reverse order of importance.
For merging and unmerging cells, I select the cells and right click to bring up the contextual menu. Merge and unmerge are on the menu. You could also create keyboard shortcuts for Merge Cells and Unmerge Cells in the Table menu.

Firefox won't open a message tells me it is all ready running I need to close the window to open firefox. Firefox is not open so why do I get this message

When I try to open firefox a box opens up and tells me firefox is already running in another window and I need to close the window if I want to open firefox in a new window. Firefox is already closed, nothing is left open when I close out firefox. I would only have this problem once in a while but now it is happening more often why?

Open Task Manager and click on the Processes tab. Scroll down to "Firefox.exe" , click on that line and click on "End Process" button.

Some, possibly, but shouldn't be a problem.

Much of it is OSX and other things needed to run your Mac.
See The Storage Display for an explanation, and don't miss the link to Where did my Disk Space go?

Firefox used to ask if I wanted to save my tabs when I exited. Now it does not and it closes everything. I don't want it to do that. How can I get my tabs to remain open? So far I'm really sorry I downloaded this version. Yuck!

I think I found the refresh. What about keeping my tabs when I exit?

That was really helpful. Thanks.

Firefox does not appear in 'set program defaults panel in Win 7', running firefox 4.1

In Win 7 Pro (up to date) Associate protocol with a default program, Firefox is not an option, only IE.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced Section: General Tab. On the bottom there is System Defaults. Click Check Now to see if Firefox is the default browser. Click Yes on the pop up window.
Firefox is now back in the list for default programs and it your default browser again.

Why won't Firefox use the perfectly good Favourites folder already existing inWindows for the Bookmarks?

I am trying to compare different browsers to find a favourite. However I find it an unbearable nuisance that when I save a bookmark in Firefox I can't use it in IE9 or Chrome or any other browser.
This is a universal problem with browsers, they all make their own folders for bookmarks. Is there a good technical reason for this or is it only done to irritate the users.
There is a perfectly good Favourites folder installed by Windows. Why not use that one instead of clogging up the system with unnecessary extra folders.

1. There are a few services that will synchronize Firefox and IE bookmarks, along with some other browsers. <br />
Xmarks and CometMarks are two that I am aware of.
2. The PlainOld Favorites extension allows you to have Firefox use IE's bookmarks. <br />

Firefox uses too much cache when commenting in Facebook - 45MB when the text is only 1kB - why?

Firefox uses too much cache when commenting in Facebook. I wrote a comment up to 1000 characters and my PC crawled. I had to wait several times for the text to catch up with my typing. I cleared caches after entering my comment and it freed up 45MB of RAM from the firefox.exe process in Windows Task Manager. Why does Firefox use 45MB when the text is only 1kB?
Another time the firefox.exe process began at 88MB and went up to 250MB whilst writing a comment, reducing to 170MB afterwards. Firefox hogs the CPU too (I tried the CPU hogging tips but none was the solution to this), but the memory usage is the issue because the CPU would not be hogged if less data was being moved or cached.
I accept some slowness on an old 1.2GHz 512MB PC but the facebook issue is much worse than other sites.

Of course it is, but there isn't much we can do about it, isn't it? Therefore I suggested firefox3, to alleviate things a little (it does it for me). Flash doesn't even work at all for me in Opera, I only get a grey window where the video should be.
Bye, signor_rossi.
The newest version of flash Plugin only works with Opera 9.5 beta. If you want to use flash with the stable Opera find an older version of the flash plug in.
Thanks for the hint, will keep that in mind in the case I will switch to Opera again (used it for a while because Firefox2 scrolling was bad, with 3 it is much better). Besides, there is a new flash version in the repos.

Firefox uses too much CPU ff3.6.3 any HELP?

Firefox uses way too much CPU. Running MAC OSX and ff 3.6.3 using "activity monitor" shows Firefox uses typically 96% of my CPU !!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I noticed my computer was getting s- l -o w- e -r

Hello Kr.
This kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe-mode] to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins, themes or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their author for support.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version for free at [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
#update your modem/router software. There have been some reports that some modem/router software may cause Firefox and other browsers to loose performance and/or stability. If updating doesn't fix your issue, try other versions of the software, if possible. If you need support with this, contact your modem/router manufacturer. If this doesn't help, proceed;
#clean up your OS registry, using appropriate software. Make sure you've followed my instructions correctly, but if this all doesn't work, [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles create a new Firefox profile] (this can be temporary, of course) and see if the issues persist. Report here the results, so we can't help you further.

Why not use paper label on finished DVD project?

I also use printed paper labels for my DVD covers
why not use them?
please advise?

Hi
The DVD get's unbalanced = Laser can't read track
DVD are several times more sencitive than CD (not advicable to put lables on them either)
And DVDs/CDs that are unbalanced also give more strain to the player mechanism
that eventually stops working.

Why "Firefox is having trouble recovering windows and tabs" message

Why is this happening

hello, this may also be the current problem in firefox 20 that when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards it is mistaken for a crash - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.
as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

Why am I gettting this message EVERY time I open Firefox: Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opene

I read another comment that my Coby Kyros tablet can run Firefox OS beta. Unless I run the tablet in root mode, I can't access Google Play. Any other options?

My tablet is using Android 4.0. (ICS)
The Coby website for the MID9740 says it has an Allwinner Cortex™-A8 however that is misleading, as this is really an AllWinner A10, which is a cortex A8 ARM CPU.to be accurate) The Cortex A8 is based on the ARMv7 architecture. It also has 1GB RAM, and cpu is 1 GHz.
Out of the box,(and not rooted) it can't access the Google Play for FirefoxOS download. If I root it, I can download from Google. I'm not afraid to root my tablet, but I know many others' are. I had it rooted before using ClockworkMod, but decided to restore to factory.(similar to a routine bi-annual reformat with Windows and Linux on my desktop)
I was just wondering if AndroidPit or any other sites have the beta available to test out on my Kyros.
Could you please let me know? Thanks for your kind help, and have a great day!
Best regards always,
Todd in Oregon

You can't download Firefox OS from Google Play.
