Why is there always "0 bytes" in Cache in Control Panel? It never increases, yet the stored data size continues to increase.

This is annoying. I just updated to version 19 almost a week ago and still Firefox never seeks to keep anything in "Cache". After using firefox for a few days, it crashed a couple times already and now the browser randomly freezes (to the point to where my screen on/off button wont even respond). After maybe a few seconds...things will start moving, but sluggish to where I have to shut down FF in my task manager. There us "0" bytes cache shown, but stored data is at 70MB. I went into firefox and cleared cache via the settings but that did nothing. There is still 70MB of stored data and of course it alwats shows 0 bytes cache. What's up with that? Am I going to have to "Clear Data" just to fix this and lose my bookmarks and logins tet again?

I think it's possible that Firefox, while emptying some database files, is not compacting them, so they continue to consume the same amount of "disk" space as they did before. On desktop versions of Firefox, you can use extensions such as the following for that purpose, but I don't know whether any such thing is available for mobile. Also, it would be nice to have it built in.

Unfortunately, in a quick search, I do not see a general purpose Android SQLite app that will runs on Firefox profile databases without root access (unless they are on the SD card, which seems highly doubtful).

  • Why won't my pandora work when I'm not on wifi? I have the cellular data on for it but I never works. Also pandora isn't the only app of mine that does that.. What's wrong with it??

    You're welcome.
    Voicemail is left at your carrier's server. That will continue to work unless you report your iPhone as lost or stolen with your carrier.
    You may never find it again and you can't if the iPhone remains offline or out of service which means the iPhone is powered off or doesn't have cellular reception.

  • Why is there only read(byte[]) & not read(int[])

    I'm trying to read large raw images using the RandomAccessFile. Different images are of different types, some are uInt8, some are int8, some are int16, uInt16, float, etc. The only way I know to read them fast enough is by reading an array of bytes, and then putting the bits together into a new array of the desired type, e.g. shifting and adding to the bytes.
    I'm sure there's a clever way to read different types really fast... How?

    Well... Is there any possabilities to create a new
    int[] array that is "pointing" at the same memory
    allocation as the byte[], just as you can do in C or
    other languages with pointers?
    Nope, Java is type safe.
    It would be easy if I could make the compiler
    interpret the byte[] as an int[]... Suggestions?
    Create a java.io.DataInputStream to read from a java.io.ByteArrayInputStream that reads from your byte[] is one option:ByteArrayInputStream byteStream = ByteArrayInputStream(anArrayOfBytes);
    DataInputStream integerStream = new DataInputStream(byteStream);
    int firstInt = integerStream.readInt();
    ...If you need random access to an int array maybe you need to create the array first and the read ints to it...

  • Why are there always 180 Free Apps when I choose "See All"?

    Surely new apps are added daily. Why are there never more than 180? Are there more, but I just don't know how to find them? I feel like I'm missing something here. (BTW - The same question applies to Paid Apps.)

    Well, no one really seems to have the answer to the essential question:
    "Are there only 180 apps in a category and is it going to stay that way? If there are more, where the heck are they?"
    I can't believe that 180 is the limit and we won't be seeing any more!

  • Why is Photostream grayed out, not available, in iCloud Control Panel?

    I have uninstalled iCloud Control Panel, rebooted, reinstalled, several times. Always the same result.

    I am beyond sick of this problem!!!  Spent nearly a whole day last week uninstalling, reinstalling, settings, more settings, closing down, opening up yadiyadiya..........Thought Id sorted it - well for one day!!  And here we go again!!!!  As soon as I find an alternative method of posting photos I will discard icloud completely.  Apple help is no help.  I dont want to read any more notes, fixes, information which isnt effective or which Ive already tried.  Its clearly a total sytem failure and I for one am sick of it!!!

  • Why is there always the text of an old message in the text box every time I go to write a new message?

    For the last three days, when I go to write a new text/iMessage, there is the text of a message I sent recently in the text box. I've tried everything to get rid of it, but nothing seems to work... each time I go to write a new message, there's the same old text again. does anyone know why this is happening - and what I can do to erase it and get back to a good old blank text box? Thanks for your help!

    If the login box keeps popping up either your acct is disabled or you are mistyping your pw.  
    Go here and try out your pw and reset if necessary:

  • Why is there always 1.5 gb of "wired" ram on my new MPB (2012)

    I recently upgraded (after a faulty computer) my macbook pro to a 2012 model 2.3ghtz core I7 4gm ram 500gb hdd 15 inch, from a 2.5 core 2 duo 4gb ram 500gb hdd late 2010 model. after transfereing my documents, ive noticed there is always (even after restart) 1.5gb of wired ram, leaving me little to play with. The number varies from about 1.4- 1.6gb .  Any suggestions?
    Here is a screenshot from an app called memory cleaner, which fails to fix the problem.
    ive used about 1/2 my HDD space, and at the time of this screenshot was using 2 tabs of safari, (one being this and the other facebook) and iTunes.
    Cheers

    Exactly what is the problem you perceive?
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • Why is there always an extra tab in Firefox? Even if I try to close it, it reopen automaticly. Please help!

    No matter what, whenever I open Firefox, an extra tab opens up. I've tried countless times to close it but it always reopens! It is very annoying. The tab is always google.com. I've tried everything, please help!!

    You may have set the home page to a website that opens in the sidebar or have set multiple home pages.
    Opening in the sidebar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the sidebar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />

  • Why is there always a problem?

    This is more of a criticism than a bug report. It seems that whenever I run Firefox, there is an issue. I can't tell you how many computers I've been to where:
    * Firefox complains that it is out of date.
    I get it, updating software is hard, but don't burden me with the issue. Updates should be quiet and seemless.
    * Firefox needs to inform me about my rights.
    99.9999999999% of users don't know or care about this.
    * Firefox is unhappy that it's not my default browser.
    * Firefox babies the user when downloading extensions.
    Adding a 3 second timer to your install button doesn't make the user choose safer decisions. It just makes me impatient. What's the justification for this delay? Do you have proof that you've curbed malicious behavior?
    I just want to run Firefox and not be burdened with all of this. Don't bother me with updates, don't treat me like a baby, just get out of the way so I can get to work.
    Thank you.

    Amen to that.
    The people making Firefox must be a big fan of the nanny state. They seem to think they know better than you do about what's good for you.

  • Why is there a difference of 17GB in storage remaining between 'about this mac' and the hdd in finder?

    I am running Mavericks on my macbook air. I had approx 17gb of movies which I transfered to my external drive and then deleted them. When i checked my storage space in 'about my mac' it says i have 17.5gb remainin which should read around 35gb. When i open up finder and click the 'i' tab on my hdd it says there is 35gb remaining which is as it should be. Please help, it's doing my head in. I never had any dramas running mountain lion!

    If you have Time Machine turned on, the difference could be the Local Backups the system is storing temporarily until you sync to your Time Machine backup drive. Sice those files are "low priority" and will be overwritten by the user if required, the Finder does not acknowledge them as "used". However, the profiler will count them as used.
    See if syncing yoru Time Machine "resets" for the one showing less space available.

  • Why is my Photos button grayed out on iCloud control panel - PC

    I cannot photo share between my PC, windows 7, and my ipad. I have icloud 3.1 and have gone through the trouble shooting steps. None of which mention what to do if the entire Photos box; including the check box, Photos title and icon and the options box are grayed out and unavailable to check or click on. I have plenty of storage, 14 GB available and my iphone and ipad share correctly. Also my contacts, calenders and tasks as well as bookmarks are working corrently.
    Please help!

    yes, same here.
    i've replied to another thread with this issue, too. other people over there complain about it as well.
    wifi signal won't turn on on iphone4s.
    i have the same problem, but noone from apple has responded so far or adressed this.
    i guess all you can do right now is wait for the next update, which should come in a few days.
    it's REALLY frustrating...!

  • Is there any way to not wait for a subVI to output so that the background loop can continue (until the output exists)?

    hello everyone,
    I am in a loop but want to modify an element in that loop. This modification takes time, but i cannot have the loop stop while it is being changed or else the buffer overflows and crashes the computer.
    Is there any way to make the output null until the subVI finishes and actually gives the desired output? This way the loop could continue until the subVI's output is ready.

    Inside the subVI, you can set a condition, for example, if data is not given, set the output to some kind of value (NaN is good for numeric), if data is present, just take it out. But be sure the subVI has no loop to get data, but check data only once. If you need a loop to get data, you'll have to put it in paralell with the main loop.
    Hope this helps
