Wont close properly after using google & wont open again without using taskmanager

after the last firefox update if I use google a few times firefox doesnt close properly & wont restart unless I either reboot the machine or go into taskmanager & close it down there. It then re-opens correctly but with the last google pages displayed (even if they've been closed down before I attempted to close firefox)
I'm not the only person with this problem I know of at least one other.

I have the same problem. If I open a google site, the browser no longer responds and the process must be stopped in task manager.
This problem occurs on all google websites. For example mail.google.com, google.com and reader.google.ch.
OS: Windows 7 // Firefox: Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 and 8 // Language: German

  • Firefox wont close properly after a while. Buttons dont work.

    I'm having a problem with Firefox recently. Everytime I open Firefox and leave it open for more than 5 minutes the program wont close properly. The red X/minimize buttons stop working. I can close tabs though.
    There are two ways for me exit firefox when this happens
    1: Clciking file--> exit
    2: opening the Taskmanager and stopping Firefox.
    Anyone got any idead on what's causing this? Plugin clash? What's the best way to figure it out if it is?

    Nah, It's not really a hang, as such. I can keep surfing away for hours with this problem. It only is a problem once I open a menu like the preferences window/addons window or go to close Firefox. If I close Firefox by using the File-->exit method with multiple tabs open it asks me if I want to Save and quit, quit or cancel. It then wont let chose from those. the menu icons highlight but my mouse click doesn't register and wont let me select anything.

  • Create database table using Forms Developer 6/6i without using SQL*Plus

    hello there,
    I need help in creating tables in Oracle using Forms Developer 6/6i without using SQL*Plus interface.
    your help is appreciated
    email: [email protected]

    please use Forms_ddl package to create a table dynamically
    from the Developer6/6i.
    you can check the success or failure by using the
    form_success builtin.
    if u want to avoid using the Forms_ddl package
    use stored procedure or create a sql querry record group.
    regards

  • When "Use Google Instant", "Open search results in a new browser window." does not function.

    In the "Google Search Setting", if select "Do not use Google Instant", then the selected search result of Google Search will be displayed in a new window, but if "Use Google Instant", the selected result will replace Google Search window. This problem does not exist when using Chrome Browser.

    That does what it says - even if Google tells the browser to open the page in a new window, you have told Firefox to ignore that and open it in a new tab. Uncheck the box and you should get the result you want.

  • Image won't open after right click and "open with" command using Editor PSE 10

    Can't see image after right click and "open with" Windows XP command using Editor PSE 10. The editor opens but no image appears. I have to use the open command from within Editor

      Make sure you have chosen the application PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and not a shortcut.
    To manually associate a file format with an application:
    In Windows Explorer, right-click a file whose file association you want to change. For example, if you want to change the file association for all jpeg files, click a jpeg file.
    Choose Open With > Choose Program from the pop-up menu.
    In the Open With dialog box, click Browse and then locate and select the exe application file.
    Checkmark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
    Note:If you choose a program from the Open With menu in step 2, instead of selecting the Choose Program option, this check box is not available, and the file association won't work.

  • Once I close iTunes I cannot open again without rebooting

    running win 7 pro x64 and new version of iTunes.  Once I close Itunes it will not reopen again without rebooting my system

    Has nothing to do with 5.5.
    I see this occasionally, and it's faster to go to Task Manager and open the Processes tab, then find InDesign.exe, right click and End Process Tree.

  • Has search using google been replaced by search using websearch?

    When i highlight some text and right click, the option to search using google has been replaced by a option to search using "WebSearch". Is this a recent firefox change?

    You can check the home page setting.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols.
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

  • Database Data Security: both from within (using MIMEbase64 encoding) and from without (using encryption).

    In my MDB file databases (Jet 4.x format) I turn on both compression and encryption.  This gives me data security from without, meaning, I can't open a MDB file in a Word Processing software (or otherwise) and read the data in a humanly recognized
    format.   But I am also using MIMEbase64 encoding of my stored data so that the data is humanly unreadable from within - meaning that anyone performing an SQL query will not be able to humanly read the data in my database.  I do the decoding
    (from MIMEbase64) within my end-user software interfaces to the databases. 
    I found out just recently (last few months) that I can do this from Win32 Perl, so I encorporated this feature into my Perl database applications.   Only thing is that MIMEbase64 increases the size of the data stored.
    Is there a better encoding strategy available today which might actually compress the data a little?    

     INSTRUCTIONS FOR SECURE/CUSTOM (non-formula based) TEXTFILE ENCODING (should be undecipherable w/o mappings file):
    by Eric C. Hansen. You may freely use these encoding instructions, and the code I have provided, but please
    acknowledge me as the author where credit is due - such as in a publication. And do not try to sell it.
    However, any code I have provided you may freely use in any programs you write to be sold for your own profit,
    except you may not attempt to sell this encoding scheme (or my code provided), as a generic encoding tool, for
    general use, to be marketed as a turn-key custom encoding solution. 
    (1) Create a unique code list 
          Using the characters:  A-Z a-z 0-9 only. That's 62 characters only.  
           62 (1 char codes) + 3844 (2 char codes) + 238,328 (3 char codes) = 242,234 total codes
                     62x1         +      62x62         +       62x62x62    
           REMINDS ME of my college Genetics course i.e. dominant/recessive trait inheritance tables  
           EXAMPLE CODES:  a, k, 3c, A4, xy1, H8j
    (2) Create a unique word(+punc) list from your textfile which is to be encoded. You know how to do this.
           Example of 9 words(+punc) found between whitespace within a textfile input line:
                "Hello", this is Mr. Bell-va-deer. My number is 999-342-8998.   
                    1       2    3   4       5              6      7       8       9
     PERL code for STEPS 3-7 is provided below. Code for STEP 1 above was previously provided. 
             You should have little trouble writing the textfile encode/decode logic yourself.  
    (3) Read your list of unique codes into an array.
    (4) Read your list of unique words(+punc) into another array.
         LOOP   #-- 0 to number of elements in words array
                (5)     select a random code and a random word(+punc) from the 2 arrays.
                (6)     now remove that code and that word(+punc) from each array using "splice".
                (7)     then save them as key/val pairs to persistent Perl SDBM database files ("mappings").  
         END LOOP
     (8) Once you have your persistent, random code/word mappings, you can convert your textfile
          to an encoded textfile. Read in one line at a time from your textfile (chomp), parse the words(+punc.)
         between whitespace within that line, then for each word(+punc) parsed, perform
         the word-to-code mapping conversions by doing a lookup within the Perl SDBM database
         file of key/val pairs, where KEY=word and VAL=code. You will then need to 
         concatenate these codes (space delimited) to your outputline, in the same order as found in your
         inputline, finally writing the outputline (newline "\n" terminated) to your new encoded textfile.    
    (9) Keep your persistent Perl SDBM database file ("mappings") in SAFE KEEPING, with a naming
         convention of your choice that perhaps hides any relationship to the name of
         your encoded text document - which it specifically pertains to. But keep a record of that joint
        relationship somewhere.  Keep a copy of both the original textfile and the encoded textfile,
        or perhaps you'd like to keep just the encoded textfile?, and not the original?  You can always decode it. 
    (10) Send your encoded text document via email as an attachment, to the recipient of your choice.
    (11) Upload your persistent Perl SDBM database "mappings" file to your secure login FTP download site. 
         NOTE:  If your encoded text document is very large, you may want to reverse 10 & 11, putting the encoded file
             on the FTP site, and sending the Perl SDBM database file ("mappings") as the email attachment.
    (12) Call your recipient to see if they have received the encoded textfile, email attachment.
         Let them know that the "mappings" file is uploaded for them to download from the FTP site.
        You can have a LINGO you both use/know on the phone, to secretly convey this message, if you like,
          to avoid possible interception of this sensitive information.
         Recipient will then take the encoded textfile email attachment, the FTP downloaded "mappings" file,
        and place them both in a directory on their PC where the Perl decoding program is located which you
         had previously sent them to handle all the decoding anytime you send them an encoded textfile + "mappings".
         Recipient will run the Perl decoding utility program to create the original textfile.

  • Can I use iWork '09 on Lion without using new Lion features?

    I do not wish to use the new features in Lion, primarily autosave, with iWork, at least initially.  In other words have iWork act as it would in S.L.   However, I need to purchase iWork in order to continue using a bunch of Appleworks spreadsheets.  I am using a new MBP with OS 10.7.1.  My plan is to purchase the hard copy iWork '09 from the Apple Store (the AppStore download versions have already been updated).  This CD should be some version of 9.0 as they have not put 9.1 on the CD.  My idea is to just not let the modules (Numbers, Pages, etc.) get updated until I am ready.  My question is -- will Numbers and Pages work properly on Lion without using the final update to the new Lion Features, and which updates to Numbers and Pages should I avoid?
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Using toshiba canvio hard drive without using time machine

    Has anyone used the Toshiba Canvio external hard drive to save files to without using time machine?  I want to move files off of my computer onto the external drive not just duplicate all the files on my computer as a backup.

    I guess the external drive is hanging off the Mac..
    Getting access to the drive from PC should be possible.. you may need to move public directory onto the external drive and then set up permissions to do it.. I have not done it and simply would not do it.
    External hdd are cheap enough buy one for the pc.. That is then formatted NTFS which windows is going to natively read.. this will be much easier if the backups are ever required than to use HFS+ formatted disk hanging off the Mac.
    You can also get your dead TC fixed.

  • Use HCM processes and Forms without using the Enterprise Portal

    is it possible to leverage existing HR Admin Services (HCM processes and Forms) functionality without using the Enterprise Portal?
    1) Create an Adobe form and Interface using SFP
    2) Set up ISR and Form Scenario
    3) Set up Forms configuration to use existing Backend and generic Services
    4) Set up workflow to updated Backend using Services
    is it possible to do the above steps and not use the Portal? If Yes, how do we present the forms to the Manager, and provide different buttons that appears on the Portal by default?
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Saurabh

    Hi Saurabh,
    your assumptions and findings (items can not be started from the backend workflow inbox etc.) are correct: These processes can not be started without the Portal and it is not intended to do this.
    The above mentioned backend report are only forseen for implementation and testing purposes and not for productive use.
    In addition to the fact, that you already can't execute the work items a lot of other features of the framework (Process Browser etc.) are only available through the Portal.

  • Using Refcursor in Callable Statement without using the Oracle Drivers

    Hello all,
    Is there anyway to have a stored procedure (Oracle 8i) return a refcursor to my CallableStatement without using the Oracle Thin drivers (i'm now using jdbcodbc). I've tried registering my out parameter with every possible type i can think of...REF, JAVA_OBJECT, OTHER, etc. but with no luck.
    Help!!!!

    Certainly...I connect to the database using the
    jdbcodbc driver and when i execute any of the code, i
    get the following error:
    java.sql.SQLException: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-06550:
    line 1, column 7:
    PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call
    to 'PVISUAL_GET'
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignored
    It's bombing on the line that i attempt to register
    OracleTypes.CURSOR. It works fine when i use the
    oracle thin drivers, but i want to get this puppy
    working with the JdbcOdbcDriver. Here's the code:
    CallableStatement dbCall =
    nt dbCall =
    (CallableStatement)connection.prepareCall("{ call
    PAK_VISUAL_GET.pvisual_get(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) }");
    dbCall.setString(1, sessionKey);
    dbCall.setInt(2,
    l.setInt(2, Integer.parseInt(storedVizID));
    dbCall.registerOutParameter(3,
    arameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
    dbCall.registerOutParameter(4,
    arameter(4, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
    dbCall.registerOutParameter(5,
    arameter(5, OracleTypes.VARCHAR);
    dbCall.registerOutParameter(6,
    arameter(6, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
    dbCall.execute();when you don't use oracle thin driver, you cannot use the OracleTypes. but, instead use the java.sql.Types values.Replace dbCall.registerOutParameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR); with
    dbCall.registerOutParameter(3,java.sql.Types.OTHER). things should be fine.
