29.0 is too slow and keeps coming back when using 28.0 Grrrrr!

29.0 was too jerky and too slow. I reinstated 28.0 and it was fine until 29 reinstalled on its own. I have checked about:config and everything everywhere was set to keep it from reverting back but it did anyway. Sorry to sound rude, but what gives? I've been dealing with this since it changed over. We should still be able to choose, right?

Hi Shirley,
If Firefox 29 is going slow, you can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Click the new 3 bar menu > Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
As for the updates, usually changing settings in about:config helps. Are you doing anything to make Firefox do an update such as going to Help > About Firefox? There was a previous way by going through the Options menu to disable updates but after disabling it through there, when you would go to Help > About Firefox, it would update regardless of that setting. There's a few ways to do this although I do all of them to prevent updates just in case one of the updates slip through.
You can set these prefs in <code>about:config</code> to disable automatic updating:<br>
app.update.auto - false<br>
app.update.enabled - false<br>
app.update.silent - false<br>
You can also follow our steps listed in our Knowledge Base
*https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-automatically-making-connections#w_auto-update-checking
You can set the app.update.url prefs to an empty string on the about:config page to prevent Firefox from checking for updates. (see screenshot below) Just erase everything from those prefs.

  • MS Project Very Slow and Project Files Large when Using Shared Resource Pool

    Hello,
    We are using MS Project 2010 Professional in our organization and using a shared resource pool so we can easily identify resource conflicts.  When we started this process many months ago the resource pool worked great.  Now that we have nearly
    all of our projects (~40) using the resource pool, it has become essentially unusable.  Each project file that is sharing the resource pool is 12 MB or greater in file size, and most of the project files contain less than 100 lines.  Saving any file
    takes ~4 minutes.  As a result, many of the resource managers and project managers are starting to avoid using MS Project which is undermining our original intent.
    Any thoughts on what we could try to regain the usability, make the file sizes smaller, improve save times, etc.?  Will MS Project Server fix all of these issues?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    If any of your PMs renamed, moved or over-wrote their project file whilst linked to the Resource Pool or a master, then the file may well have corrupted itself or the pool or both. With 40 files, you can guarantee one or more PMs will do one of the above,
    so file corruption is a when, not if (2days or 2 years or more).
    For 40 projects Project Server or any solution that copies data to a database so the resource data can be consolidated is needed. Project Server is not a simple application, it's a full server and requires proper training and processes to add value. And
    it needs configuring by someone who knows what they're doing!
    In the mean time try unattaching all project files from the pool, then create a new blank pool and re-attach.You will also need to File, Save as to repair each project file if needed. For bad corruption save as to a .xml format then re-import to a blank
    project.
    Or, create a new master each time by inserting all projects into a new blank project, but deselecting the Link option. All tasks are then copied and the resource data consolidated. Record a macro to make creating this very quick and easy (provided your network
    isn't too slow).

  • Emails keep coming back when deleted and marked as spam

    I've got iPhone and iPad, both upgraded to iOS 7.1.2
    I'm using several IMAP email accounts and on all of them I'm getting a very annoying problem.
    When I delete or mark as SPAM an email, then it keeps reappearIng in the Inbox.
    As far as I read on the Web, this is a well known and unsolved problem that many users experienced for the last 2-3 years.
    How the **** is possible that Apple is unable to fix this bloody bug?!?
    Did someone find a solution?
    Many thanks in advance

    Apple does not monitor these USER-TO-USER support forums
    All support comes from other users like you
    Usually when a post gets no response no one knows the answer, or there isn't enough information provided to make a guess, or the question has been asked and answered so frequently that a simple search would find the answer
    Insulting the people who volunteer their time to help other users is not a strategy that would encourage anyone to respond.

  • Plugin-container.exe keeps coming back and slowing my machine (ver.3.6.12)

    This problem occurred in earlier editions and I would have thought that it should have been solved by now.
    My computer goes to 100% usage and stay there until I go into my Windows Task Manager and stop the process: plugin-container.exe . I understand this was put in to stop crashes by Flash Player??? Well , it seems that they have decided to throw the baby out with the wash water. I stop the process but it keeps coming back.
    Is there some similar program like Flashplayer that works and that we can use?
    What happens if we can really get rid of it permanently?
    How can we really get rid of it permanently?
    If you send me instructions make sure that my ten-year old can understand it.
    Thanks, in advance.

    ok I've just had to fix this myself so can confirm it works :)
    open a new tab in mozilla and enter '''about:config''' in the address bar and hit enter.
    It will say ''''here be dragons'''' click ''''I'll be careful I promise''''.
    In the filter field enter '''dom.ipc'''
    You will see a list of preference names, click on the value to toggle (change settings)
    These are the settings you want.
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled ''' true'''
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll '''false'''
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll '''false'''
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll '''false'''
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nptest.dll '''true'''
    dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs 45
    Restart firefox and then check Task Manager... plugin-container has disappeared, Mozilla is fast again, your RAM is no longer being hogged... happy days :)
    Enjoy

  • I am trying to set up iCloud and it keeps coming back and saying "This apple ID's email address cannot be Verified. It is my main iTunes address and password. What is wrong?

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up iCloud on my various devices. When I log in with my iTunes (Apple id) it keeps coming back and stating
    "Verify your account. This Apple ID's email address cannot be verified. Change your apple ids email address at appleid.apple.com to sig into i cloud"
    My apple id has been alive and in use for years on iTunes etc. I have tried a different address and password and still get the same result
    Help???
    Regards
    Brian

    If your email address is valid, just go to https://appleid.apple.com/, click "Manage your account" to the right,sign in, click  Name, ID, and Email Addresses to the left, then click "Verify now" next to your email address.  Apple will send you an email to this address with a verification link.  Otherwise add an alternate email address that can be verified.

    And your comments indicate that you may not understand iPhoto at all - you should not be inside the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it - and iPhoto does not duplicate photos  - more details of yoru work flow would help sort this out

  • I have tow itunes libraries.  Music from one library has merged with the other and I can not delete the songs.  They keep coming back.

    I have two ipod touch libraries under my account.  One for my daughter and one for me.  I bought my daughter an Iphone and then opened her ipod touch libraryon the computer (Windows Vista).  I plugged in her iphone so that she can have the stuff from her ipod touch on her new phone.  Somehow her library has partially merged with my library.  My ipod touch now has some of HER games and music on it.  I went into my library and deleted these games and songs, but they keep coming back.  How do I get rid of these once and for all.  I don't want to be shuffling AC/DC, Rob Zombie, and then get Justin Bieber all of a sudden while sitting at a red light in traffic.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • I added a persona, I've disabled and removed that persona, it keeps coming back. Going into tools does not help, adding a new persona does not help. I'm ready to give up on firefox!

    I added a persona, wanted a new one so disabled and removed the old one. I added a new persona, but the old one keeps coming back. Going into tools/add ons does no good because it is not even listed anymore but keeps coming back. I've shut down/restarted, I've searched for answers to this problem.

    The data that specifies which persona to display is stored as a pref in the prefs.js file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Did you try to rename or move the prefs.js file and a possible user.js file to see if that helps?
    Are you using the Personas Plus extension, because in that case you need to check the settings in that extension.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • I have an older I-Pad and have daily recurring spam.  Always the same and some going back to January. I delete them every day and they delete them in the trash folder but they keep coming back.  How do I get rid of them ?

    I have an older I-pad and have recurring spam. How do I stop it ???  I delete it every day and then delete the trash folder but it keeps coming back.  Thanks.

    For those kind of mails, unsubscribing doesn't work. they're breaking the law trying to scam you, they're not going to respect unsubscribe. Unsubscribe only works with real companies. Such as unsubscribing from Gap company mail etc. Spammers can actually use the 'unsubscribe' as a confirmation 'hey, there's a real person here, hit em hard'
    I'm not really familiar with g-mail, but most mail programs have filters you can set up, such as telling it 'everything with dating in the title, send to the trash' etc.
    You can do some research on that or have someone help you with some hands on help.
    If that e-mail has ever been used for e-greeting cards, or given to enter contests, etc, your address is out there. You will never get rid of it totally.
    If it's really, really bad, sometimes what you have to do is abandon the address and get a new one and only give it out to people you want to contact you. Don't  enter it on websites, or use e-cards or things like that that are spam collection mechanisms.

    Okay, folks, after a 3 1/2 hour phone call with a (very patient) telephone support person at Blackberry, here's what I learned.
    You can check your USB drivers this way:
    Plug in your phone into your USB drive. Assuming your Blackberry is "seen" by your computer...
    Go into the Device Manager on your computer (control panel)
    Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers item on the bottom of the list
    Right-click on BlackBerry Smartphone and choose Properties
    Click on the Driver tab
    Click on the Driver Details button
    You should see one driver. I saw two. The one the BlackBerry likes is the RimUsb one.
    So here's what NOT to do: We tossed the entire driver that was the "extra". This effectively made using my mouse and keyboard impossible, as they are USB, and sent my poor husband into the basement to find a million-year-old keyboard (and then a mouse) with the old fashioned kind of connectors (PS2). Bleh. Don't do that.
    Here's what I did that worked (not saything this will work for you -- this modifies the Registry so better do a system backup with that backup and restore if you're nervous about this sort of thing):
    From the start menu, choose run, and type regedit to get into the Registry editor.
    Follow this file path: Computer, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, Class
    Click on: {36FCE60-C465-11CF-8056-4445535400000}
    If there's an item on the right called "UpperFilters", delete it. (see pictures)
    Hope this helps someone.

  • HT1338 I need to update to Lion and then Mountain Lion, but I need a CD or other means to update as my internet is too slow and I have a GB limit. Is this possible?

    I need to update to Lion and then Mountain Lion, but I need a CD or other means to update as my internet is too slow and I have a GB limit. Is this possible?

    Thanks for your response. I was told, obviously misinformed, that you needed to dl Lion prior to Mountain Lion, so thanks for clarifying that. I cannot dl from the internet as it is too slow and I have limited GB per month. I know, at one point, you could purchase a jumpdrive with Lion for those of us who have this problem or no internet access. I will check into that via Apple or try to borrow internet service from a friend and move my computer there.
    Thanks again.
