3.6.12 hangs, can't restart until you end process in Task Manager on Vista machine
Can use program normally but at sometimes the program hangs. No error msg. May be that it has been open for a long period of time but usually program cannot be restarted after closing unless firefox.exe process is closed with Task Manager. After that it is usually ok for a while.

Just hangs until i kill process with task manager. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Any suggestions? I don't want to upgrade to CC as I hate subscription services and often have internet connection services interuppted.
Which operating system are you using?
Resetting the photoshop preferences might cure the problem.
Press and hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys down just after starting the launch of photoshop 7
(Shift-Command-Option on a mac)
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes -
Hi,
As I say in the question I don't know what happened but Firefox just stopped operating and then became erratic. So I removed the firefox programme from my computer and reloaded Firefox.
It now runs normally but I can't run Firefox on two tabs, only one, and if I close it down during a session I can't reopen it using the desk top icon. I go to task manager, processes, and end process for Firefox - then I can start it using the icon on the desktop.
I have also noticed that some links on a web page won't work - javascript is involved.
Thanks for your herlp,
Mike FDIt sounds like you are getting in a hurry.
If you force Firefox to close in a hurry, then it won't normally start until you re-start the computer. There are ways around this, but I'm not going to go into them right now.
None-force way to close Firefox down: Close the program and wait. Do something else. Firefox appears as if it is closed, but it's not. Firefox cleans out cookies and it's cache after you close it. That takes a few minutes. You can't restart it while it's doing house cleaning.
After it is done, then you can restart Firefox normally. You can watch it in the Task Manager.
The same applies if you are installing javascript. You have to wait a few minutes.
As for running it with multiple tabs, I usually have 5 or 6, or more, tabs open at a time. Have no idea what the problem is there. Firefox needs special permission by use of a pop-up option to close with multiple tabs open. -
When receiving an call waiting can't push the hold and answer button.Because: it will put on hold the first caller, answer to the second, but you can't hear the second until you end the first call !!! Anyone has the same problem ? Did anyone know why ?

Lightroom 4.2 Win 7 64-bit -have to kill process in Task Manager every time or can't launch
Lightroom 4.2 Win 7 64-bit -have to kill process in Task Manager every time or can't launch Lightroom. This seems like a bug? Any suggestions?
Does sound like a bug. Consider reporting to Adobe:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/new
In the mean time, I only have workarounds like start using a batch file.
Something is hanging it up upon exit, but I dont know what. Maybe a device or process/service? - did you try removing non-essentials? Check windows logs?

After shutdown iMac won't restart until you unplug & wait 10 minutes
So I have an iMac G5 20" iSight, works perfectly, just one small problem. When you shut it down, you cant turn it back on until you unplug (the power cord) and wait 10 or so minutes, once you do that and plug it back in, it works great. as you probably can guess, when I have to restart for update its annoying. Any ideas? I have tried to reset the SMU by unplugging it plugging it back in and hold the power button, release and press the power button once. This doesn't seem to help. I have also checked my serial number for bad capacitor problem, but my model isn't affected. Thanks in advance.
Dear Miriam,
I just had a look at jimwarholic and it seems that my serial number is one of these;
"Which iMac G5 computers are affected by the iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues?
The program is available for certain first generation iMac G5 models that were sold between approximately September 2004 and June 2005 featuring 17- and 20-inch displays with 1.6GHz and 1.8GHz G5 processors.
The affected iMac G5 computers have serial numbers where the first 5 digits fall into the ranges noted below.
Serial Number ranges:
W8435xxxxxx - W8522xxxxxx ----- that's mine!!
QP435xxxxxx - QP522xxxxxx
CK435xxxxxx - CK522xxxxxx
YD435xxxxxx - YD522xxxxxx"
Is this really bad news? my friend Dave bought the computer (2004 I think) and then sold it to me because it was driving him mad, (he took it to apple and they told him "it was the video card on the motherboard -and to fix it would cost £500)
I was hoping either they were lying or that they hadn't looked/diagnosed properly, but now I'm really not sure
I would be most grateful of any advice/help
thanks

After I downloaded the Firefox update, when I tried to open Firefox I got the error message: "Warning unresponsive script...etc". This happens every time and the choices in the message ("continue" etc) are unresponsive. Further I can't delete the error window without going to Task Manager to end the program. The problem also disabled Internet Explorer which will now simply not load. Google Chrome is working. I assume it relates to the update since the problems (for both Firefox and IE) occurred immediately after the download.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -
So one day when I opened my mozilla firefox Ive got the "Firefox is already running but not responding.To open a new window,you must first close the existing firefox process,or restart your system."
So I checked my task manager but there is no process,I then checked hours in the internet to find a solution.Yes,I also checked for solutions in this site.Then,I try uninstalling and restarting,it also didn't work,Next I also tried downloading profilemanager and tried to run it but as unlucky as I can be,it also didn't work. Please help :(The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Problem is on a Dell Studio XPS desktop with the i7 processor. Current version used is 3.6.13, although the problem occurred with previous version, and only occurs intermittently. Does not seem to be time related. Sometimes, though not always, there will be two copies of Firefox open in the Task Manager "processes". When I close Firefox, and reload, runs fine until the next time.

HT1923 I can't uninstall iTunes from the control panel on a Windows Vista machine. .
I need to uninstall iTunes so I can upgrade my Windows Vista machine to Windows 7 Home Premium. When I try to uninstall it tells me I can't because I don't have administrator privleges. I am the only user account on the machine and I have full administrator priveleges. Any idea how I can get iTunes to uninstall?

How can I localize the text of process names, task names and user actions within a process?
I'm very interested in using the capabilities of Adobe LiveCycle Process Management for my project, however I have one rather large concern... I hope someone here can tell me whether there's a way to address it.
Since I work for the Government of Canada, I have to meet certain requirements relating to bilingualism of the user interface. It's my understanding that the Workspace portion of LiveCycle has already has support for French.
But what about the design of my processes? How can I display text to a user in the language of their choice when they're interacting with my processes? ... in particular, I'm thinking about the process name, task names, and user actions.
I hope that this is possible without too much pain. I imagine this must be a pretty common requirement!
Thanks in advance to all who respond.You can completely change the content of whole pdf by using "renderPDFForm" operation under service "FormsService". in this operation there is Template category where you can set the Locale.
And if you need to change the other workspace options like Complete, Save as Draft , you can then import workspace ui project and then change apppropriate values.
Thanks,

Firefox is running in the background, but the process can't be ended using the task manager?
The program wouldn't open because it was apparently still running in the background, so I restarted a few times which didn't help. Then I tried using the task manager to end the process but that didn't work either. Then opened the command prompt and used taskkill, then pskill (using the PID number) but neither worked. The problem wasn't with how I was using these commands as they could close any other program I had running, just not firefox.exe*32. Any ideas?

PowerBook G4 freezes, can't restart until it cools down
I have had a problem in the past week with my PowerBook. After using the computer for a while, the machine will freeze (cursor doesn't respond to trackpad action). Can't force quit applications or do anything that is related to keyboard input. The only thing I can do is shutdown by holding the power button for a couple of seconds. After this, if I try to restart, the machine starts with the chime sound and the fan starts, but the display is off and nothing happens after that. Tried safe boot ( pressing shift) and it still doesn't work. Tried reseting PMU (Shift-Control-Option-Power) and it's still the same. Tried booting from CD (pressing C) and nothing happens. Only after an hour of so of the machine being off, can I power it up.
Anybody has any insight on what could be happening?
Thanks in advance for any response.Sounds like the power manager is overheating, or there is bad RAM, or something hardware wise that is causing the circuitry to overheat. Make sure you are following these tips for heat:

This happens during almost every session I am online with Firefox on this computer alone. I have been using FF for years without issue.
Way too complicated to solve the problem of "firefox is already running ....etc." and there must be a more simple solution to this problem which occurs once in awhile.
It seems to me that Mozilla developers can find a better solution and one that allows control-alternate-delete to fix the problem.
Otherwise, it is just resort to the old reboot solution.
