After multiple reboots, FF will start hanging and require re-install

I have a really strange issue. All of a sudden, FF started responding VERY slowly. Not completely hanging, but taking upwards of 3-4 minutes to start up, and then every action is another 3-4 minutes.
I uninstalled and re-installed, which appeared to fix the issue. However, after rebooting a few times the issue appears to resurface, requiring another uninstall/re-install cycle.
Has anyone else had similar issues? Any resolution?

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • ITunes has stopped allowing me to import CDs. if I reboot it will import one, and only one. all was working fine before. the itunes diagnostics have all green lights

    iTunes has stopped allowing me to import CDs. if I reboot it will import one, and only one. all was working fine before. the itunes diagnostics have all green lights

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • After delivery what postings will be happen and PGI also?

    Hi All
    after delivery what postings will be happen and PGI also?
    thanking you
    Sarvesh

    Hi,
    When you create the delivery, the open order quantity is reduced and the status of line item gets updated as either partial, complete. The document flow is updated with corresponding delivery.
    When you post goods issue for an outbound delivery, the following functions are carried out on the basis of the goods issue document:
    Warehouse stock of the material is reduced by the delivery quantity
    Value changes are posted to the balance sheet account in inventory accounting
    Requirements are reduced by the delivery quantity
    The serial number status is updated
    Goods issue posting is automatically recorded in the document flow
    Stock determination is executed for the vendor's consignment stock
    A worklist for the proof of delivery is generated
    After goods issue is posted for an outbound delivery, the scope for changing the delivery document becomes very limited. This prevents there being any discrepancies between the goods issue document and the outbound delivery.
    Hope it helps. Please reward if useful.
    Thanks & Regards

  • When installing Acrobat Pro 11 on Windows 7 32 bit, it just hangs and won't install

    When installing Acrobat Pro 11 on Windows 7 32 bit, it takes you through all the way to install, then it just hangs and won't install. 

    Hi mrmacnology,
    Please check and ensure that you should not have any prior version of Acrobat already installed on your computer.
    Do you get any specific error message?
    You might try installing Acrobat from a different browser.

  • Installed FF. 8.1 and after reboot, tryed to start FF and got message "Could not load XRE functions.

    I have been running I believe FF 6.3. I was getting nag popups to update FF. I went to help and used the selection there to up date. In doing so (more than once tryed this method) it would download and install like a usual update untill compleation. Then it would say Could not compleat update or Could not restart firefox because and instance is running. Close FF and try again. But there was no visiable FF running not even in Device Manager.
    I will mention here that I did install Skype last week and have seen a couple of messages concerning Skype not loading on start up but seeing it running in the tool bar if this may have anything to do with it.
    So looking for help at the FF site I saw recomended to DownLoad and install FF 8.1 so I did that. Then from Control Panel I uninstalled FF and rebooted and installed fresh leaving the old settings and bookmarks etc. Then rebooted again.
    When I started FF 8.1 I now get a message "Could not load XRE Functions".
    So remembering the last progy install on this box was Skype I went to the control panel and un installed it ---- and when I did, at the finish I got that same message "Could not load XRE Functions".---- Intresting---- hummmm but how do I get FF installed so I can get on with Life?
    I just tried to verify this new account and got the same Couldnt Load message when I clicked on the email link for this forum.
    Much Thanks in advance for anyones help.

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Restore from iphone4 itunes backup stops after upgrade to ios6. does it have to do with my computer settings as it starts hanging and cannot connect to the internet anymore either till I restart.

    I have the latest version of iTunes and the iOS6 installed on my iPhone4. The restore from my iTunes backup stops at the end of the recovery process though. Do I need to change anything in my computer settings to let it totally finish?

It was down for about 2 weeks when I started to 'play' with the settings. I don't know what I did, but it worked again. The computer stopped working again about a month ago and I just am now getting to it. I don't know what else to do and why it stopped.

  • Executing 2nd command after server rebooted & related services started

    hi friends
    i am creating a PS script containg two lines:
    the first line executes dcpromo /unattend:c:\answerfile.txt to create a new domain controller
    the second line will disable domain password complexity which is: 
    set-executionPolicy -identity mydomain.lab -complexityenabled $false -minimumpasslength 5
    the problem is i need after first line of the script, executed, server be rebooted & the 2nd line 
    be executed after server rebooted & whey AD services started, this script continue to run the next line.
    is it ossible in powershell?
    thanks in advanced

    You won't be able to do that in the same script.
    You can use a second script that waits for the AD services to start, and then sets the password policies and run that script after the restart using the RunServicesOnce key:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/179365?wa=wsignin1.0
    Use the first script to set that key and then do the restart after the DC promo is finished.

    hi again. thanks
    in addition i found that the powershell workflow is better way to that

  • No HTTP Connection until after multiple reboots.

    I seem to lose my HTTP connectivity but FTP seems to work as well as local network connectivity. 
    After the computer has been on for 24 hours plus and I wake it up from sleep mode I lose the ability to see HTTP traffic (websites).  But I was able to see a pdf from a site (this may have been cached).  When I reboot an unknown app seems to hang
    the shutdown and I frequently have to hold the power button to shutdown. When it does reboot I have to shutdown from the "Select User/logon" screen. At this shutdown it goes just fine.  Then finally upon the next restart it will then connect
    to internet websites. 
    Other computers on my local network seem to connect to the internet just fine.  So it does not seem to be a router issue. I have tried the other users on the computer and they seem to work just fine also.  I have scanned the computer for Viruses
    via MacAffee and nothing was detected.  I have ran IPConfig commands (release, renew, etc) and nothing seems to work. I do see the DNS server for my internet provider (Comcast).  
    I think the failure to shutdown is a clue.  When I worked on the Win 98 a similar issue used to occur because of a network card driver issue.  I have checked my driver for updates and I am running the latest version. 
    Summary. 
    No website viewing
    Local network seems fine
    Hangs on shutdown
    Needs two shutdowns to start working
    I have ran ipconfig (renew, release, etc)
    I have updated the Driver for the network card 
    (Wireless or Cat-5 network connection same result)

    Hi,
    Firstly, Please check NIC driver properties in Device Manager, Make sure the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" was unchecked.
    Secondly please check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.
    About Device driver update, If your computer was OEM, it would be better to check update at its official site.
    In addition, to fix this problem, please try to use command netsh winsock reset to reset winsock for test.

  • Internet will start working and stops on main user, other users work fine

    So one day I come upon my computer and it is off, which is weird, I attribute it to power going out (clocks are fine), anyhow, since then, my G5 will not connect to the internet, i have an airport express that has been working fine, it sees the network and will join it, if i open ichat it will open the buddy list and then not show what buddies are online, if it does show what buddies are online, it will let me send one message and then close if someone tries to send me a message back, also with safari, when i click on a page, it starts to load (i think from my cache) and then nothing happens, i made a new user on this same computer and that users works PERFECTLY!! what gives, i'd rather not change my user, also i have a macbook that connects to my network fine, thanks for any help in advance, this is really annoying me
    thanks again

    Basworth-
    I'm not running my mac tonight, so i can't look, but there are some "plists" that can be deleted (and which will be recreated when you reboot the machine).
    Search the discussions for terms like <network plist settings> or similar.
    There seems like there's something messed up in your Preferences that aren't getting correctly set, even when you change preferences. Removing a plist deletes all the goofy settings, and then is put back at default after a restart. THEN when you set the settings, things will "stick".
    Mentioning that a New User works...rings a bell, that plist repair MIGHT be in order.

  • WLC for GUEST network hangs and requires restart

    I have a remote site customer that is getting support calls saying that guest users cannot login to the wireless "guest" network. When they try to access it, the browser hangs up when trying to load the redirect page.
    When they restart the controller, it begins working again. The WLC version is 5.0.148.0. Has anyone seen this issue? If not, what would be the best way to troubleshoot?
    Thanks for any help.

    5.0.148.0 has a lot of bugs, suggest you to keep on using 4.2.112 at this moment until the maintenance release of version 5 comes out. This is one of its bug: CSCsm98250.
    Symptom:
    Webauth and controller access via HTTP or telnet/SSH stop working.
    Conditions:
    After the controller was upgrade to 5.0, ramdomly webauth, and controller access via HTTP or telnet/SSH stop working.
    Workaround:
    Reboot controller.

  • How do I fix: The Plugin Check comes up EVERY time I start Firefox, AND I've installed Adobe Acrobat over 3 times but it still shows up as outdated

    I crammed the info into the subject line, but to repeat...
    Every time I start Firefox, the Plugin Check runs. Every ... single ... time. Very annoying. How do I get this to stop?
    AND
    I installed Adobe Acrobat at least 3 times, but it still shows up as "outdated". Obviously, it only truly installed once, but I tried clicking the button in vain hope that that will fix it.
    But really, I simply don't want the Plugin Check to start every time.
    thx

    Alas, I already tried setting it to False (read it online somewhere) and it doesn't work. Perhaps if you could give guidance on why the Adobe install isn't completing, that would solve the plug-in check issue... Fingers crossed.
