After quitting Firefix a process is still running in the backround which eats MEGA resources ( 1 GB)

Just exiting Firefox (Version 4 does the same thing) I have to open up the Windows Task Manager, search for Firefox.exe and remove the process by hand. It shows most of the time a usage of over 1 GB, which slows the system tremendously down because of the swap file usage.. Also, the more pages I open, the slower it gets. Even the respond of the mouse click takes several seconds which pisses me off totally. There are some nice features with firefox, but I only use it now when I need it. Google Chrome is much faster, reliable, and removes unneeded rubbish - you can watch the difference with "System Explorer"!
Thanks

Delete the following code:
on quit
quit
end quit
The purpose of the 'on quit' handler is so additional instructions can be executed when the script is told to quit. If desired, 'continue quit' can be part of the handler to call the normal quit command; without the 'continue', the script just repeats the handler over and over with no exit, which causes the overflow.

Just updated to 8 & now I can't open any web pages & firefox is still running in the background after browser was closed. I uninstalled and reinstalled as well as disabled add-ons and plugins nothing has changed, can I downgrade back to on older version?

See "Hang at exit":

See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

WSUS process is still running/ hanging up

I made an inexperienced mistake.
Things that I have done include:
I have changed synchronization to manual from Auto.
I went to automatic approvals and unchecked WSUS updates to automatically approve updates for the WSUS product itself.
I went to Update files and languages and chose the "Do not store files locally; computers install from Microsoft Update"
I did the following three items above within the WSUS console in options.
After the issue occured my monitoring agent provided me with the following:
Description: The program mmc.exe version 6.0.6002.18005 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available,
check the problem history in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel. Process ID: 2c38 Start Time: 01cc2b5582d3395e Termination Time: 0
Now when I try to turn on the three options I unchecked, the snapin hangs up and says the WSUS process is still running. Its been three days. This issue is still occuring and I am unable to synchronize successfully, or even get into the snapin.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I changed "store update on local" and now I can't make any changes on settings. It keeps saying "cannot save configuration because server is still processing a previous configuration change".
Yep. It means exactly what it says. It's all about understanding the implication of changes to be made before making those changes.
You choose NOT to have a local content store and now the WSUS server needs to process each and every approved update to determine whether there's a file to be removed from the filesystem and/or whether there's a EULA to be kept. This process has been known
to run for DAYS on some servers depending on the number of total updates, number of approved updates, number of groups, and available resources on the server.
Your only option is to WAIT for the process to complete.

Recently, after cancelling the tick of a song, which is the next song after the one I am listening, in the song list, the canceled song will still run for the next song. I remember that it used not to happen like this. How can I solve this problem?

This looks like a change of behaviour in iTunes 12. Once songs are queued up to the Up Next list then they play whether ticked or not. If you want to skip certain songs already queued click the Up Next tool, then click the small X to the left of the song that appears when you hover over it.

After closing the AIR application, it still runs in the Task Manager

Hi,
I am very new to AIR application. I have made a product demo
application in CS3 using AS2 and just for the sake of testing the
AIR, I published an AIR installer of that application.
Every thing works as it should be but I am facing one
problem, when I close the application using the close button. It
disappears from the desktop but when I checked the TaskManager...It
still running there. And using large CPU resource (around 50%).
Does any one know the reason behind it?....I also tried to
installing other AIR application (made by other users) but that
application is closing correctly..

You might set the flag:
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.autoExit
to false?
Otherwise your app. should exit.

Operation cancelled on SQL Developer still running on the DB

Using either the SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.39 or .64.45 versions when a DML statement (e.g. SELECT, DELETE, etc.) is executed and few seconds after cancelled before it finishs, the SQL Dev IDE shows as the operationwas cancelled, but it still running at the database level.
If you try to close the SQL Developer to cancell the operation, you will get a "Connection is currenly busy. Try again?", but you can only chose Abort and wait.
Regards,
ASCh

SQL Developer is certainly not just cancelling statements in the user interface - I can cancel a query that normally takes two minutes to run after five seconds and then immediately run a different query in the same connection and get the results (ie the cancelled query is no longer running in the database).
You are probably seeing the difference between the UI no longer waiting for the statement to complete and the statement actually completing in the database. Especially with DML the database needs to clean up from the cancelled statement, rolling back changes already made by the statement before it was cancelled. Even selects can allocate temporary space for sorting which would need to be cleaned up on cancelling the select.
I would not expect closing SQL Developer to do anything more to cancel the statement in the database than it has already done - SQL Developer has already told the database to cancel the statement and it is just taking some time for the database clean up after the cancelled statement.

VLC still running in the background (~200% CPU)

Hello,
I noticed that my laptop was getting really hot so I checked the processes running. I found out that a VLC process was still running and using weirdly about 200% of the CPU... I couldn't kill it and had to restart. Any clue about how this could happen and how I can solve it?

To start it I just opened a video file, to kill it, alt+f4. Then maybe an hour later I found out it was still running. It is not the first time that this happens with VLC. If I remember well I had the same problem using Linux Mint 14. I'll try to see if in some way I can repeat the problem.

It's very simple. If you want to use iPhoto, just let it manage things as it does. Other than that: Export from iPhoto and delete the image from iPhoto. That will remove the master and all versions.
If space is an issue... use an external disk.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Why does my iMac display keep shutting off? Computer still running in the background. I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail. The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8

Checked.... the settings had not been inadvertently changed, but I did move the scroll and reset them back to the original. Hasn't shut off again.... yet. Will re-post with follow-up one way or the other. Thanks.

HT1338 Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

Sorry for being unclear.
When I am using the update in the App Store App, there will be a list of various applications that have updates to be installed (Final Cut Pro will be in this list). I will already be logged in with the Apple ID I use for everything (my dev account). I will be able to update all of the other various applications needing updating except for my Final Cut Pro. When I click the update button next to the FCP update, it will give me an error saying "This download is not available for this apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"
I have not had any applications refunded or cancelled and this has only happened since my update to Yosemite. FCP was working fine until the upgrade. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

If you close magic jack app and it's not running in the backround then the pod touch 4 wont' ring right?

   I might have put this question in the wrong catergory if you think it would be better asked in the app category please let me know but I know this is the general board for most main questions.
    HERE'S WHAT I READ"
   Most of the apps showing in the Recents tray are not actually running. Very, very few apps are doing much of anything in the background. The only ones that are likely to be draining your battery would be apps that play music or access location services. Unless you're noticing unsual behavior from the phone, it's not really worth the effort to go quitting everything. Last time I counted, I had about 80 "recently used" apps showing. I have no issues with battery life.
   So if if I have Magic Jack open and I just hit home button once then it will ring but if I close it by double clicking the home button and deleting it to close it would it still ring?

   Thanks for your response IIIaass,
   I have a couple of questions, I was under the notion that when you simply clicked the home button once the app is closed but I've heard different.
   1)   So if you have an app open and you click the home button once and the screen shuts down it's still running in the background right. But to close the app completely you have to click on the home button twice and then the the screen raises up and you tap on the app until it jiggles and you see the red minus badge and then you delete it this is closing the app completely right? Or does the app close when your viewing it and just click the home button once and the screen shuts down it would be still running in background?
   2) So let's me see if I got it straight. In order to close an app you have to double click on the home button tap until it jiggles and tap the red minus sign badge and then that completely closed the app? Am I right on that
     Also as long as you have notification turned on you can close the app completely by double clicking on home button and delete the app to close it and Magic Jack will still ring even though the app is completely closed because I didn't know if it had to run in the background in order for a call to come through and ring. But from what your saying you can close the app completely and as long as notification is turned on the call will still come through. See question 1 above to see if I've got it right about an app running in background and closing an app. I always thought when you were viewing an app and you home clicked one and the screen shuts down the app is closed until recently I heard it's not close until you double click and delete it from the bottom under the dock. I just want to make sure I've got it straight!
   Thanks for your response!

Every time i open an app it will close with in a few min and wont open at all if music is running in the backround. what can i do about this?

See:

Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.
Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
Restore to factory settings/new iPod

I can not upgrade the iOS on my phone, nor sync the phone because the process starts with backing up the phone which always hangs up at the backing up stage and then will not allow further progress.

And for this I guess that it is the backing up of my Podcasts - which are free downloads that causes the hang up. These are items that I have played and synced before without issues. I am thinking this way because these are Podcasts that I used to play but sundenly would not play on my iPhone. Each time I try to play anyone of them it generates the message - this movie could not be played.
I am scared of atempting a system restore because I guess I may lose my SMS for the past two months. Please approach the solution from this point of view.
Thanks
Joe

It may have something to do with one of your backup files that has been corrupted before.
