Auto-run plugins in background tabs

Plugins are not running automatically in background tabs. They only run if and only if I change to the tab in question. For instance, here:
http://plug.dj/edtentertainment/
Every time a song ends if I want the next one to load, I have to open the tab... Or even in Facebook, it only plays the new-message sound when I open the tab.
How to enable autorun?

Select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power

  • I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.

    I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.
    I guess what I have experienced might be a special case of 'Restore previous sessions'. The actual situation was that after I rebooted my laptop, Adobe update jumped out indicating an update being finished successfully. After I clicked on the 'close' button of the Adobe window, it automatically started firefox and linked to its website. But I did not find the 'Restore previous sessions' page this time. Then I restarted firefox, this time there was a start page with 'Restore previous sessions'. However, sadly enough, it is only restored my pinned pages plus the Adobe website. Actually, I am using 'bookmark all tabs' from time to time to secure opened tabs, but this time I did not expect such an incident. I would suggest to improve the 'Restore previous sessions' with multiple time tags and appear in all cases including my reported case here, after updating firefox, crashes etc. I like firefox in most occasions, therefore believe and hope it becomes better and more robust. Thank you very much!

    Hi,
    Please see the following support request: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2628065
    I think the best option would be to leave feedback here to let the relevant development team know about the problem you have had: https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/feedback
    Also you could try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager] add-on which gives more control over how sessions are restored.
    I hope that helps

  • I have a flash game I want to run in the background while surfing other tabs. When I change tabs the game automatically pauses. How can I stop this.

    Is this a flash issue or can I force this game to run in the background somehow.

    Does this also happen if you run that game in another window?
    You can tear off a tab to a new window by slightly dragging the tab down in the browser area.

  • Upgraded to Lion. Numbers is stalling to auto save after every keystroke. Isn't auto save supposed to run in the background?

    Upgraded to Lion. Numbers is stalling to auto save after every keystroke. Isn’t auto save supposed to run in the background?

    It's supposed to save when the processor isn't triggered by the user. If you type slowly, time between two strokes may be sufficient to allow it to start the save process.

    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.

  • Running plugin continuously in the background

    Hello, I'm just starting out trying to make a plugin for Illustrator CC and have been a bit stuck the past few days, so I have a few questions.  The plugin I'm trying to make would have it where when you mouse over a path, an annotation pops up to display the length of the path, reguardless of what tool you have selected. 
    The major question I have is if it is possible to make a plugin that runs in the background without having to select it as a tool?
    I've been going over the SDK and guides and have tried altering the annotator sample project along with trying to make it from scratch, but I haven't gotten the results I want.  I got Annotator to display the length of paths, but I can't remove it's tool properties or make it run like it's always selected.  When I've been tryng to build from scratch, I don't see how to track the cursor since it seems to need the AIToolSuite.  I've also tried to use AINotifierSuite with kAIArtSelectionChangedNotifier, but haven't gotten it to work correctly and it wouldn't work just by mousing over paths if I had.
    Anyway, I was wondering if you guys would be able to point me in the right direction on making this because it seems like it shouldn't be nearly as difficult as it has been for me.
    Details:
    OSX 10.9.1
    XCode 5.0.2
    Illustrator CC 17.0.0

    You have to read carefully the sdk documentation (programmers guide). Illustrator plugin system is described.
    What is a plugin, types of plugins, how it works, how it is loaed, ...... You will learn many, many things.
    A plugin could be loaded during Illustrator startup and only unloaded at Illustrator shutdown. This plugin could do his "magic" during all that session. And It does not have to be a tool. 
    Notifiers:
    Plugin must register for the notifiers in which it is interested. The Notifier Suite is used to register and remove notification requests. (See AINotifierSuite).
    Here it is a sample how it sould be implemented in your plugin.
    myPlugin.h:
    //Methods to be implemented.
    ASErr StartupPlugin(SPInterfaceMessage* message);
    ASErr AddNotifiers(SPInterfaceMessage* message);
    ASErr Notify(AINotifierMessage* message);
    myPlugin.cpp:
    1- During startup, you have to register to notifications. (AddNotifiers).
    ASErr
    myPlugin::StartupPlugin(SPInterfaceMessage *message)
          ASErr error = Plugin::StartupPlugin( message );
          if (error) { return error; }
          error = AddNotifiers(message);
          if (error) { return error; }
         return error;
         // If StartupPlugin returns an error instead of kNoErr, Illustrator
         // will try to load this plug-in again later.
    2- subscribe to notifiers.  kAICSXSPlugPlugSetupCompleteNotifier in this sample.
    ASErr
    myPlugin::AddNotifiers(SPInterfaceMessage* message)
              ASErr error = kNoErr;
         error = sAINotifier->AddNotifier(message->d.self, "myPlugin" kAICSXSPlugPlugSetupCompleteNotifier,
                                 kAICSXSPlugPlugSetupCompleteNotifier, &fCSXSPlugPlugSetupCompleteNotifier);
                  if (error) { return error; }
         return error;
    3- handler (when the notification has been raised).
    ASErr
    myPlugin::Notify(AINotifierMessage* message)
              ASErr error = kNoErr;
                   if ( message->notifier == fCSXSPlugPlugSetupCompleteNotifier )
                //Do the magic here..........    
         return error;
    I hope this will help.
    Thomas.

  • Does Safari use up bandwidth if I leave it running in the background with zero tabs open?  Do I have to quit the application each time I am done to avoid exceeding my internet usage/host quota?

    If I leave Safari running in the background with zero tabs open, does it still use up bandwidth?  Do I have to quit the application each time I am done to avoid exceeding my internet usage/host quota?  I'd rather not have to since quitting the application and restarting it when I need to will quickly become tedious, but if that saves me on bandwidth usage, I'll do it.  Thanks!

  • How can I disable the plugin-container.exe that, runs in the background?

    Every time I click on a url, the browser freezes up momentarily and then loads the page and this is constant and I have the feeling is because of plugin-container.exe running in the background. Please advice. Thanks!!

    That process is from firefox, firefox now loads the plugins in another proccess.
    Try to start firefox in safe mode to check if that process runs again.

  • When I click on a new link, it opens a whole new firefox instead of using my default which is running in the background

    I have firefox as my default browser. Anytime I click on an email or search for something, instead of opening my default browser, firefox loads a new firefox page. It is a blank page just as if I had never had one. It has nothing on it except how you would start out before you set up your tabs and history etc. My default firefox is still there running in the background but I must click on it and manually put in the link I was trying to open.
    Any suggestions.

    Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
    Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
    Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

  • Using the middle mouse button to open a link in a new background tab also reloads the current page.

    When I click on a link with the middle button to open the link in a new background tab, the original page reloads and my view jumps to the top each time.
    The new tab loads fine but in order to continue reading the original page I have to scroll down to where the link I clicked on is.
    If I right-click on the link and select "Open Link in New Tab" from the context menu then the behaviour is as expected -- does not reload the original page. The flaw only happens when using the convenient mouse shortcut.
    This is annoying, for example, on long Wikipedia articles where I want to open some of the cited pages in other tabs for reading later whilst I continue to read original article. I'm constantly having to find where I was in order to continue reading.
    I've observed this behaviour on both Windows XP and Ubuntu on various computers.
    [EDIT]: Better description of problem in title.

    I've never had that happen with Firefox 4 on WinXP. I haven't updated my Netbook that runs Ubuntu to Firefox 4 yet.
    1. Try disabling the Java Console 6.0.24 and the Java Quick Starter 1.0 extensions and see if that solves your middle-click problem.
    2. Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • How do i turn off apps running in the background

    How do I stop apps from running in the background?

    Do you mean u have no idea what apps they are? You could try Activity Monitor, but be careful there that you won't close / quit apps which might be needed by your system..
    If you have some apps which startup in the background when logging in, you can find it in system preferences -> Users & Groups, select your user and then select the tab Login Items.

  • SAFARI: running in the background:

    When I access a website there is an automatic refresh of the content. When I open a different webpage with Safari, then the automatic refresh on the first page stopps! How can I have a webpage be refreshed in background?
    Does Safari download content when it is minimized / not visible?
    When I go back to the first page, then the automatic refresh is not there any more. The function has been de-activated by Safari on Ipad. (On a Firefox on windows there is no such problem). How can I get the same webpage behaviour than before. (I know that reloading the page does the job. But this should be automatic and not from the user)

    The ipad like a lot of other mobile devices use a type of multitasking that differs from multitasking you would find on Mac OS X, Windows or Linux.  Apple chooses to put most background apps on iOS devices in a suspended mode which allows the application to be paused in the background and then respond quickly when brought to the foreground. Some application functions can continue to run in the background.
    Features that are allowed to run in the background are music, location services, airplay, VoIP, push notifications, but it is still up to the developers to make use of this functionality.
    I don't believe Safari is one of the applications that will continue to run in the background.
    Why does Apple choose to do this? Short answer: Battery life and performance.  If app developers were allowed to choose whether or not to have their application to run in the background, bad programmers would quickly kill the performance and battery on the iOS device.
    Some devices such as andriod phones and the blackberry playbook allow broader multi-tasking. The trade off? Andriod phones have task killers, which forces the user to manage their performance and battery life. The playbook comes shipped with a default of using suspended multi-tasking on vs. full multi-tasking - since full multi-tasking would again affect performance and battery life.
    I agree it would be nice if webpages continued to load if Safari is in the background, and maybe this will be added / enabled in the future. I think Apples design provides a better user experience and still allows most of the functions to run in the background that need to.  (I don't need a movie to play in the background or game).
    My guess would be Safari doesn't allow background use right not because of issues like auto-refresh pages, which again would affect performance and battery.

  • Apps running in the background

    It seems to be if you have the app linked to a watch complication or you have it on your glances page, then those apps loads much faster.  I figure they are always running so the data can be displayed on the watch face or quickly at a glance.
    So if you have every possible app on your glances page, then your battery life would drain much faster than if you have fewer apps.
    I only have 3-4 apps on my glances page and I can easily get 20 hours of battery life, and this includes a 1 hour workout using GPS and HR monitoring.

    Tbh, the biggest battery drain is your email push settings. I'd look at those before worrying about terminating background apps.
    You can see everything that's running on your phone by using a "process monitor" app. I use one called "iStat". Unfortunately, iStat can only show you what's running, it can;t actually kill anything. It will definitely tell you which of the 1st party programs (browser, email, ipod) are running in the background.
    If you actually want to kill one of these, the procedure is:
    Open the app in question (e.g. launch the ipod app)
    Hold the power/sleep button until the red slider appears.
    Hold the sleep button for around 6 seconds (eventually the red slider will disappear and you will be returned to the home screen).
    Whichever app was running (e.g. ipod) will now be forced to close.
    ** note: To close safari, you can simply close all the "tabs" down, and then exit. If you close safari when there are no tabs in use, it will completely shut down.

  • After installing zone Alarm extreme 10, firefox.exe 32 stays running in the background after closing, making it not possible to open it again.

    After installing the latest Zone Alarm Extreme v10, on windows 7 x64, when I close firefox, the window closes but firefox.exe 32 remains running in the background, which makes that when I want to open firefox again, after about a minute I get the error that an instance of firefox is still running. I go to task manager and end task of firefox.exe 32 and then open firefox again.
    This is now happening regularly.

    This seemed to come out of the blue, very much as described by anima42. I also am a Ubuntu 10.04 user. I have pondered on the first reply above, and though I don't, and didn't, use Tabberwocky, I was using Tab Mix Plus. Having removed this, the problem seems to have gone away. Another possible clue as to what went wrong: I use a constant Firefox profile located in my home directory. I dabbled with Ubuntu 11.04 a week or so ago, which runs (I think) a more updated Firefox. This Firefox was operating on my default profile, as you would. It may have broken something so it now doesn't play nicely with the 10.04 setup. Just surmising.

  • Running Mail in background

    is there a way to have Mail check for new mail at startup but in the background (kinda like how Finder and Dashboard does)?
    it's a little annoying to have Mail auto opening and sometimes having no new mail.

    Once Mail has opened you can click the red button to close the window and it will continue to run in the background, checking at intervals (if you have set it to do so) - clicking on the Dock icon will bring the window up again.
    In the Accounts>Login Items pane you could try auto-opening but hiding it.
