Fan running at 6200 while ONLY running Firefox

Hi, i tried browsing the forum and from what i could find, people were saying high fan speeds were 3500-4000 and with a lot of activity, maybe over 6000. I am only running Firefox right now and my fans are running at 6200 and my main temp is 70C. Does anyone have any recommendations?

What is your Activity Monitor showing? Firefox averages about 10% CPU power on mine.

I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I did it again. Now it will not run and I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I can't figure out what is running.

Because of a problem, I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I uninstalled/reinstalled it again. Now it will not run. I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I have uninstalled multiple times and can't figure out what is running. The is only one Firefox installed and it is not open. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Hot and slow while only running two apps

Ive got a 3.0gGHz dual, 4GB, with 354GB of space left on the HDD. Most of what im doing on the computer is playing World of Warcraft, windowed, with safari open (a very popular thing for those unaware). These are the only two apps ill have open, and not only will the computer become incredibly hot, upwards of 95C, but when clicking between the two and attempting to load pages, it beachballs until clicking back into the game, when the page strangely and quickly loads. I have to have the fans blowing as a gusty 6200rpm with a 2000rpm cooling fan pad underneath just to get it down to 80C, but it still fluctuates. I took it into the genius bar in Atlanta while on vacation, and while they didnt have time to do an OS test (i had to get back on the road), they did a hardware test and found no problems. The genius wasn't much help and had no idea about it being slow or anything, just kind of addressed the heat issue, which what i thought might have been the root cause. After having a desktop computer with only a 2.8 single core and 4GB (windows) with no problems in terms of speed, im feeling that theres got to be something wonky going on. Ive repaired permissions but not done a disk repair. I dont want to reload the OS...because well i feel after switching from PC to Mac its a bit of a copout. Any suggestions? Possibly just some better cooling pads and cooling solutions?

And Safari is good to have open so you can look up various things while youre playing.
I see; thanks for explaining.
Anyways, i still dont think it should bog it down enough to beachball.
Not unless there's Flash or other streaming video content on the page being displayed, no. If there is any, it might very well beachball. Flash is a gigantic processor hog.

Playbook won't run on battery. Only runs when connected to charger.

My playbook battery shows 100% charge, but immediately shuts off when I unplug the charger. When I plug it in it will boot up after red light comes on then flashing green fifteen times and work properly, until I disconnect the playbook charger. I also cannot connect it to my computer anymore.
Unable to find a solution to this exact problem. Any suggestions are appreciated.

First I would like you to do a Back Up of your PlayBook using your computer and BlackBerry Desktop Software.
This can be downloaded for free from http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
After the Back Up is complete I need you to unplug your PlayBook and then push and hold down the Power Button until the unit Force Powers Off.
Now, while Desktop Software is still open on your computer and the PlayBook Powered Off, Connect the PlayBook to your computer.
You should see and error screen from Desktop Software pop up that has the options to Retry, Update, or Cancel.
QUICKLY choose the Update option.
This will erase all the information off of your PlayBook and Re-Write the Software back onto it. Once it's complete your PlayBook will need to go back through the setup wizard, and you can then perform a restore using Desktop Software to return your information. The only thing that won't come back after the restore are the apps that you downloaded from App World but they can be easily Re-Installed using the My World feature in App World.

When I run a application in fullscreen mode while using the Firefox browser, the application automatically minimizes, e gets back to normal only if I close the Firefox. How can I solve this problem?

Hello, I'm writing it to inform you that I am having some problems with mozilla firefox 3.6.10, and I know that other people are having the same problem: Ever I run any fullscreen application, like games, while using mozilla firefox 3.6.10, it automatically minimizes (the program, not the browser). I'd like to find a solution. Sorry about the bad english, I'm a brazilian. My operational system is Windows 7 x86, and I have a Pentium E5300 processor, motherboard MSI (MS-7267), and 2GB of RAM DDR2. It's a Desktop Computer. Thanks for all.

Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac 10.6 I lose the "mouseover" capability after running for a while. Only a REBOOT of the MAC will restore.

After running for a while (hours ? days?) I lose the ability to "mouseover" data on a website and get info. Specifically on Yahoo's
portal page, I can't mouse over a news item and get a summary.
Restarting Firefox, in safe mode or normal mode, does not restore the function. Rebooting the MAC (unheard of !!) restores. What gives ?

See if this works.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit enter.
Filter = '''print.print''' 
There are 6 prefs for headers / footers. 
'''print.print_header...''' center, left, & right 
and 
'''print.print_footer...''' center, left, & right 
You can add what you want in the '''''Value''''' column and then Restart Firefox to effect the change.

I just installed Firefox on a new HP 600-1120 with Windows 7 and it is only running in "safe" mode. Why? How do I get it to run in "regular" mode? How does "safe" mode differ?

Use the Toshiba recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
If you dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk try the HDD recovery:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
This works only if the recovery image files from Toshiba are still on the HDD:
If you installed the system using another disk as Toshiba recovery disk, this recovery option will not work.

Have you tried resetting your iPad? You may have to restore again if there was a problem.
Try the reset first.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Perhaps the PLUGIN Update feature needs to be engaged to assure that both Java and Shockwave editions are current. It requires 'Help' > 'Firefox Help' > where the lower right side displays a link for Plug-In Update...

Every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I try to restart

every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I select firefox to run. The only way around this that I have found so far is to do a fresh install of firefox.

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

Fan noise/overheating issue? I have a late 2008, 15'' MBP and I'm having a lot of fan noise while just running safari. I don't think this is normal but perhaps it is? Thanks for any and all help!

Run time Error while Creating Expense request

Dear Friends ,
In   E-Payment ( Expense Claim )   creation , While clicking on Enter Receipts application is going to run time error for only one user.
Run time Error Info :
Runtime Errors         OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED
Exception              CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL
Short text
     Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "CL_WDR_P13N_UTILITIES=========CP" had to be
      terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
   The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
    caught in
   procedure "PRESET" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
   Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
   exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
   The reason for the exception is:
   You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
   access a component (variable: "LR_CONTEXT_ELEMENT").
   An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
   before it can be used to access components.
   Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
   CLEAR statement.
How to correct the error
     Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
   If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
   find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
   If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
   keywords:
   "OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED" "CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL"
   "CL_WDR_P13N_UTILITIES=========CP" or "CL_WDR_P13N_UTILITIES=========CM002"
   "PRESET"
Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "CL_WDR_P13N_UTILITIES=========CP" -
     in "PRESET".
    The main program was "SAPMHTTP ".
    In the source code you have the termination point in line 60
    of the (Include) program "CL_WDR_P13N_UTILITIES=========CM002".
    The termination is caused because exception "CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL" occurred in
    procedure "PRESET" "(METHOD)", but it was neither handled locally nor declared
    in the RAISING clause of its signature.
    The procedure is in program "CL_WDR_P13N_UTILITIES=========CP "; its source
     code begins in line
    1 of the (Include program "CL_WDR_P13N_UTILITIES=========CM002 ".
Regards,
Suresh .

Hi Agrawal
As you are getting run-time error after entering the sold to party and material and the error is in SAPLV61Z ,
close the session for sometime and open again and then create sales order and then enter sold to party and material and then check wheather you are getting or not. If you are still facing the problem then take the help of the ABAP & BASIS consultant's.
