Firefox 24 and 25-b always hangs when starting up on mac Osx 10.8.5 despite trying everything suggested on support pages. Reverting to firefox 22 works. Help?

I have tried everything on support yet it keeps crashing. My macbook pro has the same software (10.8.5) yet firefox 25.0 works like a dream. My desk top is part of an office network with 10.8 server.
Question title edited by moderator to change "keeps crashing" to "always hangs", since Firefox isn't crashing - it's not responding. aw

I encounter the same problem. I suspect this has to do with remote user homes. Firefox 24 works on local accounts - not in server hosted ones.
I am sorry i can not provide crash reports because Firefox hangs in such an early state - it does not write crash logs. It literally does not crash - it just stops to respond a lounchtime - so it does not give an error in the system console, too.
We have 20 Workstations (OSX 10.8.5) working with apple remote user homes. the problem is persistent on all systems. Firefox 23 worked fine and does again if you reinstall it.

Firefox hang on Start-Up on Mac OSX 10.5.x with any FFv3.5.2 and FFv3.0.11

I've done everything I can think of... and it is still hanging! I've done repair disk permissions, I've moved the folder to all disable plugins and everything else, I've deleted the .plist file and and FF and started over. Downloaded and tried V3.0.11 , and it still hangs after 3-10 seconds with ~600MB of ram taken up. I just ran the new Apple update too, 10.5.8, which didn't do a thing to help. Tried running in safe-mode from terminal. Nothing. Can anyone help?

Well, I've posted the question on the forums there also. I guess I could try the chat too. http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-viewforum_thread.php?commentsparentId=411315&forumId=1

Why does firefox hang up and say it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage?

firefox hangs up and says it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

A previous and unrelated text always appears when I need to send a new text. This prevents forwarding texts also, which I need to do all the time for my business. How can I fix? Please help!

Hi,
This sounds like it is about Window positions.
iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
Video is always top Center of your Screen
Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

So aslmanager taking 99% and Console.app hangs when started

So aslmanager taking 99% and Console.app hangs when started
anybody know why aslmanager needs 99% of CPU and 2+ GB footprint?

ok, i found a solution that worked for me. this may or may not be the problem you are having but give this a shoot. i think in my case the asl database got corrupted. unline tiger and below this database is not stored in asl.db in leopard. in leopard, the entire /var/log/asl directory is the database. so to remove the database and start from scratch, you need to
sudo launchctl stop com.apple.syslogd
sudo launchctl stop com.apple.aslmanager
sudo mv /var/log/asl/* ~/tmp (you might as well use rm but i wanted to be safe)
sudo launchctl start com.apple.syslogd
For good measure I also ran the maintenance scripts:
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
My machine has been dead quiet for hours now. darn, it's back to the kitchen for making my toast.
so, what did we learn? Mac, PC - same thing; both are great until you have problems. only with pc's you have a lot more resources to tap into...

RAC hangs when starting or stopping 2nd instance of 2 node RAC

Has anyone seen the problem with all transactions and/or logins hanging when starting or stopping the 2nd node of a 2 node RAC database. When I shut down the 2nd instance using srvctl I occasionally get errors and long delays connecting. On our larger database with instances having a very large SGAs, trying to connect you sometimes get ORA-12537 or ORA-01033. Users experience a very long hang before getting the errors. These instances have very large SGAs of about 30GB on each node.
In the log of the first instance we see messages like the following for quite a while.
Global Resource Directory frozen
Communication channels reestablished
Master broadcasted resource hash value bitmaps

Thanks in advance.

I have tested with only one node and starting and stopping is much faster without any cache fusion traffic. The application is not RAC aware, it was written without regard for RAC. As you say there may be some accessing of the same block by all nodes causing RAC to remaster blocks when a node is shut down.
My concern is the length of time users are afftected when I am starting a node that has been offline for a while. With the large SGA I have, it appears users are affected adversely for several minutes, in affect causing an outage which we are trying to avoid by using RAC.

Photoshop (CS3) Hangs When Started

I just purchased PS CS3 and after spending an entire evening and morning getting to the point where the software asked for my serial number, I still have not gotten anything other than a PS window and an hourglass cursor with the window indicating that Adobe Photoshop CS3 is not responding. I am running Windows XP with all the Windows updates installed. I get the same result with the version right off the DVD or after having dowloaded and installed all the updates to the various components. I did many installs finally using the CS3 cleanup script at level 3 and this allowed me to enter my SN.
If I look at the application event log in XP I can see the following:
Hanging application Photoshop.exe, version 10.0.1.0, hang module hungapp, version 0.0.0.0, hang address 0x00000000.
I looked through the forum and did not see the exact problem in other posts. Is there a switch that can be used with Photoshop.exe to log the application startup?
Any help would be appreciated. I am starting to think I made a terrible mistake buying this software based on using an older version years ago.
Thanks,
John

I am also trying to install CS3 on my computer and I have the same problem. I am using Windows Vista. After installing, the application hangs also just as described. I have contacted customer service who told me to uninstall and reinstall. I did and it continues to hang when opening. I contacted customer service and they told me to uninstall and reinstall. Did so and it hangs.
Several customer service of uninstall, download CS3 from website, and still hangs.
After several days I was referred to technical support, they had me uninstall and reinstall. The application still hangs with technical support on phone. After 2 hours on the phone, we were still creating new users, uninstalling and reinstalling, changing msconfig and still hanging.
Finally I was told by tech support to uninstall and reinstall again but you guessed it, it was close to closing for tech support and was told I would have to call back.
Waited until Saturday and you guessed it, tech support is only available Mon thru Friday. I have to work to pay for programs like this and can't take off during the week right now to spend all day with tech support.
I never saw and answer to the post as to what steps to take to correct it from hanging.
anyone else have same problem or can resolve it?

Sorry, I do not use or ever heard of "freehand MX". All I can tell you is to make sure it is compatible w/your current OS & to post in the Adobe Forums since it is an Adobe product.
"also if i could ask what cable would i need so i can get my emac talking to my imac, for transfering files etc."
See Knowledge Base Article - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25575 Mac OS: Moving files from your older Macintosh to a new one
Also, if you have a High-speed connection, the easiest & fastest way is through AIM (AOL Instant Messenger).
iChat has the same ability of transferring large files as AIM.

PS Hangs When Starting

PS hangs when starting by clicking icon on Windows 8.1 Pro Taskbar: Grayed Welcome screen with nothing clickable. If open any image any format only one layer called "Index" is locked and cannot unlock. Under Layer menu only one submenu available and that is "Layer Style..." and when that is hovered only one option is available and that is "Global Light..."
Is this some psycho religious fanatic virus? What is going on?

Maybe a Preferences reset will clear it up.
Start Photoshop and very quickly hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift. When the "Delete Photoshop Settings File" dialog appears, release those keys and click "yes" and let Photoshop finish loading.
You have to be quick with those keys, so it may take a few tries.

SAP system hang when start the addon.

Dear Expert,
I just upgrade one of the SAP B1 server from 2007A to SAP B1 8.8 PL15, everything going smooth both server and clients.
Except one client (new laptop with Win 7 Pro x86), this laptop fail to start the addon.
Others clients with same specs Win 7 Pro have no problem to start addon.
Addon started manually.
After click start button for that addon, the system hang. If without the addon system working fine.
If anyone have ideas to check much appreciate and thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mat

Hi Bala,
I did try your steps, but no luck. System still hang when start the addon.
But, I can start SAP addon , example i try Screen Painter, and can start successfully. Only our addon cannot start.
I'm not suspect our addon because others client working smooth, even the server also working fine.
I did re-install DIAPI, even re-install SAP client a few time, but still fail to start addon (delete SAP client folder before install).
Any one face this problem?
Regards,
mat

I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password. I have tried everything. I even changed the password, nothing is working. Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5. I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack. Please help, I need to use this feature soon. Thank you so much

Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.
