Firefox 4 VMware vCenter Lab Manager dropdown boxes are broken

When using Firefox 4 with the VMware vCenter Lab Manager application version 4.0 (4.0.2.1269), none of the dropdown pickboxes work properly. It appears that the text in these fields is of zero height or something. I can provide screenshots of this if necessary.

I should read the whole answer before posting a reply:) No, it still doesn't show the drop down options in 10.0.
Something changed between 3.6 and 4.0 that causes these empty drop down boxes. All versions, starting with 4.0 up until 10.0, show the same behavior that you can see in the attached image: empty drop down boxes for the "source", "network" and "datastore" options.

On Firefox 13 the new tab page boxes are blank no matter how many times I visit a website

I downloaded firefox 13 about a week ago and when I open a new tab the boxes that are supposed to display your most visited webpages don't work, if you go to your bookmark that says "Most Visited" that displays my most visited webpages fine but none of the pages show up on my new tab page. Also if I click and drag one of the websites into the boxes the website name appears but it never loads any picture for the website.
If I don't click and drag the website to one of the boxes then the box is empty....there is no website, nothing. But I've gone to plenty of sites plenty amount of times and it is not showing up
http://i.imgur.com/TWmAU.png --- Here's a image of what I see (to clear up any confusion)

I tried starting it in safe mode and it still wasn't working so I reset firefox back to default everything and the new tab page seems to work now.

Creating Cascading Filter Dropdown boxes when data source is BO (Unx) Universe.

Currently it is understood that cascading filter dropdown boxes are possible only with HANA and BW datasources. Is there a plan to release this functionality with Design Studio version 1.3? Did anybody find a workaround for this yet?

Firefox update 3.6.15 seems to have broken all addons

Since I update to the most recent firefox (3.6.15), all my addons are broken. In the addon tab, they say that they're enabled, but I can't click on the preferences buttons of any of them. Some of them display a green exclamation point, but the ones that don't are still broken. At the top of the addons tab, it says "Restart Firefox to complete your changes" but if I restart, it still says that and it didn't update them.
I've tried updating several of them manually, but they don't update and they don't work. The addons don't appear anywhere in my browser at all; for instance if it's a toolbar, there's no toolbar and no option to get the toolbar when I right click. If it's a button on my main bar, it's gone, and when I go to "customize" the button is still not available.
I've googled this a bunch and am not seeing anyone with my problem.

You might want to add more details in "Computer Model Information" lines.
Is there any source of interference nearby?
The Mac Pro - does it run on a dedicated line / circuit? UPS and/or line conditioner? It shouldn't be putting a real tax on the circuit, unless it is shared with a lot of equipment. They've been known to push the limits for some.
I've seen more than a couple threads reporting problems with ViewSonic (gladly my LCD VGA is older and seems safe).
Are they running off X1900 Radeon?
Sometimes a system ships and even DIMMs can be loosened, maybe video card needs to be reseated?
Hopefully it is just a loose cable somewhere.

Lab Manager to vCenter Host Migration Problem

Ok I have a weird one for you hopefully someone can help and if so TIA!!!. I have Lab Manager 4.0 running and I am trying to move all my Hosts and VM's out and over to Vcenter 4.0 so I can shut down and quit using LM and some of my hosts are having problems. I have undeployed all my Vm's off the hosts and went thru the unprepare process and moved the hosts to a new cluster that was not created in Lab Manager and some of my hosts are fine but some are not. On the ones that are having issues when I migrate a Vm to it I cannot remote or ping the vm but I can ping the Host. Has anyone seen or had this happen to them? Again some of my hosts that I have migrated had no issue at all but some are. Should I go and add it back to LM and add the host then go thru the unprepare process again and see if that works? Any help would be much appreciated TIA.
Thanks,
JE

can you try uninstall the lab manager agent manually from the host? Follow the KB for steps.

Firefox is suddenly not remembering or filling in any of my passwords. All of the appropriate boxes are checked in the options/security tab, but it won't remember any passwords and shows none saved. How do I get it to remember and fill in my passwords again?

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
If the latter happens then you have a problem with cookies that are not kept or the file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie that you must allow: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Exceptions"
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Cookies' and the 'Site Preferences'.
Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".

Dropdown boxes do not work on Firefox 5.0.

When using the address bar or any dropdown box on Firefox, the drop down menu flashes but will not stay open so that I can use it. I do not have this issue in IE. I have started Firefox in Safe Mode and the dropdown boxes still did not work.
I can't even use the dropdown box on this form.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 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. 
''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. 
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

After use and not even long use dropdown menus are blank, Firefox won't close.

For a couple of weeks after a short time of use dropdown menus are blank almost as if they have been lifted off the screen but I can see an imprint of where they should be.. Sometimes running the cursor over them seems to make them appear but not often.
When this happens I cannot close Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a couple of weeks ago

From your description, it seems that an add-on may me causing your issue. Follow the steps at [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] to test whether your extensions are causing this behavior. Reply back here with the results and with the name(s) of any extensions you have enabled.

I run firefox on three computers and on this one my website font is not correct. All of my boxes are set up the same. Please advise.

As I mentioned above I have three pc's all running win7 and firefox 6.02. On this box website fonts are different than the others. All of the "option" settings are identical on all of the boxes. Including "allow pages to choose their own fonts". I uninstalled 6.02 and installed 5.0 but there was no difference. So I reset to 6.02.
The pages look fine in IE.
Please advise.

That change needs to be made to the CSS file that is on the web server.
So if you use a CSS file or have the CSS code in the main HTML file then add font-stretch: condensed; to all CSS rules that have a ''font-family: "Arial Narrow";''
If you do not have access to the page code and can't modify it then there is not much that you can do.

Lab Manager console is disconnected and shows a blank grey screen

Hello,
I am trying to solve an issue in Lab Manager v4.0 (no update 1) that is perplexing me. I am simply trying to show or view an open console in Lab manager using IE6. I am prompted to install the MKS add-on (quickMksAx.dll) and I can that no problem. When I try to "show" the console view it pauses for a few seconds and then displays "The console is disconnected" wiht a bland grey background. I have spent several hours searching for a solution on google but to no avail. I have tried these documented workarounds on the VMware website but again to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated. There are several users in our company that will access Lab Manager via IE6 exclusively. I need to know what settings to change in IE to get around this problem. One important note, this only happens when I connect to Lab Manager 4.0. Works fine on Lab Manager v3.
I attached a jpg showing the error screen.
Thank you in advance!

I'm running LabManager 4.04 with IE9 and Firefox 10.x. The Black Windows Screen is sometimes there sometimes not.
The Browsers more or less doenst react when connecting and then the Console Window through mks-plugin is there and sometimes
the black window appears.
I first thought some problems with a local firewall and checked the logfile but none of the ports and ip destinations show up as blocked.
Then i checked the system with the process explorer. The mks plugin exe doesnt seem to start when the black window appears.
When the Console is visible the vmware plugin starts up and is availabe in the process monitor.
The Plugin writes logfiles in the logged in users Appdata\Local\vmware....\vmware-%username%-xxxx.txt but first when it could be started.
I havent checked by now the following possible reasons
- Identical Systemtime
- DNS Resolution of ESX-Hosts
- Webconsole Interface vCenter
But why does it work sometimes and sometimes not the possible reasons doesnt fit to Identical Systemetime, DNS-Resolution and Webconsole..
If these reseans are responsible it shouldnt work at all and not the sometimes it does and sometimes it dont

Cannot quit Visual FoxPro (Windows Terminal Server 2008 + Citrix XenApp 5 + VMWare vCenter 5.1)

Hi everybody:
This is not the typical question about this error, because the problem here is not about how to quit (CLEAR EVENTS then QUIT). The really and weird problem is that our application do no execute the error trapping routines (Try/Catch and ON ERROR) and tries
to directly Quit.
I have never seen something like this before, error trapping routines not executed.
I try to explain the problem better:
- The user click on the Citrix icon of our App
- Citrix shows the executed processes (establishing connection, applying user config, loading profile, etc)
- The Application (VFP 9 SP2) is started and in any moment, while loading, occurs an error that is not handled by error handlers, and it executes a "kind" of a Quit command, that we detect because have a ON SHUTDOWN to catch it, then the App shut
down and the user must click the Citrix icon and start all over again, up to 7 times, when the App really load and work.
- I think that it is useful to make clear that no QUIT command is really causing this, just the behaviour of the QUIT when an error occurs, but just while loading. If the App get completely loeaded, then everything works as expected
Infraestructure:
- Windows Terminal Server 2008 + Citrix XenApp 5 + VMWare vCenter 5.1
- There are up to 50 concurrent users max in every virtualized server
- More than 10 GB of free disk space / Up to 4 GB ram
- RAM Memory is never used to the max
- CPU (Intel Xeon) is never used to the max (up to 90% in some cases)
- Data (DBFs for temporal work) ar on local drive, not over network (to avoid network known problems with smb2-3)
- There are connection to a Oracle 11 database for permanently storing the data
About the errors:
- They are not always the same or in the same place. In example, in one execution could fail the query of SET("Printer",2), in other execution could fail a SET PROCEDURE TO xxx ADDITIVE (sometimes already loaded), in other could fail a "DO
WHILE .T." in a init event.... completely crazy, and in all cases the errors are not thrown, not a single error code, the App just try to quit, as if ALT+F4 where pressed.
- All this does not happen allways to everyone, but happens many times in the day to many many users as to be worried
- The same user can have this error many times a day, but not allways
- Some of the problems started when migrating to Windows Terminal Server 2008, but didn't notice nothing special in the beginning, but a year later (last 2014) problems tend to go worse
Tried solutions:
- For the "SET PROCEDURE TO xxx ADDITIVE" error, a "IF xxx $ SET('PROCEDURE')" check was added
- The "SET('Printer',2)" check was moved out of initialization code, so it executes when user want to print the first time. In this case was neccesary to talk with IT guys to map a default printer after the App runs, and not in background, as it
was.
- Other checks and modifications was made to minimize posibility of errors
- Adding a timeout of 5 secs in the start of the program, to force a wait
- Restart of virtual servers (not the phisical) every 3 weeks
What I suspect:
- Some Microsoft optimization (memory?, process execution?) in WTS-2008 may interfere?
- Some VMWare memory management may interfere with WTS-2008?
- Some Citrix management may interfere with both?
- Server degradation because of day to day use
Results until now:
- Apparently, adding the timeout to force 5 secs delay and the restart of the server have made a notable enhancement in App start and running
with far fewer
errors
Has
this happened to anyone?
Thanks! o_O

I never had this type of problems, but somewhat similar start up problems. I'd say it indicates resource problems. Low RAM can cause many unpredictable things. In my case loading much data at the begin of an application caused out of memory errors, which
were reported and logged normally, though.
I made a small tool using Windows API functions GetPerformanceInfo and GetProcessMemoryInfo, you'll find declaration and usage like usual at the News2News site. It's a bit lengthy and cluttered, but pretty much what you find there anyway, so I'll not post
my utility code.
I could quite clearly see how many users degraded available memory per session and at some time no further instance of the application was possible on the server. In my case RDP was used to start the app, Citrix will be quite the same, in the end the application
runs on some server and users see the remote running application.

How to avoid roundtrip to server on value select in dropdown box in ALV cel

Dear Experts,
I have WD ALV table where user edits values in the cels using dropdown by key element.
Then after edit he saves whole table. When value is changed in dropdown box the roundtrip to server occurs and it takes noticable time for every cell. My dropdown lists are fixed and are the same for all rows. It is not pleasant user experience and is annoying for user.
Is there a way to disable this roundtrip for each value selection for each cell and transfer all the data for whole ALV table only when I save whole table (separate button "Save")?
Help very much appreciated.
Dmitry

A lot of enterprises, however, actively avoid systems which are locked down to a particular server for very legitimate reasons. If my data center dies in the middle of the night, I sure don't want to have to call your mobile phone so that you can get to a computer, log in to the office network, and get me a new key so that I can finish my emergency failover. If I've got dozens of applications, I absolutely don't want to do that with dozens of different vendors.
It sounds like your problem, though, isn't that users are installing your software on multiple computers it's that they are accessing functionality they haven't licensed. That is generally a much easier problem to solve and doesn't require you to lock anything down to a particular machine. You can create a table LICENSED_CONTENT, for example,
CREATE TABLE licensed_content (
client_id NUMBER,
content_type VARCHAR2(30),
key RAW(128)
)In this case, KEY is, say, a hash (using the DBMS_CRYPTO or DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT packages if you'd like) of the client_id, content_type, and a bit of salt (i.e. a fixed string that only you know). When you sell a license to manage diamond content, you provide a script that inserts the appropriate row in the LICENSED_CONTENT table. When your application starts up, it reads the LICENSED_CONTENT table and verifies the hash before allowing users to access that type of content. This allows legitimate customers to move the software from one system to another but prevents them from accessing new functionality without a new license.
