Firefox allows random adds to run on my phone in the background.

Maybe it's the upgrade I installed a few days ago, but now Firefox is allowing random adds to play in the background on my Android phone, and I can't stop them. The particular add that's been flaying is a commercial for Verison Wireless.
I recall having the same problem on the desktop version of Firefox for Windows, and I had to go through some procedure I found online to get that to stop. Can't find any information related to Android. Anyway, I've uninstalled it from my Android until someone tells me how to stop these things or until there is a fix to stop them. How is that even allowed? Why would Firefox even allow adds to play which can't be seen or turned off, especially on a phone where data is often limited. It's bad enough it just start playing out of nowhere.

HI bozjidar,
That is strange, so there are some add ons in Desktop that also have Android versions such as Ad block plus. I have seen edge cause a crash.
You can also do not track. Please see: [[How do I use Do-not-track on Firefox for Android?]]
Please post back with your results, we are happy to help.

Is it possible to run a form offline (in the background)..?

Is it possible to run a form offline (in the background) by passing all the required parameters? I know this sounds crazy...but like to know if a form can be run in silent mode.
This will help us in reusing the form for online and background processing.
Thanks.

If there is something to run in background, why would that be a form? Normally, a form is supposed to interact with the user.
If you want to do some data crunching in the database in background, then that should be a job. And, if needed, you may submit the job even from a form, after which you may close the form. RTM for dbms_job and dbms_scheduler - that should help.

How do I stop Firefox from checking add-on compatibilty every time I start the program?

In the past 2 days, every time I start Firefox, a "What's New" tab (checking for compatibility of add-ons?) pops up in addition to my homepage tab. How can I keep the "What's New" tab from coming up? It seems like this starting happening after I updated to Firefox 6.0.
Running Windows Vista
Firefox 6.0

Firefox 8 i am on and its doing the same,very annoying,ill be going back to previous version...
do you guys at Firefox ever check your update's on any of your own computers before you release them?
might be a good idea,its the same with kylo,updates come screw everything up when they were working fine...im am a house builder,if i built houses with this many errors i'd be bankrupt by now....

Firefox will not open a browser now that I installed version 9.0.1. It runs as a process in the background. Can I go back to the previous verison?

Internet Explorer works. However I would prefer to use Firefox - if only I could get it to work.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

Had an avg problem (still unresolved) now firefox does not come up at all but something in the background is working once I clicked on it - windows XP

I had/have avg toubble and now firefox will not start. I uploaded a new version but made no difference. If I click on it the time symbol comes up for a few seconds and than nothing. When I restart the computer though a small window comes up alerting me not to end the programm till it scaned it. So I figure after clicking on it something must be running in the background. But no symbol comes up on the dectop or in the application manager.
Any ideas?
Regards Franz

How to run a safari window in the background at all times?

Ok, so you are probably wondering why I want to do this. Allow me to explain. The website twitch.tv is a streaming service for gamers, and there is a browser plugin specifically for the site called betterttv.
One feature of this plugin is that you will get a notification whenever someone you are following starts broadcasting, right in your notification center. But because its a browser plugin, and is specifically for this one website, it requires a safari window to be open with the website twitch.tv in order to push the notifications.
So my question is... how can I make a browser window stay open at all times and run in the background with this website open so that I get my notifications? I had the idea that I could retain the window even when I "quit" safari, because I can run a seperate instance of it in the form of Webkit Nightly which isnt affected by safari not being running.
But I am still oblivious as to how I would set up a window like this, and it has to start at login in addition to being running throughout the day. (I shut my Mac off at night.) Any amount of help would be appricated

I'm well aware of how to minimize thanks, and it *is* possible to have a Safari window open if you quit it, because you can run it as a separate instance by using WebKit Nightly...
I am just looking for the best way to set it up so that a WebKit Nightly window will open upon startup, navigate to that webpage, and hide itself. Preferably in the background. This could be done using a .command file or a startup script in automator. My question is.. What is the best direction to take?

How to run a server program in the background on Linux or Windows?

I just finished writing a Java network application with multiple clients and one server.
However, I am not sure how I can run the server (SomeServer.class) in the background on Windows. Also when I am running it on Linux, I don't want it to terminate when I logout of the Linux shell.
To run the server on Linux, should I use a command like this?
nohup java -cp . SomeServer.class > output.txt &
Or is there another command, or perhaps some code that I can add to the program so that it would run in the background automatically and/or continues even when I logout of the Linux shell??
Sometimes, I also like to run the program on a Windows XP machine for testing purpose. How can I do it so that it runs in the background without openning a Console/Command Prompt window??
(redirecting the standard output to a file)
And is there an easy way to create a EXE file that runs the program with the default JRE in windows?

On many UNIX systems there's a utility called detach which will launch the following command in such a manner that killing the shell will not kill the process. On systems that lack this command, I'd find an open source implementation and install it.

Random crash leaves me without a phone for the evening and more...

I've had no major problems (just minor annoyances) with the iPhone, since buying it the day it was released, until last night. I went out to the bar and was showing off the phone to some friends (surfing the web and YouTube videos) when, with just my luck, the phone resets (not the typical crash to the home screen I’ve seen). After the phone reset and began to power back on the screen said "Please Connect to iTunes." I thought this was strange as I had a fully charged battery before going out and figured that I could probably just reset the phone again to get past this. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case. At this point there was nothing I could do to get my phone working again as I'd lost ALL functionality of my device (except stylish paper weight). I thought this is just plain ridiculous as now I’m going to be stuck without a phone for the rest of the night hoping no emergency comes up where I’m going to need it (thankfully the rest of the night was to the most part uneventful). I’ve never had something like this happen, that is where I can’t use the device, to any of the previous half-dozen or so phones I’ve owned. But that was that and there was nothing I could do until I got home several hours later.
After finally arriving home I quickly connected the phone to iTunes which of course began the restore process. For the most part the process went fairly smooth but did take some time (about 10 minutes with all the verifying/restoring). During the process iTunes recognized my last backup, applied that to my phone, and reactivated the phone with AT&T. Everything was quite painless until finding out that iTunes doesn't quite back up everything which I've now found out and included a list of everything lost:
... Photos from my Camera Roll (this is the worst, lesson learned)
... Wi-Fi known networks and their passwords
... Mail account passwords
... Mail account messages (all messages had to be downloaded again)
... Calendar events that were recurring now appear twice
... All music/videos/photos had to be resynchronized
I'm still a little shocked that the phone can crash to this degree, at anytime, where you'll lose complete functionality of the device until you connect to iTunes. I mean come on what is not functioning properly that won’t allow me to restart/reset the phone? Good thing I wasn’t on Vacation or else I would’ve been totally screwed for the trip. Also, this was a lesson learned for me to backup my Camera Roll photos as I just never really thought about it before. Everything else lost was just an inconvenience in having to manually add passwords back, read/delete mail messages again, and delete duplicate recurring calendar events.
I just wanted to share my bad experience and hopefully Apple will continue to improve this device whereas it doesn't become completely useless for the evening. I still love my phone and this is by far the most trouble I’ve had with it.

Yeah, it would be nice if the backup contained a little more well backup. The Camera Roll photos should be synced or at least have an option to do so. Mail messages and passwords can't take up that much space and could easily be encrypted (again have an option to not back up if so desired). As for the duplicate calendar events I think it's just flaky with using Outlook to begin with.

Running OC4J on Linux in the background?

I am relatively new to Linux and have been trying to start OC4J either automatically or as a background process (so that I do not have to keep the terminal window open). I tried "$nohup java -jar oc4j.jar &", but OC4J still shuts down when I logout or exit the terminal. Does anyone know of a good way to start OC4J automatically or as a background process?

You've two choices:
- install public domain 'screen' program followed by
running oc4j in a 'screen' session and detach from
the 'screen'. BTW, 'screen' allows you to reattach
to an existing session of 'screen'
- Write a one line shell script and launch this script
in the background. Now when you exit from your shell
your oc4j will continue to run.

Running a database update in the background

I have a web application which needs to allow the user to
run a process in the background. The user needs the ability to
kick off a long-running process that will move data from a Sybase database to a datawarehouse. However, since the process may take up to 6 hrs, we don't want the process running on the user web browser. We just want them to click submit and then the process is kicked off and the user is notified by email when it is completed.
I tried using runtime to call a java program but, since we use JNDI to do our database lookup, I get the following error:
java.lang.Exception: Unable to get database connection in Move.moveProgram method.<br>java.lang.Exception: Unable to get DB connection in Move.initComm():<br>javax.naming.NamingException: JNDIManager::getDBConnection() getContext/lookup error: javax.naming.NamingException: java:comp/env namespace is only available from within a J2EE component
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
RM

My first suggestion would be to move the entire process out of the web server.
Secondly, don't do it is java. You can probably write a script that will extract it from Sybase in a formatted form and then load it in the data warehouse using the tools that came with it. One advantage would be that it will take significantly less time that doing it with java.
But if you must do it in java, then the client initiates a request. The server code starts a process using Runtime.exec() which is the java program. Or the process runs all the time and just waits for a request to come it to start processing (using a socket.) If you do it that way then you can run it on another box. And you don't have to figure out how to tell if it is already running.

What's the recommended way to run a WebLogic Server in the background?

I'm new to WebLogic Server and I've been looking at the documentation. There's instructions for starting and stopping servers on Linux but they all seem to rely on foreground processes. What's the correct way to run these processes in the background in a production environment? Is it just by using nohup somewhere in a script /etc/init.d/ or is there some other way I should be running it?

Meatwad,
Of course, running the WLS processes using nohup would place the process in the background. However, the recommended way to run the WLS servers on a production system would be to configure node manager and use this. This places the servers as a background process but also provides some additional functionality, that would be useful - for instance, allowing starting and stopping via the admin console and the ability to auto restart failed or stuck servers.
For more information, please consult the documentation.

How to run a JRockit process in the background(Linux ia64)

Hello,
I am trying to start a JRockit process 1.4.2 (with a Java app) from an SSH console and make it keep running after I log out. This is on Redhat Enterprise Linux WS 4 with Itanium II processor (ia64).
The obvious thing such as
java <options> <class> &
or even
nohup java <options> <class> &
Do not work and the process terminates when I log out.
Is there a recommended method or a facility to run JRockit in the background as a service/daemon? Does JRockit has switch similar to â€“Xrs of Sunâ€™s JVM?
Starting the process on system boot and having to reboot the system to restart it are not acceptable.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Zapta

Zapta did get an answer. You may have missed it if you're using nntp to access the forums, since many newsreaders don't track threads that change the subject. I recommende the using the web UI at dev2dev.bea.com.
Anyway - Use "-Xnohup" with older versions of JRockit. In recent JRockit versions, "-Xrs" works as well, since we seen problems with people hardcoding that flag into various applications launchers (Tomcat for one).
Cheers!

Running a Java application on the background

How can I run an applet on the background ? (UNIX and Windows)
Thanks!!

Running "in the background" is not really relvent on Windows as CMD[1] does not have this functionallty (that I know of) and you normally execute appliucations in the GUI, unless you are talking about making it a service, running when the user logs off (nohup in UNIX, Windows Services in windows), if thats what you are after, NT JAVA +Service in google.
[1] If you use a diffrent shell, such as Cygwin you can get this functionallity under Windows.
