Firefox Developer's edition lunches as a background proccess and doesn't lunch the actual browser

Hello,
I've been using firefox developer's edition for a few months now (1~2) and one day I tried to open the browser i just didn't open. The interaction is as follows :
Double-click the ff dev's icon
a very short change in the cursor to a loading state
ff dev's is added in the task manager as a background task
the browser never opens
I have tried unistalling it and istalling it again clearing all temp files etc no change
I run on a i7 @ 3.4 GHz - 12 GB Ram system with win 8.1 so probably memory issues are crossed out
As a backgroung task ff dev's takes up to 200MB of Ram and after a few seconds stabilises at 190MB
The exact same problem apeared the same time to my laptop too. It's a Dell Latitude E6510 (i5 - 4GB)

Ok. I have narrowed down the problem. It's one of the add-ons. When I deactevated all the add-ons (with ccleaner) and THEN deleted the parnet.lock file(s) both Firefox standard and dev edition astarted up normally. I will look in to the exact add-on in a few days (a week maybe). A list with the add-ons I turned off :
* Adblock Plus (Wladimir Palant)
* ChatZilla (The ChatZilla Team)
* Logitec SetPoint (Logitec Inc.)
* MEGA (Mega Limited)
* Sitebar client for Firefox 4.0.x (Bas Burger and the SiteBar Team)
* Google Update (Google Inc.)
'''EDIT :'''
And just as I hit post I start trying to narrow it down to the problematic add-on and I get it with the first hit :P
The problem was cause by :
Sitebar client for Firefox 4.0.x (Bas Burger and the SiteBar Team)

After editing an image in Photoshop it appears grayed out inside the media browser when I try to import into Facebook (ie.).
What has to be done in order for me to be able to select my edited images from Photoshop whithin any media browser?

Would you care to comment on why there is an advantage to do this little extra job?
Perhaps you don't want to hear from me, I don't know.
I'll answer just this one little question. Try to get your mind around what color management does, I promise it does make sense (outside of unexplained problems on particular computers).
You want to save your web image with the sRGB profile embedded because some Internet browsers are color managed, and with an embedded profile it's more likely someone will see your image colors just as you intended.
The assumption is that a lowly windows user with a cheap monitor and Internet Explorer will be seeing any image you save as "roughly" sRGB anyway. Tagging the image with sRGB only affects those with color-managed browsers.
You're looking for the most possible consistency for the viewing audience.

Firefox does not allow me to 'paste' url's/rapidshare links anywhere on the web browser.

I noticed this problem when I purchased a Rapidshare account. In Google i found the URL of a movie>highlight the link>copy>but the 'paste' option is blanked out (not available) when i come to paste the link in the web browser. I have tried ctrl-v and also the edit>paste but the 'paste' icon i always 'greyed' or blanked out. This problem does not occur on any other computer in the house, just on my laptop. It only occurs with rapidshare links (and similar URL's). I can not paste in the web browser nor can I paste on the rapidshare website because the paste option is not 'click-able'. I don't know what do to, please help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I just signed up to rapidshare and have the 'paste' option has never worked.

Make a background photo that will resize to the users browser size

I'm trying to create an effect like this in Iweb:
http://neistatbrothers.com/
You'll notice that the background image resizes to the browser size.
I have read threads like that say to edit the HTML from "Scroll" to "Fixed"... that doesn't seem work.
THIS website is NOT what I am looking for.

Thanks!

Thanks Wydor,
I'm trying to decode this very elegent and cryiptic answer. I am an iweb user after all so I need a few more baby steps. I'm going to try and over-communicate to clarify. This response is long, but I appreciate your help.
The link that you sent me (the way that page looks) is exactly what I am looking for.
So I'm assuming that this is the code I will need :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
And of course changing the image title and folder.
From iweb I have downloaded my "site" to a local folder where I can edit the HTML files from Dashcode 3.0.1.
The code looks like this for that page which I have titled "Blank", the Image I want to use is titled "SNV33631.jpg" :

My question are as follows
1: Where do I paste the code you gave me.
2: do I need to reformat or add modifiers like, "<" or ">" to it because it is Javascript not HTML code.
3: do I paste it in the "Index" file or the "Blank" file.
Thanks

The latest version of Firefox loads with the Ask page and doesn't retain the selected home page. How do I change this?

I downloaded the latest Firefox version. Upon loading it it doesn't retain the previous Home Page setting and always reverts to the Ask page, which is always indicated as the Home Page. This is annoying. How do I overcome this problem?

In Firefox Google Toolbar, when I click "Search" the webpage I'm on closes and I go to the new browser window . Can I keep the webpage I'm on and have the search page open to a new browser window?

When I click "Search" in the Firefox Google Toolbar it closes (it makes me leave) the web page I'm already on. I want to have the page I'm on and the new page available when I click "Search." Is this possible? Can I at least get a tab for the new page? thanks

Can't open Firefox. When I try to open, a window pops saying "Close Firefox" and "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.", and doesn't allow the application to open.

Came home to find computer restarted, which I assume is an automatic Firefox update.
When I try to open Firefox, window pops up saying "Close Firefox" and, "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."

Background processing - Linking temporary variant to the actual variant

Hi Friends
I have an issue in variants now.
We have background jobs for SDBILLDL (VF04) using many variants. When seeing the completed tasks in SM37, I see a temporary variant is created for running the program , like &000000000.When exploring table VARI, I could not get the actual variant, as it is a clustered field. I understand FM RS_VARIANTS_CONTENTS could help, but I dont have access to the tcode. Also I found SAP note 337618 in this connection, but I am still in a cofused stage.
In short, we are wondering why the temporary variants are created and how to link that to the actual variant.
Would appreciate your timely help with generous rewards. Thanks in advance.
REgds
Thyaga

TO find out the which values were used in the background job you can do this:
1. Go to SM37..
2. Select your jobs in the list..... click on the "Steps" button..
3. Put cursor on the program name ...click Go to > Variant..
It will show you the actual field values which were used at the time of running the job.

I'm editing a video in imovie '08 and adding iphotos to the movie, but some of the photos are not showing. Help

I'm editing the video of a presentation one of my clients has delivered, I'm adding the slides of the presentation in as photos from iphoto, the problem is that some of the photos are now showing up in the video even though they have been added. Also where photo number 7 should be it is showing photo number 12? I really need to sort this out and need help. How do I get the photos to show and show properly in the right place?
Thank you in advance

I've got a list of things to look at and tryout to see if we can narrow down what's happening. Try any one in any particular order see if the problem keeps happening.
1. What format are the original photos in?
Are the all the same?
If they are different, do some work and others do not?
File formats that are “raw” may be a problem.
File size may also be a problem if they are very large files.
2. Duplicate the project in the Project Library
Try dragging a photo into that copy of the project
Any differences? If you can import photos into the Duplicate, try copying then pasting into the original and see if the image shows up.
3. Duplicate a picture inside of iPhoto
If you want to have a particular picture and can find it within iPhoto try making a duplicate.
Does it show up in the Photo browser? And can you drag that duplicated picture into the project? What do you see, what result do you get?
4. Clean the iMovie cache
Quit out of iMovie. Then go to your Movies Folder > iMovie Events > Project folder name
Drag the folder "iMovie Thumbnails" to your trash. Then open the folder "iMovie Cache" and drag the file "Cache.plist" to the trash.
This should regenerate any cached thumbnails for the project, may be helpful.
5. Try tossing out the iMovie preferences
Quit iMovie.
Open a Finder window to your user's Home folder>Library >Preferences folder. Find the file named "com.apple.iMovie.plist" or "com.apple.iMovieAppl.plist" and move it to the trash.
Try opening iMovie again, then opening the project and dragging a photo from the Photo Browser into the Project timeline.

Most recent version of Mozilla Firefox (Windows 7 64 Pro) will open but not display any content in the open browser window.

After logging into Laptop, Win 7 64bit Pro and launching Mozilla Firefox the browser window opens but the content is blank or black. Mouse over produces change and the only thing I can get to display is when I click in the area the Config/Setup icon would be on the tool bar.
Even uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest versions of Firefox but still getting the exact same results. Yesterday there were many Windows Updates applied to my computer but after rebooting post updates, Firefox was working fine for the entire day and evening.

hello spitcher, other users with this problem all had an embedded intel hd3000 graphics card with an old driver present. in case this also applies to you, here would be a link to update the driver, which in turn should also address the black firefox problem: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23764 (for win7 64 bit)
in case this doesn't solve the issue or does not apply to your system, start firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

When I click on the Firefox icon to open it, it does not open and comes up with the crash reporter. This happens every time I open or restart friefox. what should I do?

Firefox keeps crashing. I can't get it to open to do any of the troubleshooting steps. I have run Malware and there are no viruses. I have re-installed the latest version and still occurs.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

"Edit in Photoshop CC" launches Photoshop, but doesn't open the image.

I'm working on a Mac with Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. When I select "Edit in Photoshop CC" from Lightroom, Photoshop launches, but the image doesn't open up. What is going on? This is a new problem since loading Lightroom 5 & Photoshop CC - it worked normally on my machine with previous versions.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've been dealing with this problem for almost a month now and still no solution. Here's what I've tried:
- Installed PS 2014 with pre-existing PS CC and LR 5.5 with pre-existing LR 5.4. Then...
- Uninstalled LR 5.5 and PS 2014, reinstalled PS2014 first, LR second. Didn't work.
- Did the opposite - reinstalled LR5.5 first, PS2014 second. Didn't work.
- Removed PS CC and LR 5.4, reinstalled LR 5.5 and PS 2014 (in both orders). Didn't work.
- Removed everything Adobe from the computer:
   - Creative Cloud, PS CC, PS 2014, LR 5.4 and 5.5
   - Deleted everything I could find relating to PS CC, PS 2014, LR 5.4 and 5.5.
   - Ran AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe to remove all traces.
   - Reinstalled Creative Cloud, PS 2014 and LR 5.5. Didn't work.
   - Uninstalled PS 2014 and LR 5.5, reinstalled in reverse order. Didn't work.
One clue to the problem I stumbled across by accident leads me to believe the problem is something to do with ACRaw. If I try to open a JPG in LR 5.5 it opens fine in PS 2014. However if I try to open a RAW file (Nikon's NEF format) I get the "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 could not be launched" message.
This is driving me buggy. Without the ability to go back and forth between LR and PS, the whole workflow is ruined.
Any new thoughts?
Thanks, EdB
