Firefox generates a lot of webtraffic. What may be wrong?

My Firefox regularly generates a lot of web-traffic. While not page is apparently downloading, it continuously downloads something with speed around 50-60,000 B/sec, as the Resource Monitor shows. When I make it work offline, the traffic stops. I don't think it is updates. I can't really say more as I have no clue what may be the reason. Thanks.

  • TS3274 My ipad2 is not responding..I want to restart it but i can get nothing but a black screen with only the apple logo and a small gear icon. It occasionally beeps but no other response.  Any ideas as to what may be wrong and what I can do?

    My ipad2 is not responding..I want to restart it but i can get nothing but a black screen with only the apple logo and a small gear icon. It occasionally beeps but no other response.  Any ideas as to what may be wrong and what I can do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPad fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Lost internet connection via time capsule, wireless signal grayed out. What may be wrong?

    My mac mini started intermitently losing connection to the Internet. Checked settings, look OK, no changes. Wireless signal icon in the menu bar is sometimes full sometimes grayed out (no connection at all). Other computers connecting via the same Time Capsule without any problems. I've serched forums and tried some suggestions to no avail. My mini is core 2 duo 1.83 GHz, 2GB RAM. Snow Leopard up to date.
    What may be wrong?

    Well, I reset the TimeCapsule to factory settings and configured it again for my home network and all works like a charm again.

    You are correct, there is no flash player on the iPhone, find an alternate browser that may be able to help your quest.
    Or use the corresponding app in the App Store.

  • Mac book pro is very very slow/it hangs for even the smallest tasks/even with the lid closed it is still running if it is not completely turned off. Dose any one know what may be wrong ? and how to fix it?

    More details about the problem : My computer is a Mid 2012 Mac Book pro 2.9GHz i7 processor with 8GB RAM updated to OS X v10.8.5
    - I ran a compleet scan of my computer for any threats ( I used virus barrier express ) and there was nothing identified
    - When I oppened the Activiti Monitor there are about 20-30 processes which I do not undersatand they are run under the user "root" 2 in perticular ( Kernel_task & fseventsd ) they both take up a lot of threads and kernel_task is constantly using 1.2 GB of "real memory" which is at least 20 times any other process that is running espesially the ones that run under the user "Apple" I do not know if this is causing the problems on my mac but i tryed to forces close it and it dose not even let me click the button, the others close but reopean immideatly. I will attach a screen shot of what i have mentioned here.
    - The problems I am facing are mainly performance :- To state a few examples, my mac dose not seam to be able to handile even the smallest tasks like switching tabs on safari, typing any thing, playing a movie withought stopping inbetween, etc.. ( let me elaborate on why I said its not able to handil these tasks, it is because when I am trying to do any one of the afformentioned tasks inbetween the cursor becomes a rainbow collered spinning disk and I am unable to do anything for about 10 seckonds after which it starts to work again for some time before it happens again. )
    - Another concern of mine is that my mac seems to be on even with the lid closed if I do not shut it down compleetly, if i just close the lid after some time the computer starts warming up, and the fan starts running. the battery is drained at the same rate or slightly less rate than it would have if i was using it normally with the lid opean. ( altough this is happning the screen dose not turn on untill the lid is opean again )
    - I have only 300+ GB full out of my 750GB so i believe these are not issues caused by my mac's memory being full ( BUT THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS WAS HAPPNING WAS WHEN MY MEMORY WAS ABOUT 720GB FULL WHEN THESE ISSUES FIRST AROSE I IMMEADITLY DELEATED 400+GB OF MY USELESS FILES THAT I HAD BEEN HORDING ALL OF WHICH WERE MOVIES ) that about covers it all PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
    Ps: I apoligize if I have given too many unrelevant details, not enough usefull information and or if i was just all over the place with my explanations but I am really frustrated and was hoping not to miss anyting. Please let me know if any information at all is required and ill do my best to provide it.

  • My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker, like a colour burn but also a bit washed out. Can anyone advise what may be wrong before I take it for repair?

    My 27inch i Mac screen has gone darker all of a sudden. It's almost like a colour Burn and it's also washed out. Can anyone advise what the problem may be before I take it for repair?

    Check the settings in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Display.
    It's possible to alter some of those settings accidently by hitting the wrong key combinations.

  • I realize that when on the internet I cannot minimize the window, can you tell me what may be wrong?

    When I am on the internet I cannot get the site to minimize, what can be the problem?

    I've tried what Chris M-V said and that doesn't work.  Mine stopped working properly right after my warranty expired:( of course!  Was hoping someone had an answer.  I surely hate to have to take it to someone and have to pay for it to be analyzed and fixed!  My computer isn't even a year old.

  • Does anyone have an idea what may be wrong with my iphone 4S?

    My iphone 4S has started turning itself off completely.  When I power it back up, it allows me to log in my code and when I push the enter button it turns itself completely off again.  I am trying to decide if it can be fixed or should I just buy a new iphone?  This AM it is working just fine??????
    If anyone knows or has a guess as to what is wrong with it, I would appreciate your input.

    Restore your phone, as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    DO NOT restore from backup, rather sync your content back to your phone. If doing this doesn't fix things, you most likely have a hardware issue.

  • Any hints on what may be wrong with this GROUP BY statement?

    Hi,
    I am testing the code below suggested on this site. When I tried it code and during my CHECK, and it gets to the GROUP BY line, and jumps back to the SELECT statement with the following message (even though DATE2 is in the GROUP BY statement):
    E:The field "/BIC/AODSSSS00~DATE2" from the SELECT list is is
    missing in the GROUP BY clause. is missing in the GROUP BY clause. Is
    missing in the GROUP BY clause. is missing in the GROUP BY clause. is
    I have played around, changing DATE2 in the GROUP By line with /BIC/AODSSSS00~DATE2 or /BIC/AODSSSS00-DATE2 or /BIC/DATE2, but still I get likewise.
    loop at RESULT_PACKAGE into wa_RESULT_PACKAGE.
    SELECT NUM ITEM /BIC/DATE1 DATE2 sum( QTY ) as QTY
    INTO corresponding fields of table it_TABLE1
    FROM /BIC/AODSSSS00
    where /BIC/DATE1 <= wa_RESULT_PACKAGE-DATE2
    AND NUM = wa_RESULT_PACKAGE-NUM
    AND ITEM = wa_RESULT_PACKAGE-ITEM
    GROUP BY NUM ITEM /BIC/DATE1 DATE2.
    wa_RESULT_PACKAGE-/BIC/AONTIMQTY = sum.
    MODIFY RESULT_PACKAGE from wa_RESULT_PACKAGE.
    Endloop.
    Thanks

    I am not totally clear on what you want to achieve.  But please look this code over and see if it is closer to what you want to do.
    I changed your workarea to a field-symbol, which are a little more convenient to use.  <result_fields> is already defined for you in your end routine.
    I used tables and fields that exist in our system, but you should be able to translate those back to your system.
    Please let me know if you need more help.
    LOOP AT result_package ASSIGNING <result_fields>.
      SELECT me_order_n me_itemno serv_date SUM( /bic/znosubasp ) AS /bic/znosubasp
      INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF it_table1
      FROM /bic/azmord2d00
      WHERE serv_date <= wa_result_package-serv_date
      AND me_order_n = wa_result_package-me_order_n
      AND me_itemno = wa_result_package-me_itemno
      GROUP BY me_order_n me_itemno serv_date.
        <result_fields>-me_quanti = it_table1-/bic/znosubasp.

  • I keep getting a "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" message and firefox does not open. WHat is wrong and how do I fix?

    I uninstalled Firefox from my computer, then I reinstalled it and tried to run it, but this message appeared, "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" and Firefox does not open at all.

    hello davidrusso71, press windows-key+R on your computer and open ''%appdata%\Mozilla\'' - an explorer window should come up, in there rename the folder labelled "Firefox" to something like oldFirefox. on the next start of firefox this should lead to a new profile being created...
    you might want to import some of your old data into the new profile afterwards: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]

  • Get your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible after install. Profile.ini isnt installed at all. Forums no help.

    I have installed the latest version of Firefox on my windows XP Pro 32 bit box 3 times and uninstalled 3 times to fix the message that the Profile is missing and your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. I am admin on the box and I can install the download and remove it all day long but I can't get the profile.ini to be created. I've looked at all the forums and they don't address the missing profile at all or that it never gets created. I really need this to work as IE won't work for me.

    There is no Mozilla folder created under appdata only roaming and several other program files underneath that.
    Then perform the steps I described for the ''Roaming'' folder instead.
    If the problem persists, please mention what security software you have (antivirus, firewall, etc.). Are you by any chance using software that might automatically lauch applications in a sandbox, like Avast?

    I don't know who you emailed, given that Mozilla doesn't provide tech support via e-mail. If you're referring to the notification e-mails from this forum, they only serve to let you know a reply has been posted. You need to click the “See the comment” link in the message to reply.

    If there was anyway to import the profile.ini I would.
    You could manually create the folders and the ''profiles.ini'' file, but without solving the underlying problem, you're likely just run into some other issue instead. If you insist on going about it this way, this is what you'd do:
    <br>1. Click the '''Start''' button on the taskbar and choose '''Run'''.
    <br>2. In the box that opens, type ''%AppData%'' and press Enter.
    <br>3. In the folder that opens, create a new folder called ''Mozilla''
    <br>4. Open the Mozilla folder and inside it create a new folder called ''Firefox''
    <br>5. Start Notepad, paste the following as its contents, then save the file as ''%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini''
    <pre><nowiki>[General]
    StartWithLastProfile=1
    [Profile0]
    Name=default
    IsRelative=1
    Path=Profiles/2dzy4k7u.default
    Default=1</nowiki></pre>
    6. Inside the Firefox folder, create a new folder called ''Profiles''
    <br>7. Inside the Profiles folder, create a new folder called ''2dzy4k7u.default''
    <br><br>
    When launching Firefox, it will then attempt to populate the blank profile folder with data files (bookmarks, history, cookies, and so on). If you still have the permissions issue, I expect it will fail to do so.

  • How to check user/session generating a lot of archivelogs?

    Hi,
    On a 10g database, How do i look for the user/session that is generating a lot of archivelogs?
    thanks in advance,

    For currently connected sessions, you could query V$SESSTAT (joining to V$STATNAME). Thus,
    select s.sid, s.value
    from v$sesstat s, v$statname n
    where s.statistic#=n.statistic#
    and n.name = 'redo size'
    order by 2
    /However, there are a few complications :
    1. Persistent Sessions will show up with very high statistics, simply because they haven't disconnected. Many applications maintain Persistent Sessions for either of
    a. Monitoring and Running User Submitted or ScheduleD Jobs (eg in Oracle EBusiness Suite or Peoplesoft)
    b. Connection Pooling
    2. Sessions that have already disconnected will not appear in your report.
    Therefore, you'd have to "sample" sessions frequently and find the incremental redo size. Then, another complication hits you :
    c. Oracle reuses Session IDs. Once a session disconnects, another connecting session may get the same SID. It wouldn't get the same SERIAL# immediately so you might want to use a combination of SID+SERIAL# from V$SESSION as your key (you'd have to add V$SESSION into your monitoring query) Even then, I wouldn't guarantee that the pair wouldn't repeat after some time, particularly with instance restarts.
    You'd be better of using AUDSID from V$SESSION as that value is incremented (and not reused) by session auditing.
