Firefox get disconnected after a few hours

I have Windows 7 Enterprise. With version 35 Firefox lost connection, the only way to make it work is to close it and reopen. I look for some fix in the support pages but there is no answer. The only similar issue suggests it's a firewall issue, but even if disconnect my computer firewall this still happens. At home there is a Windows 8.1 professional computer with the same issue.
I upgrade to version 36 expecting this issue is fixed but it doesn't.
I installed different windows browsers (Chrome, Iron, Tor, Opera) the only one with this issue is Firefox. Behavior make really unlikely to be a firewall issue.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Are you having the problem with one web site? Several, many?
What were you doing at the time?

  • L2TP Remote Access disconnects after a few hours.

    Have a few users on Vista/7 using Windows L2TP to connect to our ASA5510. It is reported that after a few hours the connection drops. From what I have seen this can be anywhere around 5-6 hours. Of course my connection will drop after an amount of time has passed and no traffic has passed the tunnel. But the users are adament that this drops during large transfers; i.e. not a timeout issue.
    Before I spend anymore time on this I just want to know if this is normal behavior for a remote access L2TP using Windows to disconnect on it's own after this amount of time. Never had a reason myself to remain connected that long, and when I did I used a site 2 site tunnel.

    Below is a sample log of the time when disconnects occur, I highlighted in bold the problem area.

  • Apple USB modem disconnects after a few hours??

    I bought an imac G5 -- it came without a modem. (After a false start), we bought the Apple USB modem. Now we want to upgrade the operating system, either with Safari or with "Software Update". It tells us we need Mac OS X Update to 10.4.3, and it is 97.0 MB.
    We have a fairly slow dial-up connection -- always have, so we usually download large files like these overnight. But our Apple USB Modem won't let us - perhaps it is too unstable. After 6 or 7 hours we get disconnected. (It says we need 8 or 9 hours to download the file). Our main problem is that we can't stay connected for more than 7 hours.
    I've made sure under the Network Preferences, for external modem, the Prompt every xx minutes to maintain connection, and Disconnect if idle for xx minutes, are both unchecked. I've turned off the screensaver. I make sure I move the mouse and a window every hour or so. I've phoned my ISP, and they deny a time-limit. I've tried not breating heavy near the computer.
    What else can I do? I've always been able to stay on line over-night for download with my old computer/modem, but not with this one. I've tied at least 4 times. Is there something wrong with the Apple USB Modem?
    Also, when I tried with Safari, and the modem disconnects, I thought I could just re-log on and start downloading where I left off -- but no. Every time I click the "resume downloading" circle next to the update in the download window, it starts from the beginning. -- it doesn't resume where it left off!
    That is the most frustrating part about this -- I've downloaded the first half of the file a half-dozen times, and no matter if I use Safari or Software Update, I can't get the computer to remember the hours of work it just did and simply continue downloading from where it left off. If I could just solve that issue, I could get the system update downloaded.
    If we don't solve this, we will never be able update any apple software with large files. Thanks for your help.

    it's a 3.5 hour round trip to the closest Mac store.
    I just want my modem to work right -- the first time. Actually, this is the third modem I've bought (all on-line since I have no mac store close). The first USB modem didn't have a mac driver. The next bluetooth modem said it was mac compatable, but when it arrived, it was only capatable with os9. So I get a modem right from Apple, and darn, I just want it all to work now. I'm tired of foolin around. Why wasn't there an internal modem anyway?
    My old modems and macs could download overnight. All I want is for it to be as good as the old stuff.

  • USB sticks get disconnected after a few seconds

    Hi guys!
    I got a problem with 2 of my 4 USB-Ports on my new iMac 21" (Mai 2012). To the first 2 USB-ports I hooked up my printer and my TimeMachine-HDD. The other ones I use for pluggin' in USB-datasticks . For some time now either one of these problems occur:
    The USB-Stick doesn't show up at all - or: it connects for a few seconds, but then the warning appears which says I hadn't remove a disk safely. Apparently this only happens with usb-datasticks. My external harddrives work fine on them. 
    As long as they appear for some seconds they are also regocnized by the Disk-Utility program. Once I even managed to run the Volume-control; said the stick was fine...
    This is what I already tried:
    - made sure that the sticks plugg in right (they do)
    - formatted the sticks (formatted to Mac OS Journaled extended)
    - rebooting the imac (sometimes helps for a few minutes)
    - I reset the SMC by shutting down, removing the powerplug for sometime and then booting up again (didn't change a thing)
    - I tried to connect other external devices to these USB-ports (USB-keyboard) - most of them work fine!!!
    - Thought that maybe it was a problem with MacFuse/NTFS-3G; but I have the same config on my macbook. There the problem doesn't show.
    I really do not know what to do next! I rely on the transfer of data per USB-Sticks enormously.
    Do you guys have any idea?
    Any help would be deeply appreciated.

  • Matlab routine within labview cannot get input after a few hours of use. What can be the trouble?

    I have a Matlab-within-Labview application that needs to run 30-40 times in a row. However after let's say 10 runs I get error 1047, that is, there is no communication between Matlab and Labview. I have to reset the computer to start re-running the application without problem. Note that Matlab is open on this computer all the time.

    Hello,
    The only information I could find on this from NI or MWorks is that MATLab must be running in order for LabVIEW to access the Matlab server. I would check to see if there is anything specific happening inbetween the 10 and 11th runs that causes the link between the Matlab server and LabVIEW to break, isolate where this happens and try to work from there.

  • I download a lot of music thru firefox. After a few hours, the files that I are ready for downloading, just don't download and I have to reset the same by going

    I download a lot using firefox mozilla and after a few hours, the downloads that are set in queue fail to download and I have to reset the same by going to the site and downloading the same again. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Try to use an external download manager.<br />
    Such programs usually have more options when it comes to downloading a lot of files.
    You can use the FlashGot extension to integrate an external Download Manager in Firefox.

  • Firefox taking up to 3 GB ram after a few hours

    Long story short, Firefox RAM usage gets really high after a few hours causing it to not display pages correctly (e.g. Google turns out all black at 3GB usage)
    Addons:
    Youtube Center
    Youtube Unblocker
    Web.de Mailcheck
    selectivecookiedelete
    Adblock Plus
    Plugins:
    Shockwave flash, rest is disabled
    I did not have this problem before. I moved everything from the Mozilla folder in C:/users/USERNAME/appdata/roaming to a new pc (cause Firefox Sync is shit and doesn't even host EVERYTHING in its cloud), updated to 29.0.1 and it started to get these problems. All i can do is to close it down, wait a few minutes (cause the firefox process also runs hours after i closed the actual window; I have to shut it down manually with taskmanager) and restart it again just to repeat it every 1-2 hours.
    I always love mozilla on PC (even though it's bad on Android) and am really disappointed.
    The ram usage currently is more than Final Fantasy XIV on maxed out settings (firefox.exe 322.752 K, ffxiv.exe 300.000 K)
    Fix this please, otherwise I am forced to switch to another browser.

    Even though this has indeed run down the ram usage, the problem didn't exist before the update. I saw a video wrapping up the adblock-firefox problem:
    The uploader navigated to this page: http://vimcolorschemetest.googlecode.com/svn/html/index-html.html
    Basically displays 300 i-frames, and the ram usage was at 300.000 K
    After installing Adblock Edge (EasyList Germany), the ram usage skyrocketed to 1,2 gb in a few seconds.
    Thing is, adblock basically loads the easy list to check for adverts 301 times, causing ram to be this high
    According to this blog (https://adblockplus.org/blog/on-the-adblock-plus-memory-consumption), the devs claim to have given the addon a global rule, which brings us back to Firefox 29.0.1
    I honestly think firefox has a problem there
    And for those who are interested, this is the video i was talking about:

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

    Question is which part of the heap is running out of space. It is more likely that your PermGen space is too small. PermGen is used for static variable, static and literal String values and classes as well. You can increase it with -XX:MaxPermSize=<value>. With a max heap size of 1024m a good starting value is 128m.
    Unfortunately, you're running a very old Oracle AS and a very old JDK. Newer Oracle AS or Oracle Fusion Middleware can use newer JDKs, OFM 11g (WLS 11g) loves to run JDK 1.6 and with visualvm and the visualgc plugin you can see all the private parts of the JVM.

    What operating system version, and do you have any backups of your data off the machine? TimeMachine? Option Key bootable clones? Storage? DVD's?
    A reinstall of the operating system may be in order as a last resort, so if any of these steps on these links get you into the machine, make sure to backup your personal data (Music, Pictures, Documents, Movies) off the machine to a non-encrypted  powered external drive regular storage drive (not TimeMachine as it might be corrupted too) and disconnect as soon as possible.

  • WRT54G3G/Vodafone connect card - Network loss after a few hours or sometimes days

    I have a Linksys WRT54G3G router with a vodafone mobile connectcard. I did setup the "keep alive" function to the nearest DNS servers to keep the modem alive 24/7. However after a few hours of somtimes after a few days. The modem "hangs" itselves. After a power-up of the modem it's start to work again. This modem is on a project location with no people available to reset the modem. At this moment we use a local timerswitch to reset (power off/on) the modem every 24 hour, but this is not really a solution. We're using the latest firmware. Please advise !

    Re ; WRTG3G-ST Disconnect - I am running 2.00.9 firmware with a Sprint S720 card.
    The Router disconnects from the Internet after a few minutes of operation. 
    I have set 'Auto Connect' to both auto (1000 min)  and manual. and still get the disconnect.
    Once it disconnects I cannot reconnect remotely even if I launch a browser or ping.
    Pressing the Data Card button does reconnect to the Internet.
    Some times it runs for hours.
    My 3G signal in this area is not the geatest but I would expect the router to handle that.
    Any suggestions on how to keep connected. .

  • AirPort Extreme disappears after a few hours

    So I just got myself a new APExtreme.  After a few hours of operations I have to power-cycle the device because 1) It disappears from the AirPort Utility and 2) As it does so it completely disconnects all of the itunes homesharing (and I believe all of the bonjour services disappear).  Somehow these two events occur simultaneously.   The rest of the network works fine (as a matter of fact the currents state is exactly this whilst I type this note).   I have 5 laptops and 2 mac minis all experiencing this with the Extreme.
    Any one experience something similar?

    Open up a OS X terminal window and at the prompt, type:
    ping <basestation IP address>
    ie. ping 192.168.1.1
    If you do this from the Windows boxes, the command is:
    ping <basestation IP address> -t
    It will output a ping to the router constantly and give you response rates...
    What happens when it disconnects? Do the pings time out or do you get an error saying no route found to host?

  • A few thoughts and experiences after a few hours using my new ThinkPad E440 with Win 8.1

    After waiting 36 days for my new ThinkPad to arrive, I guess I'm just "eh" about it after using it some. Here are some of my thoughts, opinions, and experiences I've had after using it for a few hours... Hope this helps other people.
    I should not be surprised because I read all the reviews, but the touch pad really sucks. I hate everything about it, the way it clicks - it's so loud and clunky! - and it's insensitivity (and I adjusted this to be more sensitive). Thank goodness for the track point. I love that thing.
    The touchscreen stopped working after a few hours of use. After I rebooted it came back. Is this a bad omen? Or did I inadvertantly turn it off? Is that even possible? I am new to Windows 8 so anything is possible.
    The touch screen, when it's working, is not very responsive. It's MUCH LESS responsive than my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android phone or my LG G Pad 8.3 tablet. This is very disappointing.
    I ran the hardware scan that is in the Lenovo Solution Center and got a warning under the category "Local Connection Test". I looked at the list of System Events and it's very long. The first application error event name is MpTelemetry. Response is "Not available". The next one is "PnPRequestAdditionalSoftware". Response is "Not available". And the list goes on and on and on for pages. I have no idea what to do about this or what it means.
    Also in the Lenovo Solution Center, under Software, there is a Critical Alert that says I never updated Windows. But I did when it prompted me to while it was first booting up and it was updating and installing things. Where it says "To update your operating system, you must run Windows Update", I click on the Launch button and it takes me to Windows Update where it says No Updates are Available. Go figure. It also says there have been 9 Windows updates made to the computer. I guess I'll have to just always ignore that Critical Alert.
    In the system tray, it says "ThinkPad OneLink Dock Detached!". I don't have a dock... So, yes, that's true, it is detached.   I'll have to hide that one.
    I realize there is a Lenovo Recovery Partition on the hard drive but I would really like to create a set of recovery disks before I start customizing this thing, installing apps, and moving my files over. I can't find anything that tells me how to do it. Under the control panel, there is the Recovery icon. The only choice there for creating recovery media is to create a Recovery Drive, not disks. I'll post a separate item to get information on this.
    On the positive side, I have had it in my lap the whole time and it's not gotten too hot for my legs. That's a big improvement on my old Toshiba Satellite Pro.
    This locating the Fn key to the left of the CTRL key decision must have been made by someone smoking crack. Why would anyone in their right mind want to do this? We've had the CTRL key on the outer left edge like, FOREVER, why move it now?? This will be something that will take me a long time to adjust to - if I ever do. I use the CTRL a lot for cutting, pasting, and formatting things in Excel and Word. It's going to be a battle. I wonder if any software exists that allows you to redefine the keys? Speaking of location of keys, I keep hitting the Page Down key when I want the Page Up key. I'm used to the Page Up key being above the Page Down key instead of to the left.
    After being told here in the forum that the fingerprint reader was not an option in the US I am pleasantly surprised to see one on my new ThinkPad.
    I use the right-click on my mouse often. For example, to open a link in a new tab instead of switching to the new URL. For some reason, when I click on the right part of the touch pad when the mouse is located over a link, it just opens the new URL instead of giving me options for opening the URL. I'll have to figure this out.
    So anyway, I guess that's more than a few things... hope this is useful to someone...

    You can change FN and CTRL key in the BIOS

  • Iphone 5s - IBM  Notes Traveler 9.01  -Unable to move messages to trash after a few hours

    I have a problem with one of my Iphone 5s users.  Everything was working with his IPhone 4S, but the phone died and so they replaced it with a 5S
    We are using an IBM Lotus Notes 9.01 Server  (latest FP patch) and Traveler 9.01 FP4 with the iphone 5 s.
    On his Iphone 5S  we install  Notes Traveler...  Everything works on it, but after a few hours  we not able  to delete messages on the IPhone.  When he clicks Delete on a message  on his Iphone,  it comes back saying it is "Unable to Move the message" 
    If I remove Traveler and reinstall it, he can delete the messages for  a few minutes or even  a few hours, but then it comes back and says it cannot move the  messages when we try to delete the email on the Iphone 5S.   The Iphone had   7.1.1 OS...  I updated it to latest Apple 7.1.2 OS on it..  Same problem.   We also have an AOL account on the Iphone ....that works fine...      All other Traveler users on Iphones  4S or 5S users are working Fine...  
    I had IBM look at it.  They did some testing and the  email deletions only appeared on the logs when   it synchronized to Traveler, but when the problem occurs...  it never did show anything in the Notes logs, about the Delete request.   They are saying it is an Apple problem.
    I even reset his IPhone 5 S to factory defaults and re-setup Notes Traveler and after a few minutes or a few hours... When he deletes a email he gets the  Cannot move the messages again.   I opened a bug report with Apple by never heard back from them.  All other functions of the email work..   He can send and receive emails...  He just cannot delete after a few hours.  I ran checks on he email database and everything comes up OK...

    That's odd.  You will probably have to contact Apple support on this one.  I'm not sure if their is a problem with your account or a server glitch at their end but in either case, they will probably have to look into it for you.  You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.
