Firefox hangs when reading data into a form

I built a database-driven website which allows a user to change text and pictures thru a series of text boxes in a form. Firefox can take up to 2 minutes to populate the form from the database while all other Mac browsers take just a second or two. I've reset firefox and reinstalled it and started in Safe Mode, but no changes.
I'd like to keep using Firefox but it doesn't work.

Sorry, I don't want to sound as if I was "blowing you off" ....
Are you familiar with the developer tools that are built into Firefox?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Tools_Toolbox
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools
Might help you figure out what Firefox "is choking on".
Also, a live example URL of that webpage would be helpful when you post over at the MozillaZine fora.

Firefox hangs when opening any context menu - save as, download window, options window, etc

this is the third time i've had this problem with firefox...
firefox hangs when trying to download images, files, etc. the right click context menu opens (with bookmark, save page, save image, etc options) but after selecting an option, save image or whatever, the actual save as dialogue box doesn't open and firefox locks up.
many pages say to open the download pane and clear the history... i can't do that as trying to open the download pane locks it up, too. as does trying to open any other dialogues.
the first time this happened the only solution i could find was a total wipe and re-install (simple uninstall/re-install didn't work... it had to be weeded out of the registry manually).
the second time i just happened to be rebuilding my system, so i just did a fresh install on a fresh OS.
this time i can't seem to resolve the problem with uninstall and re-install...
help?

found out what was doing it!
after trying firefox safe mode and windows safe mode and any number of other things i'd kinda given up for a bit there, but i woke from a dream in the middle of the night thinking "based on the behaviour involved it *must* be something in the shell that's causing this." (sorry, i dream in geek.)
so i grabbed a shell viewer editor - ShelleExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) (had to use an icky, lesser browser to be able to download it) and gave it a run.
i listed all the extensions by the date they were added as a clsid and tried to think back to when the problem began... about a month or so after a fresh system reinstall. and through a little trial and error disabling i found the culprit.
it was an icon overlay handler put in by something called WagerLogic. after looking into the company name i'm going to have to assume this was related to one of the annoying "come lose real money at our virtual casino" pop-ups that infest the net nefariously panning for an easy mark like dickensian orphans.
i disabled it et voila! firefox is back to full function again.

Firefox hangs when javascript is enabled; how can I fix this?

I've recently had issues with Firefox hanging when visiting many webpages. With javascripts disabled it does not crash.
Things I have tried:
Refreshing Firefox
Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox
Using safe mode (did not help, still hangs)
Updating plugins (all were up-to-date)
Interestingly, the same thing happens with the same pages using Safari, but I'm not sure what this means.

I understand that Firefxo is hanging even though you have updated. There was another security release for Flash today as they are addressing some major security issues this week.
I would recommend changing your Flash plugin to a click to play status. Go into about:plugins and click "Always Ask to Activate" for your flash player.

Merging Excel data into a form created in LiveCycle

Hello,
I've made a form in LiveCycle. The first of the 5 pages I want to pre-populate with data before I distribute the final form. My data is in Excel and I have ensured that the header titles match the field names on the form. Could someone help me to get the data into the form please. I'm pretty new to xml and have found following the Help difficult.
Thanks

Firefox hags when sending data over secure connection (ie login)

Having to post this via IE because FF hangs when sending data, such as logging in to sites.
Started happening 3 days ago. I have deleted cookies/cache, disabled all add-ons/plug-ins, started in "Safe Mode", Reset, Deleted prog files\Mozilla, uninstalled and re-installed and no improvement.
FF hangs and runs at 15% core usage. IE works fine - hence using it to post this...
When re-installed, all history/bookmarks/passwords were saved.
And help greatly appreciated.

Fill data into a form programmatically and print the form afterwards

Folks,
until recently a lab assistant took measurements and filled the data into a paper form (see attached pdf). Now we are building a test stand that does the measurement semiautomatically. The software of the test stand will be programmed in LabVIEW, of course. The test stand shall generate a printed protocol very similar to the attached pdf in future as well.
What's the best way to fill the acquired data into the form and to print the form afterwards? The form can be read by our code in either pdf or html. There is no Microsoft Office installed on the computer.
Modifying the html code? Converting the pdf to a picture and fill the data into the picture? Any hint will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Hmmm... must have misunderstood what you were saying.
XSL is a language that allows you to generate an HTML document. The XSL basically defines the style, and the XML specifies the data. HTML is the combination. You can find out more here.
Unfortunately, since you don't have Office, you won't be able to use the ActiveX interface to control Word, so that's out.
With the template in HTML format you could use the DOM for an HTML file to set the value of the HTML elements. The easiest way to do this is to use IE (I'm assuming you're on Windows here) to open the HTML template and then you can use the DOM from there. As for how feasible this is, it would depend on your HTML format. Can you post the template in HTML format?
With the template in PDF format I know that some PDF files that are forms can be generated in such a way that they still act like forms when you open them in, say, Acrobat Reader. Acrobat has an ActiveX interface so you should be able to programmatically do this, but I can't say for sure. You can check the Adobe site for more info. You just need to make sure it doesn't require the full version of Acrobat.

Import data into a form in Acrobat Pro X

Have followed directions on importing data in text format into a form in Acrobat Pro X . Does not work. Is it possible to import a large amount of data into a form and have multiple forms created? Very frustrating and disappointing.

Here's a recent topic that discusses this type of thing: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3397600
Note that some of the code that was posted isn't correct, but you will see the general approach outlined. It does require some JavaScript programming. Have you done any before?

Firefox crashes when I sign into Lastpass. Have sent a crash report many times but no resoluction

Firefox crashes when I sing into Lastpass. This started occurring several days ago, and I sent in the crash report to Firefox when I had the option. I probably sent in over a dozen reports, but the problem still exist. I am defaulting to Chrome, but prefer Firefox. Help!

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Urgent help on reading data into ByteBuffer

Hi,
I am trying to read data into ByteBuffer using SocketChannel.
The following code working fine but the problem is with ByteBuffer size.
The data varies from request to request .
How do I read data into ByteBuffer with out specifing size .
The problem with size is some records has more than 500 bytes and some are less than 500 bytes.
I want to read all the data .. ( even if it has more than 500 bytes ..)
How do i solve this problem ..
Is there any way to read data dynamically from socket channel ...
Any help on this please ...
The data I have to read is in the following format ..
XXX ... yyyyy
AAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd
etc ...
Here is my Code:
public ByteBuffer getResponse(byte[] request) throws Exception {
int lenth = 500;
InetSocketAddress isa = new InetSocketAddress("ip", port);
SocketChannel channel = SocketChannel.open(isa);
ByteBuffer requestBuffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(request);
channel.write(requestBuffer);
ByteBuffer responseByteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(length);
int num = 0;
while (num == 0 ) {
responseByteBuffer.rewind();
num = channel.read(responseByteBuffer);
channel.close();
return responseByteBuffer;
Thanks.

Two possible solutions
1. Read in as many bytes as you can until you hit the EOS OR you fill the byte buffer. If you fill the buffer (try checking for BufferUnderFlowException), you could move the read bytes into a dynamically allocated memory Collection such as an ArrayList. When you hit the EOF, you could then do whatever else you need to do from then on.
2. I use this option: Implement a site local protocol for transmitting data. Provide a header first containing 2 ints (compressed size, uncompressed size - so you can also use compression when sending), and send the remainder as a payload.
Therefore
Read in the header first (always 8 bytes)
Then extract those integer values. They will tell you how much is being sent. Set you byte buffer for the payload to be the correct size for this transmission.
Reset and wait for next connection

Firefox Hangs when profile location is Offline Files

Hi all,
We are having some problems with custom profile locations on windows 7
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -Profile "U:\Firefox\Profile"
We use the above command to launch firefox. The u drive is a drive that is ALWAYS available for all users. This drive is redirected to the home folder of the user. To sync these folders we use Offline files.
During our testing fase we had no problems at all with this method. But in the last week we receive more and more people complaining that firefox hangs. (Read: no error specific error just stops responding and windows asks to close firefox)
In my troubleshooting quest i found that as long as i don't use internet ( so not using our proxy server squid) it all works. But from the moment i try using for example google, firefox stops responding.
The tricky part is that sometimes it happens after 5 minutes, couple of hours, few days.
Once it happened after 5 minutes, the only way to solve it is to delete the profile folder on the U Drive and start over.
So any help on identifying this problem is welcome. If more info is needed let me know what you need.

When I paste into the form, it pastes 3 times. How do I get it to paste 1 time?

When I paste into the form, it pastes 3 times. How do I get it to paste 1 time? WANt to copy text from a pdf and enter into a form- 1 x.

My bet is that there are 3 copies of the same field one on top of another.
You can verify this by going to Form Edit mode and inspecting the fields
list.

Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

Importing data into dynamic form

I have not yet had a chance to work with LiveCycle, and I have been given a project which I need to determine if LiveCycle would be the correct solution. The client originally wanted this to be a Microsoft Word form, but I doubt that I can meet the requirements using Word.
I need to design a form which a user can enter multiple line items either manually, or by importing existing data. The data itself would be about 40-50 distinct pieces of data, in a block of several sections and multiple lines (i.e Name, Address block, Phone/fax/email, contact and comment section, etc) and would be a combination of text fields and checkboxes. There would be 2-3 of these blocks per page (with a static header/footer), plus a cover page with data fields for the organization using the form.
I know that I could create this type of dynamic form in LiveCycle to be entered manually, but I don’t know what options, if any, I would have in giving the user the ability to import existing data from an unknown source (could be a text file, a local or hosted database, excel, etc.).
My questions are about the feasibility of LiveCycle for this project:
Can data be imported from a data source the user chooses? Are there any limitations to what kinds of data sources can be used? Would I need to program a custom function to allow the user to match the proper fields for the import, or is there a built in function to handle this?
Would there be any platform/application limitations? Can the form be used with Reader on a desktop computer (Mac or PC), or on a tablet (and if so, is a specific app necessary instead of the default app)?
Are there any other foreseeable issues I may have to deal with?

Thanks for the info. A few followup questions if you don't mind:
1. Needs to configure an ODBC-connection on every system it is used.
This form will be sent to our client, and they will send it to their customers. Can the connection setup be scripted, or is it simple enough that a generic set of instruction can be given to the end user to allow them to setup the connection and map their fields to the form's content easily?
2. Requires Acrobat or a reader-enabled from to use in Reader. Data is automatically populated in the form fields. Only xml files for import allowed. Allows to use XSLT to format imported data.
I doubt that the end user would have their data in a compatible XML format, so this option may not be necessary. Is Reader-enabling a form in LiveCycle comparable to the process in Acrobat? I have heard LiveCycle Enterprise is very expensive and required for certain functions, does this apply here? Does this require a specific server setup for these forms?
3. Difficult scripting to update field values automatically. Works in Reader and Acrobat.
The data would not need to be updated automatically, just pull current data into the form. This would be a one-way operation, there would be no need to update the data source from values within the form. I would still need to give the user a way to map their fields to the form.
Are you aware of any tutorials or example files that would help give me a start? I had a brief look at the LiveCycle Designer ES2 Scripting Reference, but I"m not sure which objects to look into.
None of these methods will work on mobile devices as there is currently no support of XFA in Reader Mobile.
Good to know. The same is probably true if I were to create the form in Word/Office.

Problems on reading PCM into digital form

Hi,
I'm now on a project doing heart rate detection.
Due to the project just started, therefore I do not got any device to measure my own heart rate, but I will be making up some PCM(analog) data, and try to read that into digital form and give me results of the heart rate.
I'm not sure am I on the right track now or not,
what I'm doing now is trying to convert a ".wav" into bytes array, then it should give me some data, however, I'm not sure how to relate that data into heart rate.
Please leave me any comment if u think it might help please.
Thanks,
till

I'm not too sure what should be the .wav should be, however, according to this acticle I got it from the web:
_2.1 Signal acquisition_
ECG signal frequency content lies between about 0.05Hz and
500Hz and has amplitude of few mV. The acquisition is provided
to be performed in three different ways: (i) using direct electrode
measurements, (ii) using ECG equipment with analogous output;
and (iii) using ECG equipment with digital output. For the first
two cases, a sampling rate of 8 kHz is assumed. In the third case,
the acquired discrete signals are accordingly resampled.
_2.2 Modulation_
The bandwidth of the phones voice channel is limited to the
range 300Hz-3300Hz. The signal amplitude at the microphone
input should not exceed 100mV. Modulation is performed through
multiplication with carrying sinusoidal signals. Five 500Hz-wide
channels are packed within the 500Hz-3000Hz band. The
resulting signal is appropriately refined in amplitude and directed
to the modulators output.
_2.3 Digitizing, storing and sending_
The complex signal is band-limited to 3300Hz. Therefore, a
standard sampling frequency of 8 kHz is used for its digitization.
A JAVA application performs that and in order to store the signal
intact, the signal is recorded in a lossless format such as pulsecode
modulation (PCM). The WAV audio file format implements
PCM and is used to store the recorded modulated ECG signals.
Once stored, the signals can be visualized, processed and sent by
the mobile phone.
Mobile phones firmware is accessible by programming
languages as C++ and JavaTM. Most mobile phones support
JavaTM runtime called Kilobyte Virtual Machine (KVM) [6]. This
language provides the ability to build a GUI application that could
support all the stages of recording, storing and transmitting of the
ECG signal. JSR-135 contains libraries of JavaME, which are
useful for capturing audio from the microphone's port of a mobile
phone. The above mentioned platform was used to create the
application software.
_2.4 Demodulation_
The procedure of demodulation is performed at the physicians
phone, following the reverse track of modulation. A digital band
pass filter is used to separate the spectra, corresponding to the
individual ECG signals. The filtered signal was then multiplied by
the corresponding carrier frequency and filtered with a low pass
filter, resulting in the original signal. The demodulated signals can
be stored in separate WAV files in the physicians phone.
_2.5 Matlab simulations_
In order to prove the principal feasibility of the approach, the
signal acquisition, processing and transmission procedures were
simulated in MATLAB. Five preliminary recorded ECG signals
were directly loaded and used. The signals acquisition parameters
were: 8-bit values, sampling rate of 250Hz and duration 10S.
Modulation and demodulation were programmed and performed
in a numerical way. Modulation was done by multiplication of the
ECG signals with carrying sinusoidal signals of frequencies
500Hz, 1000Hz, 1500Hz, 2000Hz, and 2500Hz. The
demodulation included first separating the spectrum of each
individual signal with the help of 4-th order 400Hz-wide bandpass
Butterword filters centered on the corresponding carrying
frequency. Next the filtered signals were multiplied with the same
carrier signals and eventually filtered with a low pass 4-th order
Butterworth filter (fc=200Hz).
btw, the system need to be implement into Symbian phone at the end,
but I'm just now testing on the PC atm =)
according to this article, what kind of wav I should be using ??
thanks a lot!!!
