when clocing Firefoc 3.6 it is not killing of the firefox.exe and therfore running at 50% resource in the background. It has only started doing this since i updated to the new version 3.6.14
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

  • Firefox Proxy Fail-over is not working correctly

    I am in a corporate environment, where we must use a complex auto-proxy, by configuring an automatic proxy configuration of http://proxyconf/proxy.pac. I am seeing an intermittent failure with Firefox 3.6.13, where the same site will load after a delay in IE (e.g. it works for half an hour, then fails for a while, etc.).
    By using Wireshark and tracing the packets, I have identified that a proxy server is intermittently failing, and Firefox is failing to try the second proxy. The auto proxy rule that is being invoked is:
    if (!isResolvable(host)) return "PROXY 172.16.39.201:8080; PROXY 10.241.32.28:8080";
    The problem is that Firefox is never failing over - it tries the 172 address 6 times in a row, then gives up and displays the "The proxy server is refusing connections" "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." "* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct." "* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working." error message. It continues with this behavior regardless of how many attempts, reloads, restarts are tried.
    IE on the other hand will try and fail with the 172 address, and then start using the 10. address (which works correctly). Several other applications also work correctly, such as IRC clients.
    Obviously the corporate proxy that is failing must be fixed, however Firefox is failing to utilitize the 2nd proxy after the first one fails.
    Seems like a bug.
    Is there some easy way for me to replace the proxy file with my own file? E.g. replace http://http://proxyconf/proxy.pac with file://c:\..., or use some add-on?
    It must be an autoproxy script, as there is no single proxy that I can use for all addresses.

    You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />
    That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

  • Firefox 12 failed to restore my previous session!

    Hi there!
    Well, last night I shut down my computer from the Start menu in Vista. I believe I had closed Firefox manually before I proceeded with the shut down. I don't think it has anything to do with the way you exit Firefox, but I'm just saying it.
    I usually have several tabs open in Firefox, this time I had about 50 of them and every time I close Firefox it prompts me if I want to save the tabs. I don't think this is a default setting, I think I set this up myself. So I just click the option which saves my tabs so that the next time I start Firefox I can continue where I left off.
    I believe I clicked the save button last night as well. But today I started up Firefox and the tabs were gone.
    I did follow the procedure for restoring the last session as described here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20does%20not%20ask%20to%20save%20tabs%20and%20windows%20on%20exit?s=Firefox+12+failed+to+restore+previous+session%21&r=1&e=es&as=s
    But the thing is I don't have the option to restore last session when I go to Firefox button and History.
    Also, I have started and closed Firefox since that several times. So this restore option might only just restore the last tab I closed anyway. As described...
    ''If you close each window or tab, only the final window or tab that you closed will be available when you restart Firefox.''
    Why did Firefox forget to restore my tabs?...
    This happened to me once before but I don't remember how I restored the tabs.
    And also, it happened once that Firefox failed to prompt me if I want to save my tabs, and instead prompted me with a whole different dialog, the one where it warns me that I'm about to close all open tabs and asks me to confirm.
    There was no way around it so I intentionally ''crashed'' the computer, knowing that once I log on to Windows and start Firefox again it will restore my tabs automatically whether it wants to or not. And, of course, this proved to be true, all my tabs were back.
    But did I really have to ''crash'' my comptuer for this? Maybe I could have crashed only the Firefox by terminating it's process... but it works either way. One time it asks, one time it doesn't ask to save tabs. Completely disregarding the settings! There is something seriously wrong here!
    After that first incident I was again able to save my tabs on exit, it always asked me to save them from that point on, as I would expect it to. Until now...
    Now it asks me if I ''want to'' save my tabs, and I say ''yes please'', just to find out the next morning it didn't restore them, as if they never were saved. Haha! LOL! Ridiculous! Haha, that Firefox 12! :) What a clown!
    As mutch as this is a call for help in restoring those tabs, it is also a reminder to Firefox developers that something really stinks here! You need to work out the session save and restore mechanism in Firefox 12. Unluckily for me I had not installed the Session Manager extension. That's one tool that does better what Firefox should do by standard.

    Yeah, if the tabs were not restored then unfortunately sessionstore.bak was overwritten. But you're taking it surprisingly well. :) Most people are pissed beyond belief, which is expected. :P
    Also let me clear up the confusion between sessionstore.js & sessionstore.bak. Sessionstore.bak is the backup file that Firefox makes after every shutdown of Firefox. Sessionstore.js is the main file that stores all the data about tabs, app tabs and recently closed tabs & windows.
    You can backup either one of these files but, like you did, it's best to check the modified timestamp on both files and most importantly their sizes. It will let you know how old that file is and the bigger the size of the file, the better. A 2kb file likely has 1 or 2 tabs, where a 500kb one has around 20 tabs or more.
    But to keep it simple, just backup sessionstore.js.
    And yes, great idea about Shadow Copy. I've used it on Windows 7 and it really is a life saver. I found it had around 20 or 30 backups for the places.sqlite which I was trying to recover. You could try to implement it on Vista with 3rd party software, I'd just read some reviews first.
    Or you could install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager addon] we both discussed earlier. Unless you think adding that add-on is overkill or you don't want to weigh down Firefox with another addon? But in this case, I think it does do what you want, which is backup your sessionstore.js everyday or every few days. I think the setting is customizable.
    I'm praying for the day they create a "sessionstorebackups" folder like they have for the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. That way we can have a better chance to recover the tabs.
    '''Edit:''' You replied while I typed this. But great work! I didn't know Shadow Copy kept backups of files on Vista even though the service wasn't running. Anyway that's great news. And I see you'll be using Session Manager from now on. :D
    And thanks for clearing up the part about Firefox prompting you to save your tabs at closing. I haven't seen Firefox do that in a while (the last version that showed that prompt was maybe 3.5?) so I was wondering what was going on there. :) Take care and have a good one!

  • Create MasterDetail together - JBO-25030: Failed to find ...owning entity

    Hi All,
    (ADF Faces + BC, jdev 10.1.3 su 5)
    I have a master-detail data entry in one page. The requirement is when I press Create button, I want to create both Master & Detail (composition) rows together.
    Master-Detail has association. Master PK is sequence, detail FK is Number.
    So I code my backing beans :
    public String createMaster_action() {
    BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    OperationBinding operationBinding =
    bindings.getOperationBinding("Create");
    Object result = operationBinding.execute();
    if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
    return null;
    else
    createDetail();
    return null;
    I get this error :
    1. JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.InvalidOwnerException, msg=JBO-25030: Failed to find or invalidate owning entity: detail entity SalesorderD, row key oracle.jbo.Key[-5 ].
    2. JBO-25030: Failed to find or invalidate owning entity: detail entity SalesorderD, row key oracle.jbo.Key[-5 ].
    How to solve this problem ?
    Thank you for your help,
    xtanto

    Hi xtanto,
    Perhaps you need to use "CreateInsert" instead of "Create" to create the master record. You can change this simply by editing the pagedef, double-click the "create" binding, and change it to "CreateInsert"
    Hope this helps,
    John

  • Firefox 4 fails on autoupdate at gov rdr weather page

    MAJOR. Firefox 4 fails on autoupdate at gov rdr weather page--
    It is fine at initial load, but when it updates (adding another image at the end of the loop), it stops after going part way through the reload. Uses java. The previous images still play underneath. Worked in FF3.
    Repeatable.

    I filed a bug report at Bugzilla at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ . The bug number is 667399. It turns out that this bug was reported earlier in June of 2010 as 572801. Then Firefox 4 would have been in use. My report shows the same bug also is active in Firefox 5. Several confirmed the original bug and suggested why it happened. However apparently nothing was done during the Firefox 4 era. Could it be that difficult to correct the problem? Several other current browsers, even including IE9, do not have this problem. Someone needs to twist the tail of that Firefox to get it to correct the bug :-). Or perhaps Firefox 6 should be a special update just to correct unresolved bugs.

  • Firefox keeps opening itself on it's own after PC startup

    Two days ago I encountered this problem. Each time my PC would start, FireFox would open itself on it's own and display the home page. I tried scanning the system with Avast! Antivirus and MalwareBytes AntiMalware, but nothing has been found. Could it be that some of the add-ons are forcing Firefox to do so, or do I have some sort of malware that my AV programs can't find?

    I looked under both locations, and found nothing. When I typed in msconfig in Start>Run..., I checked System Configuration Utility, and found one process that puzzled me... http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/3281/wuththehell.jpg
    I unchecked it and closed the window after saving, but didnt restart. Later on I decided to take a look at it again, and when I opened the window, the process was gone.

  • Firefox download fails if interrupted

    My computer is far from my router, so it disconnects frequently for short periods of time. When downloading files, if I notice that I have disconnected before Firefox does, I pause the download, and continue it when I reconnect. However, if I do not, it gives the message: "", and am forced to redo the download from the beginning. A similar issue was addressed in this ticket ([https://support.mozilla.org/questions/913829]). I will try this solution next time the error occurs, but I believe that firefox should integrate a retry mechanism (or at least, button) at this stage for the user to select once the internet connection has been re-established, to continue downloading from the point reached before disconnection (as pausing before firefox gives this error does not interrupt the download).

    Your first step should be to update Firefox, [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]. There are known bugs in the older versions of Firefox that are fixed in the most recent version.
    You may be able to find an add-on to improve the download process at [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org]

  • Often, Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted.

    Hello,
    Often, the Firefox app will close, but the underlying Windows process will not and cannot be stopped via Task Manager. When this happens, Firefox can no longer be used...the system must be rebooted. This happens especially when many apps are running but even though there are plenty of memory resources available.
    I have tried to find if something is using Firefox in the background, but have no way to know what that would be.
    Their are no apparent viruses detected.
    Firefox is version v5.0 and occurred in earlier release.
    System is Windows 7 (64bit).

    well, it's not the same hardware and it's a bit different.
    I managed to pass that stage somehow but I still have a problem
    I don't use the built-in creator tool that comes with Spyrus as it doesn't know how to append a pre-staged media that was created by SCCM that should apply the Windows file system to a second partition and the WinPE to the first partition.
    I managed to do everything. my only problem is that the WTGCreator that comes with SCCM 2012 R2 creates the 350MB partition with FAT32 file system.
    when I boot from the device I get the WinPE, I can choose a task sequence and then it fails when trying to apply the wim file. the error tells me that the 350MB partition is FAT32 which is not supported (even though it chooses the second partition, which
    is all the rest of the disk space)
    what I did was adding another task that converts the 32 Fat partition to an NTFS partition and then the process continues and finishes successfully! but that's a workaround.
    I'm trying to make this process as smooth as possible without having additional steps

    Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

  • How do I stop Firefox from thinking it crashed and doing a recovery when forced to use Windows Task manager to close a bad URL that I never want to go back to?

    Long question, I know :~) There are web sites that I may visit that will not allow me to exit the site, so I use Alt-Ctrl-Del in Windows to start the Task Manager and force the site to close by ending the program. The new version of Firefox (31.0) thinks that Firefox crashed and send me right back to the source of my problem.
    Your documentation for this process is as follows:
    After a crash
    Due to unexpected issues such as problems with a website, software errors, or an accidental loss of power, Firefox may unexpectedly close. In these situations, Firefox can restore the pages that you were visiting when it is restarted. Firefox will automatically restore your previous session, the first time you launch it after a crash.
    If Firefox crashes a second time, the Restore Session (i.e. "Well, this is embarrassing") page will appear when you next launch Firefox.
    ...and this is what I found trying to stop this process. Next, when I am forced to use Task Manager to close Firefox a second time to stop a badware site, then the 'Well this is embarrassing' dialog appears and I am finally safely away from the URL.
    I do not want Firefox automatically sending me back to a problem site.
    Thank you for any procedure you can suggest to stop Firefox from restoring problem web pages, Art Clapton

    I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
    Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
    Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
    If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
    No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?
