Firefox launching from temp folder after update

Not sure if this is completely normal or not, or if it's even a problem. After updating from 3.6.26 to firefox 10 my firefox, according to an antivirus log, kept launching from a temp directory like appdata\local\temp\(randomtextstring).tmp\nonlocalized\firefox.exe instead of its normal program files (x86)\mozilla firefox directory. Trying to delete history each time i'd get 10+ plugin-container.exe's popping up, forcing me to close firefox because it would just hang. I decided to just reinstall firefox 3.6.26 however I am still seeing that it is starting from a temp folder, even though the startup path is located at program files (x86)\mozilla firefox. firefox.exe in task manager is located in
program files (x86)\mozilla firefox, but according to the log I'm looking at it starts and exits from appdata\local\temp\(randomtextstring).tmp\nonlocalized\firefox.exe
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I'm just curious if this means it has not installed properly or if this is completely normal.

I reinstalled 3.6 after I was having problems with 10. I already tried another reinstall and it does the same thing.
Earlier I received a firefox message that a new version of 3.6 was available (3.6.26) so I upgraded. I saw then in the log that firefox was launching as firefox.exe moz-callback or something, so i decided just to upgrade to the newest version of firefox, that's when I started seeing it launch from the improper directory.
The log I am reading from simply shows ALL .exe's that have launched and closed in order, showing it's location path, and what program opened/closed it. The temp directory and the random text string.tmp file it shows it's launching from is a random folder created by firefox during the installing and setup process. Firefox itself starts and exits perfectly fine and doesn't continue running in the background. I'm thinking it's either a logging problem with the AV's execution history log or something was wrong during installing, even though it happens each time I reinstall.

  • Cannot print from web sites after update to FF 7.0.1

    cannot print from web sites after update to FF 7.0.1
    Printing from my email account (Cox) is OK
    System Windows Vista

    When my wife updated Firefox to version 7.0.1 she was no longer able to print items from the web such as coupons. She can print from her email (Cox) account.
    She is running Vista.
    When I updated to Firefox 7.0.1, I did not have a problem. I am running Vista also.
    Tried using the Firefox help page but no help so far.
    I did notice that on her computer in the "Plugins" for Firefox that HP Smart Web Printing is now disabled and is not compatible with Firefox 7.0.1. She had no problems until she did the update.

    updated to Lion, from snow leopard after updating all necessary programs & system, recieved emails saying it was successful changing to icloud but can i access iclound No - nothing works! webmail & mail - also reset password.

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.

    amyhs, thanks for those details. This is certainly quite odd that this has been going on so long and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. Now, you stated that you have reached out to technical support and spoke with a tier two technical support representative. At this time, what actions or troubleshooting steps were taken? Are you aware if a ticket with our network technicians was ever created? As well, have you ever previously had an iPhone and are you aware if the users that are unable to message you are using iMessage?

  • I'm from India and after update i can't turn off my 3G or i have the option to turn on/off LTE only. I don't want to be always on 3G because my battery is running out of life.

        I'm from India and after update i can't turn off my 3G or i have the option to turn on/off LTE only. I don't want to be always on 3G because my battery is running out of life.

    This is the same as what happened to customers in most of the rest of the world in a past release, and it's because carriers want to stop supporting older transport methods.
    There's nothing you can do about it other than complain to your carrier, as they're likely the ones who asked Apple to remove the option.

  • Apps moving from folder after update

    Long time question really.. why do some apps jump out of their folder after an updat and others dont? is it something i can stop or is it an app thing or something else?

    Well I feel like a real idiot because I just realized my problem is that Applications was no longer checked in my Preferences to Show. For some reason the update unchecked it, plus it wants to run the Setup every time I start now.
    But at least my Apps are there.
    I do have the manual, btw. Thanks.

  • Unable to send or receive text from another iphone after updating ver 7.02

    Before updating ver 7.02 I was able to send and receive text to any cell phone. After updating to ver 7.02 can no longer send nor receive any text from any iphone 4 or iphone 5. Can send and receive to/from an old iphone 3 and to any non-iphone but not iphone 4 or 5. Tried updating iTunes then restore phone from backup, no change. Deleted apps that were no longer being used and transferred all my pictures on phone to a folder on computer then deleted then out of iTunes. Tried restoring again, once again no change.
      Not having any idea what else to try, went to AT&T store for help. Pretty much got a shrug of the shoulders with the response of yep, a lot of texting problems after 7.02 update. No help at all.
    Anybody else have or had this issue? If yes,  what did you find causing the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the response. I tried so many things forgot to list that I did try turning off iMessage, reset network and turned network back on- no change. Also forgot to mention it's my wife's phone, I'm more old school. If I need to talk to somebody, I just call since I already have a phone in my hand. That's my solution to the problem but she doesn't think so. LOL. Also tried hard restarting several times, didn't make any difference. I am still fiddling around with it, if I come up with anything I will post it.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • DMS: Documents opened in edit mode(CV02N) are not deleted from Temp Folder

    Hi All,
    My query is whenever i edit documents like word,pdf or autocad files in cv02n, it make a copy in my c/windows/temp folder but doesnot delete them when it close the transaction. i have given PC data carrier with path as %Temp% & in profiles i have defined the path as c/windows/temp/
    So is there any solution by which the files opened in the edit mode will be deleted when i close the transaction or else after some specified time it should get deleted from the temp folder. Is there any standard configration for it.
    Note: I have tried the 741388 note but it is only for display mode documents.
    Regards
    Nishant.

    Hi Nishant,
    unfortunately this is the standard behavior as for editing the application need a
    temporary file and this file is still stored after closing the application to enable a re-checkin in the future too.
    So the only possibility is to delete the temporary files from C:\Windows\Temp after some time manually. There is no functionality in the system standard as the SAP system has no control on the windows folders. 
    To achieve a very similar behavior you can set the "Delete after checkin" flag in transaction DC30 for this applications and see if this will meet your requirements.
    This flag means that the original file gets deleted after you check them into a storage category. Maybe this could be usefull.
    Best regards,
    Christoph

  • Documets remain in temp folder after viewing localy in SAP  DMS

    hi,
    The wheever user view any docs using cv02n/cv03n the documetns are temporaly stored in user local temp folder.
    as the documetns are still there after log off  from SAP.
    this way imp files are visible to other user.
    is there any way to delete the file when we logoff from sap
    Shiv

    Hi Shiv,
    if you are using ECL Viewer or Office Integration for displaying originals in CV02N/CV03N you can use the OLE2 flag which is mentioned in SAP note 741388.
    If you are using an external Viewer (%AUTO%) the OLE2 flag is not working.
    As possible solution I can only offer you the following possibility.
    Some time ago we developed a special solution for another customer
    with the help of an implementation of BADI DOCUMENT_FILES01.
    There exists the BAdI method DOCUMENT_FILES01~AFTER_START_APPL .
    You can have an implementation like this, which might help to solve
    your problem. This deletes the file even when the user is viewing
    the file. So no copy will be left on the PC of the user.
      method IF_EX_DOCUMENT_FILES01~AFTER_START_APPL .
      DATA :
             l_str_file  TYPE string,
             l_i_retval      TYPE i.
      l_str_file = TARGET_FILE-FILENAME.
      CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_delete
            EXPORTING
              filename             = l_str_file
            CHANGING
              rc                   = l_i_retval
            EXCEPTIONS
              file_delete_failed   = 1
              cntl_error           = 2
              error_no_gui         = 3
              file_not_found       = 4
              access_denied        = 5
              unknown_error        = 6
              not_supported_by_gui = 7
              wrong_parameter      = 8.
    endmethod.
    I hope this solution may help to solve this issue.

  • How to launch adobe illustrator 6 after updating to yosemite os

    After updating my Mini (mid 2011) OS to Yosemite, Adobe Illustrator CS6 has launch error: To open Adobe Illustrator cs6.app you need to install the legacy java SE6 runtime. I attempted to install but each time Java SE6 runtime is downloaded it shows up as a damaged file. Now what?

    you can go to:
    Macintosh HD ▸ Applications ▸ Adobe Illustrator CS6 ▸ Adobe Illustrator CS6 ▸ Contents ▸ MacOS
    use right click and "Show Package Contents" on Adobe Illustrator Application.
    In the MacOS folder you can find Adobe Illustrator (black Icon with exec in green font for terminal program). Double click it and Illustrator opens.
    Be aware this is just a workaround (sometimes it crashes stating it cannot find a legacy Java 6, which is completely outdated and a security risk). Also the terminal window keep open...

  • Firefox disconnects from the internet after a while

    Hi,
    i have the latest version of firefox and in the recent days i have been experiencing a very annoying issue. My computer is on and connected to the internet for many hours a day. This has never been a problem so far but now i have noticed Firefox suddenly becomes unable to connect to the internet after a while of being on. No page will finish loading no matter how long i wait.
    I try by closing and reopening Firefox and I get an error saying Firefox is still running and that i need to close it and when i close that error then i get another error saying it was unable to load my profile. I close that and reopen Firefox which at the beginning works normal again but after 3 or 4 minutes it disconnects again. I repeat the whole process and i still get the same results until i restart my computer.
    No other programs have this problems only Firefox. What can i do?
    Thank you.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
