Firefox locks up when I reopen the laptop lid.

I have W7 on my A505 Toshiba. I have Fox News (home page), Comcast home page and Comcast mail tabs displayed. I close the laptop lid. Reopen several hours later and performance is slow. X out of mail, Comcast, and then try to X out of Fox and computer hangs up. This has started within the last couple weeks. During that time, I downloaded an Adobe update only.

Hi,
You can try to [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ updating Firefox] and check. If the problem persists, you can also try to '''Disable''' suspicious '''Plugins''' in '''Tools '''('''Alt '''+ '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Please note that this may also happen if the laptop close lid action was changed from sleep to hibernate because Windows would take more time to restore the saved state from disk.

  • [SOLVED] Run xscreensaver when I close the laptop lid

    I have xscreensaver running in my archlinux, and with a systemd service, I can start it after waking up my laptop.
    The problem is that I like to keep my laptop running when I close the lid (for example, to go to bed while I'm downloading a file, I like to simply close my lid), but I want to lock my computer.
    In the /etc/systemd/logind.conf, there is a nice option called HandleLidSwitch, which specifies which action is invoked when the lid is closed, and there is a lock option, but It doesn't work for me.
    The option suspend works fine.
    Here is my /etc/systemd/logind.conf:

    Any help?

    I would say that you should just have logind ignore the LidSwitch altogether.  So if it is set to ignore the lid switch, then it obviously isn't going to be entering the suspend.target (or is it the sleep.target, I can't remember).  Therefore, you are going to have to have some other way of triggering actions in response to these events.
    The lid switch sends an event to udev, so you have the option of having a udev rule that responds to this, or using acpid to start this for you.  I would recommend using acpid, as it is much more flexible in what it can allow you to do.
    Edit: acpid is not necessarily more flexible than a udev rule, as it relies on the udev events.  But it is a much easier method of setup since it simply relies of basic scripting in order to make it work.  It can allow for one central script (or collection of scripts) to handle all the different events that udev sends.  To see what kinds of things trigger a udev event, you can use udevadm monitor or if you install acpid, there is the acpi_listen option.
    Edit2:  BTW, what is it you mean by not working?  Does it still suspend on lid close, or is your xscreensaver not started?  You need to be more explicit there.  If it is still suspending, have you rebooted or restarted logind after making those changes to logind.conf?  You can't just edit the file and have the changes implemented right away, as the configuration is parsed and the settign implemented on the service start.

  • My mac makes a popping sound when I close the laptop lid

    I have a question I am going into a apple certified repair store and getting my mac repaired cause of the popping noise it makes. it is reproducible so thats not a issue with having to prove that i'm not making it up. will they replace the laptop or will they repair it and if they do determine to replace it then do they give you a replacement right away or do you have to have it repaired so many times ?. I have had the laptop for a year and 2 months and I do have apple care on it so thats not an issue. has anyone else dealt with this issue and what did apple do in the end ?

    Open your mac pro and listen carfully.  It could be coming from a failing hard drive or a bad fan.  If you have more than one drive you could remove the ones you are not currently using and add them back one by one to try to localize or eliminate the sound.  Caution though, only remove drives when your machine is off.  You cannot hot swap the drive bays.

  • HP Pavilion G6 (G6-2313AX) automatically stops music when I put the laptop lid down, please help?

    Hi,
    My Laptop is a Pavilion G6-2313AX (AMD A10-4600M with 7660G+7670M Dual Graphics) with genuine Windows 8. I use this laptop a lot in the school bus, while going in cars etc to listen to music. Problem is whenever I put my laptop screen down (It is set NOT to go to sleep mode), the track pauses on Windows Media Player, iTunes, any program. Someone please help me on what I should do to prevent this from happening!

    I understand that the music pauses when the notebook is closed.  When the notebook is closed, this is usually to move it from one place to another.  This may be triggering HP ProtectSmart which physically stops the HDD from spinning causing everything to pause until the HDD is stable.  Newser systems are more sensitive to protect the HDD and the data on it.
    This sounds like it's more in relation to ProtectSmart more so than a power plan.  Review this thread as it looks similar to your issue.  Disabling HP ProtectSmart is what fixed it for them.
    Let me know if this answered your question.

  • Firefox 4 closes the current tab when I close the laptop - why?

    I've just upgraded to firefox 4. Now when I close the laptop the open tab disappears. This never happened with the older version.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes and [[Firefox crashes]]
    Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to '''0''' on the '''about:config''' page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.

    Since upgrading to ios6, all the family's apple devices (new ipad, 2 iphone4 & itouch) are having difficulty reconnecting to the home hub wifi network. I.e, every time the lock screen comes on, the wifi connection is lost when you reopen the device and we have to reconnect through settings. This appears to be an ios6 software issue.
    Is there a solution to this wifi connection issue or do we wait for a software fix?
    I'd hate to think Apple is going down the Microsoft path, of passing untested software onto the user. What ever happened to Regression Testing, to ensure the existing functionality remains intact?
    I bought into the Apple dream, because it was intuitive, reliable & enjoyable to use, all the things that Microsoft windows isn't.
    Other issues we are experiencing are, Games are stuttering and the kids really miss the old YouTube app.
    Please Mr Browett, sort these issues out.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I force shutdown my MacBook Pro and when I reopened my laptop, my files and apps are all gone.

    I force shutdown my MacBook Pro by pressing the shutdown button for a long time and when I reopened my laptop, my files and apps are all gone.
    When I reopened my laptop, it said that some files have been deleted or hidden (I don't know if it said hidden, I don't remember). my dock and wallpaper were set back to default.
    This isn't my first time force shutting my MacbookPro.
    How can I restore/recover back my stuff?
    i heard time machine restores your stuff back.
    And please don't tell me to go to apple because I have made an appointment with them but I'm still worried.
    Please if you know anything about this please tell me anything you know.
    Please help me.

    Given that you sound a nervous wreck and a neophyte in matters Mac, it would be safest that you put the Mac away, go take a chill pill, grab a bite, get some rest. Then take the Mac to its scheduled appointment with Destiny, er, the Apple Genius.
    There's a good possibility of data loss and munging around unknowing, following instructions that will probably be hard to grasp will only increase the amount of damage.

  • Why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

    why does the document window in illustrator cs6 move to the far left when I reopen the file?

    Hi John,
    thanks for the fast response.  cs5 remembered the window position.  I like having the window in the middle as I have a 27" monitor.  I just upgraded to cs6 yesterday and I'm sure it was remembering the window document position.  I think.  If i find out how to fix this, I'll post it here.
    And while I'm on the subject of cs6, why the f*** did adobe combine the stroke and swatches pallettes?  Now I forever have to click stroke and swatch tabs all day.  And I love the army and navy file icons of photoshop and illustrator.  I won't comment on Acrobat X.  ; (

  • Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

    Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?  This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

    This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
    I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...
