Firefox Minimize Problem

Hello
My problem with firefox is when ever Firefox is minimalized or scrolled down all the games i try to run (in full screen mode and windowed mode) minimalizes or scrolls down as you can call it by itself and even if i press it to open again it just keeps going down it doesent crash just scrolls down.
This is happening on Every game i have so its not only one separate game this also do not occur when trying other browsers but i cant stand them.
I am running Firefox with Noscript and DownloadHelper.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== It started Randomly just one day without any change to firefox or pluggins

Hi Frank,
I just created an empty project in JDeveloper, with the [JSF, ADF BC] template, with only the caller window and the dialog window. Plain windows, with just a link in the caller window and an outputText in the dialog window. When I run the program, I open the dialog window through the link (with has only the navigation rule as an action (dialog:helper), and the attribute UseWindow set to true). Then I minimize it, and it does, but then springs back up, then minimizes again, and so on. I tried it in Google Chrome, and it behaves just fine, when you minimize the dialog, it stays minimized.
If I can't fix it, at least I need to provide a technical explanation for my client. The "bouncing" does not happen if I switch to another application, then back to the dialog, and minimize it. Focus goes to the other application and everything works fine. But when focus goes to the caller Firefox window, the dialog window is restored, and starts to minimize and restore indefinitely. By switching to another application it can be stopped, but I still need to explain this behaviour to my client.
Thank you for answering, I hope I could make myself clear, as English is not my native language.

Firefox minimizes unexpectedly

Firefox 16.0.1 minimizes randomly at times. I cannot really say exactly when. Usually after opening a site on a new tab, but mostly when opening multiple tabs from library items. It would start loading them and then library would reappear in the front as firefox minimizes by itself. Anyone else has noticed this?

Hello lascetic

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.hotmail.com

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

Firefox gets problems when 2,7 GB of memory is used by Firefox

Firefox gets problems when 2,7 GB of memory is used by Firefox. Or more. Like 2,8 GB.
It started when I read jpost.com with tens of tabs open. I don't remember how many. But I know there was more than 40.
On the tab I that I was reading, the page turned completely black. Pitch black with nothing else, not even the Firefox interface. It was actually a pitch black shape that looked like a web page in shape. The blackness quickly disappeared and the page was normally readable again. But then it happened again - the page turned black again.
The same page turns black happened again later.
One of my browsing sessions had Firefox slow down so much that you could see scrolling happening when I used scrolling.
Still another time I had 60 tabs open and Firefox worked completely fine without freezes, slowdowns, or black shapes. I could close Firefox by just pressing the red X in the title bar.
Yesterday, I had 50 tabs open and I experienced a slowdown when I looked at the Breaking News headlines. The headlines would show slower than usual. The Breaking News headlines at jpost.com show the headlines a few words at a time until the headline is completely shown. Then the headline disappears and the next starts showing a few words at a time. And speed in general was not what you normally have with a computer that has 8 GB of memory. And a Core i5 processor. I opened two more tabs from the Breaking News section I had opened. After I opened a new window, Firefox froze. I had to close Firefox from the Task Manager by pressing End process. I had used Firefox for 6 hours without ever closing any of the tabs I had opened.
In all of these cases, more than 40 tabs were open. In all of these cases, the slow down or freeze meant I had to use Task Manager and then press End process on the Processes tab. In all cases except the two I describe in the next paragraph, I never close any tabs after opening them. No problems have ever happened until Firefox started using 2,7 GB of memory. Until that point, everything is normal with no freezes or slowdowns.
At two times, I tried to reduce memory usage by closing tabs. However, in both cases this would make Firefox freeze. In one of these cases, Firefox would show something bizarre: there would be about 7 tabs, and one of the tabs would be partly shown. Also, Firefox would show the busy cursor. Firefox did not show how many tabs I actually had. The second time, I tried to close the tabs by clicking Close other tabs in the menu that you get when right-click a tab. The tabs would close fine, but I remember that I opened Gmail and then I did this: I clicked on the Promotions tab. Instead of seeing the tab with the Emails, Firefox showed a busy cursor and the title bar said not responding. Firefox froze.
The reason might be Adblock Plus memory usage. In Adblock Plus home page, developer Wladimir Palant writes in his blog about how Adblock Plus uses a lot of memory: https://adblockplus.org/blog/on-the-adblock-plus-memory-consumption .

One more bit of information: I have a Geforce 640 GT graphics card. My graphics card drivers are old- version 311.41. The newest version of the drivers is 340.52. Would a new graphics card driver solve the problem?

Have tried another firefox version, same thing!
I think google is sabotating firefox! hehehhe just a guess! Internet Explorer seems ok too.
If you guys do not know what is the problem, please let me know!

Did you check all possibilities from the "Website_colors_are_wrong" article including the Windows accessibility setting?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

FIrefox Browser problem- S... when I press 9 FIrefox zooms out? when I press 0 Firefox zooms in?

FIrefox Browser problem- Suddenly now when I press the 9 number key (or 6) FIrefox zooms out and when I press a 0 number key Firefox zooms in. This just started happening 2 days ago.
I am using a Mac and I have the latest Firefox . No updates of any kind have occurred in the past 4-5 days, so I must have inadvertedly activated this.
How can I deactivate this?

Hi lachem, I guess our comments in your earlier thread didn't solve the problem, but to avoid duplicate threads, let's continue there: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1050032 The Firefox "search for text when I start typing feature" has just stopped working correctly].

Each time the firefox will make com hangs awhile when ply a sound, after close firefox the problem solved.

When Firefox opened, and the system ply a sound, the com will hang awhile, but after I close Firefox, the problem solved itself, if I disable all plugins, the problem solved, can help check which plugins will cause this problem or this is Firefox problem???
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== ply a sound

I changed the setting, but unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. This situation does seem to occur more, when I load or reload my eBay home page. I noticed that all data and information would go ahead and load, but the random ads bar would not immediately load and when I would left click anywhere on the page, Firefox would temporarily freeze, the page turns white, Firefox not responding will display, and then the banner would load and everything is fine. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Flash Player. Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Reggie

Popup minimize problem in Firefox

Hi everyone,
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.4157. I'm having problems when I try to minimize a popup window in Firefox. When I do, window minimizes and restores automatically, and it starts "bouncing" to and from the taskbar. To stop it, I must switch to another application by using alt + tab and returning, or open the Task Manager. I've read that window control events cannot be handled, nor can buttons be disabled or hidden.
Thanks in advance.

Why does Firefox minimize itself upon launch. My husband is using Windows 8.1 with all recent updates.

I am trying to find a solution to my husband's computer problem. Upon launching the Firefox browser it will immediately minimize itself to the bottom of the screen, sometimes it takes a few minutes to do this, but it always happens. This has occurred with Firefox since we purchased the new Dell computer 64 bit running Windows 8. We have received all of the Windows 8.1 updates for it, hoping that it would correct itself. It seems to only affect Firefox, not any other browser. It has the most current version of Firefox, but it has been happening for all versions. He also uses the Google Chrome browser and it doesn't happen with it. I hope someone can help us with this as it is getting very annoying. He has had the new computer for several months now. If more information is needed about his computer, please ask.

What Firefox version is he using? If it's not current, you should update (for security, even if it doesn't fix this).
This could be something to do w/ Windows and / or some other software installed. You could try starting Windows in safe mode, then start firefox.
With this kind of problem, it's possible the Firefox program files got messed up. Ruling that out - by uninstalling - '''is faster than the addon troubleshooting''' steps below, so you may want to try uninstalling/ reinstalling first.
'''PLEASE... backup your existing profile''', before doing anything. It'll only take a few min & can save tons of headache. Search support.mozilla.org or Mozillazine.org (not the same folks) for "how to back up profile." It's easy & something you should do, anyway.
Uninstalling the Firefox program * shouldn't * affect your old profile, but you know how that goes.
Sometimes weird things like that happen due to addons used (& maybe less often, plugins).
Restart the browser in safe mode (search for: "mozillazine + safe mode", to see how).
Don't select "make the disabling of addons permanent;" just hit continue.
If it solves problem, you'll have to create another, new profile.
First, just try the clean profile w/ no addons, to make sure it doesn't have the same prob.
Start installing a couple of addons at a time, restarting as needed. Keep good notes.
See if any addons cause the problem. If so, narrow it down.
If you find one problem addon, don't assume the rest are OK, & install all the rest. More than one could be an issue.

Both Firefox & IE crash even when I have disabeled plug-ins. I have installed new version of Firefox and problem continues. Seems to be related to Flash, but not sure. Firefox will stay open if I go to a page like Google. Also crashes in safe mode.

Both browsers seem to crash when the web page wants plug ins to access pages. Simple ones like Google's home page, or these for example, work fine. I have run several scans with security software, including Malware (latest database), and they don't find anything.

The problem began because my computer had to be sent in because it wouldnt turn on so i had to get it fixed they replaced the motherboard this was the second time the motherboard was replaced and once they did that my firefox hasnt worked the same. I can go on google chrome but thats not what i prefer to use.
& when i right click on firefox it says troubleshoot so im assuming its built in to my computer. im not sure.
I tried the profile manager to create a new profile and that has seemed to work so far. No crashing but it does freeze when i got to facebook and then i have to click ctr alt delete to open task manager to end firefox. It happened twice, the third time i went to google, then twitter and it didnt freeze. I then went to youtube and it froze. So Facebook and youtube make it freeze. Any idea why it does that?
& thank you so much for helping and responding to me.

Macbook so slow I'm ready to commit Macbook homicide. Firefox the problem?

Hello,
My Macbook has been very slow since I got it and loaded a lot of files onto it a little over 2 years ago. I compared mine to that of a fellow traveler (same model, specs, programs) and he was able to keep many programs open simultaneously and still work quickly, while I cannot run two programs at the same time.
However, now it is even slower. Some days I spend more time watching the spinning wheel than I do working. I wish I were exaggerating.
Thanks to advice on this forum, I deleted files to free 25 GB of hard disk space. I regularly repair the disk permissions. I am so frustrated with this computer that is supposed to be so user friendly and wonderful but which actually interferes with my work. I use Firefox and notice that it uses up to 50% of my CPU power. Could this be my problem?
My work requires that I keep a lot of tabs (sometimes up to 50) open in my browser. I wonder if this means the Macbook is not up to that task no matter what I do. If that's the case, would any Mac be able to handle this? I don't keep a lot of other programs open, but if I dare to use Word or Adobe Acrobat simultaneously then all the programs will stop responding. It takes 5-15 minutes for programs to even quit unless I force them to do so.
I use the latest Firefox update and Mac OSX 10.5.8
Here are my computer stats:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MB21.00A5.B07
SMC Version (system): 1.17f0
Serial Number (system): xxxxx
Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-001B631FA1B3
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled
Thanks if anyone can shed light on my problem or help me to fix the system I currently have. I may have to purchase another computer, but I don't want to end up in the same very frustrated boat with the new one. I'm sad to say that the only time I have a bad temper is when I work on my Macbook.

I repair the disk every week or so lately. Just repaired it today.
You seem pretty happy with your computer overall. I definitely cannot have both Word and Firefox open without making the computer completely unusable. At some point both programs will stop responding. Even if one of them starts responding again it will only be a few keystrokes in Word or a link click in Firefox before they will both stop responding again. At that point even if I force one of the programs to quit the other one will not work well until I restart the computer.
I normally run only iCal in the background and even that I only open when I really need it. Just discovered Activity Monitor today. I have stopped running all the background programs at someone else's suggestion from several months ago.
I do think the computer is getting slower over time. I've used it as a dedicated Firefox unit for some time now but now it hangs up with even just Firefox open once I get about 10 tabs open. I am forced to restart the computer due to program hangups at least once per day. I almost never use two programs at once. I hate to have to open a PDF from the internet with Adobe Acrobat or Preview because I know I will have to restart the computer shortly. I guess I could try Safari again, but it seemed prone to crashing even with just 3-5 tabs open.
I hope the RAM will improve things enough to be workable. Otherwise it is time for a new computer and I will be sure to get the fastest one I can find rather than try to save money like I did last time.
Thanks again. Sorry I feel so bitter about this Macbook. It was fun to use for about 3 weeks and then it slowed so dramatically. But it didn't start crashing this often until maybe 6 months ago. Since then, my usage habits have gotten lighter (I was once able to use a few programs at once, if a bit slowly and with frequent brief hangups), but the computer just seems to get slower and more prone to the unending spinning ball.

Safari & Firefox having problems with the Apple Store

Hi there,
I'm having issues using the Apple Store I'd really appreciate some help with. Whenever I go there, whether I'm using Firefox or Safari, I always get a pop-up menu come down, even when I haven't clicked on anything. And it won't go away, so I can't see alot of the stuff on the site, making it unusable. It's best described by a screen shot:
[IMG]http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b163/HeavenOnEarth/Picture21.png[/IMG]
The box on the right comes up without me clicking on anything, the activity wheel at the top of it never changes into anything (just keeps spinning round) and there is no 'close' or 'cancel' button to make it go away. If you look at the bottom of the pop-up, you can see it doesn't even render properly.
I called the Apple Store number about this and he said to clear all my private data. I have done that in Safari, as it's not my main browser so doesn't matter to me. In Firefox I have only partially done this; I cleared all cookies, the cache, browsing history, download history, saved form information and authenticated sessions. Neither worked to make the pop-up box go away. I could not face clearing saved passwords or saved sessions (with my Tab Mix Plus add-on) in Firefox, so I'm going to try anything else I can think of to solve this before resorting to that.
I'm guessing this is some problem in the overall system, rather than in either of the browsers, given that they both do it. Would something like Onyx or Cocktail help?
Also, both my browsers are quite old; Firefox is 1.5.0.6 and Safari is 2.0.4... I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I'm hoping not. With alot of plug-ins and an already overloaded computer, I'd rather not update to the more processor-intensive new versions. I want a new computer soon, so I'm hoping I can put-off updating til then.
So if anyone can tell me what to do, I'd be most grateful. I really need to use the Apple Store to look into what Mac to get to upgrade, and right now I just can't shop properly.
Thanks,
Charity

We are all just fellow users here and would have no way of knowing. You'll need to call the Apple Store and ask.

Opening a pdf in firefox causes problems in other opened tabs

When I open a pdf on firefox, if I switch tabs, i.e. to any other website, and try to scroll down with the mousewheel it won't work, only the pdf file scrolls down, even if I'm not working on that tab. This happened to me with an old laptop (XP), now I have a new one (W7), and I have the same problem, so I guess is not a computer problem.
Also, at work the pdf files work properly.

Starting in Chrome 42, NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader will no longer work nor be shown in the chrome://plugins page.
http://www.chromium.org/developers/npapi-deprecation
The Chromium team has decided to remove support for NPAPI plugins like Adobe Reader. Here's a blog post that describes their decision - http://blog.chromium.org/2014/11/the-final-countdown-for-npapi.html
To view PDF files in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, we recommend that you download the file in Chrome and open it from your desktop.

Adobe Reader X - Firefox integration Problem

Dear All,
My first post here.
I am having problem's with the Adobe Reader X integration with Firefox (v3.6.12). I have been using Adobe Reader always and it's been fine.
But I installed the new Adobe Reader X, and it integrates with firefox well, PDF document's open well within the browser.. BUT, I cannot save the PDF document from within the pdf.. I cannot click anywhere on the toolbar.. I cannot click on the pop up toolbar as well (the black one).. When i press F8, I can restore the toolbar or make it disappear.. but that's all I can do..
If I try to save the document from firefox file menu, it works.. but not from within the pdf...
This problem is also seen in IE, as well.
I have tried repairing the install and also uninstall / reinstall adobe reader X. But nothing worked..
For more info., I have been discussing this issue here > http://forum.notebookreview.com/windows-os-software/534412-adobe-reader-x-available-3.html
I am looking forward to resolving this soon, because I use / read / work with hundreds and thousands of PDF, and they are extremely essential for my research work.. as some might know, all research articles are in PDF format these days..
Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Cheers, fondue

My replies are in Bold.
Thank you for your response and message.
1. Are you seeing this problem with all kinds of PDF's or some specific kinds like secure PDF's (with doc open password or printing restrcitions), reader extended PDF's or PDF forms.
This problem is with all kind's of PDF's.
2. Are you opening a locally saved PDF by doing a drag drop in the browser or right click and open with IE/FF or directly opening a PDF hosted on the internet?
It doesn't matter. However I do it, I see this problem in Firefox, IE & Google Chrome.
3. Can you also check the version of the Reader X browser plugin? you could find it at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll. Right click -> Properties -> Details
If version is 9.0.x then you could try a clean install of Reader X.
I have checked it. It's the latest plug-in (though at the moment, I have gone back to Adobe Reader 9.4.1, as I've mentioned before, because I need the reader to be working fine for my work and daily life. I am just waiting for a fix before I try Adobe Reader X again.
As I've mentioned before, I am seeing this issue ONLY on my Windows 7 Ultimate (Laptop). In the desktop's at work, with Windows XP / Vista, I don't see it. Adobe Reader is working fine, browser integration is fine, the floating tool bar works fine, the right click menu pop' up where the right click is done...I can also save PDF' from the main toolbar at the top and so on...
I really have run out of ideas.... and I am very surprised that no expert support personnel (if at all there is one) have dropped by or said anything or mentioned anything about this.
Anyway.... Cheers.
