Firefox not working when PC wakes up after sleep but Chrome is working.

When laptop wakes up from sleep, already opened tabs in Firefox are not getting connected to internet. After two minutes opening a new Firefox window is connecting to internet. But this problem is not happening with Chrome.

When you are doing this, set the drive to never sleep, slider completely to the right and display sleep to something like five minutes. Or just hit Control-Shift-Eject, to sleep the display. Uncheck "put the hard disks to sleep..." That said, the firmware on the externals may be spinning them down. But this shouldn't be happening if they are being written to.

  • External hard drive disappears when imac wakes up after sleep

    Hi Everyone.
    Got a really silly question but I can't seem to figure out where to fix this
    I have 4 USB 500gig hard drives all run off a 13 port powered hub.
    Now I have one hard drive set aside for my films which I and ripping so they can be view via my apple tv 2nd gen. The other is for MP3's and the other 2 get are redundunt at the moment.
    No the problem is when I rip a DVD, I rip it to the hard drive on the iMac and then trans the files to the external drive.  As I rip them at a high quality (2 to 3 gigs per film) I get the transfer box saying it will take X amount of time.  The only thing is the iMac after some minutes will go to sleep.
    When you wake it up the hard drives have disappeared and the is an error saying the drive have been ejected incorrectly.
    I'm assuming the iMc is putting the drives to sleep when it goes to sleep.
    Is there a way to keep the hard drives running but only put the momitor to sleep.  The problem is also happening when I use USB memory sticks (I have a 4/8/16 & 32gig sticks all with various bits of info that I am sorting out from the move from Windows PC to Mac.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this fix coz I can't seem to find the setting
    Thanks
    Rick

  • Firefox 5.0. 1 internet lost after sleep but email works - os Lion

    Firefox 5.0.1 was working fine under Snow Leopard but since upgrading to Lion I can not access websites when waking from sleep. I have to go into Network Preferences Diagnostics to get it working. I am using a Virgin Media wireless router (Netgear).
    Wireless and internet connection are there as email works straight away.

    Thanks drewmaness.
    Confirmed. It works now after setting network.negotiate-auth.allow-proxies to False.

  • Thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.

    thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.
    it will not happen in Mountain loin.

    I had this problem on SL and on Lion as well, and it occures for WiFi and Ethernet connections.
    In fact the internet connection was not broken as I could ping the destination usin the IP (not DNS name).
    In this case the problem was related to mDNSResponder task which handles all dns queries.
    It was the most frequent problem in my day to day work with SL and now Lion. It was never fixed by any patch from Apple. I tried almost all voodoo including fresh install, all possible config changes - no solution.
    The only version with no problems related to network was 10.5.8. All the other versions had issues of different kind (WiFi instability (lost signal), DNS problems (for wireless and wired connection) sometimes associated with machine sleep and wake up and sometimes with no reason.
    QUESTION: Is your problem independent of the access point / router you connect to.
    I must say networking was (and still is) the weakest part, besides the other OS X weaknesses I experienced during 4 years of OS X usage.
    No problems in the same network with Linux or Windows beeing ran natively on my iMac So hardware is OK.
    Software is of poor quality. Not much more to say in this matter.
    I found a very interesting article dated 1996 about programming which I think is still valid.
    Link to the article: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html
    Below the fragment (with some connection to Apple)
    Software is everything. It also s***s.

  • Firefox crashes and when attempting to launch after the crash it won't and throw and error msg that js.3250 can't be found- but same file is in Mozilla directory. I must then download new 3.6.8 and lose all tabs.

    # Question
    Firefox crashes and when attempting to launch after the crash it won't launch; throwing an error msg that " js.3250 can't be found" - but same file is in Mozilla directory.
    I must then download new 3.6.8 and lose all tabs and history.

    I have a similar problem. Recently my FF8 has been crashing a lot. It regularly locks up an entire core of my PC and often just shuts down. It has just done it a moment ago and when it started back up it did the whole "this is embarrassing" thing and asked me if I wanted to reload my tabs. I deselected the one that I was trying to view as I suspected that it may have been the cause (unlikely; it was node4.co.uk) but anyway, let's skip it just in case. Click on the button to restore and up pops my homepage only. So all of my other tabs, which I was using for work incidentally, are gone.
    This is not the first time this has happened on FF8. It happened a lot recently on FF6 I think it was (so hard to keep track now, Mozilla) and I switched to Chrome as a result, but it turns out that it crashes even more than FF6 did. FF7 was a vast improvement but FF8 is so unstable/unpredictable for me at the moment that I think I'd rather use IE9 than this. It's driving me mental, clearly! I wish I could kill the process manually and have it retry restoring tabs. Hey, there's an idea Mozilla; give us a menu item that allows us to restore the session to how it started to try again or at the very least get a list of the pages we were looking at. They don't show up in Recently Closed Windows and the Restore Previous Session is greyed out too. Gah! Help!

  • MacBook Air not wake up after sleep

    Hi,
    My MacBook Air(Mid 2012) can't wake up after sleep. I recently updated operation system to Mac OS X Mavericks and now after sleep mode screen goes black and nothing happens after this. Only thing that I could do is hard reboot by pressing power button and boot again. Do anyone have the same issue and suggestions how to fix this?
    Thanks in advance
    Dmitrii

    Same thing here. MBA 2011 working perfectly until I updated to Mavericks.
    It often doesn't wake up fully. It does draw the password input box but there's no text cursor and no input is possible. The mouse cursor is not visible either. Waiting does nothing (tried ~15 minutes, no change). Closing the lid does not put the laptop back to sleep, it's fully frozen and the only way out is a reboot by holding the power button.

  • Why does Firefox not work here in China anymore, since January of 2015?

    I have used Firefox for years, as the fastest and most reliable browser for me, esp in China... not anymore! Last month (unknown to me) a hijacker called Vosteran took over my Firefox browser. I finally realized it and got it cleaned up using Malwarebytes anti-malware, and downloaded a new Firefox... now SAME problem exists, even with Vosteran removed!
    Firefox will not allow me into ANY normal sites, saying they don't have the proper security code. This includes my Yahoo front page, email account, ESPN and other common sites that are certainly NOT dangerous. So, WHY does Firefox not work anymore? It is useless to me here in China the way it works now.

    hello rickinchina, first please make sure that the '''date, time & timezone''' are set correctly on your system and that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet (that's the "'''no proxy'''" setting in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'').
    if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
    * what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
    in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page (but don't do it for real) and inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
    * which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
    please report back with those two pieces of information. thank you!

  • Latest windows 7 patches and firefoz 18 - firefox not working properly - shows stacked windows and does nothing

    Jan 10 windows 7 patches, plus new firefox update today. Now firefox starts up and shows multiple, stacked window frames and "firefox not responding" messages on top border. after multiple firefox screen flashes (minutes of time), firefox may eventually display normal windows/frames. Selecting new site, firefox goes through same activities. Startup site is www.baynews9.com, then try going to www.cnn.com

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • Mac Mini 2014 Oct cannot wake up after sleep

    Mac Mini 2014 Oct Version, cannot wake up after sleep by typing on keyboard or moving mouse (both hardwired USB) if external HDMI screen goes to sleep mode too (usually after 1 min if no signal coming from the MAC). To wake up, I ust turn off and turn on the screen and keep typing on the keyboard. I already checked "prevent computer from sleeping if display goes to sleep". But does not help. This is very annoying. I now try to set the sleep timer to more than 1 hour. Wasting my energy and not helping. I tried connecting my HDMI screen to a HDMI to mini-Display port adaptor cable, then plug into the thunderbolt port of the MAC. Same issue, no improvement.

    I may know whats going on with the wake from sleep issue. I have a Mac Mini 2012 but this  fix (see below) should work on any product running 10.8.2 Mine is at 10.10.1 and it worked.   First off you can tell if your Mac Mini is in sleep mode by looking at the small light on the front of the Mini. If its pulsing... going from bright to dim its in sleep mode. If you put your Mac in sleep mode, or it goes into sleep mode it will wake from sleep BUT ONLY for the first 4 hours. After 4 hours it will go into what is known as "safe sleep".  The light on the front will be off and you won't be able to wake your Mac. The only way to wake the Mac when in safe sleep is to hit the power button and then wait a minute or longer as your system will need to pull the data from the disk and load to ram. This is causing the issue where its not waking from sleep. You can move your mouse or hit the keys all you want but it won't wake from sleep. This is a real pain as you have to press the power button on the back of the Mac mini and wait for the system to come out of its slumber.   Here's what Apple says:
    With the release of the OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 supplemental update 2.0, a new feature was introduced to enter safe sleep after four hours of the computer being connected to AC power. This is an effort to comply with the European Energy Standards (ErP Lot6). This will only occur if there is no wireless or Ethernet activity and no activity from external devices such as USB storage devices. This is normal behavior for the following models:
    MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 and later)
    MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012 and later)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2012 and later)
    iMac (Late 2012 and later)
    Mac mini (Late 2012 and later)
    I have found a fix that puts an end to this nonsense..... Go to the Mac terminal (Google if you don't know how or youtube) and run the following commands (Very easy to do and if a novice like my self can do you can for sure)
    1. When in the terminal mode type:
    pmset -g          This will show your current configuration of your sleep, hibernate, etc You may want to print so you can restore these values if needed.
    2. Change your standbydelay to  86400    86400 is number of seconds which is 24 hours. Here’s the command:
    sudo pmset -a standbydelay 86400
    3. Change autopoweroffdelay to 86400  Here’s the command:
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroffdelay 86400
    4. At last but not least change autopoweroff to 0   Here’s the command:
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroff  0
    Run pmset -g to verify your setting have changed.  I rebooted my system and checked again to make sure.  Since I made the changes no more going into Safe sleep!!! You can change the values to what you like. I used 86400 secs. (24 hours)  I hope this helps!

  • 1G iTouch won't wake up after sleep

    1G iTouch won't wake up after sleep. When I plug it back into my laptop it does a complete reboot. Tried both reset and restore. Works fine as long as plugged in. It shows a full battery and drains properly but once it goes to sleep it acts like battery is fully discharged.

    Is the iPod or the laptop going to sleep?
    I can't tell for sure from your post.
    When you restored, was it "as a new iPod" or from a backup?
    What software is on the Touch?

  • X505-sp8915r wont wake up after sleep mode

    My laptop wont wake up after sleep mode (suspender). The laptop does everything it should like the red lights go off but when i hit the power button just the power red light goes on... The keyboard backlights if I try using it but the monitor wont show anything and the hard disc red light doesn't even blink.
    Hibernation seems to be working fine. I had to change all that will make my computer enter sleep mode to hibernate. But I would like to get that fixed. I read something about the bios and my version is "BIOS Version: V1.40. 12/04/09.

    Qosmio X505-SP8915R
    The BIOS is up to v2.2 now. It's possible that will help.

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Memory RAM upgrade won't wake up after sleep mode

    i just recently purchase a pair  16GB RAM of crucial  CT2K8G3S160BM for newegg.com. Yeesterday i try put this on my macbook i7 intel 2.9 processor that crucial said is compatible. but found out everything was good until i close my mac lid for hibernate. What happen is, it won't wake up no matter what i do until a way of reset SMC. BTW i try stick by stick to plug in together with my original 4gb RAM together found out 1 was ok and other one was not. But somehow why the info of hardware show that memory ram 16GB was installed and was OK. Everything was run smooth even booting. The only problem is won't wake up after sleep mode. I already try reset smc, pram, delete startimage, delete powermanagement.file and also sudo hibernate 0-7. Did anyone had this same issue of me. I'm my curiousity will it be the bad ram or software problem.

    i just google around and found this two both crucial ram. Both spec are the same but different model no.
      CT102464BF160B 16GB  and mine is CT2K8G3S160BM are this 2 same? but both same spec.
