Firefox process is starting, but no activity and no active application

I am already for long-time a happy firefox user. I rate myself as an experienced firefox user and troubleshooter. But today I got some unfixable problems, and also can not find my problem in the forums. Ony this tread is a bit related, but offers no solution : https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/759683
The firefox.exe process starts, loads till about 10MB in memory and than no activity. Also no CPU usage. Appears to be hang.
If I remove js3250.dll there is an error message that the file can not be found. So I guess the basics of FF are started.
The profiles are already moved to an other location. Later I uninstalled FF. Several times rebooted. Moved ALL references in program files and in my roaming user profile to a different drive and installed FF again.
Virusscan and Firewall software are disabled at the moment.
Unfortunately FF keeps responding in the same way. Only starting firefox.exe as a visible process but as application not visible. and no activity after a few seconds (ca. 10 MB in memory)
Hope the cure can be found soon. I like Chrome less than FF... Other browsers even less ;-|

''The version of Comodo I am working with is version 5.3.xxx''.
Even so, the "Comodo Safe Surf" component may still be installed from an earlier (pre 3.1o) version of Comodo. You should still make sure that you don't see "Comodo Safe Surf" in the Windows Control panel program list of installed programs.

Do you get an error number? What is the exact message?
Two things to try.
- Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
- Quit the App Store
- In Finder - Go>Go to folder... (or Apple-shift-G)
- Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
- It will take you to a folder. Delete com.apple.appstore
- Launch the App Store.
If that doesn't work, try an App Store reset and then try again.

Sorting activated and non-activated songs

Hi there.
I have set my iPod to sync only activated songs, so that I can change the content from time to time. But now I didn't find a way to sort my library by activated and non-activated songs (you know, the small box left of a songs name which is usually activated). Now I begin to lose the overview.
Does somebody know how to sort the library by activated and non-activated songs?
Thanks for any help.
Regards, Chris

You can't sort by checkmarks, but you can separate your library between checked and unchecked items with two smart playlists:
1- Make a smart playlist defined as: +Bitrate > 0+, and select the options "Match only checked items" and "Live Updating". Call this playlist "Checked Items".
2- Make another smart playlist defined as: +Playlist -- Is Not -- Checked Items+ and select the option "Live Updating". This will show you all the un-checked items.

Transfering Master and Transaction data to active and non active versions

Hi Gurus,
I am planning to transfer ECC master and transaction data to APO active and simulation versions.My question is
1. Is it possible to release Master and transaction data to active and non active versions ?
2. How i need to config if i want to release Master and Transaction data in version 001?
Please let me know .
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
1) Once you create active integration models for master data and
transactional data, the data will get updated in active version 000
2) For creation of non active version use transaction
/SAPAPO/MVM
3) For copying of data from active to non active version, use
transaction /SAPAPO/VERCOP

I have windows xp and am told firefox is already running, but not responding and I have to close existing firefox process or restat. neither works, suggestions?

I have gone to windows manager and deleted the firefox process.
I am able to use explorer and firefox as another user, but not on my primary account.

This Knowledge Base article may help you: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20is%20already%20running%20but%20is%20not%20responding

When closed and i try to open a hiper link i get statment firefox is aready open but not responding and i have to reset system to get it back. Is this a glitch of just my system?

Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

''I have a spread sheet with all my hyper links and i select websites that way and firefox has done this to me starting with 3.6 beta and now 5''
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
''There is only one window open the spread sheet.''
Firefox selected as default browser. Running Windows XP, Spread sheet Microsoft Excell.

Every time I try to load firefox, WindowsXP says firefox is already running but not responding and before it can load another I have to shut down the one running and reboot my computer.

My problems started when I downloaded Ilivid downloader, after I loaded the program and watched the short video the program started messing up my computer. It spread itself all over my hard drive, changed my homepage, my search engine, locked me out of being able to change certain settings, made some of its files undeleteable and since then my firefox will not load. I removed my version of firefox and reinstalled it several times. I still got the same response. I went into the registry and deleted all references to Mozilla and Firefox and reinstalled it again, same response. I spent days trying to delete all references to ilivid downloader and every file I could find that made any reference to ilivid. I hope you can help me with my problem. I like using firefox and would like to start using it again. Thanks

See
* [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
Try closing any running instances of ''firefox.exe'' (and plugincontainer.exe) using something such as Task Manager. That should allow you to then restart Firefox.
As for iLivid. Possibly it also has associated apps or extensions with names not including the word iLivid. Looking at their own FAQs there are instructions to remove iLivid using the Windows Control panel, and mention of other bundled software that you may wish to remove. It seems it is more of a nuisacne rahter than out and out malware.
* see http://www.ilivid.com/faq.htm (page scrolls for more info) but includes:
How do I uninstall the software?
The software can be removed in a simple was like any other software:
Go to the Windows Start menu and then to Control Panel > Add/Remove ("Programs & Features" in Vista & Windows 7) and click "Remove" next to the software name (e.g iLivid Download manager / Windows iLivid Toolbar ).
During the installation bundle software are offered, each can easily be removed following those instructions: Uninstall Yontoo Addon , Uninstall Search Toolbar (powered by Bing) or Uninstall Babylon.

Firefox doesn't start in Windows 8 and none of your suggested solutions worked

I haven't been able to start the Firefox and I don't get any message on start-up. I tried all the suggested solutions from your support pages, but none work, as for most of them you need to have the browser open.
I uninstalled and re-installed the browser, but to no avail.

Hi,
1. Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
2. After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
3. Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
o Windows:
 C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
 C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
o Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
o Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see Install Firefox on Linux. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
1. Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
2. Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

Firefox won't start,but when I shut my computer down it says that it is running. What is the problem?

Firefox will not open, but when I shut my computer down it says that it is running and must be forced quit. Once I rebute the computer it opens but is very slow and hang up on many web pages. I have reinstalled it with little help. In contrast, Windows Internet Explorer works fine.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?<br />
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.<br />

Processes is started but doesn't do anyting

We are using WLI 8.1SP5, Oracle as a database.
We are facing issues when starting a process. Sometimes a process gets triggered, but the process instance doesn't do anything.
When looking at the graphical view we only see the process start node (green button at the top) being lit. But for some reason the process does not continue...
Anyone had a similar behaviour?
Yoeri

check your state table (JPD) and process event table.
If there is only one entry there that means the dispatcher layer has send the control to adapter and to container layer and process entry is created .
but the events are not getting fired .This could be related to a bug in Processcontainer class.X-(

Firefox 28 wont start but does not crash

Hi,
The problem: firefox.exe starts, process shows up in process explorer and quits within <1 second. No crashreport, no eventlog-entry, no dialog. Just plain nothing.
The environment: Win 7 Enterprise 64Bit, Standard FF28 Download (tested de, en and de-eu)
Tests: reinstall, starting "firefox.exe -p", deinstall+Reboot+tempdelete+reinstall, tested both with en and DE Download nd with de-EU download for FF28. FF24 ran fine.
I did not try nightly builds for FF29

P.s. Thanks in advance ;)
Current BETA Download from today does not fix this either
Update 27.3. - FIXED: I installed Firefox 27b09 yesterday. Today, Firefox updated itself to 29.0 Beta and beware - all is working (except KeeFox Addon Integration)

Firefox 5 works sometimes, but freezes often and crashes occasionally. How can I fix this?

I just installed Firefox 5. Since installing the upgrade I have been having problems with "freezing" and occasional crashes. Firefox 5 works sometimes, but freezes sporadically. After the crash Firefox 5 locked up during the "file a crash report" procedure. I have performed all of the suggestions in the trouble shooting instructions (clear history, disable plugins etc.)

I have spent hours since Firefox 5 came out trying to understand all the FireFox freeze/crashes on my XP machine. As a very busy person I don't mind spending time to tweak my machine, do all the updates etc (which I do faithfully). I do mind spending the equivalent of a full workday trying to get Firefox 5 to work like Firefox 4 did for me (and 3 before it). Sadly, the reason I left Internet Explorer back then was to avoid what I'm experiencing now. So, as much as I love Firefox, I'm just going to have to use IE, which doesn't crash at all for me. So when FF5 is cleaned up can you just let us know? Please tell me it will be soon.

Regd: Active and In-active version data of a CR

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to compare the active (approved and created) and in-active (yet to be approved) data of an entity in a change request. For this, I have tried cl_usmd_gov_api-> if_usmd_gov_api_cr_data~get_crequest_data, if_usmd_gov_api_entity~query_entity, cl_usmd_model_ext->read_entity_data_all etc.. But all of these are not giving desired results. I need all the changed values which are yet to be approved in one ITAB or structure and all the active data in another.
So would request if any one can share any input on this.
Thanks And Regards

Hi Pradipta,
MDG 7.0 SP2 offers this as an out of the box feature. In the common user interfaces you can enable the "Highlight Changes" functionaly that basically colors all fields that have been changed. Using the mouse-over on a changed field, the tooltip mention the old and new values.
In addition you can enable the BCV side panel content for changed fields. This would display all changes in a table-like view.
Refer to the configuration guides of the related MDG application for more details.
Best regards
Michael
