Firefox sometimes does not end

14.7.2014
Firefox 30.0 (German version) under Win 8.1
Hello,
Sometimes Firefox does not end properly. When Firefox is re-started I get a message saying Firefox
is still running although about 10 minutes has passed between end and the re-start.
Only by killing Firefox in the Task Manager can cure this problem. I use firefox a lot and this occurs about 5 times a day.

Firefox Keep running in background, that's why your getting this error

Firefox sometimes does not display my tabs along the menu bar when two or less are open - is this a bug?

When I have less than three tabs open after having more open, Firefox does not display the tabs along the menu bar. This means I can't see tabs when I have two open. Is this a glitch?
Note: I am aware that I can set Firefox to always show the tabs, but I do not like this setting for when I only have one tab opened.

Firefox sometimes does not allow me to complete an online purchase. I thought it was a website issue, but now wonder if relates to Firefox or Add-ons.

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [[/questions/926176]]</blockquote>
Yesterday I tried ordering from walmart.com and selected and edited my order with ease. When I clicked on "Check out now and Place Order" I was re=cycled back to the same order page and could not finish my order. I then tried with Safari and completed my order with no problems. This has happened on other websites occasionally, and I need to know if it is something in Firefox or my Add-ons that I need to adjust to keep this from happening. Thank you for any assistance, I am an old grandpa with much appreciation for, but with little savvy of, the computer world.

sir,
i feel very much proud to get ur post
r u upgrade the firefox 11 to 12?
it seems that upgrading to
firefox 12 has many problem.
Most of the people have problem
after upgrading firefox 12. Most
of the time the upgrade from
firefox 11 to 12 not successful.so
the problem has occure. I
recommend u to download
Firefox 12 from mozilla.org and
install it. It is the easiest way to
solve ur problem. There are many
other ways to solve the
problem.but the easiest way is
this.
First,uninstall ur firefox.
Then download the latest version of firefox from mozilla.org.install it and browse.
If not solve,just leave a reply.
Thanks a lot.

Firefox Sometimes Does Not Recognize Character Set

Firefox cannot decode some characters of english text or symbols and instead of characters appear some kind of codes. Just like you would surf to chinese website without chinese character set.
[http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1638/characterseterror.jpg Such as this here]
Why is it so in Firefox? I never saw this happening in Internet Explorer.

Pages that use Unicode (UTF-8) display a little box with the hex code if the character can't be displayed.
That allows you to look up the character in a table.
If you see such a box with hex code in it then that means that Firefox can't map a character to a specific font and you have to install a font that covers the affected characters. 
In your case you are lacking font support and fonts if it happens on sites that use CJK. 
You will see something similar on Windows XP if you visit pages that use complex scripts (e.g. Indic and Arabic). 
Windows XP only has very basic language support installed by default. 
There are a lot of languages on the world and there are always languages that may need special fonts. 
You most likely can't read them, so it is your choice if you want to install a font for such pages or just accept the little squares with the hex code.

Field on manual tabular appears using Firefox but does not appear using IE

Hello,
A field in a manual tabular form appears correctly using Firefox but does not appear or appears in another field when IE is used. Javascript is used to hide certain columns on the tabular form. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks pany

Prabodh,
The select for the report and the javascript that is used to hide the columns are displayed below. The data for Apex_item.select_list_from_lov(12,null,'LOV_METHOD_OF_ACQ') is shown in the previous column, Date Acquired, and the column for Method Acquired is blank. It appears correctly in Firefox. Please let me know if this is sufficient.
Thanks,
pany

The timekeeping system we use does not like HTML 5 so what is the latest version of Firefox that does not use HTML 5?

We have been told by our timekeeping system provider that the latest versions of FireFox, Chrome and IE are not compatible with their websites at this time. I was told that it was because of the use of HTML 5 by the more recent versions of these web browsers. I need to download the most recent version of FireFox that does not use HTML 5. Can anyone tell me which version this would be?

It isn't "Timesheet Next Generation", is it? We had a thread on that here: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/961306 Websites using php and mysql stopped sorting drop down lists properly starting last week. Did something change?]
Unfortunately, HTML5 is a large specification with a lot of parts that has been implemented in pieces over the course of several years. It would be really helpful if your vendor could indicate what EXACTLY is not compatible and then it could be researched. Otherwise, you'd have to use trial and error. Either way, you would end up with an older browser that isn't safe to run on the internet. It could be time to consider other vendors...

Install Firefox that does not update

Our company is moving to VDI (VMware View). In this process we would like to make Firefox our default browser. All of the users are not local admins, and therefore all updates end in errors.
Is it not possible to install a firefox that does not tjeck for updates? I beleve that this is a users specific setting, so when a user i assigned a mashine, this setting is set for the user. I need the firefox, not to update, for all users.

I see you're using FIrefox ESR. If that Firefox doesn't have this functionality don't think there is another one that implements this.
Setting each Firefox to not update itself for all users (manually) it's not possible for what you need, no ?
'''Firefox -> Options -> Advanced -> Update :'''
Check
'''Never check for updates.'''
instead of
'''Automatically install updates.'''
You need this to work on how many machines ?

Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?

Execution does not end even after all records updated..

Hi,
I have plsql code like :
declare
begin
for x in ( select .......) loop -- about 4000 times
for y in ( select ............) loop -- about 50 times
end loop;
-- some code goes here to manipulate clob data
-- like creating free temp clobs - use - then free them
-- Update statement that update some table using clob values.
insert into tablex values(sysdate);
commit;
end loop;
end;
Here I can monitor from other window howmany records are inserted into tablex and howmany updated in update statement by...
select count(1) from tablex;
After 50 mins i can see that all records are updated but...
plsql code does not end its execution it continues even after all records are updated..untill i have to kill the session or let be run for long time.. :(
I can not understand why this it is not ending execution..
What could be the problem ...

When I open a second tab in Firefox, it does not go to my home page. Instead it goes to a page that displays what looks like a collection of pages (or links) that I have visited in the recent or distant past. I would much rather have it go to my home page which is much more useful to me. I have tried to change this in 'Options' but with no luck. Please fix this.

How to remove records in itab where its HKONT does not end in '0'...

Hello Experts,
I am getting records from BSIS and BSAS and I want to remove those records with
their HKONT(GL account) does not end in '0'(zero). I do now want to do it via a loop.
I tried using DELETE FROM ITAB statement but it seems it does not work.
Here is what I did:
IF NOT gt_bsis_bsas[] IS INITIAL.
DELETE gt_bsis_bsas WHERE hkont+10(0) <> '0'.
ENDIF.
Hope you can help me guys. Thank you and take care!

Hi Viray,
'+' is a wildcard char which is used to represent one char
where as '*' represents any number of char's.
In this case +++++++++0
means that the length of the field is 10 chars and first 9 can be anything
he didn't use '*0' since it could mean that the length of the data entered can be anything .
Hope this clarifies
Regards

Excel process does not end properly

Hello All.
I am using excel in my program writing data into it an excel workbook and then later on reading data from it. I have written down the code of closing excel worlkbook and shutting down excel application hence releasing the handles for it. But when i do that i.e. when the code containing excel workbook closing and excel application shutting down executes, excel workbook is closed but excel process does not end properly and can be seen in the task manager. And when i repeatedly open the excel file through my front end interface and close the file, another excel process is added in the task manager which does not end and so on. What can be the problem and solution. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.
Moshi.

Interfacing to Excel via ActiveX may be tricky, ending in situations like the one you are facing now.
The basic principle is that every single handle opened to an Excel object (workbook, worksheet, range, variant and so on) must be closed properly for the entire process to terminate gracefully. If a reference remains unhandled at program end you will find an instance of Excel remaining in the task list and you may suffer erratic behaviour in subsequent accesses to the product.
You must double check all references and add approporiate dispose/close commands for every one of them.

Process does not end when binding a object to registry

I am writing a Unit Test case in which i need to create a datasource and bind it to RMI registry so that the methods i need to test can get a database connection . The problem is that after the test cases have finished running the process does not end and i have to shut it down manually . When i do not bind the datasource , the process ends put with errors because the methods do not get a connection. Even unbinding it after running the test cases does not help.

Firefox 5 does not support Google Tool Bar

Firefox 5 does not support Google Tool Bar

If it's an extension, it probably still works just fine with Firefox 5.0. However, because of Firefox' poor compatibility design, until Trend Micro releases a new version, you need to install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 and restart Firefox twice.
Each extension specifies the maximum compatible version, which is probably 4.0 in your case as Firefox did not give devs any time to verify and re-release their extensions for version 5.0.
The Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension basically tells Firefox to ignore the maximum compatible version so the extension can still work on version 5.0, just like it did on 4.0.

SM04 Session does not end.

Hi all,
I noted that SAP R/3 session does not automatically ended after a user logs off from the ESS Frontend. This will result in a increase in session in SM04 eventhough the users had logout from the portal.
I have adjusted some timeout parameter in transaction RZ10 in R/3 including rdisp/plugin_auto_logout and restarted the services. To test, i accessed the ESS Portal and access some IAC IVIEW. Thereafter, i logged off the portal and observed the session created in R/3 (SM04) and noted that the session including the RFC connections are not released at all.
Anyone face this issue before? How can i control so that after the user logoff from the portal, the session in SM04 is end.
Thanks in advance

Hi Sean,
I found some note on the session which i attached below. However in my EP server have dozens of web.xml. Which one should i configure? Would you able to help me on this? Some of my IAC view does not end while some do. Any idea on that?
Specifying HTTP Session Timeout
Use
You can specify a timeout period for HTTP sessions created in your Web application. If the session is inactive for this timeout period, it is invalidated by the Web container.
If you do not specify such a timeout explicitly, a default one of 30 minutes is assumed.
You can configure the HTTP session timeout using the web.xml descriptor.
Procedure
On the web.xml screen, proceed as follows:
1. Open the General screen.
2. To specify the timeout period, enter a value in the Session configuration Session timeout field.
The value is specified in minutes. If you enter a negative value in this field, HTTP sessions are never terminated because of a timeout. Instead, only an explicit logout by the user will terminate the corresponding session.
