Firefox start taking more memory without stop, even when closed

Hi Firefox Team,
I have been Firefox user for almost 10 years. I love your product. But recently Firefox has show an estrange behavior. After use my laptop (VAIO, Intel i7, 12GB RAM, 256 SSD, Windows 7 Professional x64) without restart it for a couple of days (instead of restart, I sleep it), and with Firefox (35.0.1) running the same period of time, it start to take memory without stop, 5MB/s approximately. A couple of time I did some test and it reach 2 GB of RAM and continue. Also, even if I close Firefox, it still running on background taking the memory, so I have to end it from Task Manager.
Please let me know which evidence or test should I perform so I can send you more information, beside description.
Regards,
Ricardo

I guess you allocated 100 G(arbitrary value) to buffer pool. Even though in SQL Server 2012 buffer pool was changed to cater to memory requests for many processes which were previously satisfied by Windows API directly (not from buffer pool) still there
are processes which can cause memory allocation outside buffer pool and thus increase SQL server memory consumption more than what is assigned to buffer pool so what you are seeing IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR.

How much RAM does your system has and what is Max server memory ?
SQL server once taken memory will not release until SQLOS asks it to do so upon seeing low memory notification flag. Memory is managed dynamically and SQL Server by default caches as much as possible to avoid I/O reads which is time taking an costly

Allocated heap memory goes up even when there is enough free memory

Hi,
Our Java application's memory usage keep growing. Further analysis of the heap memory using JProbe shows that the allocated heap memory goes up even when there is enough free memory available in the heap.
When the process started, allocated heap memory was around 50MB and the memory used was around 8MB. After few hours, the inuse memory remains at 8MB (slight increase in KBs), but the allocated memory went upto 70MB.
We are using JVM 1.5_10. What could be the reason for heap allocation going up even when there is enough free memory available in heap?

[svn] 3718: Make sure the server is stopped even when a unit test fails.

Make sure the server is stopped even when a unit test fails. Thanks to Alex for the fix.
Modified Paths:
blazeds/trunk/modules/core/build.xml

I had the same issue after upgrading from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 and changing my main SSL cert.
The solution was to make sure the correct cert was listed in:
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
as well as:
/etc/openldap/slapd.d/cn=config.ldif
It looks as though the slapd.conf file gets updated properly when you select an SSL cert in the Server Admin app, but the cn=config.ldif does not. That is the one that was hanging my server up.
Hope this helps!

Why does Firefox keep grabbing more memory and never releasing it until you have to restart it?

Firefox starts out taking up a relatively small amount of memory, but with use it takes more memory (1,000K) which is never released even when tabs are closed. I run Firefox on a Pentium HT system, 4GB RAM, Win XP Prof and on a Core i3 system, 4GB RAM, Win 7 Home Premium (64 bit) and see the same behavior on both systems. Is anyone working on a fix for this? I did not include the troubleshooting info because it made the question too long to post.

The problem is not in restarting, the problem is that Firefox (8.0.1 in my case) starts out grabbing about 300,000 K according to the task manager and keeps on gobbling up memory until it gets up over 1,000,000 K at which point it usually crashes. The point at which it crashes is usually between 1,000,000 K and 1,500,000 K. It also grabs an enormous number of processor cycles from time to time; enough processor cycles and memory that Norton 360 posts an alert.

Firefox constantly runs in the background even when closed

Hi
I have Firefox 3.6.8 running on Windows Vista.
I have found that Firefox constantly runs in the background even when i have just booted up the computer or when i have closed it.
Firefox seems to constantly run with 5000-20000 K bytes in the memory.
When i have Firefox running to look at webpages, there are two processes running. When i close Firefox there is one process running. If i end the process using the task manager, it only takes seconds before it starts to run again.
I know this isnt normal because i keep a good eye on the processes running on my computer. So unless the latest version of Firefox requires this process running all the time, it looks like i have a probably.
Ive scanned my computer with zonealarm, avast, superantispyware and spybot to scan my computer for viruses. One of the pieces of software found a virus and it deleted it successfully.
Im not too sure if this is a virus that is hiding in my system or whether its part of the latest version of Firefox.
Firefox isnt showing the usual signs of a virus. As in it doesnt try to redirect me to random websites and it doesnt try to get me to download something.
I hope someone can help me please.
Rob

After talking to someone very helpful on the live chat support.
It appears like i have a virus that is very good at hiding from detection from anti-virus/spyware software.
No idea what intentions the virus has as its not showing any sort of virus like behaviour.
I called the old installation a different name and closed the Firefox process. A few seconds later, instead of a Firefox process starting again a different executable started.

PowerBook G4 shuts down without warning even when battery is over 60%

My powerbook has started to shut down without any warning - even if the battery is over 60% charged. The battery is the second (being sent free by apple under the replacement programme). I cannot restart until I have inserted the power cable.
I have tried to reset the PMU - but, following the instructions from apple support ('after shut down simultaneously press Shift - ctrl - option - power, wait 5 secs then press power button') does not work - PMU does not seem to reset. Apparently, when the PMU has been reset, the time and date change and need reseting - but this does not happen - and mine still shows the current date time after attempting a PMU reset.
so - still the Powerbook still shuts down working on a nearly full battery. Battery info seems ok.
I think this is a software problem - any ideas?

Hi, Pieterrr, and welcome to Apple Discussions. No, my post above is absolutely not an official (or unofficial) statement from Apple. These are user-to-user forums. I'm just another Powerbook user like yourself; I have no connection with Apple. Apple employees very rarely post in these forums, and Apple policies are never announced here.
What I wrote is a personal view and recommendation based on reading all the posts in the 15" Aluminum Powerbook forums for a while now. I've posted very similar comments many times before, and some (not all) owners of prematurely-old replacement batteries have succeeded in persuading Apple to replace them again after I suggested trying to do so.

IMac has decided to start typing letters on its own even when a keyboard isnt connected.

hello
i have an imac that is just over a year old that has at first started typing what looked like latin or greek letters it was running Lion so i upgraded it to Mountain Lion, fixed any permission errors on the drive and then zapped the PRAM. Now its phantom types single letters like "o" or "i" even when there is no keyboard attached.
this occured even when i had booted from a thumb drive so i could run the hardware test (which i had to set in sys prefs because holding opt wasnt working on startup to select startup drive).
any ideas or help would be appreciated
mark

Since this occurs when booted from a different system (on the thumb drive) it must be a hardware issue. You will need to get it looked at and repaired.
Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the iMac in to an Apple retail store or service provider.
Best of luck.

When I play my Ipod shuffle 3rd gen there's a moment when I start hearing interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down.

My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down. First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same

You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it. After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again. As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

Automatically connects to sync and will start playing music all the time even when not using sync

My iPhone 4S will automatically start playing music as soon as I start my vehicle with sync.you can't hear it but on the screen it shows its playing even when listening to the radio

Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it. If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup. They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices. However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

Executable does not stop running when closed

I am trying to build an executable, but it does not stop running when I quit. I have to stop it through the task manager. How can I make it actually stop the .exe thread?
I have confirmed that the loop stops running, and have even tried connecting it to the "stop" function.
Thank you!

But you left the right side tunnel unwired from the the inside (so the event reg terminal OUT contains the valid refnum to the user event you just tried to destroy) Event terminals behave like SRs with invisable wires in every case that is not wired
Here is an example demoing just this behavior.
I'm sorry, but I can't see th eexample because I am running 2009. I think I understand. I've cleaned up the code a little bit, and added a shift register for the events. Is this what I needed to do? This still does not solve the problem, unfortunately. If I close, the "Quit" sequence properly executes, (including closing of the front panel), but the thread still does not close.

Connecting HP Notebooks to External Devices even when closed

Dear HP Community,
Even if you are a notebook user, once in a while, when working in the office, you would love to hook-up your notebook computer to a bigger LCD Monitor, plug-in either a regular full-size USB keyboard and mouse, or a wireless keyboard and mouse.
I am doing it now, but the akward part is that my notebook has to be open and turned-on to be able to do this, is there any development in HP that would let the user hook up his/her HP notebook to an LCD monitor and keyboard and mouse, and with a push of a botton on the notebook (even when the lcd-lid is closed) can turn the notebook into a "small footprint" desktop unit...
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Dont know about at the push of a button, however you could configure (in power saving options under control panel) your machine so if the lid is shut, it only turns the laptop monitor off, as opposed to sleep mode/hibernate.
Would be the way id tackle it anyway mate.
