Firefox stops working properly after a period of time

btw, I can't type in this box. I'm typing this in another program and pasting it in.
Using Firefox 5. I just installed Lion yesterday for Mac, but this problem occurred even before I did so. After a period of time, FF stops working properly. I notice it when I try to open a new tab. It won't switch to the new tab and the screen turns blue. If I type in a web address, it looks like it tries to go there, but it doesn't. When I look at any other already open tab, it has the blue screen. I have to restart to get my proper web pages back.

Whenever I click on "More System Details" there are several things I hope I won't see. Your Conduit Engine is one of them. It is malware by any reasonable definition and a cause of major problems with Firefox.
Google for information and advice as to how to get rid of it. Someone may come along with more specific advice..
If things aren't perfect after that you could do some straightforward troubleshooting(Safe Mode, Problematic Extensions, Hardware Acceleration etc) - in default theme -

Mail stops receiving messages after a period of time

Every since installing Mavericks my Mail app stops receiving messages after a period of time. I know because I get the email on my phone, but I try to grab them in Mail and nothing. If I restart Mail then they come through.
I'm using Gmail as my email provider. Is anyone else suffering with this? Is there a work around?

Workaround or not, this is an annoyance, and that's a nice way of putting it. Coming from Mountain Lion, when Mail was working flawlessly, having to deal with this issue is just plain ridiculous. What happened to the Mail application? I don't understand how Apple could screw this up to badly.
Every time I restart or reset the connection to the servers, the Mail app is downloading thousands of messages (I can see the display on the bottom-left). I have no idea what it's doing or why, for that matter. If Apple doesn't fix this soon, I will seriously be forced to look for an alternative, which saddens me greatly. I really like Mail, but if it cannot reliably get my mail simply because I've left it open too long, or hidden it behind another window, I will stop using it.
What's worse is that I've had similar issues with other applications like iPhoto and iTunes. Whatever is happening to Mail is probably not just application-specific. It's probably OS-specific. I hope Apple is working on it and that we will see a major update to Mavericks soon. All I know is that, right now, I'm seriously regretting upgrading to Mavericks.

Catalyst Control Center stopped working properly after widows update

When I let Windows Update install the newest catalyst control center driver I could not open catalyst control center so I tried to do a system restore but it failed because It said my anti virus was preventing this with the error code 0x80070005.I first tried to disable the anti virus shields and restore didnt work. Then I uninstalled the anti virus and went to safe mode but it gave my the same error. Now Catalyst Control Center opens but the only feature available is HydraVision. I still cannot change the picture and graphics settings because they are not there to select in CCC.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I understand that your Catalyst Control Center (CCC) program on your desktop computer has stopped working correctly after downloading Windows update drivers for it, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! To correct this issue, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point to before the Windows updates were installed. This can be done by following this resource on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7). Once the restore point has been enabled, you can update your CCC and graphics drivers by following this document on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7). Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Firefox stopped working properly, it says it cannot initialize the applications security component...

Firefox starts with this: Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.
it then opens and will not let me click anything, just opens the homepage and stops, tried reinstalling and it still doesn't work.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Screenshots stopped working properly after 10.5.7 update

Hi everybody,
after the 10.5.7 whenever I take a screenshot of my Mac using COMMANDSHIFT3 I get a mostly green picture instead of the correct screenshot.
Please have a look at the picture... any idea of what might be causing it?
The strange thing is that, most of the time, COMMANDSHIFT4 or COMMANDSHIFT+3SPACE work correctly.
Thanks!

The problem seems to have disappeared after running Applejack autopilot (repair disk, permissions, flush cache, check pref files, etc...).
Thanks anyway!

External WD HD stopped working properly after routine software update

Hello
I have WD my studio external HD connected to my iMac 24" early 2009 with OS 10.6.8. This morning everything was working fine, but then I updated the software after I was prompted. I had not updated the software since last july.
After the update, I got a message saying that the external HD could not be repaired. Very strange, as it was working perfectly before the update. I tried to restart the computer, but i got the same message.
I tried the few usual things (unmounting, disconnetting, repairing with disk utility etc,) with no success. Everything behaves funny, in the sense that sometimes the HD does not mount, sometimes it mounts, but it has a different icon (I used it to back up with time machine), sometimes it is greyish in the list of HD in finder, and I can't change permissions on it (i have write and read permissions, but they're greyish and there's nothing i can do).
Any suggestions?
thanks

I tested it on another computer and it works perfectly.
On my regular computer, when I start it, i get this message "Mac OS can't repair the disk "My Book". You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can't save changes to the files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat if as soon as you can".
As I said earlier, the problem occurred after I updated the software (the software updates that Mac OS always suggests). I worked perfectly before the update, and I got the error message when the Imac restarted after the update.
Suggestions?

How to stop refreshing jsp after a period of time

Dear all,
Anyone has idea of how to stop jsp page refreshing after I get result from Backend?
I am using META tag to do refreshing in jsp: HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="60
After I got the result from back end, say after there's a "status" bean property changed from "processing" to
"successful".The refreshing activity is disabled?Any good way to do that?

Why don't you use listener to listen to changed events within your application and set you refresh status flag up when changes occur

SysIntr stops being triggered after a period of time

Hi,
I am developing a driver for the AM335x processor in Windows Embedded Compact 2013 which uses an ISR triggered by a SysIntr.
I'm using the following code to intialize the interrupt
pDevice->device = AM_DEVICE_DCAN1;irq[0] = (DWORD) -1;
irq[1] = OAL_INTR_STATIC;
irq[2] = GetIrqByDevice(pDevice->device,NULL);pDevice->hIntrEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, FALSE, FALSE, NULL);KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_REQUEST_SYSINTR,irq,sizeof(irq),&pDevice->dwSysintr,sizeof(pDevice->dwSysintr),NULL);
InterruptInitialize(pDevice->dwSysintr,pDevice->hIntrEvent,NULL,0);
The ISR contains the following function
dwRet = WaitForSingleObject(pDevice->hIntrEvent, 10000);
The interrupt works fine for a few hours, then all of a sudden it stops being fired.
I know that the ISR is still running because the dwRet == WAIT_TIMEOUT condition is met.
The device I am using is DCAN1 and I know that the hardware is still functioning because the system is still regularly transmitting data through the CAN bus.
I have tried to write some code to re-initialize the SysIntr which executes when the WAIT_TIMEOUT condition is met:
ResetEvent(pDevice->hIntrEvent);
InterruptDone(pDevice->dwSysintr);
InterruptDisable(pDevice->dwSysintr);
if (KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_RELEASE_SYSINTR, &pDevice->dwSysintr, sizeof(pDevice->dwSysintr), NULL, 0, NULL)){
Sleep(1000);
DWORD irq[3];
irq[0] = (DWORD)-1;
irq[1] = OAL_INTR_STATIC;
irq[2] = GetIrqByDevice(pDevice->device, NULL);
if ((irq[2] == (DWORD)-1))
RETAILMSG(ZONE_ERROR, (L"ERROR: CAN_ISR: unable to get the interrupts %u, Device %u\r\n", irq[2], pDevice->device));
// Request a SYSINTR for DCAN
if (KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_REQUEST_SYSINTR, irq, sizeof(irq), &pDevice->dwSysintr, sizeof(pDevice->dwSysintr), NULL) == FALSE)
RETAILMSG(ZONE_ERROR, (L"ERROR: CAN_ISR: unable to request a SYSINTR\r\n"));
if (pDevice->hIntrEvent)
CloseHandle(pDevice->hIntrEvent);
// Initialize Interrupts
if (InterruptInitialize(pDevice->dwSysintr, pDevice->hIntrEvent, NULL, 0) == FALSE)
RETAILMSG(ZONE_ERROR, (L"ERROR: CAN_ISR: unable to initialize the interrupt\r\n"));
else
RETAILMSG(ZONE_ERROR, (L"ERROR: CAN_ISR: unable to release SYSINTR\r\n"));
This code fails upon calling the InterruptInitialize() function.
I'm doing some stress testing so there is a lot of data throughput (every few ms I send a frame) but this shouldn't mean that the interrupt stops firing.
Has anyone had a similar issue?
Is anyone here familiar with using the sysintr for DCAN1 on the AM335x processor?
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong when I try to reinitialize the interrupts?
Thanks.

Yes, I've seen the same on iMX53 with WEC2013 (problem does not occur on WEC7).
I found that calling InterruptDone once more fixes the issue. This seems to be a problem in the WEC2013 kernel where the interrupt does not get unmasked, but so far I haven't been able to reproduce in our iMX6 BSP and I haven't done enough deep investigation
to say this is a kernel issue for sure.
Funny enough I also saw the issue first when doing CAN stress testing on iMX53/WEC2013, but have also been able to reproduce later with a simple GPT interrupt. Same tests runs fine on WEC7 (exactly the same BSP and test code, except some assembly code diffs
in the BSP between WEC7/8).
Good luck,

Asha 501 : Whatsapp not working properly after 14....

Hi,
whatsapp is not working properly after software update, some times contacts never sync. screen goes pale and chat window doesn't show properly.
Looks like memory problem after the new updates or anything else?

Similar complains around the web. I'd recommend getting the phone flashed at a care point to see if that improves the situation.
Do wait for a couple of weeks for the full firmware files to be available at the respective care centers. AFAIK, they are not yet available in India.

Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly

Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. FOR THE UMPTEENTH DAMN TIME... HOW DO I FIX THIS on Firefox 3.6.13!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
''edited by a moderator - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines ''

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
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.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

I get the following message: Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. What do I do?

the message:" Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly" appears regularly in my maintenance center. I am on Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.17

I had the same type of failure. It was caused by a FF upgrade from V4 to V9.1. Dearing 1955 did not say what version caused the problem. My USB ports started acting up. I could not install the Webcam that was installed before. The HP Scanner of my OJ 8500 stopped working (USB). Did get it to work via Wireless. Removing FF did not clear the problem. Believe I have infected USB driver now.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly. Is there a fix/test.

After installing Maverick on my macbook pro, imessage on my ipad and Iphone stopped working properly.
What I get is a RED exclamation and "Not Delivered". It happens even if i resend it over and over.
I have made sure that the 3 devices all have the same settins in iMessage.
I have made sure to try doing it from the same network and from the cell provider network.
I have tried rebooting all three devices.
The only way to get it to work on my iphone and iPad is to dissable it in Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
Is this a "feature" of the new OS?

Hi,
On the iOS devices remove the Apple ID.
Set the device in to Airplane Mode (this breaks with the server)
Start with the iPhone to add back the Apple ID - only after you see the iPhone Number is Verified.
The Restart the Mac Version
Accept the pops ups that state what the iPhone is using.
Do same on iPad.

HT3669 After update the printer HP Deskjet F300 Series stopped working properly

I would like to notify you that i use drivers for HP Deskjet F300 Series Version 1.0.1 and after this update the version upgraded in version 2.0.0 and the printer stopped working properly. I removed from library all folder of HP drivers and then i re-install old version from .dmg file from this official link of HP and now it works properly again.

Hi ds5710,
I understand you have a Deskjet F300 series printer that is currently telling you it's offline and won't print. I will certainly do my best to assist you in resolving this issue.
If you're using Windows, I would suggest you start by downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor as it should be able to rectify whatever is causing your printer to show as offline.
If that doesn't resolve your issue, or you're using a Mac, please get back to me with which version of Windows or Mac that you're using and I will certainly see what else we can do!
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post resolved your issue, as it will help others find the solution faster

Firefox stopped working and won't install after I uninstall and reinstall.

Firefox stopped working one day. It would not load anything. I followed the directions and completely uninstalled and then reinstalled Firefox. It goes through the process and then says Firefox will load momentarily. It never does. Also, what do you have against hiring people to answer questions in person?

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container 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 and the updater process.
