How can I optimize my browser? I'm having serious issues in Hotmail, forcing me to constantly refresh the page, then I lose all my text when I do!

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 [& Vista os], and can't find any relevant info in Firefox 'Help' re: optimizing browser.
I wrote Hotmail about my problem below, and they say I need to optimize my browser. They don't give instructions for how to do this in Firefox.... when I search in your 'help' contents, nothing close comes up.
I also have the concern whether someone else is accessing my account, since the error mssg says something to the effect "when you access your acct from more than one computer"....
Please help - Thank you!
This is VERY frustrating, to say the least! I have major deadlines, and Hotmail is so bad I can't get my work done!!
Ever since the 'upgrade', I am forced to almost constantly refresh my browser, and then when I do, my email and all my text goes away! Sometimes I am prompted to refresh when I have just logged in.... It asks me to refresh my browser sometimes once a minute.... sometimes more often!
When I hit refresh, it actually causes the current page to disappear, and it comes back as a blank email with all my text gone! And hitting the 'back' button does not bring me back to the page I lost.
Most of the time I can't even save my work as a draft, because it asks me to refresh [again], and then the email is gone and there's no draft to be found.
This is *very* time consuming!! I've had to figure out how to work around this problem, but my 'fix' is also very tedious and time consuming....
I'm constantly copying my text so I have a current copy of my email, then when I lose the draft, I paste it back in... I often go in circles with this, and eventually I'll have my current draft saved.
Also, sometimes when it prompts me to refresh, just hitting the 'save draft' button a few times will suffice. So at least I won't lose my page, because, sometimes hitting 'save draft' actually works.... Eventually, tho, it'll force me to refresh before I can move on to sending the email.
Please help!! I've been using Hotmail since before MS bought it, and this problem is SO bad I'm considering jumping ship so I can get my work done!!
I don't generally like upgrades, as it usually means there will be problems, and the upgrade was released before being fully tested!.... I don't like being a guinea pig, especially when I have deadlines!
Please help - Thank you!

You can try to copy the text to the clipboard (Ctrl + A and Ctrl +C) if you need to refresh.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

How do I optimize my Firefox browser on a MAC?

My computer has slowed drastically the last 2 days and occasionally the browser crashes. I have been advised to optimize my browser.

Hi megdclark,
Here is an article that will help you show your iTunes sidebar:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Show or hide the Status Bar and Sidebar
In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
Show Status Bar - Choose View > Show Status Bar (this feature will conveniently display the number of items and playback time for a category, for example, music or movies).
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Braden

How can I optimize the performance of my HTML5 project?

The link to my project is below. It is very slow to load most slides until they are cached in the browser. It appears that it is waiting until I advance to the slide in order to download the content. It takes up to 5 seconds to display the content of a slide, and often times it shows the spinning loading icon. With HTML5 output, it automatically converts my 1280x720 images to PNG files which does not help. How can I optimize this project to make everything load faster? Is there a way for Captivate to constantly download slides before you view them? Please let me know if you have suggestions.

Thanks

Pasting into a blank project is not a nice option because it requires reconfiguring all of the buttons.They all reset to "Continue" when I do that. I would probably need to re-enter the Advanced Actions as well. There's no reason to think that would speed up the application.
You can see the content in the link up top: http://www.anacore.com/MediaStationSalesTool/. There are mostly slides with video and slides with 1280x720 images. Click the grey buttons to navigate and use the bottom right buttons to return home. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Jim

How do you get Safari Browser back on your Iphone if your daughter erased it?

how do you get safari browser back on your iphone if your 4 yr. old daughter deletes it by accident?

You cannot delete Safari.
It is either on another page, in a folder, or you have restirctiosn set.
Check all three of these possibiities.

I am trying to use an education program that needs Java applets to install and use and it will not use Safari. When I download IE from the web it will not install. How can I get a browser that will work on my MacAir for travel use of this program?

I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

How to include optimizer hints in Discoverer

We have a Discoverer report which used to run fine prior to DB migration from (9.2.0.6 to 10G Rac 10.2.0.4).
Since the database is migrated to 10g RAC same reports is running for longer time and failes with ROW_ID error,
we ran the sql generated by the report in SQL Plus with below optimizer hint.
Select /*+ optimizer_features_enable('9.2.0') */
this query ran well with optimizer hint, but i am wondering how to use the optimizer hint in Discoverer Plus/Desktop.
Select /*+ optimizer_features_enable('9.2.0') */
C.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER||' '||A.EMPLOYEE_NAME, A.REPORTS_TO, C.SERVICE_CODE, COUNT(B.ACCOUNT_NUMBER)
FROM PSTAGE.NEW_EMPLOYEE_MASTER A,
PSTAGE.NEW_ALL_WORK_ORDER_MASTER B,
PSTAGE.NEW_ALL_WORK_ORDER_DETAIL C
WHERE ( ( B.WORK_ORDER_NUMBER = C.WORK_ORDER_NUMBER AND B.SITE_ID = C.SITE_ID )
AND ( A.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER = C.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER AND A.SITE_ID = C.SITE_ID ) )
AND ( B.WO_STATUS <> 'CN' )
AND ( C.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER = ANY(SELECT S254_200018.EMPLOYEE_NUMBER
FROM PSTAGE.NEW_EMPLOYEE_MASTER S254_199317,
PSTAGE.NEW_ALL_WORK_ORDER_MASTER S254_199854,
PSTAGE.NEW_ALL_WORK_O
Thanks in advance

Hi Sunil
In the Administrator tool, you can add hints to the driving folder used in your query. A first glance at your report seems to indicate that B might be the driver.
If you launch the Administrator tool, open the business area then right-click on the folder in question you can select Properties. The second to last property is called Optimizer hints. Try setting the same hint in here exactly the way you would do it inside SQL.
I am not 100% sure whether this would take as this isn't a folder hint per se, but it is worth a try. You might also want to look at this thread: how to design Optimizer hints to the generated SQL
Another thing to check is to look at the code that is being generated by your Discoverer worksheets. Do you by chance see a NOREWRITE hint being added? This is a common issue with newer systems. This hint tells the database that the query cannot be rewritten which in most cases will cause poor performance. If this is happening to you I advise you to disable that hint. This is done by editing the pref.txt and adding a new preference called
Out of the box, Discoverer Plus will sometimes add the NOREWRITE hint. This will cause Plus worksheets to operate much slower than Desktop worksheets. You can disable the NOREWRITE hint by adding a new preference called UseNoRewriteHint to pref.txt in the Database section. After you have done this you will have to run the apply preferences script.
[Database]
UseNoRewriteHint = 0
Be sure to close all of your IE windows so that a new JVM is loaded.
For example, you might turn on UseNoRewriteHint (i.e. set it to 1) if you want users to always query against the latest data (e.g. created today), even though this might be slower than querying the summary data (e.g. created yesterday). The NOREWRITE hint instructs the optimizer to disable query rewrite for the query block, which overrides the setting of the parameter QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED.
Default Value: 0
Valid Values
0 = Do not add the NOREWRITE hint. This is the one I recommend.
1 = Do add the NOREWRITE hint.
Another possible area is with query prediction. This is taken from an Oracle Note: Under some circumstance when you run a query against an Oracle 10g database, the queryprediction might take up the majority of time and CPU may hit 100%.
The cause for this is an an Oracle10g (10.1) database issue but seeing as you are on 10.2 this might not be an issue any more. I throw it out there just in case you still hvae issues and want to raise this with Oracle. The last I heard is that the root cause was still under investigation in an unpublished Bug:4024370. There was a workaround to the issue:
1. Disable Query Prediction (strongly recommended anyway):
For Plus/Viewer:
Edit pref.txt on the middle-tier server and set QPPEnable=0
Run the applypreferences script (.sh or .bat)
For Desktop:
Edit the registry and set QPPEnable=0
HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\ORACLE\Discoverer <version>\Database
2. If you still wish to use Query Prediction while the database issue is being investigate, then you can configure the Query Predictor to use the Explain Plan method rather than the Dynamic Views method.
For Plus/Viewer:
Edit pref.txt on the middle-tier server and set QPPObtainCostMethod=0
Run the applypreferences script (.sh or .bat)
For Desktop:
Edit the registry and set QPPObtainCostMethod=0
HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\ORACLE\Discoverer <version>\Database
Hope this helps

How to hide "View in Browser" and "Edit in Browser" from ECB injected by Office Web Apps Feature

Hi,
i am currently using custom_AddDocLibMenuItems to implement a custom ECB menu for my document library. I need to activate Office Web Apps. My custom_AddDocLibMenuItems has two items
-> custom dialog
-> open in office web apps
After activating the Office Web Apps Feature at the SiteCollection Level, this Feature "injects" in my custom menu the following
additional menu items:
-> View in Browser
-> Edit in Browser
Its curious to see that, cause implementing the js function custom_AddDocLibMenuItems with
return true should be the way to impolement a custom ECB menu without having other features/solutions injecting things in this menu!? Or did i misunderstood something here?
My question is: How can i prevent this ...
a) without deactivating the Office Web Apps Feature
b) without modifying the core.js
I hope someone can help!
Best Regards
Bog

How to setup the Safari (browser) to be able play all the video on youtube?

How to setup the Safari (browser) to able play all the video on youtube? On Screen: Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Thanks.

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin which is unrelated to either iPhone or IMovie.
Uninstall your current copy of Flash then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Relaunch your browser. Empty the browser cache. If you use Safari, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache

How to detect the Acrobat Browser Plug-in version installed on a users system for non-IE browsers?

How to detect the *Acrobat Browser Plug-in version* installed on a users system, on Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc?
Or one script for detecting Plug-in version for major browsers. Need full example code.

Wrote an article on this with code samples (Javascript + HTML) - basically there are differences between IE and other browsers. Chrome natively comes with the Chrome PDF Viewer so I've incorporated that in my detection script.
The script detects the browser type, and the installed acrobat version...
Have a look here:

How do I clear the browsing history on my iPad?

How do I clear the browsing history on my iPad 2?

Settings > Safari > Clear History (and Clear Cookies And Data if you want to clear them as well).
If you also want to clear your search history (i.e. the words/phrases that you've typed in the search box) then you may also need to close Safari completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

How do I update the browser on the MacBookPro? I would like to get newer version of Safari; however, if that is not possible, is there a version of anything that I can get for MAC OS 10.5.8?

How do I update the browser on the MacBookPro? I would like to get newer version of Safari; however, if that is not possible, is there a version of anything that I can get for MAC OS 10.5.8?

Hi kwalker08865,
It would appear that the most recent version of Safari that is compatible with OS X 10.5.8 would be Safari 5.0.6. If this would meet your needs, you can find more information and a download link on the following page:
Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
