I cannot figure out why my mozilla keeps hanging up. I've tried all your troubleshooting things. Can you help?

When I open a website or just checking my email (google) acount it hangs up, and says "not responding" and then take several seconds for it to continue. I have tried all your trouble shooting things and just can't seem to figure it out. Can you help

Sorry to hear about your problems. I can see that you have the avast browser module installed ([email protected]). This is been connected to other cases of Firefox crashing. Could you try disabling the add-on and see if it fixed the issue?

  • I installed dropbox in my applications and now I want to delete it.  Dragging it to the trash isn't working because I get a message that dropbox is open, but I have hardly used it at all and cannot figure out why or how it is open.

    When I try to uninstall dropbox I get a message that it's open, however, I never use dropbox and cannot figure out how to close it in order to move it to the trash.

    Look in the menubar for a blue icon shaped like an open box and click on it. Click on the gear icon and select quit. Now you can throw it away. DropBox is an almost faceless program - it puts an icon in the menu bar and that's all it shows.

  • New User Question - Simulation advancing on button but cannot figure out why

    Hello everyone.  I tried to do my due diligence in searching but I'm sure this is such an easy question no one else needed to ask it.  I have downloaded the Adobe Captivate 6 trial as we are attempting to do some simulation e-learning.  I have recorded all of my click captures and am now in the process of editing the project.  It automatically created a click box with the properties to paus project until user clicks.  This all works fine and allows me to click the next button and it moves to the next slide.  So I thought I would be clever and create a "Show me" Help button.  I created an arrow_1 and hid it from view.  Then created a button_2 with the text "Show Me" and when clicked it would show arrow_1.  The problem is that when this button is clicked, the arrow pops up but then the next slide is shown even though I never clicked the "Next" click box button that is supposed to advance the simulation.  Looking at the timeline the only thing with a pause symbol is the click box and I have attempted to change the properties on the button_2 action settings from attempts = 1, to infinate, to last attempt no action to disabled etc.  No matter what I do, if this button is in there, and it's clicked, it seems to ignore the pause simulation until someone clicks the click box properties.
    Am I doing this correctly?  It seemed pretty intuitive to create the show me box and show an arrow but with it in there, the simulation goes to the next page and I can't figure out why it's ignoring the click box.
    Any help would be apprectiated, I have looked for tutorials on simulations but they seem to be pretty sparse out there and the help file didn't have anything like this in there.
    Thanks again,
    -Will

    Well I don't know if this is the right way to do it but it's a way that works
    I created a 2nd button and had the first button disappear after the click to be replaced by a button that doesn't work.  This way the project still pauses so only the correct "Next" button process goes forward.  Kind of odd coming from a visual studio background but hey until I hear the right way to do it, this will work

  • On my new desktop, for the first time ever, I cannot access my gmail through Mozilla without getting a "get me out of here" option and I cannot figure out why.

    I have been trying all day to access gmail on mozilla. I installed, uninstalled, and re-installed Firefox and I keep getting the same warning whenever I try gmail. All other sites function perfectly.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • Cannot figure out why my bullet lists aren't correctly aligned

    Hello,
    I hope someone can help me on this because I'm totally lost. I've spend hours trying to figure out where the problem comes from, reading posts on-line, searching documentation, etc. and I'm getting nowhere. I'm struggling with bulleted lists which just won't aligned correctly with text paragraphs. I would expect the bullet to be horizontally aligned with previous/next paragraphs and the list text to be indented so that the bullet stands out to the left. Kind of almost the default one gets when creating a simple <ul> list without any formatting.
    This problem can be seen here. The bullets are outside their div. I've tried using "list-type-position: inside" on <ul> and/or <li>—this gets the bullets back inside the div but then the text isn't properly indented with respect to the bullet.
    I assume I've got some CSS precedence problem, but I can't find out where it is. I've validated my code with Dreamweaver CS4 + browser compatibility check. There are some issues left which I'm working on, but as far as I understand they shouldn't be related to this list problem. The only other parts where I'm using unordered lists are the top and side menus, but I've used explicit descendant selectors (I think) to avoid spreading my styling to other elements. Where am I wrong??
    I'm still new to HTML/CSS and learning, so be tolerant with my mistakes! I'm aware that I still have got tons to learn.
    Emilie

    Have you tried giving your ul a left margin with css,
    e.g.
    ul {
    margin-left: 1em;
    You can also use negative values to move it the other way.

  • Firefox stops responding immediately after startup. I've tried all the recommended troubleshooting methods and cannot figure out why.

    I have tried all of the recommended troubleshooting methods but none of them seem to work. This issue began despite no change being made to Firefox, or my computer; it just spontaneously stopped responding after launch.
    Not only does Firefox stop responding, but it also prevents any other programs from being launched, and make already launched programs extremely slow. Furthermore, once it stops responding, it becomes impossible to get rid of; the only way is to log off, or restart the computer entirely.

  • Impdp is referencing wrong dmpdir and I cannot figure out why

    Hi. So, here are the facts in my Oracle 11g database:
    Oracle considers /u03/admin/orcl/dpdump to be the datapump dir:
    SQL> select directory_path from dba_directories where directory_name = 'DATA_PUMP_DIR';
    DIRECTORY_PATH
    /u03/admin/orcl/dpdump
    The oracle user has DPUMP_DIR set to that directory as well:
    $ env
    DPUMP_DIR=/u03/admin/orcl/dpdump
    And in my parfile I have:
    $ cat impdp2.par
    directory=DPUMP_DIR
    Yet, when I try to execute impdp I get this:
    $ impdp ww_qa/ww_qa@orcl parfile=impdp2.par

    It looks like you are expecting your PAR file to interpret and replace environment variables with their actual values.
    Two things. One I'm not sure if the parameter files are interpreted that way (haven't tested, never had a need). Secondly, the DIRECTORY parameter needs an Oracle directory object; In this case you'd provide DATA_PUMP_DIR.
    Read up on the DIRECTORY parameter in the Utilities guide for your version at http://tahiti.oracle.com

    I want Steve Jobs Back!!! I'm seriously thinking of converting back to the older iTunes.We have a saying in my country,it goes,"If it's not broke,don't fix it!" Sometimes I think they do updates just to keep busy at their jobs or just to **** us off.I don't have time to learn new software everytime someone at apple gets a bright idea.At least they should think it through and test it well before giving it to us.Apple is not a small company,how come we got to work out all their bugs and problems?

  • Firefox keeps crashing and I cannot figure out why.

    I posted this question a few days ago and got 3 email responses, one of which asked for diagnostic codes related to the crashes. I have tried twice to reply to that email, but my mailer daemon will not let it go through because it thinks that I'm trying to send code or something, so I am going to copy and paste them here. Actually, I am going to post the last 5 Dx codes because it has now crashed twice in 10 minutes. If you want the others, I will try to email them from a different account (I have 4).

    Thanks for any help you can provide. I am running Win 7 Ultimate (64 bit) on a Pentium 3.3 Ghz with 2 Megs of RAM. The crashing problem has actually been happening for a while now, since version 25. However, now it is happening many times daily. It's not my virus protection because I have had 3 virus programs in the time it has been happening. It's not malware. I scan a minimum of 3 x/week. And yes, it has crashed in "Safe" mode. I have tried every suggestion in the help articles so it's not any of those. I just want someone to tell me what it IS and how to fix it. Thanks. Stephanie

  • Cannot figure out why "ORA-01000 Maximum open cursors" is shown...

    Hello there ...
    I am programming a PL/SQL Code that is throwing 0RA-01000 Maximum Open Cursors Exceeded.
    Having already read quite a lot about ORA-01000 errors, I know I should be closing cursors, and have already tried setting OPEN_CURSORS parameter to a high number (1000).
    I declared a lot of procedures in my pl/sql, each of which uses one cursor since i am working with a non-Oracle table linked by ODBC ... and each procedure sometimes does thousands of inserts -- but all WITHIN the explicit cursors. The explicit cursors are not declared within each loop.
    I already checked the code many times, and made sure all open cursors are closed. In addition, I also verified the numberopen cursors generated by the PL/SQL by running the following SQL after every procedure i run... and outputting it... and it appears the value just keeps on increasing, even though I had explicitly closed all the cursors in all the earlier procedures.
    What is funny is that the most number of cursors reported by the code below only hits 150+ cursors. Nowhere near the 1000 open_cursors limit per session.
    select a.value into strtxt --, b.name        
            from v$mystat a, v$statname b
            where a.statistic# = b.statistic#
            and a.statistic#= 3;When I run the procedures separately though, all the procedures run smoothly (even when I had not yet updated the open_cursors parameter).
    I was thinking of the following, but maybe you have some other ideas?
    Does this have anything to do with my procedures not being stored procedures?
    Or should i be committing records within my procedures instead of out of it?
    I really have run into a wall and would really appreciate any tips or helps on this. Thanks in advance!
    My basic pl/sql code looks like below. I did not give the actual details cause it will be too long (up to 5000 lines).

    PL/SQL code usually leaks reference cursors and DBMS_SQL cursors - as the ref cursor/DBMS_SQL interface used has a global (session static) scope.
    PL/SQL has an intelligent garbage collector that will close local implicit and explicit cursors, when the cursor variable goes out of scope.
    If you define an explicit cursor globally (package interface), then it can only be opened once. The 2nd attempt results in a ORA-06511: PL/SQL: cursor already open exception. So code cannot leak explicit cursors as code cannot reopen an existing opened explicit cursor.
    I have never seen Oracle leaking cursors internally. So I would be hesitant to call what you are seeing, a bug. If your code is using explicit cursors (even static/global ones), your code cannot leak these cursors, even if your code does not close them. Worse case - the cursor remains open, however new copies cannot be created while it is open.
    So I think your are looking at the wrong thing - explicit cursors. These are not the cursors that are leaking in my view (simply because code cannot reuse and open an already opened explicit cursor). Here is an example:
    SQL> show parameter cursors
    NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
    open_cursors                         integer     300
    session_cached_cursors               integer     50
    // procedure that seems to "leak" an explicit cursor handle
    // as it does not explicitly closes the handle
    SQL> create or replace procedure CursorUse is
      2          cursor c is select e.* from emp e;
      3          empRow  emp%RowType;
      4  begin
      5          open c;
      6          fetch c into empRow;
      7          --// not closing explicit cursor handle
      8          --// and going out-of-scope
      9  end;
    10  /
    Procedure created.
    // current session stats
    SQL> select b.name, a.value from v$mystat a, v$statname b where a.statistic# = b.statistic# and b.name like '%open%cursor%';
    NAME                                  VALUE
    opened cursors cumulative                91
    opened cursors current                    2
    // execute proc that "leaks" a cursor, 10000 times
    SQL> begin
      2          for i in 1..10000 loop
      3                  CursorUse;
      4          end loop;
      5  end;
      6  /
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    // no errors due to cursor leakage
    // session stats: no cursor leakage occurred as
    // PL/SQL's garbage collector cleaned (and closed)
    // cursor handles when these became out-of-scope
    SQL> select b.name, a.value from v$mystat a, v$statname b where a.statistic# = b.statistic# and b.name like '%open%cursor%';
    NAME                                  VALUE
    opened cursors cumulative            10,095
    opened cursors current                    2
    SQL> So the cursor leakage you are seeing is caused by something else... so what else is part of the code, or the session, that you have not yet mentioned?

  • MAC OS 10.9   some users cannot print to new Ricoh MP C6502   print job is holding for authentication and cannot figure out why

    I have a few IMAC and G5 users who have OS10.9 who cannot print to a new Richoh MP C6502, I downloaded and installed the new PS driver and it works on some systems but I have 3 people that goes right to Hold for Authentication.   I tried deleting everything associated with this in keychain access and after I did this it comes up to enter a password and it accepts the network login credentials but still holds the print job.  I even tried using guest as login and password as someone suggested but still cannot print any ideas on why?

    I apologize for the delay in responding to you.  I was on the road all day yesterday.
    OK.  I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network.  That did not work.  I swapped out the cable for one that I know works.  Still no change.  I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router.  No change.  I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
    As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
    Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?  
    After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection?

  • Silly old fogey (me) cannot figure out why this query returns 1 row

    Hi all,
    In reference to {thread:id=2456973}, why does
    select sum(count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null))) CLERKS
    , sum(count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null))) SALESMANS
    from emp group by job;only return 1 row and not 1 for each job? I actually had to test it myself to believe it.
    It returns data as if the query were
    select sum(CLERKS), sum(SALESMANS)
    from (select count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null)) CLERKS, count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS
             from emp group by job)Using only a single aggregate (either count or sum) returns 1 row per job, as expected

    Seems like Oracle actually can do a "double group by" in the same operation.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------There is both HASH GROUP BY and SORT AGGREGATE.
    It does not really make sense to do an aggregate on an aggregate - if both aggregates are used "on the same group-by level".
    The sum() aggregates are used upon an already aggregated value, so it does look like Oracle actually treats that as "first do the inner aggregate using the specified group by and then do the outer aggregate on the result with no group by."
    Look at this example where I combine "double" aggregates with "single" aggregates:
    SQL> select sum(count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null))) CLERKS
      2       , sum(count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null))) SALESMANS
      3       , count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS2
      4       , count(*) COUNTS
      5  from scott.emp group by job;
        CLERKS  SALESMANS SALESMANS2     COUNTS
             4          4          1          5

    |   1 |  SORT AGGREGATE     |      |     1 |     8 |     4  (25)| 00:00:01 |
    |   2 |   HASH GROUP BY     |      |     1 |     8 |     4  (25)| 00:00:01 |
    |   3 |    TABLE ACCESS FULL| EMP  |    14 |   112 |     3   (0)| 00:00:01 |
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------When mixing "double" and "single" aggregates, Oracle decides that single aggregates belong in the "outer" aggregation.
    SALESMAN2 is doing a count on the aggregated job column that is the result of the "inner" group by - therefore only 1.
    The count(*) also counts the result of the "inner" aggregation.
    I am not sure if this is documented or if it is a "sideeffect" of either the internal code used for GROUPING SETS or the internal code used for allowing analytic functions like this:
    SQL> select count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null)) CLERKS
      2       , count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS
      3       , sum(count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null))) over () CLERKS2
      4       , sum(count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null))) over () SALESMANS2
      5  from scott.emp group by job;
        CLERKS  SALESMANS    CLERKS2 SALESMANS2
             0          0          4          4
             4          0          4          4
             0          0          4          4
             0          0          4          4
             0          4          4          4

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------Personally I think I would have preferred if Oracle raised an error on this "double aggregation" and thus require me to write it this way (if that is the result I desired):
    select sum(CLERKS), sum(SALESMANS)
    from (select count(decode(job, 'CLERK', 1, null)) CLERKS, count(decode(job, 'SALESMAN', 1, null)) SALESMANS
             from emp group by job)I can not really think of good use-cases for the "double aggregation" - but rather that it could give you unnoticed bugs in your code if you happen to do double aggregation without noticing it.
    Interesting thing to know ;-)
