I need help in finding ways to improve the speed of Firefox

Hello Everyone, A week ago after using 'system restore' an error message came up saying "XPCOM failed to load". Not really knowing what to do I rebooted my computer using the "Last know configuration to have worked" or something to that effect and then I had to install the latest version of Firefox, 29.0.1 and it cleared that error message. But now my computer is beyond being slow, it's worse than that. I went on to the Firefox start page, clicked on menu, then help, and then troubleshooting information and it advised me to reset Firefox which I did, but then a window appeared saying something to the effect of "Well this is embarrassing and Firefox can't be reset" because of an existing open page and something else, and at the bottom of that window it said to either restore or close. When I first brought up the page where it says to Reset Firefox, I noticed under the Graphics heading that there were three things that were blocked, Direct2D Enabled, GPU Accelerated Windows, and WebGL Renderer. Next to each of those headings to the right it said that "blocked for your graphics driver version, try updating your graphics driver to version 182.65 or newer". Not being a computer whiz I'm not sure if any of those things could be the cause of my computer operating at a snails pace. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That XPCOM error requires a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default (This will not delete important stuff like history, bookmarks, and addons!):
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

  • Need help to find photo's on my backup drive,since installing Mountain Lion cannot find where they are stored.The backups after ML install are greyed out except in Applications, MyFiles and Devices really welcome a hand with this please.

    I need help to find my photo's please (2500) on my backup drive.Lost them after doing a clean install of Mountan Lion I have tried to find them but had no luck.  I use Time Machine with a 1TB Western Digital usb drive. Thanking anyone in anticipation of a solution.

    -Reece,
    We only have 1 single domain, 1 domain forest, no subdomains, only alias. I had replied to the other post as well. But I am happy to paste it here in case anyone want to read it.
    So, after a few months of testing, capture and sending logs back and forth to Apple Engineers, we found out there is a setting in AD, under User Account that prevent us to log into AD from Mountain Lion. If you would go to your AD server, open up a user account properties, then go to Account tab, the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" option is checked. As soon as I uncheck that option, immediately I was able to log into AD on the Mac client. Apple engineers copied all my AD settings and setup a test environment on their end and match exact mine AD environment. They was able to reproduce this issue.
    The bad part about this is... our environment required the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" is checked in AD, in order for our users to login into some of our Unix and Linux services. Which mean that it is impossible for us to remove that check mark because most, if not all of them some way or another require to login into applications that run on Unix and Linux. Apple is working to see if they can come up with a fix. Apparently, no one has report this issue except us. I believe most of you out there don't have that check mark checked in your environment... Anyone out there have any suggestion to by pass or have a work around for this?

  • Need help in finding the number of occurrences of a pattern.

    Hi All,
    I need help in finding the number of occurrences of a pattern in a table's column's data.
    Consider sample data - one row's column from a table:
    "S-S-S-A-S-S-P-S-S-B-S-A-P-S-S-C"
    My requirement is:
    I should get the count of S's which are immediately preceded by A or P.
    for the above data i should get count as 3+2+1=6 (S-S-S-A, S-S-P, S-A)
    The pattern data is stored as VARCHAR2 type.
    Thanks in advance,

    I am sure there exists a better way then this one:

  • Need help in finding patterns and there counts

    Hi All,
    I need help in finding patterns as well as number of occurrences of those patterns in a table's column's data.
    Consider sample data - one row's column from a table:
    "S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P"
    My requirement is:
    I should get all the patterns that are followed by 'S'.
    Example: for the above given data the patterns and counts are
    SS - count is 3
    SP - count is 2
    SB - count is 1
    SS - count is 1
    There is one more condition for the above requirement:
    If 'S' is followed by 'A', then 'SA' should not be considered as a pattern. The pattern should stretch until a non 'A' character is found.
    Consider sample data for the above case:
    "S-S-A-S-S-A-A-C-S-P-S-A"
    for the above given data the patterns and counts are
    SS - count is 2
    SP - count is 1
    SAS - count is 1
    SAAC - count is 1
    The data column is stored as VARCHAR2 type.

    Thanks in advance,
    Girish GWhenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data.
    For example, your sample data might be:
    CREATE TABLE     table_x
    (       x_id     NUMBER     PRIMARY KEY
    ,     txt     VARCHAR2 (30)
    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, txt) VALUES (1, 'S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P');
    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, txt) VALUES (2, 'S-S-A-S-S-A-A-C-S-P-S-A');and the results you want from that data might be:
    X_ID TXT                       PATTERN                          CNT
       1 S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P     SB                                 1
       1 S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P     SC                                 1
       1 S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P     SP                                 2
       1 S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P     SS                                 3

       2 S-S-A-S-S-A-A-C-S-P-S-A   SP                                 1
       2 S-S-A-S-S-A-A-C-S-P-S-A   SS                                 2(This corresponds to what you posted, except that there is only one output row for 'SS' when x_id=1.)
    One way to get those results in Oracle 11 is:
    WITH   got_s_cnt    AS
         SELECT     x_id, txt

    ,       pattern

    ;At the heart of this query is the call to REGEXP_SUBSTR:

    Sylvia,
    I cannot comment on PrE 3, as I did not start until PrE 4. With the latter, when one went to use one of the modules, they were automatically "registered." Based on comments in the Help file, I asked pretty much this same question, back then. All was done automatically, in PrE 4.
    Maybe those, familiar with PrE 3, can be of help to you.
    Good luck,

    Hi Swetha,
    You will have to manually make the table adjustments in all the systems using SE14 trans since the changes done using SE14 cannot be collected in any TR.
    How to adjust tables :
    Enter the table name in SE14. For ex for any Z master data(Say ZABCD), master data table name would be /BIC/PZABCD, text table would be /BIC/TZABCD. Similarly any DSO(say ZXYZ) table name would be /BIC/AZXYZ00 etc.
    Just enter the table name in SE14 trans --> Edit --> Select the radio button "Save Data" --> Click on Activate & adjust database table.
    NOTE : Be very careful in using SE14 trans since there is possibility that the backend table could be deleted.
    How to collect the changes in TR:
    You can collect only the changes made to the IO --> When you activate, it will ask you for the TR --> Enter the correct package name & create a new TR. If it doesn't prompt you for TR, just goto Extras --> Write transport request from the IO properties Menu screen. Once these IO changes are moved successfully, then the above proceduce can be followed using SE14 trans.
    Hope it helps!

  • Need help for finding oracle payables tables

    Hi,
    I need help for finding tables relating fields INVOICE_ID, NOTIFICATION_ID and APPROVAL_STATUS or WFAPPROVAL_STATUS. I have searched a lot but has been unable to find any table containing all the above mentioned fields. I found the table WF_NOTIFICATIONS for INVOICE_ID, however have been unable to find the latest tables with INVOICE_ID and APPROVAL_STATUS as fields.
    All the tables having this combination are either very old tables which are not used anymore or doesnt give the required data. Please let me know where am i going wrong. Once i get the required tables, i need to join the tables to get the required data with the imp fields. Also, the values of WFAPPROVAL_STATUS are not very clear to me. I need values for it as APPROVED, REJECTED AND INITIATED.

    You cannot change the email font. You can make it bold, italics and underline the type, but Helvetica is your only choice in the mail app.
    In the notes app you have 3 choice Noteworthy, Helvetica and Marker Felt. The font can be changed in Settings>Notes>Font.
    You can only use fonts that are built into the app that you are using at the time. You cannot pick and choose fonts from a list of all of the fonts that may be on the iPad but only from the list of fonts that the app allows.

It does not write well. I want a stylus pen with pointy end so I can acturally take my notes on OneNote. I writes equations down so it is very hard to write small and neat with my hand. I do know that my laptop is touch sensitive so it only works with rubber or fabric tips! I could not find any stylus pen with those tip that are pointy.... I need help on finding pointy tipped stylus pen that will let me write well. I am ordering ati-glare screen protector because I can see myself on the screen like a mirror... lol Hopefully this will not keep me from finding a pen that works well! Please give me link to the pen, if you can! Thank you for reading!

    ColonelONeill is correct.
    The Yoga 2 Pro does not have a digitizer, so a capacitative stylus, which mimics a fingertip, is what you'd need.

    Edited by: SAP PQ on Sep 26, 2011 5:24 PM

    MD09 is pegging. In SAP pegging is dynamic, meaning that there's no fixed link between purchase order and process order in your case.
    This is why you did not get the same result when you tried again later.
    Such a link can exist only if you do direct procurement for the order.

    Hi Oliveira_Lisboa,
    The article below has some information about the options and features available, it also has some tips that might help you locate your iPhone.
    What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5668
    If you lose your iOS device or think it might be stolen, these steps may help you locate it and protect your personal data.
    If you enabled Find My iPhone on your missing device
    These steps require that Find My iPhone was enabled on your device before it was lost or stolen.
    Attempt to locate your device using Find My iPhone at icloud.com/find, or using the free Find My iPhone app.
    Put the device in Lost Mode to set a 4-digit passcode and display a custom message with your phone number on your device. While the device is in Lost Mode, you can also keep track of changes to your device's location. Lost Mode requires that your missing device be using iOS 6 or later. If your device is using iOS 5, you can still lock your device remotely and display a message on the screen.
    If you want to delete all of your personal information from your missing device, you can erase it remotely. Please note that when you erase a device, you will no longer be able to locate it.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
    Note: If your missing device is offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or erase it. Your commands will take effect when the device comes back online.If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
    Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
