  • Firefox 27 running but not running

    I'm running Windows 7 32-bit. When I installed it, I installed Firefox 27. It worked fine. Then, out of the blue, it began freezing--not momentary, but the kind of freeze which forces one to "crash" shutdown. Sometimes 5 minutes into using firefox, sometimes 30, sometimes almost instantly, and I had no idea why. I tried removing 'plug-in container', which seemed to help, although I still noticed 1 or 2 instances where there'd be momentary freeze. Still, I got along.
    Then, maybe a week ago, Firefox suddenly "vanished" as in the problem where its "running" but isn't visible. I opened task manager. Firefox.exe was on the processes tab, but not on the applications tab. Nothing I did could induce it to open. Finally, overly annoyed at what was supposed to be a stable installation, I went with 28, the current beta. I "imported" my personal data. All good so far. I opened a website I frequently visit--the font was much smaller than it was last time I was there (using F-27). Nothing I tried changed the page size, but it wasn't a huge deal. So I moved my extensions\add-ons in. My appearances\themes weren't there, all extentions were, and I think all of my other add-ons were also there (I think). But none of this did me any good cause Firefox decided the only way it was goina start was in safe mode. (I'm pulling my hair by this point)
    Extremely annoyed, I removed F-28 and re-installed F-27, but its still the same problem--not opening even though task manager says its running. I looked around here at the solutions to similar problems, but was unable to find any that helped me. Anyone have any idea whats going on?
    Thanks

    Hi Firefox-117,
    Thank you for posting your question, and apologies for the delay. I understand that you tried 28 and went back to 27 with the same profile, it now only starts in safe mode and it may have all the add ons there. When Firefox is in safe mode, to make sure, all of the add ons will still be listed in the add on page (about:addons)
    It sounds like one of the add ons is causing the issue, since it only works in safe mode. By process of elimination it is possible to turn off all of the add ons and turn them on one by one to find out with one is causing it to freeze. There are also troubleshooting steps in this article: [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
    Hope this helps!

  • Using awt in Linux with XWindows running but not running in GUI

    I need to use the awt package from a console environment in Linux. I have the XWindows server running in the background but the main system and all my terminals are running in console mode, text only. We have to do this for other support reasons.When I try to use awt from the console it gives me a cannot locate server on 0:0. Is there any way to use the X server without starting in graphical mode to use the awt package? A bean that I am needing to use refers to it but I do not need to draw a window or anything like that. It is just a program that kicks off, creates a file, and then exits. No user interface. Thanks for any help. Let me know if you need anymore details.

    Starting from 1.4 AWT has Headless mode which allows to run applications which load AWT but doesn't use it for full extent. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/awt/AWTChanges.html#headless for details.

  • DAC Task are queued but not running

    Hi Everybody,
    Currently we are running the ETL for only Financials and there are 394 tasks in total out of which 285 have been completed successfully. At times some of the tasks would just get stuck on particular action. For e.g The analyze task after dimension population would remain in the queued status and would never switch to run mode. So we had to abort the ETL and restart it. This action resulted in successful completion of the previously queued task. Now for past two days the ETL is once again stuck (queued but not running).
    For e.g The following task is showing status of running
    51     SIL_InventoryProductDimension_SCDUpdate     Running     2009-03-02 21:09:59.0                    DataWarehouse     DataWarehouse     SILOS          Update Slowly Changing Dimension     Informatica     0     0     -2     CUST R11 5 10
    But if I right click on the details
    I get this
    1     SIL_InventoryProductDimension_SCDUpdate_Full     Running     2009-03-02 17:40:41.0     2009-03-02 21:09:09.0     3 hour(s), 28 min(s), 28 sec(s)     Verifying if workflow still running on Informatica Server 'Oracle_BI_DW_Server'.
    If still running will attach to the workflow.     DataWarehouse     Informatica     0          -2     0
    And the remaining detail tasks for this are in queued status.
    What could be the reason?
    Does it need the Infomartica workflow manager open? It is open currently open but must have been accidently closed in between.
    Informatica services have always been running.
    Thank you very much

    Hi
    This Sometime happens with DAC.We faced the same issue and had an SR open with Siebel for almost 2 weeks,they Couldnt help us out.
    Restart your DAC Server and Do a Dryrun and then run your full ETL .
    The Analyze task would not hang anymore.
    I dot have any logical reason why this happens,but i am guessing it has to do with some java heap memory.So restarting the Server would free up the memory.(i am guessing but not sure).
    But it Works.
    Try it
    Let me know if this helps
    Thanks

    What might be the problem ? How can I launch Apache Web Server Listener to see why it can not start and where to see it's log file ?
    Many thanks

    hsawwan,
    I stopped all services, and killed process that were using port 8103. Then restarted all. In jserv.log we have

    but in Context.xml file we do not have os02ebsx.ourdomain.net. Where does java server pick up this host ?
    Thanks and regards.

  • I can't open firefox the running but not responding window opens and says to close the existing window. I can't do that shutting down the computer doesn't do anything to help. I've done all the suggestions here. I've uninstalled and reinstalled firefox

    Firefox will not open. I get the firefox is already running but not responding window... I have tried rebooting with no help. I have tried to end the process via cntrl+shift+esc and nothing firefox is listed to end. I have tried find the app data via the run icon in the start up window, I have no run icon on this system (Acer with windows vista(?)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The computer was hard shut down and did a improper shut down scan when it was restarted ==

    I am having a similar problem. Running Xp.
    Latest revision of firefox.
    After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
    I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
    I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

  • V6.01, Windows 7, click on icon, "firefox is already running but not responding" Task manager doesn't know about it. I can't quit it or get it to load. Brand new install. What to do?

    Brand new Lenovo computer, Windows 7 Home. New install of Firefox 6.0.1, set as default browser, don't launch when I click done. Icon appears in tray. I click the icon, and a message says "firefox is running but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing process, or reboot". It's not obviously running. I can't find a way to make it quit. Task manager doesn't list it as a current application. Uninstall using the control panel uninstall function and then reinstalling gives the same message. Rebooting doesn't fix the problem and gives the same message. Firefox had been working until I tried to update my bookmarks.

    No can do. I can delete the current profile and install Firefox, which should create a new blank profile. The message still says "Firefox is already running." I can place my old profile in the proper folder, and Firefox will still be already running. I can't actually use Firefox, because even though the message says it is running, there is nothing on the screen I can access.
    After uninstalling Firefox, deleting the two items left in the Programs folder, and deleting the profile again, it still didn't work. I then got frisky and from the Roaming folder I deleted the Mozilla folder which contains the Firefox folder which contains the now empty Profiles folder. That worked, and a new set of folders with a new blank profile were created. So apparently it was the empty folders that never got deleted that were causing the issue.
    Thanks for your suggestion. It got me thinking.

  • Firefox 29.0.1 on Windows 7 (64-bit): ALWAYS get "Firefox is already running but not responding..." error and need Task Manager to close/restart Firefox.

    I run Firefox 29.0.1 on Windows 7 (64 bit) and I get the "Firefox is already running but not responding. In order to open the program you must close the existing window." error. EVERY TIME I try to start Firefox. The posted solution works to start the program, but it is not a permanent solution. I go through the Task Manager and end the old Firefox process, then I can open a new window. While working, I can open multiple tabs and multiple windows, everything seems to (usually) work the way it should. Then after I completely exit Firefox, in order to open the program again I need to fix the SAME error again. Every time. It doesn't seem to hurt anything really, but it is quite annoying.
    I used to get this same error on some of the older Firefox versions but it was only once in a while. With the new 29.0.1 it is literally EVERY TIME I TRY TO RUN FIREFOX!!!!
    So, down to the big question: is there a permanent fix for this yet? Or will there be one included in the next version update? Or am I going to have to go back to Internet Explorer? I know I am not alone in this experience; i've seen several other users posting similar questions but none of them received satisfactory answers. So what's the story here, team Firefox?

    This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

  • On switching on, a message says 'Firefox is already running but not responding...........' then tells me to close it and restart but how can I close it when the page isn't yet displayed?

    When I switch on my computer I get the desktop then I try to click on Mozilla Firefox but get the message, 'Firefox is already running but not responding. To open a new window you must first close the existing Firefox process or resart your system.' I looked up how to close but I need to click on 'file' then 'exit'. How can I do that when I can't see the page yet? IE is working fine.

  • When I try to start Firefox, I get a message that it is already running but not responding and I can't run another Firefox at the same time. I uninstalled and reinstalled. No change. Tried various other suggestions. Help!!

    When I try to start Firefox, I get a message that it is already running, but not responding and that I should close it before trying to run another Firefox. But I cannot find a way to close Firefox program that is not running as far as I can see. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but that did not work. I've tried various other things, but no luck. I thought programs should stop when the computer is turned off, but that didn't work either.

    How are you opening the Profile Manager?

    Sounds that Firefox is still or already running.<br />

  • "Firefox is already running but not responding" - have tried all the usual solutions.

    The message I'm getting is the standard: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding." I'm using a PC with Windows 7.
    I've tried:
    - Opening task manager and manually ending the process. This didn't work because the process is not listed in applications, processes, or services.
    - Deleting the parent/lock file. This didn't work because the file is not in any of the firefox folders. I've checked APPDATA/Local/Firefox as well as APPDATA/Roaming/Firefox, and the original install folder just to be thorough. It's not a hidden file either - I have those set to display.
    - Creating a new profile and importing settings from the old one. I can't import settings because the old profile is still running.
    - Restarting before and after each of these potential solutions, including restarting in safe mode, shutting off the computer and waiting a bit before restarting, etc.
    All I really want back are my bookmarks, which I've spent quite a while creating. Unfortunately, there is no file I can find for the default profile that has the bookmarks stored. When I created a new profile, a folder appeared with its name in the APPDATA/Roaming/Firefox folder, with all of the bookmarks, etc. There is no such folder for the default profile though - which is the one I want. I've even tried switching to Chrome and importing bookmarks, but that doesn't work because the bookmarks can't be imported while Firefox is still running.

    Does a new profile work?<br />
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
    If there is no profile present then you also get that error about "Firefox is already running but not responding"
    If you uninstalled Firefox at any time in the past and removed your personal data or deleted that profile folder yourself then you no longer have a profile to start with or restore files from.
