If I clear the cache (Range = Evrything), it's fine, but if I also select "Browsing & Download History," Firefox 25.0.1 freezes.

I cannot use Process Explorer OR Windows Task Manager to devote more resources to its operation (give Firefox a higher priority than other running processes) because some rocket scientist @ Mozilla has decided that users should not be allowed access to this level of control. How do I find the physical location of this data so I can edit/delete it MYSELF (since Mozilla won't allow me to do it via the interface that's SUPPOSED to do it)? This data is not located in the same profile directory that contains the cache. The data is not ANYWHERE in C:\Users\<PROFILE_NAME>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\.

If you open the task manager before the use of Firefox, you can lower the Firefox priority. I recommend leaving it set to Normal.'
Freezing of Firefox is normal when clearing items. This freezing will be most noticeable if there are many items to clear.
If none of this helps, you can download [https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner CCleaner] for free. You can then clear the Firefox data by running the cleaning tool.
Please report back soon.

  • When attempting to delete the complete "Browsing & Download History" Firefox stops responding.

    Since I had not deleted my browsing history in a few months I attempted to do so today. Firefox stopped responding. After waiting around 10-15 minutes I ended the process and attempted to delete everything from "today" and it worked. I then, one by one, deleted everything for "all times" except "Browsing & Download History", and it all worked. Now all that is left is to delete this, but every time I try to delete it, and nothing else, Firefox stops responding.

    How much history items do you have if the check that in the History Manager?
    If there are too many then try to clear them month by month or in case you do not care to lose all history delete the places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder (Firefox will rebuild the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup).
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • How do i setup my MacBook Pro to play music from Spotify or Deezer via a separate Airplay enabled speaker? I know my MacBook is Airplay enabled because i can see the icon in iTunes, which works fine, but not when general web browsing.

    I would sign out again, then update your Mac (latest version, not 10.7.3 as shown in your signature), open "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and then choose iCloud and sign in again. I would also do the same on your iOS device (sign out and in). Make sure to confirm the message when you will be asked to merge the contacts with iCloud.

  • When I click "Clear now" to clear the cache, nothing happens, no acknowlegement the the cache is cleared, and I need to know whether the function is working.

    login problem at an arts forum... login works at other sites.
    I can't log in. They gave me a new password and were able to log in with it, doesn't work for me. They suggested clearing cache.
    I removed a cookie from that site, and tried to clear the cache, but suspect I was unsuccessful. When I go to the login, after attempting to clear the cache and removing cookie, the login form is immediately filled in with a password, which could be the old one or the new one, they are unfortunately the same number of letters.
    How do I get the cache clear if the edit preferences thing is not working?

    As a quick test for cookie or cache problems you can try to switch Private Browsing mode on to see if that allows to log in.
    You can either use Tools > Start Private Browsing or set a check mark in:
    * Tools > Options > Privacy: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    To see all the History and Cookie settings, select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"<br />
    Do not forget to exit Private Browsing mode after you have finished the login test.

  • My safari,4.1.3 on the bottom says cancelled opening page. have cleared the cache,and reset but it still does it on some pages,not all. Any ideas

    It's possible that the pages you are attempting to open simply won't work with that old web browser.
    If you're using Mac OS X Tiger, update to the latest version, which is 10.4.11. (You might be using that already. Your profile says you're running 10.4.1, but I bet that's just a typo.)
    Then get the latest version of Safari that will run on Tiger. (And... you have that already: 4.1.3.)
    You might try a more modern browser designed specifically for your current OS. That would be TenFourFox.

  • How to clear the cache in the portal browser

    Hello Experts,
    Iam unable to clear the cache in the portal. I tried  clearing the Navigation cache , PRT cache,PCD cache,Database cache,UME cache.
    The senario is in the browser if iam logging with some user X , he should see only 1,2,3 countries, and if i logg off and again logg in the same browser with different user he is seeing same 1,2,3 countries unlike he should see 4,5 countries.
    But if iam opening in different browser iam getting the correct one with cache cleared.
    I want to acheive this in the same browser.
    Qucik help in solving out this cache problem is appreciable.
    Regrds,
    Manasa.

    There is one more important cache: the HTTP Provider Service cache (in VA).
    To find out why the browser is showing the same languages, analyze what the server is sending to the browser with HTTPWatch or Firebug and look at the cache flag. Also check what is the iView cache parameter? Is it user, session, shared or none?
    How do you do the logoff? The best thing is to make sure that the HTTP Session is killed. If not, the portal may send data that is cached for the HTTP Session to the browser. When you open a new browser, you will also open a new HTTP Session. That could be the cause why it is working with a new browser instance.

  • How do I clear the cache in my MacBook Pro 10.9 Maverick

    How do I clear the cache in my MacBook Pro 10.9 Maverick operating system? Can anyone provide step-by-step instructions. I'm a big dummy when it comes to this sort of thing.

    Hey DrSteveMc,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines where the cache folder is stored. Note that the Library folder is hidden by default in OS X Mavericks. To access this folder, hold down option when clicking the Go menu in Finder:
    OS X Mavericks: What is the Library folder?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14330
    Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1199
    If the issue does not appear to be related to preferences, a login item, or a kext file, and still persists in Safe Mode, there may be an issue with a cache file in your home folder:
    1. From the Finder's Go menu, choose Home.
    2. Open the Library folder.
    3. Drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
    4. Attempt to reproduce the issue.
    5. If issue is resolved, drag the Caches folder to the Trash.
    6. If issue persists, from the Finder's Go menu, choose Go To Folder.
    7. Go to this folder: /Library
    8. Drag the Caches folder to the desktop.
    9. Attempt to reproduce the issue.
    10. If issue is resolved, drag the Caches folder to the Trash.
    11. If issue persists, go to step 4.
    Thanks,

  • Query for clearing the caches automatically in the portal?

    Hi There,
    We are using EP Portal 6,currently we are having Oracle Archive logs issue which slows down the system.Now we are clearing the caches in the System Landscape-> Universal Worklist & Workflow->Universal Worklist Administration->Universal Worklist u2013Cache Admin by Manually.
    *Is there any steps to do it automatically which helps a lot?
    Thanks,
    Krishna.

    Hi,
    when you refresh the UWL it will clears the cache explicitly, Default time for UWl refresh is 5 min, You can automatically refresh the cache by changing the properties of UWL ivew (in Portal content) -
    sap_uwl_viewname  : DefaultView
    useNavigationId   : com.sap.pct.erp.mss.Main
    Check this wiki page for more info on cache interval change and more:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BPX/CompletedtasksdisappearonlyafterarefreshofUWL+cache
    all these work in EP 7 but not sure with EP 6.

  • How to clear the cache from Mac Book Pro

    What is the simplest way to clear out the cache from my Mac Book Pro?

    I will also endorse Thomas_r's comments.  If anything, I would use OnyX, which is a well known maintenance tool.
    Beware that there is also an "onyxmac" website, which is malware and to be avoided...
    The OnyX developer is Titanium software, here:

  • How to clear the caching realm?

    Hello,
    WebLogic Server 5.1 SP 6 on W2k Server
    Is it possible to emtpy the caching realm inside of an EJB?
    The class weblogic.security.acl.CachingRealm
    provides the clearCaches() method, but I don't know how
    to get the actual cache object within an EJB in the WebLogic
    server.

    This works for sure in a servlet or jsp

    Is there anyway to clear a particular user from the cache. When the user's
    password
    is changed in the database, i would like to remove this user from the
    Caching
    realm. If i call authUserPassword() with incorrect password, will it
    remove the
    User object from Cache?
    Also, in a cluster, how do i remove the User from all WLS instances.
    thanks for your help.

    Anyway, I think you can do it by (I haven't tried this):
    import weblogic.security.acl.Realm;
    import weblogic.security.acl.Security;
    import weblogic.security.acl.CachingRealm;
    Realm genericRealm = Security.getRealm();
    CachingRealm cachingRealm = (CachingRealm)genericRealm;
    cachingRealm.clearCaches();

  • Clearing the cache on version 6.5.2

    I was told I should clear my caches now and then...trouble is I can't find out how to do this. Yasu works for the system and browser ones, but how do I clear Quicktime's? I've clicked on everything there was available to click on in Quicktime Preferences and Player Preferences.

    It could be: sorry, but I don't remember and I don't have a system with 6.5 to check.
    But it really shouldn't matter; clearing your web browser's cache should accomplish the same thing.
    Are you have some problem that you've been told that clearing the cache might help? If so, let us know and we may be able to either verify that solution or provide an alternative. If this is just a precaution, then Yasu should have done the necessary clearing and you don't need to worry further.
    Regards.

    You're probably accessing too many collections.
    If you post some of your code, we might be able to give pointers on how to improve it.
