My firefox 7 frequently hangs when loading 4 tabs or more.This happens as with the old firefox 6. Trying google chrome brings me a flawless operation even for how many tabs and how much flash embedded videos it have.

Frequently hangs

I'm still looking for a more complete answer. "Upgrading to Firefox 8" doesn't tell me what the actual problem is, nor does it guarantee that the problem will be resolved (certainly not from what I've read online).
But thanks for responding. I appreciate the time.

Firefox frequently hangs when loading websites with Flash video.

Firefox frequently completely freezes when viewing Flash video and the only way to release it is to manually kill the plugin-container process.
This have been verified with several Firefox versions, upto and including 3.6.10 and upto the lastest Flash release on systems running Windows 7 64-bit. This have been tested on multiple installations, different systems and on clean installations. However only tested on 64-bit HP systems so far.
Running Firefox with "Run as Administrator" enabled or with compatibility mode set to "Windows XP SP2" seems to solve the problem, but that solution is not good considering the security and performance problems following with that.

I have done some more testing and the problem seems to have been found:
Windows 7 64-bit with Firefox and Flash works fine until HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite is installed. That combination makes Flash video playback hang frequently. Uninstallation of HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite fixes the problem.
Flash video playback works fine with Windows 7 64-bit and HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite using the browsers Internet Explorer and Chrome instead of Firefox.
At the moment I can not tell if the error is with Firefox, Flash or HP Protect Tools.
I am using the latest versions of Firefox, Flash and HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite at the time of writing, including latest Windows security patches.
HP ProtectTools Security Manager Suite installation file name used for this is sp48447.exe.

Firefox constantly hangs when I am using greasemonkey 0.9.20 with the following user scripts KOC power bot 20120516B and KOC power tools 20120428A, only in past

I am using Firefox 13.0.1 and for the past week it constantly hangs while playing Kingdoms of Camelot. I use greasemonkey 0.9.20 and am using KOC power tools v20120428A and KOC power Bot v20120516B

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

When I installed CC 2014, I ended up with the old and new applications.

When I installed CC 2014, I ended up with the old and new applications. When I uninstall the old one, it takes out the new one too. Suggestions?

Hi LeoOfMars,
This is an expected behavior. Please check : http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2014/06/installing-the-2014-release-of-creative-cloud.html
If you dont want to use the older version you can uninstall them.

With the old firefox it would remember my passwords and user-name. Now I have to log in to all these sites every time I go on line and reopen automatically

Why won't my firefox 4 automatically open to the sites I click on. With the new firefox 4 I have to reenter both username and password the first time I log on everyday.

If your Firefox is set up to clear cookies on exit it will forget your login information therefor you will have to login again. But if you make you privacy settings look like this in the picture it will work again.

Print and even print preview comes out unreadable. Do i need to change any internal print options. My printer works with the old firefox and windows internet explorer for the SAME document. I only have a problem printing while in firefox 4.0.

My printouts from web pages using the previous firefox and internet explorer products work.

There's a bug in 4.0b12, which is fixed in 4.0RC.
Open '''Help > About Firefox''' and it should check for and install the update. If it doesn't, use the '''Check for Update''' button in that "About" dialog.

How do you name the icons at thr top of thre page as I could with the old firefox ,ie the reload arrow as its own icon with name title.

with the previos version of firefox I could name the icons on the address bar line at the top of the page...it was easier to do this than find for examplr the arrow for reload...all I did was go to customise and add the titles to the icons in lower case letters.........this I cannot do with this new version of firefox [ 29.0.1 ]....I have checked the custoise section but cannot find an item to title up the icons ...this is proving very inconvenient .

Move your mouse to the top of the Firefox window, then right click.
You will see a menu of the available toolbars. Select '''''Customize'''''.
In the new window, look for the icon. When you find if, hold down
the left button on it, and move it to where you want it to be.
You can move any of the icons you want from here, but some
icons are locked in place.

Why does my Galaxy s4 wifi turn on even though I have unchecked auto connect? (This happened starting with the latest software update).

I also have wifi-matic app which should keep this from happening, but stopped doing so with the upgrade.

Check sleep mode to be sure Wi-fi is off. Shut down your wifi matic app, clear system cache and do a soft reset of your device. power phone on and reset your personal settings. go into Wi-fi and do your setup again.

Trouble with 10.6.8 Update - blue scream, does not start the OS when it turns on. Should I stay with the old 10.6.7?

The Disk Utility could not repair the disk neither the repairing installation of the OS X allowed me to start the OS, the blue frozen scream was still appearing. The HD erasing with the Disk Utility was the only choice, than installing the 10.6.7 OS.

I'm not entirely certain of what you've tried here, so some of this may be what you've already tried.
Get an external backup or two, made via the bootable DVD. Recoveries and repairs sometimes fail, and data loss can result.
if Disk Utility is not repairing the disk structures, then you can try an add-on repair tool (which wouldn't be my choice, but some folks try that), or you can create an external backup and reinstall from distribution. Attempting installation on a corrupt (or potentially failing) disk won't usually have desirable results.
After creating the external backup (or two), you can either replace the disk and reinstall, or can attempt to wipe and reinstall with the existing disk using the bootable DVD that came with your system (or a new Snow Leopard DVD from Apple) and particularly the Disk Utility tool that's available via the DVD Utilities menu, and migrate in your old data from the external backup. I'd then download and apply the 10.6.8 Combo Update from Apple; and not the delta update from 10.6.7 (if that's what your Mac DVD has).
The data migration is part of the installation, and will attempt to bring in your existing files and your old environment, passwords and the rest of the settings from the external disk image. (Assuming it's not corrupted.)
If you have reinstalled and have redownloaded and reloaded the combo update, then you likely have some sort of a hardware problem with your MacBook Pro; check with the local Apple Store for repairs, or whoever else you might be using for that. Or replacement, of course.
I'm going to assume that you're using the OS X 10.6 client software that arrived with that MacBook Pro and have not installed and are not running the server version of OS X Server 10.6 (this forum); the initial recovery sequence for this case is basically the same for either, though getting the various services back online after a disk corruption can be more involved. You will need to use the 10.6.8 Server combo update here, though.

Hi, I currently have Lightroom 5.6 for MAC and Adobe has launched Lightroom 6 - I am trying to understand if there is an upgrade path for 5.6 users and how much does it cost, if any or is a forklift upgrade i.e. new software all together. Thanks

Hi, I am a Lightroom user and currently have 5.6 version (DVD Version). The lightroom 6 version, for existing lightrrom users, is there an upgrade path or it is a new software entirely. In either cases, what costs are associated.
Thanks,
Raj

LR 6 is a new payfor upgrade, $80 in the US if you have the serial-number-licensed LR 5. If you're already using the CC version of LR+PS then it just comes along as a new app you can install.
It’ll run alongside your LR5 so you can try it out and see if it’s something you want.
The only trial is a LR-6-CC version that you can convert to a serial-number-licensed version if you buy a serial-number. I think the download in LR 5 when it notifies you of an upgrade is what you can use to try it, although I don’t have personal experience with that seeing as I have the CC version of LR+PS so the CC App provided the Install button for me.
The main issues people are having are for some system configurations performance is worse. Adobe rewrote it to use the GPU in the Develop module but some people’s video cards aren’t up to the task, and for some people even turning off the GPU, while speeding things up, doesn’t make it as fast as LR 5.
On my system it seems to work great.

I use Webroot but this is incompatible with the new Firefox. Any ideas on how I can get around this?

I love Rirefox Mozilla but need the Webroot

FCPX 10.0.7 hangs when loading multiple projects - a non-destructive work around

FCPX 10.0.7 hangs when loading multiple projects - a non-destructive work around....
Hi Guys, I upgraded from FCPX 10.0.6 to 10.0.78 and discovered to my immense frustration that many of my 100+ FCPX projects would not load.
Symptom:
FCPX 10.0.7 appears to hang ("spinning beachball") with either high CPU% on a single core or with 1-2% CPU busy (activity monitor.app) when a FINAL CUT PROJECT is selected. No logs error information in /var/logs ..hmm
notices that the "status circle" spins around endlessly.
Actvity Monitor.app shows "Final Cut Pro (Not Responding)
and also I notice in some cases that an OEM filter ("NEAT VIDEO NOISE REDUCTION") is in progress to be loaded. FCPX V10.0.7 must be FORCED QUITtted to remove it from system.
History: Upgraded FCPX from V10.0.6 to V10.0.07.
"FINAL CUT EVENTS" and "FINAL CUT PROJECTS" on a single file system on SAS 16TB disk array (768MB/sec read via AJA system test) and 60% utilised capacity… FCP EVENTS has 400 events in it .. some 5.2TB of Prores essence etc .. all works fine! (i.e. the storage system is first class and is NOT the issue)
32GB of RAM on MAC PRO 2009 Nehalem 16 x Vcore with ATI 5780 card and ATTO HBA's (i.e. plenty of resources!)
As usual with any "upgrade" to FCPX 10.0.? all the EVENT objects need to be upgraded. In my case this takes an hour or two.. so I do that when asleep.
After experiencing above, I restored the FCPX EVENTS LIbrary of that file system from LTO4 tape archive (BRU-PE ) and still had the same issues as above.
WORKAROUND:
FORCEd QUIT FCPX V10.0.7
RENAMEd "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" to "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original"
created (make) a new "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" (use finder)
For each project !!! in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original", (do one project at a time!!!)
MOVE "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original/one_fcpx_projext_nnnn_folder" to "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects"
Make sure you move ONLY one project at a time. If you have a subfolder of projects, please do each project one at a time (serially!)
Launch FCPX V10.0.7 and BE PATIENT!!! .. DONT click or fiddle with the UI.. it seems when you intervene it locks up as well…
Let FCPX V10.0.7 settle….
select the project you just added above and RELINK any objects it needs. Thumbnails and proxies will be rendered again.. just be patient
wait until ALL the rendering as stopped.
QUIT FCPX V10.0.7
(now if FCPX locks up, just force it out and start again as above).
repeat for all projects in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original" (go to step 4 ad do until all projects moved)
When all is COMPLETED MAKE SURE YOU ARCHIVE an instance (or make a backup ) of "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects"
If this procedure has worked the folder "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original" will have zero (nill, none) projects in it.
I have managed to restore ALL my "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" this xmas between drinking etc. I'm satisfied that its all ok.
Other issues:
use DISK WARRIOR or TT PRO 6 to make sure that the file system volume where your "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" are is physically ok. I noticed some entries in file system's volume table that represented objects in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" were at fault when I used these utilities… FWIW.
SUMMARY: yes this took ages to d, however luckily I had everything in at least 3 instances in an archive which has saved me many time in the old FCP& and prior days… it was just a matter of time to put it back together.
I put this outage down to may be my own impatience when I first fired up FCPX 10.0.7 after the upgrade.
I'm interested if this workaround is helpful to others and in addtiion if others have a more satisfactory remedy.

Hi Eb, yeah I could not see any "memory leak" or unusual consumption of REAL memory whose less availability would cause excessive PAGEing and SWAPping as seen in the Activty Monitor.app
I watch this carefully especially the use of REAL MEMORY by 3rd Paryy apps. BTW there are a few that cause ALLOCATED but NOT USED memory (blue in the A.M.app UI). Simply a unix PURGE command can release that memory and help clean up the PAGE and VM swap files (its alleged!).
Yes, you may be might with the element of "Luck" involved. I would add though, that having MULTIPLE project displaying in the STORYLINE window and loading always caused my FCP 10.0.7 jam up at startup with h symtoms and observations I described.
TIP: I might also add that for a super speedy launch of FCPX one may also emply setting each PROJECT's UI to show only AUDIO thus negating the need to contstruct or reneder out a PREVIEW ui in each clip in the storyline.
Your/Apples suggestion of the movememt (rename) of "Final Cut Pro Projects" to "Final Cut Pro Projects Hidden" is similar to what I proposed above to stop FCPX 10.0.7 accessing and building it up at startup. This workaround has been useful inthe past as well.
ALso one might also get the stick out and remove (delete/rm) the ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.FinalCut.savedState in one's home ~/Library so that FCPX wont do such a neat job reinstating FCPX last time you crashed it... This has been helpful also in diagnosing my issues.
Lastly I have noticed that:
impatience clicking on the FCPX UI when in the unstable state causes it to lock up with NO visible CPU% busy.... as if its waiting on something which is usually me MEMTERMing it via FORCE QUIT and
the projects where I have employed the NEAT VIDEO Noise Reduction OEM filter for FCPX seem to exasserbate the PROJECT loading issues when several PROJECTS are available at FCPX startup time.
As of yesterday I have some 400+ EVENTS Final Cut Pro Events and 130+ projects of varying compexites in a single file system on Final Cut Pro Projects all working fine and as good as gold again!
Oh and one more thing, I had to RE-RENDER many projects of them again... strange as the FCP PROJECT library was renstated from a recent LTO archive as of V10.0.6 FCPX.. strange that...I would have expected if the projects and events were 10.0.6/7 compatable as proposed by Tom, that this would not be necessary... hmm straneg that
I'll monitor this thread.
Thanks for your comments lads!

I have a iPad, 32g, and for no apparent reason, the screen goes black and whatever app I am using is closed on me. It seems to be happening more and more frequently, especially when loading apps, or trying to watch a YouTube video. I try to open safari or youtube again and it will often crash several times before it may or may not decide to load for me. It is extremely annoying and getting to the point where I can not use it

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
Power the iPad off and on.
An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem.
