My other computer's Firefox hangs with a Print pop-up.

On Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5, I've been getting 5 or more unattached pop-up windows during reboot. They may or may not be from Firefox.
Today, on my other computer, I found a solid clue that they are from Firefox when a Print pop-up covered the unattached pop-ups. Clicks the PDF drop-down takes me to the Save File pop-up, where no icon clicking does anything but the Cancel. (I has used this a couple days ago).
One of the 5 or more unattached pop-up windows will accept a password entry, but neither icon functions. These windows require the master password for the Software Security Device, whatever that is.

When I hover over the window, it does come up front, but as soon as I press the red "X" it goes immediately back to the main window and acts as if I was trying to close that one. Once in a while it will work, but shortly thereafter, it will just go back into this manner. Quite odd. This is the first time I've truly had any problems with Firefox.
In addition to that problem I have noticed a few things, but one that may be linked is sometimes I'll click a link. Although I haven't specified to open it in a new window, it will do so anyhow. This gets annoying quickly. Usually shutting down Firefox and reopening will fix this (and once in a while just leaving it be for a long time). Somehow, I think this issue is somehow linked to the one above.

My Ipad 2 cant find my HP3050A j661b airprint printer although the printer is connected to the same wireless network and software updates are current on all and my other laptops also work properly with this printer.further more it used to work with my IPAD2 before when I used the old wireless router but now I changed it to HAUWEI HG231f but I set everything in the same way it was. Thanks in advance.

When you change to the new router, did you re-run the CD to re-set the new SSID and password to the printer.
Otherwise your iPad will not be able "talk" to your printer.

MOzilla Firefox hangs with every command or website I visit

My firefox hangs up with every website i visit. It takes forever to load pages and stalls all the time. I have cleaned all cache and I have even uninstalled and installed the latest version. I cannot seem to get it to operate like it used to on my PC. I am runnning windows 7 and I double checked my machine for virus and malware.

Firefox hanging with script error

firefox 20 has been hanging constantly with a different script error depending on the site visited. "Script: https://s.ytimg.com/yts/jsbin/www-watch-extra-vflEcdvg9.js:329" was encountered on youtube. I have tried safe mode with ad-ons disabled, reset firefox, rolled back versions of flash and java. nothing has worked. I am currently using google Chrome

plug-ins have been updated, no luck, still hangs

Firefox hangs with flash

Firefox is hanging, not loading pages or menu commands. Disabling flash solves the problem. I have fresh install of XP with firefox 4 and updated plugins. I have uninstalled flash and reinstalled as suggested in the help with no improvement. I have tried reinstalling Firefox with no results. Just wondering what I should try next

Firefox hangs with a "Script not responding" error message; in the meantime there are more and more flashplayer instances running

Recently I receive errors from Firefox at sites that were working fine before, always the same: a script is not responding, and I can wait, debug or stop. Waiting doesn't help (therefore pointless to change the 'dom.max_script_run_time' setting in the config); and also pointless to debug because the problem is not with the script. "Stop" eventually gets firefox to work, until the next error message which comes very soon.
I tried to reinstall both Firefox and Flashplayer, even manually wiped the traces from the user profile and program files. They are the latest 35.0.1 and 16.0.0.305 available now.
=> In the meantime, there are reproducing instances of flash players are spawned and running. They stay running even after firefox is closed or terminated.
=> if I disable the flash player plugin everything's fine except of course flash is not working. If I re-enable it, the problem starts over.
OS is Windows 8.1

Retard, (I know that sounds hilarious, but I don't know your name - no offense please! )
Like you said, if this happens only primarily on one of the many sites, it generally comes down to the type of code on that site.
And after looking at the URL you posted, seems like that page uses a lot of external references - JS and CSS.
Especially the last few lines:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_OnlineShopping.js?vs=b1763.r38875 7"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_Cookies.js?vs=b1763.r388757"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://njcdn.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystScripts/Java_Box.js?vs=b1763.r388757"></script>
Also, a couple CSS, JS references in the <head> section.
'Display External Files' only disables showing external files - but still loads them.
Can you try removing the external references and try working with the webpage in DW for a few minutes to see if the same problem persists? If it does, we know what was causing your issue.
Also, run your site through W3 validator to check and resolve errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthfirst.com%2Facls-kit.html&charset =%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Let us know how it goes.
Good luck.

Firefox hangs with script running

Firefox takes about 3 minutes to close down even with all extensions disabled. It comes up with a script error:
Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:85
I've never used Chrome so I don't know what this is referring to. Any suggestions on trying to remove this?

I have had this problem reoccurring for several "updates" to Firefox. I am currently on 3.6.13 It was so bad I was ready to switch to Chrome. I would get a "script error" - the program seemed to be in a loop (judging by the CPU usage on the task monitor) and I usually had to just kill the process.
I am on XP Home Edition SP3.
Others have pointed to a problem in the extensions -
I looked at my extensions and apparently the browser had updated Java Console 6-7 times - and the previous versions hadn't been deleted. I deleted all but the latest (6.0.21) and the problems seems to have been resolved.

Firefox hangs with 100% CPU at (obviously) random times

Several times a day, my Firefox suddenly responds pretty slow and within seconds it no longer responds at all. The CPU usage of firefox.exe goes to 100% and the whole browser seems to be frozen. In some cases, the memory consumption in the TaskManager also increases slowly (about 8KB/s), but not always. However, after 30-60s the problem suddenly vanishes and everything is fine again.
An interesting detail: Firefox uses a lot of memory; I am not sure whether this is normal. Currently, I only have this tab opened, but it still uses 166MB! The peak memory usage even says 351MB, although I did not have more than 8 or 10 tabs open at the same time (no YouTube or similar memory intensive sites).
The problem might be caused by an update to an extension; at least I remember that there was an update shortly before the problem first appeared. However, I do not remember which extension it was. I have disabled almost every extension (only TabMixPlus, Download Statusbar, and TinyMenu are still active), and the problem is still there. It is hard to find the reason because the problem only happens three of four times a day and at random times, so it is hard to reproduce.
Some questions:
1) Anyone has got an idea what might cause these problems?
2) Is there a way to see which extensions have been updated recently?
3) Is there a way to see which extension uses how much of the CPU?
Thanks in advance!
gehho.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== about two weeks ago (maybe after an add-on update, not sure which)

Just some additional info:
I just had the problem again, and it even occurred when I did not have any tab open! I did not even use Firefox, but just wanted to start to use it, but it did not respond. There was _nothing_ open, and when I checked the TaskManager, the memory consumption was up to 300 MB, and the CPU was again at 100%. After the CPU was down to 0% again, the memory slowly decreased as well. First, to ~260, then to ~200, now to ~170 MB. Maybe it will decrease even further...

Computer is being slow, with plenty of pop-ups; is it a Virus?

Hey community,
My computer is being slow, and has a lot of pop-ups. Sometimes a pop-up comes out and asks me to call a number saying my computer is infected and doesn't let me click anything on firefox screen affecting my homework, since I have to click the firefox button on the upper right and then click "quit firefox" so I can exit the internet. Its the only way I can exit it since that pop-up doesn't let me click anything else. Is there any solution to this? I want my computer to be fast again and with no pop-ups. Are there any products I can buy to clean my computer completely? So I can have a brand new working computer. I don't care if I have to delete all my information on this computer. I simply want a fast good working computer again.
Thanks for your time,

Okular hangs with remote printer

I have configured a remote printer that I use while at work - it works fine (CUPS, ipp protocol, okular on fully updated KDE). However, when I come home, my remote printer is behind a firewall and is unreachable. If I use okular to read pdf's while at home, it frequently, (but not always?) hangs, as if trying to reach the printer, even though I'm not asking it to print. If I disable my home wifi connection, problem solved, okular starts instantly, and opens the requested pdf. If I disable the wifi connection, then open the file with okular, and then reconnect, okular will then freeze.
Is there any way I can configure the printer with CUPS or my home network with Networkmanager to somehow stop this? It's super annoying never knowing if okular will be fine or frozen.
Thanks for any help.
EDIT: Okay, I think I just discovered a super simple work around. I just installed the virtual pdf printer, and set it as the default printer. Now okular seems satisfied; it somehow doesn't need to look for the remote printer every time it starts. It means at work I now need to select the physical printer every time, but hey at least I can read pdf's at home without having to furiously click on the close until kde asks if I want to kill okular.

That's nasty.
You could create a script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ that blocks the outgoing packet with an ICMP messages. You could use REJECT for this in the OUTPUT chain of the filter table.

My computer is not compatible with my printer??

Hello Hart,
Thank you for clarifying your printers model for me!
I would suggest checking and trying all of these steps first: Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues
If you notice the test prints including black, then this might be a software issue, and if that's the case, try these steps on your Mac:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Install the printer : OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
If the troubleshooting does not help at all, I would lastly suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you, such as a replacement or trade in.
If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada region,: click here.

Computer Can't Communicate With Printer

Hi,
After installing Win 8.1 on two different computers, both have the same printing problem.
The first problem that appears is "Bidirectional Support" must be enabled... It was enabled in Win 8 prior to the upgrade...
It took awhile to figure out how to enable it, as after every attempt to check the box, the check would disappear after closing and reopening the window.
It turns out that this won't work with the printer connected. After disconnecting the printer the setting will stick, and when the printer is reconnected it stays that way...
Unfortunately this doesn't resolve the problem... Now I get the error that the computer "Can't Communicate With The Printer"
Attempts to reinstall the software\drivers have been for the most part useless... Even after removing the printer in Devices and Printers and uninstalling the software\drivers, the Driver installer insists that the drivers are still installed and will only
"Update" them, or "Install Another Copy"... neither of which resolves the problem...
On one occasion, I was able to get a complete install, but only after doing a search through the Registry and Deleting everything that came up concerning the printer... This still didn't resolve the problem.
On one machine, after doing this, the Print Spooler would hang and run the CPU at 50% indefinitely. After playing around awhile, I found that if I turned off the Print Spooler in "Services" while it was doing this, and then restart it, the file
would actually print properly...
I have checked the settings in Windows Firewall, and everything for the printer is "Allowed". I even turned the Firewall off to no effect...
This is a Lexmark X5340 USB inkjet printer that works perfectly on the same machines when running Win 7 or Win 8 with all the same connections, software, drivers, and etc....
Is there something different with Win 8.1 than Win 8 concerning printers?

Hi,
I wanted to let you know that I've stumbled upon a way to get the Lexmark software\drivers to reinstall on the Win 8 to 8.1 Upgrade...
It has to do with the Print Spooler interfering with the uninstall\reinstall process. I had read about a recommendation to turn off the Print Spooler before uninstalling the software quite some time ago, and I had tried that, but it didn't work. Here are
the tricks to get it to work if it isn't too late for you.
Note: Bidirectional Support is needed, and for some reason the upgrade process turns it off. This may also be related to the Print Spooler....
1) Turn on and hook up your printer... This needs to be done just this one time to get it to show up in Devices and Printers.... Otherwise, all I get with my machine is the Lexmark Fax, and as a result, you can't "Remove" the printer.
2) Once the printer is visible in Devices and Printers, unhook it..
3) "REMOVE" the Lexmark Printer and Lexmark Fax (if you have one) in Devices and Printers.
4) Stop the Print Spooler in "Services"
5) Uninstall the software\drivers... In the process of doing this, I got a popup Security message from Windows Firewall concerning "Allowing" Printer Communication... I selected "Allow".
6) At the prompt from the Lexmark uninstaller, Reboot.
7) After rebooting, stop the Print Spooler again.
8) Reinstall software\drivers... I used both XP SP3 and Vista Compatibility Mode on different attempts, and both worked... Hook the printer back up when prompted by the installer.
9) Unhook the printer again and reboot. Bidirectional Support must be Enabled, and the setting won't stick if the printer is hooked up.. You need to reboot to clear things up before the next step.
10) Enable Bidirectional Support and Reboot. To do this, go to Devices and Printers and select "Printer Properties" and then the "PORTS" tab... The check box is near the bottom.
11) Set any Printer Preferences you use, if any, and it's ready to go.
I just noticed that when I right click on the Lexmark Preferences, Properties, etc., it is showing two of them for some reason. I don't remember that happening the first time I tried this, but I might have missed it.
I'll need to investigate that a bit.
EDIT... It seems the second printer doesn't show up until after Enabling Bidirectional Support...
I guess that makes a little bit of sense... two printers for two directions.
Thanks for the info. I found it was necessary to change the print spooler. You will also need to set another service that is used during printing that provides screen interaction for the print spooler. Make both of them automatic.

Firefox hangs many times..

Firefox hangs many times.It's very annoying. It crashes after a pop up which says :
(Warning: Unresponsive Plugin; Shock wave flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding.)
I updated the flash player another day but still this problem continued. Some other day a similar kind of pop up came but it didn't said anything about Shock wave flash but it is a script problem.Firefox always hangs because of some script problem. When i open Windows media player, Photoshop on the other side..Firefox hangs. I never had any problem with Firefox before.

The 2 plugins which are out of date are java-deployment-toolkit and Adobe Acrobat.I never use to update them.Can that cause this problem too ?

Computer Won't Communicate with Wireless HP C6380 All-In -One

I own a HP C6380 All-In-One which I use with a desktop and laptops running Windows 7 and a netgear router.
Everything has been working fine until the other day when the unit just stopped printing jobs. Print jobs in the que just time out. There are no print errors indicated.
I re-did the network setup for the printer and it recognizes and connects to the router but the troubleshooting diagnostic says that the computer can't communicate with the printer.
What am I missing?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Deskjet Advantage 3540 (Envy 4500): Computer won't connect with printer during software installation

I just bought this printer and I am trying to install it by using the HP installation CD but I am running into difficulties to complete the process. The problem is that the computer won't connect with the printer (but my printer connects fine with my Wi-Fi network) and installation does not complete.
The HP software installation process appears to go normally (at least no error messages are shown) but when it gets to the part where it asks me how I would like to connect to the printer (Wireless or USB cable) I get an error message when I select Wireless Mode. My printer appears listed but as soon as I select it, a dialog is shown stating that "network installation could not be performed".
Below are the dialogs and what happens (text is in portuguese but you get the idea)
Dialog 1: selecting wireless connection mode
Dialog 2: printer appears in list and I select it
Dialog 3: Error message is shown, no further details
Here are some more facts:
(1) Printer connect fines with my Wi-Fi network: the connection details are correctly shown in its display (Wi-Fi SSID and IP 192.168.0.6) ;
(2) If I go to a web browser in my computer and type in the IP address, I can access the printer's webpage fine;
(3) I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling HP software;
(4) I've resetted my router;
(5) I've executed "HP Print and Scan Doctor" utility and it states my software hasn't been installed (which I don't understand) and it tries to download HP software and install one more time and I get to the error.
(6) If I go to "Start" menu, I can see the HP group is empty (installation only creates icons on my desktop). See picture below:
My OS is Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate (Service Pack 1)
EDIT: I've just discovered the inkjet Advantage 3540 and Envy 4500 appear to be the same printer, each target to a different market.
Help is much appreciated as I tried a lot of things to make this printer work wirelessly with my computer but without success.
Thank you,
Joao Pedro
