Only a "zombie" process appears when Firefox is launched for the first time.

When I launch Firefox, only Firefox process appears in the Task Manager. Firefox window does not appear at all. When I launch Firefox for the second time, Firefox window appears normally and there are two Firefox processes in the Task Manager.
While writing this story, I have two Firefox processes in the Task Manager:
firefox.exe *32 Jussi 01 102 540K Firefox <= the second process
firefox.exe *32 Jussi 01 1432K Firefox <= the first process
Why doesn't Firefox start at the first attempt?
The procedure repeats every time I try to launch Firefox.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • What change to the firewall Java is trying to make when it is launched for the first time?

    We are upgrading our jpi from 7u60 to 7u67.  We are running EBS 12.1.  We are having issues trying to deploy this to the organization with zero prompts and messages.  We are getting a firewall prompt from the plugin the first time we launch EBS.  What change to the firewall is java trying to make when we launch the plugin from EBS the first time?  I have attached screen shots of the messages we are seeing.  The first screen shot is on Windows 7x86 and the second is on Windows 7x64.  The x86 is prompting for jp2launcher.exe
    while the x64 is prompting to allow java.exe.  This is the same software package for both instances and we are using the IE 32-bit browser.

    You haven't downgraded the iOS or lost any features, what you've done is restored your phone from an old iOS backup.

  • Event gets lost when iView is uncompressed for the first time

    Hi All,
    we are developing an application that manages attachments (meaning: files stored in KM) and per request by the client consists of several iViews. One of them contains a search interface, another one lists the hits that have been found. So the iViews have to communicate.
    We achieved the funcionality by using portal eventing and the HTTP session. The search iView compiles the search string and writes it to the session.
    request.getComponentSession().getHttpSession().setAttribute(searchString, .....);
    We then use javascript to fire an event on which the searchResult iView reacts and fetches the searchString from the session. The actual search is then performed within the searchResult-iView.
    The only problem is that the client requested that the searchResult iView should initially be collapsed. So we set its "initial display" property to "collapsed" and implemented some javascript functionality in the search iView that expands the searchResult iView when a search is performed:
    function openIview( iviewID ) {               
      var temp = parent.pageSupport._getIvuPageId(iviewID);
      var ivuBankObj = parent.pageSupport._getIViewBank(temp);
      if (ivuBankObj.getToogle() == 0) {
        var trayid = ivuBankObj.getTrayId();
        var event = document.createEventObject();
        event.type = "click";
        if(parent.htmlb_TrcToggle(trayid,'0',event)) parent.pageSupport.ivuToogle(iviewID);
    We then fire an event:
    EPCM.raiseEvent('...', 'SearchEvent', param, '');
    All works fine, except for the very first time the searchRersult iView is expanded after the application (meaning the page containing the iViews) has been opened. The searchResult iView is properly expanded, but the event seems to get lost so that no search is being performed (no error, but no reaction by the iView).
    We observed that it seems as if the contents of the iView are only fetched by the browser when it's expanded for the first time. (The progress bar of the browser shows loading activity when expanding the iView for the first time). Supposedly the event gets lost because the serachResult iView doesn't fetch it since it's just being loaded.
    After this initial erroneous behavior, the iView can be in compressed or expanded state before a search is being performed and everything works fine.
    Interestingly enough the problem can be resolved by setting a timeout of several seconds after expanding the iView and before firing the search event. But we find this to be a very questionable (and inconvenient) method of solving this problem and would rather like to solve it properly.
    Does anyone have any ideas how we could achieve this? Is there a way to determine whether an iView has been loaded by the browser (because obviously displaying and loading an iView seem to be two different things)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jens

    We introduced a boolean "isInitial" flag to the bean which we use to determine whether the iView is expanded for the first time or not. If so, there is a timeout of 2 seconds before the event is fired.
    Not really satisfactory, but working.

  • Is there any way to disable "Checking Your Add-ons" window that comes when user starts Firefox after update for the first time?

    we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes.
    It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.

    Unfortunately this link does not help.
    We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally.
    My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking?
    I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far.

  • Error message on iphone 3GS when initiating back-up for the first time "icloud backup failed - how to fix

    When initiating back-up of my 3GS to icloud for the first time, I repeatedly receive an error message reading:
    "iCloud backup failed
    There was a problem enabling iCloud backup"
    I cannot find a solution to this problem amd no amount of checking and rechecking account settings etc. has made any difference. Does anyone have experience of how to overcome this issue. The iCloud back-up initiated on my iPad without any problem so I do not think the problem is account related.
    Thanks.

    Same problem here...
    I just upgraded my 3GS to iOS5 and signed into iCloud using my Apple ID...
    Every time I click "Back Up Now" in the iCloud preferences on the iPhone, I get "There was a problem completing the backup.  Please try again later."
    On my wife's iPhone 4, I just performed a back up and there were no errors.  I tried this also on my wife's iPad 2 and it worked perfectly.
    I have tried the following:
    1. In iTunes, when my phone is connected, I selected "Back up to iCloud" on the summary tab
    2. Reset my phone using the steps in the above post
    3. Deleted the iCloud account on my iPhone and logged in again
    4. Tried to backup from 3 different wireless networks
    None of the steps above fixed the issue which has been going on all day for me...
    Any other help would be great - thanks!

  • Misspelled email address when login to iPhone for the first time

    Hello everyone,
    I have quite a big issue with my iPhone (I have iPhone 5c).
    When I was creating my apple id for iPhone for the first time (after I purchased it)  I added an unexisting email address by accident (I never had or used that email as a domain I misspelled does not even exist...).
    Now I cannot access my phone at all (I needed to change a SIM card) and when I turned my phone back on, it showed that my phone was assigned for a particular apple id that is impossible to use - as an email (which is also an apple id in that case) and its domain,do not exist ...(it was even impossible to verify password after I accessed iPhone for the first time).
    I did not realized I cannot switch it to the other id to unlock my phone...as to change main apple id I would have to do it through the old one and this is - as I stated above - not possible at all ...
    using iCloud is also impossible for an above reason (cannot log in as I couldn't verify my password for main apple id).
    I have an additional apple id I use for an AppStore (that's how I managed to log in here)
    Does anyone have any idea/advise what are my options now?
    I am unable to use my phone at all because of that
    Thanks in advance!

    If you turned on Find My iPhone turn it off, then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents & Settings.

  • When I open FF4 for the first time after starting the computer it is very slow to load. From then on it loads normaly.

    I have an HP Pavilion DV9000.

    I had this problem too. Not just with FF 4 but also previous versions. For that and other reasons I decided to by an SSD and install windows and all the programs on there. That worked fine except for firefox. Boot time is much faster (2o secs) and programs (from the startup folder) are loaded almost immediately after the desktop comes up. However firefox still took 90 seconds to load. After some trial and error I disables in the registry prefetcher and superprefetch (I am running windows 7, no SP1). Then I restarted my computer twice. The first time firefox did not load any faster but at any subsequent startup firefox starts in a few seconds. In fact some times it is so fast it comes up before the wireless network connection is established. HTH
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/SessionManager/MemoryManagement/PrefetchParamaters/EnablePrefetcher --> 0

  • I want to know how Mozilla FireFox knew all of my bookmarks, etc from my laptop when I installed it for the first time on my desktop.

    What sort of tools are you using to track me? How did you know it was me? My iCloud account? My iTunes account?

    If your stolen laptop continues to Sync with Mozilla's servers, you might have access to information about some of the browsing activity on that laptop, such as browsing history, new bookmarks, and new saved passwords. However, I suspect that iCloud is a more powerful tracking tool than Firefox Sync.
    For your security on your new PC, you probably should create a new Firefox profile. One way to do this with minimal transitional pain is the use the Reset feature. This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings.
    More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
    Do not sync your ''new'' profile with your ''old'' Sync account.
    To access your old profile for any purposes, such as to delete any saved passwords or see whether you get any new data, you can switch back and forth using Firefox's Profile Manager. This article describes how to start Firefox in the profile manager. I do not recommend removing anything until you are 110% certain that you will never need any of that profile's data in the future. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].

  • My parents ended up with my contacts on their Iphone when updating their Iphone for the first time, help?!

    Ok, my family uses one Apple Account and we share music and stuff but when me and my sibling got Iphones like my parents, it got confusing. I was the first to sync my Iphone 4s into the computer and the Apple ID is put under my name. All of my Apps, contacts etc are on the account. But my parents decided to update their phone. Theirs is an Iphone 4s, like mine but they haven't updated it to IOS 7 since they got it so they plugged their phone into the computer syncing my information while deleting THEIR information. I think the computer thought it was MY phone and kicked out my parents information in the process. I don't know what to do, they have my contacts, pictures, apps, games, email accounts and TEXT MESSAGES. We have different phone numbers but how is that possible? I don't get it. Anyway, it would be nice to solve this problem because my sibling wants to update his own phone. If you guys have the answer, just post it up on here That would help alot!! Thank you!
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Go to Settings>General>Passcode Lock>tap Turn Passcode Lock Off, enter your "pin".
    Edit:  Are you saying you are getting a prompt for your email pin, or are you talking about the passcode lock that appears when you turn the phone on?

  • Crash when opening Mobile account for the first time

    I have some issue with my client mobile account I have set up on theMacMini server and on the MacBook Pro client. Actually I was never able to open completely the mobile account on the client (i.e. it crashes after synchronization between client & server and prior opening the account: it freezes on the "sky&stars" screen).
    First of all, I created the (empty) mobile account on the server and then on the client (also empty).
    Next, I copied my local account on the client to the mobile account on the client.
    Following step was the synchronization between both mobile accounts - and here I'm.
    Some details:
    local account: Paul-admin - home directory: Paul
    mobile account on the client: PaulM - home directory: palm
    mobile account on the server: PaulM - home directory: palm
    To make a copy of the local account to the mobile one (both on the client machine) via Terminal:
    cp -r /users/Paul/ /Users/palm/
    To correct the permissions:
    chown -R PaulM /Users/palm
    Have I missed anything or did I something wrong ?

    Some discovered complementary information:
    This "freeze" happens only when the client MBP is connected to the server via my LAN. If I disconnect the client, I can open the mobile account without any issue. Also, this mobile account is under parental control, even if I didn't specify this parameter in any server menu and when I change it on the client, it comes back after the synchronisation. Any idea ?

  • Bing "Map It" not showing up in any window accept when imputing a contact for the first time

    Bing's "Map It" function that is supposed to be present in office 2013 through emails is not... ive tried many different tests trying to input the addresses in different formats and there is no ability to get a map to the location. Maybe i am
    just missing something? Also i was wondering if there is a way to get the "map it" function to work through the calender? It would be ideal if i could pull maps up when looking at an event that i have scheduled (all my events include the address
    of each job as they are scheduled jobs for my employees).

    bing maps link only displays in Outlook 2013 (or OWA) if an address is detected in the message. This only works if you have an Exchange 2013 email account.
    Map it button is in contacts and works with all accounts.
    If you want to have a map link in the calendar, you need to use VBA. I have a sample macro at
    http://www.slipstick.com/developer/use-vba-to-map-a-contacts-address/ that maps contacts using different services. It could easily be changed to map appointments (which i think
    i will do next).

  • App throws error when loading in browser for the first time

    I have designed an app for outlook which I am testing in the web version of office. When I first click on the app it says there is a problem loading the app and I have to press reload. The app is a asp.net app but the most of the code is an angular SPA. Is there a way of stopping this error.

    Hi,
    The platform requires that Office.js is invoked within 5 seconds of us navigating to the page of where your app is. Can you make sure that you are adding the Office.js script at the very top of the page?

    I got and iphone 5 recently and when i turned it on to use it, the battery was half full so i charged it until it was about 90 percent full.  I had this question whether the  batterie's lifetime is reduced or not. 
    I'd be thankful to your answers.
