Please make the memory usage built-up a top priority to problemsolve.

Hi, Firefox is my favorite browser on OSX) , but the memory usage is really getting annoying. It's been 2 yrs and I have to restart Firefox every couple of hours to keep the memory usage in check. If i don't do that
I think this is a serious issue with your browser. None of the other browsers (Safari, Chrome)I use have this problem, however they're not that user-friendly in my opinion.
Like I said it has been 2 yrs and the forums are filled with this topic, without any real solutions, are there actually people on this problem? It's a pretty big problem, and honestly I don't understand why there's no correspondence from Firefox, that they acknowledge the problem and they're working on it or something.
Before those 2 yrs, never a hitch. The problem must've been introduced since FF21 or 22, not sure.
I'm experiencing exactly the same as "Cyberpawz":
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/958108?page=6
I'm a avid Firefox user and just want the voices of the users experiencing this problem to be heard. And ofcourse the problem to be resolved.
Thanks for listening!

The memory issues will be real problems, just look at the viewing stats on the thread you linked to
'' 104 replies, 94 have this problem, 7788 views ''
The easy problems will have been identified and fixed. The difficult or least common ones need users able to help troubleshoot and most just want to complain not file bugs, (Please note such bugs will likely only be followed up if it is a Firefox bug or a problem with a single popular addon).
If you follow the advice from ''Cor-el'' and try with a new profile with all plugins disabled you should find the problem goes away.

  • When i run exe built in Labview 7.1 the memory usage goes on increasing

    Dear Sir/Madam
    I have built an application in LabView 7.1. When i run this application and view the memory usage in Task manager, i find that the memory usage goes on increasing.
    Please help.
    With Regards

    Hi, Ravindra,
    It looks that you have memory leak in your application.
    There are lot of possible reasons for memory leaks - opened in cycle and not closed references, continuosly growing arrays, memory allocation in own DLLs, etc.
    Normally you should have the same behaviour in development environment as well (memory of LabVIEW.exe incresed continuously).
    You should check the code, which executed repeatable (while/for loops) for allocated, but not closed resources. What you can do is following - remove (or isolate) parts of you code, executed in cycles, then check is leak present or not. So, step by step you will found the place where leak occurred.
    best regards,
    Andrey.

    I think it's also possible you don't quite understand how multitasking works on the iPhone. Most of the apps you see when you double tap the Home button are not running. They are recently used. Very, very few apps actually run in the background. Apps that do continue to work in the background are apps that play music or use GPS.

  • Apple...Could you please make the "Digi Outs" on MacMini 8 ch ADAT?

    Hey,
    Apple...Could you please make the "Digi Outs" on MacMini 8 ch ADAT compatible?
    If it were possible to "switch" in sound-preferences the SPDIF outs to 8ch ADAT out...
    Then that would make the MacMini the Awesome slave-system solution....
    SvK

    it would be great.. but only if it also includes stereo sp/dif support as well.
    I'd love to see a macbook pro or mac pro model with 8 channels of digital i/o right out of the box, especially if it were reliable and super low latency. and instead of canibalising into the sales of the apogee audio interfaces apple has touted as perfect for logic, they could also release a nice, apogee designed 8 channel converter to handle the analog i/o.
    another bonus is that because so many users don't need more than 8 channels of simultaneous i/o, you'd have potentially high-end i/o without even starting to use the FW or PCI bus... awesome for laptop users who are hitting bottlenecks trying to balance good quality low-latency i/o, fast hard drives and other devices like say liquid mix, all on the firewire bus. you could leave your FW bus free for fast drive access, because your audio i/o would already be taken care of elsewhere.

  • Another control is blocking the control. Please make the blocked control visible and retry the action

    I am trying to click on a Hyperlink in div tag , but I keep getting this error message:
    Another control is blocking the control. Please make the blocked control visible and retry the action.
    What could it be?  Nothing is blocking it  at all.

    Check your html to see whether any controls are inadvertantly floating over the top of your hyperlink.
    I would also use firebug (F12 in ie or chrome) to highlight the boundaries of each control on your page so you can track it down easily.
    If using chrome you can right click on the page and select Inspect element.
    This should help you find the cause of the issue:)

  • Ram Upgrade Does it mater who makes the memory card?

    I have a 2007 20" iMac wtih at 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    I am going to upgrade from 1 GB Ram to at least 4 GB and maybe as much as 6 or 8 depending on pricing?
    Does it matter who manufactures the memory card?
    Thanks

    The mid-2007 and Early 2008 iMacs officially can accept 4G of RAM (two 2GB modules); with newer modules made since Apple engraved the specs in stone, you can go to 6GB RAM (one 2GB +2 4GB) but no more.
    The only brand issue I've encountered is that some Intel Macs using PC2-5300 RAM were rather unhappy with Kingston "Value RAM." The regular line fo Kingston was fine.
    For the past decade, I've web-ordered all my Mac RAM (and we have 16 Macs in the family) from only two vendors. I have never had RAM go bad or received the wrong RAM from these firms. Then there is the added pleasure of their being among the lowest priced. Here are their listings for PC2-5300 for your iMac:

    Data Memory Systems:
    http://www.datamemorysystems.com/_apple_info/Apple_Aluminum_Intel_Core_2_Duo_iMa c_20_2.4GHz_Memory_1467.asp
    You don't show a geographic location in your profile (a very useful thing to include around here ) so I've listed US firms because that's who I use. If you are somewhere other than North America, let us know and someone may be able to provide resources local to you. The first firm I linked ships internationally with only a very "can't do" countries, but shipping and VAT may make it less attractive than a local source.

  • Please make the Thunderbird compatible with Mac OS X Yosemite soon.

    The Thunderbird is my favorite and only e-mail software on my Mac.
    (The Mail made by Apple is used by my wife only.)
    I am waiting for compatibility with Yosemite !
    Please make it so soon !
    PLEASE, again !

    ***SOLVED***
    In case you don't want to install JRE6 at all and simply use JRE8 without symlinking it to the JRE6 either you can do the following:
    Copy the Info.plist located at the path named below to e.g. ~/Desktop/:
         /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk.1.8.<…>/Contents/
    and then replace
         <key>JVMCapabilities</key>
         <array>
         <string>CommandLine</string>
         </array>
    with the following:
         <key>JVMCapabilities</key>
         <array>
         <string>JNI</string>
         <string>BundledApp</string>
         <string>WebStart</string>
         <string>Applets</string>
         <string>CommandLine</string>
         </array>
    Afterwards copy the file back to its original location (you need administrator rights). For this change to take effect you need to restart your computer. The dialog for Java 6 should shouldn't appear anymore and Photoshop should launch just fine using JRE8.
    On a related note it appears that this plist change sticks even after updates done through the Java Preference Panel in the System Preferences.

  • Please make the camera available on the single-click lock screen.

    It just makes sense.  People want the camera readily available.  Having it on the double-click lock screen is good.  Having it on the single-click lock screen is better. 
    It's that simple. 
    Also, double-clicking the home button is hit-or-miss at best.  At worst, it just plain *****. 
    Please put the camera on the single-click lock screen.

    Hi Dan,
    this forum is for users. If you want to make a suggestion to apple you can write an email at http://www.apple.com/feedback/. In my opinion this settings makes sense since you would have a lot if unwanted pictures while carrying your iphone in your pockets

  • My nano will not correct the memory usage HELP!

    Okay...I filled my 2gb nano with approx 495 tunes, I then deleted a playlist which took the total down to 425, but the memory did not reset and nano will not allow me to add anymore tunes even though I just took 75 off! HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

    Gina - If all you deleted was the playlist inside the nano, the original library of music will still be present. Try highlighting the nano in the source list on iTunes and selecting all the songs you want to delete from there.

  • Suggestion: Please make the Combine Files dialog modal to the Acrobat application instance.

    I often combine files into a PDF with Acrobat (XI). It is annoying that the main Acrobat window is shown while the Combine Files dialog window is open. I often review other PDF files during the process of selection for later combination. It happens far too often, that I accidentally close the Combine Files instance main Acrobat window during the process and subsequently lose the already specified file selection. I would suggest to make the Combine Files dialog modal for the Acrobat instance so that users would have to close the Combine Files dialog first, before closing the instance. I would appreciate this in a future update. Thanks a lot.

  • How to decrease the memory usage??

    hi
    iam new to java programmning.
    I have developed a project using swings.
    It is like an IDE to the user where he can create some applications
    PROBLEM:After creating some 100 applications it is becoming very slow.
    The flow is:
    1) Intially launches the JtabbedPane with some panes in it
    2) User fills all the details and then clicks on save
    3) it saves the application and then prompts the user to create one more application if the user clicks on "yes"
    iam doing a cleanup process here that is just assigning all the created objects to null and reinitialising again(acc to requirement)
    If the user clicks on "no" just do a cleanup process and removes all the pane from the jtabbedpane
    The memory always increases but doesnt decrease...
    can anyone suggest..
    thanks in advance

    There's almost never a reason to call System.gc(), and
    there's never a guarantee that it will do anything at
    all. It suggests to the VM that now might be a good
    time to run gc, but the VM is free to do whatever it
    wants with that suggestion, including ignore it.If you look at it that way then there's probably almost never a reason to use advisory file locks either. It's not a strongly enforced policy but it has it's uses all the same.
    True, there is no guarantee that it will work but it is in effect a kick aimed at the VM to tell it that maybe some garbage collection would be a good idea.
    If you are working with a program that uses large amounts of memory then calling the garbage collector at certain points can help quite a great deal. Have a look at this example:
    http://www.devdaily.com/java/edu/pj/pj010008/index.shtml
    I agree that watching your references is the way to ensure that objects are scrapped properly. Many classes dont have the convenience of cleanup methods so this can be one of the only ways. You can also check out the java.lang.ref package for further means to interact with the garbage collector.

  • Double the memory usage in SQL Developer 1.5 vs 1.2.1

    I have observed that SQL Developer 1.5 uses at least twice the amount of RAM than 1.2.1 when performing the same functions. This seems rather inefficient. I am merely opening the application and opening a single connection, where 1.2.1 uses ~60MB RAM, while 1.5 uses ~110 - 150MB ram. Is something wrong here, or is the enhancing of the GUI in 1.5 just using up mad RAM? Can this be cleaned up somehow? Thanks.

    I agree I have noticed 1.5 is very taxing on my machine.
    1.51 5440
    XP 1 GB RAM
    According to Task Manager, Mem Usage is 6.5 mb, and VM is 240 meg, this is one database connection and editing one function.
    I know memory issues were brought up in other versions but it seems it is getting worse not better. I wish Oracle would acknowledge the issue.
