Question #1plug in status "checking with mozilla on the status of your plug ins" blocked by continuously rotating grey circle Random "mozilla not responding

Frequently get " mozilla firefox not responding" messages while already on yahoo page. When trying to trouble shoot on support page by going to "check with mozilla on the status of your plug ins" I am blocked by a rotating grey circle. Main problem is randomly appearing message "firefox not responding" which occasionally fixes itself but not always.

hi jacinthe117, to address the issue that the plugincheck page is never finishing to load, please try to go to the firefox'' menu ≡ > addons > plugins'' & set the "java deployment toolkit" from ask to activate to '''never activate''' and then reload the plugin check page...

  • How do i disable the Check your plug ins page at start up?

    at start up my homepage displays on one tab and a new tab that suggests to update plug ins displays from mozilla and shows some plug ins and if they are up to date or not, I wish to disable this page but don't see any options or any link to show how to disable it.

    I think this will solve that problem with the Plugin Check page.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''
    ''That pref was new to the Firefox 3.6 version and is present in later versions.''

  • I am unable to access my email. I can sign in with my password, then a message comes up that says "The plug-in for this page has been disabled. Click here to manage your plug-ins." All plug-ins listed are enabled. What am I missing?

    I am unable to access my email from Charter.net. I can sign in with my password, then a message comes up which says "The plug-in for this page has been disabled. Click here to manage your plug-ins." All of my plug-ins are enabled. What am I missing?

    After a great deal of searching I ran across the suggestion to disable all plug-ins and then, one by one, enable them until finally the problem was solved. I am not sure which plug-in was causing the problem, as I am satisfied to have the problem solved. I am going to leave the rest of the plug-in disabled.

    Thunderbird is a great asset to my boss and I. We use Thunderbird all the time and love it, but for about a week it constantly goes into "not responding mode". My boss uses the same service at home with no problem at all.
    I did an "safe mode" and restart and for a few minutes I thought it was "healed". However, I did a search and the same thing started happening again. The little blue ring starts spinning and "not responding" pops up above the toolbar. Sometime the screen fades to a sort of greyish and no mouse click are responded to, even to close Thunderbird.
    Please help however you can. Our office number is 512.246.3995.
    Thank you,
    Mary

    We wonder if it is a firewall problem that developed here at the office. My boss uses her account at home and all is well, but here, experiences the same issues I described

  • I've just opened iTunes on my Mac with an error "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". I created a shirred library so that all users on my Mac can access the same library. Help?

    I have just opened ITunes on my Mac and the following error occurred "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.". When I setup my Mac I created a shared user area to contain my ITunes library so that I could share it with another user logged onto my Mac. However the error above gives me the impression that the library file is locked... I've checked and it does not seem to be locked under the "get info" fie information. Has anyone come across this before and found a solution?

    You also need to make sure you have both read and write permission for the file, or for the whole iTunes folder for that matter.  That's also done in Get Info for the file or folder concerned.
    Read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

    Is the problem that the Plugin Check site doesn't load, or that the "research" process gets stuck, or that the link from the Add-ons page doesn't work? You can visit the site directly here if it helps: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/].

    A hard drive if it has failed will sometimes allow you to boot into windows but may not work completely (Eg: In a scenario, where system partition ;where windows is installed works fine but logical partition of hard drive has gone bad).
    On certain conditions, if the hard drive is on verge of failure may/may not respond completely. I would suggest you to run a diagnostics using Seagate Seatools which works on any hard drive irrespective of manufacturer to actually confirm if your hard drive has failed.
    Also, any hard drive can fail in spite of it been 1yr old or 1day old as its all manufactured in bulk and most of it comes from China

  • I erroneously deleted some background icons, that now have left me with only thumbnail images, what appears when I want to enlarge is a grey circle containing a black exclamation symbol, how can I get back full function and undo my mistake

    I have erroneoulsy deleted icons repetious images from the computer which then affected my iphoto images, leaving me in some cases only with the thembnail image.   When I try to enlarge or perform any other function all that appears is a black field containing a grey circle with a black exclamation symbol( !)
    within it.  How to I get back full function of these affected images and undo my goof up.   I have tried restore, but my attempts have not proved successful. 
    Help !!!

    What exactly did you do to delete these?
    How did you try to "restore" and what did you try to restore?
    Probably the only solution is to restore your backup of the iPhoto library  from before you did this

  • With Ap3 do we still need Nik Plug-ins

    I bought the Nik plug-ins mainly for noise reduction, viveza and selective sharpening. It seems like with brushes these plug-ins are now unnecessary and still will result in large tiff files once 64-bit compatible.
    Am I missing anything here?

    I think they are "less necessary," but I don't think they are unnecessary. Certainly Silver FX and Color FX offer things you can't get directly within Aperture. The Nik sharpening is very good; probably better for output sharpening than what's built in to Aperture but it depends on what you are doing - if you're printing for sales and very critical you may still need it.
    I rarely used the Nik noise reduction plug-in because I didn't want to convert my files to TIFF early in the workflow.

  • Question about my msi r6770 with 3 port the (HDMI,DVI,D-Sub)?

    i bought my videocard msi r6770 with only the D-sub connector in the package in the box..
    my vcard has 3 ports the HDMI, DVI, D-Sub
    what is the diference betwen the 3?
    so can i use the other cable the DVI and HDMI?
    what is the diference if i use D-sub and Dvi, or HDMI advantage and disadvantage?
    my monitor is SA300 with port DVI and D-Sub..

    I actually just answered my own question right before I saw your reply.  But thank you for confirming what I thought.  That makes a lot of sense.  I already have my existing DVD player set up with the component video cable and you are correct about needing an audio cable.  I learned that through a process of elimination when I was setting that up and I have plenty of extra audio cables in my closet, so we're definitely on the same wavelength.  My existing DVD player doesn't have the HDMI capability but the component video cable is fine.  Now I just have a better understanding of how this works.   I believe that my existing DVD player is analog but it's very good and I will glady keep it until it goes.
    I was also just fooling with my TV settings.  On my "source" list, I had had TV selected as source but I switched it to HDMI, which is what I already connected to my HDTV --- what a difference in sound and picture quality.

  • Unable to read email with mozilla firefox. The online graphics are missing and the links are unable to be accessed when I try to click on them

    Having issues with being able to assess my email on Mozilla Firefox. When I sign in, the graphics are missing. Once I'm logged in, the inbox is not there. Some thing is wrong graphically. There are work links for inbox and contacts, but they are all flushed to the left of the screen. When I attempt to click on them, nothing happens. I have tried to remove Firefox and then reinstall it but the same thing happens. I also attempted to reset firefox to its default state and that did not work either. I check plug ins and most are up to date. However, not clear for window presentation foundation is and if it was necessary to have. The plug in state was unknown. Please advise on what to do? Thanks!

  • Hello. I went to Tools, Plug-ins and check for updates as I do once a week, every week, and yet now, after checking, Firefox says 'no plug-ins detected'. My plug-ins are still all there in Tools, Add-ons, so why am I getting this message?

    I check my plug-is for updates once a week, yet as of today, despite the fact that my plug-ins are all still there in Tools, plug-ins, after I click on the find updates button, I get the usual screen that tells me Firefox is checking for updates to my plug-ins, but then I get the message saying 'No plug-ins detected.' This has never happened before and it means I can't check for updates to my plug-ins.

    There is a fault with the plugin check service, Mozilla are looking into it.

  • Slow, not responding, and not compatible with java etc since updating to 6.0.2. Love Firefox normally but am not happy.

    Since updating to Firefox 6.0.2 i have not been happy with the way it is running. It is incredibly slow, keeps telling me its 'not responding' and looking at my add-ons, seems incompatible with the java console, with skype click to call, etc. I also seem unable to look at complex 3d graphics online, which used to work fine. Now they end up crashing the system.
    This is a big problem for me, and i have noticed (on your other forums on this website) that others are having similar problems.
    Is there any thing i can do before this problem is eventually fixed by firefox?

    i tried. like i said, only when i disable all i can watch youtube. i have not checked settings of extensions but i am not an it specialist. i probably would not know what to look for.
