Slow start up and not responding Firefox 3.6.13

Slow start up and not responding when I open Firefox 3.6.13. As long as 1 minute. I tried in save mode and it doesn't seem to happen. I used McAfee before and now use Norton IS with Real Time Malwarebytes. Still the same speed opening up, so the virus software is not causing the problem I think. I disable a lot of the add-on and still the same problem. Any suggestions?
Vista OS

If other softwares runs fast and smooth it's obvious that it's a Firefox-problem.
Probably because of a corrupt profile.
I have done a "checklist" you could follow here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/667207#answer-124643
Regarding slow start up, it's a common and old problem.
Not all FF-users experience it as a problem, but I used to belong to them who suffered.
If your cold start up (the first start after a Windows boot) is really slow, but a warm start (the second time you restart Firefox) is much faster - then I think I can help you.
Try my own simple solution here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/762446#answer-119951
I run on Win 7 64-bit and on Firefox 4.0 betas, but that doesn't matter as it works also on older Windows and Firefox versions.
Regarding your anti-virus software. I have tried the most of them. The best tradeoff is in my opinion Eset Smart Security (NOD32).

Slow openining up and not responding plus continuous crashing. Crashes before I have the opportunity to clear cach or history. Still crashes in safe mode.

Firefox will not stay open long enough to clear cache or history or any other diagnostic checks. Open in safe mode makes no difference. BitGuard.dll is not installed or running and I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox with no change. Thanks

We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

Do you have multiple keyboard layouts installed?
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.

Firefox hangs and not responding

I am having this problem since last week, firefox has become slow and not responding. I have reseted it to the original, changed a file to places.sqlite.old (as suggested in the homepage of support page), unchecked the hardware accelaration, disabled plugins, etc. I have tried almost everything i could find on the net. The problem is very apparent when scrolling down Facebook pages, switching tabs, lags when typing and playing videos. Please email me suggestions at [email protected] ''(email removed - c)''

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

I am having trouble with Firefox not closing properly. I close a session and when I try to open firefox again it tells me firefox is already running and not responding.

When I close Firefox and try to open the browser next time it tells me Firefox is already running and not responding.

When I try to open Firefox, I get a message that says it is already opent and not responding and I need to restart my computer.

This has happened repeatedly and I don't understand.

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.

The download selected responses as PDF is hanging and not responding

The download selected responses as PDF is hanging and not responding on certain machines. Any suggestions? I've tried from 4 different machines and only 1 works. I can't find the common dinominator though as to why the other 3 wont. It just hangs and never builds the form for download. I need to be able to download it from any of my desks though, so need to find a solution and not sure even where to start looking.

We do support IE 7/8/9 and 10, this should be working in all...
Are the computers all on the same network?
On the machines where you cannot save the response as PDF can you "save/export" anything else? Can you try, from the File menu "Export Responses" and see if you can export an Excel file of the responses? Can you try an alternative web browser (Firefox or Chrome) on the machine/s that are not working?
When it does not work you are seeing a progress bar that never completes? When you cancel that and try again you have the same result?
Thanks,
Josh

Itunes 10 update on windows 7 makes it freeze and not respond

Ever since I updated my itunes to the newest version my itunes will freeze and not respond everytime I open it.
I use windows 7 and have not add-ons
any help

Many thanks.
That's consistent with an application (other than QuickTime itself) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

The Clear recent History Tool, locks up and (not responding) appears. A second attempt then works fine ??

Robohelp HTML Not Compiling and not responding

I have several HTML help files that I have made and are in
the midst of editing. Once I have edited them, Robohelp will not
compile again. It states that the file has been genertated but when
I select "View Result" it can't find it.
I have found some files joining together and some corrupted.
Also Robo help is taking a very long time to open and save. I just
finished a brand new help file and when I pressed "Save" 15 minutes
ago, it is still reading the file.
The more help files I do, the slower it gets and quits
responding.
What Can I do to fix this?

I am having a similar problem. However, my circumstances are
somewhat different.
1) I am able to save and compile the project. However, each
time that I save a topic, I can wait up to a minute or more for the
process to complete.
2) My project size is currently 113 MB (It will certainly be
double or triple this size before I'm done.)
2) I do have .CPD files...two of them, in fact. One dates
from the point I initiated the project (or soon thereafter). The
other is dated as of today with a time as of a recent save.
3) When I see the Not Responding display at the top of the
screen, I find that right clicking up to three times while waiting
15-60 seconds between clicks seems to push the process along.
4) My project path is C:\Program Files\RoboHelp
Office\RoboHTML\Javalina Online Help (CS)
5) IT tells me that I have one of the more recently purchased
PCs in the office. My employer is a software design firm, so I
imagine that the problem wouldn't be hardware related.
I, too, would appreciate any tips you might have to offer.

Planned order creation with PDS valid on only order start date and not finish date

Hi All,
We have requirement to allow creation of planned order manually if production version is valid on order start date and not finish date. This is because lead time of order is longer. I refered OSS notes 385602. I could find out solution for this is implementation of OSS note 694140 to change validity mode at activity level to consider start date of first produce activity in validity interval. Problem is even If I create order in APO by implementiong this note planned order is not transfered to ECC and it gets stuck with error production version not valid.
Is there any way in ECC to control this? Any config or customization?
Regards,
Santosh

Nilesh,
I think there is a simple procedural skip happening in your business process. You are right when a planned order is created after MRP it would default assign it to the first available production version. 2options available for us,
1. First use transaction MF50 and do the line loading and assign the quantites to the production versions/Production lines, so that the actual capacity planning is getting completed. This way you can have planned orders with both the production versions and matching to your actual line capacity.
2. Use Quota arrangement concept, to automatically split the Planned orders during MRP for a percentage based on individual production versions.
Now when backflush is performed S225 table is updated and Planned order qty also gets reduced.
Hope this helps....
Regards,
Prasobh
