Sometimes after running Firefox for an hour or so, the menu bar at the top of the screen(Mac) freezes.

This would be the bar with File, Edit, View, etc. Trying to figure out why it might be doing that and a solution.

It is certainly not normal. The first thing I would suggest is to reset the SMC. Shut it down, remove the battery and the power supply, hold down the power button for 5 seconds or more, then replace the battery and power supply. Restart and see if it works.

Ocassionally, when running Firefox 7.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8, I am unable to click the items of the left-most side of the Menu Bar (everything between and including the Apple symbol and "Help").

The keyboard shortcuts for all of the options still work, but will not let me select anything with the mouse. The Apple key seems also not to allow selection of anything on the Menu Bar.
I can browse normally when this happens; it's not freezing or crashing. And I am able to click everything on the right side of the Menu Bar; the clock, wireless icon, battery, etc. Also, other programs running at the same time don't have this problem. A restart of Firefox seems to temporarily fix the problem, but it's happened a few times, with no clear pattern as to what is causing it.
Anyone else having this problem? Solutions?

I fixed this, in a fairly brutal way. Here is the solution.
Save your bookmarks, like on the desktop. Or you could launch Safari and import your Firefox bookmarks into Safari, then later pull them back into Firefox.
COMPLETELY delete everything that has to do with Firefox. That includes not only the application, any dmg file hanging around and most importantly the ENTIRE contents of User/Library/ApplicationSupport/Firefox. Indeed just throw the whole Firefox folder in the Trash. Empty the Trash just in case. Now use Safari to download a new Firefox.dmg file and start from scratch. You will have to re-establish your Preferences. But Firefox will not hang, and most importantly, it will not hang your OS. --Gene

Firefox doesn't bring back the menu bar when toggling back from full screen view(F11)

I have recently been using the full screen view (pressing F11). This works fine until I press F11 again to resume normal view when the menu bar does not appear. This means I cannot see the minimize / maximize / X buttons on the top right. Also, if there is another window open i.e. Word sometimes parts of this show through on the Firefox window. I try to use the latest version and so am currently using version 3.6.8
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure - maybe after the latest update?

No, dont return it, its a glitch in Safari, and VERY annoying. I first would have to Force Quit Safari, but later learned to keep hovering the mouse in the upper right corner, even tho nothing, yeah nothing,,,,is visible.
Keep the mouse there, and after a bit, you will see the little arrows pointing in, hit them.
But to keep this from happening again, Im not sure.
So anybody with further info, please post it here.

Suddenly after running Firefox for years, I cannot open multiple browser windows using Windows XP.

I have always been able to open more than one browser windows, so I can have my email minimized while doing other tasks on one or more other browsing pages. All of a sudden, I can only open one browsing page. When I try to open a second, I get the red circle with a diagonal slash through it stopping me.
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
The path to the profile would usually be '''My Computer''' > '''?:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\***.default''', if there are no other profiles. If there is another profile, it would be that instead of ***.default. You may have to enable hidden files and folders.

When in Firefox 4 I marked the menu bar to be visible, I want the backgound to be solid, not see-through.

The background color for the url line and menu bar on my Firefox 4 is see-through, not solid. I can see my desktop in the background in those locations. How do I get a solid color background?
Please respond to [email protected] I had to use an old email address to register as they offered no opportunity to change to user name and my standard user name apparently did not work.

Try this change through the Windows Control Panel
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization
at the bottom Window color
Transparency turn off, and adjust color characteristics.
http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/w7_window_color_and_appeance.png
If things are okay after that then I guess your problem is fixed; otherwise, continue.
Transparency in Firefox just because you have Windows 7 is the pits, especially when you've tried to go out of your way to turn transparency off in Windows 7.
You could install a Persona, but most of those make the toolbars almost as hard to read as the transparency. But there are some light pastel colors that might work.
I add some color to the menu bar, and more grayish on the navigation bar, and almost white on the tabs bar using styles. Originally it was just the menu bar and the background for dialogs so that I could distinguish one profile from another.
You must install "Stylish" extension in order to use styles at least it make things easier than using userChrome and restarting Firefox with each little tweak.
Actually in looking at the before and after picture perhaps you don't have transparency turned off in Windows 7.
Adjust the color and transparency of the window borders. This option allows you to change the appearance of window borders to make them easier to see.
If the change in the control panel did not work...
If that doesn't fix it, this is what I was referring to:

After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

I tried to establish the Menu Bar in Firefox 4, but the process did not work. I had to reinstall Firefox 3. Why?

I installed Firefox 4 on my Vista based PC, and there was not Menu Bar nor was there a Status Bar. I followed the instructions in the help article, but I couldn't get either tool bar to appear. The main problem was I did not get the temporary Menu Bar when I pressed the Alt key and released it. Since I use the Menu Bar all the time, I ended up reinstalling Firefox 3. From what I saw of Firefox 4 it seems to be a good upgrade, but I need my tool bars. Is there some other way to get the Menu bar without using the Alt key?

The Firefox Button in the upper left has replaced the Menu Bar but you can, optionally use the Menu Bar; instructions below
The Status Bar has been replaced by the Add-on Bar in Firefox 4, by can get some of the functionality by installing an Add-on; see below.
 
 
You can turn the Menu Bar on/Firefox Button off in Firefox 4. You have the Menu Bar on.
To '''''toggle''''' the Menu Bar on/off (Firefox Button off/on), do one of the following to check/un-check (on/off) Menu Bar:
*HOLD the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard
*Using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars, click Menu Bar
*Using the Firefox Button: click Firefox Button > Options, click Menu Bar
 
 
'''The Status Bar has been eliminated and replaced by the Add-on Bar'''. You can restore some of the prior Status Bar functionality on the new Add-on Bar by
*installing the Status-4-Evar extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
*Be sure the Add-on bar is diplayed at the bottom of the Firefox 4 window
**Ctrl+/ toggles the Add-on Bar displayed or not displayed
**Firefox button > Options '''''OR''''', if you are optionally using the Menu Bar instead of the Firefox button, View > Toolbars '''''OR''''' right-click in a blank space on a toolbar::
***if no check mark next to Add-on Bar, click Add-on bar to place a check mark.
***If Add-on bar has a check mark, it is already displayed
*then drag 3 widgets to the Add-on Bar from the Customize Toolbar window (the 3 widgets are: Status Text, Progress Meter, Download Status). To open the Customize Toolbar window
**Using Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars > Customize
**Using Firefox button: click Firefox button, click small arrow to the right of Options, click Toolbar Layout
**Note: Instead of either of the above, you can do as in the past, right-click an empty space in the Navigation toolbar and choose Customize
*set options for Status-4-Evar:
**Menu Bar: Tools > Add-ons, click on Status4Ever, click Options, set options to your liking
**Firefox button: click Firefox button, click Add-ons, scroll down to Status-4-Evar, click Options, set options to your liking

The menu bar at the top of the screen is gone, as if the page was magnified 10 times Ichecked magnifier not on, no problem with IExplorer just firefox

Tried a restart and a shut down. When I go to any page it is so big there is nothing on the screen but the site page, no menu. If I move the cursor to the top right the little x-out icon pops up and I can exit Firefox. If I switch to Internet Explorer everything is fine! Help I hate IE.

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

ABAP Program gives error after running successfully for few days / months

I have a problem that sometimes my programs start giving errors or does not run at all after successfully running for few days / months.
But, when I copy the same program with a different name (without any changes ) it starts running again.
Yesterday I had another problem. I was sending a request to be transported to Production Client, and the request was not getting transported. But when I changed just the name of the program, It was transported to Production Client.
I can't understand where the problem lies and what happens to the programs after running successfully for few days. All I have to do is just copy that programm into another name and it starts running.
Can anyone help me?
Regards,
SK Daniel

about the transport thing..i had the same problem few months back the reason was, i included a table which is having different package from my program..so wot im thinking is when you creating a different program u might be assigning different package to this new program and this package is same as all the tables included in your program...
regards

Error 10846 after running VI for a day

I am trying to develop a program that acquires data continuously from 9 analog input channels, then processed the data to extract the mean, max, min for each signal and do some calculation and then store the data in a spreadsheet every minute. The VI works fine if I run it for a short time (less than 5 hours) but if I tried to run it for a long period (an all day), I get an AI error 10846. If I ignored the message error and keep running the program, the error message 10846 keeps appearing and every thing in the VI seems slowing down. If I restart the VI without restarting the computer, the VI will run but the same message error 10846 will reappear after a short time. So I have finally had to stop the program and restart the co
mputer so that the VI reruns normally. The VI is running at a scan rate = 1000 scans and a scan to read = 2000 scans, the buffer size is set up to 20000 scans. I tried to increase the buffer size up to 100000 scans and increase the scan to read up to 10000 scans but the message error keeps appearing. If I look at my scan backlog, for the first couple hours, it is equal to 0 and after that, for no reason, once in a while, the scan backlog show a value different of 0.
I do not have really a lot of experiment with Data acquisition system and I am not sure to use the correct values of those parameters. But at the same time, I do not understand why the VI is running fine for couple hours and then crashed.
Concerning the system that I am using, my computer is a 1 GHz Duron Processor running Windows 98 with 120 MB of RAM and I used:
NI software = LabView version 6.1
DAQ card = PCI-6071E
I attached my code for the ones who will have time to run it.
If anyone can offer some wisdom on
that it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS: I am also wondering if the problem could come of my computer or hardware I am using?

Right off hand, I would say that the fact you have to restart the computer to recover is very odd indeed--and troubling. Have you tried to run any of the continuous acquisition examples that ship with LV to see if they exhibit the same behaviour? Also, is the computer on a network? If so, try unplugging it and see if you still get the problem. Finally, when the thing is slowing down, what does the computer's overall CPU utilization look like?

BSOD after using firefox for a minute.

Not sure what happened exactly but here's the details.
Basically I run using my on board Gigabit lan when at home on my desktop, however my girlfriends router is not on same level as her computer so wireless is necessary. I purchased a D-Link 160 dual band usb adapter to connect at her place. I installed the drivers then plugged in the adapter as instructed. Everything was fine at her house. When I got home I went back to my Gigabit hardware again. My computer ran fine IE10 worked fine but for some reason after using Firefox for about a minute it would crash my computer BSOD. Facebook, Google, trying to research issue so basically any website caused the problem. So I thought it could have been the D-Link drivers but I rolled my system back to before the D-Link install and still had the issues. I re installed my Firefox and so far all is well. So perhaps it was an update or perhaps it was drivers interfering. The date it started happening is July 5th. So depending when last update was could have been that.
As for Specs
Windows Pro x64
Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0
Kingston Hyper X genisus 16GB
AMD FX-8320
2x 500GB Seagate Barracuda Raid 0
Asus GTX 650 Ti Boost
Thats most parts that could remotely be causing the issue. Let me know if you solve anything if its just me the D-Link or an update would just like to know what went wrong. As I said re installing Firefox worked so perhaps drivers changed settings or something but i think system roll back should have fixed that I am not a pro though so any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

My iPhone4 won't turn on even after being charged for 1 hour and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens

My iPhone4 won't turn on even after being charged for 1 hour and when I plug it into my computer nothing happens. PLEASE HELP

I have a similar (if not the exact same) problem! Here are some more details if they are helpful.
My iPhone 4 died earlier today and will not turn back on. It seemed that the battery died while it was not in use. I attempted to charge it on one charging cord in multiple wall outlets and none worked. Assuming it was a malfunction in the cord, I took my phone home to try charging it there.
Again, I attempted charging it in multiple outlets with a different cord than previously used. None of these seemed to work, though they would flash the Connect to Power screen for a brief moment before returning to a black screen. I assumed that my phone was simply so depleted of battery that it needed a long charge.
I charged it for 30+ minutes without any success, then attempted to charge it through my MacBook instead of through a wall outlet. iTunes did not even recognize that my phone plugged in (and still hasn't). I've attempted charging it for an extended period of time (1+ hour) with no luck. Sometimes when I press the Power button it will flash the Connect to Power screen once more before returning to black.
The Apple logo never appears, nor does any apparent progress on charging. I have attempted holding down the Power and Home buttons simultaneously for 10 - 30 second increments. Still no luck. There is no reason anything should be happening with this phone that I can identify.
I have no warranty and just recently replaced my previous phone which had had similar problems before completely crashing. This is a phone new to me that was previously used but in almost new conditions and factory reset by Apple prior to my purchase.
Does this mean that my phone battery is dead?
Is there anything else I can do??

IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

BINGO !!!!
Thanks so much Woodsroad. I had the exact same problem with my Dell Windows 7 64 bit with AMD Radeon 6700 Video card.
All the video tests passed with flying colors.
The sniffer rename trick fixed the problem.
Thank goodness for the internet!
