The firefox doesnt open because it has high memory usage

I use firefox normally but have started seeing issues with the firefox version 3.6.13 and when i reopen the firefox it says " Firefox is already running " when i check the memory usage it is using most of the CPU usage and memory ~ 800 K or even more . I have to kill the firefox using the Taskmanager each time and then open firefox

Safe mode did not help.
I have disabled ALL extensions and plug-ins, but the problem with "zig-zag" memory usage still remains (I've not tried to leave browser open for the night yet).
I think I'll do clean reinstall with completely new empty profile (without sync'ed information) to try this out. If this works, I'll start adding stuff (configuration, sync, features, etc) to see what causes the problem.

  • Latest flashplayer not work well, even the early version in 11x and has high CPU usage

    why is it that flashplayer 11x always has  a High CPU Usage? detected by NOrton Antivirus

    you can't rely on norton antivirus.
    but if you check your active processes and directly confirm a problem with flash player 11+, uninstall your current flash player (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html) and install an older version:  http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

  • Alerts from Norton re high memory usage by plugin-container.exe

    Running Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3. The details from Norton are as follows:
    1. Program Path C:\program files\Mozilla firefox\plugin-container.exe
    2. Program Description - Plugin Container for Firefox
    3. Memory - 1,676 MB used
    4. Disk Write Activity - 10 MB (total for this process)
    5. File Origin - Source File = updater.exe, File Created: firefox.exe,updater.exe,plugin-container.exe

    Probably the alerts are nothing to worry about, and you may wish to suppress that particular alert.
    On a couple of old spec legacy machines I recently switched. <br>Partly because of economics, and partly because , of the two, <br> Norton can perform better (in my opinion) on legacy machines.
    The first thing I did notice was that Norton does pulse updates and background tasks very frequently (configurations can be changed) by default, and flags up quite a number of alerts.
    The Norton (NIS) 'Insight' facility will be flagging up firefox plugin container.exe. It can be configured to suppress the alerts from firefox plugin container, but unless disabled will probably just flag up another busy process or application. It is not flagging it up because it is a known security problem, merely because of the amount of activity.
    I imagine the alerts are when you are playing videos, probably with FlashPlayer, and may well depend on the resolution/quality of the videos.
    If you think the results are unusual or unexpected see:
    *[[High memory usage]]
    *[[Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources]]
    PS not sure what is happening with this post are some phrases unacceptable eg alternative expressions about economics; one paragraph was behaving oddly in preview resorted to manually adding break tags to keep it within the container.

  • The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

    The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working suddenly. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

  • APP-FND-01050: This flexfield cannot be opened because it has no displayed

    Hi,
    I am new to Oracle EBS R12.I created a profile and assiged "Indian HRMS Manager"
    when i try to select Respnsibilities->work structure:Grade->Description
    I got the Error
    APP-FND-01050: This flexfield cannot be opened because it has no displayed segments. Please contact your system administrator.
    Modify your flexfield definition to display one or more segments.
    This may also be caused by incorrect use of the DISPLAY= token to the flexfield user exits in the form. In that case, please contact your support representative.
    APP-FND-00730: This flexfield has an invalid value set. It may use a special value set that uses an Edit event user exit,
    and the user exit has failed. If you are using a form on a graphical user interface (GUI) you may have an invalid value set
    of a different type, possibly a table-validated value set where the table or view does not exist or
    where there is an invalid WHERE clause.
    Contact your system administrator or support representative to check and correct the value sets this flexfield uses.
    how to solve this error................

    Go to system administrator, choose define Key Flex field window. Query for the Grade KFF structure used for your business group. Check how many segments you have defined for it. Also check if at least one of them is enabled and displayed.
    This would make it clear why you are getting the error. Correct it by creating/enabling/displaying at least one segment. That's it !!

  • Publisher - pdf - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"

    Hi,
    I have a Publisher report which works fine as a single page when generated to pdf.
    I change the data model to give me multiple pages and insert the entire report content into a repeating frame which correlates with the header data that is definitely present for all records. ceteris parabus.
    I preview this in interactive mode - everything works okay.
    I preview this in pdf and I get the error; - "This file cannot be opened because it has no pages"
    This is on well formed XML with a very modest data set.
    Anyone have a fix or a pointer for this please??
    thanks,
    Robert.

  • "Itunes cannot open because it has detected a problem"

    I upgraded to the new version of Itunes and now that I went to go open it I got a message saying "Itunes cannot open because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration" Can someone help me and if it is my computer how do I get an older Itunes.

    First thing would be to try un-installing Quicktime, and then just re-installing the stand alone version of Quicktime. If you have a non-name brand sound card you may be beat. Apple has a hard time supporting the name brand cards, and does not seem to QA test any of the low end hardware.

    The notification simply states that the file is incompatible with my current version of Photoshop, which is crazy because it was working fine until now and I need to work on this and multiple other files.

  • This file can't be opened because it has been deleted

    When I tried to save an Appleworks 6 document by clicking SAVE (drop down menu) and then inputting a file name and then clicking SAVE I get the following message.
    "This file can't be opened because it has been deleted."
    This problem started yesterday. I also had this problem this morning - but -
    I have just tried to replicate the problem and I can't
    However, has anybody had this problem before? If you did you solve it, or did it just not happen again?

    Although I've only gotten this message when I've had AppleWorks 6 open in both Classic & OS X at the same time, others get it like you with no specific cause. It usually is fixed by using Disk Utility to repair permissions and deleting the AppleWorks 6 preferences. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more on the preferences.

  • Keep getting this msg: AVG HAS DETECTED A HIGH MEMORY USAGE BY FIREFOX--TOTAL MEMORY; 292 MB. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO CLEAR THIS

    see question above and help me please... it's slowing down my computer.
    JH

    The figure may not necessarily be high depending what you are doing with firefox. Do you know how much RAM is installed on your computer ?
    The report is apparently being generated by AVG software, you will need to consult the AVG manual or its faq/site/forum if you want to turn off such notifications.
    Note if you go to ''about:memory'' in the firefox location bar it will generate a report that you may find useful. See also [[high memory usage]]

  • Norton reports high memory usage with firefox and it crashes often

    Norton antivirus 2011 has pop up warnings reporting high memory usage from Firefox. I have been getting theem often and my computer is crashing often after those pop up warnings. Thanks

  • Firefox becomes really slow then eventually unresponsive when loading a page with many hires images. Unsual high memory usage up to 2gigs just for firefox. Was never a problem with v3.6.

    When loading a page with many hires images, Firefox becomes really slow and scrolling becomes jumpy then eventually becomes completely unresponsive. Unusual high memory usage of up to 2gigs just for firefox when loading these pages. This was never a problem with v3.6.

    I encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
    So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy...
