Websites stay open in background even after closing them

Hey everyone,
I've been having issues with firefox lately. Pretty much, it seems like Firefox is keeping websites open in the background even after I 'x' them out. For instance, if I start a video on Youtube and leave it running after leaving the page.. it will continue playing in the background. If I go on facebook, I will receive facebook messenges even when it's not open on any tab. The various plug-ins for firefox never close and I have to manually force-quit them or they hog all of my CPU. The only solution I have so far is to close and restart firefox more routinely than I would like.
I'm also having a problem with entering websites into the address bar. Basically, new windows won't work for typing in websites. The solution I've found is to disable ANY of my add-ons (it doesn't matter which).. then I will be able to use the address bar for that window.
I am using the latest version of Firefox. The plug-ins I use are:
Ad block 2.64
Download status bar 10.6.0
Monitor master 5.2
No script 2.6.8.36
Open link in new tab 0.1.201407301
PDF viewer 1.0.277
Session manager 0.8.1.5
Super tab mode 1.85
URL fixer 4.1
Mac OSX 10.9.3
Please help! I want to continue using firefox but this is getting annoying!
Thanks!!

Certain applications re-open at login even after closing them

Hi there esteemed support-forum users! Hopefully someone might be able to help me out with this before I resort to the Genius Bar.
I'm running Lion on my new MBP (13" 2.7GHz i7 4GB, not that I think it matters) and have been impressed with the GUI improvements overall, and most of the features it offers. However, there are a couple of small niggles which are gradually escalating into annoyances.
The first of which, is that on login I'm greeted with VLC, iTunes, and Safari all auto-running. I assumed this was due to Lion's 'reopen windows' feature, since none of them are in the 'login items' list on sysprefs. However, on restarting with the check-box for reopening windows turned off, they still appear. This regardless of whether I manually quit the applications first.
Also, after these applications open there's a 30 second or so pause, before a Finder window opens up directed at a random folder inside the package contents of the Steam application. Similarly to the applications, this window appears even if I manually close it, turn off 'reopen windows', and restart.
Any help greatly appreciated. Bit disappointed that there are problems this obvious with Lion (can't really use the "it's a brand new OS" excuse anymore).
Cheers!

Hi there,
Thanks for the help. It didn't fix it: but I have since worked out what the problem was.
As well as the login issues, Finder was consistently forgetting that I had changed my desktop background to something other than the Lion-galaxy. I had thought this was a different issue: but then I noticed that between logins it had also forgotten my Finder-side-bar rearrangement and some Firewall changes.
I guessed such changes would be stored in the user library, and I had been having some problems with permissions previously. So I un-hid the User->Library folder and ran 'ACL Repair' on it. Sure enough everything now works smoothly. I hope!

Firefox 4.0 will not open at all. It shows that the process is running in the task manager but will not open the window even after closing the prcess and restarting.

I have had firefox since an earlier 2. version and have been able to upgrade as normal. After the installation is done it will not open at all. I have restarted and even uninstalled all previous version .exe and still nothing. I am using windows 7 OS. I am still running 3.6.8 and would love to see the new one running on my laptop.

hello, this crash is caused by Websense Endpoint security software that is running on the system. please try to install all the updates for this program that are available...

Safari opens Tabs again, even after quitting them!

Hi guys,
I'm having some annoying troubles with Safari for about 2 weeks now...
When I quit Safari, it should normally reload all my last opened pages (f.ex: google, facebook,apple and twitter), but instead it ALLWAYS reopens the same 2 tabs (some minecraft site + facebook). this is pretty annoying because it does not go away. I've allready tried everything... closing tabs with cmd-W before quitting safari, checking and unchecking the "reopen windows" setting (wich btw rechecks itself after I quit an reopen "system preferences").
anyone out there having the same problem?
please help me
thank you

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now. If you skip this step, no one but you will be responsible for the consequences.
Quit Safari if it’s running.
Select /Applications/Safari in the Finder and open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in that window labeled “Open in 32-bit mode.” If that box is checked, uncheck it. Close the window.
Hold down the option key and select Go > Library from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the folder that opens (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Try Safari again. If it still doesn’t work right, quit again and move the following file to the Desktop:
Safari/Bookmarks.plist
Then delete the following items (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Cookies/Cookies.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. Select File > Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the old bookmarks file.

Open Sale Order Value (FD33) not getting diminished even after closing SO?

Hi,
Upon Executing FD33 and clicking the status view for a Customer say XYZ , and then choosing EXTRAS-Open Sale Order . Say the value of open sale orders being shown is 75000. Even after closing the open sale orders (By Selecting VA05 and Putting reason for Rejection), and then also the Open Sales Order value is not getting diminished.
What could be the reason ?
Pls help.
Regrds,
Binayak

Hi Binayak,
As mentioned by you, running of Credit re-org program 'RVKRED77' is the only solution for this problem and it is known problem in SAP.
Some precautions
1. Always run the program in background by scheduling a job.
2. The idle time is around midnight when no user is working on SAP.
3. Some time the job fails as some other program may be updating same tables as this program. In such cases re-schedule the job at different time.
4. You may run the program 'RVKRED88' which will simulate without actual updation of credit values.
Hope this clarifies..
Regards,
Madhu.

Firefox apears in firewall even after closing all processes and continues to download file

firefox continues to download files even after closing all the processes, this behavior was noticed by looking at the my firewall activity log. I am using get them all download manger (firefox extension) to download files in firefox. When first time firefox is started after starting computer it doesnt have any problem, but once I open the download manager and start downloading files it never stops.
I am using : down them all version 2.05 beta on FF 3.6.12
1. start computer
2. open firefox
3. check firewall status (bitdefender firewall running at report level) - no activity noticed
3. add url to download file in download them all manager
4. start download - bitdefinder shows firefox accessing internet
5. pause download
6. check firewall status - bitdefinder doesn't show firefox accessing internet in process listing but it does show network activity is going on at its peak.
7. close all firefox windows and remove firefox.exe from task manager
8. check bit defiender firewall status it continues to run at peak eating up all the network bandwidth
9. remove rule of firefox from firewall so as it may prompt when firefox try to connect to internet (bit definder firewall is running in report mode for approval for each connection)
10. as soon as rule removed, bit definder pops up window sayaing firefox is trying to access remote server (same from where the download was earlier started)
11. Allow the firefox to access it and again it will start downloading in background and bitdefinder shows up internet activity at its peak.

naah, looks like its problem of firefox, i removed the plugin and tried downloading using the normal download winodw of firefox but same problem, this time it starts picking up item from the download window and continues to download

FIrefox 4 beta does not work anymore. Directly after start-up (my homepage is showing) is firefox hanging, showing an hour glass. No button, URL or whatever can be used, except for the close button. But even after closing firefox, it keeps on running.

Even after closing down the application, the firefox task remains running in the background and must be killed with Windows Task Control.
Even deinstalling and installing the latest beta version does not solve it. Unfortunately I have to use Google Chrome Now.

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

Window Memory usage even after closing windows

I've included links to a test app that does nothing but
launch a window, play a sound, close window / repeat.
When application launches it uses about 20mb of memory. When
you click on the only button, it will launch a secondary window
that will simply play a wav file. (I set the volume low but you may
want to mute it :D)
After launching and closing the window several times the
memory usage goes up considerably and *never* falls back a
significant %. (I got it to about 100MB before I decided to quit
trying to increase the memory usage. Right now it's been running
w/o any user interaction since opening about 10 windows and it's
fairly stable at around 61MB (although that appears to be
increasing w/o user interaction).
Does anyone know of any methods I can use to ensure that the
memory consumed by secondary windows does not just persist forever
even after closing the window? Is there something I'm doing wrong
here?
Example Code:
http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.air
(AIR)
http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.zip
(source ZIP)
Note: When I *minimize* the window it looks like garbage
collection is forced and app drops back to 11MB (on restore back to
19mb).
Edit: note in your task manager, application appears as
JBTest.exe

You can call System.gc() to force the garbage collector to
run.
Try removing the event listeners when they aren't needed
anymore. I think it is more difficult for the gc to cleanup objects
when there are host objects (like Sound) refering to JavaScript
objects and JavaScript objects refering to host objects, so you
need to be especially careful about those. It SHOULD clean them up
eventually, but it may take longer for it to figure out that those
objects are no longer in use.
You might also clear the secondaryWindow reference in the
parent document when the window closes. That reference might retard
garbage collection, too.

My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them. The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer. What is happening

My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them.
Even when I swipe to the dashboard the outlines are still there when I know they should not be.
The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer.
What is happening and what shall I do? Thanks in advance.

Hardware acceleration in Firefox 4 fluctuates my gpu clock speed and for some period of browsing will hang the gpu at the highest clock speed available even after closing Firefox 4.

After browsing heavily in Firefox 4 for some time, my gpu (ATI 5870 with the latest drivers) will stay clocked at the highest clock speed of 850Mhz and memory clock speed of 1200Mhz. Even after closing Firefox 4, the gpu will not down-clock and stay at those highest speed. I've tested the same browsing pattern on IE9 and in which this problem didn't exist so I don't think it's a driver issue. I now have to browse with hardware acceleration turned off to ensure I don't get this problem.

Ive downgraded from FF4 to 3.6 at this point. The CPU usage is out of control on OS X.

Problem: Video on slide one continues to play and can be heard in the background, even after the user has navigated to another slide.

Problem: Video on slide one continues to play in the background, even after user has navigated to another slide. This only happens on a fresh reload of the page.
Has anyone else had this problem, or found a solution?
If you refresh the page and start over, the problem doesn't happen. But on the first page load it always seems to happen.
Here is a link to the module I am working with. If you let the video play for a couple seconds on the first slide, and then click a navigation link to another slide, you will still hear the audio from the first slide playing.

To clarify - this happens in both IE and Chrome, and is the Flash version of the content.

I have always been able to open e-mail photo attachments even after transferring them to the desktop or a thumbdrive, but after moving the last two to the desktop and trying to open them I get the message that ColorSync is unable to open files of this type. I believe they are jpegs.

When I attach a PDF to Apple Mail on Mountain Lion, it is an icon. When I send it to an iCloud mail destination, the attachment arrives and is presented as an icon, whether on OS X, or in IOS 6.
I suspect that the recipient's mail user agent is responsible for the full image .vs. icon behavior, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it.
