What to say when Firefox 3.6.4 freezes whenever the website uses Flash?
When someone asks me what they should do when Firefox after they have updated to 3.6.4, starts to hang between 20 seconds and several minutes, when they visit Flash sites, what would be the right answer? I have got some questions like these within the last day since 3.6.4 came out. Setting dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll=false is reported to work, but are there better workarounds?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://
It is possible that the Flash plugin takes longer than 10 seconds to finish an action and pass the control back to Firefox.
If Firefox doesn't get a response within 10 seconds then Firefox 3.6.4 assumes that the plugin has crashed and displays a message.
Increasing the timeout pref gives the plugin more time to finish what it is doing without giving a crashed alert.

How to control what VoiceOver says when clicking a radio button in Safari?
Hello-
I am developing a web page that I want to work in Safari & VoiceOver. Does anyone know how I can:
1) control what VO says when it is hovering over a radio button (ideally some alt text or title attribute)
2) control what VO says when I click a radio button in Safari (right now, it seems to say 'Group').
I have tried to put the radio buttons in a fieldset, tried tons of attributes in the input tag (including alt, title, desc, description), but nothing seems to change.
Here is a URL where you can hear what I'm talking about: http://postcalc.usps.gov/
Turn on VoiceOver (try Cmd+F5), pull up the URL and hover over the 'letter' or 'large envelope' radio buttons, then click one of them. It says 'group'. I'd like it to say 'letter option selected' or something.
Thanks for any & all help!
Seth
PS: I do know about the <label> tag. I've tried surrounding my <input> tag with a label and using <label for="someID">, but it doesn't seem to help.Thank you for the suggestion...it does work and fires the event, but it is still not selecting the current record when I try to perform an Update or Delete.
I had to modify your code a bit in order for it work in JDev 10...used the JUCtrlValueBindingRef instead of the FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding.
Here is what my af:table tag looks like:
<af:table value="#{bindings.FeesView1.collectionModel}"
var="row" rows="#{bindings.Fees001View1.rangeSize}"
first="#{bindings.FeesView1.rangeStart}"
emptyText="#{bindings.FeesView1.viewable ? \'No rows yet.\' : \'Access Denied.\'}"
selectionListener="#{backing_viewFees.tableSelectOne1_attributeChangeListener}"
binding="#{backing_viewFees.table1}" id="table1">
If I put back my 2 original attributes, then my Delete and Updates work.
selectionState="#{bindings.FeesView1.collectionModel.selectedRow}"
selectionListener="#{bindings.FeesView1.collectionModel.makeCurrent}"
Here is my code in the backing bean:
public void tableSelectOne1_attributeChangeListener(SelectionEvent selectionEvent) {
JUCtrlValueBindingRef binding = (JUCtrlValueBindingRef)this.getTable1().getSelectedRowData();
if (binding != null) {
Row currentRow = binding.getRow();
if (currentRow != null) {
System.out.println(currentRow.getAttribute("CurrentRecordInd")); // this does print my selected value!!!!

why do all these pages not tell you where migration assistant is on a mac pro. They all say what to do when it is on however this is of no use if you are unable to find it in the first place.
In the Utilities folder, which is in Applications. You could also use Spotlight to search for it.

Fel: 0x8004010F: ZebraMapiCopySession::CreateMobileMeMessageStore: CreateMessageService failed
This is what i get when i try to activate contacts in the icloud control panel and no contacs are syncronised.....
iPhone 3GS, Windows 7After much some reasearch I fixed this problem for my problem computer. I have two computers running Windows 7 64-bit, one working with iCloud contact/calendar sync and the other getting this "0x8004010F: ZebraMapiCopySession::CreateMobileMeMessageStore: CreateMessageService failed" error (when you look at the report data to Apple).
So when I compared my system to a working system, I found that there was a difference in the bit-named DLL used by iCloud.
Go to Outlook, File, Options, Add-Ins and in the Active Application Add-ins section highlight "iCloud Outlook Addin". You'll find the DLL name there.
On my working computer, it was APLZOD6432.DLL, while on my problem computer it was APLZOD32.DLL. Ah ha! Its trying to setup Outlook 64 with a 32-bit iCloud DLL. Or so I thought.
I looked for a 64-bit specific install for iCloud. Nope, iCloud 1.1 is for both. Hmmm...
I thought I had installed Office 2010 64-bit on my problem computer, but apparently I installed 32-bit. I was able to confirm this by going into Outook, File and Help. Under "About Microsoft Outlook" it said 32-bit. Checking the working computer, it was showing 64-bit Outlook.
So this also brought another thought to my mind. Maybe the problem is because I installed the iCloud control panel before I installed Office 2010. That said, I uninstalled iCloud Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs), and re-installed it from the manual download page http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455 and tried contact syncing again. It worked!
Then I went to check the DLL in use. It was APLZOD32.DLL. So perhaps iCloud sets up for 64-bit Office when no office is installed on Windows 7 64-bit and breaks when you install 32-bit. Or there is a part of iCloud install that needs to be done with Office installed. Either way, I'm happy to have the issue fixed. Leaving the 32-bit Office there for now. -
Crashes the second I purchase on Ebay. When Firefox reopens, it brings me to the purchase page again making me think the transaction did not go through. Later I find out the transaction did go through.
This is all very confusing and frustrating. You recommended that I install the latest updates for:
1. Shockwave Flash security (but do not tell me the number for the latest update)
2. Java Plug-In version 1.6.0_07
3. Flash version 10.0
However, you do not tell me how install these. I also woke up early so I could access your Chat service from 6:00 - 7:00 am Pacific time but it is not available. I have also not been able to find a contact phone number to get my problem resolved. I regularly purchase on ebay and have had this problem for all 3 purchases I made in the last week. I need to purchase several other items in the next few weeks before I leave the country for 2 months. I need to get this problem resolved immediately. If someone can call me, my phone number is 720-***-****.
Thank you.

I have recently found that Konqueror browser for Linux can help user to limit cpu usage while visiting a website using flash technology by changing settings in the Flash section and adjusting the slider from VERY HIGH settings to HIGH and MEDIUM and so on. It actually works, and it does not have a direct impact on the general performance for flash player but it may generate some conflicts if other extensions such as add-blocker or click-to-flash are enabled also.
Maybe you can add a similar setting in Firefox in the browser option section or just as an useful addon or extension.Sorry for being late with my reply. I've just tested that addon that you mentioned in your post ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../system-monitor/ ) , it looks like a system monitor and nothing more than that.
As for the memory tip ( about:memory ) I agree that it can be extremely useful for users that have less than 1 gb memory installed on their system. I know very little about computers but I can tell your tip for optimizing memory usage in firefox has merits.
Me, I have another problem with cpu overload in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and most of the browsers with flash support enabled. Each and every time time I visit a page that features all sort of adds and gadgets based on flash technology, and each time I try to watch a video online my cpu goes all the way up to 100% and stays there until i finally decide to close the browser.
I am running winxp and also linux on a Dell Optiplex GX260 machine with 2000 MHz cpu, 1024 Mib ram and 128 Mib video card, it is not the best computer in the world but still 2000 MHz should be enough for a limited and uneventful web experience.
It is not as much an issue with the web browser, any browser, the whole problem is caused by funny people claiming to be deeply involved with web development, and promoting flash technology for ages instead of choosing other alternatives, more user friendly. All I am saying is that flash ruined the entire web experience making people to believe that they actually need dual-core cpu and coreduo and deepfreeze cpu and so on which is only partially true.
I always get better results for cpu usage when watching online videos that use media player as default player and not flash player, and my cpu stays below 70% usage which is not much but still it is not 100% usage.
Konqueror offered me a nice surprise, and I was able to limit cpu usage once I moved that slider from Very High setttings for flash player to Medium settings. I got something between 80-90% cpu usage as a result, and I was very pleased to finally see a working solution to my problem at least for linux if not for windows.
The only other browser that I can use for windows only, which handles both flash player and cpu usage well is Kmeleon browser which is a long forgotten project but does offer nice features once you find some plugins that it needs to make it come to life again. -
When printing PDF Adobe reader auto selects the last used printer
Hi
I have an issue on most of my PC's that when I Print a PDF document the Windows default printer (Printer A) is selected.
If I choose to print to (Printer B) then the next time I open a PDF document (not the same document than before) it automatically selects (Printer B) even though my Windows default printer is still (Printer A)
So basically it remembers what printer was used last and automatically prints to this printer.
This is a big issue as we are printing documents to a plotter. When I then print a normal A4 page it default to the plotter as this was the last used printer. This is wasting so much paper as users just assume it always selects the default printer rather than the last used printer.
ThanksHow about changing the printer and printing something, then close Firefox and then restart your operating system? See if that helps ....
I am curious why you need two separate versions of the same printer installed. Is one used on a USB connection and the other part of a network configuration or wireless? If both are network or wireless, are they using a different IP address on the network they are on?
The only time I have seen a similar problem with Firefox not wanting to default to the "last used" printer was with a USB inkjet and a network connected laserjet (Brother) - the laserjet would go to "sleep" (energy saving mode) and Firefox would switch to the inkjet every time the laserjet was asleep. That problem was eventually solved when the USB inkjet was replaced by a "network" connected inkjet - still can't understand why that made the difference, though. -
Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents
Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents. Particularly, when I need any flash content. It freezes up so that the only option will be to force quit the firefox.
I've noticed the crashing increasing with the newer versions. The worst thing is when I'm writing a long email and then go to a page with flash and ff locks up and then crashes. I use IE now for most flash content or mission critical emailing but IE's interface is poorly laid out so I don't like it. I've tried FF with the plugin container and without it and it crashes either way (more often without the container). I use adblock and firebug. I wonder if ppl experiencing this prob are using those plugins too.

The website used by my graduate studies program doesn't yet support Firefox 5.0. In lieu of switching browsers, I would like to get an older version of Firefox (4.0) to support my studies.
Thanks.You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.19 version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

When restarting my iPad 1 freezes on the apple logo. It even does when I try and do a reset by holding power and the hold button for 10 seconds.
If the reset doesn't work, you have to force the iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost. -

What is happening when firefox reports (Not Responding)?
More often than I'd like (at least a dozen times per day) Firefox goes non-responsive and reports (Not Responding) in the banner. (In fact it happened while I was trying to access this page!)
Does mozilla have any tools/add-ons that I could install that Firefox could activate when this happens to try to diagnose the problem? i.e. when the banner is updated to display (Not Responding), could firefox also do things like:
- ICMP ping the proxy server (if there is one) to see if it is a local network problem.
- ICMP ping the destination website in question to check end-to-end network latency.
- setup an HTTP connection (wget?) to the proxy server (if there is one) to see if the proxy server is the bottleneck?
- setup an HHTP connection(wget?) to the destination website to measure the response time for a new connection?
Etc."Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"<br />
"Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"<br />
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
There is also security software (firewalls) that can cause such issues, so you may need to look there as well. -
Firefox 16 freezes for 1 minute when accessing certain webpages, I think they're all using Flash
I installed Firefox 16.0.1 yesterday. I was running 15 earlier in the day and it was fine. FF 16 however has suddenly started hanging for about a minute when I try to access certain websites. It unfreezes fine after that minute, no crashes or anything, but it's very irritating. From what I can tell it only seems to do it on pages that use Flash. I've got the latest version installed, and it's made no difference. I tried downgrading to FF 15 and it's still the same. Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks,
MarkDid you try to disable protected mode in the Flash player?
You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

When Firefox opens here is NO toolbar! But Incredimail shows as something up there, even though I deleted it from my Firefox Home page. I do not want anything to do with Incredimail. How do I correct all of this and get a server that I want?
That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

Which is the lie, the first page or the second web page?
The details are that my first time user impression is that Firefox is a liar, or that the web page is developed by liars; or that the program doesn't function well as it said that my Firefox was out of date, but the link to fix the problem said that is was up to date. So, the only purpose of the statement that it was out of date was to get me to register, and that the company doesn't care what I think about it. I am totally open to another logical explanation. I mean you could give me an illogical explanation based on emotion but I'll just reject it and then uninstall Firefox because, well, that should be obvious. So, if it wasn't a lie, then the second page was a lie.... which is it?If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
*Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
*Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
