When I clear history Firefox (4 Mac) ask me to stop a JS script.

Could it be a spyware or a keylogger ? I did not install any plugins.
I stopped the script but can't remember its name...

Can someone at FIREFOX or whoever fix this very annoying issue, thanks.

  • When use "Clear history" firefox 4 create to much processus plugin-container.exe process

    Hi,
    When i clear History , Cookie, etc.... i see in the process manager any more process for plugin-container.exe
    See screenshot : http://i52.tinypic.com/spvtq1.png

    Twice recently my main XP system has begun to run extremely slowly and has taken a very long time to shut down. Investigating yesterday, I found that plugin-container.exe was hogging memory, using 250Mb. Available memory went don as low as 6 Mb. As I closed programs it grabbed more, eventually peaking at 400Mb. There were several tabs open, so I closed them one by one, and it was clear that one web site had triggered this problem. I suspect that there had also been memory leakage, with an area of memory no longer available. Eventually the system did close down, but it took 20 minutes. Firefox 4.0.1 is installed.
    Same problem occurred with a laptop on which 4.0.1 has just been installed.

  • Why do the bookmark icons return to default when i clear history?

    Why do the bookmark icons return to default (the blue bubbles) when i clear history? This is using os x mavericks.
    OS X Snow Leopard did not do this. It retained the site icon next to my bookmarks.

    The webpageicons database may be corrupted. It can happen.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db
    Click Go then move the WebpageIcons.db file to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari. It may take a day or two for webpageicons to re populate.

  • Thumbnail adresses, and website icons are not being deleted when I clear history and cache, how do I delete these?

    I am trying to delete the icons that websites use which are located in the user file of appdata/local/mozilla,
    and the website adresses that are located at the bottom of the thumbnails when opening a new tab. clearing data deletes the actual thumbnails, however the adresses are still located below where the thumbnails would be. I have tried clearing history with everything checked, and all history selected to be cleared, and also deleted the cache and cookies. what can I do to delete these things? Thanks

    Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
    #Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    #Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    #Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • When I clear history script:chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136 hangs, what is this?

    When I "clear recent history" it hangs and "script:chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136" comes up and I have to stop the script to continue. This started within the last week.

    On Windows, the file path is:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\%PROFILENAME%\downloads.sqlite
    I renamed the file, but it did not work.
    What I did was uncheck all of the checkboxes in "Clear Recent History..."
    By one checkbox at a time, I cleared each item.
    When I reached the "Cookies" item, I got the unresponsive script/JavaScript error, so I left that unchecked and cleared the rest of the items.
    After I cleared everything else, I returned to the "Cookies" item, and I was able to clear it now.
    "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
    Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:136"

  • Updated to Firefox 21 and when I open the firefox browser it ask me to update to the latest version

    I finally updated to Firefox 21 and today when I opened the Firefox browser, my google homepage looks odd and a large message from Firefox appears saying I need to update to the latest version of Firefox. I double checked the version and I have version 21.
    I also don't know if this has anything to do with my current problem. A pop up window is suddenly appearing just after I turn on my PC, at first I thought it was triggered by Firefox. It's a security warning saying the certificate from GEOtrust SSL CA isn't a trusted certification authority for javadl-esd-secure.oracle certificate. I just find it odd that this message just started a few days ago and now after updating Firefox to the latest version, it's still telling me to update. Thanks

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • History will not clear using Firefox under Mac OS 10.9.2

    Cannot clear the history. No matter what I do, I'm stuck with junk left over in the History drop-down (Sears and Lowes sites always show up). Tried uninstalling/reinstalling without success. The same sites still show up. Tried going to ~Library/Application Support/Firefox but that folder doesn't exist. How can I clear my history, and more importantly be certain my computer is not being loaded up with retained junk left behind by the browser?

    You can check the places.sqlite database.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    Remove all places.sqlite file(s) in the Firefox profile folder to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database from the most recent JSON backup (bookmarks-####-##-##_xx.json) in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • SOME OF MY VISTED URL ARE NOT BEING CLEARD WHEN I CLEAR HISTORY. THEY ARE PRESENT IN AUTOCOMPLETE BAR

    i use firefox 16 and even if i clearly my history the autocomplete bar still shows some url when i type there 1st letter

    Do the sites that appear have a small star to the right of the URL? If they do, that means they are bookmarks. If that isn't the case, have you cleared your whole history, or just a certain time range?

  • When will you optimize Firefox for Mac OSX Lion?

    Mac OSX Lion has hit the Mac App Store. It has several new features for Safari. The features are very cool, and I am hoping that Mozilla is planning on implementing similar features with Firefox. The main ones that I'm looking for is a better full screen mode and disappearing scroll bars.

    No answers, but Mozilla is aware of the new release of Lion, and hopefully are working on solving some of the known issues. There are some rather formal technical discussions and reports, as mentioned in this contributors thread: [/forums/contributors/707160]

  • When I first load Firefox, it comes up with an error message about "script". Can you help me?

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/846741]]</blockquote>
    I just double click on the Icon, and it seems it takes forever to load.
    After this action, an error message comes up with a statement that it is trying to read some sort of script. Next it tells me to press continue to go ahead. At this time, it loads up normally. Can you help?

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

  • When I updated to Firefox 5.0, my McAfee software stopped working. How do I get it to work?

    I have lost my McAfee protection by updating Firefox. Can I go back to the previous version?

    The McAfee Site Advisor 3.3.1 extension was the number 2 cause of crashes in one of the Firefox 5.0 betas and Mozilla Blocklisted it. That extension is disabled in Firefox 5, Firefox 6.0beta, and Firefox 7.0alpha versions. McAfee is working on a new re-written version of the Site Advisor extension to fix their problems - ETA is mid to end of July. https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/

    I just installed Yosemite, now I can't clear history without clearing cookies. How do I clear  history and keep cookies?

    I think you guys make a great point, I too don't like how my cookies are erased when I clear history and have to use the go around. Just a reminder and I'm sure you all know, this is a user to user forum and Apple may or may not get to see your opinion. I think you should let them know. You can leave them feedback at the following url. https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
