Why do I have to run the plug-in container in my processes constantly in this version? It takes up too much memory!

The earlier version of Firefox did not run this plug-in container. Every time I would remove it from my processes it would kill videos etc. But, it was all fine in the older version of Firefox, so why the change? So I chose not to update Firefox. Then, the other day, I saw that is was automatically downloading and I turned off my computer because it wouldn't stop and I didn't give permission. When I got home I could not use Firefox and it took me hours to figure out how to get the internet back. Then I got Firefox back and this stupid process is running again. It takes up too much memory. I don't like a bunch of extra processes running like that. So, why can't I just use the old version? Is this process absolutely necessary?

In the past the memory usage would end up as part of the Firefox program. Now with OOPP you can see it as a separate process and that makes it more noticeable.
You can disable OOP if you want.<br />

  • When I try to eject my IPod I get a message telling me I cannot eject because another app is using it. Nothing else is running, so I just have to pull the plug

    When I try to eject my IPod after synching I get an error message that I cannot eject it because files are in use by another application. Nothing else's running so I just have to pull the plug. Why is this ??

    You appear to have AVG installed:
    *See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
    From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
    The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.

  • Why Mac crashes when I run the clean speech ring of osx and then run the RestoreTime Machine?

    Why Mac crashes when I run the clean speech ring of osx and then run the RestoreTime Machine? Could it be that I run restore the setup from a usb drive. I've done thisbefore and when it has not been a problem.
    Does anyone have a good answer on this so I'm happy.

    What is that?
    run the RestoreTime Machine?
    What are you restoring? 
    Do you mean a full system restore?  Or something else?
    When does your Mac crash -- during the restore, when you try to start up afterwards, or ?

  • Tomcat Server Port Number: Why do I have to enter the port number?

    My ultimate goal is to setup a website that displays data from a database. I will use Java, Apache, Oracle, and whatever else I need to create a website the uses servlets, JavaServer Pages, and JDBC.
    I�ve got four Pentium III computers:
    1. Windows 2000 Server to be the web server (MyWebServer, IP = 10.10.1.1).
    2. Windows 2000 Professional to be the database server (MyDatabaseServer, IP = 10.10.1.2).
    3. Windows 2000 Professional that I use to develop and test (MyDeveloperPC, IP = 10.10.1.3).
    4. Windows 2000 Professional that I use as a client to connect to the website (MyClientPC, IP = 10.10.1.4).
    I installed Java Web Services Developer Pack on MyWebServer. It requires Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE), so I installed that first. The files I downloaded and installed are as follows:
    J2SE: j2sdk-1_4_0-rc-win.exe
    JWSDP: jwsdp-1_0-ea1-win.exe
    After installing these products, I set the environment variables as follows:
    JAVA_HOME = c:\j2se
    JWSDP_HOME = c:\jwsdp
    Path = c:\j2se\bin;c:\jwsdp\bin; [and other previous statements]
    On MyWebServer I start Tomcat (from the JWSDP menu option). It starts properly (as far as I can tell).
    Then, from MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
    http://10.10.1.1
    �The page cannot be displayed�.
    I then try again and add the port number:
    http://10.10.1.1:8080
    This displays the page c:\jwsdp\webapps\root\index.html.
    Here�s my question: Why do I have to enter the port number to get a page displayed? Do I have to have Apache HTTP Server running on MyWebServer to display pages without entering the port number?
    Thanks for your help.

    Oh simmy1, so silly....
    You have to enter the port number because Tomcat is running on that port (probably 8080). You actually don't NEED apache at all. Most people use it an HTTP listener because historically, servlet engines and application servers had shitty listeners. (WebLogic 5.1 was really bad.) Not sure how they stack up today.
    Port 80 is the default port that browsers will look at. (Try it, hit these forums with http://forum.java.sun.com and then hit it with http://forum.java.sun.com:80. See? Same thing.) If you don't want to have to enter a port number, just make sure whatever is running at the front of your network is serving on port 80. It doesn't matter if its apache, tomcat, weblogic, iis or whatever. There is nothing wrong with running Tomcat on port 80, although using a webserver proxy like apache is generally recommended.
    And don't listen to simmy1, this is his second bonehead post I've seen today: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=231154

    Why do I have to repeat the installation process every time I turn on my PC?

    Why do I have to repeat the installation process every time I turn on my PC?
    Because you never run the install of whatever program you are referring to with sufficient user privileges and it thus never "sticks". Run as admin, turn of security tools, let the install finish properly. If you need more guidance, provide system info and tell us what program you actualyl mean.

  • Can you and will you fix the "plug-in container" using so much memeory problem? I like using firefox, but if this keeps going on I am going to have to start using something like Chrome or going back to I/E.

    I use the latest version of Firefox, I run Windows XP on an older computer and the last two updates have included a "plug-in container" that use way too much memory when running a Flash based app. Can and will you be fixing this soon, I have "Googled" the problem and it seems pretty rampant, there are a lot of people having the problem and some who have left Firefox for Chrome, I enjoy using Firefox but if the problem continues I will have to find something else myself.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After downloading the last two versions of Firefox.

    Retail Leopard disc looks like this;
    (The disc itself has the same logo). If the one you've got is grey it simply won't work.
    Given the retail and second hand prices of Leopard (usually some on Amazon MP), you'll probably find it cheaper to go directly to Snow Leopard, although there could be software updates and printer driver problems that could nullify the difference.

  • Why do I have creative cc AND creative cc 2014 versions on my computer? And why do I have to uninstall the CC version?

    Why do I have creative cc AND creative cc 2014 versions on my computer? And why do I have to uninstall the CC version?

    definitely.
    i mostly use flash and haven't found any need for cc.  but there are definitely reasons to keep flash pro cs6.
    and you may find if you continue using adobe products that saving source files for other users becomes an issue unless you save older versions.  typically, (with flash pro at least) you can save to the current version and one version older.  after a few years, the current version cannot save for older versions and you may work with someone that only has an older version.
