Why does FF 8 together with Seoquake stop searching in Google and froze my PC?

I uploaded FF 8 and did not have any problems. Then I needed to upload SEOquake and from this moment on I am able to open FF and my bookmarked sites, but when I want to search in Google I'll see the search results but I am unable to click a link. FF stops working. When I want to close it I get the message the 'program does not respond'. It is more than annoying.
I was running FF 8 for approx. 2 weeks within it also crashed 2 times but at least it was running...
Today I reloaded the 3.6 version and everything is working fine.
I like FF and don't want to loose it - but with this big 'handicap'... Hope you have a solution for it.
Thanks already in advance and make it a great day.

I was about to ask the same. FF just updated itself to 10.0.1, and now it keeps opening with http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/10.0.1/whatsnew/, in addition to whatever tabs I had open the last time. Meanwhile, my preferences are (and have always been) set so that it should open with a blank page and even my home page is set as "about:blank". This would seem to be a bug with the update process to 10.0.1.
If I look at about:config and search for "start", I see the following entries. No matter how many times I clear them and restart, they keep coming back:
browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID
20120208060813
browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone
rv:10.0.1
startup.homepage_override_url
http://www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/%APP%/%VERSION%/whatsnew/

  • Why does my website return in japanese when searched on google?

    When my adobe muse website is searched for on search engines, the results are shown in Japanese.

    Hi Jon,
    Please check: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:www.confectionperfectioncakes.com
    It seems Google has that content cached from a previous use of the domain. Should go away and be updated with your current site content soon.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Why does my slide show with music crash back to the album on Retina display?

    I really enjoy making slide shows that have music on iphotonand have done it for years.  Suddenly after working with slide shows and music on my new Mac Book Pro 15" with retina display the slide show crashes back to the album display after the first slide.  The title comes up, the music starts the first slide comes up and then it just stops and goes back to the album display.  Everything was working fine until Sunday when I installed the new Iphoto.

    Ok, people. No one helped me on this one, I figured it out by myself.   There is a new section in Iphoto called "slideshows" and if you move the album from which you want to make a slideshow there the  slideshow and music work perfectly together with the benefit that now you and store different music with each slide show that I hadn't been able to do before.
    Mystery solved.

  • Why does a VRRP master with preemption disabled regain master state after the reboot ?

    Q: Why does a VRRP master with preemption disabled regain master state after the reboot?
    A: This issue is found in the following scenarios:
    1. When spanning tree is disabled on either of the VRRP controllers but enabled on upstream switch(es).
    2. When the controller(any one VRRP controller) and upstream device(s) run different versions of STP.
    3. STP convergence time is different across the VRRP controllers.
    In these scenarios, rebooted vrrp master is expected to come back as vrrp MASTER as the link takes some time to converge and fail to receive VRRP advertisement packets from its peer and may roll back to MASTER.
    Trigger for this is, since STP is enabled on intermediate switch and disabled on controller, switch is taking some time ~30 secs to converge the link while port on the controller has become UP and fail-over to Master due to 
    not receiving VRRP advertisement packets
    In all these cases, it is advised to enable holdtime to mitigate issue. Holdtime has been introduced to tackle this issue in the "preemption disabled scenario".
    Configuration via CLI:
    (controller) (config) #vrrp <id>
    (controller) (config-vrrp)#holdtime
    Description:
    The VRRP virtual router does not begin listening to advertisements until the holdtime expires. If your deployment includes a VRRP master with preemption disabled and an uplink switch is running RSTP, a higher value will prevent the VRRP master from regaining the master state after it reboots.
    Range: 30 - 120 seconds
    Default: 45 seconds

    Hey Jim,
    Thanks for the follow-up.  Here are some more details:
    OS - 10.8.2
    FCP X - 10.0.7
    I can't update either of these because of my Avid installation.
    Something else I didn't mention – this happens in a 4K project.  Notice how a default Zoom title looks:
    Lines 1 and 2 are almost stacked on top of each other.
    Here's my title style:
    Here's what the title looks after I apply the title style, modify Line 1, and remove the contents of Line 2:
    And here's how it looks in the exported master file MOV:
    Notice how it's pushed down?
    Then I decided to make a 720p project.  No more title problems.
    So if you have some 4K footage, Jim, give it a go.  Or if there's another 4K-er out there, try this and let me know.
    Thanks!

    Hi Kathryn ...
    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin... try troubleshooting.
    Quit Safari and Firefox if they are open.
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Use Safari to test. Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed in Safari > Preferences - Extensions, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • Why does a yield sign with an ! sign come up on some photos

    why does a yield sign with an ! sign in the middle come up on some photos

    That means iPhoto has broken the file path/link to the original image file. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
    iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
    File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
    or
    Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
    menu option to rebuild the library.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Why does my Mac boot with a Grey screen and a globe?

    Why does my Mac boot with a Grey screen and a globe?

    Usually means you don't have a bootable system installed so the OS is looking for a bootable system on the network.
    Does the computer eventually start up shortly after the globe appears? If so then open Startup Disk preferences, select your boot volume and click on the Restart button. If this is not the case then you need to reinstall Snow Leopard.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

    Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them.  This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults.  How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
    Please help! 
    Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!
    Carmelo

    Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
    If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
    Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
    Quit Address Book.
    Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
    See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.
