Why does Firefox 9.01 use such excessive memory that my a/v program issues a warning? This problem is going to run Firefox users to another browser.

It makes no sense for so much memory to be used. This has been my favorite browser, but this gives me second thoughts. I see that I'm not the only one. 600+MB just to view my home page? I must close browser to regain memory, but it is sucked right back out in minutes. This is a serious problem when you consider that it will cause people to shy away from Firefox. I would rather see you succeed rather than fall to IE or Chrome.

600+ MB does sound like a lot, but that depends on what you are using as your homepage, and how much of that 600 is being used by the plugin container - Flash and other plugins. Also, using that amount might have to do with how much RAM you have installed - the more RAM installed and the more Firefox allows itself to use. If you have AVG 2012 installed and the AVG Advsior is giving you that message, see this: <br />

  • After reloading firefox I have to approve all sights that I go to, how do I fix this problem?

    Every time I select a favorite or try to open new web sight a warning pops up asking me if I want to open the selected web page. I have to answer several questions to open it up. I had to reload FireFox, and since then I have had nothing but problems.

    Firefox itself does not normally ask you to confirm that you wish to open a website.
    It seems likely that you have some other software installed, possibly some part of a suite of security programs, or [[firewalls|firewall]] that is causing this problem. Possibly your security software; or whatever; recognised the original Firefox version, but not the new version. You may need to review the settings.

  • Why does my printe say "used supply in use" 1217nfw

    Why does my printe say "used supply in use" model m1217nfw

    Hello,
    The "Used Supply in Use" means that the printer believes the toner cartridges installed in the printer have been previously used in another printer.
    Have you recently changed the toner cartridge on this printer? Are you having issues printing?
    Remember if you find any of my post helpful or want to say thanks make sure to click the white star under my name to give me Kudos.
    I really appreciate it!
    You should be able to still print without problems even though the message comes up.

  • Why does my printe say "used supply in use/:

    why does my printer say used supply in use?  And I can't print anything

    Pretty sure its to make sure you don't get good use out of your cartridges... basically this company trying to get 10 cents a print out of you
    After 1100 prints, regardless of how much ink used, if you take it out (the genuine 85a) at this point and put it back in, say after a jam or you want to shake it, it tells you have a used cartridge, i have tested continually using this, and got 500 more prints, with an annoying nag that you cant stop from every page printed. you have to take it out because this printer is notorious for a section ink don't get too, even though there probably is over 50% of ink left in it.. you take it out and shake it and can print, hundreds and hundreds of more pages... but after the 1100 point mark, since the printer tracks statistics it goes into this "used mode" so averages of prints won't go up... im pretty sure its devious code... but what do i know.. i just wont be getting new HP printers.. they claim it can cause damage.... the heads are on the toner cartridge... if its damaged the cartridge is replaced and thats that... so their warnigs are smoke and mirrors..

  • Why does the Java API use int instead of short or byte?

    Why does the Java API use int if short or even byte would be sufficient?
    Example: The DAY_OF_WEEK field in Calendar uses int.

    One of the point is, on the benchmark tests on Java performance, int does far better than short and byte data types.
    Please follow the below blog talks about the same.

  • Why does IPhoto  create duplicates of photos and graphics that is on my Mac when I import Photostream.  I started out with 4000 photos now I have almost 28,000.  I am using new Ipad and the Mac is  running Mountain Lion

    Why does IPhoto create dupicates of photos and graphic that is on My Mac when I import the photos from Photo stream to the library?  I started out with about 4,000 photos when I transferred everything from my PC.  I use a new IPad and IPhone to take the photos.  The Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 3.1 Intel prosessor.  I am using IPhoto 11.

  • Why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted?

    why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted< yes even the trash

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Why does my computer display a spring coloured wheel that stops me from doing anything

    Why does my computer display a spinning coloured wheel that stops me from doing anything, the only way to get rid is to switch off and reload...

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

    Where are the pictures coming from? I would more likely believe that your system has a virus than photoshop, but without more information, I could be misinterpreting your post.

My iPhone 4 worked with the car technology.  Is there a fix for the iPhone 5 to allow call pickup via the Acura?
    Thanks

    HI Friend,
    Probably the problem it is because your iPhone 4 and your car have the same Bluetooth technology ( 2.1 ), but iPhone 5 has new Bluetooth technology ( 4.0 ).
