Why does w7 suspend opening of firefox and thunderbird???????

When I start up windows and then try to get mail with thunderbird, or try to surf with firefox, the programs are suspended. They used to load really slow, but now they are suspended. I have to go to the performance monitor to start them up again. I hate Microcrap. Is Microcrap this PETTY????
Please let me know if microbill is this petty. I know he can't program to save his life.

Thanks for your reply. The issue turned out to be with the extentions so I removed the single extension (AdBlock Plus 2.4) which seemed to be causing the problem. I appreciate your speedy reply and especially your suggestions for testing malware which can always pose a threat and for which I should be on the lookout more vigilantly generally.

Why does closing all open windows (15) and leaving only one drop ram usage from 1.5 to 1.4Gb and not more.

Why does closing all open windows (15) and leaving only one drop ram usage by only 100mb from 1.5 to 1.4Gb.
What is in this 1.4 gb ?
I don't care much about ram, It's just that cpu usage spike like crazy by the end.

Hi musicfan,<br />Sorry you are having problems with Firefox. Maybe you should have asked earlier and we could have fixed it.
Reading your comments I do not see that rolling back to an insecure Firefox 22 will actually help you much. You are probably best using IE, unless you have also damaged that.
*[[Export bookmarks to Internet Explorer]]
You should not use old versions they are insecure. Security fixes are publicised and exploitable.
* [[Install an older version of Firefox]]

Most others will not be having such problems. We are now able to say that with confidence because after developers missed a regression in Firefox 4 telemetry was introduced so that data was obtained. It may be an idea to turn on your telemetry, if you have not already done so, and decide to stick with Firefox.

Trying safe mode takes seconds. Unfortunatly if you are not willing to do even rudimentary troubleshooting there is not anything we can do to help you.

Hi J,
- Do you see an AICC splash screen? If yes then could you please let us know where exactly it crashes i.e. while loading which plugin or font?
- Do you have any 3rd party plugins installed? Can you please remove those (do take a backup of them) and see if AI launches fine? This way you would be able to find the plugin creating the problem.
- Did you install any OS or Ai update after which it started showing the problem?
- Please check if you have all the Verdana family fonts installed.
Let me know if any of these work.
Thanks,
Dhirendra

Why does my ZTE open c Firefox OS smart phone forget the wlan settings and does not ring the alarm?

Sometimes it is even enough to go outside to the waste bin to let my smartphone forget the settings for the wireless lan. When I return I have to enter the - not so short - code from my wlan router again. After that the internet connection is running as it should.
Additionally the alarm clock does not work, I can set alarms as I like, setting the volume to the max and activate also the vibration alarm but nothing happens when the preset time is arrived, even when the alarm clock is shown on the screen the whole time. Is my phone broken? Or is it a bug in my Firefox OS installation?
Where does Firefox OS store these values for wlan connection and alarm times? Is there an internal database that is maybe corrupted?

Why does a CD open in Windows and not in my Mac, when in Parallels?

I might not have the correct forum here but you may be able to help. Every time I put an audio CD into my computer when I have windows open in Parallels, the CD only opens in the virtual windows. Why can't I access the CD in Finder and can I change this?
Many Thanks
Andy

Hi
I don't use Parallels, but a similar thing happens with Virtual Box. The virtual machine grabs hold of the CD and it disappears from Mac OS X. Most of the time it's what I want, but I guess if I'm playing a CD in OS X and then start up a virtual machine it could be annoying.
In Virtual Box, there's an option to turn this off so that the virtual machine doesn't see the CD - maybe if you hunt around in Parallels you'll find a similar option.

Why does Safari randomly open up Firefox when certain urls are typed in?

While trying to access an FTP site, typed in the address into Safari and hit return. Safari then opened up URL in Firefox. Tried opening up a random website in Safari, one that I frequent regularly, and it opened in Safari... It took an excruciatingly long time to open.
I will add that Maverick was recently installed onto the machine. Has anyone come across this problem before and if so, what's the fix?
Thanks

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Why does Photoshop CS open-load presets and plug-ins-then freeze?

Photoshop was working great an hour ago. I closed my project, went to begin a new one, now it loads presets and plugins, reads done, yet it freezes and nothing opens.
I have plenty of RAM and memory, I am running windows 7.
I tried clearing the presets by holding down CTRL+ALT+SHFT - But still no luck.
Any guiding help would be greatly appreciated.

It must be a faulty plug-in that's causing this issue. What version of CS are you running? If it is CS6, have you installed the 13.0.1 update?
In Photoshop, can you go to Help > System Info, 'Copy' the contents and paste it here for us to diagnose your issue please?

Why does a specific website say validating and doesn't open the site for me?

why does a specific website say validating and doesnt open the site?

My Safari also has a hiccup. My ISP (comcast) helped me by suggesting I try the same task using a different browser (firefox). I had both installed, and firefox completed the task smoothly with no issues. I was told the problem was on my end and my safari browser was most likely flawed. I cannot find the procedure to uninstall & reinstall the Safari app. My iMac came with 2 discs (os & bundled apps) But the ability to choose Safari only, for this task remains illusive. Any suggestions or fixes to repair a glitch infected Safari will be appreciated.

Why did firefox and thunderbird both start in safe mode?

Turned on my computer, ran firefox and thunderbird like I always do, and they both started in safe mode. They both showed a box before opening that said they are running in safe mode. Why would they do this?

My PC was lagging because I had just started it. I clicked on the icons and then went into a text editor before they finished loading and was pressing shift while doing some text editing lol. Thanks for solving the mystery, I never knew about shift clicking to start safe modes.

Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

When you open Firefox in Safe Mode, it automatically disables your custom settings, themes, and add-ons. THOSE changes are temporary.
However, if you click any of the boxes underneath the line, "You can make some or all of these changes permanent", and then choose "Make Changes and Restart", everything you checked will be forever changed, even when you start Firefox again in 'normal' mode. [See attached image for a preview of the Safe Mode options].
To be clear:
1. If you check any of the boxes but do NOT select "Make changes and restart", those things will not be changed at all in safe mode.
2. If you select any of the boxes and you DO select "Make changes and restart", you will permanently lose any of the items you checked (bookmarks (except for backups), user preferences, etc.).
If you performed the action in step 2 above, you will only be able to restore those things if you have a previously created back-up of your Mozilla Profiles folder (not the same as the Firefox program folder).
Hope this helps.

Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

missyzz,
which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.
