Why does why does Flash container services load into memory whenever I manually clear all history? It's always set to 'ask before activate'.

I am running Windows 7 SP-1 Ultimate and I always keep tabs on my processes with Task Manager. It gets very old always have to stop that process tree after manually clearing Firefox history from within the browser. Is this a glitch or intended? Thank you for any answer.

I am not certain but I believe it is likely to be due to the fact that FlashPlayer use will result in Localy Stored Objects and possibly other cached items and so the service will need to open in order to clear them.
I know a couple of years ago there was a glitch* in the process and plugin container opened unnecessarily multiple times and stayed open for the session
* <sub> Bug 633427 - Clearing cookies launches instance of plugin-container for each plugin installed </sub>
As an aside you can choose not to save History or to use Private Browsing on those occasions when it is important not to save the History. There should be no need to clear History manually to improve Firefox performance.

  • Why is ENTIRE rt.jar loaded into memory?!?!?

    We're developing under JDK 1.4-beta2 and are close to releasing to in-house use of our application. One thing noticed is that the entire rt.jar and other jars get loaded into memory equaling ~45MB !! I am amazed if this is 'normal' behaviour. Are we missing some tweak or option grossly obvious or well known?
    Even a simple Hello World test program loads in the entire rt.jar.
    HELP!!

  • Even though I have ordered Firefox to clear my entire browsing history and cookies when it closes, it is not doing so when I exit. I have to manually clear the history and cookies each time.

    I am running Firefox 10.0.2 for Linux, and have never had this problem with previous versions. I wonder if it is an issue of Firefox not quitting completely when I close it...meaning it would not clear the history and cookies because it is not technically shut down. This is just a theory, however. Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I made sure the prefs.js file had read and write permissions, and since then it seems to be saving my settings and deleting all the information I ordered it to on exit.
    Thanks for your help! This was a minor problem, but it's nice to know that everything is working the way it's supposed to now.

  • Help! Help! Help! Why is DPV and LACS not loading into memory ?

    Postalsoft Desktop Mailer - load into memory is checked and it does not load into memory,
    I tried it unchecked and it is the same speed.
    How do I fix this problem?????

    Tim,
    Please make sure to post any "classic Firstlogic software" questions under the Business Objects Enterprise Information Management (EIM) forum and you will get a much faster response.  Also you can log a case for support by going to the Help and Support tab on the SAP website, then click on Report A Product Error to log a case for support.  Just make sure to choose BOJ-EIM-COM for the component when logging a case for DeskTop Mailer or Business Edition. 
    Steve is correct.... we are aware of the slow speed issue with address correction when using DPV and LACS in DeskTop Mailer and Business Edition 7.90.  Rev 4 should be out by the end of this week.  This will correct the speed issue.  Please make sure to have the auto update option turned on in the software so you get this update.
    Thanks,
    Kendra

  • Since last update, Wells Fargo website opens in a sidebar, it it does open in Safari. Only way to make it work is to close all tabs and then open Wells Fargo from a bookmark. Have cleared all history, cache, cookies. Mac OS X 10.7.3 and Firefox 10.0.

    Have cleared all history, cache, and cookies. Have a Mac running Lion OS X 10.7.3 and Firefox 10.0. This website works fine on a PC and Mac with Safari.

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

  • How do I find out the exact path of each and every file that LabVIEW finds and loads into memory for a given top level vi?

    How do I find out the exact path of each and every file that LabVIEW finds and loads into memory for a given top level vi? There is probably a trivial, easy way to get this info, but I have not yet found it!  Thanks..

    Or if you want to grab all the paths programatically, try the attached VI.
    Open the top level that you want all the paths from and close all others, then open the
    attached and run it. It will return an array of all the VIs that the VI
    in question uses, including vi.lib VIs. You can filter these as well if
    you like.

    Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

  • Firefox will not display anything from Yahoo! correctly anymore. I get a skeleton text structure whenever I attempt to load any yahoo-based pages. However, they load in Opera fine. I've cleared all history from FF, with no results.

    Update March 7, 2011:
    I've managed to get it to work via fiddling with Adblock's settings and what I had it set to block for me.
    It will load any other page I go to fine, but Yahoo! is a no-go. I've tried clearing all history, closing FF and then restarting it, but that didn't work. I attempted to open Yahoo! in my backup Opera browser, and it worked fine. This is a little annoying.

    Bring it to an Apple store or AASP.

  • Why Does Flash Player Use So Much Memory In Lion?

    Forgive me if this has been asked, elsewhere.  I have an issue I have been seeing since upgrading to Lion (10.7.3) and the latest version of Safari (5.1.3, I believe?).  When browsing the web for a while (particularly, Flash heavy sites, I have noticed my computer's temperature getting hot and more beach balling starting to occur.  The first time this happened, I opened Activity Monitor and noticed that Flash Player was using, almost, 900 MB of RAM (and I had less than 100 MB available).  Other than Safari, I only had a couple of other applications open, neither of which were memory intensive.  Quitting Safari gave me back a huge amount of memory, my temperatures, quickly, dropped back down to reasonable levels, and the performance lag went away.  Anyone know why this is happening in Lion?  I never saw this kind of memory hogging under Snow Leopard.  Is Flash Player this much of a nuisance under, either, Firefox or Chrome?  Is there anything I can do to alleviate this?
    I have a 2010 MacBook Pro, 2.53 GHz, i5 with 4 GB of RAM.
    Thanks.

  • Why does LabVIEW sometimes hang when DLL loads into memory?

    I'm calling a third party DLL from LabVIEW 2010.  LV occassionally hangs (Not Responding) when either loading the DLL into memory or when closing my main VI.  When it doesn't hang, it communicates with the DLL seamlessly.  When I try to build an Application (exe), LV always hangs during the build at the point that it is saving the main VI (the scroll on the builder moves until it says "Saving main.vi").  Any insight into what needs to be done to the DLL (or VI) to resolve this issue?

    What does the DLL do? One cause of this could be to try to load/unload other DLLs in PROCESS_ATTACH or PROCESS_DETACH of DLLMain. Microsoft has in many places said that doing this is highly unsafe and asking for all kinds of troubles, since the DLL loading is not fully reentrant.
    Another possibility would be incorporation of ActiveX components that use some form of RPC mechanisme to communicate with out of process ActiveX/OLE components. The necessary RPC proxy hooks into the calling processes message loop and that is a delicate piece of code in LabVIEW. Even when the DLL does not use ActiveX itself, it might employ some message hooking on its own and mess up things in a way that Windows and/or LabVIEW get confused.

  • Why does Clear All History take so long?

    I like to clear my browse history frequently (daily). With recent releases, this takes a very long time. I frequently get an "Unresponsive script" warning. The message is:
    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responnding. You can stop the script
    now. or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
    Script: chrome://browser/content/sanitize.js:133
    Why is this taking so long?

    Are you doing that via History > Clear Recent History ?
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Are you only clearing the history or are you clearing more items (cookies, cache)?<br />
    If you clear more items then try to select only one of them to see if you can isolate the cause.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Why is my cd not loading into the cd/dvd drive?

    When I insert my cd, nothing happens.  My touchsmart PC will not load the cd or dvd.

    In the past I imported over 1500 cds into iTunes without any problem, but when I just now checked one cd, it was recognized as an audio cd only and listed all the tracks as 'track 01', etc.
    Checking some ten cds it turned out, that only two of them were recognized, i.e. all data from the cd were read into iTunes.
    The cds are all regular and official.
    The reason must lie with iTunes (version 11.0.1 (12))

  • Exporting from Motion Loads Into Memory

    I completed a slideshow in Motion, and am trying to export it out for a DVD.
    First I tried exporting from Motion to DV NTSC format, and after watching my memory & CPU, it appears that Motion is loading the project into memory for export.
    So I quit the process, quit Motion, loaded the Motion project file into compressor, and submitted a job to the Batch monitor to compress from my Motion project to DVD.
    The process is taking 5 hours for a 10 minute piece. The CPU's are running at around 10% and my memory is full? I was hoping compressor would not load the project into memory and instead use the CPU to render.
    I suspect my slow down is from the project paging in and out of memory to compress?
    Does anyone know how to force compressor to use CPU for rendering and not load a Motion Project FIle into memory?
    Thank you.

    I do slideshows regularly. I render out of Motion to DV. Clean, fast, slick.
    I pull that DV movie file into DVDSP (if I'm going that direction) and let the defaults to their job. Clean, fast, predictable results. Your output efficiency depends on your image sizes and effects and nesting so I carefully reduce the size of my stills, preplan nests, and prerender/reimport where possible
    I don't see where you are having a problem unless you are simply misinformed. You must render out of Motion or you must render the .motn project file from within another app like FCP but it's going to be processed in exactly the same way as if you have rendered out of Motion.
    You CAN set up Quemaster to run batces using all of your Mac's cores as separate rendering engines but that gains you nothing in Motion projects, usually, since you only have one graphic card. And Quemaster, despite a few success stories on that forum, remains a cruel joke.

  • Flash fails to load into Firefox.  Why?

    I have tried too many times to load the Flash player into firefox (3.6.6 on Windows NT (SP3), 32 bit).
    Flash does work on IE, but never on Firefox.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No joy.
    It does not matter if Firefox is running or not why I try to load Flash.
    It may be a clue that the automatic download does not start.
    Instead I have downloaded install_flash_player_ax.exe and run that program.
    If goes to 100% and then says "DONE"
    I downloaded the Adobe Reader and that works fine.
    It is a bit frustrating that the help pages suggest in several places
    that I upload Flash in order to get help uploading flash.
    Among my attempts to get a clean Adobe environment on the machine,
    I tried to remove the Adobe Download Manager. It failed with the message:
        Error loading C:\Program File\NOS\bin\getPlus_helper.dll
    Is this a problem for loading Flash?
    How can I get the named file? (There is no Program Files\NOS directory.)
