Why is the Firefox mobile (14) service consuming 79MB for the single tab in which I'm entering this question?

I love the performance of the new beta, but since install (phone or sd) the prog has gorged on memory. After adding a tab with some media the mem load jumps to 169MB (half the available on my Nexus One). Memory consumption grows so fast that I can't use the app for normal browsing. As mentioned in the question, all this memory is going to the Firefox service not the app. Finally, after returning to the single tab where this text is entered the memory load attributed to Firefox has stabilized around 93MB.

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed reply to your problem with Firefox for Android beta. Thanks for reporting this issue.
There is an open bug for this, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760653 with a bit of information about how to mitigate the issue (but, not put much of a dent in it). I've added a note to the bug with a link to your report to see if we can get some more action on it.
Thanks for helping to test this version and for the feedback!
Regards,
Michelle

  • HT1386 Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started

    Why can't I sync my iPad to pc, it says this iPad cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not stated, the last time they were synced was December and I had no problem.

    Log in as an Admin User on your PC. Type 'Services' in the search area above when you click on start. (or see control panel and select Admistrative Tools.)
    Select the Services shortcut.  In the window that appears with your listed service, navigate to ipod service, Apple Mobile Device service, and, Bonjour Services.  Doubleclick them to get the property page.  Change startup to automatic, click apply.  Then click start,
    There is a known issue that when iTunes updates it incorrectly sets the Service startup type - this is normally due to installations on Vista and win7 services and  drivers that run in the Local Sstem requiring Admin account permissions that are not always granted with User Account Elevation, when running installations or updates in User account.
    Normally the Local System is set to inherit the User account permission token when being set up - but Apple in their infinite wisdom have a higher token in place for their services.  so a standard user cannot derogate the required elevation, even with the UAC to admin prompt, since the local system is owned by the Machine account and only Admin, bBackup, Restore, Machine, operator accounts carry the same descriptor permissions on process ownership to set these services correctly.
    Third party security programs, such as Kaspersky can also limit installations by User account installations, which adds to the problem.  I have had a few installations fail, even in Admin mode - because Kaspersky sits on par with the Main Machine Administrator account for watching program and installation directories and registry keys - (which have  higher privilege levels in some respects than the ordinary Admin account you normally start a new machine in before you add any other user accounts- all very confusing - but that's Microsoft all over for you.
    Follow Ralph's advice if you do not have the necessary software already installed.  You should install Apple's Application Management Software - which will look after the installation of all required elements for you and notify you of updates pending.  In options have it set to Notify only - not all updates may be requred, and this option allows you to see what is being installed.  It is good practice to set all updating software to Notify only - especially any thirdparty software - much of which carry all sorts of little 'extra's' you  may not need or want.
    It is also good practice to keep an eye on your Program and Features option in control panel, just to see what is being installed and when - including Windows updates.
    Sorry about the long reply, but with December being your last sync - a lot can change in the meantime. Best be prepared.
    Best wishes, Ct

  • ITunes 9.2, the Apple Mobile Device service is not started...(crashed).

    "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started"
    The above shows each time I try to start iTunes after upgrading to 9.2 (from 9.1) this morning on my Sony Vaio (Windows 7 32 bit) laptop.
    The AMD service crashes as soon as iTunes starts; services control panel shows this and the event viewer confirms with : The Apple Mobile Device service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 6 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    Restarting the service while iTunes is running does not provoke iTunes into listing my iPhone, which, under 9.1 was all working correctly.
    After removing iTunes, all associated apple programs, QuickTime etc, removing temporary files and so forth, then reinstalling 9.2, I'm left in the same place, each time I start iTunes, the AMD service crashes and iTunes does not list my iPhone.
    Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards, Gary Thomlinson

    Most people on here seem to be having problems with iTunes 9.2 on 64 systems, I however am on 32 bit.
    I've also noticed just this morning, that putting my old iPod on this computer does spring iTunes into life and the device shows/syncs. The iPhone 3GS however does not, causing the service to crash or just itunes to ignore the device. I've tried and restore/backup etc (via another computer) and still iTunes refuses to see the iPhone. This has SO got to be a bug.
    Irony is, my iPhone 4 arrives today, and this is the only computer I have access to at the moment, meaning no iPhone 4 activation today!!

  • On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

    On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
    It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.

  • "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not s"

    This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.
    why do i keep getting this whenever i connect my iPod touch (2G) started happening today, i think it has something to do with "Bonjour" i blocked it i believe and when i go to control panel>Administrative Tools>Services and try to start it up it says "Windows could not start Bonjour Service on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to the service-specific error code -1.". Please can anyone help?

    Try to enable it under "RUN" then type MSCONFIG then on the SERVICES tab look for the Bonjour service and enable it

    Ok, so here goes. I'm having the "This [device] cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started." problem. Yes, I know there is a support page (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567) for this, but I have followed absolutely everything there is to follow on that page, and NOTHING IS WORKING.

    Ok, if anyone is wondering, I fixed this God-**** problem. You know what I did? SIMPLE. I just uninstalled a Windows application. Dunno why, but it just kinda clashed with itunes. I was ******, and I'm still ******. LOLS. It took me half a day to figure it out. Bummerrrrrr
