Windows 7 counters for Firefox

Hi Experts,
Please help with an issue regarding Firefox productivity in Win7.
I like to use lots of extensions and plug-ins for my FF, but some time ago I started to experience high CPU and memory resources usage for the browser according to the Task Manager. I have an old notebook with 2Gb RAM, which seems to be not enough to use plenty of extensions, especially with other applications running. Basically, there was nothing special (eg Adobe, Apple plug-ins, Adblock, Fire Gestures etc.) but I had to disable all of them according to recommendations on your official site to reduce memory consumption (Safe Mode state). It helped, but now I have only a bare browser which is not appropriate for me.
My question is how can I collect performance statistics based on add-ons configuration? I tried to use Process Explorer utility, which is very beautiful and gives some average values, but I want real numbers to compare (I found no logging option available). I think that Windows Performance Monitor would be useful, but there are lots of counters, and I don't know which of them have relation to Firefox. Could you please provide with basic (or maybe extended as well) counter configuration to track and log main resources used by the browser? That is how I want to test CPU and memory utilization to find out less "harmful" extensions.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Yuriy

Hi Tylerdowner,
Thank you, but it only reads current data, not a collection for an hour eg. If you start Performance Monitor (Win+R, type ''perfmon'', hit Enter, go to Performance Monitor icon under the Monitoring Tools), you'll see what I mean. You get only main processor load as the default counter, and I'd like to customize it for Firefox and then save the report after some time of activity with specific settings.

  • Windows Media plugin for firefox loads but does not play

    Hi,
    I am facing problems using windows media plugin on firefox as well as other browsers as well. I guess the problems would lie on the windows media plugin.
    Few weeks back, I do not have any problems running windows media player on firefox, however I am unable to do so now. I am able to load the plugin but I cannot play it. I tried testing the plugin on the site below. Thank you for your help.

    Hi,
    You can try to fully trust Firefox + its sub processes/files in the security software (antivirus and firewall). You can also try to '''Disable''' other possibly conflicting '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. You could also uninstall it from the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features and [www.interoperabilitybridges.com/windows-media-player-firefox-plugin-download reinstall it].

  • Where can I find a windows zip installer for Firefox 3.6.13 ?

    Does a zip installer (windows version) for Firefox 3.6.x exist ,like the one for Minefield?

    Mozilla stopped releasing the zip builds when they released new versions of Firefox due to crashes caused by faulty installations.
    They do make zip builds and they are available from the same ftp sites that you get the Minefield zip builds. Ensuring that you get the one that corresponds to the release is not always straightforward. For 3.6.13 it is available from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/3.6.13-candidates/build3/unsigned/win32/en-US/

  • How do I create a default profile for all users of a computer in Windows 7/Vista for Firefox versions above 8? I'd like all new users on a computer to get the same defaults, bookmarks, homepage, etc...

    I have found help for this on older versions of Firefox, but I can't seem to find anything for the latest versions above 8. There must be someway to accomplish this for imaging on a large scale.

    You can create a defaults\profile template folder in the Firefox program folder for new profiles the same way as in older versions. That folder only isn't there anymore because all files have been moved to the omni.ja(r) archive, so you need to create it yourself.

  • I downloaded and installed Windows Media Player for Firefox, why can I not play games?

    I have done everything Firefox has told me, in order to play games. I cannot play games on msn, pogo, etc. The game loads, the screen changes and nothing happens. The screen stays blank.

    Firefox can find plugins in several locations, and in most cases the paths are listed in the Windows registry. Firefox 21 changed the location of a "shared" plugin folder so those installers that do not include the path in the registry may strand the plugin in the obsolete location. The solution is in this article: [[Windows Media or other plugins stopped working after Firefox update]].

  • I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

  • I'm getting popup notices that Firefox has a problem, and Windows is looking for a solution; then it closes Firefox and says Windows will let me know if it finds a solution. No crash report window comes up.

    Firefox is my default browser on my new laptop, with OS Windows 7. I've now had several instances where a Windows popup comes up saying Firefox has developed a problem and may have to close. It also indicates Windows "is looking for a solution to the problem." No solution is found, however, and Firefox is forced to close, with the happy notice that Windows will let me know if it finds a solution to the problem. If there is any tech data on the crash, I'm not sure where to find it, and no Firefox crash report window comes up. I thought it was an anomaly the first time, but this has now occurred at least 4 times in the past several days.

  • Why when I open Firefox does it come up "not responding"? When I attempt to close I get a windows window to check for the reason for no response. Magically, all of a sudden Firefox "POPS" back to life. Any thing I can do about this??

    Firefox will open and then "freeze" (Says Firefox not responding). Have to attempt to close from lower bar and then get message from Windows - options
    1. close window now
    2. windows will search for the reason
    When I click on either option I have to wait "magically" Firefox will "pop" alive. May stay responsive for full session or may again "not respond" when I try to access another site.

    I have also found that unchecking the "Use hardware acceleration when available" option solves this issue. This option is in the Advanced section, under the General tab.

  • How can I open multiple "non-merged" firefox windows? With IE, I would use the "-nomerge" option. Is there something similar for Firefox?

    I use a website in my daily work activities that I need to have multiple sessions of the website open at any given time. Natively, I cannot have multiple sessions open in a single browser (separated tabs or separate windows) without one session taking over the other. Internet Explorer has a command line option (-nomerge) that will allow me to accomplish what I need. The target line of the IE shortcut properties would look like this:
    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nomerge
    Is there a similar solution for Firefox?
    I am running Windows 7, IE11 and Firefox 26
    Thank you in advance,
    Robert

  • Since I updated to firefox 5.0, the windows media player plug in for firefox doesnt work anymore :(

    Ok I recently upgraded to firefox 5.0, and then when I went to a website that uses windows media player to watch videos and news reports, it said I needed to download the windows media player plug in for firefox. And yet I had already done that in the past. So it directs me to the plug in for windows media player 11, I download and install and it doesnt work. Website repeats the same message, you need to download plug in. It was working fine with firefox 4.0! I use the OS Windows 7, 64bit. Any help please?

    Yes I did, at first it identified it as already there, so it gave the option of repairing it, etc, so I uninstalled the Windows Media Player, then Installed it again, and it still doesn't seem to work! I have the same problem with several other plug ins, in the add ons and plug in section of Mozilla tools, I see that say, "incompatible with firefox 5.0" but as days go by those add-ons, that are built by those other websites seem to be repairing it, but I wanted to know for something as important as windows media player plug in, am I the only one getting this problem? :/

  • Make Firefox Open Windows Media Player for Video Files

    I need to make Firefox open the actual Windows Media Player application (not a plugin, the actual app window) when clicking on video links, e.g., WMV. These file types are already associated in Windows Explorer with WMPlayer, but this has no effect on Firefox.
    What happens right now is that after clicking a video, I get a black screen with the yellow VLC Player icon (VideoLAN VLC is installed on my PC) in the center and no video. I do NOT want to launch VLC or any internal plugins.

    You can change what type of application opens for each kind of type in Firefox's options.

  • Windows 7 and updated firefox window do not load completely . the banner may load or it times out. If I leave it sit for a while it may finish loading. New computer.. cannot figure it out.

    I have a new computer with windows 7. I downloaded the mozilla and the update.. now my pages do NOT load completely. the page banner but not the content. or it takes a really long time. When it will not load it say the try again.. and i reload a number of times to get it to load... HELP ME!!
    I will include an example below... in the URL blank.
    This includes Yahoo and Google...
    occasionally it says ...
    The connection was reset
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2

    Greetings,
    RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2 I tried to reinstall but none of the tabs function . Thank you for your assistance

    '''roboform_firefox:'''
    The original poster (OP) reported his/her OS as Windows 7 in the body of the question, therefore, your solution would be of no use to the OP. You can also see the OS for the system used by the OP to post the question to the right of the original question in this forum .
    Additionally, using an old version of Firefox is ill-advised as old versions contain uncorrected security vulnerabilities. Roboform has been very good lately in keeping their products updated for new Firefox releases and any problems with their products should be reported to them so that they can address any issues and release an update if needed.
