Windows 8 Task Manager Startup Tab Blank
Good Evening,
My task manager startup tab is empty, any ideas why.
Thank You,
K
That's not a fix, that's a "here use this other thing instead and ignore your problem, which is probably caused by a deeper issue creating more problems your not even aware of."
How do I (negatively) vote this down?
Do you have 3rd party tools installed which run at startup?
I suggest you to sue AutoRuns, which is much better:

Why do I have 2, 3, 4 copies of Firefox shown in Windows Task Manager Processes Tab?
After a few days, Firefox will get real slow, has lots of disk activity when opening a new Tab or going to another website. When I look in Task Manager, I'll see as many as 4 instances of Firefox in the Processes Tab. Even if I restart Firefox, some or all of these processes remain and I have to manually stop them to get Firefox back to speed. What is wrong or is it something I'm doing?
Hello there,
You can test to see whether one of your plugins is causing Firefox to use too much memory by selectively disabling some of them:
1. Click the menu button and choose Add-ons.
2. In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Plugins panel.
3. Click on a plugin in the list to select it, then select Never Activate to disable it.
Repeat for some of the plugins in your list.
After disabling some of your plugins, close and restart Firefox, and observe its memory usage. If you don't see an improvement, you can enable those plugins again and try with a different set.
If none of the above solutions work then please see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram
Hope this helps! -
But when I try to open Firefox again, I get this error message: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. But I can't find any way to close Firefox. Twice, I've tried removing and reloading Firefox, but it's still happening. Any ideas how to deal with this?
Open the Windows Task Manager > '''Processes''' tab and look for '''firefox.exe'''.

I play Farmville or on Pogo and my computer keeps giving me the hour glass and when I look on my Windows Task Manager it shows that I am using over 600,000 k of memory. When it does that I can't do anything unless I just use the power button to shut the computer down or use the task manager to "End Process". I do not like to do either of these so I usually just sit and wait for it to fix itself then later it does it all over again.
Also when I was doing defrag on the file type tab it showed two Mozilla Firefox so I am wondering if this is the issue but I only see one in the control panel.I play Farmville or on Pogo and my computer keeps giving me the hour glass and when I look on my Windows Task Manager it shows that I am using over 600,000 k of memory.

I have been using Firefox on my Desktop PC with Windows XP for a long time. However, today possibly due to some virus (I attached an infected flash drive to my PC) a suspicious change in homepage (www.delta-homes.com) of my firefox occurred. Simultaneously an error message of "WinZip" appeared on screen. I figured that there must be some software in "C:\Program Files\" which is also causing problem to my firefox. I opened Program Files and removed that folder named WinZip. (Tried to uninstall it but it won't happen so I had to use "Unlocker" to kill processes this folder was associated with and then deleted the folder.)
From that point onward, My FireFox started to behave weird. Whenever I click on Firefox icon or access firefox.exe from any source (start menu, quick launch, program files, Run Command), it starts but appears only in "Task Manager Processes Tab". In that Processes Tab, firefox.exe is continuously using 50% of CPU but it does not appear on Desktop at all.
To go a step further, I uninstalled firefox and tried to re-download from Firefox official website but the download fails in the start saying "Download is interrupted". (See attached Image). So I downloaded a previous version of Firefox (v 34.0) from www.filehippo.com and installed it but the same problem is happening with this version too.
I am confused and surprised what might be causing this problem. Everything else on PC running fine. Kindly help me restore my Firefox so that I may not lose any precious Bookmarks, Settings and other Data. thanksStart your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

I typically keep many windows with several tabs open. It is possible that this causes more crashes since the number of pages multiplies any effect most users with less pages/tabs would experience. I have been having problems with Firefox crashing Using the windows task manager I have looked into this issue monitoring lots of variables. Bottom line the crash is caused by increasing memory usage possibly caused by the flash add on which is doing many IO reads on at least one offending page/tab. Could some sites be using flash to read from my disk without permission and there is a memory leak in either flash of the code the sites uses? I have searched the web for a task manager like add-on for Firefox tabs that would allow me to determine the offending page/tab/add-on/extension. It seems like a great idea which has not been implemented. Since I am a developer I would be happy to implement, but would like some guidance since my knowledge of your product is only at the user level.
There is currently about:memory page which is being actively developed. A "task manager"of sorts is also in the works AFAIK. If you want to help out, your best bet is to find the applicable bug in Bugzilla. If you have the coding skills I can help get you in touch with a mentor - just let me know.

Firefox freezes or does not go away when closed I need to use window task manager
In Windows 7 Firefox often freezes or will not go away even if I close it.
So far the only way to resolve this issues if it last is to close it with Windows Task Manager.
Which obviously means that if I was frozen I loose any other tab that is openSee http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs and [[Firefox hangs]] (Hang at exit)

I upgraded to firefox 4 and it asked me to restart the system, since then it stopped working. it just won't open. I have windows xp and when I click on the firefox icon I see firefox.exe in the windows task manager under 'processes' I tried ending the task but it wont help. i also tried removing and reinstalling.. didn't help either :( I also checked if Kaspersky might be blocking it but it isn't
The only thing that worked for me was installing an older version (3.6) and it started working fine... I dont even want to try upgrading it to 4 again..

I have been using FF for the last 8 years. Starting from today of July the 16th 2011, I'm going back to IE and say goodbye to FF as long as I'm still getting 20 to 25 plugin containers in my Windows task manager.
I have the "techie" answer for all of you. According to the tier 2 support at Norton Help Desk, the latest live update from Norton "utilizes Visual Studio 2012 which enables SSE2 instructions" and my processor can not handle that.
He said they are "working on a solution" and offered to reply back on Wednesday / Thursday this week if a solution could be found... -

Question
I have installed firefox 3.2.64. When i click on the desktop icon nothing happens. The windows task manager says mozilla firefox is running but I can't see it anywhere. What might the problem be?A possible cause is security software (firewall) that 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 from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Commit in Windows Task Manager
Hello,
We are running an IDES EHP4 system on Windows 2008 R2/SQL Server 2008 R2 in a virtual machine (created with VMWare Player 3.1.3). When we look at the system commit in Windows Task Manager, we see that the commit is limited to 4 GB, despite the fact that the swap space is set to 10 GB (we didn't set this to 20 GB because the system is only installed for demo purposes). We made tests with VM RAM sizes of 1024 and 2048 MB, and each time the commit is limited to 4 GB. Is there a Windows/VMWare/... parameter that limits this usage ?
Kind regards,
ChristopheHello Christophe,
OS, DB and SAP are 64bit in the VM. But the physical host is 32bit.
This is not possible. You cannot run 64 Bit OS on 32 Bit hardware.
I also don't understand what you mean with "commit". You cannot configure more memory than 4 GB for the Virtual Machine?
Kind regards,

Flash Player - Windows 7 - 2 Processes in Windows Task Manager - Slowing performance?
Hello...I was hoping someone could help me fix this issue. I live on my computer for work so this affects me daily and has for many, many, many months. Firefox works great until Flash Player launches and then everything I do in my browser slows down to a speed similar to a turtle in a chess match. When I go into the Windows Task Manager to close the Flash Player process so I can, for example, browse a text-only page or fill out a discussion question form on Adobe's forum page without 5 to 10 second delays between instructions (moving the mouse, clicking on something in the browser, typing etc.), I find not one but two processes in the Windows Task Manager. I assume there should only be 1 process and was wondering if it was something I could fix on my machine somewhere other than doing it 15 times a day using Windows Task Manager to stop the process(es) so my machine will work properly.
I highly suspect it is the Flash Player that causes the issue as every single time I kill the process, my machine works like it is supposed to (fast etc.). As soon as the Flash Player Plugin process(es) starts everything comes to a crawl. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it? I use the latest version of Firefox, the latest version of Flash Player, Windows 7 Professional (latest updates installed), I eat right, get good sleep, give to charity, and love my mom. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help in advance!Hello Chris and Sameer,
thank you for getting back on this issue.
To answer your questions first:
- no, I have not posted this issue in the connect forums - I will do and point to this discussion
- Sameer, I have tested the webcam on the website you pointed out, it is not working with Firefox but it is working in Chrome
I also need to give you an update on the current versions I use:
Win 7 Pro (64bit) (all updates included)
Firefox 21.0
IE 10.0.9200.16576
Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Adobe Connect Addin 11.2 r261
I tested the webcam via FP with Firefox, IE and Chrome in the versions mentioned above. Only in Chrome I can run the WebCam on the www.testwebcam.com website. Once I start the adobe connect meeting and want to start the webcam the Connect Addin stops working with the popup as shown in post 3 of this discussion in all three browsers.
All components have been uninstalled and installed again (except for IE) for testing with no change in the result. I have also rolled back the computer to the system recovery point furthest back in time to see if any other installation might be the cause. But no luck either.
I am happy to post the logs but would need advise where to find these or how to retrieve.
Thanks!
