Work around technique for imcompatibility issues between Firefox 6.0 and Avast Free Antivirus 6.0, esp "Unresponsive Scripts."

I am using Firefox 6.0, Avast Free Anti-Virus 6.0 and Windows XP.
I am experiencing slow/freezing web browsing after a recent upgrade to Firefox 6.0. Not all but on most occasions, I also get a warning from Avast of an "unresponsive script." I suspect there is a compatibility issue between these versions of Firefox and Avast--are they any short and/or long term solutions to this. I suppose I can disable the Script Blocker on Avast but that would defeat the purpose of having an anti-virus program.
Many thanks in advance.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Are there any compatibility issues between Firefox 6-beta and Norton internet security?

    I received a warning before installing it that Firefox 6-beta is incompatible with the Norton toolbar - does this imply any deeper compatibility problems with Norton?

    That "test" only implies a number is incorrect in the add-on, nothing more should be read into that message.
    Norton, and many other security software vendors, don't usually support pre-release Beta version web browsers. Firefox only checks the '''maxVersion''' specified in the install.rdf file for the extension that is installed in Firefox, which is a very minor point as far as "compatibility" goes, and that is "set" by the developer of the add-on. The burden for true compatibility is on the developer.

  • Any work around ideas for getting more room on my mac air

    Hi.  I have an older mac air which really has minimal room left on it.  I am going to a photo workshop and would like to be able to upload and edit my images on it but know after 1 day of shooting in raw I will max out the computer.  Is there a way to do a work around with an external?  I edit with lightroom and will likely shoot at least 2500 images at 25 mpx each, thats alot of data. There is nothing I can remove on the air to free up space.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Julien

    Thank you all.  Sounds like i might as well buy a new (mac OS supported) external hard drive.  Not worth the hassle/risk of taking all the old files off my current external HD. 
    Really appreciate all your help!

  • Work around / fix for making a list of drop down boxes

    Dear experts,
    When lists are created, its cells act like top-level views. Because of this, everything attempting to go past the border of the list item is clipped. This is a problem when making a list of drop down boxes. Is there a known work around for this or maybe a fix?
    Regards,
    Olivier

    thank you saish, moving 'the artists are' helps visually, as for the fix, i really needed to store it in an arrayList, resultSets aren't very happy about being manipulated!
    here's the fix:
    writer.println("<select name=\"userList\" size=\"1\">");
    ArrayList a = new ArrayList();
    ResultSet r=null;
    // this is just my way of accessing the database and the correct method with the artist names in it
    r = factory.getCustomersDAO().get_Artist_Names_Only();
    while(r.next())
    // retrieve artist names as String variables
    String artist = r.getString("artist_name");
    // add to ArrayList
    a.add(artist);
    for(int i=0; i<a.size(); i++)
    Object art = a.get(i);
    art = (String)art;
    writer.println("<OPTION VALUE=\"" +art+ "\">" art "</OPTION>");
    writer.println("<tr><td colspan = \"2\"><h2>Enter Artist Name to be booked: </h2></tr></td>");
    writer.println("</SELECT></TD></TR>");
    thanks again, i've got another problem now that i'm just about to post about, how to register when one particular cell in a html table has had its link clicked!

  • Techniques for changing shots between two different angles

    What is a good technique to use to switch between wide angle (v1) and closeup (v2) when building a sequence such as:
    1) building a new sequence on v1 from material cut from v1 & v2
    2) superimposing and changing the opacity for different clips on the timeline
    I am fairly new to FCE and would appreciate some guidance.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Put you main shot on V1 and the close up one on V2. Use razor blade on clip on V2 and the roll tool.

  • Timestamp issues between mysql 5.0 and 5.1

    Slightly off the dreamweaver trail here - but that's what I'm using (CS3)....here's hoping someone knows what the issue is here?
    I've created some 'closing soon' and an 'expired' label for some ads I'm running, the php code is below.
    <?php
              // get the current timestamp
      $now = time();
      // get the number of seconds in seven days
      $sevendays = 60*60*24*7;
      // get the expiry date
      $expires = $row_listJobs['job_service_expiry_date'];
      if ($expires < $now) {
        // display the expired image
    echo '<img src="../../images/buttons_labels/expired.gif" alt="expired job" />';
      } elseif ($now + $sevendays > $expires) {
        // display final week image
    echo '<img src="../../images/buttons_labels/closingsoon.gif" alt="job closing soon" />';
        ?>
    This works absolutely fine when using a Recordset with a UNIX_TIMESTAMP in it, and going into the background the 'job_service_expiry_date' field in mysql5.1.30 using php5.2.8 provides a 'Default' parameter whereby I can set the Default 'as defined' followed by 0000-00-00 00:00:00.  There is another date field for job posted - but this is just an ordinary date stamp. None of the fields are set up with current timestamps as I want to be able to update records with dates in the future.
    The problem arises specifically with uploading this to my server (hey it's 1&1 shared host, so things are a little restricted).  I'm running mysql5.0.67 with php5.2.9 here and the timezone is set to Europe/Berlin. (I'm in the UK).  Looking at the background everything is the same EXCEPT for the ability to set the 'Default, as defined etc'.  So, all the options I'm left with is to set it as a TIMESTAMP with Default 0000-00-00 00:00:00.
    Here's the issue. On browsing the relevant page I'm now presented with an error "Function xnameofdatabasex UNIX_TIMESTAMP does not exist" and the page won't load.  This didn't happen during local testing; the page displayed fine, and the php code worked perfectly.
    Has anyone else come across this problem and found a way around it?
    Could it be the difference in the mysql server versions that is causing the issue?? In which case any pointers on how to amend the fields, SQL query or the php code so that it does work would be really appreciated.  Could it work, for example, by setting the posting date as current timestamp and then the expiry date as just a date, with the php code set to display images depending on days ahead of the posted date eg closing soon +25 days, and expired >30 days for example......need help with this as I'm no php expert!
    I can add lines to the .htaccess files, but I've tried adding php_value date.timezone 'Europe/London' to it, but get a 500 error.  My thinking here was that perhaps it was the timezone difference confusing the php?....but I'm not sure.
    Incidently, any ideas on how to set the timezone through .htaccess without getting a 500 error (and within a dreamweaver CS3 environment) would also be welcomed.
    Thanks in advance
    Matt

    Thanks David
    I tried adding that line to .htaccess, but received the 500 internal server error when trying to access the site.  I've added the other line for the time being -hopefully that works!
    The SQL looks like this:
    SELECT jobs.job_id, jobs.client_id, jobs.category_id, LEFT(jobs.job_longdesc, 200) AS first200,
    jobs.job_imagemini, jobs.job_salary, jobs.job_location, jobs.job_country, jobs.job_title,
    jobs.job_posted_date, categories.category_id, categories.category_name,
    clients.client_id, UNIX_TIMESTAMP (jobs.job_service_expiry_date) AS job_service_expiry_date,
    jobs.job_featured
    FROM jobs, categories, clients
    WHERE jobs.client_id = clients.client_id AND jobs.category_id = categories.category_id AND jobs.job_longdesc LIKE %var1% AND jobs.job_country LIKE %var2% AND jobs.job_title LIKE %var3%
    ORDER BY jobs.job_featured ASC, jobs.job_posted_date DESC, jobs.job_title

  • Many communication issues between Photoshop CC 2014 and Bridge since update

    Since I upgraded Photoshop to the CC 2014 version, I've had many issues on using Ps and Bridge together.  Here they are:
    1. Mini Bridge is absent
    2. When clicking to "Browse in Bridge" from Photoshop, the window for my Creative Cloud app opens instead with a message asking whether I am sure if I want to update to "this version of Bridge" (image below). I already updated Bridge and re-installed it, but the same problem keeps occurring.
    3. This one is the most frustrating one: the tools menu in Bridge does not show the options for opening images in Photoshop anymore.  This was invaluable when working with Bridge and Photoshop at the same time.
    The thing is that these issues have been going on for a long, long time, and I don't see any messages from Adobe to at least explain the reason for such blunders.  There are many people complaining of the same issues here in this forum, so how come no fixes, no responses from Adobe yet?
    Please let me know if you've found a fix for this.
    Many thanks!

    I do not use the bridge often mostly just use it to edit metadata.  I never remember tools being available in the right click on thumbnails menu list. Tools a bridge menu in its manu bar when all start-up scripts are enabled Photoshop should be in it.. If the start-up scripts are not enable you must enable them and then restart the Bridge for them to be available. My Bridge CC tools menu after being updated for CC 2014 has the same tools menu option Photoshop with 8 items. Are you writing you no longer have a Bridge CC tools menu with Photoshop and the 8 options?  I use windows and though I use Adobe Bridge CC 64 bit version the startup script folder that seems to be used for Adobe Bridge CC 64 bit is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge" Program File (x86) don't know why and in there there should be a file "bridge-6.jsx"  I also see a "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge" with the same file in it however Adobe Bridge CC 64Bit seems to use the Programs Files (x86) path for when I put my startup script for X's Image Processor Pro into the Programs Files path Bridge CC 64bit did not list it as an available startup script. Adobe software is far from being bug free.  I have no idea where startup bridge scripts reside your Mac use finder to make sure there is a  "bridge-6.jsx"  startup script...

  • Weird issues between iPhone Camera Roll and iPhoto?!?!?

    I just noticed when opening Photos and then my Camera Roll of pics taken with my 3G that there is a large black irregular shape area covering the top 2 rows of pics and part of the third row as well. I have exited and returned to the app, shut down and restarted my iPhone and no change. If I tap in the black area (don't know what I'm tapping) it will bring up whatever photo is actually there, but there is no way to see it in the thumbnail preview screen because of the black overlay. If I connect the iPhone to my Macbook and open iPhoto, it seems to see that there are photos in my Camera Roll, but they are all blank and iPhoto thinks there are 32 photos there but there is not that many because I have deleted some of them :-O Clicking on a blank photo does not bring up the actual photo, just nothing happens.
    So, to try and remedy this I manually deleted all the photos from my Camera Roll on the iPhone, so there were NO PHOTOS in the Camera Roll and then did a sync with my MacBook. iPhoto still thinks there are 32 photos and they are all blank placeholders like before! I tried to "import all" just to see what would happen and 4 were readable and the rest were "unreadable files". I said to delete all the photos after importing but it still lists 32 photos there. Even when the iPhone is disconnected, the iPhone icon stays in iPhoto and I have to manually unmount it. So, there is total disconnect between what is actually on my Camera Roll on the iPhone and what is being seen by iPhoto. It's as though iPhoto is stuck in a particular point in time and can't get rid of some cache or memory of a previous iPhone Camera Roll state. Before updating to OS 3.0, whenever I unplugged the iPhone after a sync, the icon would disappear as a mounted drive in iPhoto so that has changed as well.
    I have no idea where to even begin trying to fix this problem. I'm using iPhoto 7.1.5 and not sure whether this is an iPhoto problem or iPhone problem or both?!?! Any feedback would be extremely appreciated!

    I'm having a similar issues. Every program on my Mac that is capable of acquiring images from a digital camera (iPhoto, Graphics Converter, Image Capture, etc.) thinks that my iPhone is mounted and that there are 77 pictures to download. It doesn't matter whether the phone is actually connected to the computer or not. I've even restored the iPhone to the factory state and it makes no difference. Thus, I believe the problem to be on the Mac itself. I don't know the details on how it works (could anyone enlighten me?) but I'm very surprised that multiple programs are having the same issue. Obviously, there is some layer that is between the actual device and the programs that use the device. That layer must be corrupted. But what is it, where is it, and how can I fix it?

  • Compatibiity issues between Microsoft Office 2013 and Epsom Workforce 1100 Wide Format Printer

    I just purchased a new Pavilion 23 HP computer with Windows 8 Operating System and Office 2013. I bought an Epson Workforce 1100 Wide Format printer several years ago. Upon installing it on my new computer, I noticed it was for operating systems from 2000
    to 7 and did not include Windows 8. I downloaded the recommended driver for Windows 8. My computer recognizes the printer and will print pictures, web-articles, etc. but will not print any text from any of the Office 2013 documents. Can you help me?

    Hi,
    I have a couple of questions about the issue:
    1. Did the print task show in the status bar when you use Office2013 to print?
    2. Did you try to print by using the Notepad?
    3. Did you get some error messages?
    If we cloud not print from the Notepad, it seems a
    compatibility issues between Windows8 and print driver. I recommend you post the issue to Windows 8 forum or connect Epson support. 
    Then，we also cloud upgrade all the latest Windows 8 and Office 2013 patches to test.

  • Any known 'porting' issues between 8.2.2 and 9.0 ??

    Hi all,
    we are in the process of evaluating LS ES2 (9.0) and would like to know if there are any 'porting' issues between the two versions.   Asked another way, are there any issues in deploying a 8.2.2. LCA onto 9.0 ?
    Dan

    8.2 LCA's will run fine in 9.0 if they are just deployed into it.  But in 9.0 a new application model has been introduced, so in order to make changes to anything after you've migrated it you'll need to create an application and migrate your processes and resources into it.  You may want to take a look at the Leveraging Legacy Solution document available online.  Here's the link:  http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm?content=leveragingLegacy. html .

  • Define main objects for Drag & Relate between BW 3.1 and EP6

    hi all.
    We are trying to implement Drag & Relate between BW 3.1 and EP6.
    We have 2 different BW reports based on the same object "0MATERIAL". One of them should be a source and the other is the target. When creating the iViews for these reports the "main object" property has no values, therefor we don't see any symbol near the object we want to drag. The import of the "0MATERIAL" object from BW to the portal was successful.
    Is it related to customizing the BW system or the portal?
    thanks,
    Sagi

    I solved the problem - I added the BW alias before the main object name in the main object property. For example "BW.0MATERIAL" when BW is the BW system alias and 0MATERIAL is the object name.

  • How can I resolve bluetooth connectivity issues between my iPhone 4S and my car?

    My iPhone contantly unpairs from my car's bluetooth while I'm on a call.  The phone is still working and I can continue the conversation if I hold it, but that is illegal in New Jersey.  I have tried re-setting the iPhone, and re-pairing it with the car's bluetooth, but nothing has worked.  My car (Lexus 350RX, 2012) is up to date with firmware.  My daughter has the same issue with her iPhone 4S and her Honda Pilot.  I may have to get a Samsum Galaxy if this issue is not resolved.

    either export it as a pdf if you dont need to work in it or if you do use an app called numbers from apple it supports excel as far as i know
