Firefox crashes when I press the button clear cache. Please tell me how to fix this. Thanks in advance.

Firefox uses a lot of memory and slows down considerably. I tried to clear the cache, but this browser caused from freezing. I rebooted, rebooted and upgraded to 5.0 with no improvement. Please notify.

I have Firefox 6.0 running on Vista.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the subprogramme which 'clears the cache', et al, has a incomplete, incorrect disposal problem, "in use" or "infinite loop" elements, such that it crashes when you try to do.

After a few tries, I found that the best way to solve this problem is to do the following (it is easier than it sounds):

(1) close all tabs of Firefox and Firefox windows

(2) lance the Task Manager and stop all processes "Firefox" (i.e., it is possible that more than one may be running, even if you did all of the step (1)).

(3) go to the folder Firefox cache, usually located in < system drive > \Users\ < your personal folder named > < something > \AppData*\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\. default\Cache and destroy everything that appears under this directory (n. b., you should not require administrative level to do this, if so, try to do this in 'Safe' Mode). {* AppData may be a "hidden" folder}

(4) start Firefox, select Tools-> Options->
Advanced-> network-> clear now.

(5) close Firefox.

(6) restart Firefox.

Firefox ran faster after that I did.

Good luck!

    Cor - el will no doubt come with suggestions. I will list the accident report Details incase they help someone. The accident occurred when a component associated Windows is in use. Have you ensured you have no background task running, and no unnecessary plugins Firefox are running.

    No reason to expect to be directly related, but a previous incident with the same signature took place when bookmarks were used, and the solution in this instance was:

    I found out that an option in Microsoft File Explorer caused the crash.
    To solve this:
    - Go to "Organize"
    - Choose "Folder and search options"
    - uncheck "Automatically expand to current folder"
    
     Now Firefox won't crash again!

  • My policy changed completely after the last update of Firefox. It's a little smaller, less fat and much less clear. Please tell me how to solve this problem.

    The default font used on sites like Facebook, Craigslist, Google etc. has become much worse since the last update. It is much less clear, looks almost like a chop and transparent. As if the part of the letters missing. Less "BOLD" and a little bit more smaller institutions. I would like to go back to the way in which the police used to look like, the way it does in Internet Explorer and Chrome.

    Hi miked91, this is probably caused by kb3013455 of update from microsoft that can cause problems of rendering fonts on vista:

    After you have installed the 3013455 security update, you may notice a degradation in quality of text in some scenarios. The problem occurs only on systems running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.

    Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455

    an option may be to tackle this particular update for now until there is a fix from microsoft or you could also look at if there is a graphics driver update available on the Web site of the seller (intel/amd/nvidia) which could also be solved this problem in some cases.

    The keyboard appears on the screen when I press the button, but it will not disappear when I press again.

  • Dashboard does not appear when you press the button on the dashboard

    I just got my board replaced on my MacBook Pro.  Before it was replaced, when I pressed the button with the dashboard icon (F4), it is toggled between my widgets that have been opened in the dashboard and the window, in that I was working.  Now, after you set up the Mission control to show the dashboard with the key to the dashboard, I see the dock (which I choose to hide) and all my apps icons.  I then have to click on the application of the dashboard to show my widgets.  How to reset the key so that it only shows the widgets when I press on it?

  • How to save the data to the new file, when you press the button

    Hello.

    Run a program that reads data recorders seconds and displays a trace on the screen.

    What I want, is that when I press a button, the program will ask for a file name and begins to record data to the file, and continues to do this as long as the button is pressed.

    When I press the button again, the program asks the name of the file again, so I can select a new file to write.

    I've included a simplified version of my program that works by asking the file name at the beginning.

    How can I change the program it starts a new file every time that the key again.

    Kai,

    I changed the example that I gave you to LV8.0, but I have never used the option 'Save for the previous version' before, so I don't know if it will work.

    I have combined the start and stop of recording in a single button (just change the text to all what you need) and I used the 'value' property to pass the path between cases. The path can be formatted as you have in your version, don't forget to use the string conversion function filepath.

    Just in case where it doesn't work on your version of LV I've attached a screenshot of the block diagram.

    Hope this helps, let me know if you have more problems with this.

    Easy.

    Darren.

    OK, I re-read your question. It's actually expected behavior. The user must manually send the email.

    If you want it to be a silent process, then you must either install a script on the local computer of the user who will do this, or use any email but something as a service web to which you directly submit the form data.
