• Firefox crashes when you open no matter what context menu - Save as download window, window options, etc.

  This is the third time I had this problem with firefox...

  Firefox crashes when you try to upload images, files, etc. right click context menu opens (with bookmark, save the page, save the image, options etc) but after selecting an option, save the image or another, the real save as dialog box does not open and firefox crashes.

  say many pages open the download and clear history... I can't do that, trying to open the download hangs there, too. like, trying to open any what other dialogues.

  the first time that this has happened, the only solution I could find was a total wipe and re-install (simple uninstall/reinstall didn't work... it had to be weeded manually in the registry).
  the second time that I got just to rebuild my system, so I just do a fresh install on a fresh OS.

  This time I can't seem to solve the problem of uninstalling and re - install...

  Help?

  discovered what he was doing!

  After trying safe mode of firefox and safe mode of windows and any number of other things I gave a little upward for a bit there, but I woke up from a dream in the middle of the night thinking ' based on the conduct in question, it * must * be something in the shell that is the cause. " (Sorry, I dream of geek).

  so I grabbed a shell viewer editor - ShelleExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) (had to use a yucky, any browser to download) and gave him a race.

  I have listed all the extensions of the date they were added as a clsid and trying of think back to when the problem started... about a month or so, after a new system, reinstall. and through a little trial and error disabling, I found the culprit.

  It is an overlay Manager icon set by what is called WagerLogic. After looking into the company's name, I have to assume this was related to one of the annoying "just lost real money on our virtual casino" pop-ups that infest the net nefariously scenic for an easy mark as orphaned Dickens.

  I disabled it and voila! Firefox is still in full function.

• I get the context menu after using firfox as my browser: Exc in ev handl: error: Bad NPObject as private data!

  In the last few days I've been doing the following popup when I use firefox as my browser: Exc in ev handl: error: Bad NPObject as private data!

  I guess it comes from your last update. I have windows vista with a 64-bit processor, and I use the latest version of firefox. I checked to see if I was getting the same error message with explore and I'm not. It seems to be some sort of conflict with java script. This can be corrected?

  You have to remove and re - install anything. I had the same problem and simply disabled the McAfee Siteadvisor module without deleting. I then restarted Firefox and the problem was solved.

  But here's the important part: I reactivated the add-on and then restarted Firefox twice. The problem is not returned!

  Just so disable, reboot, re-enable and restart. It worked for me!

• Firefox always displays all the possible options in the context menu

  When I select some text on a web site and right-click, I get a popup menu with about 50 options.

  Some earlier, archived posts have addressed one of the causes of this - extensions - but disable my extensions and restarting did not work for me. I always get the context menu options-50.

• Context menu does not not in Firefox

  Recently (I think that when I installed the version 9.0.1), when I right click on some items, I don't get the context menu that I used to get. I only get the context menu of browser.

  I notice it more frequently on Web sites companies because it's when I try to use the context menu more.

  Ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

• I have Windows XP and my PC gets slower and slower

  I have Windows XP and my PC gets slower and slower

  Well, if you have a slow computer experience, it is a serious performance problem.

  There may be several reasons for the performance decline computer day after day, most common are the following:
  -Inadequate system or RAM, memory
  -Too many unnecessary things and fragmented in the computer files
  -Programs that run in the background and consuming system resources
  -Activity, virus, Spyware and Malware
  -Several Antivirus running in the system

  I guess if your computer worked well at the beginning means that you have good amount of system memory or RAM memory, but it is recommended to increase. Otherwise, you can do away with the increase in the virtual memory or paging file.
  Right click on my computer go Properties. In the System Properties window go to the Advanced tab.
  Now, click on the settings buttons in Performance. The Performance Options window click on the Advanced tab again and you will see the virtual memory down. Click on change. Now, you can keep it managed system or Custom. If you use the custom, then make sure that the initial size is 1.5 times the physical memory is actual and the maximum size is 3 x times.
  Then apply and close all windows and restart the computer, note any change in performance.

  To clean all the unwanted files just use the disk cleanup utility, it will clean up all unwanted computer junk files. Then you can go ahead and use Disk Defragmenter to defragment all the files fragmented in the c: Drive.

  Prevention of the execution of unwanted programs must be done with caution. Sometimes programs load automatically whenever the computer is turned on these programs to continue to run in the background and consume system resources. The best thing to do is to stop them from loading automatically. Click START and then click RUN. RUN window opens upward, in the type of window run msconfig, system configuration window opens. Click on the last tab that says startup. You will see the list and most of them will have a check. First of all to uncheck all the, then control selectively the most important like your Antivirus, Internet connection, modem, another important application driver tool that may be necessary. You can hardly but understand that those check must sound familiar to you. Apply and then restart the computer. When the computer restarts, you will see a prompt that saya that you have used the System Configuration utility. Simple uncheck the box at the bottom and click OK. Notice the change in system performance.

  If you run more thn an Antivirus, make sure you uninstall one. Since then, most of the antiviruses have a real-time scanner or resident shield that consumes some system resources, using several will cause more consumption of system resources. Subsequently, slow down the computer.

  If all of the above does little to improve the performance of the Virus issue might have to be declared. However, let me know and we'll do something if it's a virus problem.

• Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL.

  Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL. I tried to remove anything that is related to AOL and when restart Firefox... There are once again AOL. I even reinstalled Firefox... He was there again.

  Where AOL is displayed - homepage?

  I think the first thing to check is if you have any modules related to AOL. These can replace your regular settings. You can view and disable all extensions essential or unknown here:

  Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

  Note that in most cases, you should use the link to restart Firefox to actually disable the extension that you have chosen to disable.

  Then, to fix your homepage, try the procedure described in this article: How to set the home page.

  If there is a problem with your suppliers of research from Google for AOL, try this extension:

• Interpret the images to get slow mo vs speed setting in the timeline

  I shot a bunch of video for a 'live' style music video I put together. This will be my first of those, so it's a little experience. I shot it at 60 fps (59.94) with the intention of the final product being a video of 30 frames per second or maybe even 24 fps, but with all these additional images to create some nice slow mo here and there. The problem is that a lot of it has been saved just all at once, so there may be parts of a clip I want at regular speed and in the same clip I want to be slow. I might want to same ramp from one speed to another, but that's another question.

  I know two ways to get slow mo:

  (1) interpret images such as 29.97 or 23.9something to get the slower speed

  (2) changing the speed in the timeline panel

  Is there a difference between the two methods? The first is more pain because it means I have to reproduce each of the clips if I want to use two clips of normal and slow speed. But if the other is using an interpolation rather than the actual recorded frames, then I would rather have the hassle of the first method. If it is not, however, does mean that I can safely use keyframes to ramp from one speed to the other? Thank you!

  It there is a difference between the two.  Interpretation to match the settings of the sequence will show all images, no interpolation.  These are the best results you can get.

  In setting sequence at any frame rate, not corresponding to the sequence will show interpolation, and which includes speed bumps.  In the past these results were not as good, but with the addition of optical flow, that difference in large part has been reduced to nothing.

  My advice would be to test you each method, make observations, and then you will know which is best for a given element.

  Help!

  Hello

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  Thank you.

  Do you mean on your Android device? Firefox for Android uses a menu drop down, or if the device has a menu button next to the home button, it uses this "hardware" button I don't think that it is possible to add a menu bar of Firefox for Android.

  If you meant on Windows:

  You can use one of the following methods to display the toolbar list and activate the menu bar it:

  • Right click on a place empty on the tab bar (or the button '+')
  • Press the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > view > toolbars
  • in customize mode > show/hide toolbars (see: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars)

  To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

  Who help me?

  If your Firefox does not display the toolbars, or don't shows them that when you drag the mouse to the top of the screen, try the key F11 to exit full screen mode. (The F11 key also puts you in the view full screen to the normal display mode.)

• I use Firefox for a kiosk application. Can I disable the context menu and zoom?

  I use Firefox for an application kiosk on a touch screen monitor. I will prevent users from interacting with the browser interface. Is there a way to do this? Disable the context menu and zoom for the touch gestures could prevent users from getting into a State where they are unable to use the application.

  Hi TrevorTubbs, you can disable the zoom in the browser with the method described in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences & locking these preferences:

  lockPref("toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues"; "1");
  lockPref("zoom.maxPercent"; 100);
  lockPref("zoom.minPercent"; 100);
  

  I'm not sure if disabling the context menu...
