Firefox does not close when Windows stops

When Windows (in my case: Win XP SP3) stops, it sends a message ("QUERY_UNLOAD" in many programming languages) that active programs can finish their job (e.g. lay on unsaved data), then exit. It seems you developers have reached Firefox v25 and not thought of programming this little piece-> Windows stop - a Firefox open don't give a fuck on the output, you must cancel it via Windows.

It would be nice to have this little programming effort done - finally - thank you.

Firefox may have need of more time to close properly that allows Windows and in the case where Windows is abandonment of Firefox closing process then you given are damaged, then always first close all programs in particular Firefox before close the computer or check if you can make Windows do wait at least 30 seconds or more (you can check in the Task Manager to see how much time Firefox takes to close).

  • VI front panel does not close when it is done executing, when this vi was called by reference.

    I created a simple vi set to indicate the problem I'm having. I run dynamically under vi to leave a main application. Simply the main application is my test exec and the Subvi I call dynamically is different tests. In the example I have write here the criterion vi is called Test electric 1(vi). I configured this electric Test 1 vi to see the front when it is called and close later while initially closed.  Problem is that it doesn't close before.

    Other things to keep in mind

    • I want to be able to run the vi test and do not wait until it is done.

    I'm using LabVIEW 2012 SP1.

    Basically the fence after that call questions only if the VI is called as a Subvi (as if you open you a VI and run it, it does not close when it's done).  Are two ways to work around this or have your app high lvl close the VI when it's done, it's explained here:

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/987B2026B41BD39786256CF800032E8C

    or having your VI close when it's done.  A reference of the VI and the front panel: Close call node.

    I hope this helps.

  • In Outlook Express, when I type in the first letter of an e-mail address that is in my contacts, the dropdown does not close when I click the right address.

    Original title:

    Under XP, when I type in the first letter of an e-mail address that is in my contacts, the dropdown does not close when I click the right address. What a nuisance! Also, when I go to create a new e-mail message, an address of my contacts appears in no particular place, making it impossible to complete the message.

    Hello

    I suggest you turn off Auto complete and then check if you face the same problem.

    a. open Outlook Express.

    b. click on Tools.

    c. click on Options.

    d. click the send tab.

    e. uncheck the e-mail address automatically complete when composing box.

    f. click OK.

    Turn Auto complete and test again to see if the behavior is better. To activate it again, follow the same steps as above, but put a check mark in the box.

  • Firefox does not close completely.

    So since I have updated to the new Firefox it does not completely close when I hit X to close. Then the next time I go to open it it says something like ' Firefox is open but does not close it before trying to open it again. Has not done this before and is getting pretty annoying having to open my task manager everytime I want to open Firefox.

    Is this a new problem with the new update, or something else in conflict?

    In case you use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' and then try to disable this feature.

    • Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "Use the custom settings for history": [] 'clear history of Firefox closing. "

  • Satellite A200 - support Button does not start when windows starts

    Hey,.

    Today, I decided to disable unnecessary programs as many as I could (to speed up my pc), so I went to Msconfig (I have vista home premium 32-bit) and a lot of things off. Including the "toshiba button support. The next time I restarted my additional buttons on the top of the keyboard all worked, next to one. Who normally turn on windows media player. This time, he did nothing at all. Game/resume, stop, forward, back and button internet all worked without problem.
    However, I really liked the WMP button, so I tried to find out what the problem was. I discovered that it was the support of the key, so I decided to reactivate it.

    However, this didn't not help: (.) I turned it in msconfig, but it does not start with windows more: (.) I know this is the program that I need, because when I run the program manually (this is the program: programfiles/toshiba/TBS/HSON.exe) the button works.
    I put a V in front of the msconfig program, but it does not work. Anyone has an idea why not?

    Edit: I found a solution, even if not the best. If anyone still has the same problem:
    I made a shortcut for the program to run (can be found in C:programfiles/toshiba/SCT and is called HSON.exe). Then I clicked start and said 'all programs', here I chose the "opstarten" folder, it comes to the Dutch version, but my guess is it's called something like 'start-up' in English. In this regard, I glued (copy / cut-> paste) the shortcut to the program, and now he begins again :)

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. You should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This determines media keys FN and all special functions on the laptop buttons.

  • 29RC1 Firefox does not start when the update service enabled.

    W8.1 update 1 running. I installed FF29RC1 that works without problem, however when I close FF I can't repeat it because it says its already running. When I stop the service of FF in the Task Manager, turn off the update in the FF options, it works wihthout no problem and I can start FF whenever I want without any problem.

    29,0 Firefox has been released, so no need to install a release candidate.

    You can find the full version of the current version of Firefox 29,0 in all languages and for all systems operating here:

    Have you checked in the system monitor if there is still a running Firefox process?

    Did you install Firefox in your user account (~ or/Home / < user >) or in a place that requires root for write access privileges?

  • Simulator does not close in Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello

    When I run a simulator in Windows 7 64 bit I can't close without go into the Task Manager and kill the process. When I close the Simulator with the X key, just of freezes and does not respond. I tried the instructions on these forums for setting up the eclipse of Java plug-in on Windows 7 64 bit, but it did not remedy the problem.

    My solution is now a batch file to kill the process with a single click.

    Taskkill /f /im "fledge.exe."

    I put it in the quick launch that I had to do some fiddling to get back in Windows 7. Here are some instructions to find the QuickLaunch: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/888-quick-launch-enable-disable.html?ltr=Q.

    Is there a way to fix this Simulator without killing the process?

    It is a known issue and the only other way is to press 'Disconnect' in the Debug perspective, but actually, he did the same thing as closing the process (it could be a bit more secure, not sure).

  • Firefox does not open on Windows 10 no matter what I try. Is there something that can solve this problem?

    I tried to contact support Windows 10 and they were useless. It was working fine all day and does not open all of a sudden.

    This sounds like a file in your Firefox profile may be damaged or not valid. To check if this is the case, you will need to create a secondary Firefox profile and test to see if you can open Firefox with this profile.

    This can be done using the Manager of profiles for Firefox which can be downloaded from Mozilla's FTP server. There is no installation required, the program is contained in a ZIP file. Simply extract the ZIP file and run the executable file inside.

    How to create a second profile Firefox, please see this support article:

    Note: Do not delete the old profile because if it is damaged, you may be able to recover your bookmarks and settings. For more information on how to proceed, please read the article of the recovery of data from an old profile .

  • Why Firefox does not respond when I open it? It breaks down until I can change or delete my profile

    Fortunately, I have used Firefox for about a year. Today, it could not open one or more of my four home page web sites.
