  Hi Armycyrus,

  Have you done a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

  Method 1:

  If iTunes is installed on the system, you can try to uninstall and reinstall the same and check if it helps:

• How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone must enter the password before running firefox

  My younger sister run my firefox just to this afternoon (she origin use IE), and she saw something that is not visible. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone must enter the password before running firefox?

  Another option is the master password + extension.

  You must first make sure that Firefox uses a master password, for more details on how to do that see use a master password to protect stored logins and passwords. Then with the master password + extension in its options, go to the getting started section and make sure that "ask for password at startup" and "Exit if cancelled" is selected both.

  As with all extensions, this protection is quite weak and can be bypassed if start you Firefox in safe mode that disables extensions.

• CLEANMGR. EXE to almost 100% of the CPU

  I opened the disk cleaned but it kept running after several minutes so I closed it.  Now CLEANMGR. EXE process is running close to 100% of the CPU.  The hard disk is not full.  I want to stop this process.

  Select Ctrl + Alt + Delete to bring up the Task Manager. Click on the Applications tab, place the curson disk cleanup (CLEANMGR. (EXE) and end task. You may need to show patience, but it will end the task. The task will be probanly ended in all cases at the time you read this message, but it's the solution for the next time.

  The behaviiour by the disk cleanup tool may be because it had not been run for a long time. Not only it removes unwanted temporary files but also compresses the recently accessed files. This is a known problem with disk cleanup it may take some time to evaluate the space gained by compressing the files.

• Firefox.exe stop of 30% of the time, it closes in Manager tasks.

  I tried:
  Extensions and blocking addons
  Firefox running in safe mode
  Uninstall and reinstall firefox
  None of the mentioned works

  Problem lasts since the last update
  Firefox 29.0.1, Windows7.

  Any suggestions please?

  From what I've read other posts on this forum, the question may
  be caused by the settings to erase history.

  Press the < Alt Key > to display the toolbar. Then Tools > Options > privacy.
  The button next to the historic, select use custom settings.

  At the bottom of the page, turn clear history when Firefox closes.
  At the extreme right, press the settings button. Activate ONLY the Cache and
  Form history and search for without touching the others turned off.

• Process creates the CPU to overheat and the Fans to run like crazy:

  I am ripping DVDs on different Macbook cradle fully aware that it's requiring treatment.

  The 2011 with 16 GB of ram and hard disk SSD, the process runs on 330% of the processor, blasting the ability and heat

  revolves around 100 c/213 F.

  Interesting enough the same process on 2 late Mo Pro 2008 with less ram do not overheat in the extraction process. The program are identical on all the Pros of 3 MB. The processes are the same, but on the old MBpros the processor load is between 130-150% up to more heating is not that great a problem.

  But the MBPro of 2011 with top material tearing overheating of the processor and fans running at full speed.

  I noticed that too much work with other programs or is running only a few programs at the same time seem to heat from the processor and the fans make some noise + cpu run hot with my MBpro 2011 and El Capitan.

  It is possible to restrict a program that use a large part of the resources to avoid overheating?

  Other solutions?

  Well a Late 2008 Macbook Pro has a intel core 2 duo, so the max he could run is 200% (2 CPUs time 100%) if the application can do enough on 2 processors in parallel.

  Your 2011 Macbook Pro has very probably a 4 core CPU intel i7 with hyper-threading.  If an application can use hyper-fils, there is a potential of 800% max.  The 330% could just be that the DVD cannot keep up with the CPU, so it does not hit its maximum potential because of the famine of data.

  I don't know if the speed of the DVD drive in 2008 was the same as the 2011.  If the 2011 is able to read data more quickly than the 2008, then it can provide given the CPU faster, keep the much busier CPU so it can consume more power, and more power consumption more than the heat generated.

  MacBook pro 2011 ends a DVD in less time than the 2008?

  Basically, you are trying to compare 'Granny Smith' vs 'Golden Delicious' apples and expects the same taste.

  Regarding the other programs, put this SSD in your Macbook Pro means that any code or data that the application needs to get the disc are convinced order or magnitude faster, so that the application did not slow the CPU and keep crank, causing the CPU to keep them busy and thus attract more power, which is converted into heat causing fans to run.

  It is also possible that your SSD generates more heat.  Solid State does not always mean longer running costs.  Much would depend on the brand and the model of the SSD and it is the power profile, and it draws more power for writing vs readings, and how much nature more expensive power you're done.

  Information point.  I put an SSD in my 2009 27 "iMac and it works more hot because my iMac can do more in less time.  I put an SSD in my Macbook Pro 2011 and if I ask him to do a lot of work, like backups, it starts its fans, as the SSD is always quick to provide data for backup, there is no waiting for the discs, leaving the lower idle CPU.

• When I ask Firefox to get whatever it is, the answer is provided by Google, why, even if Firefox is my default browser?

  Firefox is my default browser, but the answers to any question search provided by Google.

  Mozilla never has not its own search site as a research site for example bing.com, google.com, yahoo.com etc.

  You can choose one of the search engines by default that comes in the search bar or you can add another site to say http://mycroftproject.com/

  It seems that if you do not use en Firefox as otherwise you would get from search results to Yahoo rather default since Firefox 34.0

  Did you expect from a url of mozilla.org results?

• I am sent updates to Firefox, but when I try to install them, they run and run and never download.

  I regularly receive updates. When I click on the button to download the update, the program runs continuously without having to download. By clicking on the button "Hide" does not work.

  Hi richardelfers

  If there is a problem with the update or permit the best and safest is to download and install firefox:

  1. download a copy of the latest http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html firefox

  2. Trash , install the current application of Firefox to do a cleaning.

  3. install the version you downloaded.

  Do not select to delete your personal data, your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
