Firefox hangs at startup, or starts a process but does not open the browser.

In the last few days, Firefox has had many problems.

When I open it, the window hangs and crashes after a few seconds, if it opens at all. Other times, trying to open Firefox simply won't open the window, but will leave an additional process running in the background that I have to manually shut down via the Task Manager.

I did a fresh profile. I restarted Firefox. Already got hardware acceleration checked and disabled. still having the same problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox several times. I ran a scan of my system with Malwarebytes; nothing detected. It is not even a newspaper of the accident. I looked through the support forums, found people with problems similar to mine, but no solution posted for them for some time last month.

Firefox seems to operate normally if a version 21 installation, which opens toward the top of the browser window. Everything works fine, until I got close the browser and then reopen it.

Just out of curiosity, this behavior (suspended the launch after a Windows Update) would be a registry problem? If so how could we check?

Hmm. I think it's nice that my post is a chosen Solution. Now, if someone could just tell me what is the solution... :))

  • ORA-26744: STREAMS capture process "STRING" does not support the "STRING".

    Hi all

    I set up the flow of the oracle to help noted "How to configure one-way replication of SCHEMA [ID 301431.1] level flow" at the level of the schema

    All changes translate perfectly and was running smooth, but today, all of a sudden I faced the error and the capture below is abandoned

    ORA-26744: capture FLOW process 'STREAM_CAPTURE' does not support the "AMSATMS_PAWS". "' B_SEARCH_PREFERENCE ' for the following reason:
    ORA-26783: unsupported data type column

    Some suggestions on the forum are to add a negative ruleset, please suggest me how can I add a set of rules negative and if it is added to the ruleset negative then how will contribute to reflect changes made to this table in the target database...?

    Please help me...

    Thank you

    I have no clue why she treats your XMLTYPE stored as a CLOB as a binary XMLTYPE. The doc, we read:

    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b28321/ap_restrictions.htm#BABGIFEA

    Unsupported Data Types for Capture Processes
    
    A capture process does not capture the results of DML changes to columns of the following data types:
    
        *       SecureFile CLOB, NCLOB, and BLOB
        *      BFILE
        *      ROWID
        *      User-defined types (including object types, REFs, varrays, and nested tables)
        *      XMLType stored object relationally or as binary XML                   <----------------------------
        *      The following Oracle-supplied types: Any types, URI types, spatial types, and media types
    
    A capture process raises an error if it tries to create a row LCR for a DML change to a column of
    an unsupported data type. When a capture process raises an error, it writes the LCR that caused
    the error into its trace file, raises an ORA-26744 error, and becomes disabled. 
    

    For your support

    NOTE: 556742.1 -extended data type of support (EDS) to a stream

    to exclude the table:

    I have reset the PRAM

    It will start up in target Mode, so I was able to recover data

    In target Mode, I was able to run first aid utility on the drive.  This has not fixed the problem.

  • Firefox will display in the process, but does not actually open. Must force close and reopen in safe mode to run. Can not reset freezes.

    All I know is listed in the original question.

    Hello

    As mentioned by you that Firefox works fine when it is started in safe mode - is that at the time? To find out if some of the addons/plugins you have installed is causing the browser to freeze, can you please try disabling addons one by one to see if it helps to find the plugin that may cause this problem.

    Also, can you please confirm if you saw this question earlier or if it's something you started to notice once you have switched to Firefox 26.0.

    Thank you

  • This morning update of Firefox has been downloaded but does not restart the laptop. He's trying to start and the lights on the keyboard. He continually tries to restart. The screen is blank. It was working fine until I clicked on restart.

    PC IS A COMPAQ PRESARIO V6000 RUNNING WINDOWS XP

    PC DOES NOT RESTART AFTER THE LAST FIREFOX DOWNLOAD THIS MORNING

    The PC screen does not light and I think he's dead. It can be quite fortuitous, and there may be a hardware failure that he would have stopped working even without the download of firefox. I'll have to consider Repair shop and see if anything can be saved on the hard disk.

    Thanks anyway

  • Firefox startup says URGENT... Download the update. I have download and install version 9.0.1 but does not have the Urgent message

    Help, about Firefox said I 9.0.1 but I always caution that I'm not using the current version.

    Version information, see you in the About dialog box are not available directly to Web sites. Instead, they see your "useragent" text, which can be changed. In your case, it was changed to version 3.5.4 list. Sometimes, this is caused by an add-on.

    Although this article is a bit old now, the procedure he described is still the best I know to fix this problem: Web sites or modules report wrongly incompatible browser | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help.

    A little luck?

  • What impression Firefox does not open the print dialog window

    When printing to our office, we often print on several printers, not just the default printer. When you print in Firefox, however, printing is automatically sent to the default printer and I do not get a print dialog window. I reset the options Firefox of the printer, change the file prefs.js and started Firefox in safe mode to check if an add-on affect printing - all about nothing done. When I print from Chrome, or (shudder) Internet Explorer, I get a dialog box send me options of the printer. Your help and your responses will be appreciated.

    There is a hidden preference to work around the dialog box, but it is certainly not defined by default. To check that:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste print and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) If you find a preference named print.always_print_silent there is your trouble.

    Next question would be, where it comes from? A few possibilities:

    (A) a user.js file that overrides prefs.js at startup. See: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    (B) a file lock in the program folder. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

  • Cannot start Windows, Windows Setup does not detect the hard disk, Bootmgr is misiing

    I have a few problems on my laptop [Acer 3810 t]

    -The first problem
    My mobile give me screen "cannot start windows' who have 2 choices: run the Startup Repair tool and boot normally. I chose to fix it, but nothing happens and stuck "starting windows" and gives unmountable boot volume 'blue screen '. the Dungeon of blues screen appear (for laptop is a not restart). So I turned off my phone and turn it back on it. the "could not start" screen again and I chose to start normally. but the result is negative. My portable Dungeon cannot start windows. Because of that I am using the advanced boot option and choose all the boot type such asit cannot load the safemode, last configuration etc, but the result is the same, you cannot start windows. in safe mode, its stuck in loading fileinfo.sys. I do not give up to try again with the advanced boot option. until I have a bad situation. My laptop can only 1 file in safe mode and blues screen do not appear again (my laptop only return at the beginning of start or restart)

    -The second problem
    because it cant solved, I want to reinstall my laptop. My OS is Vista 32 bit (pre-installed). I want to install the new operating system, windows 7. I use Dsik Flash bootable USB to install Windows 7. But in the BIOS, it is detected as a USB HDD. So I set my BIOS to load USB HDD to the first order. the installation can be done, but only until the "start Setup" screen and its deadlock. I have it wait up to an hour, but nothing happens. So I'm going to BIOS, change SATA mode to IDE mode AHCI. Then load the USB and go "installation program start screen. but the new problem is the installation of window does not detect my hard drive. So I can not choose the place to install the operating system. I have to load the driver, but I did not. Again to load the configuration to AHCI and IDE, until I get my HDD can detected in IDE mode. So I think I can move easily, I choose custom installation and choose the hard drive to install the operating system. But unfortunately, at the beginning of the process, after choosing the OS, the Installer gives error if installation location the installation failed. (I forgot the error message)

    -The third problem
    So far, I can't spend 'startup begins' as well in mode IDE and AHCI. Also bootmgr in my hard disk is missing, so I can't go to move the startup repair or the startup option in my HDD as before

    What is the error code that you got with blue screen?
