Firefox Hangs w/memory leak on ynet.co.il only

• Start page Mozilla Firefox causing extreme memory leaks?

  For some reason, when I opened my Firefox today, so bad that I have my computer crashes all also blocks... Even if I close and reopen Firefox, it still hangs... So the only option I have is to complete the process... However, if you wait long enough after my crashes Firefox, it won't hang on and working normally again. For this reason, I did a little investigation to know what could be the cause why my Firefox keeps hanging after the start, and I found an answer to this. I discovered that my Firefox Start Page was the main reason why it crashes. I have concluded that, because when I changed my home page to start on a blank Page, it does not crash, and whenever the Start Page is displayed, I noticed that the firefox.exe process on my task manager going up to 1 000 000 + K of memory... which is obviously abnormal... So the question is, how do I fix?

  See response of cor - el on my page of problem (I had the same problem) a solution that works:

• There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as the Firefox Start Page, at 26.0 Firefox on Windows!

  There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as start up Firefox, 26.0 Firefox Page, Windows!

  seen on:
  -Windows 7 x 64 machine with 12 GB of RAM and high performance CPU (core i7-920)
  -Comments Machine virtual WinXP SP3 (in Oracle VirtualBox) running on the same computer
  -Intel Atom D525 netbook with 4 GB of RAM, running Win7 x 64

  None of these machines are connected through Sync or something like that. The Firefox instance on the virtual machine is a fresh install / clean.

  The problem:
  -100% of cpu usage for 10 seconds, (util in XP) memory usage goes up to 1.7 GB
  -If "subject: House" is actually the Firefox Start Page, it blocks the computer at startup of Firefox for 10 seconds
  -If "subject: House" isn't the Firefox Start Page, startup is fine - BUT if I press the "home" on the toolbar button it loads "on: House" which causes the same question once again

  Sounds that there is a problem with one of the code snippets that are responsible. I've seen several reports on this issue.

  You can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref an empty string on the subject: the page of config to disable loading (new) checked to see if that helps.

• On firefox memory leaks cause blue screens?

  On firefox memory leaks cause blue screens?

  If you encounter blue screen crashes, this majority refers often to an incompatibility with a device driver, especially the graphics drivers. Go to Firefox Safe Mode and disable the use of Firefox hardware acceleration of graphics.

  Assuming that Firefox is closed:

  Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox. You should get a small dialog box. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  (If Firefox is running, use Help > restart with disabled modules to call the dialog box.)

  In Firefox, open the Options of the Advanced tab dialog box:

  the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced

  In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

  This will take effect after you exit Firefox and start it up again (in normal mode).

• Since the upgrade to Sierra MediaLibraryService is causing a memory leak

  Hello.

  I upgraded to Sierra, since as soon as Itunes is launched, the com.apple.medialibraryservice is originally a large memory leak, it keeps in ram more until she takes all (16 GB) and significantly slows down the computer.

  I tried to reset the nvram and smc memory, doesn't change anything.

  Does anyone have an idea on what is causing this leak and is there a solution?

  Yes, I noticed this also. After that I opened iTunes, it's just a matter of time before all the memory gets used up and all departure is wobbly. In particular, bluetooth really gets bug after a certain time, and as soon as I quit iTunes, that's fine.

• Firefox hanging up or if overwrite everytime that I open it. Does not open in either safe mode.

  I tried to delete the history of navigation and web when closing Firefox and this problem occurred with Firefox hanging up immediately do not except on 'force quit' opening and closing can totally do not at all. It will not open in past just zilch Mode safe! Nothing I've tried has worked. I've deleted and reinstalled Firefox, it but the same happens immediately.
  I am a senior and not a tech head! So need some simple instructions. Currently I use Safari and but would go back to Firefox and reinstalled again so I can access my bookmarks.
  Thanks for your help.

  Oops, you press the wrong key. To continue,
  Press the button on the screen to create a blank profile.
  This will do nothing for the current profile.

  If this new profile works, then we can work on the copy of the old profile to the new.

• Firefox hangs for a while when the download window appears

  Whenever I have start a file download (regardless of its size), Firefox hangs for a few seconds, sometimes more. I deleted the downloads.sqlite file and it helped for a few days but it started happening again. I deleted new downloads.sqlite but this time it would not help. I even installed the add-on DownThemAll as suggested some people, but it happens with it also.

  I use Firefox for 7-8 years now and never had any problems that cannot be solved, but this more a few more freezes or crashes from time to time starts to be annoying. I have all the major browsers installed because of my job, but kept FF as a default, but I'm starting to consider a switch after all these years.

  Can someone suggest a soluton? And I do not consider disabling the pop-up downloads a solution.

• Satellite U500 memory leak - 18 p

  Memory leaks are a common error in programming.
  leak memory occurs when a computer program consumes memory, but is unable to release it in the operating system.

  In your case, it would be necessary to know what application or process that runs in the background do
  This can be very long process you would need to install a system of fees will need to check the memory leak after each installation of driver or another application

• My Macbook Pro reboots after a memory leak every two hours

  Hey everybody. I'm having a problem with my MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012), where he is recovering in market (usually after gel). In this case only (so far) while using Adobe Illustrator CC 2015 (to date). I also use a Wacom tablet (intuos 4, with latest drivers), drawing, which can also be the culprit.

  This happened with Yosemite, so I had upgraded to El Capitan - that does not solve the problem.

  I apologize if the problem is with myself! I get that this problem is probably the fault of Wacom, Adobe or myself - I just want to see what you think Mac-heads.

  Thanks a lot, a lot in advance for any advice - I appreciate any help I can get.

• Defective touchpad (Synaptics) and slow computer after extended use (memory leak)

  Two problems have been caused with my HP Split 2 x since I bought it 2 months ago:

  (1) the touchpad works sometimes for a few seconds, while the touchscreen still work OK.

  (2) the computer becomes slow after a while of use (which varies from a few minutes to a few hours usually). The Task Manager shows 98%-99% of memory, most of which use (3.6 GB / 4 GB) are not paged memory.

  I suspect the two issues are related to a faulty Synaptics driver, according to:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/envy-X2-non-paged-pool-memory-l...

  and http://forum.notebookreview.com/razer/731374-memory-leak-synaptics-driver.html .

  I did the same test as the second link with the same result: Open "Task Manager" (Ctrl-Shift-Esc), on the 'Performance' tab, select 'memory '. Note the value for "Non paged memory. If I move the touchpad, it increases to about 1 MB every 5 seconds. If I stop moving, the value remains constant.

  I use the preinstalled Synaptics driver, version 17.0.10.9 (Sep 06, 2013) for 64-bit 8.1 window.

  Everyone has the same problem, or use it without these issues?

  I would like to know if a restoration system or factory reset may fix.

  FINALLY!

  Microsoft has just released an update for Synaptics Driver, not thanks to HP which has not found a way to provide the possible Synaptics driver as an OEM update.

  Update Windows Update to Sypatics HD TouchPad two days ago, but I would not be allowed to install as it kept then mainly in giving the 800F0100 error Code. After some research on the Internet I could find that an installation manual after the WU has downloaded the driver would be possible.

  So I went to the Device Manager > mice and other pointing devices > TouchPad Synaptics HID > properties > driver > Update Driver > Browse my computer for driver software and shown the finger/windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution/Download and everything worked like a charm = D

  I have no more memory leak and now after SEVEN MONTHS I finally can use gestures that it was supposed to.

  But I still annoyed gel problems which in my case is a dysfunction between the screen and the dock.

  Just that you wanted the guys at Microsoft to know is the solution, not the HP that would have had if they have signed and put the driver since November last at our disposal. Blame it on you, HP.

• UDP/Lakes memory leaks?

  I wonder if anyone has had problems with memory leaks/Lakes when you use UDP and data queues?

  The program has a section of code where the queues are loaded with the data read from different UDP ports. The queues are then read by a loop (which is triggered by a source of synchronization of 1 kHz) and some of the data is displayed on the Panel before the main VI. When the program runs it loses memory about 100 Kbps leading to a failure in about 4-5 hours, when the physical RAM is at its maximum.

  I think that I traced the question (using the DETT it shows several memory allocation operations) to the Subvi I join which fills the queues. Can anyone help to emphasize something that could lead to leaks of memory/Lakes?

  Thank you!

  I suspect that the problem is that you are not emptying queues quickly enough. And is not in the code you have posted. There's also a few subVIs, classes, and controls.

  Usually call loops should only be used on real-time operating systems. They offer no advantage over the standard while loop and have an additional charge when using a desktop OS. Also placing indicators within the quick loops can create problems. The operating system does not update the screen dozens of times per second, so wrote indicators 1000 times per second LV forces or the operating system, or both to manipulate data.

  Having multiple synchronization methods in a loop can lead to problems.  UDP timeout is probably based on the clock count of ticks. If you have the timeout of read of the UPD defined with a value greater than zero, the UDP bed may take longer than the timed loop interval.  The timeout of read UDP allows a wait in a standard while loop.

• Memory leak with RS-485 visa

  I tried to find a slow memory leak in a large application Labview (2012f3). Using perfmon, probes and breakpoints, I could trace the source of the leak of a series VI communication employing a number of nodes VISA. I have attached a slightly simplified version of the VI leaking (serialCommand.vi), as well as a VISA vi initialization and a VI of container to test.

  Did anyone see any problems with the serialCommand VI that could possibly cause memory leak?

  After reading all posts of the forum that I could find on memory leaks and VISA error, I was still unable to stop the leak. SomeofthethingsI'vetriedsofar:

  -J' read VISA Close can cause leaks memory, so I disabled inside the loop (even if he was closing an event, not the port)

  -J' wrote extra carriage at the beginning of the VI returns, before rinsing the pads

  -J' was initially using VISA 5.2; After the upgrade to VISA 5.3, the leak occurred still

  -J' replaced VISA nodes with constant value placeholders, and the leak repaired (not a solution, but the confirmation that it is the location of the leak)

  It may also be worth noting that I don't remember when this leak memory in the previous development when I was watching for leaks, but a few days ago Labview executable generates started fails with the error 1, and the only way to get Labview to successfully build again should fix labview from Add/Remove Programs (Win 7 Ultimate) , so it could be related to a change of version in one of the packages that has been reinstalled.

  Thank you.

  Is there a reason that you use VISA events?  It seems that you expect just a character.  Why not to use playback VISA wait for a byte and use the timeout if the byte is not?

• tool tip memory leak

  Seems to be leaking memory associated with ToolTips.  Every time I put your mouse on a panel using tool tips I see case the dynamic memory usage constantly increases.  If I comment out the call to the functions of the tool tip (i.e. SetCtrlToolTipAttribute), memory leak disappears.

  There is no patch for 8.0.0, if it is tell you.

  But from the Toolbox of the programming interface is open-source, you can easily fix it yourself:

  The 8.0.0 3365 online version of C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\CVI80\toolslib\toolbox\toolbox.c, you need to add the function call following ListDispose:

  If (RectContainsPoint (bounds, point))
  {
  PointConvertCoordinates (Panel, child, & point, FALSE);
  ListDispose (sortedChildren);
  Return PointToPanel (child, point);
  }

  After you make the change, you will have to recompile the file (Options > create a file object) to regenerate the object file and restart CVI.
