• Firefox does ' t open. The Task Manager indicates that f. opens 21676 KB, but then it stops all the time. What's wrong?

  I just loaded a new Firefox. It does not open.

  Hi pirkkob,

  You can take a look at the article in the Knowledge Base for the error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding" - how to fix . Another could be useful is article on issues from Firefox. There are lots of good information in there.

  Hope this helps!

• Intermittently after the reboot, the option "Hide when minimized" in the Task Manager Win XP is too effective; the CPU usage icon does not appear in the notification area. Sometimes restart heals, sometimes not.

  The Options menu of the Windows Task Manager includes "hide when minimzed ', to display an icon in the area of notification, but not on the traskbar. I leave that option checked all the time to control the percentage of processor; but sometimes without apparent cause, after I reboot there is no icon in the area. Is there a way to fix this?

  Hello ronks,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  The reason for which the icon is not in the system tray is because the Task Manager is closed not minimized when you start your computer. To do this, you could do the following:

  -Go to my computer > C: > Windows > System32
  -Locate in Taskmgr
  -Create a shortcut > right click on the shortcut > click on cut
  -Navigate to my computer > C: > Documents and Settings > username (your username) > Start Menu > programs > startup
  -Paste in the startup folder

  -Right click on the shortcut > click Properties
  -Less run > pull down the menu and select Minimized > click OK > close window

  Now every time that you restart the Task Manager will be launched in a minimized state.

  Hope this helps Chris.H

• recognition of the application via the Task Manager

  If my 2 applications are run on the server and by any means that this system locks into place... and now I want to stop only one request by the task manager then how to recognize that, as in the Task Manager I wud see only esssvr.exe for both...

  Hello

  You can do it by the process id in the go Task Manager to display the select columns, check PID.
  One way to match is looking in the essbase.log - you will see entries like
  Start the application [example] with the process id [6988]

  Try to use the microsoft process Explorer, it will identify the process much easier.

  See you soon

• Firefox will not hold, but shows in the Task Manager, after updating graphics drivers from AMD 13.1.

  Hello

  After update for drivers AMD 13.1 on my 5770, Firefox will not launch; It doesn't, however, appears in the Task Manager. I want to emphasize that it will boot into Windows safe mode; When I opened it in safe mode, I used this time to deactivate all plugins, modules, extensions and created a new profile. This did not help. I also tried launching Firefox in its safe mode and had no luck with that either.

  I encountered this problem once before, when trying to upgrade to an earlier version. I think I was moving from 12.1 to 12.4, but I'm not 100% sure of that. In the end, my solution was then to retrograde back to my previous driver. The steps mentioned in the previous paragraph has not helped at that time, not do a complete reinstall.

  experience of 15 years, and that computer repair baffled me.

  Thanks to all those who might be able to help.

  Eventually the relevant specifications.
  Windows 7 Ultimate x 64
  AMD Phenom II x 4
  Ram 6BG

• Firefox is running in the Task Manager, but only opens a window.

  I can't get Firefox to open a window. I tried firefox-p (Profile Manager) and firefox-safe (safe mode), but nothing works to open a window. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but that solves nothing. I haven't changed anything recently, so perhaps there is a update (?) Here's what happens:

  I try to start Firefox, and the Task Manager indicates that Firefox is running. It employs about 32 k of memory, but the window never opens.

  I click Firefox again. Manager tasks indicates 2 Firefox process now. The second is to use about 4 k of memory. Running Firefox repeatedly adds additional tasks to Firefox, each using about 4 k of memory.

  After about a minute, the additional tasks of Firefox (the 4 k ones) start closing 1 by 1. I am now down to only 2 Firefox process, using 32 k and 4 k of memory, respectively. As far as I know, these processes will last forever, until I have shut them down manually. If I run Firefox again without closing the current process, it creates another 4 k process, which finally closes itself. If I close all the processes manually, I can start over from scratch. Meanwhile, Firefox never opens a window, or give a clue showing that it is running, with the exception of the processes listed in the Manager tasks.

  I deleted the one in my USER folder without change. There are a couple more in various C:\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles files, so I deleted those too, without change.

  It's a custom location. Normally, the profiles are under AppData\Roaming, I think you already know. There is a shortcut:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\
  

  This folder must contain a profiles.ini file (.ini file extension may be hidden), which shows the names and paths to your profile folder (s). If you check in a text editor such as Notepad, this file contains sound data?

  If this started right after an update, it could be a problem with security software, put an end to the commissioning (rules of program control) or program files has been corrupted.

  You can check your firewall and other security software for program restrictions.

  To meet possible corrupt files, I suggest:

  Clean reinstall it

  We use this name, but it isn't about deleting your settings, this is to ensure that the program, files are clean (no incompatible or exotic code files). As described below, this process does not disrupt your existing settings. Don't uninstall NOT Firefox, that does not need.

  (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 43.0 https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (B) the release of Firefox (if any).

  (C) to rename the folder of the program as follows:

  (Windows 64-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
  

  (Windows 32-bit folder names)

  C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
  

  TO

  C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
  

  (D) to run the installation program that you downloaded in step (A). It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  A cleanly reinstalled Firefox starts up normally?

  Note: Some plugins can only exist in this OldFirefox file. If it is missing something essential, present in these files:

  • \OldFirefox\Plugins
  • \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

• 29 Firefox fails to come out properly and continues to run in the Task Manager.

  It is a continuation of a thread found here:
  https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997448 by Compumind.

  I pointed out that I had the same experience, especially at the opening of the email links in Thunderbird. I reported also that forced me to go back to 28 FF.

  Moses responded by top wire and suggested:
  (1) download a fresh installer of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

  (2) the release of Firefox.

  (3) rename the folder

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox

  TO

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \OldFirefox

  (4) run the installer you downloaded in the #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.

  I followed these instructions carefully but no joy. When installing 29 FF, not only refused to leave (using "exit") and continue to run in the Task Manager up until I killed him after the opening of links in Thunderbird, but I find that he refused to come out after a simple navigation and links.

  Moses had asked that I didn't answer in the original thread, so I re-post here.

  In my view, that there is a serious bug. With Firefox 28... no problem don't except a minor that I have indicated here:
  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1002089

  Yet once I am obliged to 28 FF, although I miss the nice interface and security patches, I need to have a browser that works properly. My wife never even saw the Manager of the tasks before so that's the problem.

  In addition, "guesses" made with this post, the only other thing usual outside that I do, is to have a security policy about cookies (accept by default... I make exceptions for cookies I want to keep and have several that are "allow only for the session.") I also FF the value delete history of navigation at the exit, but that takes a fraction of a second.

  I look forward to when this matter can be addressed successfully and I am able to use 29 FF (and out properly... I can't wait for my wife to follow all of these instructions and it often close manually in the Manager of tasks... or what I want to do this.)

  Good luck for all Mozilla projects. Having installed 29 FF twice and then back return 28 twice, I'll wait and see how this plays out. Please don't send me the standard "start in safe mode", 'restart with disabled modules', 'reset Firefox' stuff (the last time that completely destroyed my browser). I don't think that is what is happening.

  Moses added that there is a problem with the e-mail notifications passing by, so take your time, friends.

  I think now (temporarily) this bug or problem has its roots in "history leaving Compensation."

  I made the leap after a few game with 29 PortableFirefox and reading the blog post linked here:

  [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../997918#answer-566755]

  .. .and installed 29 FF on my previous FF28 on my box. I unchecked the "clear history on exit" which was only to delete my history, not cookies or anything else, cor - el. My setting should not accept cookies unless I make an exception. Until the FF developers find a way to do this is functional, I'll just have to manually delete the history.

  Furthermore, John99, you want to maybe privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown set to 'False', not 'true' If you want to stop the automatic deletion of the history at the exit (attempt).

  I've been running for about 6 hours. without experiencing the bug 'suspended '. So, I can live with that for now until this bug is fixed. It should be fixed... browsers are supposed to be able to do things like that.

  On the other hand, I could find things go wrong... but so far I'm not having a problem.

  I for several hours and will let you know later if things change.

  Kind regards

• Firefox won't work, even if current running in the Task Manager.

  We have about 5 users having Firefox refuses to open. In the task manager the firefox.exe is running. When we run as administrator, it works sometimes, but runs faster. We tried the ESR 38.2 Firefox and that worked for a day or two. I deleted their profiles and installed Firefox fresh with no Add-ons, even a day or two later, it opens. We turned off hardware acceleration, no change. The only thing I can think that I have not done is to clean the registry.

  5 users = all on the same PC?
  Or what with workstations and profiles on a server?

  Any type of configuration customized for when Installer Firefox?

• Firefox crashes constantly, made all the corrections, Manager tasks started and as long as TM runs, browser does not crash. Why?

  I have to constantly move to prevent the browser from hanging for most of the web sites and especially you tube, I have done all the suggested fixes and nothing works. That is to say. Firefox deleted, deleted all the files in the programs, local applications, etc. Download the latest, not made any customizations and I have a question. However, when you use the Task Manager to see if the CPU or memory was something I noticed until the task manager has been refreshing, the ongoing browser without hanging, it's like when an interruption of the system produces the browser continue as if I were to continue to move. Windows 7 with the latest patches.
  I have a second PC, win 7, with the same version of Firefox, no problem at all.

• Firefox does not open, but the process remains in the Task Manager up until I finish it

  I tried everything that was suggested before you guys and I hope that you have found a solution now. I tried to re install, allowing Firefox through my firewall and running it as an administrator. I always double click on the icon and nothing happens except the process in the Task Manager.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

• When I open the Task Manager and select "Show processes from all users" there are 2 files virus csrss.exe?

  original title: virus csrss.exe?

  I use Vista Home Premium.  When I open the Task Manager and select "Show processes from all users" there are 2 files csrss.exe.  I learned that this indicates that I was infected by a virus.  Is this the case?

  Hi Julie,.

  Did you the latest changes on the system?

  Csrss.exe is Client/Server Runtime Subsystem.  All the Microsoft system has file csrss.exe running in the Task Manager, but it is likely to be infected by others. If it uses a lot of time processor and extremely abnormal in activities in the Task Manager, you can run a scan of the system security.

• The Task Manager shows RFLed is a running application.

  The Task Manager shows RFLed is a running application. It is still there and seems to be a little hard drive. Computer is an ASI Innovace running Vista Home Premium and only a few months. Equipped with a wireless keyboard and mouse. 2 GB of RAM and 1 terabyte of disk.

  Analysis of virus and Spyware scans are both clear. Looking for a file/folder produces a result draw.

  What is this application and I should remove it?

  RFLed is a utility that my new keyboard and computer to use. It is a gateway keyboard and does not contain the NumLock or CapsLock LEDs on it, but a poster on the graphic screen every time I change these settings. It is annoying because it takes me out of my program document for 5 seconds if I accidentally hit the CapsLock key while typing.
