Firefox keeps looking for updates when the new tab open.

I'm under the latest version of Firefox (40.0.3) with adblocker more like my single addon. However whenever I try to open a new tab it take ages to open because Firefox is constantly looking for an update. It takes 2-3 minutes each time. Did you try refreshing Firefox, uninstall and reinstall without success. My system is 8.1 Win on a Lenovo PC i7. Everything worked well until the last FF update. I have no problem with the same version installed on my laptop.
Any help/suggestions would be apprciated. Thank you.

As long as it works. Play well.
Please report your last post as solved while others will know.

  • Server data store will automatically get updated when the new file (with the same name) is placed in the landing area


    Hi guys,.

    The data store server-side will get automatically updated when a new file with the same name is loaded in the landing area?

    for example

    1 data store created for server-side get the file named UK.xls (he has 5 rows)

    2 snapshot created for the above data store

    3. created with the snapshot process

    After that if I remove 2 lines from the same file and load again to the landing (with the same name). So by re-running the process will take the last file OR do I need to reload the file in the data store every time when there is a change in the file. We also tried with option to work but the last file was not picking up.

    Any help will be really appreciated.

    Please lets us know your updates.

    Please advice

    Thank you

    VT

    Hello

    When you create a snapshot, you create a snapshot whose task (provided that you use a data store server-side) can be run from a job. To refresh the data, run the snapshot in a job task. If you create a task at the time the snapshot and the processes that use it, they will automatically connect and will be 'upstream' data through the snapshot in the process. You can then choose whether it would be appropriate to write the snapshot or not (for the effectiveness of performance if you want to do the straight through processing) by activating or deactivating the bucket of data staged that the snapshot written to. The snapshot in the work task means that the data is refreshed.

    For the work of design to the Director, you can refresh the snapshot by running again it manually in the context menu.

    Hi cor - el

    Who did the trick. Now, I own empty screens when I open my home page or open a new tab. I like the simplicity - I don't want to see ads or irrelevant guff loads when I use internet. I like a clear workspace, it makes me more relaxed and more productive. I am now very happy!

    Thanks a lot for your help to solve my problems.

    And thanks to Monez01 to start the discussion.

  • How to make only ONE tab open every time I start Firefox - still, my screen jumps to the new tab page, although I tried to turn it off?

    I recently had internet service for the first time in two years. Over the two years, I took my desktop computer 4 times for a friend and got the updates that were available for AVG, HP, Windows XP, Adobe, Java, Open Office. As soon as I have internet at my house a few weeks ago, I started to update everything. My computer (HP Pavilion, Pentium 4 of 2006 - old, I know) now seems to work very well, but it's very annoying that everytime I open Firefox, I get a new tab page I ask, in addition to my homepage of Mozilla. Even more annoying is that my computer automatically to this page of the new tab. I tried to disable the new tab page by following the instructions given through the Mozilla 'Getting Started' page, rebooted the computer, and nothing has changed. Please advise!

  • TabbedPane - sending of property value when the new tab is selected

    Hi just designed tutorial, I have two tabs: vegetables and fruits.

    The two tabs will use the same qml file (inside is a unique list) but of course will use different DataModel.

    So, I set up a property for the DataModel source and place it when the current tab changes,

    Here's my simplified code:

    //main.qml
    TabbedPane{
        Tab{
            title: "Veggie"
            MyNextPage{}
        }
        Tab{
            title: "Fruit"
            MyNextPage{}
        }
        //Looks like here's the problem
        onActiveTabChanged:{
            var page = myComponentDefinition.createObject();
            if(activeTab.title == "Veggie")
                page.dataModelSource = "models/veggie.xml";
            else{
                page.dataModelSource = "models/fruit.xml";
            }
        }
    
        attachedObjects: [
            ComponentDefinition {
                id: myComponentDefinition
                source: "MyNextPage.qml"
            }
        ]
    }
    
    //MyNextPage.qml
    Page{
        property alias dataModelSource: myListView.dataModel.source
        Content{
            ListView{
                id: myListView
                layout: ...
                dataModel: XmlDataModel{
                    source: "models/veggie.xml"
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

    But he blocks my request. I don't know about works like that of property. Anyway the solution or alternative to send a value to another page?

    Thanks before

    It's easier if you do not attach the page, as follows:

    //MyNextPage.qml
    Page{
        property alias dataSource: dataModel.source
        Content{
            ListView{
                id: myListView
                layout: ...
                dataModel: XmlDataModel{
                    id : dataModel
                    //source: "models/veggie.xml"
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

    and then in your tabbedpane

    TabbedPane{
        Tab{
            title: "Veggie"
            MyNextPage{
    dataSource : "models/veggie.xml";
    }
        }
        Tab{
            title: "Fruit"
            MyNextPage{
        dataSource : "models/fruit.xml";
    }
        }
    }
    
  • by default the new tab opens to a page not available

    Greetings, everytime I open a new tab, the page always headed "chrome://quick_start/content/index.html" which would be fine except that the page seems not to exist, I think it may have been hijacked by a "update module false" while my mother used my laptop, anyway I tried to remove all traces of the update and cancel all changes However I can't seem to get this right, even if it is to direct the new tab to a new site... for example google.com that would be helpful, thanks in advance! Very much appreciated.

  • Firefox reduced when the new tab is open

    When I open some links that open in a new tab (for example my bank statement has an option 'printable version' and when I click on this link and it will open in a new tab) firefox suddenly minimizes and becomes much smaller. I have to maximize the screen again and it becomes boring after a while. What gives?

    Oh and I'm running on a Mac (OS X).

    Don't know how many times

    With the genie effect too?

  • Firefox keeps asking for password when I send emails

    Firefox version 35.0. When I open Firefox and do pass on messages, no problem. When I write an e-mail and send it, Firefox asks me password. I am able to send and receive e-mail while open. If I close Firefox and open, it ask password when I send. Months ago, I changed my password to connect to Netzero.com (which made more secure). Since then, I had this annoying password request. How to satisfy the password login server for receive/send emails?

    Is it asking for the password, or the web site of Firefox? The only time that
    FF you will be asked a password is if you have the active master password
    in the Password Manager.

    Open the Password Manager. There is a search bar on top of the
    page. Enter the name of the site. Press the button view passwords.
    What's the correct information? Note: maybe more then one entry there.

    Left on the icon in the address bar. A display of site information window should appear. Select more information. At the top of the window, select Security. Now select passwords saved view.
