Firefox maxing out connection to 173.194.28.48 on its own

I tried to understand what uses a lot of data over the last two months. He had a little used while we were out today. Summer look at resource monitor a little and I saw just Firefox start maxing out the connection to the Google IP 173.194.28.48 steadily just sitting there with a tab open. Did anyone know what Addon or the function would be to communicate with that IP?

He seems not to have been NoScript, use caps for removing.

  • How to switch from firefox to its own directory?

    I had to use Chrome to install Firefox and it get program_files automatically. I need in its own directory - can I move it?

    Thanks Cor - el. It turned out that the computer, on which I was did not have administrator privileges. That must be why IE8 don't would not download it and Chrome messed with it.

    Anyway, once that I solved that resettlement was offered installation customized as expected.

    you're going to love Firefox!

  • MacBook Pro (15 inch, end 2013) with MacOS Sierra 10.12: kernel_task maxing out CPU with external display

    I have a maxed out end 2013 the MacBook Pro Core i7 to 2.6 GHz, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, 1 TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M 2048 MB, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB.

    Also, I have a DELL P2415Q Display 24 inches (3840 x 2160) using Thunderbolt, are involved through the headphone jack and use a USB for lightning to recharge my iPhone.

    I upgraded to macOS Sierra the day he is released and had no problems until this morning. I unplugged my external screen and speakers and used my laptop for about 15 minutes, the battery, and then returned to my office and plugged my Thunderbolt, rear speakers display in and my CPU shot at 100% and never came back down. My Mac is essentially useless because kernel_task is eating all my CPU and to prevent another asks to enter the CPU.

    I have since audited equipment - everything was fine, reset the NVRAM and I tried to erase IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext .plist files but I couldn't on my Mac (trying to follow this guide, started in Safe Mode and everything then went to try and find the file and my Mac just does not have it). When my external screen is plugged if I'm doing anything CPU intensive (videophone, opening of Chrome, etc.) then my kernel_task gets mad again, and the only way to move is to unplug my screen. Connect my iPhone to charge the tips also my kernel_task as well. I followed my internal temperatures, and nothing was out of the ordinary, to cold currently at about 140 °.

    At this point, it seems that any time that puts something on the charging system and increase the temperature internal internal components of my Mac kernel_task maxes my CPU, which brings my Mac to its knees.

    Any ideas how to fix? Is this just a major bug in 10.12?

    Hi, Trent L.

    He got rid of all my macOS strangeness of the Sierra.

  • Problems with the new Macbook pro 15' maxed out

    Here's a quick post about my experience so far with the new macbook pro. I just got a brand new fully maxed out in spec macbook pro 15 inch 1 to SSD 16 GB RAM AMD R9 370 m GPU (set to automatic switching is not always) and a 2.8 to 4 GHz i7. I turned on and set it up which was nice and took 2 minutes. Then experience decreased a little when I saw an EST 05:36 hours of battery life remaining to 94%. So I loaded 100% and it is still 60% of battery life announced and no program running that I literally just signed a brand new machine.

    Then I tried to use the migration wizard to import a backup of my iMac 5 k so I can do everything on this clone for my laptop. After having successfully connected (he told me if my password for time machine was incorrect or not) it froze and did nothing, continue did nothing.

    Then place had to call support, was a guy on the phone in 30 seconds and I unplug and restart the machine time, always that same question so I transferred to a guy with "more training". The new guy I could say knew a little more and knew that I knew how to set my password or if I walked in their properly for a bit but they all have been set for the same password just for this. I created a second admin account called "test" under his leadership, and when the migration assist froze on this account, he was surprised and proceeded to transfer me off.

    I preceded to restore fully the machine into thinking that my account setup is causing trouble with the migration assistant, and it turns out that the closure of that laptop it can only continue to 'download additional components', while that connected for 30 minutes so all last night was wasted, and now I guess he's got 5 left 12 hours to download original 'things '. Keep in mind that I can download 5 GB in one hour... After he wake up this morning and ending up where I left it last night :/ he says 84 hours go, now 72 and 51 and it is not updated even once in seconds, it took 20 minutes to 84 minutes to 51, it's literally a day 2 reset extravagance or what? Just to download it I can only imagine the actual plant until I can install my programs.

    The cost of the laptop was about $3600 but paid ~ $2900 after headphones were included and $250 off for delivery to students and other issues on the agenda of the process itself that is not my complaint, what happens, but sitting with a new camera and support useless just to ask me if I can use actually tomorrow at this price are unacceptable.

    I would like to continue using it for a while.

  • CPU maxed out in Windows 7 - always above 90%

    I'm trying to understand why my CPU maxed out as always - I downloaded process Explorer after a lot of research and found that the three principals 'system', "taskhost.exe" and "svchost.exe". I don't think I have a virus I did serveral tests. I booted in safe mode and found that the processor is running normally, however, I can not manually start the rest of the applications normally used by my computer...

    Thanks for the reply - I've traced the problem down to Firefox if you can believe it--after many years he became corrupt right - I did a complete uninstall and reinstall and the systemhost.exe fell to 3-4%.

  • Firefox is not connect to internet unless the reboot

    So, recently, I had a problem with Firefox does not connect to internet unless I quit and reopen the app.
    It happens like this:
    -J' open Firefox and it works;
    -I lose the internet connection (for example, I turn off my wifi, or my laptop goes to sleep);
    -J' I reconnect to the internet.
    -Open Firefox browser will not connect to what it is and continues to load when I click a link
    -J' I need exit Firefox and restart it before starting work again.

    It doesn't go to my other browsers (Safari, Chrome), once I have reconnect to the internet open browser will just continue to work without needing to be restarted.

    Is not a big deal, but it's a bit annoying and I would like to know if there is anything I can do about it.

  • Gmail NOT working, error this site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST) to specify that Firefox didn't connect safely

    You asked Firefox to connect to www.gmail.com, but we cannot confirm that your connection is secure.

    Normally, when you try to connect safely, sites will present a reliable identification to prove that you're in the right place. However, the identity of this site cannot be verified.
    What should I do?

    If you normally connect to this site without problems, this error can mean that someone is trying to impersonate the identity of the site, and you should not continue.

    This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST) to specify that Firefox didn't connect safely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.
    www.gmail.com uses an invalid security certificate.

    The certificate is not approved, because no sender string has been provided.

    (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

    Well, these aren't real site certificates, they are signed by a different transmitter, apparently your VPN. In order to trust with your VPN as a certificate issuer, you need to import another certificate, the signing certificate.

    In Internet Explorer, you would an expert this certificate to the REB/DER format, and then in Firefox you should be in the References, not the servers tab tab, the display of the certificate. After that, the false certificates signed JuniperSSL will be considered valid.

    At least that's what's supposed to happen.

  • On the OWN website of mozilla, I get the message "Your Firefox is out of date and may contain a security risk!' but I just download and install the latest version?

    I have the latest version of firefox to date (15/10/2014 v32) and I still get messages while on various sites Internet (Youtube, Google, Gmail), telling me that your Firefox is out of date and may contain a security risk.

    I have not even this message on the support pages of mozilla.org?

    I tried the subject: config reset the useragent (s) fix, but it does not work.
    I tried browsing in safe mode and still get the error.

    Why this false/positive happening?

    Thank you

    Hello your useragent (information, the browser sends to websites to identify its version) - apparently by mistake - shows this:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20140923 Firefox/4.0.0; xs-A30GTmfXR3o;CkHZPf;

    probably some kind of unwanted software has crashed it. Please refer to this article in order to reset the user agent settings in firefox:

  • Firefox does not connect to any site since the new update to download.

    Firefox does not connect to all websites since the installation of the last update. Google Chrome and Internet work.

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust to the
    a previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated as version
    level of confidence. Now how do I solve the problem: to allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
    Once again;

    • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (for example, you are using the latest version)
    • Delete Firefox to list your program of trusted or recognized programs, then add it again. For detailed instructions, see

    Configure the firewall so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}

  • Firefox does not connect to any Web site, but other browsers will.

    When I get something in the URL- google.com, localhost, http://127.0.0.1/ one bar the IP address, there is a fraction of a second flash, then the bar becomes empty and nothing has changed. It seems that Firefox is not even try to connect to the internet.

    Yesterday, everything was fine when I was running FF on Windows 7. After the upgrade to Windows Pro 8, Firefox has failed. I've updated for Windows 8.1, hoping for the best, but it's the same problem.

    I've walked by the firewall program, several times (the only race is the built-in Windows Firewall). Finally, I uninstalled Firefox, including all my settings, custom and reinstalled from scratch, twice. And even this version pure and clean Firefox does not connect to the internet.

    I am a computer web developer and would be happy to look at the log files or run a tool (Fiddler?) to see what happens at a low level, if I only knew where to look.

    john99, thanks for the links. I went through all (again), one by one. The last link kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic showed me what helped. I've renamed "firefox.exe" to "firefox1.exe" and was able to use firefox.

    It made me suspect the firewall or malicious software. I ran a Malwarebytes full scan, zero problems detected. I have pored on the entries of windows firewall, the "Windows Firewall with advanced security" view and also the simple control panel view. The only mention of Firefox is that I continue to add and remove to allow firefox through.

    Here I knew what was going on, but for now, I can at least use firefox. How frustrating!

  • Maxing out CPU with Google Image search, some other sites

    When I try to use Google Image search or load items of SBNation, the Firefox maxes CPU usage site and it stops responding during 10 seconds before it has loaded everything. It is a new problem that has arisen in recent weeks.

    I tried to disable all addons and plugins, deleting the cookies, clear cache, downgraded version beta at 23 and none seem to make no difference.

    Hello

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • Download iCloud photos to External Hard drive maxing out on my Mac hard drive

    My photo library was therefore mainly on iCloud due to its size, but I wanted have also stored it locally. So I bought a large external hard drive, plugged and copied my library of Photos of her. I made library of the external hard drive the library 'system' and click on ' download originals of this Mac. "

    My photo library increased from 5 GB to 127.5 GB local. Strangely, my iMac's hard drive began to be filled with hundreds of gigabytes of 'Other' files. Near 458 GB of "Other" files. I had to move even more files on the external drive just to make my iMac service as the new mysterious files are maxing out my hard drive.

    I'm sure that the download is at the origin of these mysterious "other" files. The download is almost complete. Is what I assume to be deleted by the Photos app temporary system files? I can't find the source of these files. My iMac utility disk tells me I have files over 121 million, while that the Finder tells me that I have only ~ 1 800 elements.

    Should I just make the trip to the Genius Bar, or this should be resolved once the download is complete? Late 2009 iMac, 500 GB; 1.3 photos.

    Thanks in advance.

    Let the full download and then check - it will probably be fine
