Fixed a crash issue repeated with a new installation of Firefox on Windows 8.1 28

It is not so much a question as a contribution to the solution.

On a new computer running Windows 8.1 a new installation of Firefox 28 has been repeatedly crash or freeze ("no response"). Loading pages can be slow and scrolling in staircase. Totally unusable, especially after playing content with Shockwave.

Although I had not installed the plug-ins outside Shockwave and Adobe Acrobat, I have had a look and was surprised to see that I had never asked. I disabled those I don't think I need:
Intel's Identity Protection technology
Photo Gallery
WildTangent Games App alarm presence V2.

Since these disabling Firefox works well. But I was forced to use another browser for a week until you find the time to research the problem.

Why are these called not - for and of course (at least one) annoying plugins installed by default? It does not have any good Firefox!

Plugins are not included in the Firefox download, because Mozilla is not allowed to distribute. Firefox automatically detects the plugins on your system through a number of methods, so it was a good idea to revisit and disable those you don't need. I have really no idea whence the special ones.

  • My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files. How do I take the old bookmarks if there is no backup?

    My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?

    In fact, it can be easier...

    If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:

    E:\Users\username
    

    Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:

    \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.

    If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.

    To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer

    You understand that you will not be able to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7?  He will have to do a clean install.

    The Council supports Windows 7, you can get the drivers here (the chipset drivers should be the first drivers you install after installing the operating system.)

  • Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

    I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
    If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

    How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

    In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

    The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

    NTLDR
    Boot.ini
    NTDETECT.COM
    Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

    Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

    When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

    Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

  • Error with creating an installer of Firefox customized with 7zip

    Hello

    I tried to create an installer of Firefox for Windows, in accordance with the instructions on the following page:

    http://Mike.kaply.com/2012/02/14/customizing-the-Firefox-Installer-on-Windows-2012/

    I followed the instructions in the section "how I decompress the installer of Firefox?", "how I group my add-on with the installer of Firefox?", and "How to repackage the Installer?", on this agenda, including measures to integrate the modules in Firefox ( http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/09/integrating-add-ons-into-firefox/ ).

    However, when I open the final .exe, 7zip automatically attempts to extract the content, and I get the following response from 7zip: "the system cannot find the file specified." I'm not sure if it is purely because I didn't install MozillaBuild, as all stages until the final .exe running seem to work. Or maybe I did something wrong, that my changes in the preferences file are not implemented. Maybe the solution is obsolete?

    I will be happy to provide all the relevant details, such as Windows OS, version of 7zip, Firefox browser version, etc.

    Thanks for all your help! I actually ended up solving my problem, after a few failed attempts. Here is the solution:

    When http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/09/integrating-add-ons-into-firefox/ said that you "create a directory with the same ID as your Add on...» ", reference is made to the ID in your install.rdf file. You need to go to yours, find the ID field, then rename your directory/XPI to this ID.

    There are two fields of identification in your install.rdf file. You want one - one CCK2 invites you to write like an e-mail (for example, "somename@somedomain") address. The second - I think - is a constant, because it is the same ID than that of XPI Hello world of Mozilla.

  • Embedded audio player doesn't work with Firefox in a laptop computer, but works fine on a PC. How can I fix? It started with the new design of Firefox.

    This problem apparently only occurs with the audio player built into http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ . I tried other embedded audio players from other websites and they work fine. In the Firefox installed in my laptop, no matter what I do it does not play the SGU podcast. When I try to click on the download option it says "Video cannot be read because the file is corrupted. However, I can play and download the podcast without any problem with Firefox installed in my PC, which is the exact same version that is in my laptop, so I don't really know what could be the cause.

    I remember that this was not the case before the new design of Firefox. I tried the solutions proposed on this problem before asking this question. I checked that the plugins are up-to-date. I removed all the addons and plugins, and this did not help either. Firefox reset with no luck. Also tried a fresh install of Firefox and it didn't work. I used the laptop without synchronization first, and then synchronize with no difference. Flash is up to date and there is no apparent problems there.

    Maybe it's a codec missing or damaged? I wouldn't trust codecs from sources other than Microsoft for this purpose, since Firefox tries to use Windows to read the file.

    If you decide to give up and around the native player for a plugin, these changes of settings usually work for this:

    (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 filter box, type or paste media and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) [except XP], double-click on media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to change its value from true to false.

    (4) double click on media.directshow.enabled to change its value from true to false.

    Hi hwkangel,

    It looks like a known issue reported here:

    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014

    There was a workaround solution posted, but I have not tested it myself. Here are the steps.

    1. Go to the Yahoo Messenger Options - change the window in the tab menu and press OK.
    2. Then go back and switch to the small window and press OK.

    The bug has already been fixed. So, you can download the beta version of FF 10 If this is a really important feature for you.

    Hope this helps!

  • 12.0 Firefox freezes / crashes except Mode without failure (new installation, even!)

    For some reason any, whenever I started Firefox (v 11.x) it would freeze on and off... gel for 3 to 5 seconds, then release for a few seconds, then freezes more and more.

    So, I uninstalled Firefox (including all profile information), downloaded new v12.0 Firefox and installed from scratch. When I started it, it does the SAME THING! Without supplements, the profile by default, etc.

    However, when I start safe mode, this is not it at all - it works fine.

    I also tried starting Firefox where you tell everyone everything reset, restart, and it still behaves wrong. It works without hesitation when in Mode without failure.

    What's up with that?

  • Updated Windows and transfer to the new computer with a new installation

    Hi I have an office of aging that I plan on upgrading within 12-15 months. I am currently under W7 and want to upgrade to 8.1. When I finally buy my new material under a BONE, me will be possible to transfer 8.1 overall with a full installation and not an image copied from my current position?

    Thanks for the tips

    To clarify my last sentence: If you buy Windows 8.1 full and use it to upgrade your old machine (Win 7), later when you buy your new computer and install 8.1, you will need to remove the old computer (it can only be activated on a PC at the same time).  So if you were to sell your old computer, legally you have to withdraw Windows 8.1.
