NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service disabled makes Firefox slow start (even if related plugin is set to never activate)

The problem I encounter is that I disabled the 'NVIDIA Stereoscopic 3D Driver Service"my msconfig configuration. After a reboot when I started Firefox there is a huge delay (2-3 seconds) showed a white screen (which indicates a wait for a timeout).

Now, before pointing at NVIDIA (which I also finger pointing here), I want to clarify, Yes, there's a plugin installed in Firefox (NVIDIA 3D VISION), but it has been set (disabled - never activate). So I wonder why would a disabled plugin that is configured to start never attempt to communicate and causing a such time-out at the start, it makes little sense to me.

Hi TaohRihze, I don't know, but this also occurs when you have disabled hardware acceleration? And who is an extension required for your graphics card?

Instructions below:
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:

  1. Open the Firefox Options (Preferences on Mac or Linux) as follows:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      then select Options Preferences on Mac or Linux, or Windows.

    • In 28.0 Firefox and earlier versions, click on the Firefox orange upper-left button, then select the 'Options' button or, if there is no button up Firefox, go to tools > Options.
  2. In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
  3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  4. 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:

This is a HUGE security hole because if I forgot to close, say facebook, as soon as FF it brings it to the top with me connected.

    If it does not get fixed I will be forced to go to the Opera or Chrome (which I CERTAINLY don't want to!)

    Ooohhh, you see in the event Log?

    I looked in the NVIDIA forums and found this:

    I have some NVIDIA cards, but not this one, so I can't recreate and test the suggestion...

    If the RemoveNvNdis.exe does not work (I think he must disable or remove completely the service), looks like he's some NVIDIA service that tries to start when you reboot, it cannot be started for some reason any.  Looks like you don't need to start.

    If you can find it in the Services of XP, you could check the properties and set the startup type to disabled, restart and see what things look like.  (Do you know how?)

    If the mere presence of the Service in your list of Services, then you mind, you can also delete the Service entirely (I want to it later, just to be ordered if it is always hanging out).

  • Latitude E6410 internal display will not work unless the driver is disabled, regardless of the OS

    Hi all

    I had done research on google without end, dell community support research, etc. and cannot find the solution. The internal computer screen does not work on my Latitude E6410, except if the display driver is disabled. I tried all the drivers on the Dell Web site (including previous versions). The laptop has the card Nvidia nvs 3100 m. I've updated to the latest version of the driver available from Nvidia, and it still doesn't work. However, I can use an external monitor using a VGA connection.

    Tried with Windows 7 x 86 and x 64. X 86 and x 64 Windows 8. Windows XP x 86 same results.

    The strange thing is that if I leave the compatible driver, I can see the screen flash Dell OEM and the beginning of the GUI of Windows boot, but once the driver is started, the screen goes black.

    Ran the Dell diag and video passages. I think the problem is driver/software related like the screen works, but once the driver is loading with Windows, the screen stops video production.

    BIOS is updated. All the other drivers installed.

    Any suggestions?

    Laptop is still under warranty, so if I have to I can get a mobo replaced, but want to exclude all other possibilities first.

    Thanks for all comments and suggestions.

    OK, so I finally found the fix (literally, this morning).

    After browsing the internet, I found another site where this driver was the recommended fix and it worked:

    http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails?driverId=R287174

    Now, my e6410 is not the nvidia driver and intel, only nvidia card.

    If your e6410 Intel and Nvidia, you may need to play with the pilots to see what will work the Nvidia driver (I'm guessing the driver Dell A08 works well).

    As a couple of my co-workers have the same e6410 and did not have this problem, it seems that the material appears to be the culprit, but only in the sense that a particular version of the Nvidia NVS 3100 m driver works with the Dell driver A08 and some will work with the driver Nvidia 302,80 (9.18.13.280) (which is installed by Windows as well). My Dell was purchases / delivered late 2010. My co-workers that Dell was purchase / shipped in early 2011. I don't know if the short time makes all the difference in what provided Dell (or correctly, what Nvidia to Dell Dell installed), but there is a difference.

    I also tried to upgrade the driver A08 (which is the version of the driver 8.17.12.5922 dated dated: 31/07/2010) to the 9.18.13.280 (as of: 11/06/2012) and it did not work. I had to go back to the 8.17.12.5922 to get the video to work again.

    My Nvidia NVS 3100 m firmware/bios version is: 70.18.53.00.04.

    I hope this helps anyone with this issue, but for now, it seems that the A08 driver is necessary for users of this issue.

    Good luck to all with this question, but I will now consider this matter resolved.

  • disabled dregol Firefox; How can I fix it?

    I thought I was downloading a new driver but I dregol.com and now I can't start Firefox. Can I fix or do I have to remove Firefox and download a new copy? Chrome has been affected, but I was able to replace dregol by google.

    Do you mean Firefox won't start at all, or Firefox bypasses your normal start page and go straight to the dregol? We will address this in two phases:

    The module bad elimination

    This is my procedure suggested to track down and cleaning of the bad modules. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.

    (1) open the Windows Control Panel, add/remove programs. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Do not be fooled by apparently innocent or important names if you do not remember having chosen to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
    • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
      firefox.exe "about:addons"

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. (Note: you will not be able to manually disable the extensions in Mode safe because they are turned off automatically.)

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?

    (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

    Success?

    Wrong attachment settings

    If your start setting has been changed, check the latter:

    (1) dialog box options, general Panel

    (2) clean the search parameters on the key menu '3-bar' (or Tools menu) > Options > Search (remove unwanted search engines, reselect your default)

    (3) remove any file "user.js" (optional parameter file that overrides the settings of your previous session)

    That covers everything?

  • How can I make Firefox never use plug-ins without my direct approval? (Take 2)

    As my old topic is "archived" and told me to ask a question, I'll do exactly that.

    As I asked here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/957837?esab=a & s = & r = 0 & s = as I need a way to control what does my browser and what is not. Because I treat PC as my property, no not being a sentinent who can do things on his own and tell me what I can or not do with it - like, "you have no right to delete this file" or "it is protected by XYZ".

    It comes with Firefox get plugins installed that I don't want and I can't delete them. It is not adware or spyware or malware, I wish not install false programs or cracks, play poker or watch porn movies. It's legit... plugins that I don't always want!

    For example, I don't want a Nvidia 3D plugin. I do not if it is safe or not, I don't want Firefox to slow even a millisecond for something I DO NOT want TO EVER USE. Not to mention, I don't have 3D nor will I ever. I'm not as Google Update of Microsoft Office or any other plugin. I need flash and only flash and everything else should never appear in my browser.

    I don't want to look constantly after Firefox to check if it has acquired some new plugins for me to turn it off. Because I am not a servant of my PC, am I?

    But the main problem is: I can't DELETE plugins! I can't! I can't seem to "never activate" them, but I can not remove. No option is there! Why? Why is there no option to remove a plugin? Why not at least tell me where is the resident plugin so I could wipe it?

    When I asked this before, I was told that something is in the work to counter that "later this year". Yes, is there an update? I don't think, because I googled and found nothing of all kinds (and plugins keep popping in my firefox plugins Panel).

    At this point, I'm open to any form of hack to deal with. I'm a programmer myself so I can handle a simple background or a custom Launcher firefox.exe application. Is there a place where he explained where the list of plugins is stored, so I could just write a program that erases everything I don't want him every time I run firefox? I can do something to prevent the installation of new plugins, programs or which intercept and delete them? No matter what?

    Thanks in advance!

    Ah. Thanks Philipp!
    Thus, in order to post the exact asnwer it here (in case someone else need), information is stored in one of these places:

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MozillaPlugins\plugin-id
    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins\plugin-id
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MozillaPlugins\plugin-id
    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions

    I tried to destroy the unwanted plugins (they were found in the first and second entries above) and it worked!

    So, all I need now is to write a small program that keeps track of the list of plugins that are allowed and wipe everything at startup of the system (or on request)

    PS: I have to mention, it's really crazy that I have to write a program to do something should have the built-in default browser. It makes no sense to go a big effort in preventing users from accidentally install modules ("someone you do not trust") when all executable code can easily and silently install a plugin without knowing user... It is really a huge security hole... And a nuisance as well.

  • How can I make Firefox stop downloads for a virus scan?

    Whenever I download something, especially the smaller .torrent files, Firefox or .jpg scan virus download. In theory, it's a good thing. In practice, at least for me, that means my browser is blocked as long as 2 minutes (average is closer to 10 seconds) while it scans the file that I have ZERO concern about a virus in the first place. Now, it is quite possible that because I'm not a nerd of the game my computer is 'slow' by elitist standards (2 GHz is slow? 2 MB of RAM is slow?), but that is neither here nor there; I want this 'service' gone and I want it gone now.

    You can disable the Firefox application for the downloaded file to scan.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press to enter.
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, this will then bring up a list of preferences.
    3. In the filter box, type scan
    4. Double-click on the
      browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone

      preference to change its value false

    This procedure stops just Firefox asking that the file is analyzed, your antivirus software is likely to scan downloaded files, especially executable files. If you want to disable this analysis (not recommended), you should check the settings of your antivirus software.
