Performance regression: after update of FireFox 18 permanent CPU high load

After the update, FireFox has started to eat a whole CPU on my laptop permanently 2 strands. My usage model (in regards to browsed sites and/or active plugins) has not changed, but I must admit that I am a big user of plugins.

I suspect the problem may be the result of a performance has changed behavior of a plugin as a result of the new engine FF18 JS, but how can I easily track this problem down. Is C possible to inspect the performance data collected (active) Firefox?

    This indicates that the site is by default an obsolete encryption encryption algorithm that is vulnerable to the attack of 'Blocking' which was in the news earlier this year.

    You can turn off these old present in Firefox to try to force the site to his game. Here's how:

    (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 search above the list box, type or paste dhe and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_128_sha to true to false (disable Firefox to use this encryption)

    (4) double click on the security.ssl3.dhe_rsa_aes_256_sha preference from true to false (disable Firefox to use this encryption)

    Then try your payment site. Any improvement?

    Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars".

    • Check in "view > toolbars > customize" "Bookmarks Toolbar items" are on the personal bar
    • If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the bookmarks toolbar, then FRY it in the toolbar palette in the window the bookmarks toolbar Customize

  • How can I recover my lost after updating to Firefox v33 tabs?

    Problem: After updated to v33, I am unable to restore my lost tabs and GROUP the tabs in my previous session, which was last night at 23:38 UTC

    Here are the steps I took:

    (1) history > restore previous session is grayed out.

    (2) I checked to make sure that I had configured session restore by going to Options > general Panel > when Firefox starts: show my windows and tabs from last time.

    (3) I clicked on Firefox > properties > Previous Versions. But since I have never set up any kind of restore configuration, there is no earlier versions available.

    (4) I tried to search the sessionstore.js file in my profile folder and replace it with my sessionstore.bak file because this file date has changed to 14/10/2014 18:38. However, I can't find the session.js file and the files only related to sessionstore I see are: session.rdf, sessionCheckpoints.json, sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.bak - 20140923175406.

    Help, please! I had a lot of tabs. I don't want to go to history to find my tabs one by one, because I also had groups of tabs that I didn't open in a month or more and each group of tabs have several tabs in them also.

    First of all, very important, please make a backup of all files that begin with sessionstore in a safe place, such as your Documents folder.

    If the .js extension does not appear on your file sessionstore.js (the session.js file), you can stop hiding file extensions windows, at least temporarily. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

    If sessionstore.js is completely absent, it's very strange. In this case, I suggest to leave Firefox and then rename sessionstore.js sessionstore.bak to see if Firefox can read this file when it starts again.

    There are a few techniques to extract the URL of sessionstore.* files which can be useful if sessionstore.bak is not useful.

  • After update to Firefox 32.0.3 print dialog box will not apear in Win7Pro/XP after awhile, but a restart of Firefox will allow him to appear again...

    After update automatically to 32.0.3 Thursday last Monday on the computers of all of our employees and boss both Win7 pro and XP pro, we saw Firefox sessions that will not bring the print dialog box. The print preview dialog box will return but no button print or print menu to display the print dialog box. After you close Firefox and reopen the print dialog box works again for some time. Web sites that use boss and staff during a session are different and appear to be the cause. Firefox settings are at fault because simply restart of Firefox just solves the problem and no other web browsers or application has any problem with the display of the dialog box print at any time. Again, that has started on all computers as soon as 32.0.3 was automatically installed during the night.

    Thanks Guigs2,

    Our users done restaring Firefox so I couldn't get this info.
    Now, it seems that the issue may have been corrected in v33.

  • the 'TV5 dictionary toolbar' extension does not work after updates of Firefox

    The French TV5Monde has a great toolbar called "the free dictionary of TV5Monde. After each update of Firefox, the toolbar disappears or doesn't work anymore. In this case, the "page not available" message. It's completely absurd, by going directly on the site of TV5Monde done dictionary appear in the dictionary.

    Thank you riegey for my problem. I have no other toolbar, so I couldn't adopt your way to solve. Nevertheless, I am happy that the problem has disappeared. I wrote to the French TV5 dictionary producer and asked them for a solution. I can't say if it was resolved, have not heard from them yet, but the toolbar works again as before the update of Mozilla. If the problem occurs again in the future, I'll take leave of Mozilla.

  • Can the "first run after update of Firefox" (aka. "What's New" and "Add-on compatibility check") be disabled?

    We intend to deploy an update to Firefox on our campus. The question I have is this: after the update, the "compatibility of the add-on Checker" appears, then the 'What's new' page appears during the first boot after the update. In this case: we use Deep Freeze to prevent kids to do any mischief based on software on the machines. But if we push the update at night, during maintenance windows, they will be frozen in the pre-first-time-run mode. So, whenever a student starts the PC after that, they will get the popup of compatibility both the "What's new" page

    Is there a way I can disable that during the upgrade, so that students will not have to click on these 2 points away? I would like for Firefox just silently disable incompatible modules and do not display the page "news". I found ways to do it, but they involve editing omni.jar and others. I'd rather have a formal, documented way to do this.

    Thank you!!

    Well, eventually nothing worked, except all the settings I wanted to put in part of mozilla.cfg. When I added your suggestion, and one I found on the web to disable add-on compatibility check, I finally have a Firefox that loads directly to the homepage, even after the upgrade.

    Here's what my mozilla.cfg file contains (to 6.0.2):

    // Disable any auto-updates.
    lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);
    lockPref("extensions.update.enabled", false);
    lockPref("browser.search.update", false);
    lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");
    lockPref("extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0", false);

    Of course, I must make the byteshift-13 at it, but copy the Core\ file and the file firefox.js to Core\Defaults\Pref\ the round is played.

    Thanks for the help!

  • Do I have to re - install my modules manually after updating to Firefox?

    Hi, I've recently upgraded to Firefox 39 (I still have to upgrade as soon as updates are available). However, as a result of the update all my modules disappeared. There is a folder on my desktop called old data Firefox which I assume, contains details of the previous installation, including Add-ons. Is it possible to automatically restore add-ons, or do I have to manually download and re - install? I understand that some of the Add-ons is perhaps not compatible with the current version of Firefox, but some of them will be always compatible.

    When you update to Firefox, it automatically checks your modules and updates compatible versions where possible. If an add-on cannot be updated and is no longer compatible, Firefox it turns off.
