Start page Mozilla Firefox causing extreme memory leaks?

For some reason, when I opened my Firefox today, so bad that I have my computer crashes all also blocks... Even if I close and reopen Firefox, it still hangs... So the only option I have is to complete the process... However, if you wait long enough after my crashes Firefox, it won't hang on and working normally again. For this reason, I did a little investigation to know what could be the cause why my Firefox keeps hanging after the start, and I found an answer to this. I discovered that my Firefox Start Page was the main reason why it crashes. I have concluded that, because when I changed my home page to start on a blank Page, it does not crash, and whenever the Start Page is displayed, I noticed that the firefox.exe process on my task manager going up to 1 000 000 + K of memory... which is obviously abnormal... So the question is, how do I fix?

See response of cor - el on my page of problem (I had the same problem) a solution that works:

    You can try to install https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools or https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/background-image - I think that they should allow Firefox to have a background image on the new tab Page, as it is in opera.

  • My start page for Firefox has no internet or great, address only the Google search box area.

    Before the last update of my Mozilla Firefox, the start page for Firefox contained one area internet address to the top of the screen, where I could enter a Web address and go success. She also showed the Google search box in the middle of the screen.

    Now, after the update of Firefox, the start page shows that the Google search box. There is no internet address box or an impressive "box", which, according to my reading of the new features, is supposed to have replaced the internet address box.

  • Can I put in start page for Firefox with a different search engine, not Google?

    I remove all things 'Google' from my computer. I want the Start Page for Firefox, because I can get to options, modules, etc. and I don't want to lose this.

    Easier is to select the preferred search engine in the search bar on the Navigation toolbar to see the name of this search engine in the pref browser.search.selectedEngine and copy its value to the browser.search.defaultenginename pref.

    Firefox should use this search engine on the subject: home page after a closing and restarting Firefox.

    If this isn't the case, then you can have an extension which is predominant, especially if the pref change.

  • I currently have Firefox 9.0. Why the start page for firefox keep telling me that I don't have the latest version?

    I currently have Firefox 9.0. Why the start page for firefox keep telling me that I don't have the latest version?

    You may need the old start page. Go to Firefox > Options and in the pane general, under Startup, click on restore by default. The page you have probably (http://google.com/firefox) only served to 3.6 (and tells you you are outdated), but some users seem to have gotten stuck on it after updating to Firefox 4 or upper version.

  • How to stop the tab 'Getting started with Mozilla Firefox' to open every time I open FF?

    Everytime I open FF, the tab "Getting started with Mozilla Firefox" opens. I checked and it is not in my list of homepage.

    If I open any additional windows, it does not open.

    But, once I close all the and reopen it again, the tab opens.

    I had a similar problem with some addons (ietab) do the same thing.

    I found the fix for it.

    About: config, filter for 'Start '

    Ones you want to should appear at the bottom.

    Startup.homepage_override_url and startup.homepage_welcome_url

    Double-click on each one and delete the text string. Close and reopen the window to check that it worked.

    As I deleted them both at the same time, I'm not sure who was the culprit. So, I suggest starting by striking first and tests before deleting this one.

  • This will cause a memory leak?

    Hello

    I have a question about how AS3 garbage collection.  This will cause a memory leak?

    var firstVector:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>;
    var secondVector:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>;
    
    firstVector.push("foo");
    firstVector.push("bar");
    // firstVector now contains foo,bar
    
    secondVector.push("baz");
    // secondVector now contains baz
    
    firstVector = secondVector;
    // firstVector now contains baz
    

    'Foo' and 'bar' exist in memory somewhere now?  In other languges such as Objective-C, if the first vector cannot be erased first before being assigned the second vector data, the first vector data, then that is not accessible, still exist in memory.

    Thank you!


    I think that they stayed in the memory, but we can't reach them because they do not have a reference variable.

    in java, we know that the String class is immutable.

    ArrayList - vector in AS3 - is also immutable too.

    so when the flash vm excute the first line:

    1 - vm will create two ref first, vm and the second table set the size for them like it by default size

    2 - the vm will creat a new string 'toto' in reference 0 of the firstarray - you learned in Assembly.

    3 - Add a new string 'bar' in 1 side firstArray address in memory

    4. new 'baz' and assign the secondArray mention

    the importance is here

    now when you equal first with the second, just by moving the pointer in the first table to the "baz".

    Baz has therefore two now first and second reference table

    foo and bar will remain in the memory, garbage will delete them after some time cause there are no variables that were

    You can also call garbage collection operation by:

    flash.system.System.gc ();

  • Restore the old logo of firefox in the start page for firefox &amp; lose crazy tail Fox logo

    Within the last few days my regular firefox logo appearing on the firefox start page has changed on my desktop (windows xp) and two laptops (windows 8 and windows 8.1). All changed logos at the same time. The normal logo (globe portfolio blue orange fox) is now an orange Fox (globe portfolio) with a tail of control crazy that encircles wildly around the world a couple of times. Is not cute & compact but instead takes a lot of space and really bothers me. Firefox has been one of the rare browsers that I have the right to make the automatic updates, but I'm going to change these settings, since I had so much trouble trying to change the rear logo. My history of update watch 32.0.3 update has been installed on 24-09-14 & put update 32.0.2 installed 30-10-14, which seems odd to me since 32.0.3 would seem to come after 32.0.2. (There is no cartoon character saying "click me" nor is there excerpts, and I don't want to block the ordinary brand logo, I just want to get rid of this crazy tail logo).

    I appreciate your help on this as this crazy tail logo is driving me crazy!  Thank you very much.
    

    The change of the logo on the default home page is temporary for various promotional campaigns that Mozilla is run. Unfortunately, it seems to be the 'new normal' now. When he started last spring, it was like once every two months for a week or two, but now it looks like a 'week', then in another week or two another promo starts.

    Follow cor - el's guidelines to lock the "excerpt" from being downloaded, then clear the current "SnippetsMap" via the Web Console.

    Or, just set your own choices for your home page.
