What would make my firewall turn off for a few minutes every time I turn on the computer.

Whenever I turn on my laptop, the red icon shows in the task bar telling me that the windows firewall is disabled. I click on the ball and at the time that Security Center opens the firewall is turned back on. Anyone know why this is happening?

I appreciate all help. Thank you

  • Open tabs which unused for a few minutes is no longer working and make me lose the page on what it is.

    I like to keep an eye open at all times, and Firefox has recently begun to spoil my tabs while I've never had a problem with this before. I think it started after the last update of Firefox.

    As mentioned above, if a tab remains open but unused for a few minutes while he was working in the other tabs, logo of the site next to the title of the page (for example Amazon 'a' logo with the arrow below "Your orders" for example) is replaced by the green rotation ring that usually indicates the loading, but it runs a lot faster that it did when it actually does something. When you click on the tab to open it again, it's just a blank tab and I have to manually track down the page that I was again. However, when I disconnect my computer or restart it so that the legs have the rings of green spinning on them, the next time I open Firefox once connected to my computer, it opens all tabs and the correct pages, but that if I did not click on / open one of the tabs so that they had the ring of green rotation thus making their return to blank tabs. If I click on a tab with green spinning ring (making it empty), then log start/stop and reopen Firefox on connection back to my computer, Firefox will have indeed lost the information on the page and he re - opens in a blank tab, as it was when the system is disconnected. On top of that, if the tabs are doing this fast spinning glitch green ring, he did everything I'm working on the slow race, such as making a video shift watching on Youtube. If I see that happen, I am obliged to go click on the tab (loss of his data in the process) and manually go back to the page, that I was still just once so that it stops make the green ring of fast rotation and I can watch my video smoothly, but it lasts only a few minutes before these pages start the glitch green ring once more and I have to repeat the process. Another oddity of the note is that this only happens to the tabs actually, I click on and open during each session. If I restart or disconnect my computer and connect again and restart Firefox, the green ring glitch does not reach one tabs I don't touch during my session. It happens to the tabs that I actually open this session, but it happens to every single tab that I do, I opened this session.

    It becomes very irritating and it's working in Firefox a huge concern, as happens constantly. Please fix this. Firefox has never done this to me before, so I don't understand why it's happening now. I have not downloaded or installed the new plug-ins or add-ons for Firefox, so I know I did nothing to the program to cause this.

    Thank you for picking me up in it. I look forward to hearing back as soon as POSSIBLE and to find a cure for this problem. This glitch is driving me crazy.

    The current versions of Firefox use the sessionstore-backups folder to store a few copies of the sessionstore file to make it possible to recover a few errors caused by a bad closing down.
    The 'upgrade.js with the attached version identifier are created when Firefox is updated.
    Previous versions of Firefox created the file sessionstore.bak with the attached version identifier.
    So that look OK.

    You can start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    Hi Waseem,

    Dust accumulation is not in the fans themselves, but in the space between the fans and the CPU radiator, where it is trapped by the matrix of cooling.

    The technique of using a hose of vacuum cleaner against the fan grids is designed to suck the dust outside in front of the fans without having to dismantle the radiator.

    Obviously, you have just as much suction as possible in order to remove any dust, it is therefore important to isolate grids of aspiration air with a cloth.
