Why FF try to connect a Long number at startup

I use Linux Mint 11 and Firefox 10.0.2

Whenever I run Firefox, no matter what I choose in preferences, Firefox seems to be trying to connect to a number of eight digits instead of a web address. It just says: "go to a web site" in the address bar, connection... in the tab and connect to 123456778, or be it in the status bar.

I tried: changing the settings in preferences start.
using a different profiles.ini file
make a "mark for complete removal" in the re and synaptic Package Manager - install.

I thought about it!

It happens when I use a keyboard shortcut to open Firefox, if I click on a launcher, it is fine. It does not seem serious if I change the shortcut to a different key combination. Still a bit of a mystery but, well, I'll just use the Launcher.

Thank you very much for your help Vlvek. Wilfred

    I can establish an internet connection via internet explore using a router at home, but whenever I try to connect using firefox, it said that it is impossible to connect.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox without you informing on this subject, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container.

  • No event is fired when I try to connect to a farID who is already disconnected from Cirru

    Hi, I am trying to catch an event when I make a connection attempt to a person who has publish a stream, but that is no longer there. I'm getting no events, no NetStream.Connection.Closed or anything like that.

    What I do is simple, a client to connect to the Cirrus, then start publishes a stream, then it disconnects from the Cirrus. (NetConnection.close ()).

    Then another client, using the farID of the mentioned above, customer who was once publishing, try to connect to it. No error message, no event, nothing, it don't relate anything.

    However, when I type an invalid farID, like, let him say: '123456', I instantly get a NetStream.Connection.Closed.

    I would like to know why is - what happens, because I got a service running to the trade of fathi, and I would like to know when Im connecting to someone who already has long since disappeared.

    Thank you.

    It should be an event later, after a second 90 - ish.

    If you enter a completely invalid peer ID (not only composed of hexadecimal digits, not an even number of digits), you will get an error event almost immediately.

    If the peer ID is not exactly 64 hexadecimal characters long, it won't work, because peer ID are currently still 64 digits (256-bit).  However, he tries again, so you will get the error event after the timeout.

  • Processor becomes unreadable as soon as I try to connect to Wifi

    My laptop (Toshiba 7) started going very slowly at the time. The other night, the WiFi stopped working. I restarted the router, it still does not work if my phone has picked up the wifi without problem. I tried another new router that sky has sent to me, telephone and another PC he picked up fine, but the Vista laptop just hung.  I can connect with an Ethernet cable.  I cleaned the registry, I had already installed a better than stock Task Manager.

    It starts very well, it's a dual processor and two hearts fall to about 7% of idle.  I go to the network manager, he can see the Wifi connection, but as soon as I click it, the processors begin to run between 60% and 100%... I tried a driver update using an Ethernet cable, I tried resetting winsock and ipv4/6, I cleaned and optimized registry, uninstalled anti virus and activated the firewall off, all I can think about. I do not understand why the processor is going wild.  Once again, he gave not up looking for the connection and told me the connection could not be established, but usually it just sits there.  It runs for 2 hours, the processor is always on at 60% + on two cores, and which, apart from not having an internet connection makes the PC unusable...

    I'm using the Manager tasks shows 2 threads in the system, one using 100% of the base, the process is IIRC SMS, and an idle process system using 20 to 100%, which makes no sense me, until I try to connect to wifi, they are both showing around 7-10% which is what I expected when nothing is running.

    Can someone please shed some light on this? What can I do? reinstalling Windows is not an option, I have no more disks.

    Hello

    As you have cleaned the registry, I hope you did it manually and not with a downloaded program that the runtime is supposed to find problems in the registry.

    We do not recommend touching the registry unless you make manual changes to it after making a backup of the registry.

    Corrupt system files or malicious software are two possibilities for your problems.

    If you reinstall, we can also give you advice for this too.

    Hi all

    I am new to Oracle Apps, we I run my simultaneous program
    its taking too long to complete. How to find that there is a lock to produce in the table while that simultaneous execution of the program, another way to find why the simultaneous program takes too long to run and how can you speed up the process.

    Yesterday we made a few changes to speed up the process with our DBA to accelerate the simultaneous program

    The first simultaneous program takes 2 h 30 and after these changes taking 1 h 45. Please suggest it's okay

    Connected with the responsibility of the system administrator.

    Manager - set - Manager of the standard.

    Set the value of PROCESS like 15 (instead of 10).

    Set the value of SECONDS of SLEEP as 10 (Changed from 30).

    Any help is highly appricatable

    Thanks and greetings

    Hello

    I suggest you draw the simultaneous program and analyze the trace file. To do this, mark the simultaneous program as Trace enable (RESP system administrator, Menu simultaneous > program > define) and then run the program and download the trace file after dealing with tkprof. Check which are the staements who take most of the time and try to optimize them.

    It will be useful.

  • Why I can not connect on the accounts of Firefox to put in place the synchronization? FF30 + keeps telling me how please enable cookies; cookies ARE enabled, already tried Safe Mode.

    Exactly what it says on the Tin.

    Why can't I connect to Firefox accounts to set up sync to my laptop? FF30 + keeps telling me how please enable cookies; cookies ARE enabled, and I already tried Safe Mode. This has happened since the new Sync has been set up, so I think that nearly 30 FF. I'm now up to 34 FF version and it still does not work. I was not able to sync from the "update".

    Problem #1: Going to about: accounts and clicking the Get Started button Blue opens a blank screen. It's not even a prompt on the cookies. It's just empty. Screen attached.
    It comes from before the modules are disabled. If they are disabled in Mode safe, we go to the #2 problem.

    #2 problem: I've skimmed a thread (https://github.com/mozilla/fxa-content-server/issues/1017) and I tried connecting to sync through accounts.mozilla.com instead, but if the screen does not turn white while the modules are always enabled, "Enable cookies" warning are as far as I can get. Go to about: accounts in Mode safe mode gives the same result. I deleted all my cookies and my cache, FF restarted several times with and without active modules and still nothing. I browsed this forum of support for similar issues, and while other people have the same problem, no other threads have been solved yet. Several later versions of FF, it is far too long for this question still unresolved... Screen attached.

    I know where the Firefox Cookie Manager, and I have enabled all settings. I was even able to third party cookies (even though I shouldn't really because they are unnecessary). No difference. Screen attached.

    I looked into: config and looked up the word 'cookie' in names, but even this is useless to me since I am not a programmer and so ignorant of what mean really all of these parameters. Screen attached.

    I'm at the end of my rope here, guys. It has been for months. A year. Maybe more than a year. I don't even remember. I just got a new camera and I don't want to add all my Firefox information one by one. It doesn't seem to be a way to contact Mozilla directly, so... Someone help please...

    Ensure that you allow cookies for the domain of the accounts.firefox.com if you are not allowing cookies generally or use the cookie setting 'Ask Me '.

    You can check whether DOM Storage is enabled.

  • Too much like Samsung: why not try it?

    Apple users don't want all our applications, notifications or 'ways to use the phone' or 'like samsung or android phones." Which will lead more people to their market. What happened to the innovative apple, which launched the iPhone? Nobody had seen a scrolling screen [when deflected] front. Nobody had seen apps or internet the iPhone in a way he did.

    Instead of looking to make things look more uniform like other telephone companies... Why not try to do something nobody has ever done before.

    Optical Lafarge, for example designed glasses that will put the glasses of google to shame. There is technology out there to make a phone clears the screen. You could still have the top and the bottom of the iPhone is the black bar where your battery would be in place etc. so that everyone can have the phone, they always wanted: phone The Tony Stark.

    It is quite easy for you to understand if he arrived at the place of the apple logo on the back of the phone or on the bottom or a chassis etc, but why not "two" batteries Wireless charging. a redesigned (as your macbook) to adapt the new clear phone (bottom) and the second to be located in the other "non-transparent" part as a solar powered battery to make it load when your phone is just sitting on its own... Obviously not as fast as being connected or wireless... but nevertheless he would become the first HYBRID phone that everyone has been waiting for.

    This is how I think that APPLE should do things. Being innovative doesn't mean "do what that other people do copy and then try to do better." That's what competition is supposed to do. When apple came out with new phones from iPhone to iPhone 4, they put the competition to shame. I remember a commercial Android who says more 'fast as the iPhone.' A week later, a new iPhone is released and put that commercial to shame so it never aired again.

    It's the Apple, we know and love. So if you want to be ahead of the market for any other mobile device, then you will make a clear phone out of the gorilla glass or hard extra stuff that is currently in your watches, so it is not breaking when you sneeze and you put wireless charge, a second solar battery, and siri will continue to improve as you work toward him making similar to an AI interactive as she understands us.

    So I guess the question really is: apple decides to take these technological leaps, or can I apply for a job at the company to throw these ideas around? (half joking about that second part.
