Why Firefox 27.0.1 is so slow when I use the NVidia drivers?

Windows 8.1 using 64-bit and the last drivers Nvidia (NVIDIA Quadro FX 380). Firefox, it takes about 6 seconds to start. When I remove the nvidia drivers, Firefox starts quickly again.

You have enabled drivers NVIDIA and acceleration hardware tour?

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:

  • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
  • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  • 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:

  • Why my text will appear on my photo when I use the text tool?

    Using the horizontal type tool I can do a text box, but no text - the flashing light appears in the box and when I type any text will not appear. Although, in the layers of the right side panel, he named the layer what I typed then why it will not appear on the photo? Even if you do all of the other layers invisible text layer still does not appear on a white background.

    Help, please! My only other option I can think about is text transfer in other locations. Then I need to erase all white space around the text and its super boring.

  • RoboHelp 8 runs slow when you use the network drive...

    I have several users at my company who improved RoboHelp X 5 RoboHelp 8. They report that when they are working on projects that are located on a network drive, RohoHelp running very slowly (which never seemed to happen before with X 5). I read on several forums that RoboHelp must be used with projects that are on the local drive, but I can't find any formal recommendation to Adobe about it, or have no explanation as to why the network drive doesn't work well, I found. At Adobe all officially commented on it, and no one knows why the performance of the network drive is bad? Is there anything that can be done to allow my users to keep using their network without the poor performance? Thanks in advance for any help you people can provide, I'm stumped.

    Hello and welcome, Robo_Newbie

    You're about to become real Robo_Oldie fast

    Your projects RoboHelp MUST live on a local drive. You can archive them on a network, but NEVER actually open and change while they are on the network.

    The two reasons most people incorrectly assume that they should be on the network is because you want to share with other authors and you want to back up in case your hard drive goes down. These are valid reasons, but it does not work because the. DPC (a cache of the Access database file) usually becomes corrupt - not to mention latency LAN-related performance problems.

    Until most of us do is either use the free RoboSource Control that comes with RoboHelp or establishing a manual routine to copy your current job to a LAN for more safety and establish a routine with the other authors who will be working on what, when.

    Sorry to break the bad news. That is the reality.

  • Why is my "files and folders" service unavailable when I use the glance

    I did a service simple automator to open a file in Photoshop. I gave her the ctrl-opt-S shortcut in the keyboard for easy access preferences. I can now open images in Photoshop with a simple keystroke. It works, most of the time, and I noticed earlier why sometimes it is not. When that I view an image in the finder with peek, the service is not available, even in the menu. I just press the space bar to get out of the eye then I can reuse the service.

    This seems ridiculous because the file is certainly always selected in finder. Up and down arrows change the selection, but I can't use my service on the currently selected item in finder. I just need the services available for the glance.

    What can I do to make this happen?

    Hello

    So far I have tested under OS X 10.6.8 I do the service do not receive any system file objects in any application in order to make it accessible all at glance is active in the Finder. I don't know, but I guess that's a limitation specific to Automator services.

    A simple solution is to make the service receive no entry in any application and get the file Finder selection system objects. Using something like the action run the following AppleScript.

    The service properties:

    - Service receives [no input] in [any application]
    - [not] Replaces selected text
    

    Run AppleScript Action:

    on run argv
        tell application "Finder"
            open selection
        end tell
    end run
    

    For example,.

    In my brief tests under OS X 10.6.8 I can invoke this service via hotkey designated while running a quick look in Finder even in its preview mode full-screen.

    Good luck

  • SDO_RELATE slow when you use the Group of... Help, please!

    Hi all

    I'm pretty new on the space side of Oracle please go easy on me.

    I have 2 tables (a and b), each containing line geometries. There is a one (a) to many (b) relationship between the two.

    I want to write a query that selects the information of table b where geometries in table b are fully covered by the geometries in the table has, but the return info is grouped by rows in table a.

    Here is my code:

    Select
    a.Route_ID,
    a.Step,
    Max (b.gritter_status),
    Sum (b.salt_usage)
    Of
    tbl_routedirs a, tbl_routelinks b
    where
    a.Route_ID = b.route_id and
    sdo_covers (a.geoloc, b.geoloc) = 'TRUE '.
    Group
    a.Route_ID, a.step

    The application is extremely slow, taking up to 15 minutes to run... The thing that confuses me is the group by clause of the statement runs in less than half a second.

    I checked all the indexes, etc - are all valid. I tried to re - order tables in the clause that ive read it can be a factor and certainly I have little knowledge about what to Exchange where but it seemed to have no impact on speed.

    Any suggestions would be warmly welcome... Thank you.

    Published by: user8760008 on August 27, 2009 07:08 - I copied the script and do not add functions of aggregation on the selected columns...

    If this is the case, please try:

  • How can I stop Firefox from sinking my IP when I use the proxy settings?

    So basically I use settings from manual proxy on Firefox from time to time to be more anonymous. These proxies are normally rather slow (but hey, it's the price for you to pay for anonymity). Sometimes I'll see a sudden leap of speed. I suspected that the proxy may not work for some reason any. So, I use a website that tells you that your IP address is to see if the proxy settings are really working. Of course when I update the site it gives me my real IP. I have check the proxy settings and it turns out that the browser was restored to use the proxy settings of the system (for some reason that is the default instead of no proxy). This happens randomly and why not apparently when I use the Manual proxy settings and it flees my IP every time that happens (and I never know when it does, unless I am very attentive). Is it possible to prevent him from returning to the system without no reason proxy settings? BTW, I tested the proxy in question after what is happening so it still works which preclude the possibility of the proxy does not (even if that were the case, I'd rather my IP don't Connect at all that the leak). So yes, any help in getting it to stop doing that would be nice.

    Hi internetman, in your system more than details it shows as active. It may or may not be something, but try to disable in case it makes a difference.

  • 37 of Firefox crashes when you use the browser of peacekeeper test

    Hi guys, I've updated my browser Firefox 37 and it crashes on me whenever I use the browser of peacekeeper test. I had no problem using the website in the past. Whenever I update my browser I have run the test to compare previous results as well as compare results with Google Chrome.

    It works very well with chrome, but crashes 2 minutes FF37 test. I tried to run in Mode safe as well, but it still crashes. My plug-ins are up to date and I tried a refresh as well. I don't have any other applications while running the test, just the browser was opened with a tab. I am running Windows 7.

    Hi @user293, @jscher2000 , and @cor-el, thanks a lot for your comments and help with this question, I've had. I tried to disable WebGL and ran to guardian of peace, and it worked well. There is no crash.

    How to disable WebGL: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardwar...]

  • How to change the search engine when you use the functionality of Firefox Home button Search?

    In Firefox itself, I have configured duckduckgo as my default search provider.

    But when I use the host Firefox search button it is always defined on google and I don't see any possibility to change that?

    I love the Firefox Home button Search (or whatever we call it) otherwise, but it's annoying that it does not use the default Firefox.

    I use the Google Launcher now.

    Hi mrt181, it is planned to use the same search engine as in firefox - however, there is a bug at the moment, so it does not apply in all situations.
    usually, it will be enough to change the default engine in firefox back once to work around the problem in the search widget and get the same as set in the browser search provider.

  • Firefox does not open after the update. Cannot open the profile technical, even when you use the directory in cmd line path

    I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 computer. Firefox does not open after the last update. I read the help articles and it seems that I need to create a new profile because my settings were probably corrupted. I'm unable to open the profile technical, even when you use the directory in cmd line path. I tried the following commands in the command line:

    Firefox Pei
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla" PEI

    Nothing happens with every order.

    I am also running Norton Internet Security. I read a help of virtual navigation features Re article that can cause a problem. The article says to check the setting of virtualization in the internet security software and to clear the virtual cache. I went through all the menus of settings in Norton Internet Security version 21.6.0.32 and I don't see anything that looked like in "virtualization" settings, so I guess that does not apply to me. "

  • When I use the printer icon in Firefox, it is pre-set to 10 copies. How can I change this default single copy. Thanks for any information

    When I use the printer, in the upper left corner icon, it is automatically preset to 10 copies. I want only default copy. I can change it to one, but when opened, he's back to 10.

    Number of copies to print is not a parameter that Firefox is supposed to be saving, and I've never seen a preference for this in Firefox preferences panel hidden - about: config.

    Try of the reset described here and reset all the preferences for this printer:

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer
    Be sure to restart Firefox before you see if doing this reset solved your problem.

    If it solves your problem, please click the button solved it next to the answer that meets or solved your problem of Firefox support, it appears when you are connected, so this thread is marked as solved to help other users who may have this same problem.

    If that does not solve your problem, and defaults to always print 10 copies of everything through Firefox, please open help > troubleshooting... information and use the copy to the Clipboard and then paste this information into the box post an answer here.

    It's going to be a real long list, but all that I really need to see is the printing preferences, so you could paste all the information in a program such as WordPad text first, change the information that I can't see and then copy the remaining information and Paste only the information in the box to answer here.

    I wonder if there might be a pref I've ever seen, but I really doubt it. "Number of copies to print" has never been "stuck" for me on any program in Windows, on any PC I've ever used with any printer / print drivers.

    The only time I've ever seen a default "print dialog box" more than 1 copy has been with a working application where the program has been to force 2 copies of specific forms to print 2 copies all the time--one to give to the "subscribed" at the end of employment for their documents to the service call and one for the 'employee' obtain a signature at the end of employment with a fax in the Home Office for documentation of the task as completed successfully and for the purposes of the payroll while they would have paid for this service call.

    The reason why you see directions is not available, it's that for cards of Apple, turn-by-turn directions is not a feature that is available in the Qatar. You can search for places and satellite imagery
