DJPrice Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I recently updated to the latest version of FF. Since updating I have noticed when I close FF a FF process is still open & I have to kill it within cachemanxp each time. The process runs around 50% of the cpu. Here's the screenshot: Would be greatful for any help I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 First try disabling your Firewall/AV and see if that does anything, if not then I'd recommend:Export all your settings and write down your addons, remove Firefox from your computer, reboot and install it again, then first try using it with the default settings and then import your settings.

Bizarre™ Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Try completely unistalling Firefox, then reinstall.ORTry creating a new profile.Here's how: Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KotaXor Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Agreed with shought and Bizarre.Did you installed Firefox Optimizer, if you did......remove it....Firefox Optimizer will have a process running all the time, this is to ensure that you get into Internet much faster.Remember that Firefox Optimizer is installed in the same directory as Mozilla FireFox.I had tried it before, but found it not effective especially now Firefox 3.5 is much more effective that before.

Now up to 4 processes can be left behind! :D I don't know what is causing this problem, but along with true image home not working, I think I may format & reinstall, but don't really want to do that as it takes too long getting things back to normal!

KotaXor Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 After uninstalling, did you still see the processes? (firefox.exe).If you do, you will need to remove the registries or Firefox and delete the Mozilla folder in Appdata too.Clean it up before installing Firefox again.

Bizarre™ Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 @DJPrice:Do you still have the option to use System Restore?Try restoring to a date when you aren't experiencing this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KotaXor Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Last resort....use Combofix.Wait for it to scan and reboot your pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 7, 2009 Administrator Share Posted July 7, 2009 Which one you are using, I mean BETA or the normal one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJPrice Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 If any of you are following the threa over at mozilla, you will see the problem is sorted for me now. If your not then the problem was being caused by comodo safesurf. Here's the last post I made on the thread:- "Disabling SafeSurf in the settings & then exiting & finally uninstalling it worked for me with both FF & IE processes being left open after exiting them. Thanks guys for your help & solution to this, it saves me having to format & reinstall!" Thanks guys for trying to help me out with the problem ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Agreed with shought and Bizarre.Did you installed Firefox Optimizer, if you did......remove it....Firefox Optimizer will have a process running all the time, this is to ensure that you get into Internet much faster.Remember that Firefox Optimizer is installed in the same directory as Mozilla FireFox.I had tried it before, but found it not effective especially now Firefox 3.5 is much more effective that before.Funny you should say that, I downloaded it the other day just to check it out and see what it does. I went into the Help area of the program to get more details on the settings... What I found were setting changes which mimicked those in Opera.I, personally have better options using Fasterfox Lite... I am pretty sure a lot of you remember Fasterfox from version 2 of the program.. there were following full releases of the extensions released as experimental addons...Fasterfox Lite seems to be the best one yet.. using TurboCharged settings...I used to use custom.. but I am pretty sure I overloaded RFC specs...and possibly my connection at some point...LOL..but yeah Turbo seems to be more efficient...I also have Cfos Speed installed, and have used the Half-Open Limiter Fix.. which I have seen around.. though I believe cfos patches this when it is installed the first time.. which takes care of the whole system not just your browser..Also I seen someone mention 'writing down all of yur extensions.. FEBE is an extension that will enable you to back up MOST of your settings in FF, extensions, and themes( even the ones we've hacked ), accompanied with OPIE, you can also harvest your settings for all of them...in individual files or as one file.. I wish BossKey 0.1.8 would come up for version 3.5.1...that and LeetKey 1.4.2.. the only extensions I am missing as of late, though I have used MrTech Toolkit to make them compatible without issues until then....

KotaXor Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 You can use Fasterfox lite......no problem. You can also manually tweaks firefox setting (can be found in the Tut page).3.5.1 is already very fast. Not really necessary to tweak.cfosspeed is more for traffic management especially if you are using P2P downloading.I have use it and found it useful....but others might not agree.
