Problem with ESS and firefox

when using firefox CPU of ekrn.exe goes to 90+. the same when using IE7.
after uninstalling firefox the problem didn't happen in IE7.

p.s. how can I disable the ESS logo when windows starts?

 

Right click the taskbar icon
Select: Advanced setup
Select: User interface
De-select: Show splash-screen at startup

 

Firefox is making me problems , too , especially on XP computers . But they are not related to EAV/ESS.


1. Open the user interface (GUI) and press F5 to open the Advanced Setup tree
2. Goto Web access protection -> HTTP -> Web browsers -> Active mode and make sure nothing is checked there

3. Navigate to Web access protection -> HTTP -> Web browsers and make sure no application is checked there

4. Goto Personal firewall -> Protocol filtering and make sure you have checked "HTTP and POP3 ports only"

Reboot the computer and try again !

 

No problems with Firefox here in XP, need some help?

troubleshoot

Mozillazine Knowledge Base seems to be down right now, but there's a standard diagnostic page there that might help.

 

I do have trouble here too -is it 2.0.0.12?

How can I go back to 2.0.0.11?

I don't understand why Firefox is giving problems. I run mine with lots of extensions:

Noscript, Adblock Plus, Answers, Colorful Tabs, Fasterfox, Forecast Fox, Webmail Notifier, Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer, IE Tab, Tab Scope and Time Tracker.

I have 2.0.0.12.

I have it set up in ESS as a web browser.and under Protocol filtering it is set to: Redirect traffic for filtering for - ports and applications marked as internet browsers or email clients.

I didn't set it up to use active mode.

Even with all this going on Task Manager shows the CPU consumption to range between Zero and thirty percent while I am web browsing.

I have XP x64 edition.

I wouldn't blame Firefox or ESS for that. It's working great here.

 

Standard diagnostic - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

Not the right solution, see here:

Sticky: Problems after Updating Firefox - MozillaZine Forums

Fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.12

 

I get the same when starting Firefox or Winamp. Has started during the last week. Makes start up painfully slow.

BTW
I'm using XP pro on a relatively slow computer (Pentium 4 2.66GHz)

 

flash7, patch - can you send ESI logs of your systems to support eset com?

 

I followed the instructions

....
Which fixed the Firefox problem for me. Logs not sent as problem is now gone.

The problem with winamp still persists but as I suspect it relates to https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=192950 further discussion should probably continue there.
