Firefox version 39 and selenium version 2.45
I tried mvn clean install for my project but firfox always crashes when running tests locally.
Any solutions?

According to information you provided it is security issue, Windows 7 complaining, wild guess there is some kind of pop-up which is blocking further interaction.
Try to update Selenium to the latest version which is 2.47.1, see if it helps.
If it was working on previous version of the Firefox, then try downgrade browser.

Follow the below steps to disable popup and error reporting. This will help the selenium tests to proceed further.
Steps to disable Mozilla crash popup
1.1 Turn Off Error Dialog through Group Policy Editor
Open the Group Policy Editor by typing gpedit.msc into the Start search box or the Run dialog.
Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Error Reporting. Double click on “Prevent display of the user interface for critical errors” in the pane on the right.
Click on the radio button Enabled and then press OK.
1.2 Turn Off Error Dialog via Registry
Open the Registry Editor by typing regedit into the Start search box or the Win+R Run dialog.
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting
Double click the DontShowUI entry on the right and change its value to 1, then close the registry editor.
1.3 Disabling Windows Error Reporting
Go to Control Panel > Action Center > Change Action Center settings (top left) > Problem reporting settings.
Select “Never check for solutions” and click OK. Ask before checking also works because the dialog won’t appear to ask you.

JetBrains IDE Error on start : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

I have got this error, but hardly could find the solution after 2 times reinstalling my IDE and even I installed 'All in One runtimes' but it couldn't help since I think the problem originally started after I changed few settings in windows defender setting and then tried to reset them.
But sure others have reported this problem and had no idea of what had happend all of a sudden to get following error when trying to run the application:
JetBrains IDE Error on start : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)
*1 - which in my case was Phpstorm64.exe running on windows 10
I just felt there is no 'easy to find' solution for this occurring problem, so I decided to post it on Stackoverflow
In my case this was helpful and worked for me:
just disable ASLR (Address space layout randomization) from windows defender
in Windows 10 you should follow these steps:
open Settings (just right-click on windows start and choose
settings)
search for 'Windows Defender Settings' or just go to 'Update & Security' > 'Windows Security'
then open 'App & browser control', in the new opened window scroll down to the end to find 'Exploit protection settings', click
that
sort of settings will be shown and you can change the default settings. to create an exception you should click "Program settings"
(which doesn't seem to be a button,but it is!)
click 'add program to customize', in the dialog enter your ide name.exe (you can easily find it by clicking 'open file location' on
shortcut of the application)
in my case the application name was 'phpstorm64.exe'
next you have to look for 'force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR)' check the 'override system settings' and switch it off and apply settings.
I'm not sure if it's needed,but turning off 'Randomize memory allocations (Bottom-up ASLR)' stated to work for others
I would appreciate if you help to get a complete solution for this problem , thanks
The crash is probably caused by ASLR Windows feature, the relevant ticket in the JetBrains issue tracker: IDEA-184029
Please check if the following workaround:
Turn the feature off globally or for a specific executable path https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/customize-exploit-protection
helps

How to disable "file risk warning prompt" in windows 7?

I'm trying to edit a document from an alfresco repository using MS word via the AOS module. Unfortunately I get a warning prompt about this all the time.
The message in the prompt reads to this effect:
Some files can harm the computer. If the file information below looks
suspicious or if you do not fully trust the source, then do not open
the file.
I have so far used inetcpl to configure the trusted sites for the intranet zones and added the domains to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains
following the instructions from this site and some others (which all practically allude to the same thing) but so far I have had zero success in disabling the thing.
OS: windows 7
EDCM: Alfresco 5.2 with AOS
Browser: Internet Explorer 11
Your error message is not in English language, So it is difficult for us to understand which actual error you are getting.
If you are trying to open file via IE and getting security warning for opening a file then you can refer steps below to stop it.
(1) Open Internet Explorer.
(2) Go to Tools.
(3) Click on Internet Options.
(4) Select Security tab.
(5) Click button named as 'Custom level'.
(6) Find an option called 'Launching applications and unsafe files(not secure)'.
(7) Enable it.
(8) Restart the Internet Explorer.
Note: It is not recommended to enable this option for a security reason. You can try to make a test with it to check whether it can solve your issue or not.

ColdFusion debugger settings

When I encounter an error in a ColdFusion project I am working on, I get a very generic error message:
I do not see any of the debugging output that is shown in other screenshots I have seen, such as in a reference book I have or on ColdFusion websites. What option in the ColdFusion administrator will enable verbose debugging output to help me in my development?
Log in to the Cold Fusion Administrator. If you are running a Cold Fusion server on your local machine, the default URL is http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator.
Under "DEBUGGING & LOGGING", click on "Debug Output Settings".
Click on the check box next to "Enable Request Debugging Output".
If you look in the main admin page there is a Site-wide Error Handler option.
make sure that's empty as that stops any debugging working.
Steps to Fix
open CF admin Page.
click settings
scroll down to Error Handlers
remove site-wide Error Handler so its blank
click submit to safe the settings.

How to disable IE8 script error message?

I'm using CodedUI on IE8, and get this error message:
Stop running this script?
A script on this page is causing your web browser to run slowly.
If it continues to run, your computer might become unresponsive.
I've read some forums and did the following: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Browsing
Check the "Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer) checkbox
Check the "Disable script debugging (Other) checkbox
Uncheck the "Display a notification about every script error" checkbox
and this message still appears...
Can anyone assist me here?
IE has a registry setting for that
Error message: "A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly"
but that requires you so change the registry on each client machine and for each user.
It will however allow you script to run so you can profile it and find out whats causing the delay.
Also look at this SO question How to mimic effects of MaxScriptStatements (i.e. prevent “A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly”) without changing the registry?

Vista BEX error

Recently I got IE7 crashed on Vista on jar loading (presumably) with the following error:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BEX
Application Name: iexplore.exe

Additional Information 4: ea6f5fe8924aaa756324d57f87834160
Googling revealed this sort of problems is common for Vista and relates to Java (although SUN negates). Also I think it has something to do with DEP. I failed to find official Microsoft Kb.
So, the questions are:
What BEX stands for?
What is it about?
How to deal with such kind of errors?
BEX=Buffer overflow exception. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738483.aspx for details. However, c000000d is STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER; the technet article talks primarily about status c0000005 or c0000409 (access violation/DEP)
Java and IE7 do not like to play together nicely. Just turn off DEP, it will work fine then.

go to internet explorer options/ advanced /security/ uncheck the box that says enable memory protection to mitigate attacks this will work it did for me

Most likely there is an addon that is messing with IE.
You can try this.
1. Open IE
2. Switch to the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Reset Internet Explorer Settings button.
4. Click Reset to confirm the operation.
5. Click Close when the resetting process finished.
6. Uncheck Enable third-party browser extensions option in the Settings box.
7. Click Apply, click OK.
After this, check to see if it works and if it does, enable one addon at a time until you find the culprit. Then uninstall it and reinstall it if you need it.
just try disabling the bing or msn toolbar - should do the trick.
