Is some one piggybacking off your wi-fi signal?
On my Wi-Fi router, I've restricted access by MAC address, enabled WEP2, don't broadcast my router name, AND set a monstrous key (I think it's close to 30 characters). The only devices that can connect are our phones, our iPads, and our laptops. The rest of the house (every room) is hard-wired, so we don't have to stream movies over Wi-Fi, because wi-fi is (by its very nature) speed-limited.

You got me thinking now...
I was in my router home page last night and there's probably 20 devices connected.. some with bizarre names. I know for sure we don't have 20+ devices connected.

I'm running the same setup as you, although I do broadcast the SSID, mainly for convenience when sitting on the patio, half way between the two hot-spots.

My first suggestion - my wife didn't speak to me for a day, having made up for it in advance with a 30 minute harangue about trees, global warming, the beauty of the garden etcetera etcetera.

Got a customer running Windows 8.1 as a server, they are running a third party product to enable multiple RDP.
It has been working for years and has all available Windows Updates installed.
Yesterday Firefox updated to 50.0 and since then if it is started by anyone they get Bad news first this tab has crashed. Event viewer shows faulting module to be MSVCR80.DLL 0xc0000005.
Can't find anything useful on Google and I have uninstalled and reinstalled having deleted the left over directories as I saw in one advised fix. Also downloaded and installed VC++ 2005 SP1 redistributables x86 and x64, didn't help.
Anyone got an answer for this?

My solution would be to take up drinking, but sadly, that arrow is long gone from your quiver of coping strategies.

I don't know exactly what's going on, but I've found FF 50 and 51 beta much less stable and more crash prone than 49 was...

They aren't stable, they're stables.

You could also look at this as a possible culprit.
I've 50.0 on two Win7 machines and not crashed (so far).

How about setting up WinDbg symbols[^] and then setting up the FireFox symbols[^] and finally launching FireFox?
I often wonder how the members here on codeproject even get a job... when they can't even do basic debugging.

Eat a dick Dave. Not my code, not employed to program and not about to debug someone else's f***up. Was looking to see if it was a known issue that I couldn't find anything on.

Profanity is not necessary. I am just trying to help. All systems administration certifications whether it be LPIC, RHCE, VCP6-DCV or even MCSE would require that you learn some operating system debugging skills. You would be more valuable to both your customer and employer with debugging skills.
The 0xc0000005 error code is an access violation. It could be caused by an anti-virus or other third party products installed on the operating system. The 'faulting module' being MSVCR80.DLL is unusual as this is the C runtime that millions of applications use. A complete call stack would be much more useful... the module calling into the C runtime is likely the cause... but you would need the complete call stack to see the caller.
Now we have gone full circle... use a debugger... takes literally less than 5 minutes to find the exact cause.
Best Wishes,

Hi All,
All ads on TV seem to spouting 'Black Friday Sale' (which lasts a week?) but was this a common thing in the years pre-Amazon. It has only become a thing since Amazon named it black Friday.
According to uncle Google & Wiki-wotsit it was the first day that shops in the US ran on a consistant profit rather than in the red. So why are we now celebrating it?

The lure of filthy lucre, I'm afraid. 
It's another excuse to unload a pile of unsold tat on unsuspecting customers by offering loss leaders that run out quickly and hoping you pick up a pile of junk at the same time, I think. Certainly the Amazon ads I've been getting emailed to me for a week or so would bear that out.
[edit]
Just had another one: "Dash buttons". You stick them on the wall, or washing machine and when you run out of something you press the button, it connects to your WiFi and emails you to remind you to buy it.
Or, if you have kids, it gets pressed a million times a day just to annoy you.
[/edit]

Well, pre-Amazon I remember pre-Christmas sales, just not being called Black Friday...
Also thos dash buttons I didn't really pay much attention to but presumed it added the item to your Amazon order, always seemed a bad idea with Kids (or my Friends)...

|

I'm sure Amazon would love it if they did - but how quickly would they get hacked? 
This IoT stuff is getting stupider and stupider...

Sounds like the dumbest idea ever. Who comes up with this kind of tat?
