After (or while) running firefox one certain game locks up computer

This occurs with only one specific game. I can play the game after I boot up the computer. If I have run Firefox (or am still running it) then try to sart this game the computer completely locks up and I have to turn the power off to restart the system.

It is 4 hand partnership hand and foot from sac-irca. I solved the problem by checking compatability mode. Now ot works!

Yes, that's normal and nothing to worry about.

Firefox works incredibly slow (as in the window is barely functionable, not anything related to bandwitdh speed) when I'm running certain games on my computer.

Hello,
During the past month i have had a strange problem with my Firefox browser in certain situations. The issue is only apparent when running certain 3D games (Most frequently when I run Diablo III). Whenever these games are loaded my Firefox browser will work incredibly slow. This is not an issue of a bandwitdh problem or such, the loading speed is fine, but the actual mouse clicks, bookmark clicks, keyboard inputs etc. take several seconds to register.
I have tried running Firefox in failsafe-mode which immediately made the problem go away. However, whenever I run it in regular mode the problem will be back even if I disable every single addon and plugin. I have also tried reinstalling both firefox as well as my addons and flash player, the issue stays.
For what it's worth, any other browser I have installed does not experience the problem at all (despite having the same few addons installed - I only have 3 of them).
Does anyone have a clue what the issue might be? Does the failsafe-mode inactivate anything besides the addons and plugins listed in the addon-section?
Thanks in advance

Wireless mouse will not work at the top of the page on ANY website while running Firefox 7.0.1

I am currently running Firefox 7.0.1 and have not had many problems until today. I have noticed that my wireless mouse will not work at the top of any website. This means I cannot log into many sites. I have also noticed that during page downloads, I have to move the mouse in order for the page to load or it just pauses. Any help would be appreciated!

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Anyone know why the Finder in OS X disappears while running Firefox?

Finder disappears while using Firefox, but is viewable with Safari. Anyone have any solutions?

This is basic Mac understanding. The Finder does not quit, it is backgrounded each time you start, or switch to, another application, and resumes foreground status when you follow one of the choices below.
In your example, Firefox is running (application or version doesn't matter). You want to open a Finder window. Your choices are:
Click a mouse button anywhere on your desktop background to make Finder current. Finder keyboard commands now also work because you also have keyboard focus.
In the current application, press command+tab to see all running application icons. If Finder is already highlighted, you can press return, or if not, use mouse or arrow buttons to select it.
Move your mouse to the Dock and click on the Finder icon.

Firefox.exe (32 bit) continues to run in the background after closing, Im running Firefox (64 bit).

After browsing the web and downloading items from websites, with Firefox's built in download manager, then closing Firefox I'll have to open my task manager and manually stop the 32 bit .exe. Im running Firefox (64 bit) on a Win7 (64 bit) system.

I am running FireFox 3.6 on a secondary computer running XP. I am constantly getting reminders about updating, but warned that my free AVG won't work

It always says that a fix is coming, but never seems to be delivered. I am happy to upgrade to FireFox12 but not until the virus software will work.

AVG will still be working after you update to Firefox 12.<br />
That message is more likely about ad-ons added by AVG to Firefox.<br />
Extensions that AVG might add to Firefox may stop working, but we already see a lot of issues reported caused by some of them (e.g. AVG Safe Search) that it may be better to leave them disabled anyway.

Bridge Freezes While Running Firefox

Has any one else experienced the same problem? Bridge CS3 will freeze up if Firefox 3.0.15 is running at the same time. It seems to me that Firefox conflicts significantly with Adobe CS3 such as Bridge and Photoshop. If I force quit Firefox, Bridge and photoshop will un-freeze. I have expereiced this with Bridge CS4 and Firefox once as well. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks so much in advance.
PS. I am using OS 10.5.8

Not aware of problems with Firefox, at least, this is the first time I hear
of it.
But I wonder why you are using Bridge CS3 when you have Bridge CS4. If you
for some reason would like to open the images in CS3 you can set this to the
preferences for Bridge. Bridge CS4 is far better then CS3
And also the question, why do you use Firefox 3.0.15 while the current
version is at 3.5.5 ?
I'm not saying you need to update right from the moment it is available but
CS3 is several years old and also Firefox is 5 upgrades further in the list

Plugin-container.exe is using 90-100% CPU - even while running Firefox in safe-mode. Can I fix this?

I am using fire fox 5.0 (after using 3.6 for what seems like forever) and the plugin-container.exe has been sucking up my CPU power like a vampire. It had been doing that in 3.6 but not as much. I figured if I upgraded the problem would go away, but no, it has not. After reading some other similar posts, I ran Firefox in safe mode with no plugins running and sure enough after browsing for a bit it started running slower and used 90-100% of my CPU. Is there any way to fix this issue? Or am I doomed? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

That's supposed to show you the problem isn't Firefox, don't know how successful that actually is. You can delete it so that it starts up again. Susggest restarting Firefox when you see it has used about an hour of CPU time as the next hour of CPU time will take shorter to get there and you will be locked out.

Humming while running firefox

Whenever I browse the internet for more than a minute or two, my powerbook starts to hum.
Its not a spinning up sound, like the hard drive has started working. It is much louder, and sounds like something is working TOO hard. the humming comes from under the keyboard, more to the left than right, but not significantly more.
Sometimes after it has been humming for a couple of minutes, firefox starts to lag and occasionally crashes.
I had a similar problem to this last year, and it ended up being the hard drive, but I replaced it and since then it has been fine. Also, when it was the hard drive, there was nothing regular about when the humming started. It would just start anytime, no specific trigger.
I ran a hardware test and everything checked out ok. I also check my RAM, and both cards are recognized.
Could this just be my computers sick way of telling me I spend too much time on the internet???
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My PowerBook and iMac both will rev up just sitting at NBA.com for example, a graphics intensive site at times.
Run Activity Monitor from the Utilities folder and watch what is going on.

While running Firefox 3.6.8, pc reboots when manually moving forward in flash video!

I loaded a video from Radio-Canada Tou.tv site. If I let the video run for a little while, and then I drag the time bar to move forward in the video, that causes my pc to stop and reboot every time!
I have accessed the same video with Internet Explorer and the approriate Adobe Flash Player and everything ran well.

Hi Vinny, LOL, I had the right thread, just the wrong link!! I was on several sites researching and that google link was one of them but didn't intend to post it to you:-)

On that FF, I couldn't find anything helpful on the forum there. I think I'll look elsewhere.
Thanks,

Operating Windows 7 Home Premium, 2 user accounts. Running Firefox one user can stream audio and video, the other cannot. Can anyone help?

Two accounts set up. One can stream audio and video using Firefox, the other account cannot. The account with cannot stream a/v is able to steam a/v using (gasp) MS Internet Explorer. Is there some setting I have screwed up?

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

I'm running Windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6035 while running Firefox 4 Beta my video card crashes on a regular basis. Solved it by uninstalling Firefox 4 Beta and running Firefox 3.6. Update for a Firefox 4 Beta?

After installing Firefox 4 Beta my graphics card keept crashing on my laptop. After looking at the reliability report on the laptop i noticed that a key event that happend shortly before the video crashing began was that i installed Firefox 4 Beta. From this i uninstalled Firefox 4 Beta and went back to Firefox 3.6. My laptop has not had a video crash since then.

Thanks for your reply! Actually, yesterday I upgraded to the new kernel (version 3.4.3-1) and my laptop has not freezed since then. So, maybe I will wait for a couple of days and hopefully mark this as solved.
