Browser is freezing every few minutes with facebook and not on other browsers, please help! i love mozilla, can't switch :)

hey guys,
im a devoted user of mozilla but lately whenever i open my facebook (or other sites with lots of adds) it freezes for like a minute, every few minutes.
I didn't have this problem when I used explorer nor when doing it on other computers.
so i bet the problem is with my computer but I can't figure out what.. :(
please help me! I hate all other browsers!
p.s. u guys rock :)

Are you playing Frontierville or Cityville or somesuch? Zynga games are HUGE resource hogs and if you try to pair them with Pandora or YouTube, things can go down really fast. You can also mitigate a little with an adblocker like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865/ adblock plus].
From reports of this that I've been hearing about, Flash 10.2 (which was a recent update) has been particularly bad with Zynga games. You can try changing your display settings in Flash (right click and select settings and then the first tab) but I would just suggest using just one game at a time. Adobe may be releasing a version of Flash that's better soon, so this may clear up if you update Flash, also.

  • Firefox freezes every few minutes for a few seconds.

    Firefox keeps freezing every few minutes, for a few seconds at a time. It's infuriating. It just happened right now while I was typing "infuriating". It's happened since I installed the Facebook Video Chat Plug-In, but I uninstalled that and it keeps happening.

    Probably an over active security or "cleaning" program that's kicking in every few minutes and messing with Firefox.

  • MICROSOFT FOR MAC FREEZING EVERY FEW MINUTES!

    Does anyone know why whenever I'm working on Word or Excel on my Macs, that every few minutes the application freezes, indicating that I have to go & kill 5-10 minutes before I can continue with my work?
    It's very frustrating :-(
    I'd be grateful for any help / advice.
    Thanks.
    Gareth

    Try repairing your drive for starters.
    For another, killing can leave open files corrupt.

    Ever since downloading osx Mavericks , my mac book keeps on crashing every few minutes. Doesn't matter what application I am using, system hangs every few minutes. I have been looking at Activity monitor closely. Following programs end up using a lot of CPU and hang a lot:
    SystemUIServer ( not responding -- several times )
    Google Chrome ( not responding -- several times )
    Google Chrome Helper ( not responding -- several times )
    PepperFlashPlayer ( not responding -- several times )
    Windows Server ( not crashing -- but using a lot of CPU resources - remains at top 5 CPU usage tasks. )
    Looking at Console app .. following programs cause a lot of crashes: ( Console itself was not responding several times I was looking at it )

    Is there anything else you would like me to post?

    StartupItems can slow your Mac down.
    Go to HD > Library > StartuItems
    Remove this:  ChmodBPF
    Restart your Mac.
    If it's still slow, open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items
    Remove Google Drive.  (iTunes Helper should not be a problem)
    Restart your Mac.

  • Playback problems every few minutes (with synced media)

    Every few minutes during playback of synced content there are pauses that last about a second or two. This happens with both video and music. Maybe a hard disk failure?

    Unfortunately your posting doesn't offer any relevant info and it is not easy to say why this happen.
    We dont know what have you dont in the past, which additional applications do you use and how your OS is configured.
    Try to start clean-up action and remove all useless stuff from your notebook. Check also all start-up options and disable automatic start for all applications that you dont need.
    Start with such simple steps. If the problem occurs again and again maybe is time for clean OS installation.
    Sorry but it is not easy to say what the problem can be.

  • Every few minutes I receive a "not responding" message and I can do nothing until it goes away.

    Every few minutes (sometimes in less than 60 sec., Firefox will hang up. If I try to keep typing I'll get a "not responding" message and will have to wait until it goes away to continue. This happens consistently when going through my e-mail, but it happens at other sights, whenever I have to type an entry. I have tried disabling all my add-ons and it still happens. I have deleted Firefox and reloaded it and the problem still occurs. I am on the verge of going back to Microsoft Explorer because it is taking far too long to navigate in Firefox. I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, on a one-year-old Dell laptop with plenty of speed, memory and hard drive space.

  • IMac Freezes Every Few Weeks With Black Or Coloured Screen?

    Every few weeks my iMac will suddenly freeze, the screen going black or white or pink etc.
    The only way I can get the computer back  is to hold down the power button to force a shutdown.
    Then after a restart everything is OK for a few more weeks.
    Usually it occurs when I am on the internet. I click on something and suddenly the computer is frozen. (I think it once did it when I pressed the "Post Message" button on the ASC !)
    I am on OS X 10.6.8 and usually use Safari.

    Get your AppleCare Protection Plan in gear fast! And be sure you're backing up regularly. I had a similar problem with my 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo that started 2 months before my AppleCare was due to expire. Worked with Apple phone support for those 2 months plus another few weeks (during which the problems grew worse) which were covered since I reported the problem before expiration. Finally wound up taking the iMac to an Apple store genius who replaced the logic board, video card, and disk drive (with a 1 TB drive). Works great now. I'm very thankful that I got AppleCare on this unit since I had a similar problem with my old G5 iMac for which I didn't have AppleCare, and it got worse and worse, finally expired, never to be resuscitated.

  • Why do I get a stall every few minutes with a "Pages unresponsive" error frame when using iCloud e-Mail?

    Friends:  Has anyone heard or seen a suggestion from any source on how to eliminate the several minute stall every several minutes when using iCloud E-Mail through any browser (Safari, IE-11, Chrome) on any Microsoft OS (WIN-8.1, WIN-7-SP1, WIN-XP)?  I've seen several other folks express frustration but have seen no actionable replies.
    Thanks,  George

    Absolutely no one posted a reply or suggestion in over a month.  Not even one.  So, I'm abandoning this query.
    If someone in posterity sees this post, please don't reply because it will not be monitored.
    Thanks anyway - GeorgeIP

  • IPhone 3G turns off every few minutes with new OS

    Greetings all,
    Apologies for not introducing myself in advance but I just want to get this issue fixed. I upgraded my iPhone to OS 4 and now the main issue is that when it is not plugged in it will just turn off after a few minutes of being idle. If I actually use it (i.e. keep the screen on) it won't turn off - its only a minute or two after the screen turns off that the iPhone actually turns off. I suspect this is a crash because I have to hold down the Power Button and Home Button in order to get it working again.
    However, if its plugged in it won't turn off! How useful! I've read over some topics (and still am reading them, thanks for all the help) but I'm not getting anywhere. I've deleted the ipsw file and re-downloaded it to no avail and am considering trying a new user account on Windows 7.
    Are other people having this issue? I was going to upgrade to the newest iPhone and give this to my little sister, but I don't think I'll upgrade now. She's rather upset about this.
    Thanks,
    Discopanda.

    Make a backup, if possible.  Restore it as new, if possible.  If issue persists, or you are unable to do either of those previous steps, consult Apple.

  • Broadband dropout every few minutes with HH4

    Sod's law. I was telling a neighbour how reliable BT broadband is, when the orange light started flashing on my router. This has been happening every 5 minutes or so for last 24 hours. I have done ALL the tests recommended via help, still no solution. I am convinced this is an exchange issue. Can you check? It's even dropped out whilst I'm typing this!

  • Since I updated 37.0.1 it started crashing every few minutes or so. I never had this case as far as I can remember

    it is just 2-3 days this is happening and happened after the latest Firefox update. I have FF on my system for few years and I haven't installed anything new. MY system restore shows only Chrome (from 41.0.2272.101 to .118) and Firefox (from 36.0.4 to 37.0.1) have been updated. Never experiences similar crashes. After few min or 1-2 hour, even staying in the few open tabs that I have had open for long time, it crashes. Two different behaviors. Sometimes shows me a window and asked to close or debug. Another time shows me a window that I can report the crash and restore the browser. Sometimes it also happens that as soon as I start it it crashes but mostly stays for while.

    We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
    #Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
    #Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste those IDs into the "Post a Reply" box.
    ''' Note:''' If a recent Report ID does not start with '''bp-''' click on it to submit the report.
    (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the IDs. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like.)
