Every 5-20 minutes firefox stalls (not full crash)
Windows 7, 6.0.2, http://i.imgur.com/qBmF9.jpg shows addons installed. issue has existed 2-3 weeks now. Firefox "stalls" (not a crash, just blue-circle, screen goes white, not responding) for approx 20 seconds, every 5-20 minutes. Sometimes random, sometimes seems to be triggered by opening new tabs, especially many new tabs. Does not happen in chrome, haven't tried IE. I had upload ping issues with my router, fixed them, problem persists. I can switch to other programs during the stalls, only firefox slows down. Any help?
Sorry for the terse writing, I wrote this in the question box before realizing there was a details box I would be given later on.
Other information - Sound will still play, such as from youtube, up to the point where the buffer ended.

Every 10-15 minutes I find that clicking a link in a webpage or selecting a bookmark will elicit the white error page message that the target page could not be loaded; usually (but not always) I will be told that my internet connection "does not seem to be working". Other programs accessing the internet are not affected. The problem usually solves itself if I close FF, wait 2 minutes, and start it again, which is not really practical. The problem occurs both on a home network (wireless) and an office network (ethernet). FF3.6 has been problematic since I updated to it (esp.: slow to open); I have tried un-installing and dropping back to 3.5, but FF has twice updated to the most recent version (6.7, then 6.8) without asking whether I wanted this.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to Firefox 3.6Just an addition: when the connection drops out, the Windows 'error' sound occurs.

Power outages are only a few seconds long as the power company switches providers. Happens once about every two weeks. If in a Firefox session, Firefox will not reopen for four to five minutes after the computer is restarted. When it opens, it does not return to the previous session with an error message that essentially states "Gee we're sorry and embarrassed". I am using Window's Vista with Firefox as my default we browser. Firefox is up to date with the latest version installed.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
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") -
After upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) beta, Firefox will not open. A crash report is generated each time. Looking at all the crash reports, they specify the IcedTeaPlugin.so @0x7cec as the point where the crash occurs.
I was also having the same problem but it disappear once I removed the icedtea plugin from synaptic. After that I tried to re install the icetea plugin again and there was no issue in firefox, it started normally.
My icetea6-plugin version is 6b20-1.9.1-1ubuntu3 -
Firefox hangs (freezes) when I press keyboard keys on my laptop (and only then).
Can't type URLs or scroll with the keyboard, for instance. Hence why this is being typed up on Internet Explorer. The problem is that my version of IE isn't registering Flash and/or Java as being fully active and up to date and I use Firefox more often.
This problem only appeared this week but now occurs every time; and has persisted after uninstalling and reinstalling (personal options uninstalled).
Firefox version most recent 3.6 iteration; 3.6.13
HP G62 Notebook PC with 2GB RamDDR2 and Athlon AMD II P320 Dual Core Processor;
System running Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit
I can't even copy and paste because Ctrl+C is a keypress!

Firefox is not creating crash reports even tho Submit Report is checked
I upgraded to Firefox 4 sometime late March, and it crashes regularly. Firefox last crashed regularly when the plugin container used by Digital Chocolate in Facebook crashed. I upgraded all the plugins, then upgraded Firefox. Now Firefox 4 crashes regularly while running SD in FB, signified by blurred vid & no mouse/keyboard, requiring hard reboot. And Firefox hasn't generated a crash report since Feb 4, 2011 even tho Submit Crash Report is checked
Im not sure about this. But I saw the crash report and it looked like JavaScript failure. You might want to try to update your Java at http://www.java.com
Thanks.

Hello this is happening to us also (minus the Bluetooth speaker). We can't figure out what is causing the data usage. I turned off mobile data as soon s I activated the device, and got the message that unless I am connected to WiFi.....(that is exactly what I wanted). We watched Netflix for about three hours, then the alerts started. Like you we have many devices connected and never used over 2GB now all of a sudden we have used it in a matter of hours. My husband called Verizon and got the usual doubting Thomas response. I understand that they don't know my device settings. So over the phone we check all the settings and turned off every possible culprit eating up the data and end the call. By now I have purchased another gig for the month! Assured we are NOT using mobile data, we continue on the IE path to bliss. HA! A few hours later I check the mobile data usage on the Verizon website and that darn thing is still using data. After two more phone calls and two VERY uneventful trips to the local store we were told to take out the sim card. This has stopped the data usage, but it defeats the purpose of having the data plan. I could have just stuck with my Surface. Verizon sent us a new sim card. Its been installed and I have set my homepage to Verizon mobile data usage (just kidding) but I am on that site a lot. I am surprised at the number of complaints about this device. When we called the Verizon support acted as though this was the first time they had heard about this. Loved your post, you should write for a living.

I am desparate to set my homepage to http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en
However, even after manually setting it to the site I want, every time I restart Firefox it has reverted to http://www.searchqu.com/406
I have tried every solution that I have found in Firefox help, but to no avail.
I have only recently changed to Firefox and am impressed with the way it works with this one exception, which is driving me mad.
PLEASE, PLEASE can anyone out there help?Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

OS completely stalls for 1-2 minutes about every 5-10 minutes
Hi there,
I find that my OS completely stalls for 1-2 minutes about every 5-10 minutes and not clear why. I am running "top -o cpu" from the shell and dont see a process that is hogging the CPU. One issue is that top even stalls with the entire machine.
I am using an MBP duo core 2 with 2GB of memory.
rebooted from the OSX DVD, ran disk check, and the disk is fine.
What is a suggested way to isolate the trouble.
Cheers,
NoahDisk Utility First Aid doesn't do as thorough a job checking as Alsoft Disk Warrior.
Use SuperDuper to copy your drive to another drive. Try running off that to test things out.
Also, if there are changes to Disk Utility in 10.5.2, using the DVD is fine if you must, but better to run off a hard drive.
Safari's cache grows huge and needs to be reset or deleted from time to time
~/Library/Caches - those are all rebuilt if needed.
Most system stability problems with cache though are in
/Library
Try a new user account after you clean out as much temp files, logs and 'junk' as you can.
You might also install OS X to a small 20-30GB partition just for repairs and emergencies, in addition to a bootable working copy.
If you don't want SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner is also a good option for backup and cloning.
Disk Warrior though is the best way to keep a drive healthy, used regularly for preventative drive repairs along with backups.
Onyx and Tiger Cache Cleaner are designed to help with numerous system maintenance tasks. Buit-in help, terminal command 'man' pages and more.
And try a Safe Boot into your "test" account AFTER you have backups and make sure your drive really is A-OK. -
Bought a new monitor.. wide screen 23"... Firefox is not filling the full window. IE works fine but I prefer Firefox. What do I need to do to fill entire window, not just the way it was with the old monitor? edit
Most pages are defined to be a certain size, regardless of how large or small your monitor is. You can use Firefox's zoom feature (View menu) to enlarge the text and images (or just the text, if you prefer) on a page.
In addition to making individual site adjustments, there are some add-ons that will default every site to a higher zoom level. For example, check out:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6965/ Default FullZoom Level]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]
Does that help? -
I can close the little blue 'drag' box every time I open Firefox, but that is a hassle, and I know it should not be necessary. When I try to eject the 'peripheral' icon, it says I cannot because Firefox is in use. I have to wait until I close Firefox to be able to eject it off the desktop.

When you open Firefox and go to the Firefox > About menu, does it say that Firefox is up to date? I've seen at least one other person with this issue, and any more detail would be helpful. -
Firefox does not start up after an automatic update. Every time i try to open it, it just prompts the Mozilla Crash Reporter.

Same thing happens when i click restart.
No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!Did the crash reporter send any crash reports?<br />
You can see the crash reports in this folder:
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br /><br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]<br /><br />
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br /><br />
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br /><br />
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox<br /><br />
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.
Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad. -
clicking on a link in Mac Mail Firefox does not open in front of Mail--it used too. The link does open but I have toclick on the Firefox icon in the Tray to bring it to full screen. Can you please help.
Thanks Jason, I had the same problem and did exactly the steps above. Problem solved! You rock! :)
