Firefox 17 freezes when loading facebook, but other browsers work

I've tried resetting Firefox, doing a complete uninstall and reinstall (including deleting the user profile and checked for an orphaned registry) scanned for malware (with no detected malware), but Firefox still hangs when I try to run facebook. I can use IE 9 and Chrome fine, but Firefox just sits there and the curser spins.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Firefox will not open any webpages, but other browsers work. How can I fix it?

Firefox will not load any web pages. I recently ran a registry cleaner/virus scan on my computer and now Firefox 5 will not load ''any''webpages. It displays a "Problems Loading Page" error message. Other browsers still work. I tried uninstalling and re-installing firefox, even restoring to a previous restore point, but nothing seems to work. How can I fix this?

Please suggest me. Thank you in advance!.

Hi Adrian,
Why don't you try any another software for opening CSV files then Notepad ? According to my experience, you can use these softwares to open an CSV files and they are:-
Microsoft Excel
Open Office Calc
Google Docs
Also there is an additional tool available known as CSV viewer. You may try this, download it from here http://www.csvviewer.com/
I've never used Notepad for opening CSV files, because sometimes it contains some symbols which are not not at all compatibile with Notepad.

Firefox sometimes freezes when loading new pages

I have had an issue for several months now & any help with it would be gratefully appreciated.
Quite often, when loading a new page, Firefox will hang for up to 30 seconds; the loading circle in the left hand corner of the tab will freeze & I will be locked out of the browser. That website's usually then fine for the rest of the session, but if I close and reopen Firefox the same thing will happen again.
I have tried other browsers such a IE, and the same thing also happens there. My laptop is becoming quite claggy in general, but I'm hoping I can at least find a solution to this!

Do you get a dialog saying a script is running slowly with Stop/Continue buttons, or does the problem just clear up without any messages?
Two other thoughts:
(1) To diagnose a possible Flash issue, you can switch the Shockwave Flash plugin to "Ask to Activate." The page should load the non-Flash components first. If it's just as slow, then we can rule out Flash as a potential culprit, but if it's much faster, that would be useful to know.
You can make the change on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Then use the drop-down list for Shockwave Flash to select "Ask to Activate."
Sites that use Flash will generate a notification icon on the address bar, and either a link will appear in the black rectangle where you normally get videos loading automatically, or an infobar will slide down between the toolbar area and the page.
(2) About 8 months ago, a user with an enormous font collection discovered that when visiting pages that use downloadable fonts for the first time during a session, Firefox would hang for 3 minutes. ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/957111 Firefox hangs on Websites (example: g2play.net)]) I don't know whether this is still a problem, but if you have tons of fonts, as a diagnostic, you could temporarily disable downloadable fonts.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''gfx''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled''' preference to switch its value from true to false.
I say temporary because many sites now use fancy fonts to display little icons instead of using images. With downloadable fonts disabled, these icons turn into tall rectangles with two rows of two characters (in other words, useless).

After I connect an ipod thro a usb cable, firefox will not load, but other browsers work fine.?

Firefox works fine and is my preferred browser, but after I connect an ipod to my computer it will not load. Even after the ipod has been removed firefox will still not load until the pc is restarted.

Open the Windows Task Manager > Processes Tab and see if there is a '''firefox.exe''' process running, when you can't open Firefox and you find it necessary ti restart your PC. When you try to open Firefox and a firefox.exe process is "hung", you should get a warning message that ''' "Firefox is already running" '''.

Firefox 4 crashes when loading pdf and other sites unless I first open it in safe mode and then revert

So firefox 4 crashes when opening in-browser pdfs and a whole host of other sites, even with no addons running.
I've found a fix: start in safe mode, then close and open in normal mode. This always solves the problem.
But '''why?''' What is causing this incredibly annoying problem. I went from happily browsing at high speeds (firefox 3.6) to suddenly finding myself propping my head on my arm, looking at a jammed firefox, trying not to go crazy, for about 2 minutes until it unjams (for pdfs - for the other sites it doesnt unjam) - and the pdf page ends up just black. God forbid I press F5 again lest I want to relive the experience.
This only happens on my work laptop. It's a top of the line laptop. It connects via a remote VPN. I'm not sure if that's relevant but I'm trying to give as much info as possible.

1. You have a pre-release Beta 1 version of what will become Firefox 4 in like 5 or 6 months. Unless you are intending to test it for flaws and report those flaws to help in the development process, don't use it.
2. Did you create a new Profile for 4.0b1, and are you using that Profile with it? ''That isn't done automatically when you install 4.0b1, and those of us who have been doing the "testing" for many years consider a new Profile as the basis of doing out testing.''
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+Profiles]
IMO, Mozilla is making a huge mistake by directly offering these beta versions to the general public.
Also IMO. if you want to play with 4.0b1, use the Portable Firefox 4.0beta version to minimize any conflicts with a currently installed version of Firefox, and to eliminate the need for creating a new Profile for 4.0 Beta #:
Download Firefox Portable Test to your hard drive and double click the '''FirefoxPortableTest_4.0_Beta_#_English.paf.exe''' file. The entire installation (including a new Profile for "Portable") will be self-contained in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\ folder and won't interfere with an "official" version that you already have installed. Your Profile will be in the \Program Files\FirefoxPortableTest\Data\profile\ folder.
The "down side" is that Firefox Portable won't launch if any other version of Firefox is already running.

Firefox won't load pages, but other browsers will.

Firefox won't load any internet pages, but different browsers, both Chrome and Explorer work, I havent tried others. I've un-installed, changed the name of the folder of the plug-ins that were left so it wouldn't recognize them, then re-installed nothing happened. I've checeked for viruses, proxies, and i'm pretty sure its not a firewall, I think we only have one and I checked it, plus there is no prompt asking me if I want to allow firefox to access the internet. It won't run in safe mode, so its not any add-ons, clearing the cache didn't do anything either. Its also not in offline mode. What else could it be?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Safari not loading images but other browsers are.

As the title denotes, I'm having this issue with safari that some images are not loading and I only get a blue question mark square. I have seen other forums with this question but it seems that my scenario is a little different, because other browsers like firefox can display images with no problem. Also for example, when I do a google image search only several images get to load while others don't. If I click refresh they finally get loaded but sincerely they take a lot more time to load than on firefox (sometimes refreshing doesn't work either) It might not be such a problem in an image search but on pages like facebook it is quite a hassle.
I don't know what might be causing it, (I don't believe its got to do with my internet connection since firefox has no problems whatsoever.) At first I thought that maybe an update might do the trick so I installed Safari 4 Beta which gave me only a slight better loading of the images.
Now to help see my case I've got some points to say in advance:
1) I don't think it is webpage specific but I frequently see it in google image search and facebook
2) I am using mac OS X 10.5.6
3) Every time an image doesn't load, the activity window says "can't find host"
4) As said above, I'm using Safari 4 Beta. But still I had this problem with the previous Safari

Hello,
We also have a problem with Safari only partially loading pages, or not loading them at all (a blank page is displayed). It happens intermittently, and affects some websites more than others.
It's definitely not an Internet issue as all other browsers (FF 3.5.1, latest Opera, Navigator, IE 6, 7 and 8 via Parallels Desktop) can display the pages normally.
I don't think it is related, but most of the websites that are affected are hosted at MediaTemple:
http://www.bedsupperclub.com
http://www.soundphuket.com
http://www.silqbkk.com
http://www.bedmgmt.com/
Reloading the page doesn't help (we tried reloading a gazillion times).
The issue affects all computers in our office (iMacs, MBP, MB).
We are using the latest version of Safari (4.0.2), it's an issue that we also experienced with 4.0 and the Beta.
We are gradually shifting to Firefox as this issue is really frustrating.

Only firefox executing mysql query two times. but other browser works perfect why?

i am a web developer. and i am facing a problem only with firefox. every time i use MySQL query in my php code fire fox execute it two times. but same query is working fine on other browsers.

Yes, the problem is seen without extensions and also in safe mode.
But, I am starting to think that firefox is running low on memeory or CPU.
Without extensions the possibility of failing is 1 in 3.
I am still unable to explain why closing the browser or aborting the request can cause the stuck request to immediately reach the server.
Is there a way to collect Firefox logs and post it here ?

Hi, my firefox wont load websites but other browsers like internet explorer , chrome can . This problem occurs when i use my company's router ?

my company have two internet connection ; 1 is dsl connection , firefox working fine on it ; 2 is my company's own cisco 2911 cisco router with internet connection , firefox wont loading pages except just the homepage of google.com and that's it , and the problem is that whole company is using company's internet connection which means that firefox is death for all of us.
Reseting firefox works but just for one day and after that it stuck again. also tried other solutions like malware removal , re installing firefox etc but not worked
Thanks for any kind of solution

thanks alot for your quick reply fredmcd
i have searched alot on the internet and got the solution , it was a thread known as "l.yimg.com". every time i open a website ,it stucks in "transferring data from l.yimg.com" , so what i did is;
1) End the process "random.exe" from task manager
2) Delete all the history and cookies of the infected browser.
3) Opened Registry Editor and delete these malicious entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ L.yimg.com
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\L.yimg.com \DisplayName L.yimg.com
HKEY_USER\.default\environment\temp
HKEY_USER\s-1-5-18\environment\temp
HKEY_USER\ s-1-5-19\environment\temp and so on
4) Search those malicious files on your hard disk and completely delete all of its components.
%AllUsersProfile%\{random}
%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\.dll
it really worked for me , if anyone have the same problem then try it , hopefully it will work for you too.

G4 MDD Freezes when loading software and others

I have a G4 MDD, Dual 1.25 Ghz
2mb L3 Cache per processor
Not realizing the Mac had multiple drives as a RAID. I tried to install a newer system. It fried the drives.
I replaced the drives with one 250GB ATA drive.
I am getting odd freezes such as when updating software, working on the internet and working in software programs such as CS3.
I did have some freeze problems while installing 10.4.11 after replacing the HD, but was successful after several attempts.
Could I have damaged the logic board or motherboard when the RAID drives were zapped?
I was trying to find the Apple Hardware Test, but only found Disk Utility to run.
Disk Utility said everything was fine. But I suspect there is something more to fix.
And the down loadable hardware test was for system 9.

The drive is set by jumpers usually located next to the power connector on the back on the "data" end of the drive. The way jumpers are set can depend on manufacturer. Go to your drive manufacturer's web site and search by model number (Disk Utility will give you the model without your having to dismount the drive). Typically, a drive manufacturer will have one scheme for all its drives so you may need only search for "jumper settings."
The little jumpers are moved to different pairs of pins to change the connection type. This image shows the jumper block location and settings for one model of Western Digital drive:
http://support.wdc.com/images/drives/jumpers/jumpers.gif
Again, find YOUR drive's make and model before moving jumpers.

Firefox updated yesterday and now it won't load any webpages. Have reviewed articles on this problem and checked everything. Still won't load. All other browsers work fine.

Have checked firewall and network settings and compared to other computers running firefox. All is ok, but firefox won't load any webpages. This started immediately after it updated yesterday. No error messages.
Have been having problems with updates on serveral of our computers for a month or so. Previous problems have always been that firefox renames a file it needs by adding moz.backup to the file name and I have to search for the file and remove it. This time I'm getting no error messages.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
