Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.
This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

'''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.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

    How long did you let it charge? It may take 30 minutes before the iPad responds when the battery is completely drained. Let it charge for at least 30 minute using the wall charger. Then rest the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%.
    If the iPad still does not start make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

    Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

    I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
    My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

  • Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

    just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

    I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
    When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
    I hope this helps you my friend!

  • The screen goes black and then instantly comes back on

    While I am using this brand new computer, the screen flashes to black and then instantly comes back on.
    Any ideas?
    Mary C.

    Thanks for your help. I think the problem was that I was new to using a mac. I was accidently moving the mouse to the top left corner and that sent the screen to a screen saver, but then I would instantly move the mouse away and that would bring back my desktop.
    My mac also gets hot in the middle at the back and then a fan comes on to cool it down. It is a nice quiet fan so that is good. The heat feels good on my legs and actually keeps me warm. What a nice mac that keeps me warm! The other night the electricity went out in my hotel room during a big storm and the strobe light on the front of my mac served as a nice night light and flash light to get around the room. I love my mac!

  • When I go to view a video I downloaded from iTunes the screen goes black and won't play. Tried turning it off multiple times. Still downs not work

    Worst part is I am on a plane and now have time to kill as I can't watch my movie right now

    Quit the video app and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the video app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Launch the video app again and see what happens.
    If that doesn't work - go to the home screen again and swipe to the right to bring up the search feature. Type the name of the movie in the search field at the top. If the movie shows up in the search - tap on the icon and hopefully it will start playing. Let it play for a couple of minutes and tap done. go back to the video app and see if the movie appears there. If so you should be able to play it from there.
    If that doesn't work, try resetting the iPad and launch the video app again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I have trouble with my computer accepting an audio CD for I Tunes to download.  It remains in the computer for about 10- 15 seconds and then spits it out again.  Why???

    I have trouble with my computer accepting an audio CD that I want to download to ITunes.  It will remain in the computer for 10 - 15 seconds before ejecting it and not allowing me to download.  My ITunes is open.  Why does this happen or what am I doing wrong?  I have done this dozens of times before.  What makes this different and does it have anything to do with recent upgrades?

    I'm not sure? I'm new to lightroom and it's lightroom 5 that I'm using. What is happening is I go to develop the picture in the developing section in lightroom and it gives me this message that says " Develop module is disabled Please purchase a license to reactivate the develop module." I shouldnt have to do anything else after already buying the cd and downloading it initially. It's already paid for? I'm so confused!!
    why is the adobe lightroom 5 asking me to keep downloading the CD I bought at Best Buy store. I have already bought the CD and downloaded it on my computer but for some reason it gives me 10 days a then I have to download it again!!! Why is this its so an 

  • Screen flashes black and then shows slide to power off

    While playing music the screen repeatedly flashes to black then flashes to the slide to power off screen. When I tap cancel it usually works for a few min before doing it again but sometimes it flashes between the black screen and the itunes screen several times before showing the slide to power off screen.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • MBP Screen goes black and then restores.  NVIDIA graphics card issue?

    I've got a mid-2007 MBP, 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, running 10.6.2.
    Over the past couple of days I am having random losses of video screen. I will be on a webpage, doing nothing with it, and the screen will go momentarily black. It normally lasts for a few seconds, then restores. Nothing I do seems to affect the blacking out or the restoration.
    I have the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics card.
    Any suggestions / input on whether I am experiencing the failure? FWIW, computer is still under Applecare.
    Thanks

    See this KB article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    I have similar issues with my MBP. However there is also a widespread issue on the forums in which the trackpad and keyboard stops responding, and it may be difficult to tell if the problem is loss of video or loss of input ability when the display goes to sleep automatically. I'm currently in this boat. I'm not quite sure if I have a video problem of if this is the issue with the trackpad/keyboard connection.
    The video card issue appears that apple will pay for out of warranty but they are not addressing the widespread problem with trackpad and keyboard loss of function and if you are out of warranty you are out of luck.
