Firefox keeps 'Not Responding' when I try to load something

When I close and open Firefox again when I go to a website and for example I go to click on a picture, it doesn't crash but it doesn't respond and after about 30 seconds it works, this happens a lot now and I have reset my firefox but still it keeps doing this and it is quite annoying. After sometime it seems to settle in and it works, but I would rather this not happen because this has never happened before.

Mozilla seem to be losing the plot. In the past, people expected Microsoft to release software which contained security problems and then re-release it, only for it not to work properly. Now it appears Mozilla is taking over that role! And the solution to this? Install a Beta version, a version still under development!
I suspect that the very great majority of software users look for stability, for a program which works well and meets their immediate needs and which will continue to do so for some time - certainly months rather than, as it appears, days, before a new, "improved" version is developed. Maybe Mozilla should think along these lines; meanhwile, I'm going back to the latest 15 release.

  • Firefox keeps (not responding) how do I fix it?

    Firefox keeps (not responding) was using 6.0 and saw online that someone switched back to 5.0 so I tried that, still not working. Also saw on your help page that other people are having this problem. Any solutions?

    You're not the only one. Despite other comments, it's not a RAM issue. I have been having the problem for a week. I sent numerous complaints to Facebook, but their IT staff is either poorly trained or grossly understaffed, because nothing gets done, and you never get a response.
    My home page loads, and that's it. I've tried it on three computers in my home, and in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and get the same result in all three, as well as on my other computers.
    I hope they will eventually resolve the issue, but it's MADDENING. I got my Facebook access back on Thursday night, and it worked for the weekend, but I lost it this morning again.

  • Pages is "not responding" when I try to open any document on a Lion Operating System, Macbook Pro. What can I do?

    Pages is "not responding" when I try to open any document on a Lion Operating System, Macbook Pro. What can I do?

    Ah then that is the issue.
    1. Is Pages registered? It turns into a demo version after 3months otherwise.
    2. This makes it interesting as to what happens if it has, because a demo version can't/won't save and I'm curious if this causes a bug in the ever so wonderfully thought through process of versioning in Lion
    3. There may actually be a problem with one of the documents which again causes a bug in the ever so wonderfully thought through process of versioning in Lion
    4. You are entitled to AppleCare telephone support to try ands resolve this in detail which is difficult to do without seeing what is actually going on because there are multiple files involoved
    5. Which raises the issue of does it freeze consistently on hitting a certain document? In which case moving or archiving that document may get Pages to actually launch

    Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    *C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 17.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *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.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • Firefox keeps not responding.also chrome and internet explorer dhas the sma problem

    fire fox keeps not responding.I have the same problem with internet explorer and chrome.I have spent a fortine on pc systems repair but they have not cured the problem.I operate windows vista.my desk topis a Dell dimension c 521 IT IS 3 YEARS OLD.

    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.

  • After 2 or days use, if the browser is open, I keep getting "Not Responding" when I try to do any thing...I am up-to-date...version3.6.17

    Actually I had this problem before when I would leave my self on Facebook, but it went away with version 3.6.16, but since the update to 3.6.17, it's back and really annoying, gotta click the mouse 3 to 5 times just to get an action. the message" Firefox( not responding) appears at the top in the "Header". ...Yes , I'm keeping up-to-date with flash and Java. Help, Please...I LOVE this browser.

    To rule out Flash as a potential culprit, could you try one or both of the following:
    (1) Disable the Protected Mode feature of the Flash Player plugin.
    The following pages provide different ways to do that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.
    (2) Set Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate").
    This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it, which will help distinguish Flash-generated issues from page load and layout issues.
    To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.

  • Firefox keeps "not responding" all the time ... is very anoring

    it happens mostly while using facebook's posting page (FB and the Zynga games on FB are the only thing I'm on most of the time I'm on line) ... I keep running into "FIREFOX NOT RESPONDING" all the time ... I'll go to click on a posting and nothing happens ... when i click again the page goes cloudy and that DARN blue wheel shows up (I hate the wheel) & at top of computer is says "Firefox not responding" ... my scrolling wheel will not work right ... jumps up & down the page or won't move at all ... always have to be refreshing the page or exit firefox & reopen ... looses connection a lot or is out of sync & has to be refreshed ... this started to happen several weeks back after I first downloaded Firefox 4 ... in fact I've had to reload it several times ... this is all very frustrating when trying to play my games ... I've defragmented, run both my AGV & windows washer programs several times but nothing seems to help ... had no problems with earlier firefox so tried to reload it but now can't get earlier version to work either

  • ITunes does not respond when I try to play a movie

    I just installed the latest iTunes update onto my Windows 64-bit computer and now, whenever I try to watch a movie on iTunes it freezes and does not respond. I have to start the task manager and end the program manually. I have unistalled iTunes and reinstalled it but I still face the problem of iTunes freezing and not responding. I have a pretty good collection of movies and would love to watch them cause well I paid for them but i cant because it keeps FREEZING. Also, it wont let me view trailers on the iTunes store so I'm thinking something is wrong with the 'video' part of my iTunes. Please help.

    Although it's not such a good bet with a freeze as with the "iTunes has stopped working" messages, it would do no harm to try the following user tip:

After that Internet Explorer will not start. I get a very brief flash of Internet Explorer running, then the window closes. So now I cant run Microsoft Update.
