Firefox will not respond when trying to delete history.

When I go to "clear recent history" and click on "clear now" it immediately states that the program is not responding. Does the same after reboot. It's not letting me clear my history, and I've tried 6 times, all with the same results... I have to close the program from the task manager. Is there a fix?

How much history do you have?
You can type a common character like a colon (:) in the search bar in the History Manager (Library).
You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

    Try resetting your device. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.

  • Firefox does not respond when trying to upload photos or files to Facebook, Google+, or similar sites.

    When trying to upload photos to various websites, Firefox brings up the pop up to view and select locations on your computer, but it never fully loads, it just kinda freezes, never allowing you to select files. I eventually get a 'This program is not responding' message and have to force close.

    Second times a charm!!!
    Maybe the link I had 1st time had a bug or something... I had installed it, restarted computer and all, exactly same process... and it had done nothing.
    But download page wasn't the same. Real weird.
    Good thing is, now it works!
    So to anyone who has had same problem, tried the "patch download" solution and didn't have any success (like me previously - which is why I posted)... TRY AGAIN! The link above works!
    Thanks

  • HT1338 server will not respond when trying to update

    The Software Update Server (macupdate.cg.ac.uk) is not responding.
    Please help this is the message i get every time i try and update my software now i have an iphone 5 my itunes needs to be updated but it wont because i need the latest software update so i can download the new version of i tunes. I am using Mac OS X 10.6.7 i am running fine on internet and am connected with good broadband speed.
    Thanks in advance

    You're saying that there is an issue when trying to use Software Update to get to 10.6.8, correct? An alternate way to apply that update is to download the 10.6.8 update from the Apple download site.
    Before running it, bring up Disk Utility, repair permissions, apply the update, and repair permissions again when done. With that, you can now install iTunes 7.

  • FIREFOX WILL NOT CONNECT WHEN TRYING TO DOWNLOAD AN UPDATE THAT I AM ADVISED OF.

    I keep getting notices that I should download 3.6.17, when I click on it to do so, it says it is trying to connect, and never does.

    Hi johnb69345359,
    I am sorry for the inconvenience caused. Lets try to resolve this issue.
    I would require few details in order to diagnose the issue correctly :-
    1) Are you able to launch Acrobat XI pro ?
    If yes, please try Help -> Repair option to repair Acrobat XI pro. Then try to perform the covert operation.
    2) Let me know the Operating system installed on your computer.
    3) Is there any error code or error message?
    Regards,

    No matter how many times I reset my password, it will not work when trying to sign intothe App Store through my iPhone4S.

    What is the error that you are seeing? Try to login using another App like GameCenter or iMessage? Also try logging in to other Apps like Facebook to check if it is your Internet connection problem.

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)

    I have a similar problem. I updated Firefox to 3.6.4 a few days ago. Then I tried to load Microsoft update KB982524. KB982524 would not load correctly. 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.

  • Will not respond when clicking on a hyper link

    when i click on a button, or text link, or similar - often nothing happens. When logging in to certain sites (but not all), it will not respond to user name and password entry.
    Some times Firefox takes ages to respond- others it's as quick as a flash.
    If i didn't know better, i would think it had suffered the effects of a trojan - but i have deleted Firefox twice now, and all associated files. I have rebuilt my iMac from scratch with a freshly partitioned hard drive and performed a fresh installation. Also, my iMac is running the latest version of Kaspersky - as it has done since bought in 2009.
    At this moment in time, it has been uninstalled until i get some idea what to try. It had 2 plug ins installed 3 weeks ago - Colorzilla and Firebug3 - but as i understand it, these are 'certified' add ons for firefox.
    Any help would be appreciated, because i depend on firefox for developing Wordpress based web sites.

    Hi homeworkers,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    Hopefully this helps!

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!
