Unpredictably, Firefox hangs and does not load websites. It can be closed, but will not restart without shutting down the Firefox.exe *32 process via task manager.

This happens during almost every session I am online with Firefox on this computer alone. I have been using FF for years without issue.

Way too complicated to solve the problem of "firefox is already running ....etc." and there must be a more simple solution to this problem which occurs once in awhile.
It seems to me that Mozilla developers can find a better solution and one that allows control-alternate-delete to fix the problem.
Otherwise, it is just resort to the old reboot solution.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • SAP System copy without shutting down the source and the target system

    Hi,
    We need to need to System refresh without shutting down both the source and the target system, i read the docs from SAP looks like we need to shutdown the source system during export and import phase, is there any way to do the system refresh without shutting down the system.
    Sathish

    Hi,
    Think a little bit about what is a database and you'll get the answer that what you "need to need" is impossible.
    Of course it is possible to keep the source running (hopefully, because ususally it is the production system !) by using an online backup, but you need to stop the target system because you will restore a backup on it.
    If you use the export/import way, you have to stop both source and target system.
    Regards,
    Olivier

  • I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap.

    I just created a new profile/user on my MacBook Pro. My pointer/mouse on my trackpad. It works fine in my older user profile, but when I go to the new profile my mac will not respond to clicks. The Mouse moves but will not click. Already tried restarting and the pram zap. The problem starts when I log out of my main profile. I get to the login screen and my laptop stops responding to clicks. When I manage to make my way back to my main profile the mouse works perfectly.  Should I just delete the new profile and try again?

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • When launching Firefox, I always get a message that my previous session cannot load, even though I always go to a blank page before shutting down the program.

    When I open the Firefox browser, it tries to reload the last page/tab I was on before shutting down the program the last time. My home page is a blank page, and I always go to that before shutting down.

    I have had exactly this problem - Firefox - version 11, but when I updated all my plug-ins (go to Customize Firefox - about halfway down - '''''Check your plugins''''') and restarted Firefox the problem vanished. Hope this helps as this seems to be a fairly large issue.

  • My purchased fims and TV shows show in menu of apple tv but will not download to view

    Purchased items show in menu of apple tv but will not download to view. There is an indication of 1 hour 45 mins before able to view

    Movies are currently a one time download. Because of this, it is your responsibility to back them up so when something like this happens, you can simply copy them over the new drive.
    You can't download them again with purchasing once again.

  • On my new iPhone 4S, I periodically get a "Sim failure" message and I loose my Verizon connection. To get service back I need to shut down the phone and start it up again.

    On my new iPhone 4s, I periodically get a "Sim failure" message and I loose my Verizon connection. To get service back, I need to shut down my phone and restart it.

    Have you tried removing and replacing the SIM? If that doesn't work, try a new SIM from Verizon, they will usually swap them out for you for free. If those don't work, you might need to get the phone checked out, it may have a bad SIM port.

  • After I updated, firefox crashes and pages never load. I can no longer open it completely.

    I got a message that it was critically important that I upgrade firefox immediately. Which I did yesterday. Ever since then I cannot open firefox and my pages that normally load on start up just hang and hang. Sometimes after a couple of minuets I can get a partial page to load, but after a short time I get the bug and a message that firefox encountered a problem and had to close. I sent a crash report today after that happened.
    I could barely get to this help page but eventually it loaded. I hope you can help me.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

  • When asking to view statements in online bills--firefox continuously runs a blank tab that is added to my downloads and I cannot stop it without shutting down the computer?

    I use Firefox for all our online bill statements. When I go to my Charter One bank account and press view e-statements, firefox does not view these statements, it has started to show pages that are blank and the tab is say charterone.com....dafault/???????(not
    sure what is after default) After shutting down and restarting, my downloads are loaded with these blank pages that I've been deleting--hundreds of these. How do I stop this from happening every time I want to view my account statements?

  • I have just updated my Ipod to the latest ios.(deleting everything) and using different sources to get my music back it seems that every time i select multiple/individual songs on itunes i can change artwork but will not show up on my ipod?

    I have a windows 8 computer and have recently updated my ipod to the latest ios and it has wiped my Ipod clean except for my photos. whilst trying to get my music back using different sources like CD's and stuff i cant seem to get any album art to load on my Ipod? I can go on itunes and highlight single/multiple items and change the artwork and my computer will confirm it but when I look on my Ipod it doesnt display any art work or allow me to change the artwork that is already there? i need help please!

    Album artwork can be added/changed on songs via the iTunes Get Info menu item from the File menu. Note that music that you loaded from CDs will not have any artwork. If you want to aquire artwork you can try the File menu item Library > Get Artwork or you can download artwork from the internet, etc. Note that just changing artwork on your computer won't affect the iPod until you sync.
    If the artwork is correct on your computer iTunes then delete all the music on your iPod by syncing with iTunes with no music selected. Then reload the music onto your iPod by again syncing with iTunes with all the music you want selected.

  • I'm at work and my Mac book pro is saying its connected  but will not display a web page. Others who have the MacBook is connected. Tried to restart. Please help

    I'm at work and my MacBook Pro is connected wifi but a web page will not display. Other have the pros and is connect. Tried restarting but not working

    You're not a liar. They should not charge you $90, it is within the 1-year warranty that comes with it and you are entitled to a free replacement. I have never had the problem myself on a 15 month old MacBook, so there must be SOMETHING that happened to it, maybe without you noticing. But might I recommend a wireless trackpad or Apple "Magic Mouse?"

  • I have a laptop i cannot get itunes to autheries and a pc that i can get autherised but will not sync to download anything i buy

    help, this is my first iphone and i have nothing but problems.. i am using the phone on my laptop only one other iphone has been used on it but no longer is not i have de activated the laptop using the apple id from that other phone, and tried to activate it again with mine so will accept mine to play purchased songs but it will not connect to itunes at all. it will sync to my phone though.. i have also auth another pc and that will link to itunes byt wont sync to download apps i have downloaded into my account HELP PLEASE

    This is how it works.
    Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I saw the responses on the page to opening and saving pdfs but it is cumbersome to shut down the function in Mozilla and work around it. Is there a fix coming?

    Until the Firefox 23 update I had no difficulty opening or saving pdfs in Firefox, but since the most recent update (Firefox 23) I often get error messages about damaged files when I use the download button and try to open or save files. I've checked with another browser and they open or save fine. I've tried disabling the pdf but it is cumbersome. I am using MSWord 7 if that makes any difference. Is there a fix coming for this?

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select Adobe Reader Plugin for Netscape (or something similar). Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
