Unresponsive Firefox nessages in my gmail acct., FB acct. and FB warning log ins from a different browser...

When I am inside my Gmail account checking my email I get the "Firefox is unresponsive" message all the time since about a couple weeks or so. I get the same when inside my FB page. And twice now I got a message from FB that tells me that s/o has logged in from a different browser and asks me to verify that it was me. I have not changed my browser. Please advise.
Thank you :)

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • How do I transfer all my Firefox saved passwords to my new hard drive and operating system? Going from xp to windows 7.

    How do I transfer all my Firefox saved passwords to my new hard drive and operating system? Going from xp to windows 7. I have the old hard drive hooked up as drive f. Can I copy and paste from old drive directory to new drive directory?

    You need to copy 2 files, key3.db and signons.sqlite, from the old [[profiles|profile folder]] to the profile folder on the new computer.

  • I did a Sony Vaio Care maintenance and now Explorer works find, Firefox won't open Gmail except in HTML and won't display features on Facebook or parts of webpages. Java is on. Flahs is OK. Explorer works just fine but Firefox will not.

    Gmail will not open except in HTML
    My homepage ButchNews.com will not display google ads, nor content from some widgets.
    Facebook messages will not open.
    But everything works fine in Explorer... except I hate Explorer.

    I was having this problem too and found an easy fix from another thread. Finally have my firefox back up and running!! See below:
    "Easy to fix. Clear your browser cache (Tools > Clear Recent History > select Cache, click Clear Now).
    That fixed it for me. I have to do it every time I run Vaio Care."

    I have a sync account and used to keep sync with Firefox server. Now computer got re-installed(OS) and want to sync data from Firefox sync server. But I am unable to setup as i don't have sync key.
    I would like to just sync with Firefox Sync Server with existing account. I can not find any way out for this. please reply me on
    [email protected]

    hello, for the old sync system in firefox 28 and below you also had to sign up with a mail address and password originally - to connect firefox to the old account you would need to have all those three pieces (mail, password & recovery key) available to you unfortunately...

  • I can't log out from a gmail acount on firefox. Support suggested to activate cookies, but they were anyway activated and I can't find any solution.

    While I am trying to log out from a gmail account on firefox , a new tab pops out informing me about problem with the cookies options. I couldn't follow the instructions in the tab, because I couldn't find anything of the suggestion in the options menu. Then I checked everything that online mozilla support suggested and nothing seems to be wrong with the cookies, they are activated. I don't know if this is connected with this problem, but the account that I am trying to log out is not mine, it belongs to a friend that has ever logged in before through my firefox until yesterday, and since then I am stuck with her account and basicly I can't even have acces to my emails. I think that's all.
    Thank you!!

    Type '''about:preferences#privacy''' <enter> in the address bar.
    The button next to '''History,''' select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    Under History, turn on '''Accept cookies from sites''' and '''Accept third-party cookies.'''
    You may have a corrupt '''cookies.sqlite''' file.
    Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
    Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
    Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
    '''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
    Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
    Locate the '''cookies.sqlite''' file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.

  • Firefox does not open Gmail to send link when I click the Send Link option on the menu. I have set Gmail as the mailto option, but did not help

    Firefox does not activate Gmail when I click send link in the menu under File or by right click menu on a webpage. I have set Gmail as the Mail to under options, but this did not help.

    I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

  • When using Firefox I cannot obtain Gmail in Standard View, only in HTML.

    When using Firefox I cannot obtain Gmail in Standard View, only in HTML. It's OK in Chrome.
    How do I correct this? Firefox is my default browser.

    That is usually an indication that some JavaScript aren't working properly on the Gmail site.
    * "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    I upgraded to Firefox 4.0 on my Windows XP laptop, and now can't send reply mail or compose mail from my gmail. It just says "loading". I tried the repair using "about:config" and resetting default preferences and nothing happened. I updated all of my plug-ins and nothing happened either. What do I do now?

  • Firefox not working with gmail

    i tried to load gmail, but the standard view does not load, only the basic html version.
    whereas it loads perfectly internet explorer 9 or firefox v4.
    tried reinstalling, clearing cookies etc.. nothing changed.
    even tried "network.http.spdy.enabled" to false as given on http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/928888#answer-339203 but nothing happened.
    got error:
    with gmail-
    Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version. Upgrade to a modern browser, such as Google Chrome.
    with blogger-
    Your browser is no longer supported by Blogger. Some parts of Blogger will not work and you may experience problems.
    If you are having problems, try Google Chrome. | Dismiss
    has gmail stopped supporting firefox new versions? i dont want to switch to chrome? wat can i do?
    am using windows xp sp3

    This is silly (and stupid). Why should I have to go to IE anything? Firefox worked fine with gmail until I went to this new version (16), I went to the beta version and gmail still did not work. I thought you guys were supposed to be unbiased? I should be able to use one program for my mail and my internet and not lose any of my cookies or services. I went to you guys because I was able to use all the services without any problems, now need two services so I can use my mail (no, I am not changing mail services...I like gmail and have a very set and established email address. It would cause a lot of problems trying to get my friends to memorize a new one...we like the one I have now).
    It should not be THAT DIFFICULT to allow access to gmail. Work with each other, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. Thank you, NukeGeek

    Firefox has crashed numerous times on me tonight, and I keep getting an unresponsive script error (Script: chrome://devany/content/main.js:254) regardless of what website I'm on. NoScript will not block this script, and it's popping up with an increasing and alarming frequency. It's completely crippled my Firefox, and getting the a large enough window between unresponsive script warnings to get the Troubleshooting Information from Firefox took me a good 20 minutes. It's a very persistent script. I've already re-installed Firefox and restarted my computer, and scanned for viruses/malware. I'm on a Mac, if it makes a difference.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Tonight. I can't say what site I was on, though I first noticed it on DeviantArt and thought it was their new layout producing problems. ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

    yay, I had this same issue, and I too browsed deviantArt and also have got Deviantanywhere add-on installed. : D
    I'm so glad that You've found a solution and shared it with us.
    I was really getting worried that I'd done something to get malware installed on my 'puter. *Phew* !!
    I'm going to disable DeviantAnywhere after I post this and hopefully this will be fixed for me too!
    I actually hadn't kept my firefox up to date. but.. *shh...*
    I updated it and after I did, it told me that there was a script running that was not responding. : )
    yay for FireFox~

  • I use firefox to get my gmail but now i keep getting "the connection was interrupted" message which i never got before

    i have been using firefox to access my gmail. however, only since today i get the following message:
    The connection was interrupted
    The connection to mail.google.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    however, i am able to connect on my ipad for gmail.
    helppppppp!!!!

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Also make sure to allow Firefox in your security software (firewall).
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

  • My Firefox won't open Gmail

    In the morning around 6 am, when I wake up, I go on my computer before school. I like to check my email, but every time I try to open Gmail, it says that the internet of whatever is down. Like "No Connection" ALL the other sites I go on (except Facebook also) are able to open. This is especially annoying, because I KINDA NEED my gmail for HW and such- I am a student who wants good grades and all.

    There is nothing on that thread that says Javascript is turned off by default. to quote:
    "In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
    However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on. "
    The UI checkbox to disable Javascript was removed, but the option still exists in about:config (which isn't code btw, it's just preferences), nor was Javascript turned off by default, in fact the opposite is true, it is enabled by default with the option to disable it made a little more difficult to find, as only advanced users need to disable Javascript.
    Please try to clear the cache and cookies for gmail, let's see if those are causing problems. [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer]], [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]
