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.

    Hello Connie.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • How can I go back to Firefox 5, the 6 update is terrible, constantly get 'not responding' when navigating.

    I want to know if I can go back to Firefox vs 5 until vs 7 comes out? I am constantly getting 'not responding' from the browser when navigating through tabs and sites. (ie. if on say facebook, after maybe writing a comment or viewing a picture, I'll click on a second picture or other comment and I have to wait for the browser to 'respond'. This happens on multiple sites and multiple tabs.
    I thought it was my internet connection at first but after trying Chrome and explorer browsers I do not have this issue.
    It is really irritating and annoying. I did not have this issue with vs 5.

    Have you tried the steps at [http://www.roboform.com/support/faq/roboform-v7#faq_firefox http://www.roboform.com/support/faq/roboform-v7#faq_firefox] ?
    Firefox 5 is not recommended for security reasons, but if you don't want 6.0 you can try 3.6.x: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]

  • Keep getting "not responding" when using Yahoo's new version of email on a Win8 Lenovo computer

    Firefox no longer works properly. I tried the reset Firefox option, but that did not help. When I try to delete an email, I receive the not responding message. When I try to move an email into a folder I receive the message. When I try just to go to the next email, I receive the message. If I try to mark a message not spam, nothing happens. If I wait, eventually Firefox responds and I can move on to the next email. Obviously this is very time consuming and I find that I just don't read my email as I don't what to spend the time. I contact Yahoo and they responded back that it is a browser issue. Because Firefox is the only browser I have on my computer I need to get this working properly again. One more thing, sometime this non-responsive message shows up when I am using other sites, but just not as often as when I'm trying to read my Yahoo emails.
    I thank you in advance for answering my question and try to help me get this issue resolved.

  • I keep getting an error when i try to download the itunes update pleasenhelp, I keep getting an error when i try to download the itunes update pleasenhelp

    I'be been trying to download itunes update it comes up with an error
    i have tried ti download i tunes 11.0.3 and again an error keeps coming up
    please help

    That is odd. I would uninstall iTunes from the computer and re-install it from scratch. The cool thing is that it won't delete any music or backups and such. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925?viewlocale=en_US this here link walks through uninstalling and re-installing iTunes. The basics are going to your control panel and removing iTunes, Quick time, Apple software update, Apple mobile device support, Bonjour, and Apple application support. Then go to iTunes.com and download a new copy of iTunes. This should resolve the issue!
    If you need further help uninstalling iTunes you may want to call 1-800-my-apple.

  • HT5225 "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme...". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSXLion. It has something to do with a repair Apple performed last year. I use a 17" MacBookPro. Any suggestions?

    "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme. Use Disc Utility to change the partition scheme". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSX Lion so that I can upgrade my 17" MacBookPro to move to iCloud. My harddrive was replaced last year by Apple because of a fault by the manufacturer and I think this is the cause of the problem. What can I do so that I don't lose my content.

    I have no idea what this means.  Particularly the part about "Brian-Massmans-Computer-7."  I don't even know what computer that is. 
    I'm guessing it could have something to do with the fact that I've still got FCP 5 installed.  But it's not running.

    Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
    Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference.

    If this is happening with one or two specific sites, those site may have been hacked, or they may simply be bad sites.
    If it's happening with a larger number of sites, and with sites that are legit (like Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc), then it's likely that your wireless router has been hacked. See:
