After about 5 seconds, Firefox becomes unresponsive and lagging

Hi, I have a weird problem with my firefox. Everytime it starts, it will be alright for 5 seconds, then it will become unresponsive and lagging
- if you hover through the menu toolbars you wont be able to see the indicator arrow
- if you type something it is not responsive for a while, but then even when it works it won't show what you typed in unless you minimize the screen and then maximise it again.
What I have tried that didn't fix the problem:
- Removed and disabled all addons and extensions and themes
- Uninstall firefox and reinstall (using both windows and revo uninstaller)
- Going back to a couple of different versions
- Try using a new windows profile
- System restore
Interesting fact is if I start firefox in safe mode, it will fix the problem. But if I go back to normal mode, even with all addons, themes, extensions disabled, the problem is still there.
I have no idea what else to do and hopefully someone will be able to help
Thanks!

You can also try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

    Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?  IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all.  Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

    Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

  • I have adblock + ...when Firefox becomes unresponsive and I have to reboot, adblock disappears and I have to reinstall it each time. How do I stop this?

    There are times when Firefox becomes unresponsive and I have to close down and restart. Upon restart, adblock + is gone and I have to reinstall it. How do I stop this from happening?

    Hi,
    Do you have other '''Extensions''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''??

  • When recording a slideshow, why does audio stop recording after about 30 seconds even though slides and presentation continues?

    I'm doing everything the same and have made many successful slideshow recordings using Keynote, but since updating the Yosemite and then updating Keynote the audio just stops recording after about 30 seconds.
    The slides keep on changing and recording the video, but after 30 seconds the audio stops recording even though it seems to be registering the sound and the mic is not muted in Keynote.
    Is there some change or new setting I am not aware of that needs to be altered?
    Any advice would be helpful as I need to record a lot of presentations.
    OS X Yosemite version 10.10
    Keynote version 6.5
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

    I can't imagine this will work as the the application is tied into a specific computer and user ID to prevent unauthorised use of single use applications. Copying over has not worked with previous versions of Keynote.
    It worked for me. I guess it could be because we bought our Macs together and have home sharing or something. Either way, I'm running Yosemite but with Keynote 6.2.2. and not updating again until Apple do something about this bug.

  • In Windows7 (64bit) Firefox becomes unresponsive and the vertical scroll turns black before the crash.

    I have about 30 crashes with the plugins disabled. This usually happens with two to three tabs open.

    Hello Steve.
    I'm looking at your information and I'm not finding your Firefox profile particularly healthy... You have a plugin called "My Web Search Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" installed. You also have your default search engine set to mywebsearch.com, which is not nearly as good as Google, which leads me to think you didn't really configure these on purpose... Is that correct?

  • Firefox has becomes unresponsive and slow after I tried to install addons (not installed)?

    I recently format my computer and reinstall the windows 7, since this was the only solution that I know to fix the problem with Firefox (I previously had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it . This version was super fast. But becomes unresponsive and slow, when I tried to install the add-ons. I visited the official website of firefox and search for the addons, when I tried to install some addons, Firefox crashed. From then on, it has becomes quite slow and can't restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, It takes more than 5 minutes and becomes unresponsive frequently (after I typed each letter).
    I want to know whether this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable"

    Hey there,
    We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
    #Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
    #Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)
    [[Image:aboutcrashesFx29|width=520]]
    <br><br>
    After you've done this, you could 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 turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''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".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow 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.''
    Hope this helps!

  • Firefox4 freezes on startup after about 10 seconds. A second parallel instance of firefox works normally as long as the first instance is left alone frozen. What causes this and how can it be prevented?

    I am running firefox4 on win XP. When I start firefox, it says it is trying to restore a previous session which has only the blank tab. After about 10 seconds the whole instance of firefox freezes - none of the buttons work and the only way to close firefox is to use the Ctrl+Alt+Del and task manager. If I open a second parallel sessionof firefox, it works normally, as long as the first session is left alone (frozen). What could be causing the freeze up of the first firefox instance, and how can it be prevented?

    I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
    It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
    Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
    Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

  • When I quit Firefox, after about 60 seconds it re-opens again.

    Almost every time I quit Firefox, it seems to close down, then it pops open again after about 60 seconds. If I quit the second time, it closes as normal. I checked to make sure it doesn't happen because the next program I am using is opening it to display some connected content. I also checked to make sure I don't have two instances of it open or something like that.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox.exe_always_open
    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.<br />

  • My share operation failure occurs after about 5 seconds for DVD and Apple Devices.  I can share to a master file, but without audio.  Help?

    My share operation failure occurs after about 5 seconds for DVD and Apple Devices.  I can share to a master file, but without audio.  Help?
    It has error number -50.

    If it only happens with this project, it's probable some media files have become corrupted.
    Those may be render files. Make sure background rendering is off. Select the project in the browser and from the file menu, choose Delete Project Render Files; choose All from the dialog. Without rendering,try exporting.
    If that doesn't work, use an optimized version of your DSLR clips. (Right click on the clips in the browser and hit Transcode.)

    If yo mean the iPod will not connect to your wifi network:
    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Try:                  
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

  • New Acrobat Pro installed and EVERY PDF file crashes after about 10 seconds. Any Solutions?

    I just purchased and installed Acrobat Pro v. 10.1.2 and it seemed to install fine ,but now EVERY ODF crashes after about 10 seconds. Also, I get the Windows "please wait while Windows Configures Acrobat" message every time I launch Acrobat. Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?

    Good day,
    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble.
    Could you try the following:
    Launch Acrobat, but do not open a PDF file.
    Choose Edit > Preferences.  Click on 'Internet' on the left-hand side. 
    Uncheck 'Display PDF in Browser'
    Relaunch Acrobat - do you still get the 'Please wait while Windows configures Acrobat' message?
    If that message has stopped coming up, please try opening a PDF file.  Does Acrobat still crash?
    Do you have any other versions of Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed on this computer?
    What version of Windows do you have installed?  What version of Internet Explorer is installed?
    Kind regards,
    David

  • After about 30 seconds my streaming iCloud music cuts of and informs me that "iTunes is currently unavailable, try later".  What can I do?

    After about 30 seconds, music streaming from icloud through an appletv cuts off and informs me that "iTunes is currently unavailable, try again later". This does not happen if I do not stream via appletv.   What is wrong?  This seems like a problem within Apple, and not within my setup.  What can I do?

    I have heard of some people having a similar problem, which was resolved by a simple restart of their iPhone.  If that doesn't help you, you may want to consider de-authorizingyour computer in iTunes, then re-authorizing it and performing a sync to your iPhone again.

  • My email opens without words then shuts down after about ten seconds.  I've tried closing it, tried restarting iPad and resetting the iPad, all to no avail.

    For the last three days, when I press my mail icon, it loads the blank template then closes after about ten seconds. I've tried to close and reopen it, have shut down and restarted the iPad and have reset it, but nothing has worked. I tried to use the Apple online support but was told I would have to pay £25!  The iPad has not been the same since we upgraded the software as it is much slower, but the emails have not been a problem until now.

    Hi Go to Settings Email  Accounts Delete email account then add back again. Do this with each account that is not working. Cheers Brian

    If you have attempted the reset, which is holding the home button and sleep/wake button, was it still connected to the computer? Have you tried to do that when not connected. You stated it never came on, how long did you hold the buttons together? If you cannot get it to connect to iTunes then you would not be able to restore the device. You can see if you can put the device into Recovery Mode by following the instructions in this support document. If that does not work, then you are correct, make an appointment at the Apple Store. If you can't update or restore your iOS device
