Can't download in Firefox browser only, unless computer is in safemode.

When Firefox is running, the memory usage continues to grow without stopping until windows begin to drag as if I were really taxing my computer and internet, when I'm not. I also cannot download anything through Firefox, unless I reboot my computer to Safe Mode.
I have run through all of the tutorial/knowledge trouble shooting. Cleared all my history cookies, changed folders, removed extensions, disabled plugins, Refreshed Firefox, use the Firefox Safemode. None of it has changed anything.
I can use Chrome to download just fine, even when my computer is not in Safe Mode.
This all seemed to start within the last 4 days or so, and I remember that Firefox made me update about then. My laptop does not have the update and Firefox works fine. I'm currently at a loss. I prefer Firefox, but I have to use a different browser in order to continue working. My business is heavy with internet communication and this has been a nightmare. Until I hear back, I will begin setting up preferences in Chrome. Hope someone can find a solution. [Windows 7prof 64bit]

I'm not sure what you mean by "changed folders," but have you tried this:
'''Clean Reinstall'''
We use this name, but it's not about removing your settings, it's about making sure the program files are clean. As set forth below, this process does not disturb your existing settings. Do NOT uninstall Firefox, that's not needed.
(1) Download a fresh installer for Firefox 37.0.2 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox (if applicable).
(3) Rename the program folder
''(64-bit Windows folder names)''
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
''(32-bit Windows folder names)''
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Any improvement?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* \OldFirefox\Plugins
* \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  • Why I can't see any Firefox browser windows after I open Firefox in Mac?

    I open my Firefox as usual, but this time, I can't see any Firefox browser windows come out but only the menu bar on the top was changed into Firefox menu bar. Is there any problem with my Firefox or I accidentally activate some "hiding" function?

    I am new to Ubuntu, but I see videos ok. Firefox may play some natively but I also have FlashPlayer installed. IIRC FlashPlayer is not on the original Ubuntu 11.10 CD but has to be installed as a separate Firefox plugin. From your system information aside it appears you do already have FlashPlayer installed.
    * Have you got FlashPlayer enabled currently ?
    * I Note you have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX Div X] installed, which is not something I know about, but could that be interfering with some videos, have you tried disabling Div X.

  • I cannot seem to download the Firefox browser because the download screen doesn't produce any window for me to click on to run or save.

    When attempting to download the Firefox browser, I click on the big green button to download, then I am taken to the next page which says it should begin in a few seconds. Nothing happens. I click where it says to click if nothing happens and nothing happens. I tried this using both Google Chrome and IE. I have an internet connection, but cannot get it to work. HELP!!! And yes, I did turn off my pop-up blocker just to be sure.

    How can I download photoshop or apps to my computer using windows XP?

    Hi,
    You can download Adobe Application Manager by going to this Link.
    https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
    With the Help of Adobe Application Manager you can install the Photoshop. Please do keep in mind that 64 bit Applications(After Effects, Premiere Pro) are not supported on Windows XP unless you have 64 bit OS so it will not show in AAM.

    Can't download the newest iTunes on my computer, so I can't download music to my iPhone 5

    Call Apple and order a Snow Leopard DVD.  Once you have installed it, use the combo updater to update to 10.6.8 and then install iTunes 10.7

  • HT1420 Can I download a movie onto my authorised computer and then copy if onto USB stick to put in the TV?

    Can I download a movie onto my authorised computer and then copy if onto a USB to plug into our TV?

    If you mean a movie purchased from the iTunes Store then the answer is no. Movies purchased from the iTunes Store are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) in this case using Apple's 'FairPlay' scheme and this prevents you simply copying and playing the file.
    You can however purchase a movie from the iTunes Store and either play it via iTunes on a Mac or PC which could be connected to your TV, or you can use an Apple TV device which is specifically made for this purpose.
    See http://www.apple.com/appletv/
    If on the otherhand you mean just a movie you have downloaded from a website which is nothing to do with Apple's iTunes Store then it very much depends on the format of the movie. Some 'Smart' TVs can play some movie file formats from USB memory sticks. You will need to check the specs of your TV to see what formats it supports.

    Download it from exactly the same place you downloaded it previously. If you purchased it from Adobe, you link is still available. If you don't have the email confirmation of your purchase, then log into Adobe.com and go to your account page to look at your Orders.

  • Can't download photos from my iPhone4 into computer

    I don't know what is the problem? I can't download photos from my iPhone4 into computer. Because last week I could download it. Today I've got the error message "Microsoft Office Document Scanning does not support this type of device". How can I solve this problem and this problem is related to my iPhone or my computer?
    Thank you.

    Photos should be downloaded using the scanner and camera wizard and not Office. That will copy pictures into your pictures folder in the My documents folder. This is one of the options that should pop up when you connect the USB cable to your Iphone.

    Hi there AAA87,

    It sounds like there’s an issue downloading iTunes on your PC, even after trying some recommended troubleshooting suggestions. I’m not sure which suggestions you’ve tried, so if you haven’t already, try the troubleshooting suggestions in the article linked below.

    I can't download itunes to my windows 7 computer. It gives me a error 0x800736fd.

    Don't know about that error but have you tried:
    Make sure iTunes is uninstalled, restart your computer, redownload and install iTunes (make sure you download the right one. If you have a 64-bit Windows7 then download the iTunes 64bit version).
    Hopefully this works for you. If not then somebody in this forum should know the answer.
