Constant hanging began 8/29/11. Worse yesterday AFTER updating Firefox. Is there a known new issue?

I can no longer use Firefox because it hangs upon every use. I do mean every use. Even clicking to open and read an email or scroll on a page causes it to hang (not responding). It started a few days ago. Became unusable today after updating to the newest version, which I was expecting to help, not make things worse. Have had to use IE today - and I hate that!
09/10/11 Update: disabling Symantec IPS 3.1 fixed my issue for a few days. After installing yet another Mozilla update, I'm right back where I was, unable to use it because it hangs constantly. Going back to IE until I have more time to troubleshoot this.
9/11/11 Disabled all add-ons and sync. Still hangs constantly.

I tried disabling all add-ons and nothing worked. I don't see the Symantec IPS 3.1 in my add-on manager.
I uninstalled Java based on the answers on this thread below (I encountered issues with downloading Java 6.0.270.7 update)

  • After update FireFox to latest version 22.0, once I turn on firebug, all the opening firefox browswer will hang and respond slowly. Please help.

    Previously Firebug is working perfectly with FireFox and it helps a lot on web development.
    But few times of FireFox updates, once turn on the FireBug, FireFox will always hang, slow response, for example, clicking one button or one URL link on web page, it will take around 3 seconds only response. Click the scroll bar to scroll the page, the page will only scrolled after few seconds. The loading image on the tab will also hang and not circling.
    Once turn off the Firebug, everything working fine.
    It will be FireFox update having problems or the FireBug not compatible with the updated version of FireFox?
    Try to search the updates for FireBug but it's the latest version.
    Try to disable all the add-ons, plug-ins, not solving issue.

    Hello,
    Go to about:config and try turning off javascript.options.strict .
    Firebug is known to be very intense on Ram, try turning it off when you don't need to use it.
    Hope this helps!

  • After updating, Firefox informed me that Constant Guard, the security system which is provided by Comcast, is not compatible with this update and was disabled. WHY? Will Firefox now automatically provide security against online threats?

    Firefox upgraded automatically; in doing so, it stated that Constant Guard Security Suite, which is provided by Comcast, my internet service, is not compatible, and had to be disabled. Please explain why; is Firefox providing anti-virus when I surf the internet? If not, this is NOT an 'upgrade' and I will never use Firefox. Please respond as soon as possible.

    Hi, Thanks for that further bug description In Your Last Message That Describes The Problem I Am Having perfectly and is exactly the same for me.
    unfortunately that fix for my camera Powershot G6 does not work or apply as the view pictures switch is different on G6 is not usable during download as once you plug in DC/USB cable it turns off, and makes no diff and problem still exists exactly as you just described.
    thanks anyways "Selz Boy"
    it has been 17 days since apple promised to get back to me within 3-5 days hopefully with a solution, but I have still not heard from them.
    They blew me off, i guess, probably i will have to wait for new Yosemite OS update, which they pre-warned me could take as much as 6 months.
    I cannot believe apple released this new update with such major bug issues for camera downloads and that horrible "Photos" pgm which has all sorts of downgrades in features, usefulness and new bugs compared to iPhotos which I just finally got used to and was much better software.
    I am starting to lose faith in Apple and I am getting that Microsoft "FEEL" like I used to have when I was a PC user, which was why I originally switched to Apple  computers in first place.
    Oh well got my fingers crossed here.
    Thankfully the memory card reader solution  is working well, but cost me $45.

  • HT4623 I have lost my iphone yesterday after updating to os6.. I have no idea whether i have signed in using my apple id when the device lost.. Please let me know any chances of locating the same using the apple id or imei no in India

    I have lost my Iphone3GS duly uploaded with ios6.  I have no idea whether I have logged into icloud in the device when I lost this.  Can any body tell me any chance to located my lost device using IMEI no or other means.   my alternate mobile no is 09004411488.  I am a resident of Mumbai, India

    If you did not activate the Find my Phone feature before your phone was lost, then there's no way to track it. 
    You need to notify your carrier so that they can disable your SIM.  That's really all you can do.

  • After updating to Firefox 6, Tools/Add-ons hangs "Loading..."

    After updating, Firefox informed me that Flash Player was out of date. I updated that and restarted Firefox with no issues.
    However, every time I try to open the Add-ons manager it just hangs with a small "Loading..." bubble.

    Apparently clicking on any (Extensions, Plugins, Appearance) just the one time solves the problem. No further problem after exiting and restarting Firefox 6 for me. I have reported the issue.

  • Every page hangs with Firefox 8, there is often no exit, and if there is, clicking on it does nothing. I have to use cntrl, alt, delete to shut down every single time I use Firefox 8.

    I couldn't even open Firefox for hours, then realized there was an update to 8. Once updated, the horrors began. I can't exit a single page with Firefox 8. Every page hangs. I have used cntrl, alt, delete like never before. I disabled the container.exe plug in for Firefox, and still have problems. There is no menu bar, there is often not even an exit button, but when there is, it doesn't work. These problems must be fixed, or I'll never use Firefox again.

    See "Hang at exit":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
    See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • After installing Firefox v 22, AppleWorks runs slow and hangs up. Can I unintall v 22 and revert back to Forefox v 21?

    I work on a iMac Intel Core 2 Duo - OSX 10.6.8 I rely on using AppleWorks v 6+ (Classic mode -Rosetta) I have over 3000 records in an AppleWorks data base and do not want to lose these records.
    Also, I run two Operating Systems on my computer - one (OSX 10.6.8) in my internal HD, another from a 2TB external HD (also OSX 10.6.8). Although I do not recall doing so, I must have downloaded and installed Firefox v 22 on my "internal" HD. Since doing so, AppleWorks hangs up and sometimes requires me to Force Quit the App. However, when using my external HD (which still runs Firefox v 21) when I launch AppleWorks (from my Applications folder on my "Internal HD) I do not experience any problems with AppleWorks. The problem with AppleWorks hanging up or not responding, began only after installing Firefox v 22 on my internal HD. I have no idea why but Firefox v 22 is definitely causing problems with AppleWorks v 6+
    Is it possible to revert back to Firefox v 21 (if I uninstall v 22)?

    I 'm facing the same problem but I don't want to uninstall better to Roll back to my previous version . 'cause many plug-in ( which is most usefull and important to me ) not supported with my present version V22. like easy youtube .
    I want to know what is the benefit if I don't get any better opportunity from upgrade version and also lose my previous version's facility !

  • Add-ons manager not loading since I updated Firefox yesterday,right?

    I updated Firefox yesterday when the update was offered. Now the add-ons manager (accessed from the tools menu) hangs. It says loading and the icon spins, but it never completes the load. I am running on a Mac. Thanks.

    This fix is not working for me. It just spins and spins and I cannot see my Add-ons list. It is difficult to imagine why clicking 'Get Add-ons', which sets off a process requiring interaction with a remote database, should cure a problem with the Extensions list, which presumably sits locally.
