Ebay sidebar causes firefox to keep freezing in windows 7

Ebay sidebar causes Firefox 3.6.6 to keep hanging.disable it and firefox works ok!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

hello, it does work without a problem for me (& i think the feature should be entirely handled by the OS, so the version of firefox shouldn't play any role in it). can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once?

When I am using Firefox I keep getting unrequested Windows opening with full page advertisements. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

When I am using Firefox I keep getting unrequested Windows opening with full page advertisements. Why is this happening and how can I stop it? This is particularly aggravating when the new page has music or a voice message that intrudes even when I am not looking at the page.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

I have a generation 1 Verizon Droid and firefox mobile keeps freezing, anybody else have this issue?

I have a 1st generation Verizon Droid (running Android OS 2.2). Firefox for Android Beta keeps freezing and I physically have to remove the battery for it to reboot my phone. Does anybody else have this issue?

Several other users have reported this issue. We are looking for a solution, but we don't have one yet. For details, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602252

Photobucket site and other sites cause Firefox v19 to "freeze" and crash. All the time. Photobucket causes Firefox v19, to slow, then crash.

If you view photos for an extended time, or open a few tabs, Photobucket will cause Firefox to slow down, eventually freeze, then crash. This only started occurring when I updated to Firefox v19.0. This freezing and blanking out of the entire screen image of Firefox will occur when another program, such as Windows mail, is loading at the same time. It also is occurring at random times for no reason. I've never experienced a problem such as this with Firefox or Mozilla, ever. Nothing is preventing this from happening. I have Vista Home Premium, SP2. Dell Inspiron 530s.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your Photobucket cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help at all?

Computer is overheating - causes programs to keep freezing up.

My computer over heats, is there anyway to fix this because its causing my finder to freeze as well as certain programs that I use. I did a disk repair and it seems ok, but when I use my computer now, sometimes the temp rises to 197-200 degrees. I monitor it with SMC fan control but have no idea how to run the computer cooler.
Note. I do not have air conditioning in my house where I use my laptop.

Hi
If it's still under warranty I would get it seen by an Apple Authorised Repair Specialist or make a Genius Bar appointment. If it's overheating regularly and with little usage there's clearly a hardware problem somewhere. Possibly a failed or failing sensor? It may even be the main board?
If you restart your laptop and hold down the 'D' key this should access the hardware diagnostic test. Run the extended tests. You may see an error message an error message at the end of the test which may give a clue as to what is going on?
Be patient with the hardware diagnostic test as it does take a short while for it to kick in. This assumes the hard drive has never been wiped.

Why does Firefox 23 keeps freezing briefly all the time?

Firefox suddenly started freezing briefly for something like 3 seconds all the time when it updated to 23. It does it something like every 10 seconds. How do I stop the really annoying brief freezing?

I had already tried disabling HWA before updating to 24 beta but it didn't make any difference. Still kept freezing. At least the problem appears to be fixed in 24 beta. I haven't yet had any more regular freezing problems after updating.

Flash plugin causing Firefox/opera to freeze

Hello all,
I've got a problem. Lately when surfing flash-sites like
youtube with firefox it starts freezing (for a few seconds) when
loading. I managed to locate the problem and it was the adobe
flash-plugin. When I uninstalled the plugin I could surf those
sites without any freezes, but on the other hand I couldn't watch
the videos of course. And when I installed the plugin again the
freezes were back. I have tried reinstall Firefox countless times
and I'm using the latest version of Firefox and the flash-plugin of
course. I have also tried installing Opera and try the plugin
there, same problem. It does work in IE though. I even tried
downloading an old flash plugin version, same problem.
My computer is an Intel Core Duo 2.00GHz and 2GB RAM, Windows
XP. It has worked fine for about a year, but then suddenly after a
Windows Live Update this problem appeared.
So now my options are to either use the plugins and have
those constant freezes whenever I surf flash-sites, or unistall the
plugin again and not being able to see flash-videos. I'm really
hoping someone can help me out on this one! as I don't like either
of those two options...
Thanks!
Fredrik

My problem is similar, but with the following differences:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
Browsers: IE8 and Opera 11
This is a fresh install and everything was going pretty well as I began adding Microsoft Office 2003 and Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro. Then I installed Opera 11 and with it, Adove Flash Player for non-IE browser. Boom! Suddenly I start getting (not responding) messages in EVERYTHING! Opera, IE8, Windows Explorer, Office, etc. The message appears every few minutes and lasts for anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or a little more.
This is the whole reason I did the new install of Windows. I dumped the Windows.old folder as soon as I finished because I thought it might be malware. Now from what I'm reading, I'm thinking it's an Opera/Adobe Flash conflict.
Any help?

I cannot see my bookmarks toolbar - the gap is there for it and it is ticked in View and shows in Booksmarks drop-down menu but is invisible (or gone so far to left that it can't be got at), I think it happened after I added eBay sidebar for Firefox.

Any help welcome. I have tried just re-starting Firefox and I have tried adding bookmarks to it, but still can't see it.

This issue can also be caused by a missing "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

When situation causes Firefox cache file to have Windows modified date more recent than the access date?

I'm reviewing a report from a forensic examination of a hard drive from a Windows machine. In that report are Firefox 3.x cache files where the Windows modified date is more recent than both the Windows created date and the Windows accessed date, with the latter two dates the same. For instance, the modified date might be March 23, 2011 at 10:30 am, and the created and accessed dates might be March 17 at 9:50 pm. What actions, by Firefox, a user, or some other program (other than a date-modification tool) would cause this state of affairs? I'm generally familiar with these dates and under what conditions they change, but have found no doc explaining this particular situation...

In your example,
*the site was originally visited on March 17 at 9:50 pm and the cache entry was created; at that time all three dates should be the same
*the user visited the site again and the information in that cache file was modified on that second visit, March 23, 2011 at 10:30 am
*my experience makes me agree with the first answer in the first link below that accessed timestamp on Windows system is not always accurate; '''''AND''''' accessed timestamp differs for files and folders as defined in the third link below
*See:

ITunes Store causing whole program to freeze on Windows 7 (64-bit)

So I installed iTunes 10.5 for Windows 7 (64-bit) and cannot open it up properly: the iTunes Store makes the entire program freeze up. I've cleared the DNS cache, closed my firewall, changed proxy settings, and iTunes it still unusable. What am I missing exactly? This is enough to tear the hair out of my head...

I can get it running if I run it in XP Mode, but I still don't have access to the Store...nobody has any ideas?

Media center pc m8020n keeps freezing with windows 7 home premium

I recently updated my OS from vista business to windows 7 home premium and since then I have problems with constant freezing. I have tried to reinstall new OS over start over fresh with my hard drives reformatted and still the same issues. The computer will boot and sometimes will work on for a while and sometimes freeze on boot up. I am out of ideas I was told to replace memory and I have done that and still no solution. What else can be wrong!!! Thanks in advance for all the input.

Hello, i know this thread is kind of old but I am a PC tech and just had this PC run through my shop with the EXACT same problem. We updated the OS reseated heat-sink cleaned out dust etc. none of which fixed the issue. the actual prolem is on the graphics card that came with this machine. if you pull it out i can guarentee you it has a blown capicitor on it. You can use the PC without the card until you either de-solder and re-solder on a new cap or just upgrade your card. Hope this helps someone out there!
PS dont forget to change the video settings in the bios to onboard.

I have not checked "Open new windows in a new tab instead" but Firefox 5 keeps opening new windows in a new tab. How do I stop this?

I do not want to use the tab feature.
I have an iMac OS 10.6.8

(''Note: cross posted from [https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/801471 here].'')
I had the same problem, but was able to fix it somewhat.
# Open the about:config page.
# Set the ''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'' setting to 0 (= zero).
On my machine this will open new windows in a new tab. However, it switches to the new tab regardless of the setting ''"When I open a link in new tab, switch to it immediatly"''.

Firefox keeps freezing when I try to open the add-ons menu.

When ever I try to open the Add-ons menu under Tools on my firefox, it keeps freezing. I also noticed that my time clock that is normally on the bottom right of my firefox window is no longer there either.

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).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can also try to delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.
