Everytime I open a search engine I get the not responding message

Every time I open a search engine site (any) and place my request.
When the answers come up and I click on one of them my PC will freeze with a Mozilla Firefox is not responding and then I lose the whole page which becomes blank. I have to re-boot to start again.

After my windows 7 computer did automatic updates, everytime I click on a link I get a not responding message and have to wait almost a minute for the program to continue.

Last night, my computer running Windows 7 premium home edition downloaded some automatic updates. I came in this morning to find that it had done a restart after adding these updates.
Now, anytime I click a link or do something which requires a redirect to another web page, my program gives me the not responding message and I have to wait 30-55 seconds for the program to continue.
I have Firefox 4 and it was running smoothly up until this morning, so I can only assume that whatever the automatic updates were, there is something in them that is causing this error. I do not know what updates were installed.

I don't have that problem in Firefox 29 when I read Gmail or AOL (aim''.''com) webmail. When I click on a webpage link in an email I'm reading (example: http://www.tworivertheater.org/ ) the link opens in a separate Firefox tab.
Are you saying this doesn't happen in outlook''.''com webmail and the link opens in the same Firefox tab as the email itself? I don't use outlook''.''com webmail myself. Hopefully someone will be along who does, or see [[Problems with email and how to find help]].
It might help if you would confirm the type of link that is opening in the same tab as the email you are reading in your outlook webmail. If I misunderstood your problem, please explain it better.
It might also help if you could furhish more troubleshooting information. Please do the following:
*'''For Firefox 29.0 and above''': Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
*At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
*Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
If you need further information about the Troubleshooting information page, please read the article [[Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues]].

Whenever I use the search the results page comes up but if I try and access any of the pages i get the Not responding message

I can access all my favourite websites ok. It is only when I try and access a page from using Search.

Copies of e-mails repeatable being downloaded and when I try to delete them it is very slow (I get the not responding message) how can I cure this?

the question covers most of it. I will add that this suddenly has started to happen and I have not knowingly made any changes to my system. The e-mail address is a secondary one to my main address which is a btinternet.com account

I get constant "Not Responding" messages and Thunderbird freezes. I've done everything suggested on this forum. Nothing helps.

I've done everything I can find in this forum - using Safe mode, changing McAfee settings, etc., etc., etc. I downloaded Thunderbird again and reinstalled it. Nothing helps. I can look at one email but if I try to delete it I get the "Not responding" message. If I try to go to the next message I get the "not responding" message. If I try to do anything while the screen is frozen, it goes grey and I get the "not responding" message. Short of changing my email viewer, is there anyway I can fix it.

I have this problem too and it is EXTREMELY frustrating!!!

With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later. You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back. My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
You may have Numbers '09 installed. Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save. Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x

Is Google interfering with Firefox? Why is it when using Google Search engine, Firefox is always Not Responding? Doesn't appear to happen with other Search Engs

Really tired of waiting for Firefox Not Responding Msgs of late when opening a new tab and searching for something. It is not the speed of my Internet connection that is to blame and doesn't seem to happen if I use Yahoo or Google via Chrome for example. This problem only appeared some weeks/months ago and why, I have no idea.
I am a computer user, not a programmer and can only follow basic computer instructions - if I cannot resolve this frustrating 'Not Responding' message every time I wish to search for something then, I'll have to drop Firefox and use Chrome or similar as life is just too short.
Thank you.

Keep getting a "not responding" message. It's getting worse by the day. Nothing seems to work, including resetting.

I've been getting this message for weeks now. And this is the 3rd time I've asked for help with this and nothing is working. I'm thinking about jumping ship back to Internet Explorer. Can't believe I'm saying this since I've been with you guys for years now. Can anyone PLEASE help? Keep getting this damn "not responding" message.

When emailing from iPhoto I keep on getting 'server not responded' message.

Would anyone be able to help with the issue I have with iPhoto. Every time I try to email photos directly from iPhoto I get this message 'server not responded'. I have the lates Mountain Lion OSX installed on MBA. Also, in addition to iCloud account I tried to add two more email accounts to iPhoto hoping that this might solve the problem, but it didn't. Would anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thank you.

Marius,
set the mailer in the iPhoto Preferences to "Mail.app", not to "iPhoto"
iPhoto > Preferences > General
Email Photos using: Mail
This way you will be able to mail your photos directly from iPhoto, but you cannot use the iPhoto cards; use the Mail Photo stationary instead, once the mail panel opens.
For some reason mailing using iPhoto as Mailer works for me only, if I am mailing from my iCloud accoun,t and if Mail is set to use the iCloud account by default.
Regards
Léonie

Every time anything happens on Firefox, I get a 'Not Responding' Message for around 10 - 20 seconds.

For the last couple of days, Firefox has been acting strangley. It doesn't crash and need to be closed, it is just a lot of Micro crashes. Every time I change a tab, refresh a page, click on anything, do anything, Firefox stops working for about 10-20 seconds, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. When it happens, I get a message at the top saying (Not Responding) untill it fixes it self later.
I had been quite happy with Firefox, but if this problem can't be fixed, I will be forced to find an alternative, which I dont like the sound of. Any help would be appreaciated...

This advice did not help. What else could be wrong. This is becoming ridiculous!!!

Firefox getting slower, not responding message regularly. Have used wisefixer to optimise system, any advice? Or just change brower.

Problem has got worse since upgrade to latest version. System hangs with message Firefox (not responding).

In other words, no fixes that require firefox to run or be open can be used. That is the problem, it will not run, but says it is running, even though it is not according to the task manager.

Everytime I open Photoshop Elements V13 I get the message that an update to V13.1 and Camera Raw 8.7.1 is available. However when clicking on update now or after exiting it never updates. Also there is no updates shown for V13 on the website.

Is this a false message, or is there an update available? If so How do I update my version?

Hi,
It is not a false message, those updates are available. (I have overlaid the camera raw info here)
If you load the editor, when you get told about the updates, and you click on Update, it may take a moment to get going.
If you are on a Windows system, you may find that there is a User Access Control request icon flashing on your taskbar. I'm not sure about MAC systems.

When I open a new tab I get the following error message: Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Tanisha/AppData/Local/TNT2/2.0.0.1128/pinnedSearch.htm."

I can still browse websites, but I want to know what is causing this error message.

hello tanisha625, it looks like some program has overwritten the default new tab page. you can either install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ searchreset addon] to get rid of the problem or manually reset the page that opens on each new tab.
enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''browser.newtab.url''' and double-click & change its value to '''about:newtab'''.

I keep getting 'Firefox not responding' messages. This puts me into 'refresh' mode in all Tabs. Help me fix this, please. It's constant, and makes Firefox almost unuseable.

No further details, except that it keeps going into 'refresh' mode every other minute---games, emails, etc. All tabs and bookmarks.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.
