Everytime I open firefox and enter any url it hangs the computer for few minutes.

Hi,
Every One
I have latest version of firefox. Every time I start my computer and the first url I enter in firefox makes the whole computer not t respond for few minutes. I have only installed firebug to debug my website stashcity.com. No other plugins has been installed. Please let me know how I can resolve this. I have tried clearing cookies and other details in firefox.

another user with a similar issue has identified the firebug addon as source for the problem: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/960066]

  • A website calles allgameshome is set as my homepage everytime I open Firefox and it happens even after I change my homepage to another in options.

    Once I installed a game and it asked me to change my homepage to AllGamesHome.com and my default search engine to AllGames Home search,and I accepted it but now I can't change it to any other even if I do it under options of tools menu it gets changed back to AllgamesHome when I restart firefox.

    If you have the AllGamesHome toolbar, see how to uninstall it:
    http://www.allgameshome.com/how_to_uninstall/
    ''if this does not solve the problem ''
    type in the address bar '''about:config'''
    then press the button '''i'll be careful i promise'''
    then type in the bar '''keyword.URL'''
    then right-click on it, select modify, and put

  • How can I get rid of unwanted persona? I choosed a new one but the old one apears everytime I open firefox and I can't remove it because it isn't in my adds on anymore.

    I tryed to choose the unwanted persona again, so I can remove it properly but it doesn't work. When I choose a new persona, it works until I close firefox and when I open it again I wear the old one again.

    Try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

  • I get the error message "unresponsive script" when I try to open Firefox, and then I can only delete the message by going to Task Manager.

    After I downloaded the Firefox update, when I tried to open Firefox I got the error message: "Warning unresponsive script...etc". This happens every time and the choices in the message ("continue" etc) are unresponsive. Further I can't delete the error window without going to Task Manager to end the program. The problem also disabled Internet Explorer which will now simply not load. Google Chrome is working. I assume it relates to the update since the problems (for both Firefox and IE) occurred immediately after the download.

    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]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Everytime I open Firefox 8 my default search engine (in the upper right) changes to Yahoo. I want it to stay on google. I have even removed Yahoo as a search option but it keeps showing up on restart. How can I stop this?

    See question above.

    When I installed a new program yesterday, it also without my knowledge installed a customised Yahoo toolbar at the same time setting default search to Yahoo.
    Even though I removed the toolbar from Firefox, nothing I did would stop Yahoo from being the default search. Changing it in "manage search engines" or about:config didn't help as it was immediately reset. I wasted hours searching the web looking for a solution.
    Eventually I started task manager and noticed an application called '''searchsettings.exe''' this is '''malware''' supplied by completely completely unethical company called '''Spigot Inc''' this runs in the background forcing search back to Yahoo contrary to the computer owner's settings.
    It may be uninstalled via the Windows Control Panel. One just needs to find the toolbar to uninstall. In my case I found and removed an application called "pdfForge Toolbar" which also removed searchsettings.exe.
    I am absolutely galled at the audacity of '''Spigot Inc''' installing a program surreptitiously that prevented me from changing the settings on my own computer is completely dishonest. I refuse to use any software that installs a Spigot Inc Toolbar, it is about time that Spigot was shut down!

    BSD process name corresponding to current thread: firefox
    What version of Firefox are you running? I am on the beta channel release and currently using version 15.
    And I've always had problems with Spotify. Some do and some don't. In this case your kernel panic was caused by Firefox. Make certain that you have the latest release version and keep an eye on how much CPU% it's using by opening Activity Monitor for a few days. It can run amok if you're not up-to-date.

  • I have a fairly new mac book pro with retina display- I have not tried installing anything other OS on it. In spite of that yesterday when I turned it on, I got the error: no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key. what is the reason for this?

    I swithced it on by clicking on options when I start up and then clicked on Macintosh HD. the other option was a question mark and network drive.
    Is there a way to ensure it never happens again, what is the cause for this problem, if I need to uninstall some application, i am happy to do it as long as I know what is causing this conflict.
    many thanks!

    Something is not making sense here.
    You claim this is a brand new machine and you have not tried to install Windows or Boot Camp.
    Then why would you ever even go into System Preferences > Startup Disk and choose Macintosh HD? It should have automatically booted into Macintosh HD.
    You're probably going to have to reinstall Mac OS X.

  • Lightroom 5.6 hangs after using for few minutes. MacBook pro, Mac os 10.9.5. Colour wheel (beach ball) appears continuously and machine is frozen.

    I have been using Lightroom successfully on my MacBook pro for the past few weeks and been pleased how much better it is compared to iPhoto. Especially its speed.
    This week a few minutes after starting Lightroom the spinning colour wheel appears and the machine is effectively hung. Nothing responds. Sometimes after many minutes the mouse pointer reappers but the colour wheel immediately reappears if the mouse is moved or any attempt is made to do anything. Only recourse is to force a power down and re-boot. But then the same thing happens.
    System is MacBook Pro (15") from late 2008, 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM (Have tried 3 GB but this makes no difference.) Running Mac os 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
    I have checked file permissions and file system with Disk Utility, it found no problems. Have optimised Lightrooms catalogue. All made no difference.
    I completely stuck now so any help appreciated,
    John

    Hi a,
    It looks like you have a 15" mid 2010. You can try the SMC reset. If that doesn't work, see the free repair program for similar issues:

  • Firefox has been freezing constantly on my Mac, and I have to force quit the program every few minutes.

    For the past week or so, Firefox has been freezing multiple times per day. Each time, I have to force quit the program. I tried resetting the plug-ins and add-ons and things, I uninstalled and re-installed Adobe Flash Player, and I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox itself--none of these things has worked. I really don't want to stop using Firefox, but it is currently unusable. Can someone help?

    Since two days, everytime I open firefox an extra tab opens up from Download Helper.

    Did you check for problems with the file prefs.js in the Firefox Profile Folder and rename or delete the file?
    Windows may be hiding the .js file extension, so check the Properties via the right-click context menu to be sure.

  • July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command

    July 18,2011 AOL toolbar update install. I cannot open Firefox to uninstall the update or the toolbar because everytime I open Firefox it freezes and jams up. I have to shut down my computer as it will not even respond to force quit command. I cannot read my mail (aol) or access my bookmarks all for work.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    You should be able to uninstall that AOL toolbar extension while running in the Firefox SafeMode.

    I would suggest that you first follow the troubleshooting that the OP did in the second link, which is to test in a new user account to see if the behavior is consistent. If it is, you may need to address the issue at a software level by re-installing Safari. More information on this process can be found in the following article:
