FFx sometimes freezes, acts balky at certain websites.

At some websites like Huffington Post FFx always becomes slow to respond, sometimes freezes up, and acts balky. When using IE or Chrome there is no problem. I upgraded to FFx 15 with no improvement. I have several extensions installed:
Adblock Plus
Autofill Forms
DoNotTrack Plus
Flag Fox
IE Tab 2
Java
Personas
Microsoft .Net Framework
Vacuum Places
Zscaler Safe Shopping

Could you try disabling Firefox's hardware graphics acceleration? You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved (or improved)?

  • Firefox 18 freezes for a little bit on certain websites

    For certain websites Firefox 18 will freeze for about a minute. One of the websites it does it on is GoPro.com. It will do it the first time I visit the site, then as long as the browser is open and I return to the site, it works as normal. As soon as I close the browser then open a new one and I go to GoPro's website again, it freezes. This is the same with some other websites as well.

    I've been having this same problem since about v14 of FF, and have investigated it extensively. It's not a Flash or Java problem; it's caused by some kind of scripting issue when a graphic (usually an embedded video) is scrolled onto the screen. If I enable NoScript the problem never manifests; but many sites then don't work correctly so I always end up disabling it.
    My guess is that FF has some issue processing certain (types of?) scripts. It doesn't happen on all sites, but occurs frequently on others (e.g., huffingtonpost.com).
    I really, really hope the dev team can find a solution for this soon because I've just about decided to move to Safari because of it.

  • When visiting certain websites, Firefox doesn't display the sites heading and sometimes the text correctly. It appears broken and unreadable.

    I've reinstalled a new version of Firefox and set all settings to default, yet the problem still continues. Running Windows 7 and tried several different browsers (IE, Safari, Chrome and Opera) and all seem to work fine. Only problem is with Firefox. The only time it works fine is when I don't allow site to use their own fonts. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I just found out problem is with Adbock plus which blocks the certain websites to run fully. If u have installed Adblock plus plugin, go to Adblock plus preferences and remove the tick mark of the website which show only texts.

  • Certain websites will not load at certain times.

    Hi,
      for the last few weeks, I have been having difficulty with loading certain websites at certain times of the day.  The problem is affecting websites that I've been using for years, such as hotmail, Facebook, eBay, BBC Newsfeeds, Lego website, CBBC, to name a few.  It happens whether I use a bookmark, a hyperlink or whether I type it in, myself.  The page will start to load, then just hang,with the loading wheel spinning.  The page does not freeze and you can stop, go back, reload etc.  Sometimes, ebay or hotmail will load eventually, but there will be no, or only a few pictures and the website will consist of just a list of text headings where buttons and frames should be. 
    The problem exists in Firefox (3.6.25) and in Safari and Internet Explorer (the latter two are fairly old versions.  Firefox is my default browser).  The problem is the worst around the local afternoon and seems to go away entirely at about 11 o'clock in the evening.  This is way in excess of local high volume times and other image and video heavy sites work fine during the outages.  Other secure (http) sites work during the outages, too.  This doesn't happen every day and appears both on weekdays and weekends.  When I have outages lasting several hours, I have looked on the wider web (Google always seems to work) and I can find no traffic suggesting that significant numbers of other users are having  problem.
    So far, I have done the following:
    cleared out cookies and the cache.
    reinstalled Firefox
    restarted the router
    carried out a virus scan using ClamXav
    disabled all security and blockers
    disabled all add-ons
    started Firefox in Safe Mode
    None of the above made any improvement.  Then, suddenly just before 11pm, everything started working, as per previous nights.
    This is very strange behaviour which is extremely annoying and disruptive.  Can anyone help, please?
    I'm using a G5 2.7 with OSX ver 10.4.11.  I have not changes the hardware and software seetting for many months (that I'm aware of) nor have I installed any new software (that I"m aware of).
    Yours Aye

    BDAqua,
      thanks but already done.  I've tried an old laptop and although it was loading the offending pages this evening, it was taking 20 mins to load each page.  I need to go to my ISP, I reckon.
      Yet again, all the relevant pages go down at around 1700 and then spring to life again at 2300.

  • Certain websites are not resonsive on my Macbook pro!

    So I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro. And I'm almost positive that this is an issue with the machine and not the internet. But whenever I go to certain websites (Pandora and You Tube) none of the navigational buttons are responsive! I try choosing other stations, or pausing video on You Tube and NOTHING happens. Like the sites are not letting me do anything!
    Can anyone help me out here?? I'm thinking that it may be some kind of technical SOMETHING in my machine that's making it act buggy..... Thanks for your help

    Hi Dj Cj,
    It most definitely sounds like something with the browser. With that being said... what browser are you using? What version of the browser? If you're using Safari, what if you try FireFox? If you're using FireFox what if you try Safari? How about a new user account... does the issue persist there as well?

  • Status Bar disappear and Window autoresize on certain website

    I have a problem with Firefox 5 (it was autoupdate from 4), the status bar sometime appear sometime disappear (it just appear on this Ask a New Question web page. I could not bring it back as I would like to anytime. On certain website the windows size automatically adjust to slimmer and taller (eg after on fastmail site reading email). It also gave strange problem on google search page from time to time (?? ABE ??what is it how to fix), sometime I got it sometime didn't.

    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.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • New MBPro and iTunes does not work along with certain websites on Chrome and Safari

    I just bought my Macbook Pro 13" about two weeks ago. Everything worked fine when I was at school and at my friends house. The day I came home, I was not able to go to many websites such as Facebook.com or even my Gmail on Chrome or Safari. Also, the App Store does not load. I started using Firefox, and I am able to go on any website. Unfortuantely, the problem still exists with the App Store. Also, whenever I launch iTunes, it immediately freezes and I get the rainbow wheel and have to force quit. If I go straight to my music from Finder and click on a music file to play, it open iTunes, but freezes it and doesn't play anything. Can anyone at all help me with these problems?! I didn't expect to run into so many issues since my laptop is so new. I feel like it could have something to do with the internet at my house...

    Is it possible your home router is blocking some websites?  I used to help parents set up routers to block out certain websites so that their kids would stay pure and honest.  Anyways, if all else is the same, and the variable is the router (home, school, friends house), then we have to blame the router. 

  • My imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ?

    my imac seems to be getting slow on the internet. sometimes its good, sometimes it acts up. is there anything that I can do to speed things up ? Is there software available to tune up my imac?

    If this is Internet related, the slow downs can be caused by increased user activity on your ISP's server.
    The more people on your ISP's server doing things on the Internet, the slower your connection will be.
    Is there certain times of the day when you notice  the Internet is slow?
    If so, that's probably the reason.
    Also, do you share a connection with anyone else? Either on WiFi or Ethernet?
    That will slow your connection, too!
    Do you know what your Internet download speeds are?
    Not a high enough bandwidth and slow downs will be more evident.
    If on a WiFi, is the router you are you using 802.11 B, G, or N speeds?
    Might be time from a newer, faster router?

  • Macbookpro isn't loading certain websites

    A couple days ago safari 5.1.7 started acting funny. It only goes to certain websites, and others it wont even load. for example if i type in www.cnn.com it will go directly to the site, or www.hulu.com it works just fine, but when i try to go to netflix, facebook, or google it wont load at all. If i even try to search something in the google search bar it wont load. Has anyone had this problem before? any advice or help would be greatly apreciated!

    Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

  • Firefox stalling out on certain websites, necessitating a forced quit

    So! After yet another in a string of updates for one thing or another, Firefox has decided that it does not like certain websites, and it expresses its displeasure by eternally pretending to load information; the spinning rainbow circle of wait appears, and would continue to spin into eternity if not for the "force quit" option.
    As soon as I try to open one of these websites there is a brief pause where you almost start to think that this time it might actually work, but then, no, everything freezes, the spinning rainbow appears, and I have to force quit. I have force quit, no joke, about 500 times over the past three days. Affected websites include Netflix, a website for school, and the same thing happened when I tried the suggested "reset Firefox" thing.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, Adobe Flash, and Silverlight. I have tried opening and running Firefox in 32-bit. Nothing has even remotely worked.
    This is really, really frustrating, because prior to all of these unnecessary updates which rendered it useless, Firefox was my preferred method of being on the web.
    Please advise! Thank you!

    Hi highly_annoyed,
    I can understand why you chose that name. Unfortunately I do not use Mac's and can only initially offer general advice. The new reset feature should work and in your situation sounds like a good idea.
    * see [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] <br/> I am not sure if it would help but you could try following those instructions after you have physically disconnected from the internet
    Maybe you could read that article, attempt the reset, and then post back to explain exactly what does or does not happen.
    <u>Plugins list and other information</u>
    You appear to have had a problem with finding which plugins are installed. The Ask Question prompts suggest copying it from
    *Help -> Troubleshooting information
    An alternative method to get the same information is to key into the location bar (where you type web addresses) ''about:support'' and then use the Return/Enter key or click the arrow.
    The page of troubleshooting information even has a button allowing you to easily copy all the information.
    <u>Not Loading or hanging</u>
    It will probably be worth attempting to use an alternative browser; such as Safari; as a comparative test to see if that also has problems. Then look at these articles
    * [[websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]]
    * [[firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]
    * [[firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
    <u>Upddate the OS & Consider the possibility of Malware</u>
    This is something Mac users traditionally have not been too concerned about. There were a few worldwide headlines a couple of months back. Please make absolutely certain that you have the latest updates to your Operating System.

  • AirPort Extreme failure to connect to certain websites

    My AirPort Extreme suddenly failed to connect to certain websites that operate correctly.  The Safari returned the error "Bad Server Request", i.e., www.utteraccess.com.  Originally, I believe the website may be down for maintenance but tried several times with no avail.  I tried it with my mobile phone and connect successfully.  Then I tried to unplug the internet incoming cable to my iMac directly.  It works like a charm.  Thus confirm the problem lies on my AirPort Extreme.  In the past it was working correctly to access this website.  It seems the problem happened after the OS updated to OS X 10.10.2 and iTunes to 12.1.  Any advice to diagnose the AirPort Extreme?  Thanks!

    Ok.. that is getting us somewhere.
    The issue with fibre can be rather strange.. it has to do with technical issues between the supplied IP address the subnet of the entry and the gateway.. if the gateway is outside of the subnet of public IP it can fail to work. This is because the subnet mask is set too small a range.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that the AE is not flexible enough to handle what is really incorrect setup on the part of the ISP.. but terribly common, such that most router manufacturers just work around it by using a more flexible route table.. it is fixable in most routers where the route table is accessible.. of course apple does nothing of the sort.. In fact apple routers are really pretty restrictive and unless you have cable modem I don't like your chances of it working.
    I want you to test a few things.
    Pick one of the sites that fails.. and open a terminal in the Mac.
    Run the command traceroute to the website and give me the output. eg
