Fire fox freeses when I'm in the middle of typing an email, causing me to have to reboot several times

When I'm partway through typing an email, the screen freezes, I have to reboot repeatedly to complete the message. I've run scanners for viruses, etc. and came up clean. I'm using gmail, with MCaffee security. I do the 'magic' three, ctrl/alt/del, that only prolongs the problem. And I really don't want to upgrade to #5, I like the brownser as it is except for the problem with the mail. Besides, I don't want to lose my addons or ssecurity that I chose.

For me, I think the "Skype Click to Call 5.11.0.9874" addon was causing the slow response. Once I disabled this addon Firefox was responding normally.

  • Why does my Ipad keep going black and then back to the apple logo.  It eventually goes to the start page but then blacks out again.  I have already rebooted several times with no luck!!

    Why does my Ipad 2 keep going black ahd back to the apple logo.  It eventually goes to the home screen and allows me to try something else but after about 30 seconds it happens again.  I have already rebooted several times? 

    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • Very slow response, stopping for seconds in the middle of typing an email

    I'm having very slow response time with Firefox, so much so that I've switched to IE (gasp!). It'll stop suddenly for several seconds in the middle of typing an email and I have to wait to start typing again. Websites are timing out or just taking a very long time to respond after clicking on something. Yahoo in particular is extremely slow.

  • Firefox quits unexpectedly when I am in the middle of composing an email message but does not generate a crash report.

    This happens periodically, either when I'm in my email client application or in a web mail program. Sometimes Firefox quits within 10 seconds of my composing a message, sometimes a minute or two later. There's no warning and no error message. I'm just kicked out and have to restart Firefox and start over with the message.

    You will have set the mailto option to use Firefox. For details on fixing it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+keeps+opening+many+tabs+or+windows

  • When I receive an email with photo I have to click several times and wait to view photo.Why is this

    Waiting too long for download of photo from email ..

    Hello sentrysam1,
    Need more information before I can provide an answer to your question.
    1. Does this only happen with photos and not other attachements?
    2. How big are the photos?
    3. Do you receive your email via a website or an standalone application on your computer?
    3a. What is the application and version you are running if standalone application?
    4. Does other photos stored locally on your computer open up slowly?
    5. When the photo is opening slowly, does other aspects of your computer act slow? (e.g opening another web address)
    6. Who is your email provider?

  • My computer will not turn on at all. It is plugged into the charger and there is not light. I have tried it several times and it is not working.

    Also, it shutdown unexpectedly when I was using an application. I use it regularly.

    Have you tried plugging the charger into a different electrical outlet?

  • Email Session times out in the middle of typing an email.

    Hi all, This is not the first time this feature has killed an email I have been typing away at. It is very annoying and really needs to be fixed. Jedicj

    Hello Bretus,
    Thank you for contacting Mozilla Support and I'm sorry this update isn't compatible with the extensions you're using.
    The Kaspersky support forums mention that those extensions will be updated soon, so that they are compatible with FF25. In the meantime, we do not recommend that you downgrade your version of Firefox, but you can find instructions and download locations for previous versions here:
    [[Install an older version of Firefox|Install an older version of Firefox]]
    Please let us know if this solves your issue.
    Cheers, Patrick

    Hi Stephen,
    What version of MS Office are you using?
    Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
    Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
    From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
    The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
    • Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
    • Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
    For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
    The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
    • Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com POP port: 995
    • Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open. it says page cannot be found.  This just started happening.  what needs to be corrected?

    In Adobe Send, I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open, it says page cannot be found.  This just started happening.  What needs to be corrected?

    I can think of a couple of reasons for this behavior.
    You inadvertently turned off the sharing for the files.
    The link that the user is clicking on is incomplete; perhaps it got broken across lines in an email message. Are you sending Anonymous Links or Personalized Invitations? If the former, are you certain that you copied the entire link?
    Some things to try.
    Have the user send the link back to you so that you can test it. Does it work for you?
    If you look at your Sent Files list, is the name in the Sent To column struck through (e.g., John Smith)? That would indicate that it has been unshared.
    If you could get back to me with answers, perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.

  • Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

    Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.
    How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
    Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
    Any thoughts or pointers?

    Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
    You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

    Cloning as a Backup Strategy
    Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.

  • I have installed FF 8, the problem is whenever i try to launch it, it never launches (directly or indirectly), but when i check in the task manager it shows FF running. I have installed it on windows XP professional.

    I have installed FF 8, the problem is whenever i try to launch, it never launches (directly or indirectly), but when i check in the task manager it shows FF running. I have installed it on windows XP professional. Never gave an error, no messages, etc. I have disabled all the addons.

    The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
    For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
    1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
    2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
    3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
    4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.
