Firefox 3.6.11 Crashing periodically (at least once a day, sometimes more)

This has been happening for the last week and it's frustrating. All of sudden (and not on the same websites) Firefox will just lock up. Usually I'll first notice it when I go to my bookmarks and you can see the box outline of my bookmarks drop down but everything else is invisible in the box. Sometimes buttons on a web site will not longer function. The only way to exit Firefox then is to use control alt delete to bring up the task manager and shut it down. There have been times even after shutting it down that it won't reload and I'll look in task manager and there is still a copy of Firefox running. Any ideas of what I can do to stop this from happening. There are no error messages, it just locks up.

PS, I just noticed another issue but this is a constant problem with Firefox 3.6.11. Some of my forums have "pop up" screens for when you want to use a smiley face or similar items. When I click on the option to see more of the icons, it will NEVER come up anymore.

  • My new at Christmas iPad air requires a reboot at least once a day sometimes more. Is this normal?

    My new iPad air requires a reboot at least once a day, sometimes more . Is this normal?

    That type of error could indicate a WiFi network problem. That type of error can usually be gotten around by simply turning off/on WiFi in the Control Panel or Settings. There may or may not be any problem with your iPad Air. It won't hurt to have it checked out. You could also test your iPad on some other WiFi networks to see if it has any problems there. If it doesn't you might want to take a closer look at your network.

  • I need to restart Firefox at least twice a day, sometimes more.

    I leave my home page, and when I come back the display is corrupted. If I restart Firefox, the problem goes away, but will occur again, sometimes as often as 5-6 times a day.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == since upgrade to Firefox 3.6.6

    Does it help if you click the "Minimize memory usage" button at the bottom of the about:memory page?
    You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.
    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.

  • WAP4410N (Repeater-Mode) is crashing at least once a day

    Hello everyone
    we installed a WAP4410n for a customer who needed a wireless repeater to forward the signal to another part of the building. Everything is configured properly and works, until the device stops responding. This happens at least once a day, sometimes twice or even more often. When you power-cycle the device, after a few minutes everything is fine again. The lights on the device stay lid up after the crash. The wireless network is not discoverable after the crash though.
    The wireless-router that is forwarded is in direct site an at maximum 15 meters away. The signal strengts is good and the only traffic that is made is internet access for two PC over a 2mbit internet-connection.
    I tried updating the device from 2.0.0.5 to 2.0.0.12 K9 but this has not solved the problem. I'm not sure if this is a hardware-failure or a known software bug. Please let me know, what i can do to solve this.
    Thanks in advance

    Greetings,
    Usually when you use repeater mode from one of our access points the speed and range is cut by half, If I am correct 15 meters is close to 45 feet give or take, our max range for wireless is 120 feet configured as an access point,  when cut in half by the property of repeater mode your new repeated broadcast would have 60 feet give or take of wireless connectivity, if your clients are moving in and out of the total broadcast range and consistently requesting  DHCP from the WAP device you could generate a broadcast storm that could lead to the device locking up.  I would suggest tweaking with the advanced wireless settings at carefully and looking at the help tab to see what each setting does, perhaps trying different wireless channels that work best in your network and trying to stay within the wireless boundries of your total broadcast range. This is a mere suggestion and a personal point of view, however for more detailed and precise technical support regarding your issue please contact our support center 1-866-606-1866.
    Thanks.

  • Time Capsule flashes amber and loses connection at least once a day

    Hello,
    I got my Time Capsule a month ago. I had an old one from 2008 which I gave to a friend, so it was time to upgrade. I have no idea what's going on, but the Time Capsule flashes amber and I lose my Internet connection at least once a day, sometimes two or three times within a few hours.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Any idea how to fix it?
    If it matters, I'm on a mid-2010 MBP running OS X 10.8.5.
    Thanks!

    You and everyone else.

    It is not stable firmware.. or has issues .. with some modems.. or is just faulty.. pick one or two choices.
    There is no fix because this is really a bug.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

  • MacBook Pro 15" crashes at least once a day.

    This is the only way I found of making this issue known. I'm posting this in hope someone at Apple reads it and answers me.
    The 15" MacBook Pro Core2Duo I'm using has fed me up. It crashes at least once a day, guaranteed. I have an Apple Cinema Display attached to it, usually Safari, Word, iTunes and Acrobat Reader Pro all open at once. Sometimes I'll have Mail, Photoshop, Keynote and Pages open too. I don't know if this is related to Intel processors or crappy video cards, but my G5 never crashed like this. This laptop also tends to overheat, which as ironic as it sounds, was one of Apple's selling points against Intel processors back in the 90's when we still used Motorola processors (good old days).
    Bellow are my computer's specs, check them out and let me know if this model in particular has had known issues.

  • Time doesn't update periodically, links don't open in emails, turning off and on at least once a day...any ideas why???

    I'm having to turn off and on my iPhone at least once a day to update time, and/or to receive texts that are not coming through when they should've gone through.  Also, why don't the links open when i click on them from my email?  Also, phone has to reconnect to wifi every time I unlock it.  Any recommendations???

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    This is something that often cures strange problems like yours. I hope it works for you.

    my safari is always shutting off  and then a box asking me to fill out a report pops up it happens at least once a day, is there anything i could do to stop this?

    I think you mean it's crashing or quitting unexpectedly.
    Most likely due to third party Safari add ons. Follow the instructions for troubleshooting here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    If you can't resolve the issue, post a crash report so we can try and help you get Safari going again.
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash  information.
    Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

  • Since installing Maverick my Mac Pro freezes at least once a day, any advice?.

    Since installing OS Maverick my Mac Pro is freezing at least once a day. I can not access 'Force Quit' via shortcut and have to force a shutdown. This has occured when using Firefox, so i tried Safari and Chrome, freezes using all three. It has happened while use software as well eg, Photoshop and Word.
    I have installed and run AVG Anti Virus and done a full system check to ensure that there was no virus etc.... all was clear.
    I am assuming that it is a bug within Maverick as i experienced none of these problems prior to its installation.
    Is anyone else experiencing these issues and does anyone have any advice on prevention?

    Firstly, uninstall any anti-malware software. It isn't needed and could cause your problem. Also, avoid using Chrome which can also cause problems. Never use more than one browser at a time. Using three is asking for disaster.
    I've been using Mavericks on all my computers and have had no problems, so what you describe is unlikely to be a bug. Start by uninstalling the AV software using their uninstaller. Disconnect all third-party peripherals. Then try the following:
    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Jabber for Windows 9.1(3) - All network connections fail at least once a day

    Hi,
    We have Jabber for Windows 9.1(3) running, with the MSI 3.2 installed as well.
    At least once a day my computer stops making network connections (Outlook gets disconnected, Internet Explorer cannot connect to Google, Chrome also fails). When I shut down and restart Jabber all network IO resumes.
    Has anyone seen this behavior?
    I've made two problem reports for this. Is anyone interested?
    Regards,
    Erik Tamminga
    PS. Server side we're running all 9.1 versions.

    We had the same issue and logged a TAC case, and the final result was to uninstall media services as mentioned above. Obviously now you no longer have desk phone video.
    The new 9.2 beta has a new media service version, and the rollout of the new 9.2 client is mid march I believe, so hopefully this rectifies the problems, because if it doesn't I think this would not be a good thing for Jabber as a product unfortunately.
    Cheers

  • 40+ processes running with no apps open; automatic reboot at least once a day post 4.4.2 update. What is going on?

    Ever since I went through the update process for my Galaxy S4 to Kit Kat, 4.4.2, my phone is constantly running 40+ invisible processes that eat up most of the 2GB of ram. Needless to say, this is also causing my battery to drain 3 times faster or more than it used to prior to the update. I have Powersaving Mode turned on, constantly clear RAM and always double check to make sure I am not accidentally leaving any apps open. Additionally, my phone reboots itself at least once per day. NONE of this occurred before the 4.4.2 update. I am hoping someone here or from Verizon can possibly shed some light on the matter.

        Hello CharlesDW,
    Help is just a posting away! Let's get your device working properly. May I ask have you completed a reset after the update? I suggest this to resolve a the initial issues with the update. Here's a link on how to do so. As always, we suggest backing up your info before the factory reset.

  • My iphone 4 started making a sound like "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound.  It does it at least once a day.  I've reset my phone, used icloud to restore, and it made the sound again upon startup.  Help!  This is so annoying.

    My iphone 4 started making a sound like a "boing" with a vibration/ wobbly sound.  It does this at least once a day.  It started about a month ago.  Anyone got any ideas?

    Mine does this also, seemingly randomly several times throughout the day.  I do not have this sound as any of my alerts and it does not seem to denote anything like a message, reminder, etc.  I do have "Trapster" on my phone and I went in and tweaked the settings there.  Will repost if that has any efect.
