Firefox 3.6.28 on Mac OSX 10.4.11 crashes at every attempt to load Huffington Post

Firefox 3.6.28 on Mac OSX 10.4.11 crashes a few seconds into trying to load Huffington Post - no problems anywhere else on the net. Cannot afford new computer with current software. Can I make it work with what I have? Thanks for the info.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Cmd+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
Firefox > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
If you open about:crashes, you should get links to online crash reports. You could post some of the crash IDs for review by volunteers here.
Given the timing, another issue might be some ads or media in the page. There are some add-ons to block such things...

  • After updating to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4 there is no longer an "Bookmarks Organize Bookmarks" option. Did it move?

    I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.4. When I go to the "Bookmarks" drop down menu, there is no "Organize Bookmarks" command. How do I do the operations that were under that command such as add new folders, move bookmarks, export bookmarks, etc.?

    "Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

  • Cannot read mails in hotmail with firefox 15.0.1 on mac osx 10.6.8

    I'm using firefox 15.0.1 on mac osx 10.6.8. I can log in hotmail, but cannot open or read any mails.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    Very weird day in Firefoxland
    First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
    Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
    Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
    WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!

    You need to use the command line switch -safe-mode in the Terminal to start Firefox 3.6 versions in Safe Mode.

    "Clear the Cache":

    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

    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).

  • When I sync with my iphone i get an error reporting message but the sync still works.  After trying to download 10.6.3 Mac OSX Snow Leopard, this message appears every few seconds until I quit Entourage.  How do I turn this message off?.

    Question: 
    When I sync with my iphone I get an error reporting message but the sync still works.  After trying to download 10.6.3 Mac OSX Snow Leopard, this message appears every few seconds as long as Entourage is open.  This continues until I quit Entourage.  How do I turn this message off? It interferes with any other work I am doing.   I appreciate any suggestions.

    I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
    I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
    Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

  • Why am I unable to update from firefox 4.0.1 on mac osX 10.6.8 when my Mac meets the requirements?

    I have a Mac OSX (10.6.8) with an 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor, 16GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory and 2TB hard drive.
    Yet I am unable to upgrade from FireFox version 4.0.1
    I can no longer access my YouTube account, and other websites, because I am told the FireFox version I am running is not compatible.
    Why am I unable to upgrade to the latest version of FireFox?
    Do you just not want Mac owners to run your browser? It seems this is the case as this has been an ongoing issue that should have been resolved already.

    Firefox 4 versions and later '''do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' and require at least OS X 10.5 and '''an Intel Mac'''.

  • Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OSX 10.4.11, Firefox will not open anymore (not even previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message 'You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OSX' (translated from Dutch).

    I have tried creating a new profile, problem remains the same.
    None of the 3 accounts on this desktop can use Firefox anymore. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I updated Firefox to 8, and nothing anymore. Via Safari I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do have) '''''and''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (your version is OSX 10.4).

    The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

  • After updating to Firefox 9.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8, Trusteer Rapport for banking has gone. I have reinstalled Rapport but is still missing. How should I do?

    Hello. When I was on the internet with previous Firefox, there was Trusteer Rapport (A seurity software for UK banking: http://www.trusteer.com/) icon was still there. However after Firefox gave me an update alart to be 9.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8 today and after I followed the update in this early evening, Trusteer Rapport is gone. I have re-installed the latest Trusteer Rapport and re-launched Firefox for several times, however, it is still missing. The Trusteer Rapport is a required security software to log in to the secure banking websites such as RBS, NatWest and HSBC (UK) etc and also it validates web security for Paypal and eBay by the Trusteer Rapport icon on Firefox, therefore I require. How should I do? I have none of other additional add-on/plug-in installed, because previous Firefox has crashed by a conflict of Trusteer Rapport and Nectar Yahoo Toolbar before. If it was a bug, please fix it asap please. Thank you.

    Thank you for your sincere help John.
    Yes it works again now after; I uninstalled Raport by Rapport utility, cleaned Rapport folders in system, re-installed the latest Rapport, activated at system preference, re-stated computer and then re-launched Firefox 9.0.1!
    Thank you again for your help, now it is solved .#)
