Firefox 4 Beta 11 hangs on start up

Firefox 4 Beta 11 hangs on start up, if I search for google related websites or any other websites(?). Need to kill the process "firefox.exe" in task manager to close firefox. Give me a solution. Thanks in advance...

I too have this problem. It has only appeared this week. I go to jobsite.co.uk input a search term, go to advanced and select job type 'contract' posted in the last'2 days' and click on search and FF hangs. I have to go into task manager to kill the process. Chrome works on this site.
I'm using FF4 beta 11 on 64bit Win7 Home Premium.

  • Firefox 4 Beta 11 and after hang in libxul.so on Angstrom/ARM builds.

    I've been maintaining the build of Firefox for the Pandora handheld platform. However all releases since Firefox 4 Beta 11 hang during startup, somewhere in libxul.so
    Any suggestions about what changed, or a better forum to ask?

    According to Microsoft, there is a patch for Hotmail that fixes this issue but they aren't pushing to have it release. You can let them know that you think it's urgent to fix here: http://windowslivehelp.com/forums.aspx?productid=1

  • I'm running Firefox 7 beta. Upon start up it asks me to update it, but when I go to the direct site it says that I'm already updates. Is there a 7.1 that I need to download? I can't find it.

    When I start Firefox 7 beta in the morning it will tell me that I need to update it for security reasons. I hit "ask me later" and go to the Mozilla site to check to see if it is a valid update. The Mozilla site says my Firefox is already up to date. Is someone trying to get me to download something I shouldn't, like a virus? Or is it an actual update. I can't find anything about 7 beta updates.

  • Firefox hangs at start. A new profile with a copy of my bookmarks and other files, from previous profile starts OK. At next start I have to setup a new profile. Since June 2010 in Ubuntu, with automatic update.

    Hi,
    My firefox-profiles in Ubuntu, are practically one-timers.
    Next time i want to use firefox it hangs at start. The window comes up
    and it's white, except for a square in upper left corner (without color).
    I'm having this problem since June 2010, when I started using an electronic ID,
    for access to Swedish goverment organisations. The Electronic ID (BnakID) is
    supported in Windows, Mac and Ubuntu. I had a new installation of Ubuntu, in a
    virtual machine at that time.
    I can't say that this is a problem with Firefox in Ubuntu or some other
    combination, I'm a newbie with Ubuntu and BankID.
    I've used been using Firefox and installing (Firebird, Mozilla) since 2001,
    in other OS:es than Ubuntu (Solaris, RedHat, Windows and SLED).
    My workaround are:
    - cd ~/.mozilla/firefox
    - mv profiles.ini profiles.ini-
    - Start and stop firefox
    - Copy some files from previous profile, to the new.
    cd <previous>.default
    cp -r bookmark* cert8.db content-prefs.sqlite cookies.sqlite* \
    extensions* places.sqlite* prefs.js sessionstore.* signons.sqlite* \
    ../<new>.default/
    - Start firefox
    My environment:
    Linux uw000141 2.6.32-26-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 09:00:03 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

    Try the fix posted by houseboats in this discussion: spinning beachball suddenly every time at launch. Other users have reported that it fixed their problem which is similar to yours, good with airport off, freeze with airport on. 
    The only problem I had with the fix was that it killed the name I gave my computer in the System/Sharing preference pane.  So if you use it go to that pane and rename your computer as it was originally.

  • Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

    Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

    I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
    I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

  • I started getting Operation canceled when I deleted Firefox 4 beta version from my computer. How do I fix the problem?

    I ran Firefox 4 beta version on my computer for about 2 weeks. When I loaded something from my e-mail program it would take me to the beta version. I was having problems with the Face Book book program Mafia Wars when I used the beta 4 version. I deleted the beta 4 version so I could use the 3.6 version I started receiving the Operation Canceled message. This occurs when trying to go to a website from my Outlook e-mail program.

    Thanks for posting back, Glad it worked.
    There are the two entirely separate methods of resuming with the previous tabs. As mentioned in the first part of my message, the method you have chosen is to specifically start with the last set of tabs instead of starting with a home page.
    The other method is to (maybe more as a one off) select to open with previous tabs from either the button in the default page, or from the history menu. It is this method that previously had the question as you closed down, there is no longer the question asking if you want to save the open tabs, although you do still get the option to use them on startup. It is a more sensible method, but it does cause concern for those of us used to being asked on closedown.

  • Firefox will not start when "firefox.exe" is typed in the start menu

    I usually use Firefox 10.0a1 UX experimental build. I know it's "unstable", but it works just fine for me. Anyways, it was feeling slow today, and was constantly hanging, so I decided to run '''firefox.exe -safe-mode''' from the start menu. I got the error: '''The procedure entry point NS_SetDllDirectory could not be located in the dynamic link library xul.dll.''' When I looked at the task manager, it showed that Minefield (the old name for nightly builds) was trying to run. I didn't even know I had Minefield, as I reinstalled Nightly after they changed the branding (around 5.0-6.0 nightly builds). My question is: How do I change the default '''firefox.exe''' to point to '''C:\Program Files (x86)\ux\firefox.exe''' and/or how do I resolve that error?

    I don't know about the error message you got but that is not the way to start a different version of Firefox -- include the pathname. And if you are trying to share a profile that is bad also as you could damage a profile, though Mozilla does try to avoid damaging, you should not mix the production version profile with one of a beta unless you are looking to create/solve additional problems for those that inadvertently do that. What does the UX stand for after 10.a1

  • When I open firefox 4 beta the webpage does not load and i am unable to click on any buttons or access menus

    This has only started happening today. When I start firefox 4 beta it opens and begins to load my homepage (google.co.uk) but the page never fully loads and firefox freezes. I am unable to click on any buttons on the navigation bar or access menus. Keyboard shortcuts are also unresponsive.
    All that I am able to do on the browser is to use the three window buttons in the top right of the screen (minimise, maximise and close).
    After closing the window if I try to open it again I get a message saying that Firefox is already running, but not responding. Once going into task manager and stopping firefox under the processes tab and then restarting firefox the window again freezes as soon as it opens.
    I have tried restarting my computer and reinstalling the beta but with no success. I am still able to use firefox 3.6.13 as well as chrome with no problems.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    I had this too. Starting firefox in safe-mode and disabling all add-ons solved the problem. After re-enabling all add-ons did not bring back the problem.

  • Firefox 4 Beta crashes everytime I open it. Then I'm forced to close the program and it won't let me restart it since it says it's already running. Which isn't true. I'm done trying it. Do you guys know about this problem?

    Everytime I start Firefox 4 beta it crashes. I usually can visit one site on the web (doesn't matter what site) and then it locks up. The only thing that works on the browser then is the close button. After clicking the close button I'll try to restart the browser and I'll get an error message saying it can't open Firefox because it's already open. Which is a bunch of BS. The only I can get Firefox started again is to restart my computer. This is so frustrating that I've given up trying. Hopefully you guys know about this bug and can do something about it. I wasn't trying to post a question here I just wanted to make sure you guys heard about this problem.

    yeah it is the gayest thing that happens :S what i do is turn off the internet, then open it, then turn on internet, then use it. :S OR make your homepage a tab.

  • Firefox 4 b8 crashes on program start, there is no error report.

    I just downloaded and installed firefox 4.0 b8. It will not load correctly, and crashes on startup. Sometimes I will see the UI, sometimes I will not. I have reinstalled the program, and I have started the program in Firefox safe mode, and as an Administrator. None of these seem to help. Does anyone else know what to do?

    To test to see if there is a problem with the profile (location where Firefox stores user data), try creating a new profile for use with Firefox 4 beta 8. For details of how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
    If it works with the new profile, you can copy some of the old data such as bookmarks and passwords from the old profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox Transferring data to a new profile - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]

  • I can't open adobe files in firefox 4 Beta.

    When I try to open an adobe file on a webpage, I get the following error message: The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running cannot be used to view PDF files in a web browser.
    This started when I installed the Firefox 4 Beta.

    Your System Details show that you do not have the Adobe Reader Plugin.
    Make sure Adobe Reader/Acrobat is installed. If you are sure that it is installed,
    I recommend -
    1. Open Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat.
    2. Click Help Menu and select Repair Adobe Reader\Repair Adobe Acrobat.

  • Silverlight plug-in does not works in FireFox 4 - beta 7 ( Mac OS 10.6.6 ) !!!! What is the problem ? I don't have any installed add-on !!!

    Hi every one
    Silverlight plug-in does not works in FireFox 4 - beta 7 ( Mac OS 10.6.6 ) !!!!
    I don't have any installed Extensions except "Better GReader" and "Video Helper" !!!
    I have problem with Seesmic.com and installing applications that required Silverlight !
    I installed latest version of Silverlight many times.
    Please help me.
    (I don't have any problem with Safari or other Web Browser.)
    Thank You all.

    Silverlight only supports non-64 bit versions of Firefox on OSX (and from Firefox 4 onwards we're shipping 64-bit Firefox to 64-bit OSX users) and unlike with other plugins, we can't just start a 32-bit process to run it because of issues with the silverlight plugin architecture. We're working with the Silverlight team at Microsoft to get those fixed but it's essentially waiting on them.
    (Or you could try to pressure them into releasing a 64-bit Silverlight for Macs.)

  • Everytime I open a window in Firefox 4 beta 2 I get a messeage that says TypeError: Components.classes(cid) is undefined, when I click OK it opens up the new window. How can I fix this?

    Everytime I open a window in Firefox 4 beta 2 I get a messeage that says TypeError: Components.classes(cid) is undefined, when I click OK it opens up the new window.

    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).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    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.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />
