Firefox 4 freezes for several seconds for some websites

The new Firefox 4 browser seem to have become a nightmare for me; its freezes for about 5-10 seconds while loading some webpages(not all websites).
For example webcosmo.com home page and most other pages.
cricinfo.com pages

Same problem here.
Solved by downloading & installing Adobe Flash "square" for both FF4 (plugin) and MSIE9 (ActiveX).
System: Intel Core i7-860/4GB, Win7 Ulti 64-bit SP1, MSIE 9 64-bit, FF4.
Good luck!

  • Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really.

    Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really. It has been doing this ever since I downloaded the latest update (7.0.1). It is really frustrating. Can you please help?

    You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
    Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.

  • Okular freezes for some pdf files

    My problem is that Okular freezes for some pdf files, the problem is NOT related to how big files are, or how many pics/raster in them. I have many pdfs that exceeds 90 MB and run smoothly. Moreover, I have also many large djvu files that run smoothly. Evince runs all files smoothly  as well. I have the latest stable okular with the latest stable poppler versions as of today.
    Okular freezes in a somewhat weird way, if I go down from page x to x+1 in contiuous mode, It freezes when I reach the gray bar that spearates the 2 pages, when I want to go back to page x from page x+1, which it is supposed to be cached and should load smoothly, Okular also freezes at the same place.
    My problem happens with small books having almost all text, and also happens with scanned books. The weird thing is that some other scanned books and some other all-text pdfs, e.g. academic papers, runs smoothly.

    Sounds like a bug. Try to report it to the bug tracker and be sure to add a file that shows the problem so that the devs can backtrace it.

  • Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

    Firefox is displaying unreadable characters when visiting some websites like digg. The sites work fine in all other browsers. I've tried all encoding options in firefox.

    This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
    Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

  • Flash games freeze for some seconds every some minutes

    I just had a stupid moment and upgraded from Firefox 22 to 30 yesterday. I know every version adds problems and removes features, but I wanted check what is the current status.
    Now, Firefox 30 freezes flash games for some seconds every some minutes. Of course, with the 22 this never happened.
    The computer is identical, only Firefox is changed.
    Considering the level of the answers here, I in advance say:
    * no there are no viruses or malwares - I said only Firefox is changed
    * yes I cleared cache cookies and other stuff people say when they do not know what else to say
    * yes flash is the same version
    * I have no theme and the addons are the same of the old version
    * I could care less about safe mode. The old version never saw safe mode and it worked fine
    Maybe there is some stupid about config setting for which Firefox want an useless disk access? something new in the version 30 I mean.
    Maybe version 30 is become so inefficient that when it updates the cache it freezes totally?
    I have last faint hope for some real practical suggestion, for which I thank in advance.
    With FF 22 I could play flash games for hours without problems, with v 30 I need to close it every hour otherwise it takes so much RAM (up to 2 GB) it totally hangs. But hey they removed the download window, they say "use an addon". When the RAM is totally out, they say "you have too many addons". Wonder why. Next time we will need an addon for supporting images?

    Hi zzzz1,
    This is a really good question. It has been a while since I have tried version 22, but you have mentioned most of the recommended troubleshooting steps including: malware, clearing cache(offline), updating flash, safe mode and no new add ons.
    I wonder if the new version has different system requirements.
    [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/22.0/system-requirements/ version 22][https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/30.0/system-requirements/ version 30]- No.
    There are add ons that optimize cache size and block flash content, as well as Ad block plus which blocks some scripts running in the browser. These could minimize the 2GB of Ram.
    In all practicality, have you tried reinstalling Flash or clearing the actual flash cache. This may mess with online game storage though, so maybe not.
    Have you tried a new profile? [[Using Multiple Profiles]]

  • New version of firefox keeps freezing for minutes at a time every time I open it and my computer is new and IE works fine but hate IE

    I have never had this problem before and it is happening on multiple computers. Firefox freezes for several minutes then unfreezes and works fine for awhile, then freezes again. Happening on two computers but not on other two only since 3.6 update. Please, help, as my brand new computer is doing this. It is not my ISP and does not happen on IE. Thanks!

  • 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.

  • New Laptop Freezes for some time

    Hello , I bought a new Laptop recently , updated drivers etc using SoftPaq , but noticed that laptop was freezing for few seconds with the HDD light full ON . so it kept getting worst with time . the first time it happened while i was playing a game (Assasions Creed iV) since that it got so worst that laptop started crashing , i did a diagnostic test from BIOS , it ddint pass the LONG DST test . so i went to the shop  i got it from and they said that the HDD is damaged and as 3 months has passed since the purchase you cant replace the HDD , so i bought a new 1 TB HDD..
    i am skeptical now , i did the Detail HDD test , it passed both the test BUT I STILL FACE THE PARTIAL FREEZE   , like while installing any program or opening firefox , or at random times / programs it would freeze completly , the mouse would move but nothing else , and the HDD light will be full on with white colour .
    I would like to know if its a Hardware issue or driver ISSUE . how do i point it out ? 
    let me know which all info is required I will share in detail

  • Firefox often Freeze for no Reason, i'm running on windows 7 ultimate 32-bit, with intel i3-380M 2.5Ghz, 2 GB DDR3 Memory

  • PLEASE HELP - eLearning freezes for some users

    Hello,
    I recently published a farely large eLearning program using Adobe Captivate 5.
    This program was released to over 400 people.  To avoid any streaming issues from one location, we had everyone save an exe file to thier desktop and run it locally.  Amazingly enough, 390 of the users were able to view the large presentation (with videos and sound) at real time speed.
    Unfortunately, there are about 10 users whose presentation freezes after 5 - 10 seconds.  It doesn't freeze at one particular slide, just after a certain time, whether they're viewing a slide or are watching a video.  I've tried publishing as htm, linking to the swf, and even uploaded the presentation to our LMS.  This works for the original 390 agents, but the presentation freezes for those 10 individuals using any of the methods I've tried.
    This of course leads me to believe that it has something to do with those particular PCs and Laptops.  I checked and made sure they had the most current version of Flash, but that's as far as I've gone.  I'm not sure what to check next and hope that someone here can point me in the right direction so that I may begin the troubleshooting process.
    Thanks.

    As .exe files without any reliance on remote content, yes I would agree, the problems are likely the individual computers.
    First, perhaps ask those users to try a different machine if they can, just to verify they can get it working elsewhere....as opposed to perhaps the distributed file being corrupted for those few users somehow.
    To troubleshoot on the specific machines, that can get very complicated. Three easy/common issues:
    1. video card drivers - ask them to find the latest version and update. It's a pretty generic solution but can be the root of many problems
    2. Install the latest Flash player (though your .exe may include the player, perhaps its conflicting with one they have installed?)
    3. Ensure they have no viruses on their machine. If they do, absolutely no guarantee the product will ever work for them. Getting them to admit they have one, or even discovering they have a virus, may be impossible though. Do they at least have current antivirus software running?
    3b (and if they do have AV software running, see if they can disable it temporarily and successfully run the program. Like the video card driver issue, while unlikely, it could be their AV software is interfering with the .exe playback)
    HTH

  • IMac keeps freezing for some reason?

    Every time I try to watch a video or play an online game, (anything that moves) it freezes every 10 seconds. Even typing this message just now it froze for a second. What is going on? It isn't my internet because I have reset it many many times. Can anyone PLEASE help me?
    P.S. It's a newer iMac, I bought it last year. I also just recently installed Snow Leopard. I think that's the problem? (By the way it froze twice more while typing this).

    HI Nick,
    I assume you are using the Safari browser.
    Try uninstalling the Flash Player Plugin, then reinstall it.
    First, uninstall the Flash plug in you have now.
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    Next, download and install the most recent version of Flash Player Plugin here.
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    Quit any open applications. Launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Select Mac intoshHD i the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab and click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's fished, from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. They can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" .. you're done.
    Do Safari Maintenance about once a month.
    And information here regarding Mac OS X - Maintenance.

  • Depreciation freeze for some asset for some months.

    Hi
    assets have been capitalized on 01.01.2012 and depreciation has been run for 1 and 2 month now the cleint requirement is that, they want to stop depreciation for some assets up to April and calculate the depreciation again from 01/05/2012. Please suggest what should we customize for this issue.
    Your feedback would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Danish
    Edited by: danish01 on Mar 7, 2012 9:07 AM

    Hi Danish,
    One possibility is to use Shut Down feature.. and the other is using a depreciation key 0000, which is a time dependent depreciation feature and is available only from ECC 6.0 EHP4 onwards..
    Before EHP4, if u use depreciation Key 0000, system reverses the entire epreciation posted in that year in that particular month, but from EHP4 onwards, system does not reverse if you use 0000 depreciation key, but only posts Zero depreciation for those months when you have applied 0000, As soon as you restore your original depreciation keys, it will again post normally..
    Hope this helps..

  • Problem With Logging in for some websites...

    there are some korean websites that I used to go
    frequently with my PC....
    they work with the web browsers I have...
    and yet,I cannot log in for some reason...
    can somebody help me find out
    why it is not logging in or
    if somebody knows will u tell me??
    also if there are any ways to log in....;;;
    +_ +
    thank you....

    Here is another similar problem altho unfortunately not an answer to the first problem.. When I try to open the Palm Inc. website, the various parts of the site seem to overlay earch other. It's as if the page were cut up and dropped onto my screen, with some areas not readable or partially visible, and usually all the blanks to fill in are covered. I have tried to log into their discussion group but when I try to activate my account. I find the Continue button is covered by the site's various tabs. An email to Palm has resulted in no answer yet, but I'm hoping someone here has had a similar problem. This has happened on only one or two other websites and I can't remember which ones.
    By the way, I am using the Explorer 5.3 browser which comes with my bellsouth.net email program. Besides the loyalty to Mac, should I switch over to using Safari? I see a number of problems using it, like not being able to log into bank chsecking account websites.
    This is my first login here on Apple discoussions, so if I am in the wrong area, pls let me know. bob.c
