Firefox 6.0.2: Periodic freezes every minute (60")

My problem is as follows: everything worked fine with my Firefox on all my computers. All of them were sync'ed with firefox sync (including my mobile).
Then, on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit desktop (Q9450 CPU, 4Gb of RAM, Asus P5KC motherboard Intel P35-based), I replaced the motherboard and the CPU. Obviously I reinstalled Windows from scratch and Firefox as well. From plugins, I installed only Adblock plus with the Easylist and malwaredomains lists. The same plugin (along with others) were installed previously on my desktop. I initiated a new sync and my bookmarks and everything obviously appeared ok.
On this new hardware platform (Q9650 CPU, 8Gb RAM, Asus Rampage Extreme, Intel X48-based) I experienced strange freezes, which felt that they ranged from 10" to 30". These happen while I am trying to do an action, like fill in a form for example. Firefox does not freeze while it is idle. When this freeze takes place, it affects only firefox. Nothing else gets affected. Made a clean uninstall, re-installed with only adblock plus and enabled firefox sync. Same issue...
It drives my crazy because both the motherboard and the cpu are better than the one I used to have. The system is not overclocked. All my other firefox installations work perfectly.
I should add that I also tried checking with certain sqlite commands the integrity of all sqlite databases. All were ok. Additionally, I deleted this system from sync, completely uninstalled ff, deleted the relevant Application data subdirectories and made a fresh install, only with adblock plus and re-enabled sync. Same issue. Also tried using other memory DIMMs. Same thing again.
Atm, it feels like this is either motherboard related OR there is a "blocker" somewhere. What strikes me a lot is that it works perfectly on all my other computers (remember that all of them are firefox sync'ed) and that the problem appears on the strongest of these machines...
I've read some bug reports in bugzilla that *seem* to be similar to mine, but can't quite correlate the same. Then I stumbled an excellent process explorer from winternals (mentioned in this thread here as well), which you can get from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653
Running this process explorer along firefox I noticed that initially all seem fine. Selecting View -> System Information I watched what happened while browsing. Initially, browsing causes some small spikes. Then something *very* strange happens (see attached pic):
Every 120" cpu load rises for approximately 60".
During the 60" cpu peak, firefox exhibits the freezing
firefox is ok during the rest (120-70=50") of the time only!
Note that this behaviour does not appear immediately at firefox start, but rather appears later on. I can not pinpoint the exact cause at this point. Once this 2 minute cycle starts, it does not stop until firefox exits!
Perhaps this should be submitted as a bug directly, but it felt like I had to gather some expert opinion here to help me and the devs on this.
EDIT: Updated info. From sysinternals, I can see that when the 60" peaks take place, cpu time is dominated by thread MOZCRT19.DLL (see 2nd screenshot). During that time, the following seem to be causing the peak:
mozsqlite3.dll!sqlite3_reset+0x2db1 mozsqlite3.dll!sqlite3_step+0xd9 xul.dll!?CanUseOpaqueSurface@Layer@layers@mozilla@@QAEHXZ+0x1d81 xul.dll!?CanUseOpaqueSurface@Layer@layers@mozilla@@QAEHXZ+0x1c58 xul.dll!?CanUseOpaqueSurface@Layer@layers@mozilla@@QAEHXZ+0x1bc6 xul.dll!NS_GetXPTCallStub_P+0xb59 xul.dll!?IsOriginalCharSkipped@gfxSkipCharsIterator@@QBEHPAH@Z+0x28f9a xul.dll!?GetEffectiveClipRect@Layer@layers@mozilla@@QAEPBUnsIntRect@@XZ+0x659 MOZCRT19.dll!_endthreadex+0x78 MOZCRT19.dll!_endthreadex+0x106 ntdll.dll!RtlInitializeExceptionChain+0x63 ntdll.dll!RtlInitializeExceptionChain+0x36

Firefox keeps crashing at random times every minute or so, need help.

Firefox crashes pretty much every minute I browse the internet. Sometimes even if I just leave it there doing nothing. I've tried safe mode. I've tried disabling hardware accaleration. I've tried creating a new firefox profile. I've tried disabling flashplayer protected mode. Nothing worked so far. Oh and I can enter some websites through firefox for a shortwhile before it crashes but I've noticed that going to imdb.com and mozilla.org causes it to crash instantly don't know if it helps.
Here are the lat 5 crashes:

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Firefox 21 causing flash to freeze every 10 seconds

Two days ago, I updated Firefox to version 21. Now, YouTube and all Flash videos freeze after 12 seconds of play. If i move the video frame one second, it plays for another 12 seconds and freezes again at second 24 frame and so on freezing every 12 seconds. I have updated Flash, but this didn't change anything. Also, no sound on videos. This only started right after i updated to Firefox 21. Now , I can't figure out how to go back to Firefox 20 and I can't watch videos.

Try to uninstall and reinstall Flash
*http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

I did a system update and now my computer freezes every minute

As we speak my computer is freezing at 1 minute intervals. It works fine for 1 minute and then stops anything I am doing (even if not online) and the rainbow circle comes on for another minute freezing anything I try to do. This is continuing as I am typing this, making this a long process. I think it has something to do with my system update.
I did a system update last night and it said it was going to install and restart my computer. But an hour later when I checked on my computer it had been stuck on the outerspace screen with nothing on it so it never restarted and I had to turn it off manually. After I turned it on myself I noticed it acting this way so I thought maybe it was because it could not restart to complete the update proccess so I tried to restart it but the computer would only get stuck on the same screen again. I tried it several times, it wouldn't shut down or sleep either when commanded to. I let it rest all night and this morning tried to restart it again and finally it did but the freezing continued. I don't know what is wrong or what to do. I have to type up a lot of homework and I cannot do it if it freezes on me while typing and if I try to save and it freezes again. Help!
I also looked for more system updates and it said it was already up to date.

No, it is set up to only sync selected books. But I even tried to just remove all books and not sync any and it won't let me do that. It always acts like it is syncing correctly, then all of a sudden all books I'm trying to remove get selected again.
I have a total of 20 books. 9 books are on the phone. I am trying to remove all but one of them and then add one other that currently isn't on the phone. I tried removing the ones I don't want first and syncing with the intention of adding the one I want after the others are removed. It wouldn't remove them. I tried unchecking the box that tells it to sync the books at all and remove everything and when I hit sync it just reverts back to the checked box and the 9 original books.

Start up computer not loading & freezing every minute

If anyone can shed some light on this I would be so grateful. So I started up my computer in safe mode as the computer keeps freezing with the multi coloured wheel of death, and it is not loading the icons on the desktop or the bar at the bottom. Just a plain Yosemite picture. Think it is over run but how can sort this out? Any help would be massively appreciated.

Two thoughts.
1. The OS on the old HD is specific to the old MBP and won't boot the new one.
2. Macs will not boot from an OS version that is older than the one current at the date of manufacture.

Firefox freezes every few minutes for a few seconds.

Firefox keeps freezing every few minutes, for a few seconds at a time. It's infuriating. It just happened right now while I was typing "infuriating". It's happened since I installed the Facebook Video Chat Plug-In, but I uninstalled that and it keeps happening.

Probably an over active security or "cleaning" program that's kicking in every few minutes and messing with Firefox.

Can you fix , the fact that If you leave the firefox update window open for a long period (say 20 minutes in the background), then close all other windowns, then choose to install, it uses this extra time to estimate the download?

(Mine said, 12 Hours to start with, but took under 2 minutes!)
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== When you install update to 3.6.4 (Possibly for every update?)

The download should happen in the background (before you get an update window). I wonder why that didn't happen for you...\
Did you manually check for updates?

None if these crash reports seem to have been send.
Do you have crash reports with a "bp-" prefix that were submitted and that show a crashing thread?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

*On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox

Premier pro play back screen goes black a freezes every 15 minute . This is my second mac pro with identical problems.

Premier pro play back screen goes black a freezes every 15 minute . This is my second mac pro with identical problems.

SOLVED!!!!!
SO I did some more digging around and read ATI cards seem to overheat easily. I knew the fan was working, but after closer inspection I realised there was ALOT of built up dust on the card and clogging the fan and airflow. Blew it out with alot of compressed air, stuck it back in the Mac and BAM...no black screens. I tested it by streaming 6 video sources...doing 2 screen captures at once as well as watching a HD movie in fullscreen. Did all this for 30 minutes and no crashes. I also downloaded an app to monitor the temps inside the computer and the expansion bay stays at 41 degrees. No clue what it was before but obviously it was hotter than that. So my problem is solved! Funny that 10.7.5 made the card work harder. I wonder if its off loading some CPU stuff to the GPU for processing more than 10.7.4 so its just working a bit harder and so it heats up faster....

MacBook Pro freezes every 15 minutes after Mavericks upgrade

After upgrading to OS X 10.9.3 my computer freezes every 15 or so minutes in the middle of working. The keyboard and touch pad stop working and the mouse curser disappears. I'm using Ableton audio software and the audio will continue playing and looping normally but I loose any control to stop the audio or the program and I can not switch windows or even control volume. The only way to stop it is to hold down the power button and reboot. When restarting I tried pressing the command option +P +R through 3 whole sequences and still once I begin working again it freezes again. This has never happened in the 5 or so years of owning this computer and everything worked great while using lion. Only after installing the new upgrade of OSX did it start to do this. Any help would be appreciated. I live far away from any Mac store or Genius Bar.

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
☞ When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent of each. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Firefox freezes every time I start it up

This started after I upgraded to 4.0 Every time I go to open Firefox, it opens fine, but freezes right after. The home page does not load, but its tab reads "google" and the little swirlie next to it is frozen too. I don't recall any system changes prior to the update. I figured eh whatever maybe it's 4.0 on my machine, but I just downloaded and installed 3.6, and the same problem occurs. I've been forced to use Opera for the last few weeks, because I refuse to use IE.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Premiere Elements 13 (demo) freezes every 5 minutes...

I'm currently looking for a new photo editor, so I'm trying the elements 13 demo and so far I start to like the program (except why is there no option to fill your texts with gradients? what's so damn hard about that?) But this program freezes every freaking time within 5 minutes.
I'm using the Elements 13 editor in expert mode, the program creates ~50% CPU load and that's it, I can't do anything...
system:
windows 7 x64
core2duo e8400
4 GB RAM
AMD HD 7850

The recommended forum post didn't work out. What appears to have worked, at least to this point, is the following:
Boot into OS X Recovery (restart your Mac and hold down the Command and R keys at startup).
Open Disk Utility and select your primary volume.
Click Verify Disk and if prompted, click Repair Disk.
Click Verify Disk Permissions and if prompted, click Repair Disk Permissions.
Exit and restart.
Premiere Elements 13 should function normally.
In my case I ran both Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions. It's been about 3-4 days after applying this and PE 13 no longer randomly crashes.
