Firefox 8.0.1 frequently hangs on osx 10.7.2

Ever since I moved to Firefox 8 (on osx Lion) I find that it hangs quite frequently. It typically happens after a having used it successfully for a while and then moving away from it. When I return to the browser after a few minutes I find that it's hung... It never used to happen with FF7 or older...

Whenever I've had issues with FF after an update, it is normally an Add-On that is not playing nice.
My most recent problem was Firefox not responding right at launch.
I created a new profile and it worked right away.

And be sure not to delete your old profile! *cough*likeIdid*cough*

Firefox 18 on Mountain Lion frequently hangs with spinning ball for 1 min while a page is loading, or while opening a new tab. No tabs useable

Firefox 18 on Mountain Lion. Frequently hangs for minutes with spinning ball, usually while a page is loading (status bar says "loading..." "waiting..."), but sometimes just while on the same page. Other tabs and windows are not useable, even though only one tab is waiting. I usually have 2-4 windows open with several tabs each. Behavior is no different in safe mode. This is making the browser unusable.
In the past this happened and I've reinstalled or created a new clean profile, but it always recurs.

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.

This happened a long time ago when I was still using XP. There were a few possibilities, but unfortunately unable to help much as we cannot see your screen, setup, programs etc.
Suggestion, in order of what I think is possible reasons
1) If you have 2xRam, swap their locations and run ram diagnostic, faulty memory?
2) Plug out your network cable and turn off wifi and do the shutdown, sympton remains?
3) Check your firefox addson for anything that syncs, eg bookmark syncing, backup etc
4) Download ccleaner, clean the registry and empty all the trash etc
5) Download and use a free tool call ProcessTamer, this one works for XP, it sometimes helps regulate those CPU usuage, "idling process" or something
6) Uninstall your java, download the latest and reinstall it. There was an add on that fouls up IE that casue all the slowness, unsure if your installation of firefox has it.

Frequent Hangs

Hi
I'm using an MBP with OSX 10.5.4 and get frequent hangs when closing all kind of different programms. "Mail" always hangs when I try to close it, sometimes also "System preferences", "Activity Monitor", "Addressbook" and a couple of 3rd-party-programs.
How can I figure out, where the problem comes from? I found the Log "Hang reporter", but it doesn't say too much.

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You can trash Firefox 4.0 then re-install Firefox 3.6, it will use your existing bookmarks, passwords etc
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

You can try resettng it but if it doesnt resolve, I suggest you bring it back to the care point so they can reflash it. I suspect they may have used the wrong version.

Firefox stops working, its process hangs and it is impossible to terminate it.

After some time (hours or days) firefox stops loading pages (showing "Connecting..."). CPU usage of Firefox process as about 10% (my computer has 4 cores). If I try to exit Firefox, the process remains to hang forever until restarting of computer. So, I cannot just stop Firefox and start it again.

Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

I have one iPad 3. But it is frequently hanging. More over the sound disappears. I have to restart the device to bring back the sound. Today I can't even restart as none of the icons are responding to touch. Why this is happening?

I have one iPad 3. But it is frequently hanging. More over the sound disappears. I have to restart the device to bring back the sound. Today I can't even restart as none of the icons are responding to touch. Why this is happening?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Firefox 12 just installed on MacBook Pro, OSX 106.8. FF looks great, seems faster also. BUT, on tab menu, the small triangle (to list the tab info) is missing; I can't find a way to reinstall it using the View->Toolbars->Customise option. Can you help?

You will only see the "List All Tabs" button in Firefox 12+ if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.

I'm wondering if I should update to firefox 5 from firefox 3.6? I use Zotero for my dissertation research and I have lots of stored info in Firefox 3.6 like frequent flier numbers that load automatically that I don't want to lose. Suggestions?

I'm wondering if I should update to firefox 5 from firefox 3.6? I use Zotero for my dissertation research and I have lots of stored info in Firefox 3.6 like frequent flier numbers that load automatically that I don't want to lose. Suggestions?

My advice is to stick with Firefox 3.6.x for a while yet, it is still supported.
Otherwise, see the Zotero website for advice about their program and updating to Firefox 5.0 (or 6.0 when it is released in 3 weeks).

Photoshop CC Frequently Hangs

I'm having an issue with Photoshop CC where it will frequently hang (rotating set of dots instead of a cursor), and I can't save, quit, or perform any other function, and have to use Force Quit in order to regain my session. This happens even when it's the only application running.
I've never had this issue before - I'm just doing some simple paintings on a small canvas (<1024x1024), and can't work for longer than 10min without Photoshop hanging on me. It's at the point where I have autosave set to every 2min, that's how frequently it can happen.
I'm using a Macbook Retina running OS X 10.8.4

Before creating the new user account, I wanted to make sure I could duplicate the error in my default user account first - I could not.
What's different from today and yesterday are the peripherals I'm using. Yesterday I was connected to a Thunderbolt Display, and using a Wacom Intuos5 as input.
Today I am not connected to the display, and am using a bluetooth mouse, and haven't had any problems with Photoshop at all.
I am not at home to test this (but will update once I get the chance), but I'm wondering if the problem is a result of rendering on an external monitor, or the Tablet drivers, or a combination of both?

Frequent Hangs & beeps on restart

My laptop has ATi Radeon HD 4500 series. I have xf86-video-ati installed.
The laptop hangs frequently, by freeze I mean Everything hangs. I cant boot switch to console using Ctrl+Alt+F{1..6}.
After I do a hard reset, I get beeps 2-3-4-3 which means "Display non-disposable segments" for my Phoenix motherboard.
There are times when I dont get a freezed system but I get kernel panic like this -> http://i.imgur.com/OKZdx.jpg
Sometimes, it also happens that I get the above screen at startup too.
I have tried searching google but I couldnt do anything much with that beep-code. (I am also not able to understand what that actually means).
I also had catalyst-hook installed earlier, in that also I had the same issue of hangs but I never got kernel panic.
Summary:
With xf86-video-ati: Kernel panic + frequent hangs + 2-3-4-3 beeps on startup.
With catalyst-hook: frequent hangs + 2-3-4-3 beeps on startup.

lagagnon wrote:Beep codes mean you have a hardware fault - nothing to do with the OS. Those beep codes and kernel panics to me suggest faulty RAM. You can run memtest from the Arch CD or any other Live Linux CD or the UltimateBootCD to test your RAM - but I suspect that is your problem.
Windows7 runs on the same laptop without any issues so its sure to be some problem with faulty device drivers..
