Firefox 8.0 regularly hangs on startup. It didn't at first but now it does.

I start the program and it goes into "Not responding" and stays there for over a minute. In fact, it just did this when I tried to open the Troubleshooting Information window in a new tab (got a "trouble with script" error).
I looked in the "FireFox hangs" support doc and there is no information there for my operating system, it's all WinXP.

Try to reinstall Firefox 9.0.1.

Firefox stopped working and hangs upon startup

First, a problem with iTunes - could not access the iTunes store. Uninstalled iTunes and re-installed, then Firefox hung up, had to close with Task Manager. After that Firefox hangs on startup. Have uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, still hangs on startup. Using Windows 7 OS.

Firefox will not load to start in safe mode - it is just a blank white screen with no radio buttons or icons on it and the circling icon for loading.
I deleted my old profile and uninstalled Firfox and tried downloading again, but the same problem exists. I am currently using IE as my browser, but prefered Firefox (when it worked). It seems the new version is the problem.

Firefox dumped me out. I uninstalled and tried to re-install, but now it won't re-install. I assume Microsoft Explorer is somehow sensing this and dumping me. Firefox used to work perfectly until recently. How can I re-install?

I downloaded Firefox and it worked perfectly for awhile. It then dumped me out and my screen showed a blue background with a "critical error" message. It kept dumping me out, so I uninstalled Firefox and tried to re-install. Now it won't even re-install. As the re-install process almost finishes, I get dumped and the same "critical error" screen appears. I assume there is something with Microsoft or Explorer that is sensing what I'm trying to do and stopping me. How can I get Firefox to download again?

I love a good anti-Microsoft story, but this isn't likely to be Redmond Sabotage.
If you got a blue screen, you might be near the end of this computer (dying hardware) or need to reinstall your OS (reinstall Windows). Windows gets "clogged" and needs reinstalled ever six months to a couple years, depending on your use. System restore might help you here.
You might have malware that's trashed critical system files (or just corrupted something which should be removed with a Firefox uninstall but can't), but [http://www.google.com/#q=blue+screen+of+death the blue screen is never a good sign]. System restore may or may not help in that case.
Try installing something else and see if it succeeds. [http://openoffice.org/ Open Office] is a great application suite, though it's a bit large to download. [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/ SpyBot] is only around 17MB IIRC.
Best of luck!

Firefox 9.0.1 hangs on startup after update (OSX 10.6.8), even in safe mode.

I shut down Firefox because some parts of the www.washingtonpost.com site no longer displayed (icons), and Firefox automatically installed the update on restart.
Then the "Well this is embarrassing..." Restore Session screen popped up, but the program hung a few seconds after I clicked Restore Session. I had to Force Quit to close it.
Every time since then Firefox presented the same Restore Session screen, but hung after only a few seconds. Until I tried working with Safe Mode, and turning off customizations. Now it just hangs on a blank screen.

Try to reinstall Firefox 9.0.1.

How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

I have updated the squite.places file to prevent Firefox from hanging constantly. This seems to have worked but now I can't see the comments on news websites.

Over the last few days Mozilla Firefox has been hanging every few seconds. I updated the squite.places file as instructed which seems to have corrected the problem, however it has had a side effect. I can no longer see the comments on newspaper sites, e.g. The Times, the Independent both of which I believe use Disqus. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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

I deleted some apps in Firefox 4, opened 3.6, closed it, and opened 4 again. But now Firefox 4 is having some severe problems.

After doing what I described in the thread title, Firefox 4 presented the following issues:
1- Tabs would not close.
2- The "forward" and "back" button would not be lit or clickable, as if I didn't visit any websites. Although pages did load, I could not go back and forth between them via these buttons.
3- the "feedback" button in the right-hand side of the screen was completely gone. Trying to download the respective feedback app that Mozilla provides didn't work, it wouldn't download.
4- the App Management screen would not open.
5- I did not save any of the pages from the previous session. So I closed FF 4 and opened 3.6 once again (wich appears to be functioning normally) and the pages came back
So basically my FF 4 got completely messed up. Reinstalling it did nothing. Cleaning the registry with Registry Mechanic was to no avail either. I had to uninstall FF4 since it was unusable.
Possibly useful fact: The apps I had removed in FF 4 were also removed in 3.6, wich indicates that maybe the FF 4 installation did not create copies of it's own for the bookmarks, apps, cache etc, so I am afraid to delete those when the FF 4 uninstallation wizard prompts me to, as it would also probably delete the stuff I have in 3.6 .
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started after using Firefox 3.6 then switching to 4 again.

I assume by apps you mean add-ons or extensions or plugins. These are held in the profile.
Unless you set up a new profile, then FF4 and FF3 would be using the same one.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
When I test a beta I always use a new profile, or update one from a previous version, but I would never expect the profile to be usable again in a previous version of Firefox.
Since FF4 has a new add-on manager it doesn't surprise me that FF 3 won't work with a profile that's been modified in FF 4.

Despite my selecting Firefox as default browser, any link clicked goes to open IE browser, but that too does not open and sends an error message. Please advise.

I installed a HP printer on my desktop. To do this I had to temporarily discontinue some services (start/run/services.msc). The printer was installed successfully, but IE got currupted, it seems. Any link clicked went to IE instead of my default browser Firefox, but IE too would not function.
Please advise what may have happened and how do I correct it?

{Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.

When I first started the firefox I could see the top including the option tabs and everything but now I can't; I want to go back to how it was but I don't know how; I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling; help me!

How do I get it back to the way it was? I want to see the options and bookmark tabs at the top left. It is kind of ironic that I had to use another browser to ask this question.

Hit F11 - does that bring it back?
If not, try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and can't find my imacros add on. It was there at first but now is gone

I have a lot invested in imacros and need to be able to get my info back.

What do you mean? when did you press F8? What page were you on? What function what taking place?

Firefox 31 hangs on startup with no error messages

Simply put, Firefox hangs right on startup. I see it loading the two generic tabs and then the wheel spins and then it says 'Not Responding' on the top of the window. I have to force close it each and every time, and I've also tried the following solutions in no particular order to alleviate the issue:
1) Ran SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes last night for any possible infections. Reported back with nothing.
2) Booted my laptop up in Safe Mode (with networking) and still couldn't get it to operate.
3) Performed several clean uninstalls and re-installations which also included clearing out the profiles altogether and then trying to open it again, nothing.
4) Booted up Firefox by holding down the shift key and resetted it to its default settings and then tried firing it up again. Nothing.
5) Attempted booting up FF in Safe Mode with the shift key, nothing.
6) Created a new profile and tried booting FF, nothing.
7) Read this article http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hyper-Threading about Hyper-Threading and followed the instructions which got it to operate, but I can't access the toolbar or the option menus. When I click on options Firefox closes with no error messages. I have a feeling this isn't the issue at hand but I figure I'd try it and at least I can get it to fully load and not hang.
8) Deleted all Firefox extensions and Plug-ins, nothing.
9) Enabled Firefox through firewall and antivirus settings, nothing.
10) Updated my BIOS firmware as suggested in #7, nothing.
I've done almost 10 different things and I still can't figure out why Firefox keeps hanging on startup. I've looked into Youtube videos for tutorials and others posted about the Java crashing that was happening in an earlier version of FF. Since its not crashing, I'm unable to look into the crash logs and pinpoint a crash number or anything because it just freezes and when I click to close it I get a message saying: 'Close program' or 'Wait for it to respond.'
I'm running a 64 bit Windows 7 on an HP Pavilion g6-1c44wm Notebook PC

I'm trying to be specific as possible! Please help! I'm at the end of my rope here!

Try to completely uninstall firefox, that means to '''delete''' the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory#Windows Installation directory] located for your 64bit in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\ , also, '''delete''' the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox and '''if exist''', '''delete''' the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox.
then download and install again a new full installer from : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
disable firewall and antivirus and antispyware for a little bit, and run firefox. any luck ?
thank you

Firefox hangs upon startup

When I try to start firefox it does nothing. Via CLI it does the same - nothing. It just sits there and appears to be hung up. No pid, nada.
Deleted ~/.mozilla and tried to run firefox -profilemanager. Same thing, just hangs.
Tried to run firefox -v just to see if it return the version -no joy. Hangs.
no locks present and did a killall firefox before each attempt.
Uninstalled via yum and reinstalled via yum. Same.
Is there a log file I can view to try to determine whats hanging upon startup?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode 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).
 To Enable SafeMode 
*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 it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

WebLogic 10.3.2.0 hanging at startup after "The server log file is opened."

Hi,
A WebLogic 10.3.2.0 server is hanging at startup. There are no error messages. The last command in the startup window is:
"The server log file <log file dest> is opened. All server side log events will be written to this file."
I think the next line should be:
"Security initializing using security realm realm."
Any ideas on what could be the issue? For instance what resources should be accessed at that point of time? There is sufficient space left on the (virtual machine) disk. The VM configured with 8GB memory. Could it be performance related still?

10.7.4 Hanging at Startup

I don't often find the need for these forums, but I've got a tough one this time. Here's my issue:
I was recently using my late 2008 MBP (6 Gig RAM, 500 Gig HD) without issue as I have done for the last several years. The other night, I was running my DJ software (Traktor) which worked fine all night. I ended the night and shut the lid on my MBP, the next day, Traktor was still shutting down (as it does on occasion). I gave it a few minutes, but it seemed to have crashed so I force quit the program. Things seemed to be running slow so I restarted. When I did, my system hung on startup at the gray Apple screen with the spinning wheel. After many days and many, many troubleshooting routines, I'm STILL unable to make this go away permanently. Here's what I've tried:
(I've always been able to boot in Safe Boot mode, so that's how I've been doing maintenence)
Initially, I thought this was probably related to my DJ software so I uninstalled it (including manually uninstalling all extensions and preferences).
That didn't work so I started cleaning out my system (I haven't done a fresh install of OSX since like 2005, so it was probably time anyways). Still, no luck.
I reinstalled 10.7.4. Success, but only for the initial startup. A subsequent reboot and I'm back at the stalled startup.
Try removing more stuff from the system to no avail.
Wipe hard drive completely, reinstall OS X. WORKS!
So, I start migrating things back over from my backup (I used CCC instead of TM because I wasn't sure of the integrity of my TM backup). Things seem to be going OK.
Reinstall Messages beta and restart. NOOOOOO. Back hanging at same place.
I figure it has something to do with Messages, so I Uninstall the Messages beta. Still hanging at startup.
Getting really frustrated now.
Time to try a blast from the past: Applejack. Yes, I know, it's not officially supported under 10.7, but low and behold, cleaning caches gets me back in business--but only for one reboot. Then I'm back at a stalled startup until I clean the caches again (and it's the system cache, not the user cache).
I tried resetting the SMC and the PRAM and then immediately cleaning the system caches. That again gives me one good restart then back to the hanging startup. And, that's where I'm at now.
I'm absolutely stuck. I literally have not experienced this kind of issue in at least five years, so I could really use a hand on this one. The last log entry that I'm getting on the stalled startup is this:
6/28/12 11:25:39.364 PM ntpd: proto: precision = 1.000 usec
Then it just hangs forever. The spinning progress wheel just freezes. I left it sitting overnight at that screen, so I'm 100% sure that it's not going anywhere.
I have a couple of theories on what the issues could be, but at this point, I'm totally open to suggestions. From what I can tell (from watching the logs over the course of several (seems like) hundred startups), it seems like this is about the point in the startup where iCloud is trying to check my user credentials. That said, I could be totally off base with that. Also, although the preceeding log entry seems to come after this on occasion, I'm NOT seeing this entry on any of the startups that hang:
6/28/12 11:25:38.000 PM kernel: NVDANV50HAL loaded and registered.
Seems to me that this could be an issue too since that's obviously associated with the graphics hardware.
So, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Something you haven't mentioned is whether you have tried booting
from your clone and having the same issues. Did you try that?
If it boots and works fine from the clone, then there could be
a corrupted file trying to be accessed at boot (possible bad sector)
on the internal drive or it could be that the drive is starting to
give out.

Mac Pro 3,1 (early 2008) RAID card hangs at startup

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro 2.8Ghz Quad Core (early 2008) with 10GB RAM and 512MB VRAM.
I have noticed that the Mac Pro RAID card hangs at startup for RAID volumes.
It seems to start okay with a single boot drive (have used both WD Raptor 150GB 10K and Seagate 'factory' 320GB 7200rpm as boot drives...)
But the RAID 0 array using two factory 1TB WD 7200rpm is what seems to hang at startup. I have run Disk Warrior, Disk Utility and RAID Utility and found no major errors...
Any suggestions? Have already replaced the RAID Card battery with OEM part.
Thanks!

Say good-bye to the Apple Pro RAID card. It started its life as a $999 card to support SAS/SCSI and/or RAID5.
Then the problems with 2.5TB drives, battery, and does it really do something and add to your system.
I would use SoftRAID and create a 3-drive mirror of 2TB drives instead.
And an SSD for the system.
Seems like those are some very old drives.
I have a lot of the 150GB 10K VR drives, and some 300GB along with older 74GB and a couple of the Raptor series. Loud and while solid I would use for spare boot drives, clone only.
Backup your data, pull the RAID card, and restore to the drives. And clone the system onto a 250GB $109 SSD. $139 buys a 400MB/sec writes and 800MB/sec reads Samsung PCIe-SSD XP941. None of my SCSI 15K drives would come close.

Firefox 8.0 regularly hangs on startup. It didn't at first but now it does.
