Firefox continually hangs even after trying the solutions listed here, and in other sites, and I can't find any common link to pinpoint what is causing it.

I love Firefox but I may have no choice but to try Chrome instead. Over the past couple of weeks the version of Firefox I have installed on my Lenovo Edge 15 latop (which is the most current version of Firefoxc), hangs several times an hour, for approx a minute each time. I have tried to locate the cause of the problem by eliminating the websites I commonly visit, but it seems that it does not matter what website I visit, it continues to happen. I have even tried loading Firefox in safe mode and it still makes no difference. And this problem is only affecting Firefox, and none of my other programs are affected. I have used resource monitor to try and locate the problem and, when this problem occurs, Firefox is reported as taking up 25% of CPU consumption. I am using Windows 7.

I have a Mac and have tried the suggestion above with the places.sqlite but it DID NOT HELP! FIREFOX IS STILL HANGING!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been a real fan of firefox for several years, but lately it's just plain annoying!!! I have to force quit FF several times a day. I THINK I'M GOING TO SWITCH TO SAFARI until you guys get your act together soon :(

Firefox keeps crashing even after trying the suggestions in your helpful articles.

I get this error message: Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
Firefox crashes within a few minutes of being on Internet. Most Web pages crash. I need to open multiple tabs to work, and it always crashes soon after I start to work. This began after updating to 4. I replaced 4 with the older version, but the problem keeps happening. This is part of the crash message I get, but it's crashed several times & reports aren't exactly the same. I also disabled Silverlight plugin, another recommended solution. That didn't work either.

That looks like a problem with your BitDefender AV software (BdProvider.dl, avcuf32.dll)
You can try to disable BD extensions or check advanced settings for Firefox in BD.
You can also try to contact BD for support.

If Firefox didn't crash in Safe Mode then it is likely caused by an extension.

I can't find the reset firefox command button - even after trying the menu and the trouble-shooting page as per the directions.

I want to reset firefox but all I get to after following the directions in Mozilla support is every more descriptions/explanations of what the commands mean. But I never get to the actual command 'reset firefox'. Where is it?

By way of background, this is the article on Reset describing what it does, what you keep, what you lose, and how to do it: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
So... is the button missing? Open the support page using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
The Reset button usually is in the upper right corner of the page in its own little box. Missing?
By the way, why do you want to reset?

Just downloaded DW CC. Bought expensive book that tells me to use "Expanded Workspace" but the only options I see in window or workspace button are "Design" Extract" and one other. No where can I find "Expand" or "Compact" which the books says are the two

Just downloaded DW CC. Bought expensive book that tells me to use "Expanded Workspace" but the only options I see in window or workspace button are "Design" Extract" and one other. No where can I find "Expand" or "Compact" which the books says are the two choices.

Glad to be of help .
I won't be spending any more money on expensive books now that I know you can't actually get one that applies to the latest version.
Don't get me wrong. I like books. Classroom in a Book series is an excellent resource to have. You will learn a lot from it. Just don't get side-stepped by Creative Cloud's update schedule. No publishing house can keep pace with it. If you stay informed about new releases from Adobe's "What's New" Blogs, you will get your money's worth out of your books. Online Help (F1) is another good resource to use since it is updated fairly often.

Firefox 4 constantly runs slow,even after following the solutions

I have tried the solution pages and help,but firefox 4 optimised for yahoo still continues to run slow. I have never had this problem with firefox 3.6 for yahoo. this is driving me crazy,please help!!

try google chrome 10.x, these kinds of problem often happens to some specific websites. so, you need an alternative sometimes. and sometimes it is the problem of the websites, so calm down buddy. during internet rush hours i.e 18:00-22:00 monday to friday, it may make you unpleasant even with some BIG websites, so don't be that fuss to this.

How do I diable WebGL in Firefox 5.0. I tried the solution from the forum for FF4 but could not find "webgl" in about:config.

Search using Firefox Help for disable WebGL returned the following question: How does one disable Webgl ? and a subsequent solution. Unfortunately, when trying to use the solution in FF5.0, it fails in step 3 when a "find" fails to locate "webgl". So, since there is a known problem with WebGL security in many browsers, how do I disable WebGL in FF5.0?

The pref webgl.disabled (true) is still there on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Can't connect to the iTunes Store

My system was re-set during repairs and I have lost my Firefox bookmarks. Are these stored anywhere on the system? I did a full backup of documents and programme files before repair, but can't find any bookmark file.

I did not do backups of the bookmarks regularly, since I thought these would be saved somewhere. However, I can't find any bookmark files on my backed-up system.

Thanks - now I can see an applications folder, and have found a .default file, hope this is the one. Should I now follow these instructiosn to restore my profile, or just go to organise bookmarks and import the default file?
Copying files between profile folders
Note: Firefox must be closed down while copying files between profile folders.
1. Open your profile folder:
* (Firefox 3.0 and 3.5): See How to find your profile
1. (Firefox 3.6): At the top of the Firefox windowOn the menu bar, click on the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information.... The Troubleshooting Information tab will open.
2. Under Application Basics, click on Open Containing FolderShow in Finder.
2. From the menu at the top of the Firefox windowbar, select FileFirefox and then select the ExitQuit FirefoxQuit menu item.
3. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click on a file you want to copy and choose Copy.
4. Open the new Firefox profile folder.
5. Right-clickHold down the Ctrl key while you click inside the profile folder and choose Paste Item.
Repeat steps 2-5 for each file you wish to transfer over to your new profile folder.
While copying your personal data from an old Firefox profile to a new Firefox profile, it is possible that you could copy over the file that is causing the problem you are trying to get rid of! The more files you copy over, the greater the chance of this happening. It is therefore recommended that:

I have a radiobar bar at the top of the screen below the menu bar and it seems to be stopping me from listing to music on other sites and printing on hotmail how do i get rid of it?

I was looking for a site to view videos and downloaded this radiobar and it was installed on the top of the firefox screen. Do you know how to get rid of it? Also, when I go to check my shaw cable account it will not let me see the invoice???????

HT4623 Where do I find the software application here in my iPhone be because I can't find it to my setting

Where do I find software update with my iphone4 because I can't find it to my general setting

If you are using iOS 4 you will have to connect your iPhone to a computer and apply the latest update via iTunes, I highly recommend backing up your iPhone. This will update your iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1 and then you will be able to see the software update feature on your iPhone. Go Here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
You will have to check the current version of your iOS. If you are using iOS 5 or later you will see how to update here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
To check your current iOS version from your iPhone - Go to Settings > General > About... and scroll down to version.

Firefox can't connect to the internet even after trying all solutions from firefox support.

Since Firefox added a pluging or update, every time I open Firefox, it gives me an error message that says unable to connect. I have tried everything in the Firefox support page and, the problem has not been solved. I am currently using IE and, it's working fine.

You didn't specifically mention what you have tried or which support articles you have read. The largest problem after a Firefox program update is a Firewall blocking the updated Firefox executable. 
See the instructions for the Firewall in use on your PC. 
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firewalls

I cannot disable by pop up blocker. Even after unchecking the 'block pop up windows' option in preferences and restarting firefox and my computer several times I still cannot open many sites without going through the annoying pop up bar...Help!

"firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" is the message on the status bar that appears when I try to open facebook via an email message to follow a thread.
