Firefox does not respond for several minutes when coming logging on after locking my vista laptop

This has happened for several days in a row but it happened sporadically before the update to 6.02. The laptop is a Compaq Presario C700 2GB RAM, plenty of space on the hard drive, Vista 32-bit SP2. I do not have a problem using IE or Chrome. I do have about 10 tabs open (this varies to less to more depending on what I'm working on) however, it has happened with less and more.

  • When I click to enlarge an image in eBay, Firefox does not respond.

    I open up Firefox and go to the eBay website. I click on an item to view the listing. I then click on the image, or the 'Enlarge' icon to view a larger version of the image. The problem is that Firefox does not respond. It comes up with "javascript;" in the little dialogue box that pops up in the bottom left corner.
    When I use Internet Explorer, I don't have the problem. Could anyone suggest what is wrong?

    Make sure that you do not block JavaScript
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/JavaScript
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox does not re-initiate TCP session when receiving RST-ACK

    Hello guys,
    I’m writing to report a disparity between firefox and IE/Chrome when receiving RST-ACK.
    To mitigate SYN flood attack, one of the countermeasures of anti-ddos appliance is to reset the first 3-way handshake and expect a re-initiated new tcp session from that client. If the real client, browser for example, automatically re-initiate a new session, users won’t feel too much differences except time of delay. If a browser does not automatically start a new session, users have to manually refresh the page within an interval, like 60 seconds.
    We got reports from customers that firefox gave notifications of connection reset, as Graph 1 is. I tested with IE11, Chrome and firefox. It’s found that Chrome and IE will automatically started a new session, while firefox does not. For firefox users, they had to manually refresh the page.
    Anti-ddos appliance (A10 TPS, Arbor & HUAWEI secospace) does provide another option to avoid seeing this notification. I understand there must be consideration and good reasons for firefox to design the browser this way. May I ask whether it is possible to adjust a little on firefox to let it automatically re-fresh the page when seeing a RST-ACK please? Guess it’s quite common for firefox users to see the notification when access URLs during DDos attacks, because for A10 TPS & Arbor, the default setting is to reset the first 3-way handshake.
    Feel free to let me know if I missed something and got things wrong.
    Appreciate it much for your time!

    ops, seems packets are not allowed to be uploaded. anyone willing to check my question, kindly reach me at [email protected]

  • Bloody Hell, I install Firefox 4 beta 11 and nothing happens home page loads, and thats it, firefox does not respond

    I run 3.6.13 I tried to install beta 4. 11, it downloads and installs, it opens the home page, but that's it, the throb er works but Firefox does not respond, i mean like in nothing, it is dead, you click anywhere on the toolbar, and it is like a dead dog.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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 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.

    i cann't turn the zoom off in my iphone. It does not respond for three fingers tapping.
    and it is hard to chose the icons and options because of this problem
    what can i do.

    Hi osh17,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can turn off Accessibility features using a computer as well.  That may be easier to do if Zoom is causing difficulty in using your device:

  • Firefox does not start for very long after clicking!!If another browser is opened Firefox opens after that.

    Firefox does not open after clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Occasionally it opens after a very long time and that also a number of pages open at the same time equal to the number of times hat I clicked the icon trying to open. If I open another browser like Google Chrome after trying to open Firefox then Firefox follows it to open much quicker after Google chrome opens.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit 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 others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • Illustrator 25% off the time "program not responding" for 35 seconds when network is active

    Hi
    My Client have 4 computers, all win7, running cs 5 or 6, the newest the cloudbased version.
    The problem has been sinc upgrading from cs3.
    "Program not responding" for 35 seconds, before loading the file on 1/4 of time.
    It is not on specific files, and no patton.
    it does'nt matter if the files are on network or saved local on Harddrive.
    the sice does'nt matter.
    Only switching of nic and wifi stops the problem.
    I did try downloading other files (not made by my client), from the net, they do not trigger the problem.
    What else then the Files can bee the problem? can anyone test my files to see what is wrong?
    BG Allan Tjepp

    I have a very similar problem with my CS6 Ai on our company network. I sometimes use Illustrator for image heavy documents less than 10 pages. These have a lot of placed images.
    It will freeze, say "not responding" and curser switches to blue spinner. Then about 15 sec later it unfreezes and I can work for another 60 sec or so, then repeat freeze, blue spinner, etc. Very annoying. When i unplug the network LAN cable the problem goes away and I sail along. I have tried relocating the Ai file to my desktop (not sure about the images).
    Waiting on any feedback or help, our IS guys are getting stumped. I could switch to InDesign for this work but not my preference.

  • Firefox keeps "not responding" for a few seconds - then connects

    I just upgraded to Firfox 4.0 because of my new computer's Windows 7.
    It started "not responding" for up to 20 - 30 seconds before it reconnects, and it is sometimes unresponsive to my mouse even when it is working. This did not happen before the upgrade and does not happen with Windows Internet Explorer

    check your system preferences to see if you have "ignore accidental trackpad touches" checked (or something like that). If you type on you keyboard then try to use the trackpad you have to touch it a couple of times so the computer does not think it was an accident while typing. Just uncheck the box if it is checked.

  • Firefox does not delete the .part file from my download folder after a successful download

    First off, I'm on a MacBook Pro, running 10.6.4 and FF3.6.12
    I've recently noticed that on occasion Firefox does not seem to delete the .part file associated with a successful download. The .part file (with a name consisting of a string of random characters followed by a .part extension) is visible in my Download folder stack, although not visible in the actual folder view. I cannot drag this file from the stack to the trash.
    The real problem stems from the fact that this seems to create a directory error on my hard drive. Were I to run Disk Utility (which I will have to do... again!), it would return with an error saying something like "incorrect block length", requiring me to boot up from my install disk and repair the drive.
    Is this maybe a bug? Is there something I might be doing wrong? Could an extension like AdBlock be messing up my downloads?

    It seems that FireFox leaves those partial download files if for any reason they get interrupted. It's possible to resume the download through various uninteresting means, but if you're like me, it gets filled up with files that I intentionally did not complete downloading.
    If you're terminal-savvy, you can set up a script that cleans up old .part files. Here's what I've set in my crontab:
    0 * * * * /usr/bin/find ~/Downloads/*.part -atime +1 -exec rm {} \; &> /dev/null
    It will delete any files in my downloads folder that are at least 1 day old.
    To install this in your crontab, launch terminal and type "crontab -e"
    This will bring up a text editor, probably vi. You'll see a bunch of ~'s down the left side. Type "i" to go into "insert" mode. The bottom left will say "-- INSERT --"
    Copy and paste (or type) the line of code I have above.
    Hit enter just to make sure you have a newline at the end.
    Hit "Escape" to exit the insert mode.
    Hit Shift-Z Shift-Z (that's Shift-Z twice) to exit the editor.
    You should see a status message "crontab: installing new crontab"
    If you type "crontab -l" you should see your newly installed crontab.
    At the top of the next hour, any .part files that are more than a day old should be deleted, and this should continue forever.

  • Javascript causes Firefox to not respond for a few minutes.

    I have a website form with a large amount of dynamically generated javascript that uses jQuery to handle events. When clicking on radio buttons in the form Firefox 26 will get part way through then stop responding for around two minutes while showing (Not Responding) in the title. If I go into about:config and disable javascript.options.baselinejit.content the form works fine, if I enable that option FireFox becomes unresponsive part way through the form. This started recently but I don't know exactly which version is started on, Firefox 26 definitely has the issue for me. All extensions and plugins have been disabled and "Use hardware acceleration when available" is not selected. Also the form works correctly in Chrome 31, Internet Explorer 7, 8, 9, and 10.

    Hi keviga, would you be inclined to file a new bug for this? You can reference the Baseline JavaScript compiler as the problem. I guess the tricky part is figuring out what is going on in your scripts that is triggering the issue.
    You can submit bugs here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

  • DELL XPS 12 BSOD when not used for several minutes

    Dear all,
    since one month I'm experiencing a strange behavior from my DELL XPS 12 9Q33, Mid 2013 with Windows 8.1 Pro. When the notebook is left unattended for more than 5 minutes, it freezes with the BSOD with two different causes: KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_EXCEPTION
    and
    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I already activated the Verifier Utility and debugged the results of the memory dump, obtaining following reason:
    DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)
    An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
    interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
    caused by drivers using improper addresses.
    If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: ffffcf80c94c2fb8, memory referenced
    Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
