Firefox freeze if left unattended for approximately 1 min & require manual shutdown.

Recently, Firefox will freeze if left unattended.

If I read all that correctly,..
1. Booting into Safe Mode appears to bypass the problem
2. Booting clean does not avoid the problem.
3. Booting normally into another account does not avoid the problem.
Does that sound like the situation so far? You might want to boot into Safe Mode again to verify it.
No need to maintain that clean-boot state.
Time to check the hard drive.
Check your hard disk for errors

In addition check your Energy Saver Preferences and make sure that your Display Sleep and Computer Sleep timers are properly set to get the expected results.
For example: I want my Display to sleep after 5 min and my Computer to Never Sleep so that I can choose when to sleep it from the Apple dropdown menu.

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.

1.5.1 crashes if left unattended for long periods.

After leaving SQLDeveloper running unattended for a while, it disappears from the desktop but still appears as a process in task manager.
The console stays open and shows a continual series of "Exception in Native directory watcher" messages. These fill up the console buffer so I don't know what error if any causes the crash. I've increased the size of the buffer to try to catch it.

Computer "freezes" when left on for several hours.

I have had my MacBook Pro since late February. It seems to "freeze" when I leave it on for prolonged periods of time (several hours) without using it. By "freeze" I mean when the display wakes up, the trackpad will allow me to move around the screen, but not click on anything. Occasionally, I will get the colored spinning wheel when I click on one thing, but it never allows me to access any program or even to shut down the computer normally with the trackpad. I am forced to use the power button for a forced shutdown. It then restarts normally.
The computer has not been asleep, and has been attached to the power outlet the entire time. This is also not a kernel panic. (I have witnessed those with my previous computer.)
Prior to this, I owned a 12in Powerbook for nearly 5 years. It never grew unresponsive like this. Is this a common problem with the MacBook Pros, or is there something wrong with my unit?
Please let me know if you would like more information about my computer.

mavenue, you should really post this as a separate topic as the probability is that your problem is not the same.
(A) after such a forced restart have you done anything to check system integrity?
(B) are you saying that Safari is set to open at startup/login?
(C) which version of Safari are you using?
(D) is Safari set to open on a blank page or access a website?
(E) is the computer attached to a network at the time or not?
(F) have you examined the logs in Console (if not, have a look and post them in discussions.
Have a look at those points and start another thread with some of the information suggested above (including the log).

It may just be the particular screensaver you are using - try another. Is it one of the defaults or one you downloaded or created?
Also, you might creating a fresh user to test.
Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your problem screensaver works in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.4 Combo Update . This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
Until it's sorted, you can use Screen Sleep in Energy Saver.

Issue - CIF queue for activation of IM requiring manual activation.

Hi,
For inbound setting, the CIF queue for activation of IM is getting stuck with ready status. Consequently the background job getting failed with time limit exceed status.
The same queue when activated manually, gets cleared. Thus requirng manual intevetion.
Please suggest solution to get rid of this manual intervention.
Thanks and regards,
Sushant

Hi Sushant,
If you use inbound queues check QIN scheduler on SCM side - transaction SMQR.
From help:
Call transaction SMQR and choose Registration.
Enter the queue name CF* and make the required settings.
EXEMODE: Execution mode (D - Dialog work process; B - Batch work process)
MAXTIME: Maximum runtime that the QIN scheduler uses for activating a destination;
default value: 60 seconds
USERDEST: RFC destination with LOGON data. Specification of a logical destination
with its own language on the local
system. This means that the burden of integration can be distributed to a server group.
NRETRY: Number of repetitions for failed calls, default value: 30
RDELAY: Wait time between individual calls, default value: 300

After navigating (sometimes downloading pictures, sometimes not) for approximately 10 minutes, I can no longer see contents of drop down menues, then Firefox freezes up and I have to use Ctrl/Alt/Delete to end my internet experience.

After navigating (sometimes downloading pictures, sometimes not) for approximately 10 minutes, I can no longer see contents of drop down menus, then Firefox freezes up and I have to use Ctrl/Alt/Delete to end my internet experience.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After upgrading to 3.6

Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

Firefox freezes about five seconds after I open it, and whenever I use Ctrl+alt+delete to close it I get told that it is waiting for a response from me.

I am having a problem with Firefox. Whenever I open it, it runs fine for about five seconds and then freezes. A small white rectangle appears in the upper left corner of the browser window. The screen still scrolls fine, but whenever I try clicking on anything (including the menus in the toolbar), it just gives me an unresponsive 'ding' sound. When I try closing the programme with Ctrl+alt+delete, I get a message saying 'The system cannot end this programme as it is waiting for a response from you'. I originally had this problem with an earlier version of Firefox and tried installing Firefox 4 to see if this helped. It worked for two days and began doing it again. I have already tried un- and re-installing Firefox and restarting my computer, and Firefox will not run properly for long enough to let me disable any add-ons or plug-ins. What can I do to fix this?
I've added a couple of screencaps of the problem. (or tried to)

Have also since found out that to start FF4 in safe mode you just hold shift whilst double-clicking the icon. We only find these things out after the event, murphy's law!

When I use Firefox and Hotmail at startup, Firefox freezes for about 1 minute, and then I can continue. First I though it was my computer but 2 other girls in my class have the same problem with Hotmail and Firefox. What can I do to change this?

When I start Firefox, about 15 seconds after I start it, my Firefox freezes for about 1 minute. I found out that it is my Hotmail that makes Firefox freeze.
First I thought it was my computer, but I have 2 other girls in my class that use Hotmail and Firefox and their computer also freezes for 1 full minute.
This is very annoying, what can I do to change this?

p.s. I am from the Netherlands, maybe that has something to do with it?

Firefox freezes for a period of time when I try to fill out online info

When I begin to fill out forms on line, the first few letters show up but then Firefox freezes for 15-60 seconds before the next letter is entered and does this with all of the letters I entered after thel initial freeze which is just what happened. I have therefore gone to typing the information in Notepad and then paste in the appropriate area which is what I am doing now. However, outside of Firefox the rest of Windows 7 is responding. I thought it might have been a problem with my keyboard but after contact with Logitech and there recommendatons which did not work, I believe it is a problem with either Windows 7 and/or Firefox. I have not used IE yet so at this point I do not know if the problem exists there.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Firefox freezes for a while when the Downloads window pops up

Whenever I start a file download (regardless of its size), Firefox freezes for a few seconds, sometimes longer. I deleted the downloads.sqlite file and it helped for a few days but it started happening again. I deleted downloads.sqlite again but this time it wouldn't help at all. I even installed DownThemAll add-on as some people suggested but it happens with it too.
I've been using Firefox for 7-8 years now and never had any issues that could not be resolved but this plus some other freezes or crashes from time to time is starting to be annoying. I have all major browsers installed because of my work but kept FF as default one but I'm starting to consider a switch after all these years.
Can anyone suggest a soluton? And I don't consider disabling the Downloads pop-up window a solution.
Win 7 64bit

Thanks for your input but I already said that I deleted downloads.sqlite.

My Classic IPod had been working perfectly with Windows Vista OS and on a dock. I left it unattended for 10 days, recharged it and tried to play music on the dock. All that shows on the screen is the Apple Logo and I am unable to restart or update the IPo

After I type in my login details and press "enter" on a website, Firefox freezes for around half minute.

After I type in my login details and press "enter" on a website, Firefox freezes for around half minute. This has gone on for around 5 months. I've tried disabling add-ons to my Firefox but they don't seem to affect this problem. My version is 17.0.1.
How do I combat this problem? Many thanks in advance.

Provide the website name.
