Firefox freeze whenever tired to change language input

Hi. Whenever I tried to change language input to enter other languages Firefox freeze (program not responding).
It happens as soon as I hit alt+shift or when I click language bar to select other language.
It also happens with several languages (that I tested, might be all), and I tried various input software/mode including windows default, all freeze. Reset Firefox under help does not work either.
This issue occur with Firefox and Chrome, but not IE... Might not be Firefox problem as it happen w Chrome, but and ideas please? Thanks.

Edit:
* regedit might be changed, but do not believe touched internet setting.
* I can enter foreign language as long as I set that language to default, and do not change to other language in the language bar. Currently I am using foreign language input software as default, and switch to English input '''within '''that software.

Hi. karaoke I am not sure if its the same issue. The crash at language switch on my computer was due to the IME for Eastern Language Banks (Language option -> Detail under text services and input languages -> Properties -> reset/untick auto learn).
If you are not using Eastern Language IME... I am sure others here have more experience and can better help you. =)

  • Firefox freeze whenever flash error happens

    I have the newest firefox and the flash debug version. Whenever there is  an flash error happen, the error message window popup, and then my  firefox freeze immediately. It seems like the problem only happen on  debug version of flash. I searched online, people said change the "dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs" to -1 will fix the problem, but I tried, it doesn't really fix it. Anyone know anything I could try to fix it?
    Thanks.

  • I downloaded Lion for my Mac and now Firefox freezes whenever I try to open the NYTimes crossword site.

    I've been using Across Lite for years to do the NYTimes crossword puzzles. I just downloaded Lion to upgrade my Mac OS. I've downloaded the new version of Across Lite to fit with Lion, no problem. But when I go to the NYTimes crossword page, Firefox freezes. Sometimes it won't even open the page, sometimes it opens the page but then freezes. I haven't had this problem with any other site.

  • My Firefox freezes whenever I try to search with Google. I am still able to close the browser, though. How can I fix this?

    Whenever I attempt to utilize Google to search anything on the internet, Firefox will freeze. However, I am still able to close the browser window and end the firefox.exe process in order to open a new browser window, but it is annoying an inconvenient to have to do this frequently. Help!

    Might be because of a malware.

  • Firefox freezes upon startup, cannot change any settings

    Since yesterday my Firefox will not open anymore.
    It started with a problem concerning all my browsers; I could open them, click inside them, but whenever I'd start typing anything, they would freeze. I'd get a 'Not Responding' message and I'd have to close the programmes. However, a restart fixed this for Chrome and IE. Firefox got worse after that; whenever I open it now it won't even load, I immediately get a 'Not Responding' message and I'm forced to close the programme. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
    All support articles here suggest clearing cache and all that, but I can't do anything because it just immediately freezes.

    There are two things you can try. But first, holding down the shift key
    starts Firefox in Safe Mode. This disables all your add-ons and some
    settings. If the browser works find in safe mode, then the problem could
    be an add-on. But first do this. Go to '''''[https://www.mozilla.org Mozilla.org]'''''
    to download the latest version of Firefox. DO NOT UPDATE. Get the full
    installer. After you download the installer, remove Firefox using the
    windows uninstaller. Then run the FF installer you just got. You will
    not lose much of anything. Now try FF normally. If you still have problems,
    then you will need to reset the browser. This will remove ALL ADD-ONS,
    and reset ALL SETTINGS to their default settings. If the problem is
    gone, then it was one of the add-ons. Re-install your add-ons only a
    few at a time. Close FF, and restart after each group. Good Luck.
    ===================================
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    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.

  • Firefox freezes whenever I try to stream Netflix movies

    Right after the latest firefox update I was unable to stream netflix movies, I have updated all my players but netflix is the only one that does not work now

    You need to right (or Control) click on your playlist file and select "Get Info."
    Then in the Get Info Dialog go to the Open with section and select the app
    (like VLC or iTunes) that you want to open when you double click on the
    playlist.  You can click on the Change All button if you want all files of the
    same type to launch with the same app.

  • System preferences freezes whenever try to change screen saver settings

    When I try to change the screen saver settings in the system preferences, it locks up and I have to force quit. Is this a graphics issue? Anyone else having this issue? It looks like my computer is having problems processing the screen saver previews. I have the new Macbook Pro Unibody (June 2009).
    Any help would be awesome, thanks!

    Edit/add to the above: I just realised that the iLife Support update had (supposedly) already been installed -- it's listed in the updates in the system preferences, but not with today's date (which fixed the issue), but with the date when I got the MBP. Strange. A bug in the update? Not installed completely? Didn't get any error messages though. Anyway, all's well now

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

    Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • In Firefox 4, how do I change the order of plugins on the Add-ons Plugins manager page (I turn Shockwave Flash on only to see videos - having it off prevents screen freezing - and so I want it stay at the top of the list)?

    In Firefox 4, how do I change the order of plugins on the Add-ons Plugins manager page? I turn Shockwave Flash on only when I want to watch a video and then turn it off to prevent screen freezing, and so I want it to PUT it and KEEP it at the top of the list.

    Hit Ctrl+0 (That's a zero, by the way). I'm not sure if it will work, but hey, that's the first thing I would try.

  • How to change the input language ?

    Hello,
    I am writing an Add-on that needs to change the input language when the user
    clicks on the Item Code field ("5") in the "Item Master Data" form.
    I can perform the change when I am out side of the SAP application (for example if I create a Windows Form), however I cannot control the input language of the SAP itself through code.
    I even tried using Application.Sendkeys, however I was unable to send a combination of ALT+SHIFT, or at least it did not have any affect
    Here is the code on how to change the input language on a Windows Form:
    For Each Lng As system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage In system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.InstalledInputLanguages
       sValue = Lng.Culture.DisplayName.ToUpper()
       If sValue.StartsWith("ENGLISH") Then
                        system.Windows.Forms.InputLanguage.CurrentInputLanguage = Lng
                        Exit For
        End If
    Next
    Any ideas ?

    I am not sure I understand the problem. Anyway in B1 you change the language by
    changing it from the Administration module. This raises a Application event that
    is sent to all the add-ons. The event is aet_LanguageChanged and you should
    then change the language handled by your add-on when you receive it.

  • How to STOP OS X from automatically changing between language input methods

    I want to know if there is a way in OS X Leopard to stop the system from automatically changing the language input method. I use English and Japanese on my computer, but this would apply to anyone using more than one input method.
    For example, when I click on a Japanese-language file, the system automatically changes input to Kotoeri (the Japanese-language input method). When I then click on an English-language file it usually, but not always, changes back to English input. But I almost never want to TYPE in Japanese. I just need to be able to read Japanese and to cut and paste from Japanese language files. It is very annoying when I start typing in an English-language file and find the input method has been changed to kotoeri without me realizing it—everything comes out in meaningless Japanese. When I want to type in Japanese, I want to manually change to the Japanese input system. That is, I want English to always be the default input method even if I am manipulating Japanese-language files.
    So, I’m wondering if there’s a way to set the computer so that it never AUTOMATICALLY switches between the input methods. I want to be able to switch only manually. In the old days of System 7, 8, and 9, there was a third-party control panel you could get that would do this (I think it was called Stay There!) and I don't remember this being a problem in Tiger or earlier versions of OS X. Is anyone aware of any way to do this in Leopard?
    Thank you!
    Colin

    Well, I do have it set that way, and I can look up there to see where I am, but in the work I do time is critical and I move back and forth between the two languages frequently. It is really a pain and a waste of time to have to look and make a change that should be unnecessary. The problem is not so much that I don't know where I am. It's that I don't want to ever have to think I MIGHT be in anything but English input unless I specifically want to be. In other words, I need to be able to forget about this problem even being a possibility.
