Firefox Freeze while playing online games

I have a gaming PC running Win8 pro 64bit
8GB of RAM
3.20 Ghz AMD Phenom 2 x6 1055T processor
ATI Radeeon HD 5670 graphic card.
Problem 1.
When I watch a video on a website or play an online game both using Flash, my mouse will drag. This only happens when I watch a video or play a game in Firefox 21.0. If I use different web browsers then I do not have this problem.
I reinstalled Flash but that didn't help me any.
Problem 2.
Under "Settings for Clearing History" all are checked but I cannot check "Download History".
I want Firefox to automatically clean the Download History when I exit Firefox but it will not do this.
It used to work fine until I updated my Firefox browser.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* 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 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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the 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 other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Flash Player having problems while playing online games on OS X Mavericks

i use mbp mid 2010 with os x mavericks 10.9.2 and while playing online games, it usually happens some freezes and delays. when i play same game with same browser on windows 7(bootcamp) there is no freeze and delay. i have made lots of search about this and made some optimizations on flash player settings but the problem continues. i use both chrome and firefox on both mavericks and win7 (bootcamp) but having the same problems on mavericks every time. the game is very slow with freeze and delays on mavericks. will adobe make a real effective upgrade about flash player for macs.

Hmmm... Win 7 will run faster than Mavericks with 8Gb. Even my Vm of 7 runs faster once I get it past all the startup processes.
It may or may not be a connectivity problen since Windows uses a different protocol, even though it's on the same hardware. Usually though, what affects OS X will affect BootCamp too.
What browser?

Satellite L500-13v freeze and make sound while playing online game

I have just purchased a toshiba Satellite L500-13v laptop to use for general and studying purposes and am having problems.
Firstly music, when listening to music i keep having problems, the laptop will maka a horrible noise that i can only compare to the sound made when you put a cd into your car stereo and it doesn't like it.
When making this sound the laptop also seems to pause for a sec or so then continue.
This has happened when playing from cds, the hardrive and streaming straight form the internet.
Also got progressivelly worse, never at the same moment on a song or game always randomly.
Went back to the store and they said it sounds faulty and replaced the machine . . . . . .
The new one has started doing it.
On a game played online (with sound) it seemed to freeze and make this sound and everything stopped and also when streaming again.
This is a 4gb machine and at these times i would never be using more than 1.5 gb of ram.
This is meant to be everything i need computer wise for the next four and i am getting more and more concerned there is a problem.
I was told at the store this i a very new model, could this be one of those problems you only find once a model goes out??
Plese Help???????

> On a game played online (with sound) it seemed to freeze and make this sound and everything stopped and also when streaming again.
Does this mean that the notebook freezes ONLY running this online game?
Hmm did you try to update the graphic card driver?
In my experience many games (online) would affect the notebooks functionality if the graphic card driver is not fully compatible or too old

Toshiba Satellite C655 SP4168M freezes while playing a game

So i've been having problems with mi laptop very recently with a game i'm playing (League of legends), the game normally works perfectly, but at random times it just completely freezes (making an awkward sttutering sound) and i have to forcefully shutdown and restart the PC. It doesnt happen ALL the time, but when it happens it's really annoying, and i can either happen once every week, or several times daily. I already repaired the video driver but that didnt help, i was thinking about updating the BIOS; but cant find the correct version for my laptop, and i cant even be sure that's actually the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try using a program like "Piriform Speccy" (free version), and monitor the CPU temps as you are using the system. If it gets up into the orange and red while watching videos, you may need to apply fresh thermal paste to the CPU.
My old L355 is starting to freeze while watching youtube videos the other day, and just confirmed that the CPU is overheating. Will be tearing it apart hopefully tonight to be cleaned up and have a fresh application of arctic silver on the CPU.

Firefox freezes while playing flash videos.

When i play flash videos Firefox freezes. frames is lagging but the sound is ok.

Can't anyone just make a FU$%&# browser that works? I do not understand why I have to come on a forum and try this...or maybe that...or wait maybe this... just to be able to do what a browser is supposed to do..BROWSE THE INTERNET!
I switched over to Firefox from Chrome because Shockwave kept crashing non-stop while trying to listen to music on Soundcloud and now I have another browser that does the same thing except worse as far as I'm concerned because I have to restart the whole program.
I guess I just don't understand how it can be this difficult to accomplish tasks that seem so trivial in nature...the internet has been around for quite a while now and technology is evolving ever faster by the day but for some reason it seems that the reliability of web browsers is decreasing just as fast in the opposite direction.
Please excuse my frustration......I just wanna be able to listen to a whole DJ mix just one time. Is that really too much to ask? I can't even believe that I might have to resort back to IE...oh man...I thought things were moving forward but apparently I have been looking in the rear view mirror this whole time

Internet Connecting whiles playing online games.

Every time I try and play this game called World of Warcraft my internet turns limeted, there is nothing wrong with the game but with the broadband. I have unlimeted brodband and it keeps going limeted. Can someone help me?

Hi Steffdb9,
Welcome and thanks for posting. How are you connecting? Is it wired or wireless? Are you having general browsing speed issues or is it just with the game? Can you give us as much detail as possible, including a speedtest and we'll take a look for you.
Cheers
David

Firefox gets Stuck while Playing Facebook Games and Working in Another Tab

Firefox gets stuck while playing facebook games (restaurant city) and side by side working in another tab or window of firefox. Switching between tabs takes time and on facebook scrolling doesn't remain smooth it gets stuck again and again while scrolling the page.
Also, in earlier versions it was a great feature that when once a game is loaded then when i open it second time it was loaded immediately without any complete loading but now every time you play the same game it will load completely which happens generally when we reinstall firefox so that our saved cookies gets destroyed.
ON THE OTHER HAND OPERA 10.6 LOADS FACEBOOK GAMES SMOOTHLY NO HANGS NO STUCKS NO FREEZES EVEN DOING OTHER WORK AND THE GAME ALSO LOADS IMMEDIATELY THE NEXT TIME WHEN IT IS OPENED.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The 3.6 versions came up

same things happen to me also the cache system is so slow it even download the flash player game after 3 or 4 days completely and hang is always the error when ever i use the fire fox also there is one more thing some time computer is not opening any site what ever u type mozilla is disconnected from IP what ever he issue is but if u close the firefox and start again it is working for a while after some time it may happen again time is not counted over this matter so i m sure this is the trouble from fire fox coz other browsers are working in the same time while mozila sucks

I'm connected to the Internet but I can't sign in on Skype or play online games?!

My parents changed the channel for the BT home hub and I am online the wifi config is all green but I can't play online game or Skype as it says I'm offline?! I have gone on advanced settings and updated my mac and restarted it but still no working but it works fine on my phone! HELP!

Am a newbie but somethings may work here, Go to dock preferences and to network and to your airport connection window.
You have a green light signal in network status window? If it is yellow or red it is unavailable. If your connection is full of traffic, this may effect connection.
In window you may need to type in optional search domains. Your provider should tell you this no one else~ They would also walk you through your connection failures. If it is yellow and you connect to your provider's router and don't have your own router, this number may not appear in your connection information. You need to tell them their router is down so they can fix it. They may not find out if pings come back. Pings may also be cached (I am not sure but it might) so it may take them a while to find out if you don't tell them. I would call your provider. Maybe empty your preferences in your browser. You may have cookies or garbage to empty there. Use another browser.

Nokia x6 - how to play online games.

Hello, i have got a question.
I was trying to play Online games such as MafiaWars, or other online multi player browser game. And with no results, on standard browser even page doesn't load, it does but i could seen just white screen.
Does any one have solve that problem?
I am writing to You just to get discussion about that problem. If anyone have something usefull to say please answer that question.
Regards, David. Thanks a lot.

I know that farmville could be played if you use Skyfire as your browser, but doing so would need hell of RAM management from you. Use of memcheck, KillMe, an ideal set of installed apps that will not eat RAM while running or installed, etc.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

Safari not allowing me to play online games

Hey all so when i try to play online games from like adult swim or any website at all none of the controls work I can't click on anything when im in the window for the game and also safari freezes up my computer. i have downloaded all the latest software updates from windows and safari and yet nothing seems to be working. Help me out please..

Safari isn't preventing you from playing any game; the game developer is doing that by only coding for Windows IE. So until they change that, you should use IE to play games, or try using the Develop menu in Safari to choose IE 6 or 7 as the User Agent to see if they will run that way.

How to see battery status while playing a game

Some games seem to close off menu bars and everything else.
My daughter plays the sims 3 and sometimes uses battery power, but she always panics that the mac will just shut down due to lack of battery power.
How does she see what the power is at while playing the game?
Its normally just in the menu bar, but like i say this game overrides all that info until the game has been quit.
Thanks.

Anybody?

Open ports on new airport extreme to play online games

hey, i have the new airport extreme and i wanna play online games.
how do i open ports with the utily that came on disk.
i have no clue how to configure it.
i tried in bridge mode, but than the airport starts flashing amber and other users in house wanna surf on the net aswel.
kind regards

Airport Utility -> Manual setup (Cmd+L)
Internet -> NAT
Enable a default host
Then in Internet -> DHCP
permanently assign the default host IP to the machine you're going to play the games on.
This is what other routers call the "DMZ" address. Be sure to run a firewall on that machine!

How do I get rid of the ad while playing a game?

How do I get rid of the ad while playing a game on my iPhone?

duh .... I got to thinking about it while I was feeding my 'girls', (dog and 2 cats) and thought "I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that it's free!" I guess they have to make their money somehow. Thanks for you quick reply -- I'll try to think things thru a little better before marshalling the troops!
Thanks again,
