Hello Anonymous.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Firefox crashes after a few minutes when using say Ebay and Yahoo sites. Also internet exploer also does the same. I do not know much about computers please help if possible. Many thanks. PS I have the latest Firefox version

    The problem has just started. I did get a funny windows coming up about 'best video down loader' but I do have that addon already.

    I have too have lost all function to my smart mailboxes upon installing Yosemite. I also lost all my flagged email. Any solutions yet? I will be bummed if I have to recreate my email because I was foolish enough to install this upgrade too soon. Will I ever learn to wait? Ugh.

  • Freezing after a few minutes of screen sharing?

    Hello, when setting up a screen sharing session on mountain lion with a lion laptop (the ml is being controlled by the lion laptop), the 10.8 laptop freezes after a few minutes of the session. The mouse cursor still works locally, however no clicking or keyboard input is accepted. The remote controller also loses the connection, and a hard reboot is the only thing to bring the computer back.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Yes, that is exactly what I am experiencing.
    I followed instructions and found that computer was set to log out after 120 minutes.  I don't know if that is the default setting or not, but I know I never set it that way myself, didn't even know the option was there.
    I have always had the computer set to start screensaver after 15 minutes, display sleep after 30 minutes, and computer sleep after 1 hour.  The computer never logged me out with those settings until a couple of days ago when this problem started.  I had changed computer sleep to never so I could see if remote desktop on my ipad would be able to connect to the imac, and that is when the problem started.
    I am trying setting screensaver to 10 minutes, display sleep to 15 minutes, and computer sleep to never, and see if that solves the problem.  I also unchecked the box to log out after 120 minutes.
    Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

  • Incoming Video freezes after a few minutes Using S...

    I just installed the Sony BDP-S780 Blu-ray and Sony CMU-BR100 Webcam, skype is working, however the incoming video freezes after a few minutes.  The caller on the other side clicks off the video and then back on, it works again but only for a few minutes.  Is there a fix for this or am I doing something wrong.

    8.2 is out...perhaps that will address your problem.

  • Firefox hangs after a few minutes and freezes whole system -- tried all the help suggestions already

    I just updated to the latest version of Firefox and now it hangs after a few minutes of use (maybe when using Facebook)...I tried all of the existing help suggestions and none of them worked. Once it hangs, I can no longer use my machine as it freezes everything. I have to shut down...and even that takes forever to happen. :(

    Hello cswatson,
    Try clearing your Java cache, and History.

    If you still have problems, and are running a 64 bit processor you may want to install Waterfox instead of Firefox. On the case that you are running a 32 bit operating system do not install Waterfox. However, if you are running a 64 bit operating system you may want to install Waterfox. If you do install you should update your plugins on the Waterfox Download page below.

    The symptoms you describe with and ALS model are indicative of a power supply failure, and not an issue with electrolytic capacitors on the logic board.
    I was speaking about the components in the power supply, although the Logic Board components are also in visually good condition.
    My concern is; replacing the PS may place greater pressure on the components of the Logic Board, which are obviously of the same age. Precipitating a similar failure in the LB at an early stage...
    £100 for a power supply is one thing, then the probability of £200+ for a LB replacement is quite another. £300+ is not a viable repair for a 5 year old iMac in my opinion.
    A dealer or service provider can replace the power supply, which should completely address your issue EXCEPT to the extent that repeated, abnormal shutdowns have damaged your drive directory. Using Disk Utility as a first pass may address any such concerns. More extensive directory damage will require a utility like Disk Warrior.
    Quite capable of replacing PS my self, not too worried about the warranty aspect now!
    Agreed, repeated shut downs may have messed the directory. The contents have been duplicated throughout the life of the machine, so backup is not an issue, a reformat and zero of the drive would be a natural progression from replacing the PS, if we go that route.
    The part required for replacement in an iMac 17 inch (ALS) model is the 661-3627. In the 20 inch (ALS) model, it is a 661-3625.
    Thank you for your observations and help, also for the confirmation of the part #. There are some new on UK eBay right now @ £80 - £100.

  • IBook 500 GHz freezes after a few minutes

    I have had a 500Mhz iBook G3 dual USB a couple of years and suddenly the screen went black. After searching online I found some repairs by either heating up the chip and causing the solder to re-melt or put an object on top of the chip to keep it pressed into place. I tried the latter and it started up fine. Now it will freeze completely after a few minutes. Once I put a cold pack over the area where the chip is and it stayed working fine for about an hour then it did freeze up again. Could it possibly be the material I used is causing excessive heat build up on the chip or logic board??? I may have over done the amount of material which I believe is a piece of old floor tile. I bought this iBook cheap and use it on my travels at hotels so I don't want to spend much money fixing it. Just wondering if I used another material on top of this chip if that would stop the freezing up.
    Also, when I first "tested" this problem by squeezing the iBook in the area of the chip the display would come on, but if I squeezed a bit hard it sounded like the drive made a loud noise. Could the pressure affect the drive performance?

    I'm wondering how stable the object you placed in there was/is? Maybe it has broken down and is no longer working properly.
    Suggested by John Sawyer in the Apple Discussions iBook G3 (Dual USB) Displays Forum:
    [Y]ou can often fix this yourself by removing the iBook's bottom housing, and placing a shim of any sort, about 1mm to 1.5mm thick, onto the raised square on the bottom shield. I use a Scotch mounting square--you can get them in hardware stores and many grocery stores. When you reinstall the bottom case, it will press against this shim, which will press against the graphics chip, and may allow the chip to come into better contact with the logic board.

    Now, as you may have experienced, all shims are not created equal, and it can matter what type of material you use.

    Yes, but if you had too much pressure there, the hard drive probably would make grinding noises, letting you know that something was amiss with it. If you squeezed too hard initially and heard those noises, you know what I mean.

  • Firefox installation made my power saver function misfire - the system goes down after a few minutes of inactivity but then comes right back on again after a few seconds.

    My power management scheme: turn off monitor after 2 min of inactivity; turn off hard discs after 5 min of inactivity. doesn't work reliably anymore. Usually, with Firefox installed, the system powers down after the preset times but then comes right back on again after a few seconds. If I restart the machine, my selected power management scheme works properly for a few cycles but then reverts to the mode of turning back on after a few seconds after having shut down.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Firefox quits after a few minutes if I am not using an online program, like email--I want it to stay open. Help

    When I open firefox and connect to the internet, everything is fine. But if I step away for a few minutes, my connection is lost, and I have to log into whatever site I was on, again, usually email, buts sometimes others. I seem to have to be continuously using the site for it to stay on.

    Have you have tested the same site in Safari to see whether it stays online while you are away? This would be helpful in determining whether to focus internal Firefox issues or to consider Mac OS issues as well.
    If you connect to the site using a proxy server, private VPN service, or TOR, it's possible that your IP address is changing. Some sites like Yahoo cross check your IP address to prevent others from hijacking your session, and require you to enter your password again if it has changed. I think problems have also been noted on AOL network sites such as Huffington Post.
    To check your connection setting, you can use this dialog:
    (Mac) Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
    The default setting is "Use system proxy settings" but you might also try "No proxy" to see whether that makes a difference.

  • Hi, I accidentally spilled water on my Mac Air on the very right side of the keyboard. After a few minutes, the screen turned white and a gray folder with a question mark came up and kept flashing. THEN IT DIED HELP.

    After the screen turned white and the folder popped up, it just kept flashing. After a few minutes the screen just turned white completely and I could hear the noise of the drive. It just sat there still with the noise for a good few hours until the battery died and then my mac just shut down completely. I tried to see if the computer could charge, and it does charge. I just can not turn the computer on no matter what. It is dead. It might be the logic board or the drive...I'm hoping it won't cost me a new computer because I just got this 5 months ago....

    Do not attempt to charge as that will only make the damage worse.  You need to take the MacBook Air to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians check and see what repair work is necessary.  It only takes a very small amount of liquid to cause short circuits and damage.

  • Why does Firefox hang after a few minutes connected using ATT on a USB antennae, but IE continues to stay connected??

    I've used a USB interface to connect to the internet for several years without a problem. Last month our Alltel account was sold to ATT. They sent us a new USB device, and it works for about 5 minutes, but then Firefox will just hang, and not reload the page, or any page, until we disconnect and then reconnect. On a whim I tried connecting using IE when I was locked up on Firefox, and the connection worked fine. Until then I was blaming ATT, but now I think it is a Firefox issue.

    hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).

  • A105-S4074 Freezes After a Few Minutes, Sometimes with a Continuous Beep

    Win XPSP3, 1.5 GB RAM
    After 10 min or so computer freezes; requires a hard shutdown (press power button for 4 sec); will re-start and run again for 10 min, or so. Checked temps with Speedfan - highest I've seen is 60+/-, which doesn't seem excessive to me. RAM has passed Memtest86+ for 12 hours.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    considering that 60 that you are seeing is in celsius which is 140 fahrenheit thats pretty close to cooking your processor. clean out the air vents and fan with compressed air. hold the fan still with a toothpick to keep it from spinning as the compressed air will spin the fan faster than it is rated to fo and cause damage.

  • Photoshop freezes after a few minutes

    Hi,
    I'm working on a Intel coRe 2 CPU at 2.33 GHz with 3.25 GB of RAM. I opena file in photoshop, then open another and it freezes up. I've already set my scratch disks to the C drive, can anyone tell me why it's doing this?
    Thanks,
    Stan

    I don't have a dedicated drive or partition. I usually always set it to C and it works fine. Does anyone know if there are issues with more than 2 GB of RAM and PS?
