Firefox freezes after short time use and I have to reboot

My internet connection freezes (hangs) and I have to reboot to access it again. It keeps doing this and system restore did not help. I have windows xp (firefox is my default browser but I have also tried IE - same results). Our wireless PC on network works fine.

same problems here, especially in Facebook. Also my mouse will not scroll without hanging.
Windows XP sp3
FF4.0.1(18)

  • Firefox crashes when not in use then I have to reboot my computer

    Firefox crashes when not in use then I have to reboot the computer.
    It will not come back on line and the only way out of this is to reboot the computer.

  • My browser freezes up after 20-30 minutes and I have to reboot. This is now happening every time I get on the computer.

    When I first open firefox it's pretty responsive. In about 10 minutes it starts slowing down. I'll click on something and it takes a long time to respond. In about 20-30 minutes it starts freezing up. If I move my mouse around it will sometimes respond, then it will just stop responding. When and if I X out I can't get firefox back until I reboot. However, if I go to Internet Explorer it works perfect.

    Are you using ZoneAlarm for security?
    If so, try disabling the ZoneAlarm extension in Tools > Addons > Extensions and see if that helps.

  • Firefox freeze after 5 - 10 seconds and makes a ding noise when clicked and only allows me to scroll

    Firfox was working fine until I received and downloaded the newest automatic update. When I open firfox it allows me to move from page to page, click on buttons, veiw options, ect for about 5 to 10 seconds. Then it freezes, only allowing me to scroll with my mouse scroller. If I click anywhere it makes a ding sound, or an error sound. I an unable to close the window in anyway and have to use my task manager to end the task. I have restarted my computer. let it sit over night for about 10 hours, I have ran my anti virus (web root with spywere) twice. I have even uninstalled and down loaded both firefox 3.6 and 4.0 as well.

    But wouldn't that sound like the drive was ejecting something or trying to read a disc? Because this is not a mechanical sound made by any kind of moving parts. I guess that was misleading in my original post, sorry about that. It sounds like some sort of error sound or something like that. It is not a happy sound.
    I keep trying to think of something to compare it to, and the closest I can come at this moment is the strike sound from Family Feud, only just s very short burst.

  • S4 Widgets Freeze after short time.

    I use a couple of auto-updating widgets, including a trasparent clock/weather widget and the FlightStats travel widget.  Both were repeatedly freezing on me.  Not just update freezing, but I couldn't even raise the flightstats screen from the widget at all.  I could get them to start responding by cycling the phone, or by killing TouchWiz and letting the launcher itself restart.
    After poking around on some other forums, it's obvious that the launcher is at fault.  I downloaded Nova Launcher Free, and imported my config from TouchWiz, and I haven't had a widget freeze since.  It's now a week since I changed over.  PReviously, my widgets would go braindead in a matter of hours after starting.
    I am happy that I have (apparently) solved the freezing problem, but I'd much rather run the supported TouchWiz launcher.  Does anyone know if Samsung/Verizon is aware of this issue?  Might I expect addressal of the issue?

        I want you to enjoy all the amazing features and apps your Galaxy S IV has to offer mjcecil! It sounds like you may be experiencing app conflict with your OS and user interface. I recommend testing in safe mode for starters to determine if there is conflict.

  • Display Black/Freezing after short time (Cinema 20")

    I have a Mac Pro (1GB Ram) with a 20" Cinema Display
    Occasionally the display will go black or freeze. This usually happens when running a full screen game, or the iTunes Visualizer, or the Screen Saver, nit always.. once this happens, the keyboard and mouse do not seem to be able to 'wake it up', I also notice that something is still happening because iTunes will still play music and games will still have sound
    This does not happen in Safe Mode, making me suspect something in the config.

    Yup!! Problem was an overheating video card. I broke the box open and took the card out. The input vent was all gunked up. So I cleaned it all out and now it runs great (and a lot quieter)

  • Every time i search nfl on google, firefox freezes then it sometimes unfreezes and other times crashes.

    Every time i search nfl on google, firefox freezes then it sometimes unfreezes and other times crashes.

    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.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''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 [[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.

  • Firefox freezes after 2 seconds, sometimes 3 after opening.

    Well i was going to report it privatly via feedback, but i have to be using firefox to do that. If i could use firefox i wouldnt be here would i num nuts. But anyway, firefox freezes after i open it. Maybe 2 or 3 seconds after opeing the program. So if im quick on the tabs i can get awindow open and start a page loading before it freezes but thats it. Its unusable. I have restarted et al, but to no noticable benefit.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I changed my AppleID a long time ago to an email that I no longer use and I have updates for apps that I can't update because my old email is filled in to where i sign in and it wont let me change it to my new one???

    I changed my AppleID a long time ago to an email that I no longer use and I have updates for apps that I can't update because my old email is filled in to where i sign in and it wont let me change it to my new one???

    The problem with those two apps is that they are supposed to be in your Apple ID and you didn't set up the Mac properly/completely when you got it.
    You might try deleteing them and using OS X Recovery to install them again.

    After that, before you open any iLife apps go to your Mac App Store account, to the Purchased pane and Accept them into your account.

  • How to stop a while loop after certain time using Elapsed time vi

    how to stop a while loop after certain time using Elapsed time vi.

    Hi Frankie,
    Just place the Elapsed Time VI inside the WHILE loop, and wire the 'Time Has Elapsed' output to the conditional terminal in the lower right corner (which should be set to 'stop if true' by default).
    In the future, please post your LabVIEW questions to the LabVIEW Forum.  You have a much better chance of getting your questions answered sooner, and those answers can then help others who are searching the LabVIEW forums.  Thanks!

  • Why do I have to reboot my computor before firefox loads after it is used then closed then reopened but get nothing until I reboot ?

    firefox 5.1 or any version has doe this im using XP which was never an issue until these newer versions so
    why do I have to reboot my computor before firefox loads after it is used then closed then reopened but get nothing until I reboot ?

    I've been having similar issues although mine seem to happen when I import my own movies into Apple TV. After adding new items to my iTunes library and then switching my entertainment configuration to Apple TV, I get nothing but total blackness and my TV says it has no HDMI signal. Once I unplug and repower the Apple TV, everything works fine.
