To fix computer freezes or facebook freezes problem, follow these guidelines to fix it:
* First, small size of RAM makes computer slow.
* Secondly, corrupt windows registry causes freezing in computer.

When using facebook, Firefox locks up and nothing works except a hot shutdown on Windows Vista

About twice a week, usually, but not always, when using facebook, my screen locks up, no buttons or clicks on links work and I get a message in the Firefox title bar that says: "Firefox not responding". I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba Satellite laptop and the only other window open is my email account on GoDaddy, but this happens even when that is not open. My hard drive LED begins glowing steady "on" when this occurs when usually it is flashing or not glowing at all. It frequently happens when changing facebook pages or trying to close facebook. Sometimes I get a "wait" hourglass, sometimes not. I have tried leaving the computer alone to let it sort out on it's own, and I have tried machine gun tapping on the "close" button. Either way the only resolution is a hot shutdown (hold down the computer power button until the computer shuts down) and wait a few minutes before reboot. On reboot, the same facebook page will open automatically and sometimes will lock up again when I try to close that window. On more rare occasions this lockup happens on sites other than facebook. My computer guru has looked at my setup and tells me my computer is fine and virus free. Since I'm a computer doof I don't know what he is talking about. Any ideas? Is there a difference between a "crash" and a "lockup" or do they mean the same thing?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
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.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Firefox locks up when in Facebook, it has just started doing this

Firefox locks up when in Facebook, it has only just started doing this, I get (Firefox not responding) at top of page. I have tried it in IE and have no problem. I log in using Lastpass.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

When using facebook my words are really small so i need to know how i can make them back larger

Somehow I changed the size of my characters only when using facebook, so I would like to know how to change them back to regular size because they are really small. It's only like this when using facebook on firefox because I tried on internet explorer and it's fine.

ctrl-+ is the easiest way (as in, hold down ctrl and press the + key, multiple times if needed). It might be [mac button]-+ on macs, I'm not sure.

Our iMac (intel, 11.2) freezes up when using Time Machine for Back Ups. We have 16GB of RAM and the BU drive is 1 TB on firewire.

Hi, thank you. I think what you are describing is the page that you are on at that particular website is "refreshing". At least that is what is sounds like to me. The same as if you used the key F5 or the icon at the top of your toolbar.
Does this happen on all of the games on Facebook or just some? I'm not sure exactly why this happens and can only guess unless I did some research on the subject. The particular game is very busy or perhaps it is using a lot of resources. The next time it happens, you might want to bring the Task Manager up and see what that application is using under processes.
Also I would not have more than one window open, since some of the games use a lot of resources.
I wish I could help you more, but I don't use Facebook or any of the games. I would certainly check the Task Manager. At least that may give you a clue as to what is going on.
Perhaps someone that has more information will see your thread and help you further.
Thanks,

Firefox 7.0.1 constantly closing when using facebook...what is the fix????

Ever since I downloaded firefox 7.0.1 when I'm using facebook it will close down...message says it's encountered a problem and is closing...is there a fix? this is VERY aggravating...have to reopen internet and sometimes it goes back to where it shut down and other times a message comes up ans says it's embarrassed and cant continue so I have to start a new session...can I go back to the old system which worked fine???

No solution, and others may give you a better answer, but it appears to be a Windows OS error, have you tried the Microsoft forums e.g. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/problem-event-name-bex-error-message/cf5baf73-0877-4070-abfb-a2c3a17a9e10 and tried asking a question over there.
Post back with how you get on.

Firefox freezes sometimes when I try to open a web site in a new window.

For the past few weeks I am having an intermittent problem with firefox freezing. It happens when I try to open a site in a new window. Most of the time I have to go to task manager to close it and re-start. And almost always when I re-start it freezes for a second time and then I have to open it a third time. Usually if I try to restore a session it will happen over and over again so I have to start a new session. I have windows 7 and the latest version of firefox.
