Firefox freezes very often when I browse pages, then it starts working normally

Firefox freezes temporarily when I'm filling forms or posting in forums, this has greatly decreased the quality of my browsing experience.

Yes, you're right, FF hung yesterday & I had to kill it.
Don't blame flash, though, Chrome works fine with it.
It's a FF problem.

Very often when I click bookmarks, it won't work. I have to close firefox and reopen it and then usually bookmarks will open. What's wrong?

Basically, just as I said in the above question, frequently, bookmarks won't open when I click on it. If I close firefox and restart it, usually then I can access bookmarks. Is there anything that will fix this?

'''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Itunes7 freezes very often ... even no chance to quit it

Hello everybody,
I have a pretty large itunes library (150 GB) on a external (usb) harddrive. After upgrading to itunes7 the app freezes very often. With freezing I mean: The app doesn't react any more, I have a spinning ball as a cursor.
In the dock I see "application doesn't respond" (in german ...). "Quit at once" in the dock doesn't help. Even more STRANGE: When I use "quit at once" from the apple menu, the process disappears in the list, but itunes is still displayed as running in the dock (black triangle below).
Please help!
Thank you!

Hmm - I think that it's time for an appointment with an Apple tech! Do you have an Apple Store or an AASP nearby? You've most certainly a hardware problem - the GPU on the 13" model is an integrated GPU so if you've a GPU problem, the entire logic board will need to be replaced, which can be quite expensive. Let's hope it's a RAM issue which can be fixed relatively cheap.
But go ahead and call the Apple Store and make an appointment to have your machine tested.
Good luck,

When I browse pages in safari, the computer thinks and I have to force reload the page. Is this my Mac or my network?

When I browse pages in Safari, the computer spins and thinks. I have to force re-load to get past it. Is this my Mac or my network?

That's a scam. Reset the browser, and if needed, manually delete its configuration and preference files.
If you'd like to double-check, click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Firefox very slow when first loading pages from new domains.

I've noticed that when starting the browser or opening up a new site it takes a considerably longer amount of time to load all the JS and assets compared to Chrome. Typically an extra 10 to 20 seconds, which is seriously annoying and nontrivial. After I've loaded the first page from the site Firefox is usually pretty fast on loading new pages from the same domain.
Firefox also sometimes fails to render CSS, resulting in a white page in Times New Roman and misplaced images.
I've tried setting up a new installation of Firefox and it hasn't solved the problem. Also tried Firefox portable with no addons and I got the problem straight out of the gate. It seems to be a problem with the code as Chrome and my internet connection work just fine. I've tried using Google as my primary DNS (8.8.8.8) which hasn't changed much.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Why does Firefox freeze my computer when I click on an email address or link to a page that asks for contact information?

when i click on an email link, my computer freezes and firefox will open new tabs until i force quit the application. i downloaded the latest version of firefox for a mac, but it did not help. how do i correct this problem?

When I click on a mailto: link, Firefox freezes. This is new for me as of 3.6.14 (not sure if it existed in prior versions because I hadn't clicked a mailto: in a while).

The charsetalias.properties file is gone in Firefox 4? Most web sites in Hong Kong use the Big5-HKSCS charset but declare the charset as Big5. Without charsetalias.properties, the encoding needs to be manually changed very often when viewing them.

I have been defining Big5 as an alias of Big5-HKSCS in charsetalias.properties. This makes Firefox renders pages declared as "Big5" to be rendered in Big5-HKSCS instead. Big5-HKSCS is a standard published by the Hong Kong government because the Big5 charset does not contain many common Chinese characters used in Hong Kong. However, Big5-HKSCS is just an extension of Big5, so most (if not all) Chinese web sites in Hong Kong using Big5-HKSCS declare their pages to be in Big5 in the <meta> tag.
I am now trying out Firefox 4 RC and found that the charsetalias.properties file is no longer there. So in order to read pages containing characters that are in Big5-HKSCS but not in Big5, I need to switch the encoding manually. This is extremely inconvenient. Can you consider bringing charsetalias.properties back?
[http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.i18n/browse_thread/thread/415caa98a6246a00 Someone noticed this issue as well.]

Here's the script I was working on.
It determines the encoding of the site by checking a couple of different ways the meta tag can supply encodings. One way is to have a charset attribute on a meta tag, and the other way is to have a meta tag with http-equiv="content-type" and have charset= be part of the content attribute.
(note: I think [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/document.characterSet document.characterSet()] might be a far more reliable way to detect encoding since it doesn't depend on the specific way the meta tag was written. But I haven't tested it.)
Debugging messages showed that it could detect the specified encodings fine on the few test pages I was trying it on. The problem is in the way I change the encoding.
It currently uses .setAttribute to attempt to modify the meta tags once it finds the encodings. Unfortunately, this doesn't change the selected encoding in Firefox. It doesn't affect the page source, either.
I have to replace those setAttribute calls with something that will actually affect the selected encoding in Firefox.... but I'm not sure what would accomplish that.
http://pastebin.com/Yt7fygXe
Just a little warning, it's case- and whitespace-sensitive because I didn't get around to using regular expressions yet. So if a page says charset="BIG5", you'll probably need to make it uppercase in the script as well. Sorry, I'm lazy!
Nonetheless, I ''hope'' this is a start...

When Firefox freezes, how can I shut it down, and re-start it without it automatically going to the site which caused the problem in the first place ?

I have Firefox set so that when I start up, I have it set so that it automatically goes to my home page. However when it freezes, which it does on a daily basis, and I have to shut it down and re-start, it automatically goes to the site which caused the problem in the first place.
If I was a hacker, I would probably find it quite fun to design a virus to reintroduce bugs after they had been exterminated - except that Firefox seem to have got there first.

Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
When Firefox resumes after a crash, instead of resuming automatically, it will display a list of your previous windows and tabs and you can deselect problem pages.
(This assumes it wasn't a private browsing session.)

Firefox is very slow when using RDP

Firefox is fast when using Windows directly. But when using RDP it is very slow. For example, empty new tab takes about 6 seconds to open. The RDP connection is fast and other programs response immediately (e.g. browsing of the same pages in IE is fast).
What is the problem with Firefox?

Could it be graphics hardware acceleration??
You probably need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.). On the remote system:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Then restart Firefox. Does that make any difference?

Why does Firefox get hung up, when opening new pages? I've tried disabling plugins and extensions to no avail.

Initially, when I open Firefox everything opens very quickly. However, after several minutes it gets hung up when opening new pages. I have close the browser and reopen it to start over. But each time it does the same thing. Works well at first then poops out. The trouble started yesterday. Before then, I never had any problems.
I've tried disabling all the plugins and extensions, but it doesn't make any difference.
