Firefox freezes when loading

Since nobody is looking at the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772825?s=cache&as=s&page=1 old post], I will repost it here and hope that someone will have solution for me.
I tried many things with newest versions with Firefox UX, Aurora and 6 and yet it freezes all the time when loading any page.

Does the problem occurs when you are using Firefox in Safe Mode ??

  • Firefox freezes when loading some web pages then the computer locks up

    Sometimes, when loading a website, the browser freezes. Then the computer locks up and I have to use the power button to turn it off. There seems to be no pattern to this problem. I'm also not sure whether or not the problem begins within Firefox, but a web page was loading every time it happened. It has only started happening this week.

    I seem to be having a very similar, if not exactly the same issue. I'm using the latest production FF 11.0 release on Win7 64 and as with this not only does FF freeze, but I can't task switch, or anything. The one thing I've noticed is that when the lockup happens, it always appears to be loading some custom font from a CDN, if I breathe deeply and slowly and allow the request to complete everything seems to eventually unfreeze and I can continue, so maybe something to do with implementation of custom font loading?

  • After updating my plugins firefox 5.0.1 still hangs/freezes when loading web pages.

    After making sure my plug-ins were updated, firefox 5.0.1 hangs/freezes when loading web pages.

    I changed the setting, but unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. This situation does seem to occur more, when I load or reload my eBay home page. I noticed that all data and information would go ahead and load, but the random ads bar would not immediately load and when I would left click anywhere on the page, Firefox would temporarily freeze, the page turns white, Firefox not responding will display, and then the banner would load and everything is fine. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Flash Player. Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Reggie

  • Extension Manager CS6 freezes when loading extensions

    Extension Manager CS6 freezes when loading extensions
    When launching Extension Manager CS6 it starts loading extensions but totally freezes when the last 30 percent of the loading extension bar is still unaccomplished. It is not possible to close the window, not even with the task manager.  I have restart the computer to get rid of it.
    My OS is Windows 7, 64 bit. The most recent versions of the entire Adobe CS family are installed, freshly updated, including the Extension Manager CS6.
    To trace the cause of the problem I tried to create a log file in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Extension Manager CS6. I logged in as administrator and wrote in the Command Prompt Window:
    echo > ExManLog.YES
    The log file was created but contains nothing but "ECHO is on".
    A possible cause of the problem might be that I have two installed active version of Ajatix Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu, which is an add-on to Dreamweaver. The first version is the free one, the second is the full paid version. I would like to deactivate the first one since which might make the Extension Manager happier. But the only way to deactivate it that I know of is to use the Extension Manager. Catch 22.

    Dear Carl, thanks for the advice that made me understand how to remove an extension without using the Extension Manager. However, the problem persists, i.e the Extension Manager freezes soon after it is launched, when the last 30 percent of the loading extension bar is still unaccomplished.
    Following your instruction I have tried to remove both my versions of the troublesome DW extension (Ajatix Advanced CSS Drop Down Menu). Which in my case meant that I deleted the following files:
    the files com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.mxi, com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.mxi_air and com.ajatix.AdvancedCSSMenuLight.zxp in C:\Users\<My UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\EM Store\Dreamweaver CS6
    and the files ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxi, ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxi_air and ajxcssmenu2.3.0.mxp in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6\EM Store\Dreamweaver CS6
    In the hope of cleaning out everything from this extension I have also deleted the following files:
    AJXCSSMenu.chm, AJXCSSMenu.dll in C:\Users\UpdatusUser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\JSExtensions
    and AJXCSSMenu.chm, AJXCSSMenu.dll, AJXCSSMenuLight.chm, AJXCSSMenuLight.dll in C:\Users\ipb-master\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\JSExtensions
    Every time I thus get rid of the Ajitex files the Extension Manager seems happy and loads the only extension I currently have left (Adobe exchange). However when I reinstall the Ajitex extension, the Extension Manager behaves in the same bad manner, freezes after approximately 70 percent of the process of loading extensions. Same thing when I remove this extension and try to install another from Ajitex (Email Spam Blocker). It seems to install all right but afterward the Extension Manager freezes when launched.
    Don't know what to do now.

  • Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website

    Firefox freezes when opening an adobe acrobat (PDF) file from any website. This only started happening after the latest update of Firefox was installed. Do you have a fix?

    Hi Susan,
    The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
    When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
    I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
    Good Luck :D

  • Firefox freezes when using "Save link as" or doing anything that needs to browse local file directory?

    System: Windows XP, Firefox 17.0.1.
    Firefox freezes when doing anything that needs to browse local directory such as saving file, uploading, etc....For example, can't save any image using "save link as". When attaching a file in email, whenever the browsing to other location on the hard drive will freeze firfox, which turns to "not responding"....

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
    #Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

  • Firefox freezes when saving, printing, or otherwise opening "sub-windows"

    Firefox freezes when I open a window to save, print, etc. - not always, but far too often. If I dare try to choose another folder in which to save, I'm even more likely to make it freeze.
    When it happens for the first time after opening Firefox, I can often wait several minutes, then it unfreezes, and I can then do one or two more clicks (e.g., scroll, save, etc.) before it freezes again. Otherwise (or the next time, if I didn't restart Firefox in the meantime), the program just gets completely unresponsive, and I have to close it via the Task Manager. So there's unfortunately no error message, crash ID, etc.
    Possibly related: When I'm using Firefox for a while (with many Firefox windows open), I'm often not getting menus displayed anymore, just the outline of the menus. The program still reacts to clicks into the outline, but it's like driving blindfolded... Menus include those from the menu bar, those from right-clicking into a website, or those from Adblock Plus (icon in the bar, at the right bottom of each window).
    I'm currently still using 3.6.13 (with Adblock Plus) on a Windows 7 (x64) machine. The problem has persisted long before I've updated to this or previous Firefox versions... possibly since I've been using it on this computer (= summer 2010), but I'm not sure. I should add that I *am* using Firefox with lots (!) of Firefox windows open simultaneously, and I often let my computer hibernate rather than shut it down every single time I walk away... but I've been doing that for at least 5 years now (using tons of Firefox windows even much longer, still with Windows 95 or 98), and the problem is new. And limited to Firefox. (Indeed I can even open pages, on which Firefox has just crashed, in Internet Explorer or Opera, and then peacefully save, print, etc. there.)
    I'd prefer to keep Firefox as my standard browser, but the problem is getting too annoying! Thanks for your help!!

  • Safari & FireFox  freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive.

    Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive. This just started happening in the past couple of days. I haven't installed any software, or made any updates (that I can remember.) When the browser freezes I can't "force quit" them. I have to manually shut the computer down are restart it. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Safari and Firefox box.... it could be a problem with the hard drive itself, not your browsers.
    Just to make sure, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to Verify and if necessary, Repair any errors Disk Utility reports.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

  • Firefox freezes when I access my add-ons page.

    Firefox freezes when I access my add-ons page. I must use Task Manager to unfreeze it. Some add-ons (AdBlock) still work. Others (NetVideoHunter) don't. I would like to remove all the add-ons and start fresh, see if it makes a difference, but when I access my add-ons page to press the "Remove" button, FireFox freezes--so what am I supposed to do? I like Firefox because it's simple and generally glitch-free--until now.

    hey furdeal - if you'd like a fresh start, you can simply [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]]. this will keep your bookmarks, passwords & history but will remove all extensions and custom preferences...

  • Firefox freezes when ctrl + enter is pressed simultaneously

    Firefox freezes when ctrl + enter is pressed simultaneously.

    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.
    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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
    Please report back soon.

  • Firefox freezes when trying to open new Youtube Videos, what can I do?

    I run Firefox 19.0.2 and the latest Flash plugin. All of a sudden Firefox freezes when I try to open Youtube videos. I can only kill it with ctrl+alt+del.
    Note that I CAN watch Youtube videos that are saved as favorites and I also CAN watch videos I click as related videos. However whenever I use the search bar and click a new video I haven't watched before, Firefox will freeze over and over again.
    I already tried disabling the hardware acceleration, as well as deleting the cache and varying cache size.
    I also tried re-setting the dom.ipc config settings as stated here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/909133
    So far, nothing would do the trick.
    Your help is much appreciated, thanks a lot! :)
