Firefox hung up..I had facebook open in one tab and searched around the web in another. I tried to load USAtoday site and it hung up. I used task manager to end firefox. I started firefox again, window comes up, it ask if i want to restore or start new session..i have clicked both and it goes nowhere..have to end..downloaded firefox again..same result..

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].
If Safe Mode does, work, a possible culprit might be '''AFI News Headquarters Toolbar'''. Try disabling that without Safe Mode and see if the problem reoccurs.

  • Bloody Hell, I install Firefox 4 beta 11 and nothing happens home page loads, and thats it, firefox does not respond

    I run 3.6.13 I tried to install beta 4. 11, it downloads and installs, it opens the home page, but that's it, the throb er works but Firefox does not respond, i mean like in nothing, it is dead, you click anywhere on the toolbar, and it is like a dead dog.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • When I click to enlarge an image in eBay, Firefox does not respond.

    I open up Firefox and go to the eBay website. I click on an item to view the listing. I then click on the image, or the 'Enlarge' icon to view a larger version of the image. The problem is that Firefox does not respond. It comes up with "javascript;" in the little dialogue box that pops up in the bottom left corner.
    When I use Internet Explorer, I don't have the problem. Could anyone suggest what is wrong?

    Make sure that you do not block JavaScript

  • Firefox does not respond when trying to upload photos or files to Facebook, Google+, or similar sites.

    When trying to upload photos to various websites, Firefox brings up the pop up to view and select locations on your computer, but it never fully loads, it just kinda freezes, never allowing you to select files. I eventually get a 'This program is not responding' message and have to force close.

    Second times a charm!!!
    Maybe the link I had 1st time had a bug or something... I had installed it, restarted computer and all, exactly same process... and it had done nothing.
    But download page wasn't the same. Real weird.
    Good thing is, now it works!
    So to anyone who has had same problem, tried the "patch download" solution and didn't have any success (like me previously - which is why I posted)... TRY AGAIN! The link above works!
    Thanks

  • Apparently the latest version of Firefox does not respond to the Mac's trackpad ability to use fingers to enlarge and reduce the size of whatever it is I'm looking at. Why?

    I'm using a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.7) and appreciate the ability to enlarge and reduce web pages by using a two-finger "spread" on the trackpad. Since installing 4.0.1, it seems I can no longer do this.
    The previous version of Firefox allowed this.
    Why? It's lots more convenient that using "command plus the + key".
    Does this mean I go back to Safari?
    Thanks!

  • Since I updated Firefox to its newest version, regardless of the application I am in, it will work for a period of time, and then it will stop responding. I constantly have to use "force quit" because Firefox does not respond.

    It especially happens when I am in the Walden University website.

    Hello & welcome, let's see if we can help out here!
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • Firefox does not respond to my selecting 'email clip' at the MSNBC website; not even a '?'

    When I select an option to 'email this page/clip/url...' absolutely nothing happens when it should open my Mac Mail app so that I can fill in info, etc.

    Right-click on the Firefox image in that little Firefox window and see if '''Maximize''' is available in that context menu. If so, click on Maximize.
    To be clear, Yahoo!/Firefox is a modified version of the official Firefox program and may have faults that aren't in the official version.

  • Firefox does not respond for several minutes when coming logging on after locking my vista laptop

    This has happened for several days in a row but it happened sporadically before the update to 6.02. The laptop is a Compaq Presario C700 2GB RAM, plenty of space on the hard drive, Vista 32-bit SP2. I do not have a problem using IE or Chrome. I do have about 10 tabs open (this varies to less to more depending on what I'm working on) however, it has happened with less and more.

  • I have started using Roboform Lite 2.0.0, after Roboform it takes to much time to open Firefox and when i open a new tab, until the tab is fully loaded, Firefox is not responding. Please help.

    After installing Roboform 2.0.0;
    Starting Firefox started to take too much time.
    When i open a new tab, until the tab is fully loaded and Roboform realizes which website it is, Firefox does not respond.
    When i tell Roboform to fill the username and password fields in a tab, until Roboform submits Firefox does not respond.
    I mean, as if Roboform is not working background and Firefox cannot work multithread because of it. When i navigate from one tab to another, Roboform is also checking the tab and meanwhile Firefox is waiting for Roboform to finish its work.
    Please help me about this problem.

    Check your country or region setting
    Step 1: Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and tap Settings.

    Step 2: Tap or click Change PC settings.
    Step 3: Tap or click Time and language, then tap Region and language.
    Step 4: Under Country or region, look to see that your location is set correctly, and change it if it's not.
    The app is no longer available in the Store
