Firefox hangs every time I click on something from Google - eg, link on a search result.

It takes me to Google fine, allows me to type in a search term, brings up the answers, but then hangs after ANY link I hit on that page. Only started a while ago. I'm using Windows 7, but not Google desktop. All other web sites are fine.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
Also, if you have some kind of security software installed which scans links like AVG Safe Search, AVG Link Scanner, McAfee Secure Search, McAfee Site Advisor, or some other kind of anti-phishing tool, try disabling it.

Every time I click on something on a page that I have zoomed in on the new page's zoom setting is reset.

I like to zoom in in certain web site pages to make them easier to see/read but now that I've downloaded the newest version of Firefox every time I click on something on a page that I have zoomed in on the new page's zoom setting is reset. How can I fix this, it is so annoying!

Zoom is domain specific.
See this:

If you find that you are having to zoom on many websites, try the Default FullZoom Level extension and set a default zoom level:

Since updating every time I click on something another window intrudes and I can no longer log in to secure (bank etc) sites. What's happened and how do I sort it ou? It's become unusable

Since updating Firefox every time I click on something another site (v. dodgy looking) opens and I can no longer log in to secure (bank etc.) sites, what has happened and how do I cure it? It's reached the point where I no longer use Firefox.

Im wondering why my post hasn't been answered yet. I did file a report with the BBB and I had a rude representative from Verizon call me named Steve. He said I can file all of the reports I want and I will just keep getting calls from him. I can understand why my phone couldn't be replaced because of the small crack. I guess I have to eat that one (but it sucks because the lollipop update is what caused the problems) but what about all of the data overage I had to pay for for trying to fix this phone because of a lollipop update. I dont think it is fair to have to pay that as well. In addition, because I have an east coast phone number but live on the west coast, I cannot have tech support after 8pm. Verizon has cut this off. Im very dissatisfied and I have been a customer of Verizon for 13 years. Im hoping for a response this time.

Pop ups on mac? I got a mac a few months ago and a few weeks ago I began to get mackeeper ads popping up in a different screen. Now it s getting worse and happening almost every time I click on something, and there s even more variety of what website

Pop ups on mac?
I got a mac a few months ago and a few weeks ago I began to get mackeeper ads popping up in a different screen. Now it s getting worse and happening almost every time I click on something, and there s even more variety of what websites pop up. Now I have pop ups on the actual website I m on and they pop up every time I click something. It s really obnoxious and I hate it. How can I get rid of this....? It s really distracting

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.

Hangs every time I click on a link

It appears that every time I clicked a link in Firefox, it would just hang. It didn't matter which website I was going to, the second I clicked on something, it would hang. I even tried to ask a question about it here using Firefox and it hung when I clicked the "submit" button. This is my 57934th attempt to ask this question

Since I updated to latest firefox version, every time I click a link or in a box a google play window opens up

Since I updated to the latest release of Firefox a few days ago every time I click a link or in a dialog box (like this one) or try to pin something in Pinterest a google play window opens up. I have no new pluggi-ns and no add-ons. I have also scanned my cpu for viruses and none was found. What is causing this issue, which is driving me crazy, and how can it be fixed?

To eliminate if it is a corrupted add on or plugin, please check if it happens in a new profile with just the pintrist add on. This will tell you if its a combination. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

Hangs every time i click

For weeks now every time i type or click, Ffox hangs for a second or 2 and will briefly say (Not Responding) on top. this is beginning to frustrate me beyond words b/c i can't type an email w/o it hanging over a 100 times!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== few months ago

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]].

I updated Firefox, now every time I click on the Dock image my Mac reloads the disc image on my desktop and tells me this is the first time I've tried to open the program. What's going on? This is very annoying.

I contacted Sony, who spent 90 minutes trying to help me fix this, to be told it is a problem with the program, not the computer. I have deleted every trace of the program then reloaded it, three times, with the same results every time. This all started when I added a bunch of 'extras' from Mozilla. These 'add-ons' remain in the program when it is reloaded, so they may be the problem.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive. 
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.
