Firefox hangs when opening excel sheet in microsoft sharepoint

When opening a excel sheet in Microsoft sharepoint Firefox hangs / freezes. (not responding)
Only solution is to select end task in task manager.
This is with version 3.6.8 ( there is no problem with 3.6.4)
== URL of affected sites ==

The problem here is, you have setted the content type as excel sheet and you are writing some String content into the output stream. when excel tries to read the String content it will surely throw some error. Lot of excel APIs are available in the market to generate excel sheets.
you can find one in the below URL.

  • Firefox hangs when opening any context menu - save as, download window, options window, etc

    this is the third time i've had this problem with firefox...
    firefox hangs when trying to download images, files, etc. the right click context menu opens (with bookmark, save page, save image, etc options) but after selecting an option, save image or whatever, the actual save as dialogue box doesn't open and firefox locks up.
    many pages say to open the download pane and clear the history... i can't do that as trying to open the download pane locks it up, too. as does trying to open any other dialogues.
    the first time this happened the only solution i could find was a total wipe and re-install (simple uninstall/re-install didn't work... it had to be weeded out of the registry manually).
    the second time i just happened to be rebuilding my system, so i just did a fresh install on a fresh OS.
    this time i can't seem to resolve the problem with uninstall and re-install...
    help?

    found out what was doing it!
    after trying firefox safe mode and windows safe mode and any number of other things i'd kinda given up for a bit there, but i woke from a dream in the middle of the night thinking "based on the behaviour involved it *must* be something in the shell that's causing this." (sorry, i dream in geek.)
    so i grabbed a shell viewer editor - ShelleExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) (had to use an icky, lesser browser to be able to download it) and gave it a run.
    i listed all the extensions by the date they were added as a clsid and tried to think back to when the problem began... about a month or so after a fresh system reinstall. and through a little trial and error disabling i found the culprit.
    it was an icon overlay handler put in by something called WagerLogic. after looking into the company name i'm going to have to assume this was related to one of the annoying "come lose real money at our virtual casino" pop-ups that infest the net nefariously panning for an easy mark like dickensian orphans.
    i disabled it et voila! firefox is back to full function again.

  • Outlook Express or Firefox hangs when opening a link from OE

    When opening a link in OE6 emails, Firefox 6 takes eons to finally come up if it does not hang OE in the end. It makes no difference if Firefox is already open or if it needs to launch. Any idea what is going on. This is a new problem in the last few weeks.

    This sounds like the same problem we're discussing here.

  • Firefox hangs when opening Tools - Options, even in Safe Mode

    I've just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.13. Prior to upgrading I removed all add ons. I went to Tools -> Options to check the settings and Firefox hung. I had to end it with Ctrl-Alt-Del. This happened several times. Then I started Firefox in Safe Mode and attempted to view Tools -> Options again. Firefox hung. It does not try to submit any crash reports (apart from the automatic Microsoft report that occurs when you end a program manually).
    I can browse websites ok, open PDFs, view Flash, etc. I just can't view my options!

    Thanks for the note about profile locations.
    I deleted mimeType.rdf in my existing profile, still have the same issue - can't view Tools -> Options for the Applications tab, or download a file. Same goes for a new profile - the same issues arise.
    Firefox never does crash, I can leave it in this hung state for hours (I left it in a 'not responding' state last night and it was still hung this morning).
    I was going to add a screen shot to this post but Firefox hung when I clicked on the 'Browse' button. Perhaps this is an issue when FF tries to interact with my directory structure? Does that get us any leads on what's wrong?
    FYI, I currently have my antivirus disabled & not running in the task bar just in case that was interfering somehow.

  • Why does firefox hang when opening and takes several minutes to come up?

    Why does Firefox hang for several minutes before coming up?

    I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back. Running the same dmesg command as snoxu results in a similar error message. I am forced to shutdown by holding the power button. Upon rebooting, I get an error message that all extensions have been turned off (using Gnome Shell). Then I have to logout and login.
    Shutting down and then restarting works fine.

  • Firefox hangs when opening PDF links

    I have tried the suggestions, but none of them worked.
    If I click on a link to access a PDF file, Firefox hangs.
    I seem to be able to download other files OK.

    Had the same problem. I went into the Plugins and when I disabled the DocuCom PDF plus plugin the problem stopped. See if you have any plugins or extensions that deal with PDF files and try disabling them and see if the problem resolves.

  • Firefox hangs when opening in Vista but this is a new problem

    I am running Firefox 3.6 and Vista. My laptop is 18 months old and I have been using Firefox since day one. In the past week, Firefox has started to hang on opening. I takes as long as a minute to clear, and I don't have this problem with IE8 or AOL. Any help would be appreciated.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == In the past week. No new downloads were made.

    Firefox hangings are usually caused by conflicting extensions or addons. Go to '''Tools--Addons--Extensions''' and disable them one by one to figure out which one is causing it.

    hello wf1717, there has been a test build created with a speculative fix in it - would you be willing to help and test if the problem is gone with this build? (unfortunately developers are not able to reproduce the issue themselves, so we are dependent on feedback by affected users):
    # first as a precaution, please create a backup of your profile: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    # then download and install this try build of firefox: <s>http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[email protected]/try-win32/firefox-35.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe</s><br>'''updated link:'''ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2014-09-12-03-02-02-mozilla-central/firefox-35.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe

  • Firefox "hangs" when opened and will not load first page

    I am running Firefox on Mac OS X and when I open it it hangs and does not load the first page. The whole application does not respond so I can't open it in safe mode or anything. I have to keep force quitting it.

    So no help from any one about this?

  • Microsoft Word Hangs When Opening Document From SharePoint 2010 Document Library

    I am running into an issue where Word hangs when opening certain files from a document library.  When the issue occurs, Word opens and hangs at the Downloading <Doc URL> stage.  I have tried disabling the SharePoint plugins in IE and that
    makes no difference.  I can download a local copy of the file and open in just fine.  The file in questions exists in a separate document library where it can be opened just fine (The file was copied to the library where the issue is occurring by
    a Workflow).  The issue also has only occurred on .docx files and not .doc, however, not all docx files are having the issue.
    Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be causing this?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that when you opened a certain files from a document library, it hanged at the downloading stage.
    I tried to reproduce the issue, after coping by a workflow, the .docx files opened well in my environment.
    Did the issue occur in other documents libraries? You can copy the files to a new documents library by workflow, then check whether it works.
    For more details we also can check the SharePoint ULS logs.
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS
    Have you check your IE settings (Tools->options->connections->LAN settings->uncheck Automatically detect settings).
    Please also use fidder tools to detect the process. You can download it by the following link.

    Two different forum users, exactly the same question? Hardly possible. So I guess this is just a double post.

  • Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

    Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

    I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
    I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.
