Firefox has trouble loading and quitting

click on firefox icon--either doesn't download or starts to and freezes. Have to close and re-open. Doesn't always shut down--doesn't respond, stays open. Have to force quit. Do not have a problem like this with other browsers.

I am also having this problem. FF freezes and I have to Force Quit, restart very soon freezes again. I await a solution please.
It appears that on selecting a new tab the site is endlessly loading and at that point FF freezes.

Firefox has trouble loading certain videos on certain websites.

My Firefox is doing some weird stuff on websites with videos things in the site. For example about half the youtube videos I try stop at 1-3 seconds in, say the video is fully loaded, and doesn't play the rest, and won't load no matter how many times I refresh and clear my cache. Other sites seem to work fine, but on some if I try to skip to certain parts in a video the image freezes and/or switches to a weird blocky green, but the sound keeps playing. I've tried uninstalling my flash, re-installing it, tried earlier versions of it, but nothing works, so I'm thinking it's Firefox that's messed up. I'd test with my internet explorer to see if it works, but it's so outdated that sites aren't even compatible with it, and my computer is too old to update it for some reason.

Firefox has trouble initiating, and when it finally does, every time I attempt to interact with the application it stops responding.

Firefox won’t initialize: I can open any program on my computer except for Firefox so it isn't that my computer is slow. It doesn't open at all no matter how long I wait. I've left the room and let the computer run before and it still wasn’t running when I came back. After a few clicks it finally it comes up, and I have to wait because I’ve clicked multiple times so of course it's going to open multiple times. When I'm online after successfully closing all but one Firefox window so that I don't crash my poor laptop, every time I attempt to interact with the program via clicking a link, opening a new tab, or typing something into the URL bar, the program freezes and goes into the not responding stage. Rarely, an unresponsive script message will pop up.

My iMac has trouble loading fonts (and speakers) on startup.

Some mornings my brand new work iMac (running 10.7.2) has trouble loading fonts on startup. Sometimes the speakers don't appear to be connected/active either. Both problems go away for the day once I've restarted the computer once or twice. Any ideas on why this is?

Ok, ready?
1. How many fonts do you have?
2. How did you install them?
3. Which version of InDesign?
4. Your speakers: If external, is there a Lion update for them?
5. Have you checked your preferences for "Sound?

Firefox has become slow and bloated.

Since using the add-ons my once elegantly swift Firefox has become nonreactive and the height of the toolbars, bookmarks and the rest takes up too much space over the screen.

It's neither, it's using the "add a keyword for this search" button that appears in the context menu of most in-page search fields. This creates a bookmark with the place in the GET request where the query should be replaced with %s.
I've imported both of those files into my new profile, and the bookmarks do indeed get imported, but the keywords do not, so I can't use them to search.

Hi and Welcome To Apple Discussions
I believe the suggestion was to remove any item found in the Plugins folder found at HD>Library>Applications Support>SIMBL. Is that what you did, or did you remove everything in Applications Support? If the latter, return those items to the AS folder, otherwise you'll have problems with other applications. If you checked for SIMBL>Plug-in folder, did you find that folder (you may not have it installed in your system), and if you did, what is located there?
Another place to look via the Finder is HD>Library>InputManagers folder, or Your User Account>Library>InputManagers folder. If you see anything in either of those folders, please post the name of the bundle here.
Another remedy for Safari hangs is found in this post.

Safari not loading and quits unexpectedly on iPad Mini

Safari just randomly stopped working on my iPad mini. It behaves as if it is frozen from the moment it launches.
Everytime I open Safari (directly or through links from Mail, FB etc.), it won't load and non of the buttons are working, it looks like it's frozen then will just quit unexpectedly. I tried going to Settings > Safari and it won't even load anything about Safari. Then Settings will just freeze and I won't be able to access any other options on it. I can still go in my home page by simply pressing the Home button. I have to close Settings (double clicking Home button then closing the app from there) before I can access it again. As long as I don't select Safari in settings, I can still navigate and change anything while in the settings.
Everything elses works in my iPad Mini. Safari and Settings being frozen doesn't seem to affect any other apps.
I tried everything that I know and was suggested here:
Settings > Safari > Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data --- not even loading and will just freeze as soon as I select Safari in settings.
Settings > iCloud > Turn off Safari --- stuck on "Turning Off Safari Data..." screen - had to force quit settings to access settings again
Restarting iPad by completely shutting it down.
Closed all apps, then restarting iPad by holding Power and Home button.
Reset iPad settings by going to General > Reset > Reset All Settings
DFU mode and Reinstall iOS 7
None of these worked and Safari still behaves the same way. It was working before and has been for a while when I updated to iOS 7 originally. I can't think of anything that I installed that would've cause Safari to not respond except for the most recent update of iOS 7. But it was working then until recently.
I can install Chrome and still have a browser but this is really frustrating especially because any links that I click on is directed to Safari.
Please, any other suggestions and help will be greatly appreciated.
I think my last option here is to drop by in the closest Apple Store and have them troubleshoot it there. Luckily I still have warranty on it so I can still have it exchange if it can't be fixed.
Looking forward on hearing from you guys..thanks!

Same issue, on an iPhone 5 on iOS 7.0.4 (11B554a) that's been working fine for months and hasn't had a recent iOS update. Safari freezes on open, Settings / Safari won't load, but everything else is fine. Safari had half a dozen pages open when it stopped working. Resetting multiple times didn't work, restoring the phone via iTunes from iCloud backup didn't work, clearing Safari date from Settings / Usage didn't work, and I didnt have an iTunes backup to restore from. Phone is unable to turn off Safari data under iCloud, whether choosing o leave it on the phone or delete it, and is unable to delete all iCloud data as I try to unhook it from iCloud altogether; it just keeps spinning on Turning off Safari Data... or on Deleting... . Frustrating as ****.

When I close Firefox I choose Save and Quit to save my tabs for next opening. It's not saving them the last few times, wondering why?

Upon closing Firefox it asks me if I'd like to save and quit, quit, or cancel. I always choose save and quit. I've noticed the last few times that my tabs were not saved the next time I opened Firefox, I'm wondering why. I've lost some webpages I was saving for later now, because of this.

The computer crashes, due to power failure, with Firefox running. After rebooting, Firefox has lost record of tabs. [History/Recently Closed Windows] is grayed out. So the list of tabs is lost. It should be possible for the software to keep a periodic backup of current tabs, such as, e.g., MS Word makes backups of the current file every 10 minutes, so that the tabs can be restored if the software does not make a normal exit due to a computer crash.

Firefox has trouble with all flash applications

My favorite forum website recently dropped support for IE. This specific reason, is the ONLY reason I stopped using IE. Firefox has a much closer resemblance to IE than chrome, and this is the ONLY reason I chose it over chrome.
Everything works fine, except every and all flash applications.
Youtube, animated ads, games... everything causes huge cpu load spikes and lags like crazy (I'm sure it would cause a crash on a basic computer). I have a very high end rig, the problem is not my hardware, or internet speed (100mbs). It is entirely fire fox.
All flash apps work FINE on IE/chrome, I tested them. Please offer support, thank you.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Firefox has becomes unresponsive and slow after I tried to install addons (not installed)?

I recently format my computer and reinstall the windows 7, since this was the only solution that I know to fix the problem with Firefox (I previously had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it . This version was super fast. But becomes unresponsive and slow, when I tried to install the add-ons. I visited the official website of firefox and search for the addons, when I tried to install some addons, Firefox crashed. From then on, it has becomes quite slow and can't restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, It takes more than 5 minutes and becomes unresponsive frequently (after I typed each letter).
I want to know whether this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable"

Hey there,
We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
#Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
#Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)
[[Image:aboutcrashesFx29|width=520]]
 
After you've done this, you could try '''Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''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]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Hope this helps!

I'm getting popup notices that Firefox has a problem, and Windows is looking for a solution; then it closes Firefox and says Windows will let me know if it finds a solution. No crash report window comes up.

Firefox is my default browser on my new laptop, with OS Windows 7. I've now had several instances where a Windows popup comes up saying Firefox has developed a problem and may have to close. It also indicates Windows "is looking for a solution to the problem." No solution is found, however, and Firefox is forced to close, with the happy notice that Windows will let me know if it finds a solution to the problem. If there is any tech data on the crash, I'm not sure where to find it, and no Firefox crash report window comes up. I thought it was an anomaly the first time, but this has now occurred at least 4 times in the past several days.

See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes%20when%20you%20open%20it

I recently installed 7.0.1 on two Windows 7 Enterprise x64 systems. Now everytime I close Firefox I receive an error "Firefox has stopped working" and I have to click close. Works fine on a Windows XP SP3 x86 machine.

"Firefox has stopped working"
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program."
I tried installing two ways; clean and upgrading from 6.0.2. I receive the same error message upon exit.

I followed the troubleshooting guide for extensions and themes, and still have the issue.
I modify the package to redistribute with SCCM, and I like to modify Firefox manually. This process has worked fine until 7.0 or 7.0.1. I extract the files from firefox setup 7.0.1.exe, then I extract the files from omni.jar, so I can modify settings in firefox.js to remove updates, setting firefox as the default browser, etc.. I run setup.exe and include a setup.ini as part of my installation command line to remove icons.
I tried just extracting .exe, and the files from omin.jar but not modifying anything and left out the .ini file and it still fails to close properly.
Like I said the above process works fine on XP.
If I install 7.0.1 via the download .exe on Win7 Enterprise x64 it works fine. I'm still looking into it.

Mail Problems: Loading and Quitting

This might turn out to be a long discription, but bear with me...
I had problems with Mail today--I had just received an iTunes receipt and Mail crashed; it appeared as if the program got stuck loading the new message. When I reopened Mail, none of my messages were loading and it appeared as if I had nothing in my Inbox or any of my other folders. I found on an Apple Discussion post that I should try shutting off the Internet and holding the Shift key down while opening Mail. This worked, so I continued on with the instructions in the threat, which told me to put my Envelope Index and a copy of the Mail folder on the desktop. This prompted me to reopen Mail; Mail then reloaded all my messages and sort of "started over" if you will.
At first, this process appeared to have fixed the problem, but I tried quitting Mail, and now Mail won't quit. The window disappears, but the arrow still points toward the icon in the dock, indicating that the program is still open. When I click on the Icon, the top Menu bar changes to Mail, and Mail is highlighted blue. I am forced to "Force Quit" and reopen. Sometimes, after I do this, I have the same problem where the messages won't load and it appears as if I have no mail in my Inbox or other folders.
I've repaired permissions and cleaned my Mac using Onyx. What now? I can't lose all my messages in my Mail program--I have tons saved!
Thanks!

Hello Jessica.
This might turn out to be a long discription, but
bear with me...
I love detailed descriptions...
It could be that the crash caused some filesystem corruption, so you should start by verifying/repairing your disk, as described in this article (note that it's not repairing permissions what I'm talking about here):
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
If the problem persists after having fixed all filesystem issues, it could be that the Mail preferences file itself became corrupted and Mail chokes on it when trying to save changes, so you may want to try this (skip step 2 if you already have a backup copy of the Mail folder on the Desktop):
1. Make sure Mail is not running.
2. Make a backup copy of the HOME/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Preferences/. Locate the file com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
You'll have to set up your accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in HOME/Library/Mail/ when done.
You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. The first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable "Display remote images in HTML messages" if it's enabled.

My iPod now has trouble syncing and is freezing now that I updated to 6.0.1 ios software. Please fix this!

I recently upgraded my ipod Touch (4th Gen) to the new ios 6.0.1 software. Now it has trouble syncing, freezing up while syncing and keeping music on it without deleting it. I tried restoring it, but can't even downgrade it. PLEASE APPLE!!! PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
