Firefox is constantly hanging/freezing when I open a second tab since the new update.

Firefox keeps hanging/stalling to the point of no usability. "FlashPlayerPlugin_11_7_700_224" and "plugin-container" keep opening multiple times. (I have gotten up to 30 or so of each). I have not had a problem with Firefox for years until yesterday.
Safe mode did not stop it. I tried to update adobe but it gave me a "Host" window that said "Unable to load application configuration".
Also I cannot end the either of the two processes above from the Task Manager. I have to restart.

Thank you for the help! However, I do not think it worked
I made a TXT file named
mms.cfg
and entered
ProtectedMode=0
in it. I put that file here
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
Then I opened Firefox. I opened a yahoo mail account. I t quickly hanged and, in about 60 seconds, i had three each of
FlashPlayerPlugin_11_7_700_224
and
plugin-container (plugin-container.exe *32 to be precise).
Any further help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Kail

  • When I first open Firefox it is fine but if I open a second tab to search another site I get a white screen and have to continually click 'back', click the site link, white screen, back, click the link, white screen and so on.

    This can also be a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    You will have to redo App Tabs and Tab Groups after deleting sessionstore.js.

    When I open a second tab in Firefox, it does not go to my home page. Instead it goes to a page that displays what looks like a collection of pages (or links) that I have visited in the recent or distant past. I would much rather have it go to my home page which is much more useful to me. I have tried to change this in 'Options' but with no luck. Please fix this.

  • HT6114 mail doesn't open since the new update

    Since the new update(v10.9.2) my mail has refused to open keeps coming up with the mail has had a problem would you like to reopen screen. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

  • ITunes will not open on my iPhone with the new update 10/18/13

    iTunes will not open on my iPhone after the new update 10/18/13. It opens on my iPad that also has the new update; just not my iPhone.

    OK, so what troubleshooting steps have you taken?  Have you taken the ones recommended in the User Guide?  Exactly what HAVE you done thus far to help solve your problem?

    I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos.  It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again.  Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device).  Under Settings, click on Music.  To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
    Check the box at the top for Sync Music.  That turns ON automatic syncing for music.  Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod).  Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below.  Then click Apply.

  • My scroll bar keeps freezing when a open a second PDF in a session.

    When I open the first PDF, it works just fine, but when I open a second PDF, either in a second tab or just later on in the same session, the scroll bar remains locked at the top.

    try doing a SMC RESET if you've tried repair permissions...

  • Since the new updates am unable to move and scale a photo when trying to apply it as wallpaper or to a contact.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    SInce getting the new updates I am unable to move and scale a picture when I am trying to assign it as wallpaper or as a contact. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

    It's a known issue. You do have more control if you go into the photos app, resize etc and then send it to your wallpaper. It wont' be perfect, but better.

  • Firefox always in task manager - it doesn't always close the program since the new update

    Since I got the new Firefox 29.0.1 - when I want to reopen Firefox, I constantly have to go into the Task Manager and shut down the process before it will let me in.
    I haven't had any Windows updates nor updated/added any new software on my PC since the Firefox update. So I know it has to be Firefox that's causing this bug.
    A screenshot of my PC's System Task Manager after I closed Firefox:
    http://www.tyacke.net/firefox 29.0.1.jpg

    Found the screen shot; http://www.tyacke.net/firefox/29.0.1.jpg
    Your '''\''' in the original address should be a '''/'''.
    I don't see Firefox listed.
    =====================================
    From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the issue may
    be caused by the clear history settings.
    Press the '''<Alt Key>''' to bring up the tool bar. Then '''Tools > Options > Privacy'''.
    The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
    At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
    '''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.

  • I downloaded FF4 and when it opened it doesn't show the new Single Firefox button in the upper left hand corner. I still have the traditional Windows buttons.

    This is on a Windows 7 machine. I like the new layout and it shows up on my Windows Vista laptop at home. Would just like to have the new layout.

    To get it you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

    I went back to iOS 7 and my backup file is restoring but when its done nothing is on my phone still and only takes 11-15 minutes to restore the backup instead of taking 25+ minutes like usual so I guess the backup is corrupted. How can I fix this?
