Firefox is continually "not responding"; between Mar 7 and Mar 8 the ".json" bookmarks file has doubled in size

For some time prior to Mar 7 FireFox (27.0.1) had started "not responding" when I clicked on any link on any page. In desperation I uninstalled and re-installed FireFox on Mar 7. The problem came back. The only other thing that I noticed when I looked at my profile folder is that the bookmarsbackup...json file doubled in size the next day (Mar 8)

Hi BillFreund,
I do not know. Do you notice duplicates? This should not happen.
This is a good reference to start troubleshooting if it starts to not respond any longer.
[[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
You can try to launch the browser in safe mode by clicking control + shift to see if the file doubles in size again.
Something else that you have installed isn't causing or contributing to that fault.

Has anybody else been seeing (Not Responding) at the top of the screen and having thier browser not respond to wheel scrolling and scrolling with the usual slider at the right part of the screen?

I have noticed my Firefox browser is having way too many incidences where it is "Not Responding". The browser freezes up for a second quite often and the "Not Responding" message will appear at the top of the screen.
The browser will also not scroll with either the scroll bar on the right nor with the mouse wheel. Both used to work in previous versions of Firefox, but it seems to have gotten worse since Firefox 5 0r 6. The same with the "Not Responding". It is happening more with Firefox 7 than in at least the past two versions.
Anybody else having these issues? Seems like they are hand-in-hand. Thanks for any and all help or advice. It's making me pretty angry since I'm online all day for work.
Just an FYI. At the bottom of my troubleshooting copy/paste is a suggestion to update the driver for my graphics. That was a no-go. I tried that.

Thank you for this first reply! I'll have to give this a try later....the main laptop I experience this on crashed not more than an hour after I posted this issue. I'm on a tiny, slow netbook that hasn't had the same problem. Now I'm wondering if I picked up a Trojan on the main laptop and the "Not Responding" message is a side effect of a virus or Trojan.
One of the system .dll files has been corrupted and I'm not being allowed to use recovery discs, previous disc images, or any recovery options. That was an all day sucker yesterday and from what I've read on forums and have researched, it appears I'm going to need to reload the operating system. If it is indeed a Trojan/virus, I'm surprised it made it through my antivirus and firewall. Anything is possible, really.
Thanks again, I'll get back with results once I get the wounded laptop back up and running.

Firefox 5 continually "not responding"

Hi,
I upgraded to firefox 5 and immediately started having trouble accessing sites. The error is "not responding". This has happened at work and at home. After about 5 mins the page is displayed. I can use chrome or IE to display the page while firefox is "not responding". Firefox has become un-usable for me. Any help would be most appreciated.
Chris

Firefox hangs, shows Not Responding, on start up and at random times

Firefox is hanging on start up and at random times during use. When I click the desktop icon it takes about 20-30 seconds and then opens the usual Firefox start page. However as soon as I move the mouse or try and use anything on the screen it hangs. The Firefox logo top left in the blue bar turns into a white box. After about 2 minutes it reverts to the Firefox logo and all starts working normally.
However every now and then the same thing happens, white box, and the Not Responding words in the top blue bar. Sometimes the whole webpage goes blank white, with only the very top blue bar and side scroll bars showing.
It reverts to normal after a minute or so.
This has happened with the last few versions so it is not due to the last update.
I've tried most things (plugins, stop hardware acceleration, etc) except the one below - maybe someone has an answer to why I can't do the one below?
I've read that you can try and correct by right clicking the decktop icon, choosing Properties, and then Select Compatibility and my Windows Program which is Windows XP SP3. However when I try this the latest Windows showing is 2000. - Maybe this is my problem - how do I get the comnpatibility to Windows XP S3?
Thanks

Hey ramjet.
Could you please copy/paste your info from your post to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new questions/new]? That'll help us get specific details about your Firefox configuration so we can assist you one-on-one.
Thanks!

FireFox is frequently 'not responding', over my program's interface and webpages comes a transparrent light white layer and than I have to wait about half a minute before it continues to function well. How can I solve this?

Well I read a sollution to my problem but I can't locate the lead to the sollutions for this 'not responding' occuring status of my program. And I connot remember any of them cause I hardly read the options to solve my problem.
One suggestion was about FirFox saving documents of recovery or so and that certain documents should be deleted, but I don't know which ones. And this was only one of the suggestions to solve my program's problem.
Thank you for any lead.

Even upgrading to FF 9.0.1 didn't fix it.
Another description to the problem is "not responding for about 10-30 secs while the webpage becomes blurry white or translucent and the mouse cursor just keeps turning around and around until everything comes back to normal".
My addons are AdBlock Plus, AutoPager, FEBE, Foxclocks, iMacros, NoScript, SelectionSK, Webmail Ad Blocker, Webmail Notifier, Web of Trust and Xmarks.
It didn't happen on FF 8.0.1 when I was still using that version.
I've also updated Adobe Flash Player stable release and even tried 11.2.202.183 Beta 4 (Non-IE) version.
Still no luck. :(

Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
NOTE: Establish a habit of exiting/closing Firefox with Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit to allow an orderly shutdown of Firefox and closing of all of the files that Firefox has open.

Error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding" - I have read and action the KB - no fix

So before we start - I have read the KB (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-already-running-not-responding) and actioned the advice on how end the processes, delete the parental lock, etc. This gives a temporary but one time only fix and does not resolve the overall issue.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the application.
So why do I get the Error message "Firefox is already running but is not responding"?

See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use
Note that in Firefox 13+ (expected to be released June 5) the parent.lock file is no longer deleted after closing Firefox to make it possible to check for startup crashes, so the presence of that file will in the future no longer indicate a problem.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Do you have multiple keyboard layouts installed?
It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.

Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.

Firefox continually stops responding, is very slow and I can't load games on it

I have Vista Home Premium 32 Bit OS. Normally, Firefox is very stable and totally reliable, but it has been "stalling" more and more often: not responding for a period and then starting again. Now, though, it only lasts a few seconds before it stalls again. It is very slow. I can't load games (from Pogo.com).
I have cleared my temporary internet files, updated Java and restarted my computer several times. Nothing helps. What can I do.
When I restart, it has been taking over 10 minutes before my computer is ready to use again.

Im glad Im not the only one. I have tried everything I can think of, and I dont seem to have any infections of any kind, but Mozilla is molassas in January slow. So slow that using my mouse and typing is ridiculous. I just cant see what I am typing it takes so long to post its likes a paragraph behind my writing. Im on IE (which I loathe) to type this.
Whats up Firefox? I love you......why are you doing this to me?
Im on Vista, I checked all my addons and I uninstalled the only one that said it was incompatible, (HP web something or other) and its no better at all. ANY help at all would be great.

I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy.

I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac. when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.

Public Interface not responding after second node is started in the cluster

Hi
Has anyone ever experienced the public interface not responding between nodes in the cluster (ping, ssh, scp) after the second nodeapps is started in the cluster?
This is a new install so all I have installed so far is the base release of CRS 10.2.0. This is on Solaris10. The vipca failed during the installation, however I was able to proceed and manually add the nodeapps using srvctl add nodeaps -n -o -A.
It seems after the second node is started I loose all connectivity to the public interfaces and to my default gateway.
Also I'm getting the following messages sometimes after I try and stop the nodeapps and start them back up.
CRS-1006: No more members to consider
CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora.node1.vip'.
Any suggestions on where I should start troubleshooting?
Thanks

Do you have default GW?
It can connects with GW, can't it?
Check metalink
CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora..vip' [ID 356535.1]
CRS-1006: No more members to consider when starting service [ID 465364.1]
