Firefox keep refreshing some webpages every second.

Firefox refreshes a webpage every second (if not faster ). This happens with certain websites and wont't let me stop it. Amazon.com's home page is one of them. Please advice.

* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server.

Since upgrading to Firefox 27.0 some webpages will not load when I click on them. It gives me a message saying that Firefox can't find the server. I have to click the link several time before it will load and sometimes when they do load it does not show the page right. It is like the HTML is messed up or something. I have tried everything I can think of. I started in safe mode, still did it., I removed add-ons, still did it., I reset Firefox and still did it., I completely uninstalled Firefox and re-installed Firefox and it still does it. I have tried Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scans and Avast boot-time scans and found no malware or viruses. I have found that those websites open the first time with no problems on my IE9 and they used to do so in Firefox 26.0. I'm at my wit's end. The website links are in my bookmarks and are used all the time so they are trusted and my avast is set to allow them. They range from news websites to gun websites and everything I have read says that Mozilla does not filter those unless something has changed recently.

Try this as a first step; 
Clear the Cache '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"''''' 
and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"''''' 
If there is still a problem,
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
While you are in safe mode;
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.

Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

Hey there mcsafranek,
It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Then close all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Why does Firefox keep installing Miro with every new update ?

Some months ago I downloaded Miro, although I never made much use of it.After the recent Firefox update to 3.6.4 I noticed that used memory suddenly jumped by around 20 % and when I investigated in Resource Monitor I found that Miro had started running 2 processes in the background which were consuming considerable resources. I also found that my address bar had been hijacked by a change in the keyword:URlL setting. None of these problems had come up prior to the 3.6.4 update. I uninstalled Miro, restored my keyword setting,and successfully killed it's processes. I used Revo uninstaller pro and I am certain that nothing was left behind. But after the next Firefox update to 3.6.6 I noticed a sudden jump in memory usage and then discovered that Miro had re-installed and had begun running the same 2 processes. I have now gone to considerable time and trouble to deal with this problem twice in one week and I would appreciate an explanation as to why Miro is re-installing every time i update Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I udated to 3.6.4, then 3.6.6

firefox keeps installing and uninstalling java on my windows xp pro computers. I hope this gets addressed before I switch to chrome.

Firefox keeps refreshing itself while I write emails.

It only happens in email sites like yahoomail and gmail. On facebook and as I write in here it isn't a problem. It gets really annoying when half of the letters I type don't transfer as it refreshes every few seconds...
I already tried turning the sites on simple html. the problem persisted. It didn't happen when I tried using my alternate browser.

And next day, although my addons appear in the sidebar, the compatibility checker (recommended here) tells me that ALL my addons are incompatible. Even the Evernote clipper doesn't work.
Also, I have done small tests and any icons I put into the navigation toolbar disappear when I restart Firefox.
I can't decide whether to download Firefox 9 or go back to a year old 3. something version, but will have to decide within the next few hours as I need to get functioning again.

Firefox keeps freezing for around 10 seconds and then continueing. My computer does never ever freeze and has good enough hardware so I suspect there is a problem with the software such as the plugins or anything else around Firefox. What can I do?

I have an I7 processor, 6 GB of RAM and a GTX 460 GPU.
As you see it is not a hardware problem.
It happens quite often on several websites.
I do not use a lot of plugins or addons. Actually, I use none. The only ones I have are the ones the browser requires to display content such as Adobe software, etc.

As a temporary get around, dare I say it? I'm using Google Chrome which doesn't have this glitch in it. Been doing so for a couple of days now and no problems at all. I've gone back to Firefox a few times and the two or three second freeze every 10 or 15 seconds resumes, so I'll maybe check Firefox in a few months and see if there is any improvement. Or maybe, I'll be so used to Chrome by then I won't bother.
Hope this suggestion helps.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Firefox keeps blocking my webpage from changing to a new page - I don't want it to do this. How to I stock the blocks?

When working in several different programs (Auctiva is one) I get a message that Firefox blocked my webpages attempt to direct me to a new page. Sometimes I can click allow, but sometimes the message is gone so fast i have No Option. In most cases this page switch is necessary for what I am doing to happen - in Auctivia my listing won't post to eBay for hours if it can't switch pages. How can I stop Firefox for blocking these page switches. It is happening more and more. I have adjusted everything I can think of in settings, but nothing helps.

I'm sorry I've never done that before - just tell me how to reach about:config!

Firefox keeps crashing on me every day at least two or three and it is very slow - what can I do to stop this??

When I turn on my laptop computer to use it, it crashes on me every day at least two or three times before I can use it.
Also, it is very slow such as when I want to scroll down my e-mail list. It stops and shows "loading" for a long period of time so I can't get to my older e-mails.
I didn't know that I was to keep the crash ID when I send crash reports.

Why does firefox keep asking for permission every time it starts, it never has before?

I'm using Windows 7 and recently used CCleaner to clean my registry and now Firefox asks for permission to make changes to my computer every time it starts. I have checked for viruses and malware, tried running Firefox as the administrator, removed all but one of my add-ons but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator. 
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties". 
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected. 
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory. 
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

Firefox keeps timing out after 10 seconds. this is too short for big sites, how can I change this?

I regularly use a very busy download site and find that Firefox closes me out of any part of the site, not just the current tab, when it times out after a max.10 seconds - seems less! I want to be able to allow the page to continue loading until it opens - because it will, just not in 10 seconds during busy times.

"Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file ''cookies.sqlite'' that stores the cookies is corrupted.
You can rename (or delete) '''cookies.sqlite''' (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' and '''cookies.txt''', if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Refresh every second

Hi guys!
I would like to refresh a label every second, and keep doing this.
What can I use?
Should be better to do the refresh in a different Thread?
thank you!

The DigitalClock class in this sample is an example of a Label which refreshes once per second:
https://gist.github.com/3388637 " Refactored sample of an animated clock in JavaFX"
It uses the Timeline animation method suggested by David Grieve and the Calendar.getInstance method suggested by fabsav.

Firefox keeps dropping my bookmarks or perhaps not storing them when I ask it to. Is there a fix?

Firefox keeps dropping some of my bookmarks and not storing others when I ask it to. Also, in searching for answers, I found out that I have 2 profiles. I couldn't open any of the 3 items in the first but in the second one I found a number of dated bookmarkbackups files. Am I supposed to have 2 profiles? How do I fix all this.
I have also noticed other anomalies and wonder if they are part of the new 32.0 download I just got. Today, twice, exactly 27 instances of Firefox opened when I clicked on it just once.

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your

In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Firefox keeps opening random website on it's own after regular intervals

Firefox keeps opening some random websites (alpha.com or something etc.) after regular intervals on its own. I have installed all the latest updates of flash etc. but it doesn't seem to solve the issue.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
