Firefox keeps "not responding" all the time ... is very anoring

it happens mostly while using facebook's posting page (FB and the Zynga games on FB are the only thing I'm on most of the time I'm on line) ... I keep running into "FIREFOX NOT RESPONDING" all the time ... I'll go to click on a posting and nothing happens ... when i click again the page goes cloudy and that DARN blue wheel shows up (I hate the wheel) & at top of computer is says "Firefox not responding" ... my scrolling wheel will not work right ... jumps up & down the page or won't move at all ... always have to be refreshing the page or exit firefox & reopen ... looses connection a lot or is out of sync & has to be refreshed ... this started to happen several weeks back after I first downloaded Firefox 4 ... in fact I've had to reload it several times ... this is all very frustrating when trying to play my games ... I've defragmented, run both my AGV & windows washer programs several times but nothing seems to help ... had no problems with earlier firefox so tried to reload it but now can't get earlier version to work either

  • When I try to open Firefox, it says it is running in the Task manager, but will not open until the memory has reached about 100,000k. Also, it keeps NOT responding all the time, and freezes up.

    I have done everything on the support page. I am running Windows Vista, and I am running Firefox 4.01. I have even tried running in safe mode. I have updated my plugins, and then disabled plugins and extensions.

    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist

    Because GPS has nothing to do with WiFi, cellular signals, or data of any sort. GPS is implemented by signals sent by satellites that are received by GPS receivers. The receivers process the information from the GPS satellites and calculate your location. GPS never sends data anywhere; GPS functionality is receive only.
    If you have WiFi or cellular data turned on this can improve the accuracy of GPS, because the GPS receiver can then use the known location of cell towers and WiFi networks to refine the GPS location. GPS by itself has an accuracy of 10 meters, or about 34 feet. Using the additional information from WiFi and cellular data this can be brought down to 3 meters (10 feet). This mode is called Augmented GPS, or A-GPS.

  • Firefox keeps (not responding) how do I fix it?

    Firefox keeps (not responding) was using 6.0 and saw online that someone switched back to 5.0 so I tried that, still not working. Also saw on your help page that other people are having this problem. Any solutions?

    You're not the only one. Despite other comments, it's not a RAM issue. I have been having the problem for a week. I sent numerous complaints to Facebook, but their IT staff is either poorly trained or grossly understaffed, because nothing gets done, and you never get a response.
    My home page loads, and that's it. I've tried it on three computers in my home, and in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and get the same result in all three, as well as on my other computers.
    I hope they will eventually resolve the issue, but it's MADDENING. I got my Facebook access back on Thursday night, and it worked for the weekend, but I lost it this morning again.

  • My iPad mini keeps restarting randomly all the time

    My iPad mini keeps restarting randomly all the time, I already restored it to manufacturer settings, help! This started about a week ago, and I can't take it to Apple because I got this Christmas 2012. I already reset it all, and it still keeps restarting.

    I had the same problem.  I ended up restoring to the factory settings using the method:
    1. connect usb to computer
    2. hold down home button and connect cord to ipad...continue holding down home key until connect to itunes appears on screen, then release
    3. restore to factory settings
    I lost all my pictures and data, but the ipad works again. Such a pain! Not happy about this at all!

  • My firefox restarts my PC all the time.

    Hello Guys
    My firefox restarts my PC all the time. It just hangs everything on the computer and restarts without stopping. What to do?
    I formatted my machine and I can not use firefox. It restarts my computer all the time, lock screens, freezes and shuts down the entire system.
    How do I remove it and stop the problems I can work normally.
    Someone can tell me what to do? why is this happening?
    Regards
    Suzana

    Eset looks good, so maybe it's not a virus, but I would try also running:
    ADWCleaner . . . https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/
    and
    Malwarebytes Free . . . http://www.malwarebytes.org/downloads/
    I was getting the blue screen a while back, when I had an old sound card installed. I think the driver was incompatible.
    I moved around and reseated the memory. I did a memory check. There was no problem there. I used the tip of a ballpoint pen to reset the CMOS: I pressed in and held the yellow button in the corner for 10 seconds, this checked the RAM, if there were an error, it wouldn't go up to 2048
    I found that there was an update for the BIOS, so I did that. Look on the manufacturer's web page. It may not have been the fix, but that's something to look at.
    Two other culprits that I know from experience - make sure you have the latest driver for your system, for the video card - not a bad idea to look at the sound card also.
    I'm in Win 8.1
    First, here's what I would do (have done) - If you're in Windows, this is probably the same path:
    Control Panel / System / Advanced system settings / Advanced tab / Startup and Recovery - Settings / System failure / [un-check] Automatically restart
    . . . Reason: Because then the next time it restarts, it will give you a blue screen, and hold, right there.
    . . . This gives you the opportunity to see an error code at the bottom of the screen, that will enable you to figure out what's going on.
    . . . If it just restarts, I think this flashes on the screen, then just continues to restart.
    . . . Write down the code, get back online, and start googling to figure out how to fix.
    . . . From the blue screen, hold down the power button for a couple of seconds, that will power it off. Leave it off for 10 seconds, then power it back on.
    Second - here's where to look for more clues . . . see what was going just before the crash, and start googling what looks suspicious:
    Programs / Administrative Tools / Event Viewer / Windows Logs - and look under:
    . . . Application . . . and
    . . . System

  • Siri keeps poping up all the time

    HI!
    I'm using iPhone5 with the latest software version, iOS 7.1.2. Last week, siri keeps poping up all the time even I didn't use the phone, just put on the table. firstly, I check the raise to speak option, that can use siri by raising the phone to the ear, without pressing the home button, but it isn't turn on. I can't find the way to stop siri to annoying me, so I just turn of the siri. However, even the siri is gone, voice control comes replace. Now, my phone start to play the music automatically. After that, when I press the sleep button, the phone will capture the screenshot right away. Finally, I realize the what is the problem of this issue. I have faced with the voice control and capture screenshot before in iPhone4, and the problem is that the the home button is stuck or being held. Therefore, I went to the repair center to change the new home button, and now my phone return to normal.
    Come to share some experience, and I hope that it can be a guideline or solution for others who face the same problem.

    I am discussing similar issues in a separate thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1333938&tstart=0
    I found one or two such postings in Finder/Dock discussion group also. I feel it is a bug in Leopard but Apple support is not acknowledging it.
