Firefox keeps not responding.also chrome and internet explorer dhas the sma problem

fire fox keeps not responding.I have the same problem with internet explorer and chrome.I have spent a fortine on pc systems repair but they have not cured the problem.I operate windows vista.my desk topis a Dell dimension c 521 IT IS 3 YEARS OLD.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • 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.

  • Every time I try to print a file to Adobe PDF, I get the message "Firefox is not responding". When I try to cancel the print job, all of my Firefox tabs shut down. This just started today. Up until today, I could print a page to Adobe PDF with no problem.

    The print dialouge box comes up. I select print to PDF. Another box comes up and says it is preparing the document (This is the way it has always been). Then, nothing. It says Firefox is not responding. If I try to close out the print box, it not only closes the page I was on, but any other open tabs in Firefox. How can I fix this?

    I didn't see that I could edit the question before "I answered myself." I updated the question.

  • Page not displaying in Safari and Internet explorer but showing up in Mozila

    Hi,
    I bought this pre-made template which I would like to use for my website. When I upload it to my website and try to open the pages like "Contact us", "News", "Team members" and so on, they are not displaying in Safari and Interner Explorer, but they DO show up in Mozilla. Also, the pages I created myself do show up in all browsers. I really need to fix this problem as I already put a lot of effort to create my web site and now it is not working online. I would really appreciate some help. Here is the link to the original template:

    The tag should read "myself" (no quotes) not "_self".

  • Why do I see two different versions of a website on Firefox and Internet Explorer? The version on Firefox is an older version of the website.

    I use Intuit to maintain a website. After I update the website, Firefox continues to display the previous version while the revised version is displayed on Internet Explorer. I have tried using both Firefox and Internet Explorer when I revise the website, but that does not appear to make any difference. The version on Firefox usually updates to the new version with in a day or two, but the change on Internet Explorer is immediate.

    Try clearing your browser cache.
    Tools > Clear Recent History... - hit Details and make sure only Cache is selected, then select Everything and hit the Clear Now button.

  • After downloading last update itunes and safari will not connect but mozilla and internet explorer does running windows vista

    Itunes and safari will not connect after installing the last update, but mozilla and internet explorer does.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Firefox keeps "Not Responding" and freezing my computer

    As of late, my Firefox browser has been freezing my entire computer. It keeps saying that it is "not responding", my mouse turns into that blue circular loading screen, I can't exit anything, I can't even open task manager, I have to take the battery out just for my computer to turn off.
    I scanned everything with Norton; didn't detect anything. I even did the Norton Power Eraser, still nothing. I set Firefox to run the program as an administrator and I thought it was fixed but it wasn't.
    I even update my plug-ins and for some reason, your website keeps telling me I need to update the same ones, so I can't even rely on that.
    I noticed that it does happen when I'm on a Youtube page. Like when I've paused a video.
    It opens fast, it browses fast, it goes to certain websites fast. It's this annoyance that has really bothered me and has considered me switching to Google Chrome.
    If you don't want me to, then tell me how to fix this issue.

    I am having the same problem... it seems isolated to the version I was running at the time which was V21.0.
    Less than a week ago it just hung/froze my system completely for no reason..no keyboard no mouse no luck...
    I am running Windows 7 Enterprise x64 Bit and runs well with no other issues.. here's what I tried...
    Uninstalled Firefox completely including all personal data, caches, etc, then I downloaded a fresh copy from mozilla.org (V21.0) and installed it.
    Now I have the same issue!
    Chrome runs perfectly as does Internet Explorer, so does any one have any ideas as to what changed in this version that would cause such a condition to occur?

  • Mozilla Firefox 7.0.1 is not loading web pages properly. It takes forever to load pages. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer load them rapidly. I have no spyware and disabled all addons. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions??

    Web pages are taking an extremely long time to load. Sometimes they don't load at all. This is especially true with video sites like YouTube. I scanned my entire computer with Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes, Iobit Malware Fighter, SuperAntiSpyware, Windows Defender, Malicious Software Remover Tool, and Emisoft Anti-Malware. I did an anti-virus scan with Avast. I also ran CCleaner and Advanced System Care to clean all junk. Nothing is working.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Running about 7 tabs open at startup, this has always worked fine, here is the problem and the sequence of events leading up to hope. Any suggestions would be appreciated:
    Background:
    Mozilla updated me to 7.0 automatically a few days ago, no problems
    Yesterday they auto updated me to 7.0.1, now it won't connect
    Scaled back to 3 tabs at start now it connects but after a minute of so, the icon in the tabs just spinning and it isn't connected
    Scaled back to one tab the same thing
    Reinstalled Firefox, disabled the Norton firewall to test, same thing
    Checked the application setting on the firewall, it is set to allow or auto
    I downloaded Firefox 8 beta same issue
    Any suggestions would be appreciated, not sure it is foxfire or not but the upgrade to 7.0.1 started
    Anyway to go back to a pre 7 release?
    I disabled the add on and have the same problem.
    BTW IE 8 works fine.
    Thanks

  • Firefox is scaling down the photo sizes, along with chrome and internet explorer but Firefox's photos are usually smaller

    I sell products on a site, along with other sellers, that is owned by someone else.
    We have many sellers there. Some of us are having problems with how we are able to view the size of our photos taken of our products that are up for sale.
    From seller to seller, we have different versions of Firefox that we are using. I have the newest Firefox, which I believe is 4.
    I was having, like others who use 4, the same problem seeing smaller photos before I did the upgrade as well.
    It seems to be the case for most of us who are having the problem, that Firefox photos scale down smaller than Internet Explorer and Chrome.
    We have been told that this may be a browser issue as the site owners say they have not made any changes. At this point we are unsure since there are so many variations from seller to seller (keep in mind that some sellers are not seeing the photos scale down through their computer).
    We have asked the site owners to look into this problem further. I also wanted to see what the Firefox community had to say. Do you think it may be a browser issue? We would greatly appreciate your input.
    Below are some examples of photos that have been scaled down for the sellers who are seeing a problem with smaller photos while both in Firefox; all using different versions of Firefox:
    One photo that was originally the size of 419px by 1, 007px is being seen by one seller to a scaled down size of 81px by 64px.
    Another seller is viewing this same photo scaled down to 163px by 329px.
    Another seller is able to view this photo as the original size it was intended to be, which is 419px by 1, 007px.
    The above scenario has been the worst scaled down size we have heard of so far.
    Typically a photo that is the size of 1, 000px by 930px has been scaled down to 420px by 391px.
    There are other examples as to size, but you can see that the photos have been scaled down quite a bit.
    You can see that it has been scaled down to less than half of the original size. This can pose a real problem for us depending on the type of product that is being photographed.
    Thank you!!

    Thank you!!

  • Firefox keeps "Not Responding" randomly, then comes back after 10-15 Seconds.

    Every now and then, when I'm on Firefox it will not respond then the window will fill white and at the top it will say "Mozilla Firefox (Not Responding)".
    It responds after about 10-15 seconds but this keeps happening every 2-3 Minutes and is making Firefox unusable to watch videos on Youtube and read other things as when it starts responding it take me back to the top of the page.
    I cannot pinpoint which websites this is on but it normally (But not always) happens when I have more than one tab open (Usually on Youtube + SammyServers.com)

    I'm already sick enough of this problem over the past few weeks that I was ready to switch to Chrome, but thought that I would check Firefox support first.
    If there isn't a fix soon, I'll definitely be switching. I've not had problems like this with Firefox before, but this is very disruptive.
