* Try this.
* Type in the address bar about:config.
* Accept the warning.
* In the page that appears, in the Filter box, type network.http.max-connections.
* Change the value to 32 (which is probably set to 256 in your case).
* Close the about:config page.
* Restart the browser.

  • Firefox often freezes for several seconds.

    Firefox seems to freeze a lot on me. It usually happens when I do stuff, but not heavy stuff, just like, clicking and scrolling. It's not the Windows kind of freeze where the window goes white, it just literally stops, like a laggy video game. Usually lasts a few seconds, and then it executes my action after it unfreezes. It wasn't so bad at first, but now it's really, really annoying.
    Firefox 3 was never like this, it's only since 4. It might have something to do with the crazy amount of memory Fx seems to use; it starts at about 100k and then gradually grows as high as 1.2m.

    Same problem here.
    Solved by downloading & installing Adobe Flash "square" for both FF4 (plugin) and MSIE9 (ActiveX).
    System: Intel Core i7-860/4GB, Win7 Ulti 64-bit SP1, MSIE 9 64-bit, FF4.
    Good luck!

  • When opening a new tab, Firefox often freezes for a few seconds until the page has loaded completely.

    When I open a new tab, the tab must load completely before Firefox will respond at all. I cannot do anything in Firefox; Windows and the rest of my programs that are running are unaffected. This happens randomly, but it is more common on certain websites. How do I fix this?
    Thanks!

    Please check for the problem in [[safe mode|safe mode]].. does it work there?

  • Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive

    Macbook pro freezes for no reason even after installing 10.8 on a brand new hard drive.
    Tried to reset pram, smc, nvram.
    Tried installing new RAM.
    Tried installing new hard drive.
    You should know that my internal drive is installed in a cheap external case and plugged in a USB 2.0 port because i am waiting for a new hard drive cable.all
    Yep all good things happened to me...i don't know if all these problems are linked, ahh and also my trackpad is behaving very erraticaly sometimes, it's like it is possessed by a ghost. My computer is not under warranty anymore so i'd like to avoid a trip to the Apple store but i'm close to doing just that.
    Any help appreciated...

    It's diagnostic software. It's supposed to help you find problems. I don't think anyone is making any software yet that fixes hardware problems.
    That said, the two comments:

    would lead me to think it's the logic board. On older MacBook Pro's both the USB I/O ports and the keyboard/trackpad are fed out of an integrated USB controller integrated into the South Bridge I/O controller. On newer models, the USB ports come out of an integrated North/South bridge controller and the keyboard/trackpad are handled by an SMC controller, which itself interfaces with the I/O controller. All of these items are on the logic board, and they're all unrepairable.
    ...unless of course the "internal drive [that] is installed in a cheap external case" is itself causing the problems. Another thing to try might be a different USB port, if you haven't done so already.
    I didn't know the price for Scannerz went up. I could have sworn I only paid 30-some bucks for it. Maybe it was on sale at the time. I don't remember.
    In any case, good luck.

  • The urgent notice to update to Firefox 5.0 for security reasons warned that"Incompatible Add-ons Found" and won't work until made compatible but how do I make them"compatible?"

    When I tried to respond to the urgent notice to update to Firefox 5.0 for security reasons I was stopped by a screen that said "Incompatible Add-ons Found" It identified two add-ons, Move Media Player 1.0.0.07103010 and Real Player Browser Record Plugin 14.0.3 that would be disabled. It said that "as soon as they are "made compatible" Firefox will update and re-enable these add-ons" It is not clear who is to make them compatile. I have no idea how to make them compatible and I don't even know what they are for. I don't want to lose any functionality as the result of an update, so what should I do?

  • Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really.

    Firefox frequently freezes for 30-60 seconds when I click on bookmarks, bookmark buttons, almost anything really. It has been doing this ever since I downloaded the latest update (7.0.1). It is really frustrating. Can you please help?

    You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
    Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.

  • ITOUCH TURNS OFF/ FREEZES FOR NO REASON!

    my itouch that apple just sent me cause my broke turns off or freezes for no reason at all! why is this?!?!

    I had a simlar issue with a fairly full battery. It'd loaded an app and assumed that this was the cause. Getting the iTouch to switch on was trial and error pressing the two buttons in sequence etc. I was pretty worried. That was a few days ago...since when I haven't been able to sync

    Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
    You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

    Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

  • Number of tabs open in Firefox 4 and for no reason the loaded page will disappear and I have a blank page defaulting to Bing, I cannot find Bing in any of the settings and this blanking out is frustrating.

    Upgraded to Firefox 4, and have a number of tabs open, and for no reason a tab will clear the loaded page and default to a bing search page, when I check extensions and addons there is no sign of bing so havent a clue how it is doing this
    I dont know whether this is related but since upgrading to version 4 everyso often the page will go into a loop if you are trying to refresh the page and the anticlockwise comfort bar will keep spinning

    Problem involving videos played from the YouTube site is much less noticeable after upgrading from FF 4.0b8 to 4.0b9, but still occurs with embedded YouTube videos, where blacking out of other portions of the window still happens.

  • New version of firefox keeps freezing for minutes at a time every time I open it and my computer is new and IE works fine but hate IE

    I have never had this problem before and it is happening on multiple computers. Firefox freezes for several minutes then unfreezes and works fine for awhile, then freezes again. Happening on two computers but not on other two only since 3.6 update. Please, help, as my brand new computer is doing this. It is not my ISP and does not happen on IE. Thanks!

  • Firefox 4 freezes for several seconds for some websites

    The new Firefox 4 browser seem to have become a nightmare for me; its freezes for about 5-10 seconds while loading some webpages(not all websites).
    For example webcosmo.com home page and most other pages.
    cricinfo.com pages

  • My MacBook keeps freezing for no reason!

    So I bought a MacBook about 3 weeks ago and I was super excited and I love this thing, but it keeps freezing for no apparent reason! I will just be on the internet, or listening to music on iTunes or chatting, and it will freeze. I can't get any response from the keyboard or the mousepad and if music is playing, it sounds like the track is skipping. I have to force shut it down by holding the power button down everytime this happens. Sometimes it will happen after 30 minutes, sometimes not for 3 hours. I took it in 2 weeks ago for a hardware check and it came up clear and they told me it should be fine and might be my wireless internet connection. I have a NETGEAR wireless router. So, I turned off airport and did other things on the computer and it ran fine for over 3 hours without freezing. I was convinced it was my internet. BUT.... I had my friend come over and hook up to my internet connection and we both were on our macbooks (she has the exact same model as me) and mine froze and hers was completely fine the whole time! I was really angry and confused, so I brought my macbook back in again last friday. They told me there was an airport update, so I downloaded it and it seemed to be working. But that night, it froze once again. I was so frustrated and didn't know what else to do, so I did a complete system reinstall to clear out any programs that may have been causing the problem. I was so sure that this was going to work. And it seemed like it did. It's been working all week without freezing. Until tonight. I was sitting at my desk, reading my email, listening to music on iTunes, and chatting on iChat. I wanted to move my computer, so I unplugged from the wall, sat in a different chair and didn't plug back into the wall. It was fine for about 2 minutes in the new location, and then it froze once again. I honestly don't know what to do other than just bring it back and ask for a new one. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Any other suggestions? I just want this to stop!!!

    Hi Stephen,
    There seems to be alot of threads about this issue.
    I just put 'freezes' into the search and loads came up.
    It sounds like you've had a bad start with your new MB.
    Does it get extra hot before it freezes?
    There is a thread about the heat issue and freezing here...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4710316&#4710316
    Have a read and see if any of your problems are similar.
    If it persists much longer I would get in touch with Apple again and get it sorted.
    Hope this helps!

  • IPhone 3GS Keeps freezing for no reason.

    Hey All,
    I bought a second-hand iPhone 3GS 16GB from Wicketgadget.com about... 6-7 months ago, the warranty has run out from that website and I doubt it's going to have the original apple warranty from it. I don't have AppleCare and I refuse to pay for support, that's stupid IMO.
    Anyway, my problem is that my phone tends to just freeze up for no reason what-so-ever.. for example, I'll be doing something and it'll work fine, if I were to lock it and the screen went black like normal it'd be fine until I try to un-lock it 10 minutes later by pressing the home button or the lock button again and nothing will happen, infact I have to physically reset it by holding down those two buttons for at least 30 seconds or more before it responds. I then have to turn the phone off once it restarts and turn it back on again normally or else it continues to freeze no matter what I do.
    I've tried fully restoring it,
    I've tried updating it (it's running iOS 5.0.1),
    I've tried everything I can think of.
    It's had the digitizer and lcd replaced at least 3 times, including a new dock-charger incl. speaker set.
    I'm currently on O2-UK,
    The phone is running iOS 5.0.1,
    My serial number is 880304GJ3NP
    Help?

    Could anybody help me please?

  • Firefox 18 freezes for a little bit on certain websites

    For certain websites Firefox 18 will freeze for about a minute. One of the websites it does it on is GoPro.com. It will do it the first time I visit the site, then as long as the browser is open and I return to the site, it works as normal. As soon as I close the browser then open a new one and I go to GoPro's website again, it freezes. This is the same with some other websites as well.

    I've been having this same problem since about v14 of FF, and have investigated it extensively. It's not a Flash or Java problem; it's caused by some kind of scripting issue when a graphic (usually an embedded video) is scrolled onto the screen. If I enable NoScript the problem never manifests; but many sites then don't work correctly so I always end up disabling it.
    My guess is that FF has some issue processing certain (types of?) scripts. It doesn't happen on all sites, but occurs frequently on others (e.g., huffingtonpost.com).
    I really, really hope the dev team can find a solution for this soon because I've just about decided to move to Safari because of it.
