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!

  • System freezes for several seconds every minute or so?

    Recently, within the past week, my OS has began freezing for several seconds every 40 seconds or so. I had not downloaded any applications around the time this began. The last app I downloaded was iMovie 6 (for the editing features), I downloaded this several days after this problem began. The last app I downloaded BEFORE the problem began was UnRarX, which I downloaded back in April. I have no idea how to check my specs, and computer info, please tell me how to get this and I will tell you.

    Call AppleCare. Whenever you buy a new Mac, discs are always supplied with them. Usually they come in a white envelope that is square with the user manual in the box. If you bought it from a non-Apple source, you should call them and ask them to send you the disc. It isn't their's to keep, and they can call AppleCare to order them. And no, it isn't in the Utilities folder. It is a physical optical disc that looks like a music CD, but says MacBook Pro on it.

    * 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.

  • When uploading an image from my documents firefox 5 hangs for several seconds to a minute.

    This in on an XP SP3 system. The problem seemed to have started with 3.6 and has been a constant issue even with current versions. When I upload any file firefox just hangs for a short while then it's fine for the rest of the day only to come back the next day. I relocated "my documents" and it went away, then a few weeks ago I did a clean install and the problem seemed to be gone for good. Now the problem is back.
    I thought it might be a disk issue, but it checks out fine using check disk.

    The speed of image searching isn't a problem for me. The trouble is, the automatic zoom function is lightning fast and I find it disturbing to the point that it makes me feel very ill.
    I very much want a way of suppressing it.

  • 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?

  • Photoshop CS5 freezes for several seconds in Windows 7

    I am using Photoshop CS5.1 Extended with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with 6GB of RAM.  Everything worked good until about a week ago.  Now when I am working in the program all of the sudden everything freezes - the window, menus, everything.  The only thing that will move is the mouse cursor which is the tool that I was last using before the freeze occured.  I have to stop and wait for about 30 seconds then Photoshop unfreezes and starts working again until the next time it freezes.  Turning OFF the Open GL in the Performance Preferences doesn't help.  I have also deleted the preference file with no help.
    Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and how to fix it?
    Thanks.
    Bill

    Curt's advice is right on.
    An overall freeze could indicate the display driver is crashing and being reset by the OS.  Look in the Windows Event Logs (System and Application) for more evidence of what's happening specifically.  If you're having a driver crash it will cause an event to be logged.
    Also check to see if you have any network or hardware resources that were once available but are now missing (e.g., a mapped drive to a server that's not online or a printer that's been unplugged).

  • Streamed video constantly freezing for several seconds...

    ...then catching up to the spot where the audio continued without a problem, then again and again throughout. This happens for streams (including YouTube) that have not caused these problems for me in the past. A look at Task Manager shows Firefox using a lot of RAM and CPU. The problem seemed to start in the last month (or so). Here are my system details: Dell 4600 P4 2.40GHz, XP Home SP3, 1.5 GB RAM, Firefox 10.0.2, Flash ActiveX 11.1.102.55, Flash Plug-in 11.1.102.62, Norton Internet Security 2012, High Speed DSL (tested now as 3965kbps), Linksys WRT54G. Let me know if there's any other specs or problem description needed.

    I'd try a couple of things.  First, does this only happen with Firefox?  Have you tried Chrome or IE to see if the behavior is the same?  If it's not, then try creating a new Firefox profile to see if that helps.
    Make a new profile
    If it happens with all browsers, please take a look at YouTubes speed test page to get an idea of what they're recording for your bandwidth.

  • When I go to some web sites, my apple freezes for several seconds and then responds

    I try to go to certain sites and my mac freezes and then responds.  This is happening more frequently.

    I've experienced this too, it always seems to be caused by flash content. Mine happens intermitently so haven't really found a solution. Are all your plug-ins up-to-date? And are you running any sort of ad-blocker?

  • Firefox will not launch. The screen goes black for several seconds, then returns to the launcher drawer.

    Installed Fennec 4.0b2 on my Acer Liquid running Android 2.2. When I tried to launch application, the screen goes to black, with a grey bar at the top with the word "firefox" within. This screen persists for several seconds, before the returning to the previous screen.

    Thanks for the report. This is a known bug that only affects Acer Liquid phones. We're working on it, but we don't have a fix ready yet. For details, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606194

  • How do i freeze a frame in a movie and hold it for several seconds?

    Hi
    I have a clip where someone turns round and gives the 'thumbs up' to the camera - how do i hold this thumbs up position, for several seconds?
    Do i need to export a frame and import it back to the timeline or what?
    thanks

    Cut the clip in the timeline at the point where you want the "Thumbs Up" to freeze and make sure the playhead is on that frame.
    Then select Modify>Make Freeze Frame.
    The freeze-frame will appear in the Viewer.
    Click on it and drag it down to the timeline.
    You will have to alter its length according to what you want.

  • 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.

  • Whenever a new window (or even Firefox program windows like Add-ons, Bookmarks, Settings, etc) is opened, Firefox freezes for 30+ seconds before opening it.

    I have reset Firefox, then reinstalled, removed all of the extensions and plugins, uninstalled and reinstalled Flashplayer, updated Java, etc. I have also created new profiles, which have the same problem.
    The problem does not appear in Safe Mode, which is odd because I have disabled all of the built-in extensions and have run the program in regular mode, and the problem still occurs. Right now I am using no extensions, no plugins, and no themes, and Firefox still freezes for a short period of time whenever I try to open a new window.
    This problem does not happen in IE or Chrome. I have not installed any programs recently; the problem started happening randomly.

    Hi,

  • 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!

  • The browser freezes for a second while playing Zuma Blitz and Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. It also freezes for a second while typing. What's going on?

    During gameplay on Facebook it falls under Adobe Flash. If I "END" the plugin-container.exe the game crashes and have to refersh the page, in which case the plugin starts all over again. There seems to be no way to play without this process running. My typing is also freezing for a second before it catches up to my fingers. This has been happening for about two weeks. I never had this problem playing these games before.
    My OS is Windows Vista and I'm running Firefox version 3.6.13

    Update: Firefoxe's best browser was version ~2.2.21!
    Ever since then, the user experience has been less and less. Slower browser, feats most users don't use (like skins)... really.. I'm a bit disappointed at the (negative) progress of late.
