Firefox randomly wont load pages for periods of time

So I have had this paticular issue on over 7 computers running different OS's from Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and 2003, and also Windows XP/Vista. What happens is I open firefox and begin to browse, Then randomly it can be 2 mins or 20 mins later when i click a link or try going to a different website no matter what tab or anything it just has the spinning circle and times out, Now i can open IE and browse that way instantly but i dont like IE. After about 5 minutes firefox starts to work again, This is a VERY annoying thing and Would love to figure it out, I have already tried the disabling dns preload so thats not it.
Thanks,
Drew

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You can try to repair the places database with this extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox 4 wont load page completely or play videos on youtube after clearing cache

    Firefox 4 wont load page completely or play videos on youtube and ive noticed its always after clearing cache. after a while it will start working properly but its kind of annoying. Know what the problem is?

    oh, there is still a pending issue with youtube unfortunately. I can play videos individually but if I click on a video that is part of a playlist it lags and then goes to a blank space where the video should be. Is that a flash player issue? So, I can play videos individually but not playlists.
    Any word on that would be awesome
    Thanks again

  • Hallo, my Firefox browser wont load youtube for some reason, the explorer will. I have tries to change the proxy setings as the firefox help center suggested, but to no avail. Also no updates were installed on firefox that I'm aware of. pleas help me.

    Hallo,
    For some reason firefox has stopped loading the youtube site for me. I can watch videos other people uploaded to facebook for example, but cant get into the site. the explorer will load the site, so I've tried changing the proxy settings in my firefox as recommended in the help center, but to no avail. Also there was no update installed that I'm aware of, getting to youtube through any link will simply give me an error message saying the connection was reset while the page was loading.
    pleas help me.

    I had trouble with youtube and cleared all history and cache. This cleared up the problem(s).

  • Safari opens but wont load pages

    Ever since I've downloaded the latest software updates from Apple a few days ago, safari will open but not load pages 90% of the time. I have to force quit safari multiple times and try it again before it will finally open and load pages. what's up?

    I am having the EXACT same problem. At first I thought my network had slowed down, and I was ready to switch to Cable from DSL to speed things up, but then I noticed that when I bring my work portable home and work on the same network, I don't have any problem--although it uses the same network. It's a Dell portable that uses Windows and I get the same speeeds I have gotten until recently on my Apple computers. I switched to Apple and bought a new computer for my daughter last year and one for myself this year to avoid the security problems with Windows XP, but now my service is so slow that even dial-up would be speedier and half of the time the page loads don't work at all. WHat's up with this? I tried Firefox, but it's really not much better after the first day.

  • Lately when I access Optum Rx it mbegins to load but I get firefox having problem loading page

    Lately when I access Optum Rx I log in and it begins to download the I receive message firefox having problem loading page, why?

    Update your Firefox to latest version of Firefox 20.0.1
    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?

    FF 27.0.1 on Linux Mint 16 XFCE, up to date.
    I have my Preferences set to 'Show my home page'.
    Every time I close FF with the X in the top left corner, it comes up and asks me "Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?". I check the box not to be asked next time, and have tried both Save and Quit, and just Quit. When I open the browser again it seems to randomly decide whether to open all the tabs I had last time, or sometimes (rarely) just my home page tabs.
    I don't want it to open all the tabs I had open, and I don't want the question every time I quit FF. I've used FF for years with XP, but I am new to Mint.

    Does setting the "warnon" prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page to false has any effect?
    *browser.tabs.warnOnClose
    *browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs
    *browser.warnOnQuit
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br>Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

  • The last week, Firefox will not load up the NEW YORK TIMES. So, I have had to use Safari to do so. If this continues, I'm going to quit using your browser, and begin using Safari all the time!

    There are several other similar posts in this forum with the answers. Your post appears third in my Google search today looking for a solution so I thought I'd add the solution here as well.
    It is obviously a bug in either (or both) Firefox and the NYT.
    The quickest solution is to simply go to the VIEW Menu in Firefox, then the ZOOM option and choose RESET.
    I use Mac and this happens in Firefox 3.6.10. It does not happen in other browsers like Safari, Chrome and Camino, and it did not occur before last week.
    It has also occurred in the iOS version of Safari on iPad. Not sure how to fix it there.

  • Change name and description of cc-payrolls for periods of time

    Hello,
    There is the possibility to change the name and description of the cc-payrolls for periods of time, by V_512W_T, to avoid being copying a cc-payroll year to year.
    Thank you very much for the help,
    regards,

    Wage type texts can not be changed with date parameters if you wanted to distinguish wage type text period to period or year to year is not possible as of now, we have to differentiate them with different number XXXX - Basic YYYY - Personnel.
    Regards

  • Just downloaded the 7.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. Does this use up data and how can I get it to stop pausing for periods of time?

    Just downloaded the 7.1.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. I'm wondering how I can stream more than just my purchased music?And does this use up data? Also, how can I get playback to stop pausing for periods of time? It is a wifi thing??

    If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
    Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
    If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

  • Firefox wont load pages, other browsers do, firefox solutions did not work?

    Hello!
    I have Windows 7, and run Firefox Beta 36.0. I have it set to update automatically, and it seems there was an update yesterday, and now Firefox will not load any pages.
    I have tried changing the proxy settings, configuring the firewall, and restarting my computer; none of them worked. :(
    After configuring the firewall, there are now two Mozilla Firefox programs shown (in the allowed programs and features list)? I had made sure to delete, then re-add them, but it made two Mozilla Firefoxes in the list appear. Not sure if this effects anything though.

    Ah, I figured it out by changing the firewall settings on Norton to allow for firefox and the firefox add-on, instead of auto. Hopefully putting the setting on allow instead of auto wont make me vulnerable to security threats!
    I was about to cry haha, Chrome wouldn't download as I wanted to use it until I could find a solution, and I though I would be stuck with IE for forever. xD
    Thanks, hopefully this will help others!

  • Firefox wont load pages completely after removing firefox cache

    Every Time i remove my firefox cache you tube and yahoo and other pages wont load completely or will load with errors. Anyone know why this is happening?

    Sometimes you only disable the user interface of security software, but the firewall services are still running in the background.
    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.

  • Firefox wont load pages

    Firefox won't load any pages. It just does nothing!
    I used to use it a lot until this happened a while back. I have reloaded it. I have started in Safe mode.
    If I run the mouse over buttons, they change shade, and some work.
    But if I want to look at connection settings Tools > Options >>> then the Options box will pop up empty.
    If I enter a URL, lets say www.bbc.co.uk nothing happens, no matter what I hit.
    I have also tried closing my firewall but still no results.
    Any ideas??

  • Firefox 4 wont load spacific pages correctly

    OK; 3 times I have upgraded from Firefox 3.6 to version 4. Every time when I goto the page
    http://nzbmatrix.com/index.php
    the column headed 'name' is foreshortened and I have to revert back to Firefox 3.6 to resolve the problem

    There are lots of complaints inthe forum area of this site about the problem with Firefox 4; most suggest disabling all add ons a nd hardware acc; but some people report this makes no difference.
    Here is one reply
    "Damn, this issue is frustrating. Ctrl-r does not fix it and neither does turning hardware acceleration off. I am forced to start up chrome to render this correctly.
    zstr wrote:
    This happens to me when the site is loading extremely slow.
    The culprit is the CSS "border-collapse" property.
    To fix this get the Stylish add-on and add this style:
    CODE:
    @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
    @-moz-document domain( "nzbmatrix.com" ) {
    .nzbtable {
    border-collapse: separate !important;
    Thanks, this did the trick. "
    I'll stick with version 3.6 for the time; until another vesion of Firefox is released.
