Firefox Stops loading and than i have to END PROCESS and sometimes crashes. help?

idk why or when this started happening but it sure is annoying. mozilla will do fine on one page. be running for hours at sometimes. than the second you go and look for another page. bam right in the middle of loading it will basically freeze. get a thinking curser and try and click on something. the not responding message comes up on the top. i then have to go so far as to open task manager and end it all together and start it back it. i wanna say it has something to do with adobe or maybe something else but i cant seem to find or fix it. (have gotten rid of adobe at one time and didnt fix my prob) have deleted mozilla and reinstalled. did not work. clear my cache. i have scanned my computer for virus's and malware, bots that sort of thing. im really about to try and find another browser if i cant figure this out soon. most of my crash reports have the letter bp at the beginning if that means anything. on average i have to do this 5 times a day. sometimes more depending on usage. id say 3-4 months have been doing this and finally fed up probably sent over a few hundred crash reports and i check my email and have never gotten an answer.

1. I suggest that you update to the latest 3.5.12 version (or 3.6.9) both of which were released this past week. A lot of stability fixes have been made to Firefox since the 3.5.5 version was new.

  • Firefox keeps "hanging" and sometimes crashes on my macbook. I've updated and went into safe mode, same problem. What next?

    I updated to the most recent form of Firefox and that didn't work. Then I restarted in safe mode, that didn't work. What else should I try?

    Hello graceajaen, you can provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
    #Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
    #Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

  • Firefox is hanging and sometimes crashing. It's using 50% CPU

    This is the signature:
    hang | Mozilla::plugins::PPluginInstanceParent::CallPaint(mozilla::plugins::NPRemoteEvent const&, short*)
    Or this one:
    hang | KiFastSystemCallRet
    Firefox is often "Not responding" - it seems to be worse when I have websites open with moving adverts on them, such as a news website or Hotmail and its adverts. Sometimes it crashes.
    It hangs all the time and all over the place, switching tabs, writing an email, clicking on a link... It's a nightmare.
    If I close the websites with the Flash adverts, Firefox drops to using only 1 or 2% CPU and works fine again.
    Please can you help?
    Thanks,
    Zoe.

    Hi,
    If it's any help, since posting my problem, I have found out that my Hotmail account had been hijacked by a spammers. The spamming software was probably the cause of all the excessive CPU usage as it worked through my 500+ contacts to create crap emails to send them and spread itself.
    I had to change my password and switched to https. I only did this after seeing the massive number of messages sent out which generated a few non-delivery messages.
    I don't know if the password change stopped the spammers or if, having totally abused my account, they abandoned it and moved on to somebody else's.
    It woud be nice to think that the browser software could have a built-in alarm which sets off if it is using 50% CPU, that is not normal processing power and could quickly shut down the spam activity???
    My account and firefox are all back to normal now.
    Regards,
    sirius(ly)blue.

  • Firefox stops loading files halfway through - i.e. has same settings (except allow for session) and works fine

    Firefox stops loading files halfway through - Internet explorer has same settings (except allow for session), is less secure and works fine.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Firefox stops loading pages after trying to open a heavy page

    firefox stops loading pages after trying to open a page with alot of pictures etc, with big size. it just keeps on loading pages with no result.
    my internet is fairly low speed so i take my time but this happened each time i tried to open such sites.
    even when i close that '''tab''' and try to open just '''google.com''' , it wont load.
    its solved after closing and opening firefox again . but happens again if i try to open the same heavy site

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.
    See:

    try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • Why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this also happen when I download.

    why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this is also happen when I download. if I does not move the mouse, the download process stops or stagnant ormanaged to download but not full

    hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
    if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
    <br>in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

  • My firefox stops responding and fades for about a half min almost every hour, OR MORE often

    My firefox stops responding and fades for about a half min almost every hour, OR MORE often.
    I am typing a message or information, the screen fades to about half bright. the curser freezes in place and no key responds.
    The information bar at the top of the page says "firefox not responding" in about 30 seconds it restores and continues as tho nothing happens.

    I might have discovered the solution without starting over with all your places and bookmarks.
    Right after i installed 7.0.1 over a week ago,every 10-30 min When i would be watching videos online, it would freeze for 20-30 seconds. Firefox would say ( Not responding) both firefox and the plugin container process would be very large memory files. I tried to go back to Firefox 5.0. No avail it would still freeze.I tried to disable the plugin container . no good. I tried to adjust memory or cache or plugin settings in “about:config”.Nothing fixed it!
    I finally discovered why my Firefox 7.01 was periodic hanging fix. It is something to do with some of your personal files. download this this add on and install it
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    or you can Google "places maintenance Firefox"
    After you install the add on, restart Firefox.go to "tools", then "add ons" and then click “extensions” tab ,then click' options" on the "places maintenance" entry. choose "ALL' or just "expire" and hit "execute", then wait until its done., restart Firefox. should be fine then and all my bookmarks, customizations ,settings, and history stays untouched!
    After i did this my Firefox did not freeze once for over 3 days straight. Might not work for everyone. I already read that Mozilla is aware of the problem and are working on a fix it in the full version of 8( the 8 beta did not fix the problem for me) . But they said this is a good temporary fix at least,( might be permanent)
    For me at least ,Firefox works fine in 7 now. perfect actually.And many people i saw on similar forums had similar problems.
    Enjoy. Hope this helped

  • My Game Center won't stop loading and won't let me sign in. What do I do?

    My Game Center won't stop loading and won't let me sign in. What do I do?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Ever since the most recent firefox update, every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it?

    Every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it? When I restart firefox, then the download continues and all is well until I try to download something new (which I do quite often).

    You may well find this article of interest and help in sorting out your problems: [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] The article does contain a link for previous versions, but also points out other troubleshooting advice that may be more appropriate in some instances.
    Another useful article is [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
    I hope you sort out your problems either by downgrading or finding the cause of the problem.

  • When I close Firefox, the windows closes normally, but firefox.exe still appears in Processes in Task Manager. I have to End Process to open Firefox again, and it goes to Restore Last Session page.

    When I close Firefox, the windows closes normally, but firefox.exe still appears in Processes in Task Manager. I have to End Process to open Firefox again, and it goes to Restore Last Session page.
    Quando eu fecho o Firefox, a janela fecha normalmente, mas o firefox.exe ainda aparece no Processos do Gerenciador de Tarefas. Eu tenho que Finalizar Tarefa pra abrir o Firefox de novo, e quando abre vai para a página de Restaurar Última Sessão.

    I have the same problem - every time I close firefox (using either the red x or by selecting file ---> exit) the program appears to close normally, but the firefox.exe *32 process continues to run. If I try to re-open firefox normally I get a message that the program is still running and I need to go into task manager and manually kill the process.
    I could also kill the process from the command prompt, but both of those methods are slow and annoying. This issue has only been occurring for the last 24 hours or so; to the best of my knowledge I haven't downloaded any new software or updated any plug-ins that would have caused a switch from firefox's normal awesomeness. Norton doesn't show any new viruses or other nastiness on my computer.
    I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium edition.

  • Mail in Firefox loads fast & fine. When I go to Contacts, the system is super slow and sometimes crashes. What do I do?

    Issue is simply, why does mail in Firefox work extremely well and then Contacts struggles and sometimes crashes. Thx.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". We might have an answer for you if we knew which web mail service provider this problem is with. Or, you could seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • Sometimes firefox won't open and I have to 'end process', and others it won't let me search in the searchbar, or open a new window. What's going on?

    Sometimes when I close firefox, it won't open again. I have to 'end process'. Other times it will not open a new window until I 'end process'. Sometimes it even won't let me use the search bar until I 'end process'.

    Do you have Restrictions turned on in Settings>General?

  • Firefox won't load at all, there is no "end processes" to end, it just won't load, no errors, just nothing.

    I used internet "exploder" several days in a row and now cannot load firefox. I have tried end processes and there is no firefox open, there are no errors, nothing supposedly wrong. I can't get it to laod. What do I do. I hate exploder.

    You can try to move the entire Firefox folder to a different location to make Firefox create a new file structure for the profile folder.
    * Vista/Windows 7: C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\
    * "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
    * Use %APPDATA% in the File name field
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"<br />
    To see the file extensions of all files uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types"

  • FFox 3.6.8. Repeated problem. I close it, then hours later try to relaunch it, and it says it's still running. So I have to End Process in Task Mgr. Also, plug-container keeps running and takes LOTS of memory. Ergo, 3.6.8 is a step backward.
