Firefox stops loading pages and hoses internet connection for all other apps

Running Firefox 3.6.3; XP sp3; FSecure Client Security 9
After using Firefox for a while - sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours, it will stop loading pages. If I click on a link, nothing happens. The program still responds to key / mouse input, but refuses to load any new pages. Furthermore, it stops all internet connections from my machine, so that IE and Opera stop working. I think it also stops email, but I am not sure.
If I quit Firefox, the process is still running and I have to quit it manually from Task Manager. That solves the problem and internet connections are restored.
I have tried in safe mode, I have tried removing all extensions, I have tried deleting my profile and doing a clean re-install. It's driving me crazy. Any thoughts?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe 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.

  • Blog Loads Slow  and Intermittent Internet Connection for One Site Only

    Hi
    Yesterday we had a site where the blog lost it's feed, but was restore after a chat with support. Today the blog post are not coming up in the admin. I can see the list, but the not the post as the flywheel keeps spinning and spinning.
    When I go online, I can get to the blog fine, but when I click on the pagination links below or try to do a reload, the entire page gets lost or server can not be found.
    I have re-uploaded all the Layouts and Templates, but with no change.
    Anyone else having this issue, or is there something wrong with this site's blog?
    All other pages and features are accessible from the browser and admin, just not the blog.
    Thanks, Teejay

  • 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.

  • Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?

    Hello.
    Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?
    Never had this problem previously running a Macmini Server 2010 with the latest Mavericks Updates
    Tried reinstalling over my existing OS and seemed ok until I once again updated to the latest security and Safari updates
    Any ideas ?
    Using ethernet but wireless acts same,
    Cliff

    I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

  • How do i insert a splash screen or a loading screen and a application image for a phone app on Dream

    How do i insert a splash screen or a loading screen and a application image for a phone app on Dreamweaver 6, 5.5 had the mobile application setting that is seemingly no longer present? and i also heard you can use animanted backgrounds on the mobile application in dreamweaver 6 but figuring out how to set the splash screen and application image like it was in 5.5 would be nice. All i can get to pull up is the web application i developed i am trying to build into a phone app on google chrome, if i could officially designate it as a phone app where i can set each splash screen and app image to where it is recognized as a phone app that would be really nice.

    Duely noted, the server will still not connect, so i have left an inquery in the suggested forum.

Any ideas on how that problem can be mended if the solution is in my hands?? I haven't used PhoneGap Build recently, but I have seen several reports about problems connecting to the server. One suggestion that I've heard is that there has been unexpectedly high demand on the server since the launch of Edge Tools and Services as part of the Creative Cloud last month. As far as I know, the only thing you can do is wait, and try again later. You could also try posting in the PhoneGap Build forum: http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/products/nitobi_phonegap_build.

    my requirements :
    1) create 10 VM's
    2) first create a master virtual hard disk with win OS and use the same to create the 10 VM's.
    3) After creating the VM's change the HDD size.
                  -- if i have created master virtual disk with 500GB , and use the same for creating a virtual machine. can we change the HDD size to 1TB ?
    After creating the VM's ,i will change the system names and activate the windows accordingly.
    Will there be any implications ,if we can/will do like this.
    Thanks.

  • Printer klling internet connection for all wifi devices in office

    Hi!
    We bought office jet 8600 pro and connected it to the main office desktop computer through ethernet cable. This main computer is also connected to wifi router.
    All other laptops in office are using wifi router for internet and for printing.
    As soon as we installed new printer it started to conflict with alll wifi devices in office. Basically all laptops and phones loosing internet connection for 2-15 minutes. Usually when somebody from main computer is using printer.
    I read in another thread about similar problem and tried to fix this by checking firmware version of router and making a static ip for printer. I put printer to 192.168.1.250. It didn't work, internet keep going down. As experiment i made a static ip for my own laptop too -192.168.1.50. it didn't work too. Need help. Thank you!

    Sorry. Actually we have 2 routers. First one is working as a connector for ethernet and another one is a wifi router. Printer is connected to the router(connector). Wi-fi router is connected to router(connector) too. 
    If printer is connected to the router(connector) every 5-10 minutes wi-fi for all computers in the office become restricted (without internet access). 
    As soon as you are pulling out the ethernet cable from printer, everything works fine. 
    There are two computers that sharing printer by ethernet cable. Others are using wi-fi connection through  both routers to connect to the printer. Wi-fi printing is working good by the way.

  • Losing power/signal and no internet connectivity for WRT54G2-RM

    Just installed router and using Motorola SB5101 cable modem and Comcast.  Followed instructions  and the router has lost losing power and needing restarts a few times.  Have it installed by ethernet cable to my desktop, and using laptop (XP Pro Thinkpad P42).  Cannot get internet connectivity and also loses wireless signal connection.  I know there are a number of similar posted issues, and I am new to this forum.  Any ideas?

    Download and upgrade your router's firmware, reset and then re-configure it...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
    If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link

  • Firefox slow and unresponsive with facebook and zynga and then locks up for all other tabs open

    I finally had to uninstall the beta 4 version as I couldn't take the issues any longer. The browser would become slow and then totally unresponsive mostly when using facebook and zynga. however, all tabs would become slow and unresponsive and would have to be rebooted. It wouldn't be 5 minutes and it would have to be done again. Even without facebook/zynga loaded in a tab, the entire browser is unbelievably slow. I am running mac os x 10.5.8.
    I went back to the old version until I hear back as I just don't have time to sit and wait and wait and wait only to have to reboot the program constantly.

    I found a "work around". I installed Incredible Bookmarks 0.7.3. That allows me to add an additional Bookmarks Toolbar without causing the bouncing problem.
    Putting bookmarks in the IB bar was a little tricky. It allows customization, but only to the extent of choosing bookmarks by topic or by a subdirectory of the Bookmarks Menu. What I actually put on the toolbar are such subdirectories (or folders), so I normally could only put one at a time. (This problem doesn't exist with the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar, which allows you to copy subfolders, not just individual bookmarks).
    I solved the problem by moving the additional folders I wanted to put in the IB Toolbar into a folder I (cleverly) called "IB Toolbar", then selected that for the actual Toolbar. The result: a row of folders, exactly what I wanted. (Actually, it's a second row of folders, since I still have the original Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar.)
    I'd still prefer MultiRow, but that doesn't appear to be working with Firefox 3.6.18 and higher, so until I upgrade to Firefox 5 (and see if the Plus version will work) this will have to do.

  • Why my Safari is always stop loading page and I need to refresh the Tab to reload?...

    I am experiencing serious problem in my Safari Browser.Please help me to solve my problem...I already did to clear my cache and browsing history but still slow and stop responding...

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.
