Firefox stops responding and some times dose not start when clicked on alot!

fire fox 9 stops responding for long periods and some times dose not load when clicked on. Also please note fire fox refuses to load the comments section on Yahoo.com under the news tab. The little wheel on the bottom of the page just spins and spins and never loads this area of the page.
I think i know why but wonder since i have had issues with fire fox in the past with the whole not responding and load issues.

Firefox which stops responding after some time is a BIG problem. You're not the only one. The problem seems to be with sites which require Java. The problems I seem to have spotted is this : You visit a web site which needs Java so Java asks Firefox for the amount of memory needed and this is lent to JAVA. However, when you leave that web site, Java is naughty in that it doesn't give back the memory borrowd. Firefox then has to consume a lot of memory to the point that the whole computer system grinds to a halt as you have run out of memory.
Search in the forums for high memory or RAM and you will see many threads. In fact, when you first install Firefox it will ask if you want to send anonymous data about the memory usage!!

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.

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

When I enter the website, Firefox stops responding and I have to end the process from the Task Manager. How do I solve this problem?

I am running Firefox 4.0 beta 7 on Windows XP Tablet Edition OS. When I enter this site using Firefox, the browser stops responding and I have to end the process using Task Manager. However, when I open it with other browsers such as IE8, I am able to view the site as per normal. This only happened when I updated my browser to Beta 7 and I did not have such problems in the previous betas.

There is [[Flash]] content on that page.
Do you have a problem with Flash on other websites?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

When I try to view my full att bill firefox stops responding and closes ALL pages. I have to open explorer to view it!

I am trying to view my ATT wireless bill, and when I ask to view the full version it opens another window and says receiving data from ATT. This doesn't ever change and when I hit any key on any other window in firefox then I am told that firefox has stopped responding and must close.

No release of Pages v5 can open AppleWorks, Pages '05, Pages '06, Pages '08, or RTF documents. Sometimes, it cannot open its own documents.
You will need to do one of the following:
Borrow your MacBook Pro back until you can export all your incompatible documents to MS Word (Which Pages v5 can open)
Install your iWork '08 DVD on your new Air, and then immediately apply the following Apple Updaters. Again Export to MS document formats.
Pages v3.0.3
Numbers v1.0.3
Keynote v4.0.4
Purchase iWork '09 DVD, and then immediately update with Apple iWork 9.3 updater.
Open the document(s) that Pages v5 won't permit
Save as Pages '09 v4.3 documents, or export as MS Word
Upload to Zamzar, and convert to MS Word (free for limited volume)
No sensitive documents
Email notification within 3 - 4 minutes with MS Word document download link
After you do either item 2 or 3, run Disk Utility and verify/repair application permissions on your boot drive. Open your converted documents in Pages v5.

Intermittently and without obvious pattern, Firefox stops responding and, after being closed via task manager, will not reopen unless I restart my computer.

Firefox 5 stops responding after I use it for awhile. Once I close it through the task manager, it refuses to reopen and I am forced to restart my computer to get Firefox to work again.
Note: This problem also occurred in Firefox 3 before I updated.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

After Updating to Firefox 4.0, many of my regularly visited websites now load very slowly or Firefox stops responding and does finish loading the website.

Typically, the splash page will lode partially but as soon as it starts to transfer data from ad related sites (ie doubleclick) , Firefox seems to stop working and when I when I try to close the site, I get a FireFox - Program is Not Responding message. I tell the computer to End Program and it takes 3-4 minutes for Firefox to close> When I then reopen Firefox, I get a message saying (This is Embarrasing_ we couldn't find some of your tabs. Firefox then offers me the option of restoring the previous session or starting a new one.

I have to agree, a once rapid firefox is now an absolute pain, I have scanned the computer with Malware bites and AVG nothing found..anybody got the fix?

On any page that I have to log in Firefox stops responding and has to shut down. I've tried resetting it and it still doesn't work.

I've been having this problem for a while now and I can't seem to fix it. Any time I log into any page, Firefox says not responding and I have to restart it. I have to run all of firefox in safe mode if I log out of my email or facebook. I've tried resetting FF and it still doesn't work.

''' "I have to run all of firefox in safe mode if I log out of my email or facebook. " '''
Please explain what you mean by '''all of firefox'''. You're either running in the Firefox SafeMode or you're not. There's no "all" or partial SafeMode.
Please see this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

Firefox stops responding and crashes

My tablet is an Asus tf300t with an Android 4.02 OS. I really like what Firefox has to offer, but it is not working for me. I am even writing this on Chrome because Firefox would stop responding constantly.

[[Will Firefox work on my mobile device?]] is for Firefox for android and the is a requirement that ARMv7 should be compatible. However I would recommend filing a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.com with the about:support information if you can open it.
They may also ask you to provide this info if you have a device that can be accessed by the sdk [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Remote_Debugging]

Firefox has stopped working and now it will not start up. If it does start up it freezes before opening any pages

Firefox suddenly stopped loading up. If it did start loading it would freeze as soon as the window opened and would not close down. I have tried uninstalling firefox and reloading it but the same problem occurs. I have also tried uninstalling, deleting all firefox files and reloading but the problem is the same. I noticed after reloading firefox would attempt to start the first time but would not even open after first attempt

Hi Shahram Dehghani,
Based on my understanding, there are serious problems with this Windows Server 2012 DC: couldn't login and some important services could not run.
Please run dcdiag in the command prompt to check the situation of the DC and then tell us the error or warning message.
In addition, please help to collect the following information for further troubleshooting:
What is the error message when you could not login to the DC?
Which MMC did you use to login to the DC?
What is the error message when the services could not be started manually?
The enviroment of the AD. Is there another DC in the domain? If so, does it has the same issue?
When does this issue start appearing?
Regards,
Lany Zhang

Since installing the latest update firefox stops responding and hangs during use.

The only way I can get it to work is to shut it down and restart the application. I can open IE and access the sites which don't respond so it is definately a firefox problem. All firefox tabs stop responding including downloads. This is occurring every 2nd or 3rd page I open. Help - it's driving me insane!

Intel Gigabit 1000 CT device some times does not start

Configuration:
========
875P Neo FIS2R, 300W PSU, Bios v1.6, Memory 2 x 256MB DDR 400 populated with Samsung chips in 1st and 3rd slots, 1 x WD400 40GB PATA, 1 x Seagate 160GB SATA (will install another one for RAID later), Sony CDRW, Dynamic overclocking turned OFF, No other overclocking applied, OS Win 2K Server (SP4), MSI FX5200 graphics card, On board audio enabled and installed drivers. So far no other problem other than the one described below
Issue:
===
Some times the Gigabit LAN device starts and other times it does not start. For the time being the RJ45 is not hooked up to anything (I.e. no external Hub or Switch). I have not established what could make it start or not, I do not change anything really, it seem random. Under device manager when it fails to start the error returned says that drivers could not be loaded because the device could not be started (error code 10).
This occured right from the begining, I have this motherbard for 3 days now. The machine has only the OS and the drivers loaded. no other software that could cause the problem. Only drivers from the MSI device driver CD have been loaded in the sequence stated.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Make that TWO boards with the same identical problem. The first one being the LAN and the second one being after clearing CMOS that the board won't POST or anything. Talked to MSI Tech Support on this one. All he could tell me is that it seemed really odd that the same problems happened twice in a row to me. He had me try all kinds of things, but he didn't get me any further than I got myself.

I don't think it has anything to do with it, but after I installed the sound it did not work after that reboot. That was also the first reboot after installing the LAN driver. One reboot I joined a domain, and after the reboot trying to log on to the domain it told me it wasn't there, and logging on to the local PC found that the LAN was not working. But I have other problems now. The system won't boot and the D-Bracket LED shows to be hanging on "Testing RTC (Real Time Clock)."

Firefox was working and now ir will not Start. When I click on the Icon nothing happans.

I have been using Firefoz for several months. It will not start now. I click on the icon and nothing happens. I'm running Windows 7.

Did you reinstall from backups, or www.Mozilla.org?

Very often Firefox stops responding and freezes for about 15 seconds and then resumes

Whether I am on a particular website, searching or playing games I keep getting the screen freezing and at the top bar it says "Not Responding" - this will clear on its own after about 10-15 seconds but then 5-10 minutes later it happens again!

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

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.
