Firefox will hang on a website then everything else will no longer load and forces me to close and open firefox to get it to work.
As the question says I am having several issues with Firefox lately. I've tried disabling every addon, disabling JavaScript, running it in safe mode - no addons. Nothing seems to work.
I'll be on pandora listening to music, I open a new tab and go to a site like facebook. If that page does not load or hangs, my browser will no longer allow me to go to any other site until I close and open the browser. (Of course closing the tab that caused the issue). This happens about 10+ times every day, and I've supported firefox for years but this issue just keeps getting worse. It started when I upgraded to FireFox 6.
Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

Itunes will no longer load on my computer. I tried reloading it, but that did not work either
Itunes will not longer load, how do I troubleshoot the issue?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

it does this after i get a message that firefox is downloading a upgrade after that happens firefox tells me i need to download the newest version of adobe
If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data. -
Firefox 3.6.20 will no longer load and I cannot access email or anything else!
It happened yesterday after I responded "block" to a McAfee popup that said some unknown site was trying to access the computer. (Right now I'm using the IE browser that came with this computer to try to get your help.)
''moderator deleted the phone number that was in the title of this thread. We don't do telephone support, and posting that in a public forum isn't a good idea.''See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
Try to 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 and the updater process. -
Game Center will no longer load and can't sign out
So I have iOs 7 on my iPad 2. I have found I have had this problem since I had downloaded Angry Birds Epic. Game Center started acting weird, logging out randomly and no being able to login in. Now I can not log out of it in the settings menu, every time I try and click off of it and go back I am miraculously signed back in. If I open game center the initial screen is fine but if I click on games it just goes white and sits there thinking. I have tried everything I have seen about restarting etc. I think the only thing I have not done is restore the system. I have no issues with my iPhone 5.
Any thoughts? Is it corrupted now so I will have to restore my iPad?manateeman wrote:

Does that include doing this? Close the Game Center app completely and reset the iPad.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
I uninstalled Norton 360 under windows xp and now I'm getting this problem that firefox will no longer load pages. IE and Outlook still work and I can access the internet with them, I can ping any website I like successfully but Firefox won't load any pages ... N

Sure enough that's not enough to release Norton's tentacles in your system, there's an uninstall tool on their website (a whole set of them actually) that managed to carve it out completely and after a restart everything was back to normal. My machines will definitely be Norton-free from now on ... N

When I try to load videos, there is a good chance the video will randomly stop loading, and nothing is accessible until I turn off the modem. Restarting my computer, clearing my browser cache, cookies, etc. None of that works. I've had "slightly" better luck immediately pausing a video and letting it buffer entirely, but that still doesn't work all the time. Surfing has just become a gamble until I just get frustrated.
Is anyone here to help?

Website images will sometimes load and other times I get the blue square?
Does anyone know how to resolve the following:
frequently visited websites will load images and then while searching the website (i.e. vrbo.com) the images will no longer appear and I'll see the blue square and "?". Why does this happen and how can I change this?HI,
If you are using Safari, from the menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Appearance tab.
Select the box next to: Display images when the page opens
You may need to Quit Safari then restart in order for the changes to take effect.

I changed my apple id on the apple help websites then I went to buy an app and the id didn't change and when I put my password wasn't accepted what do I do next so that I can buy an app?
Welcome to the Apple community Jalm14ts
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Since updating my iphone 4S to ios 7.1 my phone will no longer ring and apps do not have sound. I have made sure the do not disturb is not turned on and have also gone into Accessibility and made sure sound is not off there. I have done a reboot and also a reset of the settings. When I set my ring tone, the sample tone plays, however, the phone only vibrates when I get a call. The apps also do not have any sound. Everything was working fine until the update.
I am positive the half moon isn't there. That one caught me once before so now I am careful to check.
Thanks for the idea tho! -
Installed the iTunes 10 update on my computer (Windows 7). iTunes will no longer launch and I get no error msg. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling entire app but no help. What's the fix??
Hi sahgin,
The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply. -
Default MAPS application crashes and will no longer load or operate
For some reason about two weeks ago, my maps application will try to load and then crash on me. I cannot get it to work no matter what I do. I even did a restore on my iphone 3G and it didn't help. In fact the restore just made a mess of all my apps.
I cannot get the default google maps application to load and not crash. Help!Have you tried resetting your iPhone?
