Firefox will not shut down and I have to use the force quit option on my MAC to get it back. What can I do?

At almost every shutdown of Firefox it fails to completely shutdown and when I go to start it up again I must force quit to get it to completely shutdown.
The code says Firefox (not responding)

  • I-phone 4 froze after an update, will not shut down and sends all calls to voicemail. Apple logo is the only screen that I get, is there anything I can do?

    Unplug it and let unit go dead. Then hold your Home button down and plug the USB power cord back in. iTunes should see it and then restore.

  • Question when I log into Firefox, the screen scrolls down and I have to use the side-bar to go back up to type my query into the 'search' window. How can I stop that and get Firefox to start with the 'search' window accessible? With thanks, Peter

  • After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

    after i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it to play the next song. Or put it in the UP NEXT.

    First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
    If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
    Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

  • Macbook Pro will not shut down AND other issues...

    Macbook Pro will not shut down. Not using the POWER button, not using control/alt/command/esc, not using force quit, and obviously not by selecting Sleep or Shut down from the Apple menu.
    Force quit will not even pop up when selected.
    Top row keys do not work either, have gone into settings and switched them to F keys and back again, no luck.
    iPhoto will not import photos and will not shut down, gives me a message stating it is importing photos (nothing is connected to computer though). Baffling.
    HELP! Computer is only a month old
    Thank you everyone xx

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • HT4528 My iPhone 4s will not shut down and wont play sound on you tube

    My iPhone 4s is experiencing two issues.
    1.  it will not shut down, restarts on its own after a few seconds,
    2. and it loses sound on videos and apps intermittently - even when sound on apps comes back, there is no sound on any you tube videos
    I have tried hard reset, software upgrade, and various setting changes I read about in a thread online for the sounds issue, nothing has worked.

    We tried the home sleep button several times with the same, that is, no result.
    The thing with the WiFi apparently is not that uncommon a problem as the Apple web site mentionen the method I described to remedy the problem.  Again, it did not fix the issue.
    Thanks for the reply but ee still are at sea.

  • Macbook pro will not shut down if I have opened iTunes 10.4

    I have an Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro running Mac OS X Lion.  Unfortunately if I've used iTunes at all my laptop will only shut down if I hold the power button for 10 seconds.  This occurs after every application including iTunes has been shut down.  If I have not opened iTunes during a session then the computers shuts down normally.  Can I do anything about this, is it serious, and has anyone else encountered the same problem?  Thanks for any help givien.

    I'm not entirely sure if mine does this after I only run itunes, but after normal use of my browser and email, my coumputer only shuts down if I hold the button.  I'm not quite sure what's going on, but I'll update you if I find a solution.

  • 2007 A1226 Macbook Pro: Fans out of control, will not shut down, and temp sensors have gone offline.

    So my MBP, just an hour or so ago, failed to shut down.  I click Apple->Shut down, but the computer instead restarts and while loading OS X, gives me an error that says "You restarted your computer because of an error."  The fans are maxed out right now, there is -no- process causing thisl  Also, I use iStatMenus to monitor my temperatures, and all of the CPU sensors have gone offline, iStat is only reporting temps for the hard drive and battery.
    iStat also seems to have lost the ability to control my fan speeds.  Uninstalling and reinstalling iStat did nothing.  Resetting PRAM and the SMC have done nothing either.  Any ideas?

  • Macbook will not shut down (bought new in June)

    I saw some other threads on this. Mine will not shut down and I have the latest software updates on Leopard, bought my 13 in. Macbook in June. I have run it a lot, so that it gets warm but seemed to work fine until I try to shut down. I'm really worried about this because I hate to have to force it to shut down by turning it off. I do not have that third party program installed that someone said he'd downloaded and had to remove to get it to work. I hope I don't have to uninstall what little I have installed, such as Intego firewall/antvirus/personal backup, Camino, Sunbird, Flip4Mac, Washing Machine, and Io programs by Time Cycles. I don't run any of those other programs much, mostly just Safari and just now an HP printer driver. I wonder if doing a lot of scanning using the HP printer driver is what caused the problem. I just downloaded the HP printer driver right before this happened, I think. But I really need that to work.
    My computer starts to hang when I shut it down and says it can't log out until I shut down something else, which is generally a program that is not even running. I wish this would stop; I'm not sure what to do about it or whether turning the computer off will hurt it. I don't know if I'm supposed to "zap PRAM" or something but I already did that for a different reason a few days ago and don't want to do that a lot.

    Thanks for your message. I actually just logged in to report that I solved the issue by going to Disk Utility / First Aid / verify permissions/ repair permissions.
    The problem was that the HP Officejet 7300 Series printer driver I had recently installed had all sorts of permissions wrong and they are now repaired. And the Macbook has now shut down properly twice in a row. I wonder if I should report that to HP?
    ** I wonder what damage if any I did by shutting off the computer using the power button two or three times in the past 24 hours when I needed to shut the computer down prior to repairing the permissions problem?*
    And I did see the Activity Monitor in the Utilities section on my own just prior to trying Disk Utility / first aid / repair permissions (the disk it self didn't need repair, supposedly). I don't really think activity monitor was going to help in this instance because I did shut down all the programs, but I'll be testing that utility in the future.
    I bet now would be a good time to hurry up and get Disk Warrior.

    My mail is stuck, and the computer will not shut down and the Mail is not responding. What should i do?

    Hi Clinton,
    This happens to all the time and this is what I normally do. (Press and hold the pwer button until the computer shuts down) but, this doesn't seem to answer the real issue. Its just like you cut of the power to shut it down.
