Firefox wont load/browse unless keyboard/mouse is active

Firefox last automatically updated for me the other day.
Since then when I open firefox, I can click on the desktop icon or the quick launch, in either case it seems like firefox never opens unless I click with my mouse or hit a key(s) on the keyboard, then it suddenly appears.
Firefox has a similar issue when browsing now, I can type in an address or click a link. But it sits their idle with the progress bar about half full like it has no connectivity, but the moment you move the mouse or push something on the keyboard, the web page starts loading properly.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix this? Will attempt to reinstall shortly and see if that resolves the issue.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Last time firefox updated a day or two ago

Hello....
(RE: Windows XP SP3, Firefox update 3.6.6)
This has gotten borderline ridiculous....no, wait.....it is absolutely bloody ridiculous.
A couple of days ago the Firefox "plugin-container.exe started eating a massive amount of CPU, somewhere in the range of 95%.
I was related to the Adobe Flash and Shockwave Flash Plug in....when disabled it would crash flash based videos while watching and then refuse to reload them until the plugin was enabled. They was a ton of feedback on the CPU difficulties as related to the plugin-container.exe and its conflict with flash.
Then last night I got back and once I opened up Firefox I was immediately prompted to load the Firefox Update 3.6.6 which I did. Now I have a new problem........
When I am watching or try to load up flash based videos the videos will not play unless either my mouse or keyboard is active, by that I mean I will press play for the video and it seems to load up but will not play or run sound unless I sit there making little circles with my mouse...
Now I don't need some door knob telling me I have an internal "conflict" and to uninstall and reinstall a dozen or so programs.....this is simply a continuation of the original "plugin container.exe" crash bug and now it is in the guise of 3.6.6
This needs to be looked at quickly...
C'mon guys...get it together!!!!!!!

Hi, my firefox wont load websites but other browsers like internet explorer , chrome can . This problem occurs when i use my company's router ?

my company have two internet connection ; 1 is dsl connection , firefox working fine on it ; 2 is my company's own cisco 2911 cisco router with internet connection , firefox wont loading pages except just the homepage of google.com and that's it , and the problem is that whole company is using company's internet connection which means that firefox is death for all of us.
Reseting firefox works but just for one day and after that it stuck again. also tried other solutions like malware removal , re installing firefox etc but not worked
Thanks for any kind of solution

thanks alot for your quick reply fredmcd
i have searched alot on the internet and got the solution , it was a thread known as "l.yimg.com". every time i open a website ,it stucks in "transferring data from l.yimg.com" , so what i did is;
1) End the process "random.exe" from task manager
2) Delete all the history and cookies of the infected browser.
3) Opened Registry Editor and delete these malicious entries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ L.yimg.com
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\L.yimg.com \DisplayName L.yimg.com
HKEY_USER\.default\environment\temp
HKEY_USER\s-1-5-18\environment\temp
HKEY_USER\ s-1-5-19\environment\temp and so on
4) Search those malicious files on your hard disk and completely delete all of its components.
%AllUsersProfile%\{random}
%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\.dll
it really worked for me , if anyone have the same problem then try it , hopefully it will work for you too.

Firefox wont load gamesite past 70 percent but internet explorer is ok. whats wrong?

firefox wont load forge of empires gamesite past 70% but internet explorer does but my progress is lost. I want to use firefox. what can I do?

You can also check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Firefox wont load but other browsers will

from the start page firefox wont load websites-my other browsers work just fine

hi, such issues are often caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions. please remove all program rules for firefox from your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

Firefox wont load any flash player or let me download anything

Firefox wont load any flash player videos and when it does it only buffers so far. I can't download anything like anti-mal/spyware to check if its anything like that.

Try to boot the computer in Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.
Do you have access to another computer to download the anti-mal/spyware programs and put them on a USB stick with the latest updates or their databases?
You can also try to download them via sites like FileHippo.

Firefox wont load at all!

I open firefox and it never loads any websites. The screen and website bar stay blank. This has never happened before. I turned my computer off last night, but I honestly don't see how that could do anything. Please help!

Check if another browser can load websites and see:

Firefox wont load any websites

firefox worked fine last night, but this morning it wont load at all.

There has just been an update to Firefox, make sure that your Firewall is not blocking the new version of Firefox. For more details on that and other possible causes see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]

Firefox wont load .....7.0

I have downloaded Firefox for 7.0 ....it use to work about 6 months ago then quit......I have tried to reload multiple time and it still wont load....no err msgs

Do you mean Firefox 7.0 the version released in September of 2011? Unfortunately, it's not possible for forum volunteers to support such old versions of Firefox.
Or do you mean the current version of Firefox for Windows 7? Could you describe the problem in more detail: you double-click the Firefox shortcut and just nothing happens?
In that case, could you try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key (on Windows) or option key (on Mac) while clicking the Firefox icon.
A a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any improvement?

Firefox wont load background image on some sites but internet explore will load the background

i downloaded firefox awhile ago worked perfectly fine then all a sudden it wont load facebook background images the homepage of facebook loads background image but when i log in it wont load background image but when i try internet explorer it loads the background images fine i checked every setting redownloaded everyhing nothing fix's it tho

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains (e,g, sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net).
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

Firefox wont load pages completely after removing firefox cache

Every Time i remove my firefox cache you tube and yahoo and other pages wont load completely or will load with errors. Anyone know why this is happening?

Sometimes you only disable the user interface of security software, but the firewall services are still running in the background.
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.

Firefox wont load

displays missing profile or inaccessable,i have spent hours trying to correct this without success, any help greatly appreciated,thanks Terry

Apparently you or something else has done something like moved the profile or changed its permissions. The initial solution is to make Firefox use a new profiles. The easiest method is probably to use the profile manager. That involves running Firefox using the command
* ''firefox.exe -P'' <br /> Windows keyboard shortcut WindowsKey + R should get the ''Run'' option you use to enter that.
* See [[How to run Firefox when your profile is missing or inaccessible]]
** [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
Figuring out what happened to your existing profile is the next step, any ideas what happened to it, did you do or notice something immediately before this problem occurred ?
Note the files may be hidden but if you search for the file ''places.sqlite'' (the History & Bookmarks database) you should be able to locate any existing profiles.

Firefox wont load websites

Hi, My firefox browser has stopped working and I dont know why. I went to a strange foriegn website at the descresion of an ebay seller to download a driver for a controller I had bought. Shortly after that I saw a message from my Norton Security that gmpopem264.dll was safe which I thought was strange. So I located that file and deleted it. Later I found out that I needed it for Firefox to work. And at that point my browser stopped working. I can open Firefox but it wont let me go to any websites. It just continually loads and doesn't even display an error message. then if I close out of the browser I can't reopen and get the message "Firefox is already open in another instance" with an option to close firefox, but when I push the button it doesn't close and I can't open firefox again unless I restart my computer. I see that it is still running in task manager but when I try to end the process nothing happens.
Fixes I have tried include:
clearing my cache
and also I refreshed firefox by holding down the SHIFT key and opening the browser setting it back to the default settings but the issue persists.
Not sure how I can fix this, any help is appreciated. Thanks

Norton said the file was safe, and you deleted it ? ! ?
What would you have done if Norton said the file was bad?
Did you find out what that file was for?
You should not delete any program file unless you want to remove
it's whole setup. I am sorry if it looks like I am talking down to you,
but doing such things could end up with the computer making a
trip to a repair site. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

do not forget to remove profiles of firefox.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
In such cases, IF the profile is the problem, have the user create a new
profile. Once the issue is gone, the old profile can be rebuilt in the new.
