Flash games freeze for some seconds every some minutes
I just had a stupid moment and upgraded from Firefox 22 to 30 yesterday. I know every version adds problems and removes features, but I wanted check what is the current status.
Now, Firefox 30 freezes flash games for some seconds every some minutes. Of course, with the 22 this never happened.
The computer is identical, only Firefox is changed.
Considering the level of the answers here, I in advance say:
* no there are no viruses or malwares - I said only Firefox is changed
* yes I cleared cache cookies and other stuff people say when they do not know what else to say
* yes flash is the same version
* I have no theme and the addons are the same of the old version
* I could care less about safe mode. The old version never saw safe mode and it worked fine
Maybe there is some stupid about config setting for which Firefox want an useless disk access? something new in the version 30 I mean.
Maybe version 30 is become so inefficient that when it updates the cache it freezes totally?
I have last faint hope for some real practical suggestion, for which I thank in advance.
With FF 22 I could play flash games for hours without problems, with v 30 I need to close it every hour otherwise it takes so much RAM (up to 2 GB) it totally hangs. But hey they removed the download window, they say "use an addon". When the RAM is totally out, they say "you have too many addons". Wonder why. Next time we will need an addon for supporting images?
Hi zzzz1,
This is a really good question. It has been a while since I have tried version 22, but you have mentioned most of the recommended troubleshooting steps including: malware, clearing cache(offline), updating flash, safe mode and no new add ons.
I wonder if the new version has different system requirements.
[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/22.0/system-requirements/ version 22][https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/30.0/system-requirements/ version 30]- No.
There are add ons that optimize cache size and block flash content, as well as Ad block plus which blocks some scripts running in the browser. These could minimize the 2GB of Ram.
In all practicality, have you tried reinstalling Flash or clearing the actual flash cache. This may mess with online game storage though, so maybe not.

System freezes for several seconds every minute or so?
Recently, within the past week, my OS has began freezing for several seconds every 40 seconds or so. I had not downloaded any applications around the time this began. The last app I downloaded was iMovie 6 (for the editing features), I downloaded this several days after this problem began. The last app I downloaded BEFORE the problem began was UnRarX, which I downloaded back in April. I have no idea how to check my specs, and computer info, please tell me how to get this and I will tell you.
Call AppleCare. Whenever you buy a new Mac, discs are always supplied with them. Usually they come in a white envelope that is square with the user manual in the box. If you bought it from a non-Apple source, you should call them and ask them to send you the disc. It isn't their's to keep, and they can call AppleCare to order them. And no, it isn't in the Utilities folder. It is a physical optical disc that looks like a music CD, but says MacBook Pro on it.

My ipad 3 Bluetooth stops working for several seconds every few minutes
My ipad Bluetooth stops working for a few seconds every few minutes...very annoying. Any solutions?
firefox has become a somewhat of a pig. it is actually funny and i know this problem will soon be cured but.... here was this "anti-IE" thing that came out a while ago saying "we're the fastest browser in the world" and indeed they were. as a 13 year microsoft employee/veteran i was reluctant to try it, but try it i did. that was years ago. now all of a sudden here i am and for the past several months at least, firefox has been pausing every few seconds or so. it is totally annoying and has me researching the cause. i'm a techie/quite computer literate and know how to tweak and configure to get every last ounce of speed out of my system. let me tell you... firefox is no longer the fastest browser on the planet.... they have issues. why? they have a lot of code and maintaining a complex piece of software (they are finding) is not easy. BUT, the problem lies within firefox's code base... i've used the latest version of IE, safari and chrome and neither is suffering from the pausing problem.
how can you repro this problem? go to any webform (gmail, this forum, et al) and start typing... there will be an annoying pause every few seconds. while pausing, firefox pages out to disk, despite there being TONS of physical memory available... AND i have set my system to NO pagefile, yet firefox is paging...
or, go to a long webpage (e.g. ebay and set the search results to 200. then just use your cursor to scroll down the page) and you'll see the same problem.
hurry firefox... fix this annoying problem. i've been a happy and loyal FF user for at least 5 years -
Playing movies: Video fades to black for a second every 5 minutes
I have a problem with front-row: with some avi movies, video fades to black and back every ~5 minutes; audio is played normally without any interruption. I have perian 1.1 installed and the movie has no subtitle. 5 minutes is exactly the display sleep time: is that a coincidence or something is wrong with front-row disabling sleep timer ?
thanks
cheersI have this same exact problem. I have a newer Intel Mac Mini 2.2gh with dvi/hdmi out to external hdtv. At exactly 5 minutes on some .avi or .mkv movies, I love video but still get audio. I always thought it was just me except that it drove me so crazy today that I decided to look for a solution.
The video files themselves play fine in quicktime and/or VLC. It just ***** that Front Row stops playing them. It even happens when I fast forward.
As a side or possibly related note, has anyone else experienced stuttering in Front Row on large files? More importantly, does someone have a solution to the missing video in Front Row. -

Okular freezes for some pdf files
My problem is that Okular freezes for some pdf files, the problem is NOT related to how big files are, or how many pics/raster in them. I have many pdfs that exceeds 90 MB and run smoothly. Moreover, I have also many large djvu files that run smoothly. Evince runs all files smoothly as well. I have the latest stable okular with the latest stable poppler versions as of today.
Okular freezes in a somewhat weird way, if I go down from page x to x+1 in contiuous mode, It freezes when I reach the gray bar that spearates the 2 pages, when I want to go back to page x from page x+1, which it is supposed to be cached and should load smoothly, Okular also freezes at the same place.
My problem happens with small books having almost all text, and also happens with scanned books. The weird thing is that some other scanned books and some other all-text pdfs, e.g. academic papers, runs smoothly.Sounds like a bug. Try to report it to the bug tracker and be sure to add a file that shows the problem so that the devs can backtrace it.

New Laptop Freezes for some time
Hello , I bought a new Laptop recently , updated drivers etc using SoftPaq , but noticed that laptop was freezing for few seconds with the HDD light full ON . so it kept getting worst with time . the first time it happened while i was playing a game (Assasions Creed iV) since that it got so worst that laptop started crashing , i did a diagnostic test from BIOS , it ddint pass the LONG DST test . so i went to the shop i got it from and they said that the HDD is damaged and as 3 months has passed since the purchase you cant replace the HDD , so i bought a new 1 TB HDD..
i am skeptical now , i did the Detail HDD test , it passed both the test BUT I STILL FACE THE PARTIAL FREEZE , like while installing any program or opening firefox , or at random times / programs it would freeze completly , the mouse would move but nothing else , and the HDD light will be full on with white colour .
I would like to know if its a Hardware issue or driver ISSUE . how do i point it out ?
let me know which all info is required I will share in detail
Thanks in advance

During gameplay on Facebook it falls under Adobe Flash. If I "END" the plugin-container.exe the game crashes and have to refersh the page, in which case the plugin starts all over again. There seems to be no way to play without this process running. My typing is also freezing for a second before it catches up to my fingers. This has been happening for about two weeks. I never had this problem playing these games before.
My OS is Windows Vista and I'm running Firefox version 3.6.13Update: Firefoxe's best browser was version ~2.2.21!
Ever since then, the user experience has been less and less. Slower browser, feats most users don't use (like skins)... really.. I'm a bit disappointed at the (negative) progress of late. -
I have a macbook pro. The wireless is always conected but it keeps stopping uring browsing for some minutes. However i am using teh same wireless on my iphone and it wok normaly without any stop or cut. Any help please?
I'm having the same issue. Different programs though, it's mostly browsers and adobe products. I thought maybe it was heat related but it's not. It seems that as soon as Lion was about to be released, the updates were updating in preparation for Lion. I delayed updating the software updates because Adobe (my career) isn't totally compatible with Lion yet. Before I even started getting update notifications, though, within the recent week, it's freezing up constantly. I don't know what to do. It seems to be happening with my brower choice, I'm using Firefox and Chrome as my main browsers. I keep alot of sessions open but that shouldn't cause (and has never caused) this constant freezing issue. I did install some extensions in Chrome and Firefox, maybe that's the problem... The issues began after those were installed though, 3 weeks to a month later... Maybe the software updates (that I installed thinking it would correct the freezing issue), maybe they are preventing other browsers ? Maybe Apple is getting rid of Chrome and Firefox ? I'm not having issues with Safari (yet) though I just opened it for the first time in 2 months... only because the macbook is freezing (and it's also rebooting while asleep, closing all of my projects and not saving them)...
My Macbook Pro is the same year and the HDD is a year new. The manufacture recall had the video whatever replaced a few months ago.
I've never had these kinds of problems with an Apple computer. I'm using Snow Leopard and I'm very attached to this laptop ! It's configured perfectly.
Why oh why does it freeze constantly within the recent 1-2 weeks ?
Someone please help us ! -
Gaming apps freezes for few seconds , then resumes by itself or crashes sometimes ,after upgrading to iOS 8.3 on iphone 6
Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
3. Do a soft and hard reset.
4. Reset network settings.
5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :) -
While on ichat, video will freeze for 5 seconds and come back, then continues to freeze for 5 seconds intermittently during the video chat. Happens whenever I am on iChat, regardless of who I am chatting with. Party on the other end does not see any indication that this is happening.
Hi,
You don't need iChat.
It should not be on there at all.
If the iCon in the DOCK looks like this then it is linked to iChat 4.
You should be able to Right/Control click that and get it to "Show in Finder"

Apple TV 2 picture goes black for a second every now and again
Apple TV 2 picture goes black for no aparent reason, just for a second every now and again, no Jailbreak, software is up to date.
Happens witth the iOS 6 and the one before, not shure about previous iOS versions.
It´s not the Cable, Wifi or Lan.Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore) -
APPHANGB1 when browsing the web, or just keeping it open. Happens once in a 5 minutes, and it freezes for 30 seconds. I found many people who have this problem too ....
Odds are only someone that develops apps for iOS would have access to whatever this is and, even then, this information may still not be available.
I would do a backup of your phone & then erase it and restore from the backup to see if the odd behavior goes away. If so, something went funny with your update the first time around. If not, there's something in your backup that's making the phone throw a fit.
I resolved my battery issues (more or less) by disabling the "set date/time automatically" setting. I haven't re-enabled it yet but my battery life has been much better with it off.
