Having more then one tab open causing firefox to hang

When I have facebook,TWIT live video running and have more tabs open and switch from TWIT live video to Facebook or another tab it start to hang on me and I can't get to any tabs. I have to go to Windows Task Manager and it say not responding and have to end Firefox 4.0. Beta 6.

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.

  • Having more than four tabs open causes Firefox to become non-responsive, lagging for sometimes up to 5 minutes and can't close it without task manager.

    If I try to open a fifth tab, or try to pin a tab Firefox mutes, or whites out and the mouse freezes. When this happens the title bar states that it is, "unresponsive." I either have to wait until it starts moving again to restart it because I have no close button, and this takes up to 5 minutes and sometimes even more, or I have to crash it using the task manager (ctrl + alt + del) when it takes longer. Also, any time I try to pin a tab it does the same thing with a single pinned tab. If I try to open firefox after a crash, it immediately becomes unresponsive for an even longer time.

  • Youtube fullscreen video playback does not respond with more then one tab open.

    Right, so i've got a dual monitor set-up, and I've found that if I have two or more tabs with youtube videos paused, and I start one in full screen, then click my second monitor, the flash plugin essentially crashes. the video still plays apparently, or at least the sound does, but I cannot click anything, trying to change tabs or do anything on my secondary monitor does nothing other then grey it out saying that it's not responding. Same with my primary monitor if I try to alt+tab out of the flash player fullscreen thing. I have found that ending the flash player process imediately gives me control back, since it's forcing the fullscreen to shut down, but if i do not do this, then I have no access to my browser for several minutes.
    Does anyone know what i need to do to fix this? I've trying turning off hardware acceleration and the various commonly suggested fixes, and they don't do shit. So please, help me figure this out. if you need more information, I can provide it.

    I should mention that I have this problem in safe-mode as well. all addons are dissables, and I still have this problem. I've already tried re-installing adobe flash, and still nothing changes.

  • When I have more than one tab open, if I click on a picture to view, when the window opens to view the photo, firefox crashes. I also notice while looking at a web page, the pinned tabs to the left of the bar are constantly reloading for some reason.

    When I have more than one tab open, if I click on a picture to view/enlarge, say eBay, and I click on the items photo to enlarge it, when the window opens to view the photo, Firefox crashes. I also notice while looking at a web page, the pinned tabs to the left of the bar are constantly reloading for some reason, The green circle starts going round and round for no reason even though the tab is not being viewed. Both problems seem to have started after the last software update.

  • With more than one tab open in private browsing, how do I leave private browsing all at once?

    Before the latest Firefox update I was able to close a private browsing session by selecting the STOP menu item and checking the appropriate selection in a pop up dialogue box. Now, when I have more than one tab open in private browsing, I can't end the session by selecting STOP. The dialogue box opens and offers a START option instead of a STOP option. The same is true using CONTROL+SHIFT+P. To work around the situation I need to close all but one tab and then stop the session. I want to go back to the way it was before the update and opt out of a private session entirely, regardless of how many windows or table are open, with the former two-step process.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Bug - If more then one tab is open and you try to swap tabs or close a tab Firefox closes completely sometimes. This happens on a desktop and 2 laptops I own.

    The first time I reported this was Jul 12. The link back did not work. Since Jul 12 I have been on my daughters desktop, my girlfriends desktop, my laptop and desktop and they will all do the same thing periodically. When more than one tab is open and you try to swap or close a tab Firefox closes completely.
    When I re-open Firefox I never get an error message to report back to Firefox support. Most of the time I get the "This is embarrassing" message and the restore tabs works.
    I should have been reported by other people. Please respond, I will check my email a few times a day, Thank you

    (previous message was https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/849469
    you are supposed to update that message for more help, likely no one has an answer).
    If it were the last tab not multiple tabs then it would have been:
    If you only had one tab open and id not always show the tab strip, that you would close the tab bar.
    Tools > Options > Tabs > [x] Always show the tab bar
    Make sure you have that option on, it is easy to restore a tab if you still have the tab bar you or something closes two tabs as you say. To restore last tab use Ctrl+Shift+T , if two tabs restore that tab as well with same shortcut. Rather than fishing around for it in the History menu as a closed tab, closed window, or a previous session.
    Another possibility is that if there is one extension that mixed up the options like "Close Tab by Double Click" there are probably other extensions that did that as well. If you had that you might have to use the much larger "Tab Clicking Options" and turn off everything but closing a tab on double-click.

  • Firefox locks up regularly since ver 3.5, especially with more that one tab open.

    firefox locks up regularly since ver 3.5, especially with more that ona tab open. navigating thru the www.nokia.be website is a good example, especially when looking for different models and comparing them. firefox needs to be closed then via windows tasks/ close application.
    I tried to reinstal firefox 4.0.1, without any add-ons but theproblem remains, it even seems worse!
    in Windows explorer this problem never happens!!

  • With more than one window open in firefox 4 I starts to drain my memory

    With mozilla 4 I have more than one window open and my memory which has 2 gigs in it starts to drain and then everything freezes.

    Which Windows platform shouldn't make much difference. The screenshot may look as coming from an older Windows version, but the basics should be the same.
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • OVI and syncing and having more then one phone

    I recently just upgraded my wife and my phones to Nokia 6350's, after backing up all my contacts and everything in Nokia's PC suite from the old phones and after activating the phones and restoring the back up to the new phones I saw there was an update suggestion to the PC suite which was OVI.
    I thought great maybe more function Etc..
    After downloading and finally figuring out how to put my phone number in in international format, I get it registered logging into my wife's phone first, from inside the app, I added my phone to it, but it didn't as me for the phone number or anything, but allowed me to change from one phone to the other, well when I hit the sync button for my phone it connected to my phone then added all my contacts to the existing contacts of my wife's, what I didn't relies at first it also put all my wife's contacts into my phone book on my phone, this is a major bug that shouldn't be allowed, Why would I want my wife's contacts in my phone???
    Well lucky for me since I had just backed up all my contacts separately,
    I closed out OVI and started PC Suite up, I wiped out my whole contacts and reloaded them from back up,
    What I can't figure out is why would they design their program like this that doesn't seen to allow you to manage multiple phones from the same program,
    Nokia's PC suite does this part great, as it keeps each phone totally separately.
    The other thing I don't care for is that OVI seems to depend on having an internet connection, which there are people out there that would like to manage their phones without having to have this, PC suite can be used without a internet connection.
    Does anyone have any idea on how to separately manage more then one phone in OVI?

    Set up a user account in Windows for your wife on the same computer and when syncing her phone set up and run Ovi Suite from that account.
    It is easy and once one gets used to it it gives great flexibility.
    This is not just a Nokia thing but quite a normal way of managing multiple devices for multiple users in Windows applications (e.g. we use an application that remote controls multiple telecommunications devices for multiple users and it manages them in that same way except it goes further and requires a separate account for each device as well as each user).

  • I would like to have more than one tab opened when I open Firefox. Is that possible? I've tried and I wasn't able to accomplish it.

    I like when I open internet explorer and I've already have several tabs opened (e-mails, news, radio station). I've tried to do the same with your browser and I wasn't successful. Is it possible? How do I do it?

    The home page can be set as a single page, or as a list of tabs to open. Take a look at [[how to set the home page]].

  • It is necessary for me to have more than one window open in Firefox, and the command (New Window) no longer works. How do I have two different websites open at the same time on separate displays?

    I used to be able to open two Firefox windows at a time, with one website on one display and another website on another display. Now when I select New Window, nothing happens.

    You can tear off a tab (right-click: Move to New Window) to open it in another window and resize both windows so you see them at the same time.

  • Having more than one project open at the same time?

    I have more than two imovie projects that I need to combine and edit.
    Is it possible to open more than one imovie project to the desktop at one time
    so I can drag clips back and forth between projects?
    jim

    Jim,
    No it's not.
    But you can copy and paste from one project to another.
    Or, drag clips to the desktop, then open the other project and drag them in.

  • I can't print more then one page of a firefox document that is more then one page long. os xp3sp

    I can't print a document that was created by firefox and is longer then one page.
    == when I started using firefox

    Firefox has problems with some style rules.
    First, it's always helpful to use any print-formatted or print-optimized version of the page. Sometimes there is a link for this.
    Second, in some cases you need to use this trick: press Ctrl+a to select all content on the page, then Ctrl+p to display the print dialog, and click the radio button next to Selection.
    Those tricks don't always work, but hopefully they will help.

  • More then one photo open in the work area

    I Photoshop and earlier Elements I could place as many photos in the work space. I use this to move layers from one to the other. You could hold the shift key and drag from one photo to the other. Can't find the setting that allows this. I can only have one photo open the work area and all others are sitting in the ben at the bottom.

    You don't state which version of Elements in use. I have PSEv.8.
    In full Editor, go to Edit>Preferences>General and tick "Allow Floating Documents in full edit mode".
    The arrange icon at the top provides for "Float all in Windows".
