HELP! All web browsers freeze on certain webpages

Alright I'm baffled at what to do with this problem, hopefully someone can help me.
A few days ago i was browsing the web when it froze up on me. This happens from time to time and not thinking to much about it, i force closed Firefox. Upon restarting it instantly gave me the spinning wheel and i had to force quite again (It does this everytime i try any page on firefox)
I then tried safari and it works for a while but upon going back to the site i was on, it froze up also. Same thing with Rockmelt.
Soooo it seems that certain websites are the cause of the problem. I've reinstalled Firefox, cleared my plugins, disabled java and javascript, I uninstalled flash, i repaired the permissions, cleared the cache. But nothing seems to work.
It happens on wellsfargo when i try to see a pdf of my online statements, and other random sites. I've looked for the problem online but I've yet to find a solution.
If anyone could shed some light on this that would be awesome. Thanks

Thanks for your response, I updated everything but that has not helped.
I did make a dummy user account tho and it seems that i can do everything normally within it, sooo the problem must lie somewhere on my user account.
Any ideas on what this might be?
Well, a number of ways to approach this. Start looking for .plist, prefs, caches which might be culprits. Or migrate everything into your "dummy" account, make it admin, and delete your old admin account. Or reinstall the OS (I believe Leopard has the Archive and Install feature).

All web browsers freeze (non responsive)

Hi, can anyone here please help me with the following... I own a fairly good iMac which I bought brand new from apple in 2008, however in the last few weeks I've started noticing problems. Both the web browsers are freezing or hanging constantly, this getting particularly bad today... It happens fast every third or fourth website I visit and the applications just become unresponsive. I've already restarted the mac several time and emptied the history/cache etc but no joy!
I know that with 10.5 Firefox is no longer supported, so I've now uninstalled it but Safari keeps doing the same and Chrome won't install as its not 10.6 or higher!!!... The only solutions I can find on proper sites is to upgrade the operating system or buy a new computer which I think are ridiculous solutions and highly expensive!
Can anyone here help? I've had to use my ipad to type this as the iMac is just now terrible and really annoying to use... For such expensive machines I have to say the support and updates are terrible!!!! Seems like every couple of years they want you to buy new software or machines!
My specs are;
Mac OSX 10.5.8
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Thanks

For such expensive machines I have to say the support and updates are terrible!!!!
Seems like every couple of years they want you to buy new software or machines!
It's every year now and yes it's gotten too crazy, why I'm sticking with 10.6, then BootCamping Windows 7 Pro as it will recieve updates and support until 2020.
10.7 and 10.8 are turning OS X into iOS, it's a horrible interface for a desktop machine, but Apple thinks touchscreens are the future except most of them are likely coding with real keyboards and mice.
Ok, this is your choices.
First off 10.5 is totally insecure and obviously outdated, unless you backup wipe and reinstall everything offline and then use something like Deep Freeze to reboot the machine back to the frozen state, don't use anyting senstive online, you might get by a few more years on outdated browsers etc. 10-15% of OS X users are on 10.5 still, mostly PPC Mac's that can't upgrade. You can since you have a Intel processor.
Your next option is since your machine is likely hosed, is to backup files and wipe and install 10.5 again and any programs you can from original sources, update and then insert the 10.6.3 disk you can get via Apple online or calling them, it's like $20 or so. Then Software Updating until your on 10.6.8. Firefox, Chrome will work fine and recieve updates, don't use Safari as it's hasn't been updated for 10.6. So your good there and your 10.5 PPC software will work in Rosetta that gets installed if you need it for older programs. If you go this route your machine will be fast, faster than 10.5 as 10.6 has updated video drivers. This should do for you if you think your machine is getting a bit long in the tooth or don't want to spend too much more money on it.
The next step is costly, going from 10.6.8 to 10.8 (skip 10.7) via the AppStore online download, your machine qualifies, however all your PPC based software will not work requiring replacement and 10.8 will likely slow down your machine a bit. Slower than 10.6. Also it's a radical change, more like iOS. If you like iOS then 10.8 is your logical step. However there is a drawback, if the firmware upgrade hoses your iMac, then the only repair is a logicboard replacement and if your out of AppleCare then your looking at a new hardware purchase.
Your machine is 5 years old, thus out of AppleCare. Also depending how much you've used the machine, how long it's been on and inhaling dust to clog up the machine that casues it to overheat and kill things like the video card and the hard drive. Also how much you have been using the Superdrive which is needed. Only you know that.
So there is your choices, if you can't do the backup, OS X 10.5 install, then upgrade to 10.6 and then to 10.8, then have a local Mac specialist do it for you.

All Browsers Freezing on Certain Websites

I have no idea where to post this, because it involves all of my browsers on Mac OSX 10.5.3. Websites like the Scrabulous Facebook application, and my friend's website Wooohah.com just started freezing up the browsers. The page will load some of the data, and it looks like something else is trying to load, but the browser just locks up and gives me the rainbow spinny ball of death.
I've used Safari, Opera, Firefox, Minefield, Camino, all with latest versions and they all give the same response.
I thought it was something my Internet was doing, but I have no problems on the Windows machines I have in the house. I have no idea where to go on this as it's definitely the Mac only, but it's universal across all my browsers and only on certain sites. I'm not sure if they're trying to load some plugin that's crashing it.
If anyone knows anything I can try, I'm up for it. Last resort is a format/reinstall for me to see if that does anything.

Hi-
The Wooohah.com site works on my G4 with 10.5.3. in Safari.
Try another user account. If you need to, set up a new admin account (maybe call it "Test") and try.
If the problem sites work in the new account, then it is something in your user account that's fouling the works.

Flash player hanging up and crashing on all web browsers. Problem turned out to be AMD drivers

I have been having a problem running Flash Player, green screens, hang ups, crashes etc on my machine. I tried various solutions and every major and some not so major web browsers all to no avail. I tried reinstalling my windows 8.1 no good also tried running 8 and 7 all 64 versions. No go I came a cross a post about a problem with Flash and AMD that seems to recur every nown and then. I have a AMD HD 6670 1 gig GDDR5 PCI-E 2 card so I tried going back through AMD drivers untill I was able to get it to function properly. Finally I ended up using the driver from Dec 2013 13-12_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql along with the AMD Media Codec Package from Aug 2012 12-8_vista_win7_win8_32-64_xcode Flash is now playing with no problems. I thought I would share the solution I used in case it might help others.

I haven't run across this, though I did see a Firefox fileupload bug yesterday (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2980517). Would you mind opening a new bug on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? Please include URLs where you're seeing this behavior and we'll investigate further.

All Internet Browsers Freezing

I've found lately that all my internet browsers freeze after a random amount of time surfing, The only way to get out of it is a force quit.
Here's my info:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)
Kernel Version: Darwin 9.8.0
Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
Boot Mode: Normal

Ditto - numerous crashes. I have repaired disk permissions. Reinstalled Flash 10. ESPN.com will not load and the beach ball appears. Open to any and all suggestions to repair. Very frustrating. Happens in Firefox as well.

Safari and all other web browsers freeze with flash

This is a recent problem. For some reason in the past 2 days safari has completely stopped working for me on normal websites with flash. For example whenever I go to espn.com safari will load about 95% of the page and then it freezes up. It worked perfectly up to 2 days ago. I tried to uninstall flash and reinstall the latest version. Didn't help. I tried to see that my version was the newest one sent out by apple (it is). I even tried using chrome and firefox. Not a single browser worked. I tried scanning my computer with mcafee to see if it found a virus. It found nothing. I don't know whats going on but its really getting annoying because I can't go to any of my usual sports websites. If anyone has encountered this and has a solution it would be really helpful.

If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
I tried to see that my version was the newest one sent out by apple (it is
That may NOT be the latest version.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

All Web Browsers Unexpectedly Crash - Please Help

I just got my machine back from the service place where they installed a new hard drive and transfered the contents from the old hard drive.
Here's the problem. Both Firefox and Safari browsers unexpectedly quit on me shortly after starting. I've tried a few sites, and so far, the Apple site is the only one that hasn't quit on me. This even includes web-based software updates. It will begin the update and then just quit with no warning or explanation.
Can anybody please give me some advice on this? I'm sort of dead in the water. Thanks.

I just tried a simple restart and that seemed to clear the issue up.

How do you get your site to appear the same in all web browsers?

There are some things that show up differently in Safari than they do in IE and Firefox, how do I get everything to jive the same? I think it is in the code which I am not an expert on. My website was a template that I purchased online and most of the code was already built in. I have some of my links in Safari showing white when you rollover them but when I look in IE and Firefox they're not there. Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks

Actually what you are learning here is to create a stylesheet for all of your web pages. Including all of your styles inline in the page's code is very cumbersome.
Each of your pages needs code that refers to your stylesheet:
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url("../../css/content.css");
</style>
<style type="text/css" media="print">
@import url("../../css/content_print.css");
</style>
This assumes that your stylesheets (in my case, one for print, one for browsers) are located in a folder called /css which is a habit I have for neatness.
One thing that Dreamweaver does very well is keeps track of your styles and helps you edit styles to suit. I'm using CS3 which doesn't really allow you to look at the result of rollovers from within the application, but I keep Firefox handy for previewing. Problem is, once you create a style for a "visited" link, you can no longer see the result of the style for unvisited links in your browser unless you clear your browsers cache. Dreamweaver CS3 always shows links in their unvisited state.
There is other code I use to make Microsoft's non-compliant browsers do the right thing, though rollovers, visited, and such all tend to work the same in all browsers, save the most antediluvian.


The above code handles issues with Microsoft's intransigence pretty well, and my sites tend to look really uniform. But in the case of menus, I often have to write a completely different stylesheet to wrestle with Internet Exploder:
This is stylesheet reference for my menus:
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import url("../css/menu/menu.css");
</style>

Then I craft the changes for Internet Exploiter 6 in a separate stylesheet.
This should give you an idea of how powerful an external stylesheet can be. You can use "if" statements to handle the differences between the Microsoft non-compliant browsers and the more modern and compliant browsers, like Safari, Firefox and Opera.
You can see the result in any browser at http://www.readingsbykaren.com

All Web Browsers Broken

i posted this under the safari cat but haven't had any luck, but since it's not just safari i decided to try my luck here. recently i've been having problems with ALL of my webbrowsers, i've tried to use safari, firefox and opera and they're all doing the same thing. some pages will render fine and some will render text in glyphs in almost 733t speak! (only sometimes) i've tried to change the character encoding to several different codes and nothing seems to work. i know its not because of openDNS because my macbook renders the same page fine. i figure its something specific on this imac since the problem seems to be universally across all my imac browsers. is something wrong with my setting in OSX? please help! i'm on leopard. thanx ahead of time for taking the time to read the problem.
here's screen cap od what craigslist looks like when i search for "iphone"

and this is what i mean when i see it render in 733t (look at the headers):
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3126/27309728009dd00ccfbbo.jpg
any ideas or suggestions?

thanks orangekay for your input. i downloaded both onyx and cocktail and ran them both fully (not at the same time of course) and the problem still persists, pages are still rendering in glyphs. i went in and did the full system with every option checked. still no luck.
also after running the two utilities i've run into a new glitch. when a dialog box appears my pointer slowly moves automatically to the default button that is highlighted. its really strange, i'm not sure if thats a feature or not, but i havent had time to explore the situation.
so you believe it's a font problem? hmm...
thanks for the input again, geese, i guess this topic isnt very common, i've ony gotten one response =T

Web Browsers Freezing Mountain Lion

I upgraded to Mountain Lion over the weekend and I am really beginning to regret it. I went the upgrade route and soon after the upgrade was performed I began to experience system freezes while using Chrome. After a couple freezes I thought it might be best to use Safari. The problem occurred while using Safari as well. To the best of my memory these crashes generally occurred on pages that contained video. I can't say for sure because I may not have reached the bottom of the page before the freeze occurred. I performed a clean install after many freezes but the problem continues.
The freeze begins with a fraction of second where small squares appear on the screen. The screen then freezes but audio continues. During this time I am able to move the mouse but am unable to click on anything. Only option at that point is to use the power button. A crash log is not generated in the diagnostic reports. I'm not sure what is helpful to paste from the system logs but will provide anything you ask for. I'm a reasonably technically literate user but completely new to the support forums as my previous Macs did not have any serious problems.
I am a graphic designer and this is my primary machine and browser crashes are seriously inhibiting my ability to build websites. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer.

I made a call to Apple Support. We ended up deleting the plugins folder, deleting the cache in the Library and rebooting in safe mode. While in safe mode we reinstalled Flash. After restarting things appear to be running. I ran video from NBA league pass and Netflix while browsing youtube and other video intensive sites. It appears things are running as they should (and I hope this continues). I went 15 mintues without crashing so we'll see if the fix is permanent.
I will answer your questions as this issue still has me concerned and if the info is of any use for you or someone might all the details might as well be on the record.
If you haven't already, use Disk Utility to verify/fix permissions.
Haven't done this yet. May do it anyway.
Boot the Mac Pro into safe mode by holding down the shift key on boot. This will rebuild or repair some stuff, including your font cache.
Had booted in safe mode earlier today and while on the phone with Apple Support. It seems the second try was a charm.
Questions or Observations
If that FlashPlayer-10.6.plugin was older than the current Flash Removal script, it might have remained, before and after your new FlashPlayer install. Remove FlashPlayer-10.6.plugin (again).
I deleted my drive when I installed ML for the second time. Driver should only be from the last few days.
What Graphics Card is installed in your MacPro?
Radeon HD5870 - (I had noticed NVIDIA users had similar problems)
If you run the /Applications/Utilities/System Information.
Selecting Hardware, what is the Boot ROM Version that is reported? If you applied the 2008 Mac Pro EFI firmware update 1.3, you should see a Boot ROM entry of MP31.006C.B05.See here and here for this update. (MP51.007F.B03) Problem?
Selecting memory, does it report “OK” for each bank of memory? Yes
Are you current on your Extensis Font Management software? Is there stated compatibility with Mountain Lion? Yes & Yes - updated Extensis Immediately
You appear to have third party kernel extensions installed. What are these, and if necessary, are they Mountain Lion compatible?
I use a VPN Service and the extensions are required. They are, to the best of my knowledge, ML compatible.
Did your instability problems commence with the addition of the Western Digital WD2002FAEX (disk2) drive? This post on the community might be interesting.
I have had the drive since mid June. It was an RMA for a drive that went bad after 8 months. I have had no problems other than the issue in this thread. Thanks for the heads up though.
Did that Creative Technology Headset require driver installation? No
If this problem resurfaces I will come back to this thread. This issue still concerns me as I feel the whole system should not have been brought down like this. I had maybe 2 or 3 fatal crashes on my G5 quad and this machine in 8 years.
I am grateful for your assistance!

Flash Player Crashes In All Web Browsers

Dear Adobe,
For months now when ever I visit a site that uses flash, wever it be in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9 or Mozilla Firefox. Within about 5 minutes the page I am on will crash and report to me that, the flash plugin / player has crashed. It does this without fail, every time I go online. I mostly play zynga games on facebook. I also use fullscreen whenever possible, and always using the latest version of flash thanks to the cool flash updater.
I have just today checked and updated to the latest nvidia graphics drivers with a clean installation.
I followed advice about disabling hardware acceleration and going through the steps for uninstalling Flash, and emptying the folders associated with it. Sadly though the problem still remains.
I would love for this long time problem to be resolved!
My system is Windows 7 64-Bit, with an Nvidia Geforce 7600gs.
Please find dxdiag results.

Hi Mikey - Sorry you're running into these crashes. It's odd that this is occurring with all browsers and Flash content. There must be something specific about your system that is causing this to happen. We'd like to investigate further. Would you be willing to create a new bug report and attach both your dxdiag report and any crash dumps that you can generate? Please see this FAQ for additional details and steps.
How do I report a Flash Player crash to Adobe?

All web browsers, search engines and apps redirect automatically to broken links.

Hi, I have a big problem. When I browse internet, my iPhone redirect it automatically to different links. most of them are broken links. When I try to stop, web browser or app will be closed. This occur with every web browser, google and apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber, etc. Why is this ? If I try to open a weblink in a web browser or an app, it will open original link and then redirect to a different web address automatically. And it content nothing. I am confused. Please help.

thanks orangekay for your input. i downloaded both onyx and cocktail and ran them both fully (not at the same time of course) and the problem still persists, pages are still rendering in glyphs. i went in and did the full system with every option checked. still no luck.
also after running the two utilities i've run into a new glitch. when a dialog box appears my pointer slowly moves automatically to the default button that is highlighted. its really strange, i'm not sure if thats a feature or not, but i havent had time to explore the situation.
so you believe it's a font problem? hmm...
thanks for the input again, geese, i guess this topic isnt very common, i've ony gotten one response =T

Parts of pages don't work in ALL web browsers?

There's a site where I'm a registered user and have a profile page. One one of my PowerBook G4s, all the frames and content appear fine and I can use the tabs and pull-down menus no matter which browser I use (Safari or Firefox). On my other PB G4 though, these things don't work no matter WHICH browser I use--I've tried Safari, Firefox and Camino. Under the content tabs, there is no content and I can't highlight the other tabs. If I click on a pull-down menu, nothing appears.
I tried emptying the cache of all of them. I went through all the preferences for each browser and for system prefs and matched them to what's on the PB G4 that works--but these items still don't work on the one laptop. Obviously this isn't a browser issue so I'm thinking it has something to do with the operating system? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Did that tell us something?

All web browsers are slow

I have a problem running with web browsing which seems to be the same no matter which browser I use. I have both Safari and Fiefox installed on my machine and after about an hour or two hours of browsing, web pages take longer and longer to load and the spinning beachball spins more often until the browser stops responding altogether and I have to carry out a 'force quit.'
I installed OS 10.4 to try and solve the problem, but after a few days' grace, it seems to have come back again. I'd be really grateful for any help with this as I'm at my wits' end, and running maintenance software such as Cocktail and repairing permissions seems to make very little difference.

Hmm. That question is very badly phrased. I must learn to use 'preview post' more often. It should, of course, have read:
