How come IE works fine while Firefox crashes and hangs constantly

IE works fine while Firefox opensn 1 web page then hangs, crashes when trying to access "source", does not render Windows Media Player content, update to 3.6.9 hangs in eternal download mode, then frazzles, on Windows XP with AMD processor and Firefox 3.6.8.

Your plugins list in the system details doesn't show the WMP plugin.<br />
You need to install the WMP plugin for Firefox if you want to see embedded WMP content.

Download a fresh copy of Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html ) and do a reinstall of Firefox over the top of the current version.

Iframe won't scroll! It works fine in FireFox, Chrome, and IE

I wrote a simple holder to display websites writen for phones on larger screens. In it I simply have an Iframe. This works great for FireFox, Chrome, and IE (although IE does not work well with HTML5). However on Safari instead of scrolling the Iframe expands. Below is my holder page.
I've been testing with an IPad 3.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the help.

User csdco (https://github.com/fancyapps/fancyBox/issues/2#issuecomment-5997068) has provided a simple answer that solved the issue for me.
It's much easier to control overflowed divs than it is iframes, and the scrolling + blank content issues are working all the way back to iOS 4, where previously I wasn't even able to get the 2 finger scrolling to work (in iframes).
It goes something like this:
<iframe id="stupid-iframe" width="600" height="200" src="a-file.html"></iframe>
a-file.html:
<html>
<body>
<div id="wrapper" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;">
</div>
</body>
</html>

Firefox crashes and hangs

I have repeatedly tried every one of your suggestions to stop the crashes and hanging. I even wiped firefox completely and did a clean install, all with the same results. I have rechecked my firewall settings, anti-virus settings and spyware/malware settings - all are set to allow firefox to do whatever and still crashes or hangs - I'm at wits end - I prefer firefox but can't use it and IE is a piece of crap - if you look back over the last few months you will see repeated crashes and their reports form me - e-mail address [email protected] - any suggestions short of shooting the damn computer and going back to tinker toys and Lincoln logs?

Firefox Crashes and Hangs when opened and wont work in safe mode

I use a mac OS X 10.6.7
I have tried to follow your guides but I have been unable to stop firefox from crashing. I disabled all the apps via safe mode and the programme still crashes.
I type in about:crashes but only had time to get the last crash details

Thanks for the note about profile locations.
I deleted mimeType.rdf in my existing profile, still have the same issue - can't view Tools -> Options for the Applications tab, or download a file. Same goes for a new profile - the same issues arise.
Firefox never does crash, I can leave it in this hung state for hours (I left it in a 'not responding' state last night and it was still hung this morning).
I was going to add a screen shot to this post but Firefox hung when I clicked on the 'Browse' button. Perhaps this is an issue when FF tries to interact with my directory structure? Does that get us any leads on what's wrong?
FYI, I currently have my antivirus disabled & not running in the task bar just in case that was interfering somehow.

Firefox will not stay open on my MacBook Pro; it opens for roughly 30 seconds, then crashes. It works fine on my MacBook and my HP Mini, but not on the MacBook Pro. Are others having this problem? How do I fix it?

I have XMarks enbled, and about 20 seconds after opening, Firefox asks me to verfiy two XMarks addresses (choose between local or server). After I do so, Firefox crashes and generates the below crash report details:

I am facing problem in playing yahoo pool in Firefox 4 while it was working fine in Firefox 3.6. In Firefox 4 the combination of mouse keys are not working properly.

I updated to Firefox 4.01 today and the middle scroll button on my Lenovo T400 stopped working. I downloaded the updated Ultranav utility and the Ultranav driver for my T400 from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72858.html and then uninstalled the "Thinkpad Ultranav Driver" from Add/Remove programs rebooted and then installed the updated utility and driver (another reboot) and it now works perfectly.
So glad to get this working again.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
It doesn't sound like you "changed" your Apple ID, sounds like you created a new one. Bad idea. All content bought with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. The ID that bought the content is the only ID that can update the content. Apple does not merge IDs not does Apple transfer content from one ID to another.

I found the problem. The items in question are in a SQL Region generated from the wizard as an SQL report. When I move these items into an HTML region it works correctly. This is an APEX bug. I also noticed Date Picker items within a report region do not work, you are unable to select the date.

After mozilla firefox crashed and a restart, the Firefox Developer Edition opend - how to open the normal firefox browser ?

after mozilla firefox crashed and a restart, the Firefox Developer Edition opend - how to open the normal firefox browser ?

See if this works for you.
Open up Tools > Options -> General and toggle the first preference - '''Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time''' - to get back to your previous Aurora Profile. It will tell you to restart Firefox.
If there's a check-mark in the box for that pref it shows the Aurora Profile, if you remove that check-mark it shows the Developer Edition Profile.

Firefox crashes and i loose all my work. Help..

Firefox crashed every time i open it.. its very unreliable now as i have list my work a number of times now. It open and crashed and restarts and works fine. It crashed once after opening.. and it can crash after 2 mins or 1 hr.. random. i was in the middle of a bank transaction and it crashed.. so frustrating.. sadly have no other option other than to go back to ie.. this issue is with the new version 12 and 13. earlier never had these issues.

Did you check the Knowledge Base crash articles and tried the various suggestions?
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.org/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 the 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.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

Why did my external HD monitor go blank after working fine while hooked up to a new MacBook Pro?

Why did my external HD monitor go blank after working fine while hooked up to a new MacBook Pro? I have the Moshi adapter and HDMI hooked up to the 27 inch monitor. It was working fine and when I came back after lunch the monitor was blank but the MacBook Pro screen was fine. Could it be the adapter?

could be, try powering down the mac, with the exmonitor connected and see if it is recognized

Flash Builder 4.5 with Firefox - crashes and no performance data. How to fix?

I am an experienced Flex developer, but new to the Flash Builder 4.5 Profiler. I'm using Firefox 5.0 and Shockwave Flash 10.2.153.1. Windows XP.
I have several problems:
1) in the profile view during a run, the buttons are dimmed and therefore I cannot "Capture Performance Profile".
2) almost every time I run, the Flash Player in Firefox crashes (And now worse, using that same profile, Firefox crashes randomly, but quickly on ANY web pages. I smell a re-install of Firefox coming.)
3) there is the option to configure for the Standalone Flash Player and a browser. How do I say WHICH one to use for a given profile run?
If I configure the browser to be IE, Firefox runs anyway.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Thanks for the time.
Message was edited by: ozDiGennaro

I have solved the crash by reinstalling the latest Flash Player.
The configuration issue is not as important.
The solution was simple. In the "Profile" view, select the "[Running]" instance. This enables the important buttons, like "Capture".
This causes a "Performance Profile" line to appear, linked to the running instance. Double click to view the info.
Thanks for listening.
