How do I fix Firefox when the page freezes ?

Please help my Firefox has started to freeze when I go to the next page of anything. It hangs for about what seems like 30 seconds, which can get quite annoying when your in a hurry. Is there a straightforward and uncomplicated way of fixing this, it didn't happen before the last two updates so I'm wondering if it's something to do with that. Thank you.

I have called for the big guys. They should respond before too long.
Good luck.

On switching on, a message says 'Firefox is already running but not responding...........' then tells me to close it and restart but how can I close it when the page isn't yet displayed?

When I switch on my computer I get the desktop then I try to click on Mozilla Firefox but get the message, 'Firefox is already running but not responding. To open a new window you must first close the existing Firefox process or resart your system.' I looked up how to close but I need to click on 'file' then 'exit'. How can I do that when I can't see the page yet? IE is working fine.

How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

For details of how to manually remove Firefox see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - it gives details of the folders you need to delete.
What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

ITunes is telling me that I've already authorized 5 computers and that i have to de-authorize one to play my music! How can i fix this when the only computer I've authorized is my own.

What I think has happened in the past 5years I've been using iTunes, I've cleaned off my hard drive 5times and saving all my music in the process. Each time I start over iTunes asks me to autherize that particular computer, but that computer/OS doesnt exsist anymore. How do I fix this?

How is one supposed to Fix Firefox when the computer does not open the new edition of Firefox that you just downloaded? Am I the ONLY one to ever have had thi

I run win7 64x pro. This is a restatment of problem I posted yesterday I have a hard time believing I'm the first to ever have this problem which is as follows: I used CC Cleaner because of FunMoods, which is the onlt thing I have found that removes that virus thoroughly
Having done that-Face book and a few other sites came up as hyperlinks only with no illustrations, So- I deleted Firefox completely and downloaded a new copy. It downloads but won't open. I used an old copy-13.0 & same thing-does not open.
I have used Firefox for Win since it came out.. My rule of logic with computers is that when I have some problem I cannot solve myself- I CANNOT be the first person to have had that problem yet I see no answers. I would appreciate some help. Thank you.

I am the same one who posted that question though the problem is exactly as described.. I watch the progress bar unpack the download and then it gives me the choice-run with previous settings or as administrator using a password.
Either way-I do not get a new browser. I do get a screen saying that my previous settings may be partially lost. I think a month ago I had also used CC cleaner. At that time-right clicking worked. Now it does not matter. Clicking on the Mozilla download gives me the progress bar but NO unpacked browser.

How do you paly music when the page load

I have tried. insert sharkwave. import .

Are you trying to add like background music to your flash
movie?
If so just create a layer called music or something so you
know what it is, insert a blank keyframe in the first frame of that
layer. Then import your music file and drag it from the library
onto the stage in that keyframe.

I don't want to have to click the allow button every 3 seconds uploading video, how do I disable the "firefox prevented the page from reloading" when I've already put the site on my exceptions list?

I begin uploading video to Facebook and a small window opens to show the progress bar but, the video stops uploading about every 5% when a notification comes from the top bar stating: "Firefox prevented the page from reloading" with an Allow button on the right. Regardless of clicking the allow button and putting Facebook in every exception list Firefox options seems to have or even turning pop up blockers off, that dam button keeps coming! How do I prevent or disable this?
I am running windows XP media center edition SP2, and have Firefox v3.6.11

You're welcome

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

Using firefox, scrolling over a link does nothing, but using IE on the same link I see an .aspx file that I can open. How do I fix firefox?

Going to a state sponsored site I see a link (underlined and in blue), but scrolling over it while in Firefox does nothing. Clicking on the link also does nothing.
Changing browsers to IE, I then go to the same site and scrolling over link changes cursor. Clicking on the link opens a new page.
The link's address is an .aspx file.
How can I fix Firefox to view this link.

Thanks for the try, but no help.
I tried removing the "style", but it did absolutely nothing.
I did notice something odd.
Going to the state site:
http://ww2.doh.state.fl.us/IRM00PRAES/PRASINDI.ASP?LicId=295&ProfNBR=3101
there is a link "Going to complaint", when I scroll over this it reacts normally and clicking allows me to open a new page, BUT, the page is not in the browser, rather it appears to be a new window floating over the browser. This window has no address, it appears to be a separate document rather then a part of the website. In this window document there is a link, underlined and in blue, under the heading "case number". There is no way to remove style from this window, and clicking in Firefox does nothing, while doing so in IE leads me to a PDF document.
I am a neophyte computer user, but wonder if there is something additional needed so Firefox can handle the .aspx file.

When I put a website Icon on my desktop, how do I make firefox use the Icon native to that website instead of the default Firefox Icon?

When I drag and drop a website onto my desktop, how can I make Firefox use the icon native to that website instead of the default firefox icon?
I have even gone painstakingly (SEVERAL TIMES) to the sites with IE, dragged the site onto my desktop in order to obtain the site native icons for my desktop (and deleted the ones with the Firefox icon) .... but they all soon revert to the default Firefox icon.
E X T R E M E L Y F R U S T R A T I N G !!!!!!!!!

I don't want icons from the Firefox library.
I want the icon that comes from the website I'm making the shortcut for.
(If you go to a site in IE you will see the site generated icon at the left end of the URL in the address field.)
If I make IE my default browser I am able to get (and keep) those icons as shortcuts on my desktop without a problem.
I want to keep Firefox as my default browser.
So I want to know how to make Firefox accept the icon that comes from the website like IE does.
I have even gone to the trouble to use IE to create the shortcuts with the site specific icons.....but after I do that...... FIREFOX CONVERTS THEM TO THE FIREFOX DEFAULT ICON as soon as I re-boot or refresh my desktop.
I generally prefer Firefox as a browser....but If there's no fix.....I'm going to dump Firefox.

How do I invoke an ActionListener on a page when the page initially loads?

How do I invoke an ActionListener on a page when the page initially loads?
Page 1: A user clicks on a h:commandButton and is navigated to Page 2.
Page 2: When the page loads and goes through RESTORE_VIEW, APPLY_REQUESTS and RENDER_RESPONSE, I need to call an ActionListener in the managed bean for Page 2.
However, if the user comes in from any other page than Page 1, the ActionListener cannot be invoked intially when the page loads. The user has a choice to click on the h:commandButton on Page2 to invoke the ActionListener.
What is an example of invoking a method with the ActionListener signature in Java code?
Where would I put the code to invoke the ActionListener, in a beforePhase or afterPhase, constructor?
Thanks,
--Todd

Interesting. You're right. It doesn't happen when I click away from this site and then return. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. Maybe it's the specific website I was thinking of and not Firefox. Unfortunately, I have to use that site all the time for work. I'll try contacting their webmaster. Thanks for your help.

How not to get back on the page i just closed when opening a new session

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

How do I stop a query from running when the page is loaded

Hi All,
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4. I have a JSPX page that is used to collect search parameters and then when a button is clicked uses those values to run a query and then populate a table on the same page. The problem is that when the page is loaded the system attempts to run the query. The query is a method in a session bean. I can keep the method from running the query code by wrapping it in an 'if' statement and checking the parameters for null (or other value). Once the parameters are collected the query is invoked but it looks like the method is running twice, once with the parameters (here I've checked that the result actually has rows in the list) and then again where the parameters are null and the method returns null.
What is the best way to do what I want here? From the buttons action method I am called the session beam method and returning null to stay on the same page. I think that is why the method is running the second time and returning null.
TIA,
Dave

Have a look at these screen casts from Steve Muench and see if one of these techniques works for you, or gives you the clue you need.

No synch choice in safari. So how do I synch my bookmarks in safari to firefox when the synch icon firefox says you have to use does not exist in safari.

no synch choice in safari. So how do I synch my bookmarks in safari to firefox when the synch icon firefox says you have to use does not exist in safari?
I cannot set up synch with bookmarks in safari since there is no synch icon in preferences in safari.

This is crazy. The directions on firefox keep telling you to go to links that do not exist to import bookmarks from safari.
For example, it says;
Firefox imports Safari settings automatically. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too.
BUT THERE IS NO IMPORT LINK UNDER FILES ON FIREFOX!
Then I tried to add a device. I got the code but the continue link was not on ever. I tried it over and over and it does not work.
WHO MAKES THIS SYSTEM??? How can something that should be so simple be so impossible, and why does Firefox direct you to links that do not exist or, if they exist, do not work!
Thanks,
Mike Ruggeri

When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

I am replying to myself. I called for Tech support and found out that when I tapped on the link I went to a web page in Safari and to double tap on the home button at the bottom of the iPad and then tap on "Mail" to get me back where I was.
I hope this helps anyone else with the same question.
