How to fix Firefox when stops loading content

Firefox has become virtually unusable for me. After a little bit of use, the program just refuses to load new content. I don't know what the issue is that's causing it but I've done everything I can to try to fix it:
"Reset" Firefox in the Help area
Set up a new profile
Tried Firefox in Safe Mode
Removed all of my add-ons
Complete uninstall/reinstall
Run Malware Bytes, Microsoft Security Essentials, and Spybot scans which returned clean
Disabled hardware acceleration
Updated all my plug-ins except Java whose website was down and wouldn't allow me to download the new version
Tried to dump the cache by reloading using "CTL+F5"
Manually added Firefox to Windows Firewall
There may have been more that I've tried, but nothing is working. After a little bit of use (it's random, I haven't found a specific amount of time, tabs, websites, content, etc...), the program just refused to load new content. If I go to Facebook, it may upload a new update, but no additional images or media will load. If I open a new tab and try to launch a website, I just get the spinning circle.
At some point, it will let some parts of a website load, but I have to let it sit a long time until it finally loads, even then, the site loads with all kinds of errors (no images, formatting is messed up, etc...).
I have had issues with Firefox in the past and I just went to Chrome. I think the issue lies in the FF24 update because it had been working fine previously. I don't know what else to do... Any suggestions?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

    How to fix file when it says, "Cannot open file " ". Adobe Indesign does not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or file may be open in another application." It worked one second, I saved and closed the file, then tried to reopen and now it won't work. I am using Adobe InDesign CS5. It is the only version on my comp. I have tried opening on another comp & copying the file – same error comes up. PLEASE HELP

    First check the version of the document with Jongware's script "Identify.jsx" (ExtendScript/JavaScript).
    You can find it here:
    [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
    If it is CS 5.5 or above, you need someone to open it in the version the script says and export an IDML representation from that. Another way would be to install a 30days version of CS6 or above (CC) and do it yourself.
    In regards of the script showing a result for InDesign files higher than CS6:
    CS7 = CC v9
    CS8 = CC v10 = CC-2014 or CC2014.1

  • Why does Firefox Mobile stop loading when using VPN?

    When I'm connected to Private Internet Access VPN on my phone (using their app in the play store) occasionally Firefox gets into a state in which no webpages can be loaded. I can fix the problem in one of two ways: (1) use Google Chrome for Android or any other app that uses the internet or (2) disconnect from VPN and use Firefox without that protection. Sometimes when I reconnect to VPN, Firefox pages will load again but sometimes not.
    The loading bar in Firefox Mobile always gets stuck in the same spot, which I am thinking could be diagnosed to determine which part of the http protocol it might be stuck at. I am hoping I can attach a screenshot.
    I really believe in what you guys are doing. Keep fighting the good fight.

    It could possibly be that the dns is failing, but to be sure there would need to be a log and need to be tested on lte and wireless to see if its consistent.
    This may be what you are experiencing [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=947801 bug 947801 ] Please take note of the bugzilla etiquette: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html here]

  • Firefox Randomly stops loading web pages properly until restart.

    So i want to first say that iv been a long time firefox user, however a few firefox builds ago i started having this issue where randomly when clicking a link or typing a page into the url and attempting to load, the browser would just load... and load.... and load until i exited browser and reclicked the link or retyped it into the url where it would then proceed to practically instantly load like normal.
    First i thought i might have a virus, however cleaning my PC with 0 results found did not stop this issue, rebuilding 3 new PC's for my home also did not stop this issue because its currently happening on all of my computers in the home. I then thought maybe it was my internet however a few friends iv asked who also use firefox experience the same issue. Unfortunately i switched to another browser to stop the problem but when i heard there was a new firefox update i came back. However the problem still persist today as of 6/8/14.
    If anyone knows a fix please let me know so i don't have to switch to a different browser again.
    So basically when it loads extremely slow all i have to do is literally exit browser and reopen the exact same link and it works flawlessly, until the issue pops up again when clicking on another link however many minutes later.
    I would also like to note (if it helps at all) that when it decides to start this loading bug error, one particular webpage seems to be exempt from it "Bing.com" no matter if im having this issue bing loads instantly every single time regardless, i dont use bing so i have no clue why this website does not have the same issues as every other website. (bing works for every PC as well in my home during this issue)
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    I had a recent problem which was making the Firefox behaving in a similar way. In my case, the culprit was a plugin which was displaying some info about the website I was visiting (IP, location, domain info, etc). So, I suggest that you'd review all the plugins which:
    * Can interfere with the communication between your computer and the server
    * Would perform additional requests to other servers, with the purpose of acquiring info, whenever you visit a page.
    You can deactivate one/few plugins at a time and check, however a quick way to see if the issue are caused by one of them is to use Help -> Restart with addons disabled and select the Safe Mode, which will deactivate all the plugins until the next Firefox restart.

  • Safari, firefox both stopped loading images suddenly

    Everything was working great, then suddenly both safari and firefox stopped loading all images. Ebay, Amazon, Netflix and so on, even the mac store site will not load the images. I am using Safari 6. I have done all the updates, cleared all the caches, did all the suggested things the forums said. Change DNS and so on, nothing is working. I don't understand how this could happen. Can someone please help!!!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How to open List when Page loads in SharePoint Hosted App?

    I  want to create an app same like InstantPracticeManager by InstantQuick.
    Now I want to know that in a SharePoint Hosted App How can I show the Whole List in a page. 
    Here I have added one image:
    Here there is one list and there are 4 views of that list.
    Now the App will be like when I load the page It will show like the image above. Now how can we show the list like this in sharepoint hosted app?
    I want the same scenario which is shown in the following blogs:
    http://sp2013.blogspot.in/2012/08/use-list-view-in-sharepoint-2013-apps.html
    and
    http://www.sharepointnutsandbolts.com/2013/08/working-with-web-parts-within.html
    where they add a list to an app
    Can any one suggest me the idea? I am bit confused.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to show the different list view in a page in SharePoint Hosted App.
    We can use jQuery and cross-domain library to achieve it.

  • I get nothing but error messages, -"Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available" or 364? there are hundreds stacked up.You must give answers to how to fix these when we do "search" add the error code number

    I get nothing but error messages, -
    "Your IMAP server wants to alert you to the following: 113 that mail is not available"  or  the same with:  364? 
    Now there are hundreds stacked up on my desktop.
    I cannot find the answer anywhere. You need to  give answers to how to fix these errors because when I  "search" "error code" or the number there is NOTHING. NOTHING!  Yet you give us these stupid error codes
    then you do not give us ANYTHING on how to fix these. These error codes make me so mad it makes me hate outlook, and hate the developers and hate microsoft.  How in the world can you give us ERROR codes without the explanation of what
    to do or how to fix it. You need to  add each  error code number in your "search" then explain what it is and how to fix it.  I am not a tech. I am a lawyer. I have googled the entire string of error code and nothing is clear.
    So, for the last several years, I get these error codes. Also, there is another error code that won't go away--it is the password error code that asks if I want to store the password. Yes, so I say YES. but it pops back. I am sick of this. This is the reason
    I hate Microsoft and I love google. #1 they respond to error, #2 them try to fix them you do not. I paid the full price to buy the OUtlook 2010, almost $500 just to get outlook, and all I got was error codes. I could not even open it because all I would get
    was that error codes and NO ONE knew how to fix them. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM that you cannot fix the stupid error codes that you imbed? PLEASE HELP

    Hi,
    I understand how frustrated you are when facing such an issue, maybe I can provide some suggestions on the problem.
    Based on the description, you should be using an IMAP account setup in Outlook. As for the error message, usually it's caused by a corrupted message on the Server. I suggest you logon the Webmail site, check if sending/receiving emails works well.
    If you find any unusual emails that cannot be read or sent, try deleting them to try again.
    I also suggest you create a new profile to setup the IMAP account:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    Contact your Email Service Provider to get the correct and latest account settings, since you have been using Outlook for years, some settings may have been changed while you haven't been informed.
    For the steps to setup an account in Outlook 2010, please refer to:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/add-or-remove-an-email-account-HA010354414.aspx

  • How to fix Firefox version of website (?)

    Trying again. My first post attempt resulted in a blank page
    because there was no "post" or "save" function available and I
    finally gave up in disgust. There is a "Post Message" button below
    this text box, replacing the "Edit Message" button that was there
    before, along with the usual "Preview" "Attach Code" and "Cancel"
    buttons that were always there. No, I'm not kidding. Maybe it will
    actually work this time. Anybody ever have problems with posting to
    these forums, besides me?
    Anyway, please take a look at www.cheltenhamhomecare.com in
    both IE and Firefox and tell me how to fix the code so the bar and
    email link at the bottom of the page will hug the bottom of the
    browser window, as they do in IE? In Firefox, the only way to get
    to them is to scroll down all the way. There must be some solution,
    right? Anybody?
    Thanks in advance...
    Jonathan

    First, you have enough errors to be concerned about:
    http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cheltenhamhomecare.com%2F
    2nd, those errors and the absence of a DOCTYPE are kicking Fx
    into quirks
    mode. That may be a factor and must be fixed regardless.
    Next, it looks like you may have used code generated by
    ImageReady, If so,
    that is always suspect as image editing apps are notorious
    for spewing out
    verbose, fragile code.
    I see you are using some incredibly large spacer gifs, rarely
    a good idea.
    Finally, the page is full of deprecated tags such as
    <font>.
    I think your entire construction approach is too flawed to
    ever be
    successful.
    Sorry.

    it opens in another tab. is this an automaticv process or can it be turned off?

    After starting go to the tab you don't want for home page and delete. When in your proper home page selection goto tools..options and select current. Restart. You should be ok. BTW this will happen with all upgrades and updates.
