How to fix my firefox' s constant "not responding" issues?

Here's the deal. About last week, My firefox browser encountered some problems. Everytime I opened it, loading time was really long and when I opened a new tab either to open google search or to open another website, it didn't respond at all for about 30 secs or more. That was why I reinstalled firefox to see if it, hopefully, could be different somehow. Unfortunately, the problems now are not so different from what I have described, only now it's got a bit worse with the constant "not responding" and "freezing" in every tab I open - more or less than 30s PER TAB. I thought there was something wrong with my hardware or some features on my laptop, yet my google chrome still works. How does it still work? NO IDEA! But whenever my firefox freezes when I click on some links or a new tab, I turn over to GC and it still works really well so far. But I would prefer firefox to GC as my default browser since I'm more used to using it and a few features on it work better on the latter. So I would be really grateful if these issues are dealt with as soon and effectively possible. Thanks a lot :)

The "not responding" problem just started today. I removed and re-installed firefox. I disabled ALL the add-ins and the problem remains. I've been using Firefox for years probably starting with version 2. I guess this is the end of the line for me. Chrome is more popular so that's where I'm going. Bye...
Unfortunately I'm going to miss some of the great add-ins and the so easy to use bookmark system but I need a browser that works All the time. Bye, Bye..

  • Firefox 4.0 not responding minutes at a time in Windows 7

    I've been a Firefox user for many years. Tried Firefox 4 beta for several days with no problems. Updated to 4.0 and now constant "not responding" messages which last several minutes at a time.

    When I looked at the Mozilla folder on the C drive, it still said beta, even though I had installed Firefox 4 the day it came out. Actually, the folder said Beta 8, even though I think I also got Betas 9-11 and RC 1 and 2. So I guess as the older versions got overwritten, there was a lot of junk left behind. I saved my settings, uninstalled FF4 with Revo, reinstalled and have had no more of these hang-ups for several days now. This is not the first time I've had to uninstall and reinstall FF. I love it, but I guess you get what you pay for.

  • How to save message when getting "email not responding"

    how to save message when getting "email not responding"

    How could you even know if you have a message if the email account isn't responding?
    Quit the mail app and reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail icon. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • User did Not respond issues!! Please help, tried everything...

    Hi,
    I'm having some problems with the whole Audio/Video chat option on Ichat. I'm trying to connect to my girlfriend who also is running on Mac. When we try to connect, it says, "USER NAME, did not respond".
    I've read almost every post on this thing, and seems that the solutions either don't work, or are specific to router/modem setups.
    Now, just as a test to ensure it is from my end, I got my mom... who has an new Intel Imac to connect to my girlfriend, and their video sessions worked fine... so something is wrong with my end for sure.
    I have 2 macs, an Imac and a Macbook pro, and they both experience the same problems, they are running on an Airport Extreme, and our service is through Bell Sympatico, which is a DSL service. I am using a Speed Stream 5200 modem.
    Now both computers are running wirelessly, and I've tried different things like only having one computer connected... hardwiring the computer and even connecting one of the computers directly to the modem... all configurations didn't work. I've also turned off any firewall settings, and unchecked the Distribute IP address option in my airport.
    Personally I believe there is an issue with my ISP or modem, and not sure where to go from here.
    Please if you have any solutions get back to me through this, or through IChat directly my user name is: [email protected]
    Thanks so much
    Kosta

    Dear Stakis,
    You are very welcome. As you might have noticed this discussionforum has been redisigned with profound and intelligent architectural troubleshooting design. I'm sure you will find an answer because all problems are directed towards narrowing down the possible problem and direct you forward to your best way to address your configuration in a way that has the biggest change of successfuley solving your problem. Some peers have been thinking in a very analitical way and almost build a verbal software support applet
    Regarding your trouble. You ran your Ichat behind a router and used the book Pro to host the iChat traffic. I think you should use the iMac to have the router pointforward to as first terminal to regulate iChat traffic. You can use bonjour to have your bookpro chat with the outside world as a network computer using the imac as ichat traffic controller. I noticed you run games on your bookpro . The output you pasted in your reply indicates that your Probook will get in trouble since the code for Xvid is meant for your iMac and your probook needs the universal version.
    QuickTime/XviD_Codec-r58 (ppc).component/Contents/MacOS/XviD.
    IT should be: QuickTime/XviD_Codec-r58 (intel).component/Contents/MacOS/XviD. (not available yet but comming very soon)
    This might cause trouble that destabilises your computer set up and indicates the iMac is the one that is first in line to iChat and your pro is not able.
    Any way you might wonder, what is all this and why this hassle? Basicaly it is something that happened years ago when OSX 10.3.9 was updated to xcode and a simple routine was replaeced by a newer and importand for future addressing compatibility of account/password/id in the future. Apple changed its policy of two account/password/id per user into one. Remember the two different passwords long ago? Well a smart move but badly implented because a lot of developers had the old routine implemented in their personal lybraries and toolkits and did not take notice to replace the old string by the new one wich was paramount to x10.4 account/pas/id addressing. This problem first came to light in mail, there were very strange and inconsistent account and ip malfunctions which where unexplainable at the time. IT took an enormous effort to get a work arround this problem. Especially since it was not analised to the bit. Anyway, this is the cause of suddendeath of iChat inititiation a/v functionality and the did not respond issue. The information to make the connection is inconsistend to the hard/software of the wireless functionality. AIM is also to blame. They chose the easy way out and get the bill now.
    There are some more (not so relevant) issues as time will solve them (quicktime codec h264).
    So please read the new discussionboard trouble shooting pages and i am pretty sure you'll be iChatting (2 way only for now) withing no time thanks to the men who had the patience to allow Apple some time for a fix and kept peers iChatting all over the world with almost individual counseling.

  • Help I cannot get on to itunes. It comes up with the message that msvcr80.dll is missing. But i need very straight forward instruction s how to fix this as I am not good with computers.

    Help I can no longer access my I tunes from my computer. It comes up with the message MSVCR80.dll is missing. Can anyone give me very simple instructions as to how i can fix this. I am not very computer literate.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

  • TS1832 I can't open pages anymore. Does anyone know how to fix it. I am not a Tech. Savvy person so the more basic the answer the better

    Help! I am not a tech savvy person and I am trying to work on a resume and I can no longer open pages. The dialogue box just keeps telling me my current version is not compatible. I have iwork09' and Mac OSX 10.6.8. Any ideas how to fix it.

    You can do the following:
    Try Trashing the Preferences files for Pages 09'.
    To do that go to Finder> User Directory (which should be identified with your name i.e. johndoe in the finder's sidebar. See image below)> Library> Preferences. Look for a file that mentions pages and ends with the .plist suffix. The filename should look like pages.plist or "com.apple.pages.plist"
    Image of User Directory folder in Finder:
    Trash the preference file and reopen the Pages Application.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have a Windows Vista desktop and an old XP laptop, both run Firefox perfectly. However, my Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop will not run ANY version of Firefox--constant "not responding" messages. Chrome and IE9 work perfectly. Help!!

    To mostly repeat my question, I am a longtime Firefox user on both an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. So here I get the most "capable" computer of all, a Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop, 64-bit Windows 7, 4G RAM...and it won't run Firefox at all! I have installed an uninstalled both Firefox 3, and just now, Firefox 4. No changes. When I open the software, it usually just locks up for a minute or so, and I finally get a "not responding" message at the top of the screen.
    Obviously there is something corrupt in the guts of my laptop. But both IE9 and Chrome work very well--Chrome is blazing fast. I still prefer Firefox because it works best with some particular software I use for work...but I have to go to one of my older computers to do it!
    ANY solutions out there? This seems like a very odd problem.
    Posting from the Firefox website...using Google Chrome!

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
