I am getting problems with Firefox not responding and it takes several tries to get to where I want. What causes this?

When I log onto the internet I am now using Google as my home page but my problem still exists. When I go to get a new site I get a message that Firefox is not responding. Then it clears up and I click on something else and it does the same thing. I have even done a complete virus and malware check on my computer. What can I do to correct this?

(06 Oct 14) updated firefox and Kaspersky, now have problems with Barclays site - firefox "not responding" and plugin error on trying to close. Help!

Updated Kaspersky to 15.0.0.463(a) - ( comes with "safe money" - now turned off).
Updated Firefox from (old) version to 32.0.3.
Barclays bank site loads properly, and allows access to accounts BUT when I try to look at a statement, Firefox "not responding" and a blank/ unresponsive page is displayed.
In order to acheive any movement I have to close firefox... this gives rise to windows wanting to send error data, and Firefox apologising for loosing the tab.
None of which allows me to do essential banking transactions.
It is this machine that has the problem - I can access without problems via work computer (using google Chrome)

My guess is that your statement is a PDF document, since banks and other companies often use that format for statements.
Firefox has various options for viewing PDFs, including a built-in PDF viewer (not as full featured as Adobe's), or the option to use a plugin such as Adobe Acrobat, or to launch the PDF in an external application. This article describes how to experiment with that setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
On another subject, your plugin list has various plugins described as "Google Chrome Extension". I haven't seen that before. Could you review the list and see whether they really should be active in Firefox or can be deactivated?
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
For those that are not essential, I suggest changing them to "Never Activate". This might not take effect immediately in that window, but should disable them in new windows.

I have upgraded twice to FF 4.0 and both times I have had major problems with it not responding and loading pages very slowly.

I have once again gone back to the older 3.6 version. I love the layout of the new 4.0, but I hate all the lagtime and the fact that it stops responding every few minutes. Will this be addressed? I would much rather have the latest version, but the lags are annoying.

I have also updated to the newest version and enjoyed the new look and layout how ever I have experienced confusing issues. For a few months 4.0 ran without a hitch no problem in sight then all of a sudden each time I loaded any link I would experience no indication of it working. Loading up task manager it was running at least twice at demanding memory usage was also high. The cpu usage was just as it always was which was below 5% even with other programs running. It constantly shows that the browser is "(not responsive)"

Problems with IE8 "not responding" on windows 7

I have a Toshiba Satellite L-355 that has been upgraded to run Windows 7 Home Premium from Windows Vista. I've been having problems with IE8 "not responding" and have tried running it without add-ons, system restore, and banging my head against the wall. All to no avail. Does anybody have any ideas how to fix this? I've tried running other browsers with the same problems.

Intel(R) HM55 Express Chipset LPC Interface Controller
Thanks, sav! That's perfect. (Good to know it shows up in Device Manager for people, too.)
Okay ... although it's the Intel P55 and PM55 chipsets which get all the press about cranky Touch/iPhone connections on Windows 7 systems (the 0xE0000065, -6999 and "Disk can not be read or written to" error messages are the most common, although symptoms can vary further than that), similar sorts of issues look like they could strike other Intel 5-series chipsets ... including your HM55.
So I'm proceeding precisely as I would with someone with a PM55 chipset.
*1) Dell updates*
Some folks with 5-series chipset trouble have got past it by way of BIOS updates. So I thinks it's worth your heading to your Downloads page at Dell, and checking to see if there's any newer versions of your BIOS lurking there. Unfortunately, with the Studio 15s I'm never precisely sure which is the correct downloads page ... so I'd try going to the following Dell page:
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx
... enter your service tag, and then drill through to your downloads page.
Any improvement with your syncing performance after applying any available BIOS updates at Dell?
*(2) Adjust power management setting on USB controllers*
If no joy after updating (if you were behind on your BIOS version), try applying the measures from the following document:
[iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB|iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB]
Reboot the PC after making the changes, and then try another sync. Any improvement?
(If either set of measures improves your sync performance, please post back to let us know which one helped for you.)

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

Also messages does the same thing

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Hey floridiansue,
Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook? If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.

Repeatedly get this message and have this happen - mozilla firefox not responding - and then everything is frozen. why and how can this be prevented?n. g

repeatedly get the above message - mozilla firefox not responding - happens on no particular website - often happens on my aol home page. i would like a simple, easy to understand explanation or solution.
also, often get this message - Problem Loading Page. problem appears to be with firefox as i can access the sites through my mobile device.
and one other problem - a site i could accesss but was not allowed to register - after thinking i must be out of my mind going round and round in circles - i called the site's 800 number and was told there is always a problem registering using mozilla firefox. so what did i do, i registered on my mobile.
i don't think any of this should be happening.

Why Firefox5 is very, very slow in responding, keep getting the message Firefox not responding

It is very slow when opening e-mails -- say" connecting" and stays at that point for 3-4 min. and then say Firefox not responding.
This happens when I open some websites too why? How do I correct it.

Two things I've tried that seemed to help.
Disabled all Java Console Add-ons. I had 14 in Win 7 and 21 in XP SR3
I use Vipre as my Anti-Virus. When it was in the Active Protection mode it appeared that it had to clear every html subfile for a site before it would open the page. On complex Web Pages like a news site this could take a looong time. Noticeable improvement after disabling Active Protection in Vipre

I upgrade firefox from 7 to 8 and now when i start firefox everytime it opens "getting start with firefox" page, in options i select the option 'show a blank page" how can i resolve this issue?

i upgrade firefox from version 7 to version 8, now when i start firefox everytime it open self the "getting start with firefox" website, in the options on firefox i select the 'show a blank page' but its not working. i am using firefox on windows XP- SP2.

Try restarting Firefox, the one time page(s) after starting a new release should disappear. Actually this last time with 8.0 they did not come up for me.
If that doesn't work then bring up '''about:config''' and place the url of the page into the filter. Right-click on anything that comes up and use "Reset".

I had a problem with firefox not showing up when I tried to open it. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled. After reinstallation my computer tells me the file is corrupt and I still can't open it. Other browsers work fine.

Mozilla Firefox has worked fine for several years. Beginning two days ago I would click on the desktop icon, I would see the little whirling circle for about 1 second and then nothing would happen. Later when I shut down the computer, suddenly I would see the mozilla firefox page come up for an instant and then shut down. The computer was telling me that it was open, but I couldn't see the home page or use it. Then I decided to try uninstalling it and reinstalling. The uninstall went fine. But after downloading the latest version, which my antivirus program told me was safe, the computer refused to install the executable program, telling me it was corrupt. I have already lost all my bookmarks, etc. It looks like my only solution is to use another browser. However I really prefer Mozilla. Any suggestions?

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Why do I keep getting problems with Apple not recognizing my email password? This suddenly started and just reminds me of the mess that mobileme was. Calendar dev also is not working. What a complete mess!

Can't access my email - endless messages saying password is wrong, which it is not. Mobileme all over again. I now need to forward all Apple mail to GMail, which is how an email system should work. Same is true with the calendar - a complete mess on the integration with my Google calendar.
This is really, really a pain!!

OK this is Cormacin Texas - these idiots have put me through the hoops, effectively locking me out of the support forum. Anyway I've solved the problem - it took 3.5 hours, involved a trip to the Genius bar at the local Apple store, and one and a half hours escalating through the dial-in help support - which was about the only thing the Genius was good for.
What you need to know is:
1. Apple are having problems with their servers, but have not published the fact - we've all wasted a lot of time because these guys want to keep their Customer Sat scores high, I guess. (I'm starting to feel like one of their Chinese factory workers!)
2. This server problem is compounded by the fact that it only affects a few random servers
3. It in turn can lead to problems sending emails which require you to change your Apple Mail password, and in my case surgically remove bad records for various hidden email and library folders. (Good luck with that!)
So, a problem that they hide, a knock-on set of work that the problem indirectly causes, which they also hide, and a support structure that is geared for hardware, not the services that they are now selling.
My suggestion is to change your mail password using the web (icloud.com) access to Mail and see if that works. After that, remove and reset up your Apple email (Preferences) and pray that you don't have to join endless telephone answering lines where some of the folks will cut you off because they can't be arsed.
The two guys that finally helped me were brilliant, knew their stuff and could not have done a better job. The key guy was Danny - if you get him, your golden!
