  • Keep getting firefox not responding for about 2 months now Can any one help me figure out why and fix this?

    I'm using windows 7 64 bit system, for past 2 months keep randomly getting firefox not responding. Wait about 10-20 seconds for all tabs to respond.

    This is a bad hardware error, Baseband Error. Some have reported getting through this error by Restoring iPhone with the SIM Card removed. Try that. Try restoring with different computer. Search Web some more for other thoughts.

  • When i try to use firefox i keep getting "Firefox not responding" why

    Every time I click on something I get "Firefox not responding" I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it is not going away and it is really getting me aggravated.

    I had the same problem, on scouring many forums i read a post about "McAfee Script Scan" and how it could cause conflicts.
    I went to "Tools",- "Add-ons" which took me to the Add-ons Manager
    Then "Extensions" in the left pane,
    I scrolled down until i found "McAfee Script Scan" and removed it,
    I then re-started Firefox and couldn't belive the difference, it was like going back to when i had BT infinity installed, like a new pc.
    I hope this is of use to other users.

  • I keep getting "Firefox Not Responding". It is getting really old!!

    I am getting really tired of getting a "Firefox Not Responding" while on the internet. I tried resetting Firefox AND Uninstalling and Re-installing. All those did was lose all my favorites for me. It still doesn't respond well.

    After a Reset, Firefox should have created a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. You should be able to recover your bookmarks from there once Firefox is running a little better.
    To rule out Flash as a potential culprit, could you try one or both of the following:
    (1) Disable the Protected Mode feature of the Flash Player plugin.
    The following pages provide different ways to do that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.
    (2) Set Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate").
    This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it, which will help distinguish Flash-generated issues from page load and layout issues.
    To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
    ''Any improvement in these scenarios?''

  • I just bought a new Gateway desktop comeputer that runs windows 8 and I keep getting Firefox not responding when trying to view websites.

    My internet connection is good, so why is Firefox not responding?

    This problem can be caused by pages that use Flash media. Here is some standard guidance that addresses the most common reasons for Flash problems in Firefox. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) If you have installed any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media, make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode

  • I keep getting 'Firefox not responding' messages. This puts me into 'refresh' mode in all Tabs. Help me fix this, please. It's constant, and makes Firefox almost unuseable.

    No further details, except that it keeps going into 'refresh' mode every other minute---games, emails, etc. All tabs and bookmarks.

    The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
    Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

  • I keep getting 'program not responding' errors.

    everything runs fine for about 10 mins then crashes (white screen). i have to either sit and wait till it catches up (about 90 secs) or force close the program and re-open it. doesn't seem to be pattern but, does seem to happen the first time i use a drop down menu on a new page. it also happens no matter what site i am on or what game i am playing (crashed twice so far trying to type this as well). this has only started since updated to version 5 and dont really want to go back to an older version if it can be helped. as far as i can tell everything is upto date. i have tried uninstall and reinstalled it. also tried install via IE as was told this might act as an update.

    I keep getting a "not responding" alert, followed by a stalling of all functions in Edge Animate. Why is this happening? All other software seems to run well (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc).

  • Installer - all day I get Server not responding Error code 207

    Trying to install CC Desktop - all day I get Server not responding Error code 207. Is this an internet performance issue or a real issue with the server?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the suggestion Romit. I believe the reported error code was installer app code rather than Windows error code.
    I have now had my broadband installed so have retried this install again, rather than on original public wifi. I'm pleased to say that it has all installed very well. I'm therefore pretty sure that it was an internet performance issue.
    Hope this helps anyone in the future.

  • Firefox is working ok by selecting bookmared tabs but not for any search just getting firefox not responding

    If a bookmark is selected the site runs fine .
    If i clicki on a searched file all i get is not responding.
    Never had this problem before i upgraded to 4.0

    Yes buddy, i have turned on the feature on every machine i have installed Firefox on. And every machine is in perfect healthy condition with 0 malware (for sure). And one more thing all machines have windows 7 installed on them. If what you are saying is true then there might be a conflict issue of Firefox with windows 7 which apparently Firefox guys might not be aware of. Its a pity that such a great software has small small bugs that these guys are not aware of and rectify.
    No offense, but its kind of weird when you come to think of it: 5 alpha phases, 12 beta phases, and god knows how many RC phases to follow prior to the release of Firefox 4. This shows that the software has so many bugs. They could have thoroughly tested the product before going into the beta phase. People are being used as testers and not their professionals who have made the product. This shows that the product has been made by them with random thoughts in mind or CASUALLY to put it straight.
    No offense but it seems that the team might be consisting of some casual or easy going or hippie engineers. Hence the long wait and small small unseen problems.

  • In Firefox, I keep getting "Server not found" error - CONSTANTLY!

    Two days ago I started getting the "server not found" error, off and on, daily. It is happening on both my desktop iMac 10.7, and my Windows 7 laptop. I keep having to hit the "Try Again" butting, and sometimes, several times, before a web site will finally launch. The only two extensions I have on both, are the Adblock Plus and the Last Tab Close Button, both of which, have been installed on said computers for months and months and months.
    I went in and changed a setting to the "auto detect proxy setting", hoping that would work, and it did not.
    I have Firefox version 21 on both computers, and it seems the problem started shortly after this latest Firefox update, and at the SAME TIME on both computers.
    I do not have virus protection on my iMac, nor on my Windows 7 laptop, at the moment, but I have run online software to check for anything, and no issues, so I believe, it is not that which is the issue.
    The firewalls on both computers are working fine and no issues there either, I have not changed any firewall settings, on either computer. It couldn't be the firewall, in my opinion, because this annoying error message started happening on BOTH of my computers, at the same time; I work on my iMac in the morning, then switch to my laptop in the afternoon, and same issue continues on both, and started at the same time, on both.
    Is there something broken in Firefox from this last update of the browser?
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to why both computers are having this issue, at the same time?
    I have not tried using I.E. yet on my laptop, I rarely have ever needed to use that browser, and I hate it, so I don't use it.
    Any help or suggestions, would be appreciated.

    I followed those steps, but clearly some steps are missing. How do you "enable each extension one at a time"? The only choices I see in Safe Mode are "disable" and "remove."
    And why is it that every other update to Firefox breaks Firefox? I've had to install add-ons just to be able to use it in Windows 8 with a touchpad.
    Now that I think of it, it doesn't even matter any more. After years of Firefox loyalty (even after Firefox users have dropped to 28%), I'm off to download Google Chrome (up to 52%). I'll miss Firefox, but not the on-again, off-again performance.

  • Keep getting a "not responding" message. It's getting worse by the day. Nothing seems to work, including resetting.

    I've been getting this message for weeks now. And this is the 3rd time I've asked for help with this and nothing is working. I'm thinking about jumping ship back to Internet Explorer. Can't believe I'm saying this since I've been with you guys for years now. Can anyone PLEASE help? Keep getting this damn "not responding" message.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • With 3g, I keep getting "server not responding" on my iPad2...what do I do?

    at home, where I do not have WIFI, I have been unsuccessful for the last day to get an internet connection via 3G. Getting emails is  not a problem, but when I try to access the internet, all I get is "server not responding".....do I contact ATT or is there something else I can try?  This problem appeared out of the blue.

    If you have a very slow 3 g signal, or worse, a signal so bad that it falls back to 2 g or edge, many servers will time out before you can get the data.  There are some apps that will let you test your connection speed, such as speed test. 
    If you are in a real congested area, or wayyyy out in the sticks, this may be the problem.  A good way to test is to goto a known good signal area, like a starbucks, join their wifi, and see if the pages work.  Then leave the wifi, but in a known good 3 g area, see if the it is better.
