  • 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.

  • After my windows 7 computer did automatic updates, everytime I click on a link I get a not responding message and have to wait almost a minute for the program to continue.

    Last night, my computer running Windows 7 premium home edition downloaded some automatic updates. I came in this morning to find that it had done a restart after adding these updates.
    Now, anytime I click a link or do something which requires a redirect to another web page, my program gives me the not responding message and I have to wait 30-55 seconds for the program to continue.
    I have Firefox 4 and it was running smoothly up until this morning, so I can only assume that whatever the automatic updates were, there is something in them that is causing this error. I do not know what updates were installed.

    I don't have that problem in Firefox 29 when I read Gmail or AOL (aim''.''com) webmail. When I click on a webpage link in an email I'm reading (example: http://www.tworivertheater.org/ ) the link opens in a separate Firefox tab.
    Are you saying this doesn't happen in outlook''.''com webmail and the link opens in the same Firefox tab as the email itself? I don't use outlook''.''com webmail myself. Hopefully someone will be along who does, or see [[Problems with email and how to find help]].
    It might help if you would confirm the type of link that is opening in the same tab as the email you are reading in your outlook webmail. If I misunderstood your problem, please explain it better.
    It might also help if you could furhish more troubleshooting information. Please do the following:
    *'''For Firefox 29.0 and above''': Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.

  • Firefox is slow to load and view pages and repeated "Firefox is not responding" message

    Firefox is quite slow to load and view pages with and I keep getting the "Firefox is not responding" message.
    I have the latest version, plus the latest Adobe Flash Player, Shockwave Player, etc.

    Note that Firefox 36 has been released officially.
    *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/36.0/releasenotes/
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I get constant "Not Responding" messages and Thunderbird freezes. I've done everything suggested on this forum. Nothing helps.

    I've done everything I can find in this forum - using Safe mode, changing McAfee settings, etc., etc., etc. I downloaded Thunderbird again and reinstalled it. Nothing helps. I can look at one email but if I try to delete it I get the "Not responding" message. If I try to go to the next message I get the "not responding" message. If I try to do anything while the screen is frozen, it goes grey and I get the "not responding" message. Short of changing my email viewer, is there anyway I can fix it.

    I have this problem too and it is EXTREMELY frustrating!!!

  • Every time anything happens on Firefox, I get a 'Not Responding' Message for around 10 - 20 seconds.

    For the last couple of days, Firefox has been acting strangley. It doesn't crash and need to be closed, it is just a lot of Micro crashes. Every time I change a tab, refresh a page, click on anything, do anything, Firefox stops working for about 10-20 seconds, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. When it happens, I get a message at the top saying (Not Responding) untill it fixes it self later.
    I had been quite happy with Firefox, but if this problem can't be fixed, I will be forced to find an alternative, which I dont like the sound of. Any help would be appreaciated...

    This advice did not help. What else could be wrong. This is becoming ridiculous!!!

  • When emailing from iPhoto I keep on getting 'server not responded' message.

    Would anyone be able to help with the issue I have with iPhoto. Every time I try to email photos directly from iPhoto I get this message 'server not responded'. I have the lates Mountain Lion OSX installed on MBA. Also, in addition to iCloud account I tried to add two more email accounts to iPhoto hoping that this might solve the problem, but it didn't. Would anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
    Thank you.

    Marius,
    set the mailer in the iPhoto Preferences to "Mail.app", not to "iPhoto"
    iPhoto > Preferences > General
              Email Photos using: Mail
    This way you will be able to mail your photos directly from iPhoto, but you cannot use the iPhoto cards; use the Mail Photo stationary instead, once the mail panel opens.
    For some reason mailing using iPhoto as Mailer works for me only, if I am mailing from my iCloud accoun,t and if Mail is set to use the iCloud account by default.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • I get a "not responding" message when changing websites or webpages.

    When I change to a different web site, or go to a different page withing a website very often in the upper left corner of my screen I see the message "Firefox is not responding" and my computer freezes up for a few seconds. Sometimes it freezes up for 30 seconds. This is extremely annoying. This happens quite frequently. I have tried re-installing Firefox, but the problem is still there.

    Using McAfee?

  • Firefox getting slower, not responding message regularly. Have used wisefixer to optimise system, any advice? Or just change brower.

    Problem has got worse since upgrade to latest version. System hangs with message Firefox (not responding).

    In other words, no fixes that require firefox to run or be open can be used. That is the problem, it will not run, but says it is running, even though it is not according to the task manager.

  • Firefox hangs (at anytime; nothing works/helps; keyboard useless) & constantly get no response/action; I get Firefox "not responding" message at top-left of window.

    Firefox hangs at anytime. Nothing works, (mouse/keyboard). Sometimes after 1 or 2 min. it works again, other times it freezes & I must re-boot (cut power & restore power) as keyboard or mouse does not respond. This happens at anytime, not when doing any specific task. Also have an unrelated question: I have have 2 Firefox icons on my desktop & 2 on my bottom toolbar, one reads as "Mozilla Firefox" & one as "Mozilla Firefox (2)". Is it possible I have 2 versions/programs installed & if so, how do I verify & correct this?

    You may somehow have installed a second copy of firefox. (I deliberately have multiple versions installed) Have you been trying the Beta or Aurora channels of Firefox ?
    You may have just copies the shortcut icons. I use XP but assume Vista is similar, and that if you right click the icons they will allow you to see the properties, that will include the path to the firefox program ''firefox.exe'' . Do both shortcuts point to the same file and location ?
    Another possibility is that one icon is for normal use, and another for safe mode, again something you will discover if you study the properties.
    For general information see

  • 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 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.

  • I have recently been having problems using Firefox: it continually gives a "Not Responding" message.

    I have been having problems using Firefox for the past few months:
    Whenever I log on, I get a "Not Responding" message, and Firefox "freezes." I then have to "click" my mouse several times to again be able to use Firefox - but only for a few minutes. Firefox then freezes again and shows another "Not Responding" message.
    Because of this repeated "crashing," I have been using I.E. as my browser, because it does NOT have any such problems.
    How can I FIX this problem with Firefox?

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.<BR><BR>
    Clear the Cache<BR>
    '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"'''''
    <BR><BR>and<BR><BR>
    Remove Cookies<BR>'''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy.'''''<BR>
    Under '''History''', select Firefox will '''Use Custom Settings'''.<BR>
    There is a button on the right side called '''Show Cookies'''.<BR><BR>
    If there is still a problem,
    '''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
    <BR>While you are in safe mode; '''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''.<BR>
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.<BR>
    Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

  • Every few minutes I receive a "not responding" message and I can do nothing until it goes away.

    Every few minutes (sometimes in less than 60 sec., Firefox will hang up. If I try to keep typing I'll get a "not responding" message and will have to wait until it goes away to continue. This happens consistently when going through my e-mail, but it happens at other sights, whenever I have to type an entry. I have tried disabling all my add-ons and it still happens. I have deleted Firefox and reloaded it and the problem still occurs. I am on the verge of going back to Microsoft Explorer because it is taking far too long to navigate in Firefox. I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, on a one-year-old Dell laptop with plenty of speed, memory and hard drive space.
