In Windows7 (64bit) Firefox becomes unresponsive and the vertical scroll turns black before the crash.

I have about 30 crashes with the plugins disabled. This usually happens with two to three tabs open.

Hello Steve.
I'm looking at your information and I'm not finding your Firefox profile particularly healthy... You have a plugin called "My Web Search Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" installed. You also have your default search engine set to mywebsearch.com, which is not nearly as good as Google, which leads me to think you didn't really configure these on purpose... Is that correct?

  • I have adblock + ...when Firefox becomes unresponsive and I have to reboot, adblock disappears and I have to reinstall it each time. How do I stop this?

    There are times when Firefox becomes unresponsive and I have to close down and restart. Upon restart, adblock + is gone and I have to reinstall it. How do I stop this from happening?

    Hi,
    Do you have other '''Extensions''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''??

  • After about 5 seconds, Firefox becomes unresponsive and lagging

    Hi, I have a weird problem with my firefox. Everytime it starts, it will be alright for 5 seconds, then it will become unresponsive and lagging
    - if you hover through the menu toolbars you wont be able to see the indicator arrow
    - if you type something it is not responsive for a while, but then even when it works it won't show what you typed in unless you minimize the screen and then maximise it again.
    What I have tried that didn't fix the problem:
    - Removed and disabled all addons and extensions and themes
    - Uninstall firefox and reinstall (using both windows and revo uninstaller)
    - Going back to a couple of different versions
    - Try using a new windows profile
    - System restore
    Interesting fact is if I start firefox in safe mode, it will fix the problem. But if I go back to normal mode, even with all addons, themes, extensions disabled, the problem is still there.
    I have no idea what else to do and hopefully someone will be able to help
    Thanks!

    You can also try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • I just factory restored my iPod 5 touch and when I plug it into iTunes to restore the back up I made, iTunes becomes unresponsive and closes. But when I unplug the iPod, it starts working again. Using Windows 8 and iTunes is updated, please help.

    I just factory restored my iPod 5 touch and when I plug it into iTunes to back it up, iTunes stops responding and closes. This only occurs when the iPod is plugged in, when it isn't, iTunes works fine. I am using Windows 8 and iTunes is updated (as of this posting). Any suggestions on getting around this? Thank you.

    Also, when I put it through the Windows diagnostic, it lists an "incompatible program" WHILE my iPod is plugged in.

  • My scrollbar on the right side turned black, with the update, and I can no longer see the position marker to grab it and move up and down

    This didn't happen until Firefox 11.0. The scroll bar is there, with the up and down arrows, but everything in-between is black, and you can no longer see the mini-bar within to move the page.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • JScrollPane: Can the Vertical Scroll Bar go on the left?

    Hope you can help,
    Im using a JScrollPane within another one, i.e, I have a component inside a JScrollPane, and one of its components is a JScrollPane. This is fine and dandy, but the internal scrolled component gets pretty tall and wide, so people end up using the OUTER horizontal scroll bar to scroll to the INNER vertical scrollbar to scroll DOWN the inner component.
    What would be really nice would be to have the INNER scrolled component to have its scroll bar on the LEFT to save the above hassle.
    Is this possible with JScrolledPane?

    In JScrollPane (jdk1.3)
    public void setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation co)
    Sets the orientation for the vertical and horizontal scrollbars as determined by the ComponentOrientation argument.
    Parameters:
    co - one of the following values:
    java.awt.ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT
    java.awt.ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT
    java.awt.ComponentOrientation.UNKNOWN

  • The work area turns black as the playhead pass since upgrading to maverick. I want to revert to snow leopard

    I had no problems when I had snow leopard. I want to revert but don't know the version numbers

    octopi,
    My guess is the OP is using Logic Pro 8 and that version isn't compatible with Mavericks....(10.9.x)
    Only solution is to roll back to the previous configuration from backups... or start again from scratch installing OS X 10.8.5 or earlier... and LP8 (8.0.2 is the best version)
    Personally I would use OS X 10.6.8 and Logic Pro 8.0.2 as that was a very stable combination (If indeed, the OP has Logic Pro 8)

  • Firefox has becomes unresponsive and slow after I tried to install addons (not installed)?

    I recently format my computer and reinstall the windows 7, since this was the only solution that I know to fix the problem with Firefox (I previously had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it . This version was super fast. But becomes unresponsive and slow, when I tried to install the add-ons. I visited the official website of firefox and search for the addons, when I tried to install some addons, Firefox crashed. From then on, it has becomes quite slow and can't restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, It takes more than 5 minutes and becomes unresponsive frequently (after I typed each letter).
    I want to know whether this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable"

    Hey there,
    We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.
    #Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
    #Copy the '''5''' most recent Report IDs that start with '''bp-''' and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)
    [[Image:aboutcrashesFx29|width=520]]
    <br><br>
    After you've done this, you could try '''Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Hope this helps!

  • When I open gmail, I cannot use the vertical scroll bar.

    When I use the gmail website on firefox, the vertical scroll bar. As there is no horizontal scroll bar on the website, the vertical scroll bar layers over the top of the page resizer and makes the arrow button for the scroll unusable.
    Please advise.

    you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
    what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues.

  • Apple TV will stream music but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts.  During the unsuccessful connection process, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.

    Apple TV 3 will stream music via Home Sharing from iTunes on Mac running 10.6.8 but will not connect to iTunes library to stream movies or podcasts.  When trying to connect, iTunes becomes unresponsive and must be forced to quit.  ATV will stream movies purchased through the ATV but not those purchased through or ripped/copied onto the Mac.  I've tried fixes suggested for similar problems (rebooting ATV and Mac, signing out then back into iTunes Store) to no success.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    This is the most bogus example of Apple rip-off EVER.  They do not advertise this *feature* and yet expect people to invest in an Apple ECOSYSTEM?  My experience with Apple TV using a central media "server" (a dedicated Mac Mini) has been atrocious.  I continually get "Cannot connect..." messages and with typical Apple "it just works" mentality, there is no reason stated.  I HATE APPLE TV and I HATE APPLE.  Peddle your crapple somewhere else.

  • Firefox becomes unresponsive (has timeout error) when trying to print very long webpages (e.g. 100 pages).

    I need to print off one long webpage containing a whole load of customer invoices. For anything up to about 40 pages this is not a problem. However, if the webpage contains more pages Firefox is unable to cope.
    While data is being sent to the printer a little green progress bar appears. This bar continues for a while and then stops. Some sort of timeout error appears (i can't remember the wording) and firefox becomes unresponsive. I have to start task manager in order to close Firefox.
    I then have to open a different browser in order to print the long webpage.
    Anyone know of any settings I can play with to fix this?

    Hi,
    Please also try this setting: Windows start menu or Control Panel > '''Devices and Printers''', right-click the printer > '''Printer properties''' > '''Advanced''', and select '''Start printing after the last page is spooled'''. In this case you can also close Firefox after spooling is over (usually much faster than direct printing), and printing will continue.
    Also as a general case, if you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization, HIPS etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels - a genuine/original Firefox installer as well as all the installed EXEs (Application) and DLLs (Application extension) are digitally signed by Mozilla Corporation (right-click > Properties > Digital Signatures). Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time.

  • When Firefox crashes and I restart my Mac, it automatically restores the pages I had open before the crash. I don't want it to restore sessions. How can I disable that?

    When Firefox gets hung up, I do a force quit. Then when I restart my Mac, it tries to restore all the sessions I had open before the crash. It doesn't crash often but every time it crashes, it does the automatic session restoration. The crash happens when I haven't shut down my computer for a day or two; it's like Firefox just gets tired and needs to be refreshed. It doesn't seem to matter what windows I had open. I have a MacBook Pro 10.6.8.

    We close all applications before we power down the system.  There is nothing open before we turn it off yet the same boxes open when we turn it back on.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 Beta and everytime I tried to open up the browser, I get a message stating I need to reboot the computer in order to complete the upgrade; I've rebooted the computer at least 4 times. I even tried to download a previous version of Firefox and I am still getting the same message that I need to reboot the computer in order to complete the previous upgrade.

    I have a very similar problem myself. Error 42408. And my phone isnt being recognized. I have restored my phone with no luck. I completely uninstalled itunes and reinstalled and it worked then when I ejected unplugged and plugged it back in it had the same problem over again.. I have no idea what to do?

    have a problem with my MacBook Pro.5,3 and monitor.  Intermittently, the desk top screen becomes broken up into vertical sections, which appear in the wrong order, creating a haphazard picture.
    The Apple icon, usually at top left corner, appears in top right corner  in a strip including all that left hand.  When the computer is restarted, the screen goes back to normal.  But I have to move the mouse to the far left of the screen and then up until it reappears on the far right hand side of the screen so that I can hit shut down button.
    It seems to happen randomly though always on desk top and sometimes when I move mouse and computer switches on from rest mode.   My large flat screen is relatively new.
    The video card on this computer, which is approximately two years old, is Nvidia FeForce 9400M.
    Any help would be welcome as my usual source of assistance is not available and I am not well versed in workings of the Mac although I have used one for many years.

    That sounds like a Hardware problem.
    You may be able to confirm that with Apple Hardware Test, or make an appointmenst for a free Genius Bar evaluation.

  • Google Calendar will not print in Firefox 19.0 and adobe reader x when one presses the print button in the popup window.

    I have the monthly calendar on screen, click the more button, click print. Another window pops up and when I click the print button nothing happens. I am using Firefox 19.0 and Adobe Reader 10.1.6. The print function works in IE and Chrome.

    this solution did NOT work for me. I still cannot print a Google calendar page in Firefox. I can in IE. And I can print Gmail.
