Internet Explorer frozen

I have Safari as my default browser. When I try to use Internet Explorer a window comes up with finder and a red and yellow apple in the upper left hand corner. It says Internet Explorer in the right hand corner. I try to get into MSN but the page is blank. I cannot close the window and have to force quit in order to clear the screen. I am new to Apple and not particularly computer literate.

Hm...are you an Admin user, or a non-Admin user, and did somebody else setup your Mac for you, possibly restricting what you can do with it?
If you open System Preferences and look for the Accounts icon; if it's dimmed, then you're not an Admin user. If not, click it and look at the accounts listed to see if yours is an Admin account.
If you're not an Admin user, then you need to ask the person who setup your system for you to authenticate with their Admin password so that you can remove that icon from the Dock.
Hope this helps,
Mulder

  • Hotmail Frozen in Firefox; Not Frozen in Internet Explorer

    I've always been able to use Hotmail in Firefox with no problems whatsoever. And it was fine just a few hours ago. But when I tried to log back in after having had my computer off due to a power outage, I had problems with Hotmail. I can log in fine, but when I get there I can't do anything. It's completely frozen. The only button that will work is the logout button. But upon clicking to logout, it tells me it can't log out. It tells me I don't have cookies enabled, even though I do. I don't have third party cookies enabled, but I've had third party cookies disabled for awhile now and never had issues with Hotmail. I can get into Facebook, no problem. And I can get into Hotmail with Windows Internet Explorer and nothing seems to be frozen there. I just hate IE so much, especially since I'm used to AdBlock Plus. Please fix this if you can soon! I saw in the Windows Live forums that someone else had this issue on April 7 and all the Windows person could tell him was to contact Mozilla. How irritating and unhelpful. I tried restarting my computer to install Windows updates; they installed, but that didn't fix the problem. I have had it fail to sign out before as it does here and I don't recall how or if that was resolved. But I've definitely NEVER had Hotmail frozen while trying to view my messages. I have the stop script thing all the time with Hotmail and even that has never caused anything to freeze, to my knowledge. Thank you for your help! (I tried several times to use the Report Broken Website thing from a Firefox browser, but it wouldn't submit the report.)

    sn127w.snt127.mail.live.com
    This is the address of the site of the server. Can log in to Hotmail, delete messages, but NOT open any messages...! What's up w that?

  • Clicking on a link that opens Internet Explorer slows all applications to near frozen. Solution?

    Firefox is my default browser. Every time I click on a link that opens in Internet Explorer (I. E.) , my entire system slows to near freezing. All operations, including shut down, take forever. The only way I've found to resolve the issue has been to shut down, and reboot. I've tried to avoid clicking on I. E. links, but some websites (especially some customer service links) seem to be available only through I. E.

    Hi,
    Usually if such programs are hard-coded to look for and open IE, then setting Firefox as the default browser ('''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u Advanced] > '''General''') may not be effective. You can try to contact the providers and request an update to their programs/services. You can also try to deselect Internet Explorer in Windows Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components (this only removes the references from the Start menu, other locations and hides the IE executable, doesn't uninstall IE).

  • I can't open my hotmail emails when I use Firefox. I have to go on Internet Explorer. I see other people are having same problem. What is up. Could it be one of the updates in the past week

    -> [[Problems using Facebook in Firefox#w_cannot-load-games|Cannot Load Games]]
    -> Also try the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
    * [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]
    * [[Firefox never finishes loading certainwebsites#w_lower-the-max-number-of-http-connections|Lower the max number of HTTP connections]]
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Firefox 5.0 on windows 7 freezes frequently. Please fix soon this problem because i don't want to migrate to internet explorer.

    I have firefox on my desktop together with Internet Explorer and Chrome. My favourite browser is (of course) Firefox. Today i upgraded from firefox 4.0 to 5.0. Since then Firefox has frozen a lot. I think I'd better return to 4.0 unless you fix the problem soon.

    I have the same problem. It freezes often and it takes something like 30 seconds or more to start working again (stops being frozen and in most cases works fine without a restart but it's extremely irritating!)

    Keep in mind that to run a form from the forms builder (including test form) you must start the OC4J instance.

  • How can I open just one of my several homepages in the current tab? You can in Internet Explorer but can only open all at once in lots of tabs with Firefox?!?

    Within Internet Explorer you can click on a little arrow next to the homepage icon and a dropdown appears with a list of your homepages (I have 5). So if I want to quickly check my facebook or e-mail I can click on it and then on whichever I want to visit (both are homepages). It is much quicker than using bookmarks/typing it in and I don't like the 'permanent tab' feature as I don't want them always open. Does this feature already exist?

    You can create a folder with the home pages by using "Bookmark All Tabs" to open a specific page.
    You can place that folder on the bookmarks toolbar or use the Bookmarks menu button that you can find in the toolbar palette to get access to that folder easily.
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.
    * "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.

  • Remote Panel and Internet Explorer

    Hello. I have a problem with a Remote Panel and Internet Explorer. I create a measurement system in LabVIEW. It�s composed of a main front panel and a few subVIs with independent front panels opened from main Front Panel when I press appropriate button. As a local system everything works ok but I try to create a web version of this system. I decide that I can use a Remote Panel. In Web Publishing Tool I was creating a web page for each of Front Panel. I try to have the same functionality as in local system, so when in Front Panel (opened in Internet Explorer window) I press appropriate button I want to open secondary Internet Explorer window with a subVI inside. And now I�m stuck because I can�t open this secondary window in a network w
    orkstation. Has anyone have an idea how can I do it?

    I think you have two options. You can open most modal subVI panels
    directly on a remote machine. The popup panels won't be in a web page,
    but it will work with few changes.
    A second approach would be to change the app slightly. The buttons that
    launch the subVIs will turn into URL links. The links will open a web
    page with a different embedded panel.

  • How to install Adobe PDF toolbar in Internet Explorer after uninstalling IE 10 and installing IE 9

    Hello.  I need help installing Adobe PDF convert web page to pdf toolbar to my Internet Explorer 9.  I uninstalled Internet Explorer 11 and 10 because I could not open pdf files in IE 10 or 11 -- trying to open pdf documents froze/locked up Internet Explorer and I had to use Task Manager to exit Internet Explorer every time I tried opening a pdf document.  I have downgraded to IE 9 with the hope that I will have better luck.
    I am using Windows 7 operating system.  I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro installed on my computer.
    Now that I downgraded to IE 9, I've lost the Adobe convert web page to pdf toolbar.  It is not even in my choice of add ons in Internet Explorer when I go to Manage Add Ons.  How do I get the Adobe toolbar add on back?
    I lost my Adobe Acrobat X Pro disk so do not have that to help me in any way.  What can I do?
    Your help is greatly appreciated!

    If it is an issue of the AA X disk, you can download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. Be sure to create a replacement CD in case it is not available in the future. You will still need your S/N for any reinstall. You can usually get that from the Adobe site as long as you registered Acrobat (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html).

  • Why my Firefox is to slow?? Same as GoogleChrome?? Only Internet Explorer is working good! And i want to know Firefox its to slow open web sites! I want to use Firefox but i do no not wht to do is to slow! help me pls!

    Srry ill explain very bad myself there! The problem is at the time the Firefox its connecting to a "X" website, it takes to much time get in on the website =/, I got the same problem with GoogleChrome!

I turned off the avira and firewall of the windows 7 64 bits and didnt work too. Help me what can I do?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • Por que novas abas a partir de um site (yahoo) não abrem e não dão mensagem de erro? Abro notícia em nova aba, fica em branco. No internet explorer abre normal.

    Abro a página br.yahoo.com normalmente, mas quando abro uma notícia em nova aba, a nova aba fica em branco, apesar do endereço eletrônico aparecer na barra de endereços. Não aparece nenhuma mensagem de erro. No internet explorer abre tudo normal. Eu já desinstalei e reinstalei o Mozilla. Eu já Restaurei o firefox pelo site de suport do Firefox. Quando eu navego com o internet explorer não dá esse problema.

    Olá,
    '''Execute o Firefox em Modo Seguro''' para verificar se o problema é resolvido. O Modo Seguro é utilizado para resolução de problemas, ele desabilita a maioria dos add-ons.
    Existem duas maneiras de iniciar o Firefox em Modo Seguro:
    #Segure a tecla '''Shift''' quando for iniciar o Firefox através do menu Iniciar ou por um atalho.
    #Execute o Firefox normalmente, vá até o menu '''Ajuda''' e em seguida clique em '''Reiniciar com extensões desativadas...'''.
    ''Quando o pop-up for exibido, selecione "Iniciar em Modo Seguro" ''
    '''Se o problema não ocorrer no Modo Seguro''', uma extensão pode estar causando o erro e você precisa descobrir qual é a correta. Por favor, leia o artigo [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] para determinar isso.
    ''Para fechar o Firefox em Modo Seguro, basta sair normalmente e aguardar alguns segundos para reabrí-lo.''
    ''Quando você descobrir qual o problema, por favor mande um retorno! :) Isso poderá ajudar outros usuários que tenham o mesmo problema.''
    Obrigado e conte conosco!

  • How do I stop Firefox from creating untitled web pages when I try to send email from a web page. The only way I have found is to turn the computor off and then reboot. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer

    Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.
