Links in open tabs just flat stop working for a while with FF4.0

Installed FF4.0 a few days ago - consistent problem (but do not know how to reproduce it on demand):
I routinely have 8-10 tabs open on various forums and web sites I check regularly, but often I do not visit some of them for a day or more. Almost always now when I go to one of those tabs that I have not used for a while, none of the links work on it. Refreshing the tab does nothing, no links work. But the tabs I have been using recently still work fine, and new tab open and work OK. I have NEVER seen this problem before with any of the various FF3 versions.
If I play with it long enough by trying various links, refresh, opening new tabs, and whatever else comes to mind, it seems to finally wake up after about 15 minutes or so. This problem has happened to me at least once a day, every day, for the past week or so since I upgraded to 4.0. When it happens, it is not just one tab - it is ALL of the open tabs that I have not used in a while, but any that I have been regularly checking that day continue working fine. Very irritating.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • We can't use any of app in Myanmar ! If someone send me with Myanmar font, my phone stop working for a while . Can u help us ? Like .. Adding Myanmar font :)

    When I used iOS4.3.3 , my phone did not stop working for a while although I can't see in Myanmar font!

    Apple has not yet included a Myanmar font in iOS, and there is no way for users to add one.  You can search the app store for "myanmar" or "burmese" to see if there are some apps that may be useful for some purposes. 
    The best place to ask Apple to add new features is

  • Firefox will not connect or open. Mac OS 10.6.8. I was working with many open tabs when Firefox stopped working. Now it won't connect. I have uninstalled and downloaded it several times.

    I was working with many open tabs and firefox crashed. Now it won't connect to the internet at all.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • 'open new tab' function has stopped working, even after reinstall

    The 'open new tab' function has stopped working. I even uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled and no help.

    -> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click '''Check for Updates''' -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> in Startup section click '''Reset to Default''' button

    Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
    When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
    My pc is working with windos 8.
    Is there a solution?

    Hey there Rodney274,
    It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Several days ago some of the links in my Apple Mail messages stopped working. Specifically, the links going to some variation of "response beacon" don't work. All I see is a blank screen. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    * "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    * "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I cannot open lightroom "lightroom has stopped working" error message

    I cannot open lightroom "lightroom has stopped working" error message

    I'm having what sounds to be the same issue. May I ask what version you were running? I'm using 4.1... And more importantly, have you figured out a solution?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music

    I lost all my music and my itunes isnt reading that my ipod is hooked up to the computer

    Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music
    The answer to that is yes... Having the data on the device alone is a recipe for disappointment.

  • My camera on my iPad 2 has stopped working for the second time.

    My camera on my iPad.2 has stopped working for the 2nd time. Last time it just started working again after a couple of months.
    I have tried closing the camera app completely & also re-booting the iPad completely but to no avail.
    Any ideas anyone?

    You'll first need to have iTunes on your computer - from the summary page (the one that opens when you select the iPad in iTunes) it'll give you options for backing up and restoring it. On that page just select 'restore iPad' and that'll get it started.
    Hope it's just software then, those out-of-warranty replacements can get pricey.

  • X121e touch pad buttons stop working after a while

    Hello everyone,
    I have a lenovo thinkpad x121e.
    The buttons above the touchpad (for right and left clicking) and also the trackpoint stop working after a while (about 45 min). Although the touchpad itself works without problems.
    If I reboot the operating system (Windows 7, 64-bit version) everything works fine for a while and then the buttons and trackpoint won't respond again.
    It is always the same routine. Rebooting windows, everything alright, stop working, ...
    I am using the newest driver version and de- & reinstalling of UltraNav haven't solved the problem.
    Has anyone an idea what causes my problems with the touch pad buttons and how to solve it? (I guess it's not a hardware problem.)
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi again, li-lup
    I would recommend trying to use the standard Synaptics driver found here. Synaptics is the company that develops the UltraNav software, so there should be no loss of compatibility/features. I have witnessed several cases where this driver has helped others with mouse issues, so it may help yours as well.
    The first thing you will need to do is to remove the UltraNav driver from the system. To do this, open the Start menu and type Device Manager into the Search box, and then press Enter. Once here, double click on Mouse and other pointing devices, and then right-click on the UltraNav device. Naviage to the Driver tab and select Uninstall... from the bottom of the window. Follow the prompts to uninstall and then restart when prompted by Windows. Windows should install a generic driver that will allow you to use the TouchPad when downloading the Synaptics driver. 
    Hope it helps,
    Adam
