Loading websites is slow and firefox keeps hanging and nothing in the main help forum helps

Sites like youtube are slow to load and firefox seems to hang alot.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that 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 internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Firefox keeps "hanging" and sometimes crashes on my macbook. I've updated and went into safe mode, same problem. What next?

    I updated to the most recent form of Firefox and that didn't work. Then I restarted in safe mode, that didn't work. What else should I try?

    Hello graceajaen, you can 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)

  • My newest Apple TV work load the main page.  All I get is a page saying home sharing and settings. Even when I restart, restore, it goes back to this page.  It worked once since buying it then suddenly it stopped and I keep getting this page as the main p

    Hi,
    My newest Apple TV which I bought on Amazon finally arrived and worked for 2 days.  Now all of a suudden it is refusing to load the main page to select movies, radio, netflix etc.  All I am getting is a page saying homesharing with only an option to select Computers of Settings.  I have reset the Apple TV, restored it but nothing...it keeps going back to this page saying computers and settings.  I've tried updating the software as well but after 30 minutes or so it tells me software update was unsuccessful and to go to settingsand choose restore and the loop begins?  Is it permanently broken?

    I had the same issue Berry.  What worked for me was going to the General Settings and doing a reset from there.  I got all my apps back but had to re-enter all my information for iTunes, Netflix, Hulu etc...
    Hope it works for you too!

  • Firefox keeps crashing even after trying the suggestions in your helpful articles.

    I get this error message: Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
    Firefox crashes within a few minutes of being on Internet. Most Web pages crash. I need to open multiple tabs to work, and it always crashes soon after I start to work. This began after updating to 4. I replaced 4 with the older version, but the problem keeps happening. This is part of the crash message I get, but it's crashed several times & reports aren't exactly the same. I also disabled Silverlight plugin, another recommended solution. That didn't work either.

    That looks like a problem with your BitDefender AV software (BdProvider.dl, avcuf32.dll)
    You can try to disable BD extensions or check advanced settings for Firefox in BD.
    You can also try to contact BD for support.
    Quote: ''I ran the sessions in safe mode and it did not crash, so it is not my add-ons.''
    If Firefox didn't crash in Safe Mode then it is likely caused by an extension.

  • Firefox keeps crashing, and adobe plugin crashing, too?

    So, for a few days now, Firefox has been extremely touchy. It would crash at random times, but now, it crashes whenever I try to type something. It has gotten progressively worse. Also, I cannot play videos, as "Adobe Plugin has crashed". This isn't just once or twice. This is every video on every site. Please help!
    If it's of any correlation, I was getting bluescreens and such earlier.

    I am a webdesigner and developer. I always use firefox for building sites. One day I opened Firefox and from that day is crashing all the time. I open firefox and after 30 seconds will crash for sure ... also when I am building my site [http://www.betsearch.gr Stoixima] on my local enviroment is crashing too when I preview my site ... I unistall it and later install again and is keep crashing ... all the other browsers play good ...
    I am very upset cause I love FIREFOX ... specially when I am creating my websites ...

  • Apple80211agent keeps hanging and terminating

    I am unable to connect to the campus wifi where I work ever since I had my macbook air in for an unrelated (camera) service issue [service done at an apple store].  The main problem from what I can tell is something called: apple80211agent keeps hanging and terminating for some reason.  Can I repair/replace the error prone system file somehow?

  • Firefox keeps crashing and keep getting do not trust all sites on firefox

    Firefox keeps crashing and I keep getting this
    This Connection is Untrusted
    You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.mozilla.org, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
    Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
    What Should I Do?
    If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • My Nokia E5 keeps hanging and restarts

    My Nokia E5 keeps hanging and restarting on it's own. It is very frustrating especially when work is so busy and I need to use the phone frequently. Is there any solution to the problem??

    you need to perform a master reset on your phone since the normal reset wont do it. but be mindful that when you do master reset, it will delete all of the contents of your phone memory so backup your data first on the comp and use ovi suite, visit these website for assistance on backup https://www.nokia.co.uk/ovisuite and click on how to. then once the backup is finish, dial these code on your phone *#7370# and lock code is 12345. it will get rid off that error message and then restore your backup file again from the ovi suite.

  • I downloaded an update to Firefox last night, and now Firefox just hangs and won't connect. It started out okay this morning, but now it won't work at all.

    Even with a brand new computer, Firefox frequently hangs and/or quits spontaneously. I downloaded the latest update last night, and it worked okay for about a half hour this morning, then quit.

    Do you have Internet Security Software turned on in your Internet Explorer?
    I turned mine off, as I have Norton AV. Go into Internet Explorer and check to see if you have that on and try turning that off...and then try to get back onto FF. You may have to restart your computer, I'm not sure, as I'm not a techie. I just know that the Internet Security Software clashed with my Norton AV.
    Good luck!!!
    Donna
    PS Go with the user's suggestion above me, sounds the right way to go...thank God for the techies, eh? :)

  • Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff!

    Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up real fast and carries on going till it uses up all there is left. Most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff but not just neccessarily then! I find out it's happened when there's been an update after i restart and an extra webpage comes up with the particular addon/plugin/ff update. I have to restart most of time because nothing sorts it out. I'm using windows xp with the latest update of ff 13.0.1 it's not this version because it's been happening for a while. And it never started when i added a particular addon or plugin or when i added a new app to my pc either. Any idea as to what this may be or how i'd sort it out?
    Cheers

    Maybe disable hardware acceleration? This article should help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-ram

  • Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves?

    Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves? Once it renders the page it should forget about the page. Why does it behave when some link is clicked when there is no internet? It should just say internet not available or some crap. Why die, sulk, crash?? I don't get it! 3 series was much much much better!

    I should add, I've re-downloaded Firefox, but that doesn't look like it has helped any. Still get seemingly inexplicable crashes.

  • I've completed the new security download routine 3 times, and Firefox keeps telling me I need to download again.

    I've downloaded the new security patch 3 times in the last couple of weeks, put it in my applications and from there onto the dashboard, and Firefox keeps telling me that I need to download it again. This is crazy... Firefox can't recognize it's own application???

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.
