My FF on Windows 7 freezes on every page for 3-5 minutes (no kidding). Reinstallation does not solve the problem. Thanks for suggestions!

FF18, Win7 64bit edition. Extremely annoying and basically makes it impossible to use FF completely.
Like others mentioned, the webpages probably contain Flash -- but it is impossible to circumvent this these days.

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*downgrade the Flash player to version 10.3 or 11.2

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.

  • Comcast just replaced my cable modem/wireless router.  All devices connect properly except my iPhone 4.  It shows itself to be connected to the network, but it does not load any web page.  Resetting the iPhone does not solve the problem.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your response.
    I had rebooted the router (several times, actually), to no avail.
    I do not know the answer to whether MAC filtering is enabled on the router.  Have tried to find info about that, but unsuccessfully.  Router is an Arris TG852G, supplied by Comcast.  I would be surprised if MAC filtering were the issue, since in addition to the computer, we have successfully connected several other devices to the wifi, namely an iPad, a Android phone and a Kindle Fire - all able to access internet pages through the wifi, and all without a need to add the device to a MAC address whitelist.  To add to the mystery, the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone 4 to my network and access web pages.  He was unable to connect my iPhone, however, after trying for some time.
    I seem to recall reading somewhere that an iPhone cannot connect to a wireless "n" router, only "b" or "g".  The Arris router is described as a n/g/b compliant router, and as noted the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone, so don't know why that would be the issue here.
    By the way, my iPhone does connect wirelessly to my network at home.  This difficulty is at a second home.
    Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

  • HT1689 I can reach the iTunes Store from my iPod Touch, but it will not open on my PC running Windows 7.  Message shows that iTunes has stopped working.  This happens every time.  I have updated iTunes Software.  Will not solve the problem.  What is wrong

    I have uninstalled iTunes several times and reinstalled it on my PC running Window 7 with all updated loaded.  When I click on the iTunes Store Box, Nothing happens except for a message that reads:
              iTunes has stopped working.
    The following items give me a choice, but no answer comes up.  The computer will shut down the website.
              "Check online for a solution and close the program"
              "Close the program."
    There is an item below the box that is selectable for View problem details.  When clicked a long list of items show up.  I have listed some of the problems as written, but I do not understand them.  I know the iTunes Store has been available on earlier versions of of iTunes but is not on this version.  How can we go back and download an earlier version of iTunes?
         Here are some of the Problem Details:
         "Problem signature:  APPCRASH
         Application Name:     iTunes.exe
         Application Version:  11.0.1.12
         Application Timestamp:  50c8fc7e"

    I had this exact same problem.  I found this fix and it worked for me. 
    Step 1:
    Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. 
    Step 2:
    Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
    Good Luck.

  • Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

    Hi Robbie,
    The editor program is NOT under the organizer path as you mentioned in your last message. The actual editor program is at the location I gave in message #1 i.e. as follows
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    The one under the organizer is actually the Welcome screen which you have probably set up to go directly to the editor.
    If you go to the Open With screen I showed in message #3 and browse to the actual editor as given above, it should show up in your list.
    If it doesn't, then Windows is playing up again - and we have to take extra steps.

  • I recently updated to latest version of ITunes for Windows and now takes 2 - 3 minutes to open and does not see my Iphone?  Any suggestions?

    I recently updated my ITines software to version10 and since the update it doesn't recognise my Iphone/  It also takes 2 - 3 minutes from clicking the icon to firing up the software.
    Is anyone else having this problem and how was it resolved?
    Thanks

    Actually, Chris, I found that page yesterday on my own doing a search, before I wrote my post.  After your instructions didn't work, I found that page and tried deleting the iAdcore.dll and that did not work.  When I tried to open it said it didn't have the iAdcore and could not be opened.  There was no QTMovieWin there to delete.  I again uninstalled everything in the order listed on this new page, because there were 7 things to uninstall (not 5 as your last page suggested).  I found that I had iCloud so that was deleted in the proper order.  Did not have MobileMe on the computer.  Also deleted Apple Application support, which wasn't on your list either.  I restarted the computer.  I looked for any files on drive C program files as indicated, and did not find any of those files.  I went to the iTunes page and downloaded the latest version yet again (maybe the 5th time?).  And I got the same notice:
    "The  iTunes Library.itl cannot be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the iTunes folder in the music folder."
    I went to that iTunes folder in the music folder there are a number of iTunes library folders and none of the open except one.  The ones that don't open give me the same dialogue box as above.  The last folder opens to a page of codes, I guess that's what it is.  Gobbeldy gook to me.  But that folder is listed at the top in the URL as itTunes Library.xml.  I don't see any .itl.  Is that the folder I need?  And how do I get that??
    I don't know if that last paragraph is significant, but I thought I'd include just in case it is.
    BTW, can I just download an older version of iTunes?  And how can I find it?  I still have the old version on my old computer which is at home.  Not sure how to get it from that to this one.
    Thanks for hanging in there with me.  Perhaps there is someone else who could help if you can't figure it out.

    Thank you, the step where I went to tools, options and then selected a product for the application worked. It was a problem with .pdf files. I don't understand how all of a sudden it changed from what had worked all along, but, I changed it back from xps viewer to adobe and all is working fine.
    I appreciate your help!

  • A pop-up window accesses an URL comes up with a "Please Wait" message but does not show the document it is meant to access. this worked fine in the previous version of Firefox. Please help,

    the URL in question has been allowed in Pop-up blocker.
    This is a major problem as I am trying to access Contract Notes and it is therefore extremely important that i get a very quick solution to this problem.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • Firefox in Windows 7 under a proxy do not show many icons and images in Google applications. Reinstall it does not solve the issue.

    Google applications (spreadsheet, ...) does not show the icons properly.
    Only when hovering over the buttons, the tip appear and you can see what does the button.
    Best regards

    Hello all
    Thank you very much!.
    I have tried the solution and it worked perfectly, both for Google search "Images" tab and for Google Docs icons. The problem was in the Google images and icons permissions.
    Other person in my company had the same problem and now it is solved. You have killed two birds with one stone (^_^).
    Thank you

  • Since the latest update to OX I have been unable to download the contents of some emails because pages does not support the font they are created in. Is there a fix for this?

    Hi, since I installed the latest update on my Mac I have been unable to open the contents of some emails because it is saying that pages does not recognise the font. For example it is saying 'some features aren't supported, the font Calibri isn't available on OS X. It was replaced with TrebuchetMS' This means that I cannot open letters from my daughters school. Is there any way round this other than getting rid of this nightmare MAC and going back to Windows!?

  • Has anyone solved the problem of sending Pages docs to Windows machines?

    I am trying to create a business newsletter that can be emailed to anyone who wants it. I'm working with OS X 10.4.10 and Pages. My business partner, who works on a PC, can't read a Pages doc, so I converted it to a pdf, and Windows won't read that, either. So I exported it as a Word doc, and he can read that, except the colors aren't true. What kind of a program creates files that pdf readers can't view? And why did I spend my money on Pages if it can't create a file everyone can read?

    Strange, I've been emailing PDFs with no problems at all.
    I am the only MAC-MAN in the office so all my work goes to 100% PC "market".
    A wild guess - are you using Apple Mail app? If so, make sure the "Send Windows friendly attachments" is selected.
    Do not encrypt the PDFs.
    Do not include EPS graphics (just in case...)
    JPEGs rather than TIFFs (dunno why, but better safe...)
    And most importantly, make sure the end users have the latest Acrobat Reader!!!
    You would be surprised to find how many "incompatibilities" boil down to obsolete software being used.
    To give you an example, I did an internal use web page using a FLASH animation, and several users sent me VERY ANGRY emails that the "MAC crap" doesn't work on their computers, well, guess what, for security (MS-security, not REAL security) FLASH was disabled on the network computers, nuf'said!
    Failing all above, send HTML.
    Hope you solve the problem. Keep us posted.
