New MacPro 2008 freeze using Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Leopard 10.5.1
Hi
I'm using a new MacPro with Leopard 10.5.1. Surfing the web with Firefox 2.0.0.11 for three times I've had a monitor freeze with a lot of visual "noise". I must to restart the Mac. All the three times I was surfing on MySpace pages.
Hello TheAnt,
I don't think it is a Firefox problem. I normally use Apple's Safari, but I wanted to see if I had the same problem you seemed to have had posting a reply from Firefox. It works fine for me, as I am using Firefox right now. I still say you have a problem with a corrupted file in the program. I think if you just remove ALL of the files that are associated with Firefox, and you will have to look around because they are scattered around some, and reload the program again; all of your problems will go away.

Windows 7 64bit on MacPro (2008) Freezes randomly - audio in skype.

I am having these problems - I have noticed similar problem thoughout the forum and the web but not exactly the same and wondering if anyone has any ideas. I initially thought it could be a power problem - but surely the power pack can handle the above... Or possibly dodgy hard drive? (but it sounds fine...)
What is the power rating on the mac pros ( I read 1000W max somewhere!? )
List of issues.
1. Totally Random Freezes. Can happen any time. lots open or nothing open. Complete freeze - no mouse. no Ctrlalrdel - have to hard reboot. Oddly sound still plays fine - streaming or itunes for example
2. Mouse Freezes - up to 2 mins then comes back to life
3. Audio does not work in Skype. Speakers or the microphone through a logitech webcam... they work fine in windows ( the gain bars show up fine )

I just bought a new MacBook Pro. I managed to transfer everything from my older MacBook Pro to the new one. Both use Snow Leopard, the latest update.
My new one has the newest trackpad, the old one, no.
I'm have big problems using Text Edit on the new laptop--the curser does not go where I want it to go for editing, I cannot get the text to be a clear or as large
as with the older Laptop. Similarly, I cannot find a way to enlarge the menu bar. But the text edit is my biggest problem right now. I have reviewed all the preferences, particularly those in Universal Access, to no avail.
I finally gave up, used dropbox to send the text edit document to my old laptop, and continued with ease. But this is not the way it should work. I bought the
new laptop because the old one is showing signs of age.....
Is there something wrong with Text Edit while using the new trackpad?Thanks, Sig.
The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem. Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page. Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them.
(I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.) -
I just want to export my big "login" list as because of depending on firefox to remember it and automaticly retype it I 've forgetten many of them! so if I can move this list to my laptop it would be easier and greater than login to every site and fourm I've joined and re-join again and lose my member or I've to ask a new password from each site then go to my email and login then change the password to the old one, it would be very nasty to do this to all of my logins!.
and also can I move my installed extensions with there currently option to firefox in my laptop having the same version of firefox "3.6.4" or I've to install them again in the laptop?.
Note: both my computer and the new laptop running on Windows 7 professional OEM and having the same firefox versionSee http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_Manager#Backing_up_and_restoring_passwords

I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox to see if the problem would go away--no luck. It's not my mouse nor my keyboard. Internet Explorer does not have this problem nor any other application. When typing on websites, there is also a delay when the cursor is tabbed, and typing experiences fits and starts as well. I'm going crazy!
Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you. -

I have a MacBook Pro 5,4 running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. A website i like has a known bug with 5.1.10 and recommends I install a newer version of Safari or use Firefox or Chrome. Just looking for advice on the best approach. Thanks!
Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.
Be aware, Apple no longer support Snow Leopard v10.6 > www.ibtimes.com/apple-kills-snow-leopard-os-x-106-no-longer-receives-security-u pdates-1558393
See if your Mac can run v10.9 Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
If so, you can download and install Mavericks for free from the App Store.

I use Firefox 16.0.2 on Apple Leopard. Problem: when I use an url on a site, I am correctly transfered to the site of the url. But I can't go back again to the original site, on which the url was mentioned. the site has disappeared. Thanks in advance for your help!
You can also open the links in a new tab with a middle click on the link.<br />
That way you do not need to use the Back button, but can simply close a tab or otherwise return to the previous tab.<br />
Also make sure that you have the cache enabled and that the cache is working.<br />
Check the current cache usage on the about:cache page.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I'm using firefox 1.0.6 on a Mac OSX 10.3. Firefox is crashing and freezing frequently. I've heard that My firefox version is too old to update and I should get a new computer. I can't upload art to my website. News articles freeze constantly. Firefox shuts down when I go to certain websites. What can I do? Thanks.

We are a small eiting studio with an early 2008 MacPro (maxed out on ram) with a 4 Port SATA card, 2 27" 2013 iMac's, and we will be purchasing a new MACPRO once they're released. We work with Final Cut X primarily and would like to create a server solution to share media assets between the computers as well as insure our media assets are protected. Ultimately we see us moving toward an LTO tape backup solution for projects and we currently use the Acera 8 slot 32tb Raid for media storage. We use .DMG's to organize projects and we've had success networking the MacPro to one of the 27" iMac's and we can effectively mount projects off of the RAID on to both computers as long as the .DMG for that project isn't mounted on both computers. However we can really only run background processing (like rendering or inputing video) we can't really edit as it appears even with a CAT6 capabled connecting the two still isn't enough to be able to edit.
Ideally when the new macpro comes out we would like to explore the ability of turning the 2008 MacPro into our server and buy an attached storage solution but I'm unsure if this will work, what we would need to do to make it work efficiently (read fast), and what my limitations might be. Is it as easy as installing a new PCI 4port 1gigE card in the back and connecting our 2 27" Imacs and the to be purchased new MACPRO to that and insalling OS X Server?
Most of our projects are recurring and ongoing and require us to share our extensive library of live performances as well as insure its availibilty all the time without having to install the RAID set associated with those projects. We have about 80tb's of video we'd like to keep accessible.
Any help is appreciated and I would be glad to fill in any blanks if I left any.
Lastly, I might add that I'm not a fan of onebox solutions from the vendors, I believe that Apple has the products I need to do what I'm talking about and most 3rd party one-box solutions end up out-moded with in years of purchase.
Thanks,
Steve Wolfram
Elysian Post & Production, LLCGigabit Ethernet can be limiting for large file transfers, which usually segues into either 10 GbE NICs and/or (less desirably) link aggregation and/or an Xsan configuration with Fibre Channel SAN storage, if you really needed the I/O speed and scale.
If you're serving large volumes of data and it's the the server-to-host Gigabit Ethernet link that is the limit (as differentiated from the RAID array or related I/O link as the bottleneck), then you're left to either or both 10 GbE NICs and FC HBAs, whether via Thunderbolt HBA adapter or via FC HBA in a PCIe slot. (Thunderbolt is not an option on any current Mac Pro or Mac Pro Server I'm aware of. That'd be PCIe. Conversely, recent iMac systems have Thunderbolt and no PCIe. And there's no Thunderbolt to 10 GbE NIC listed by Apple.)
Discussions of the new Mac Pro are premature, beyond the information Apple has posted. (But I'd probably also wait a month or three after release of any new hardware and software, in any event.) -
Can't install Adobe Reader using Firefox on Windows Server 2008 R2
I am hoping someone can kindly help me out here.
Using Firefox I went to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ and clicked the download button and received the Getplus add-on to Firefox.
When Firefox restarts the getplus window opens but sits there and does nothing with the window remaining blank for ever..
Each time I try it is the same
I am logged into Windows Server 2008 R2 as Administrator but it might be a permissions problem as this is a new install of 2008 and seems pretty locked down.

Windows 8 freezing when using Firefox
When I'm using Firefox or Chrome browsers the whole entire PC is freezing.
Already posted my issue on the Microsoft Community forum, where you can read the details and the troubleshooting steps I tried:

Also I found another post here on the Mozilla forum, who had the same issue and he did not seem to solve it either: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975278?esab=a&as=aaq
Please help me to fix this annoying issue! Thx!Well, the MS site was a bust, wasn't it?
it would help to know how Firefox is configured.
Can you send me your troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having issues? This is a good part in troubleshooting.

Firefox has hardware acceleration set to "on" by default, but it's still young, which means some video cards or drivers might have problems with it. You can try to disable hardware acceleration to see if that alleviates your problems.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps for Firefox version 29.0 and above:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select Options for Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux. For Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Note that if this issue happens in both Chrome <b>and</b> Firefox that it may be a system issue and not a Firefox related issue,

Hi.
The mouse freezes when using firefox. No other programs are causing this problem, which stops immediately once I use CTRL-ALT-DELETE to delete the firefox task.
I have done a full uninstall of firefox after trying safe mode without resolution. I deleted the install directory to make sure that no files remained in the default installation area.radjrown wrote:
was only after migrating the old account that things went wrong.
Hmm...that's the last place I'd expect an issue?
EDIT: Wait... if you didn't migrate the first time you booted up the system in Setup Assistant than you may have created another Home folder. Check your /Users in Safe Mode.
Thought twice about cracking open a new MBP, but spent quite a bit of cash fitting SSDs in 2 desktops and a laptop 6 months ago, so didn't feel like coughing up another 600 USD again.
Yes, that what I thought and in concept it's a good idea but I'm actually quite hardware challenged myself, so wouldn't even dream of it
Again, there's a lot of savvy hardware folks here, so I hope you get some concrete help.

Please, I need help! Working on a MacPro 2.5 GHx, Intel Core 2 Duo, running snow leopard 10.6.7 --
Last week, Firefox asked me to upgrade, that’s when my troubles began -- Now when open Firefox, I get my default page, and then it freezes, disallows any page changes, the links die, no page scrolling --
The only unusual aspect to my previous Firefox configuration, was that I installed a NO SCRIPT thing to get past the New York Times paywall — and I don’t understand how to un-install that, assuming that’s the issue --
Have downloaded and re-installed Firefox, don’t think this has helped in any way, HELP please?!? Thanks, george.That would at least partially explain it.
These MacBook Pros drew more power than the power brick could readily supply, and so would only run at top speed when the power brick was supplemented by the battery.
Though the applicable tech note has been removed, it stated:
"If the battery is removed from a MacBook or MacBook Pro, the computer will automatically reduce the processor speed. This prevents the computer from shutting down if it demands more power than the A/C adapter alone can provide." -
The "Roman" font is not being recognized in Firefox 4.0. As such, I cannot read any previously posted topics or post any new topics on websites using this font.
I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.
