Repeated freezes on imac with Firefox?

I'm working with a brand new iMac, so it seems odd to see freezes. Firefox keeps sending a message to upgrade, which I always agree to do, but the upgrade hasn't registered yet. Could this issue be the problem? Anyone else out there experiencing this issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Greetings,
I haven't had any issues with FireFox myself lately.
Do you have the same issue with Safari? If not then issue is not with your computer, but with FireFox.
Try following Mozilla's basic troubleshooting.
You can try removing FireFox from your Applications folder and then re-download it: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/.
If neither of those help and the issue does not happen with Safari then you may wish to ask in the Mozilla support community as Mozilla makes FireFox.
Hope that helps.

Random freeze of iMac with Tiger 10.4.5

Hello, since a few weeks my iMac freezes almost regular but I can not say if it is due to an application or anything else as it happens complete random. Sometimes it happens after a few minutes, sometimes after hours but in 8 of 10 "on times" the Mac freezes. I can only turn him off...
Does anybody know if there is a way to track last actions and investigate what the reason for these freezes are?
Thanks in advance. KM
iMac 800Mhz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Open the Console app in the Utilities folder. Click on the Logs icon in the toolbar to open the sidebar logs list. You can examine the console and system logs as well as any crash logs to see if you can find anything helpful.
If your random freezes occur only when using a particular application, then there may be a bad preference file associated with that app. If the freezes are occuring almost always when you use Safari, then there are some things you can try. If the freezes are accompanied by a kernel panic alert, then there are other things to consider.
In the meanwhile it cannot hurt to do the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Login freezes on iMac with Lion after screen sharing with another mac.

I have an iMac 27" Late 2009 2.8Ghz Intel Core i7 upgraded with Lion 10.7 (11A511). I have screen sharing enabled on this computer, and I accessed the computer with a 15" MacBook Pro also running Lion of the same version. The screen sharing work. However, when I exited screen sharing on my MacBook, and attempt to login again on the iMac, the login is stuck after entering the password.
Is anybody else have similar issues?

I am having this problem as well. On a late 2009 MPB. I can login to the guest account with no problem and I can also create a new user, but I cant access any of my filevaulted files. This happened after Silverlight caused Safari and everything else to freeze and I had to hard reboot, It's almost like lion is trying to reopen those apps when logging back in and it can't. I reinstalled Lion and repaired disks and disk permissions from the recovery hd. Anyone else??

I am currently using a desk top imac with firefox as the browser. I need to access a website that requires 128 bit encryption. How do I increase bit encryption?

when I log into view my accounts, a pop up asks me to use either explorer or netscape with 128 bit encryption. since i use a mac, i do not have either. can i up the encryption using firefox?

How can I get rid of error 9705 on iMac with Firefox update, using Musicnotes site

I have been downloading successfully from musicnotes.com on this computer until the Firefox update. Help from that site took me through a whole process to be able to print out my purchase, which ended in the error message 9705. AppleCare says it is a Firefox problem. How can I fix this? (Time Machine was not running.)

I have this problem also and I've tried all the same things you have. None work. Only thing that works is disabling Java in Firefox preferences, which is a pain in the ass because most websites don't work properly when Java is disabled.
I don't know how to delete Java plugins or delete Java altogether and re-install. Is this possible? or wise?

Repeated Freezes & Crashes! 27" iMac 2011 with 256 GB SSD & 2 TB HD

I did a search to see how widespread the freezing problem is that I've experienced since the day I bought my 2011 iMac with SSD and 2 TB HD on September 6, 2012. I've had the machine in to Apple (no result); completed clean reinstall of the system after erasing the SSD, now at least 3 times; worked for over 3 months with what has become my own personal AppleCare senior advisor; had AppleCare Senior advisors capture data for analysis by engineers -- all to no effect. Before I left for a week-long business trip last week, the Senior Advisor and I were suspecting that Mail was my main culprit, but along the way various advisors have suspected video memory, Migration Assistant, Evernote, and numerous other sources.
This morning, I had the typical freeze; only, after forcing shut down and rebooting, the machine would not get past the grey screen with logo and spinning gear. The senior AppleCare advisor had me initiate yet another clean install. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. Is there ever a point where Apple decides that they will just replace a machine?
I have lost many libraries of photos and HUNDREDS OF HOURS trying to get this machine to work properly and have yet to have the machine I paid for function cleanly.
I'm losing my respect for Apple after 30 years of dedicated trust.
I should be getting a call-back from the Senior Advisor in 15 minutes. Can anyone share anything that would give me hope?

Ever? The short answer is yes. The somewhat longer answer is that deciding just when to do that is ultimately up to Apple.
If you are using any third party products that modify OS X, such as the Drobo or any anti-virus utility, then don't reinstall any of them after restoring your iMac to a factory new, unmodified condition. Such system modifications alter OS X in ways Apple cannot predict or control.
If your Mac operates normally without them, you found the problem.

Firefox repeatedly has no bookmarks, no history and will not let me add bookmarks. I have fixed this several times (deleting some sqlite file), but the problem recurs. It's enough to make me give up on firefox. Using iMac with OSX.

This problem happens upon upgrades, but may have happened between upgrades as well (happened so much I've generally given up on using bookmarks or history with firefox).
Thanks!

When you don't have enough storage to perform an operation, then you don't have enough storage. have you got the 16GB iphone?

Safari crashes or hangs requiring unplugging power to my iMac desktop running OS 10.8.2. This doesn't happen with FireFox. Also while trying to recover my old files using Carbonite I get messages saying there is no space on my startup disk 1 TB?

After replacing my burnt out original hard drive in my iMac 24 inch desk top computer with 1 TB hard drive I've had repeated problems with Safari hanging/not responding. This has frozen my computer and required me to unplug the power cord and restart. It doesn't happen with FireFox. In addition, while trying to restore from Carbonite I've had it hang five or six times never completing the restore. When the technician replaced the hard drive he installed OC 10.8.2. When restoring I get repeated messages that there isn't enough room on my startup disk to continue the restore. This obviously isn't the case because I have far more storage space with a 1 TB hard drive. Any ideas what is going on and how I can prevent these two problems from continuing? Thanks.

You've got an incompatible Logitech driver and java was incompletely uninstalled.
You may have a problem with the Wacom driver.
I don't know if fixing those things will help.
There also a few window server errors, but I don't know if they are causal.
If you can note the time of the hangs, that might help narrow it down in the logs.

Problem with Firefox freezing/crashing

Anyone having problems with Firefox. I have the latest installed on my MBP but it crashes frequently. Usually when trying to shut down, it'll just freeze. the computer is stable (26 days uptime and counting). The only issues I have are Firefox, Illustrator & Dreamweaver (rosetta apps)occasionally crashing and Firefox's frequent lock ups and crashes. I'm assuming when I can afford to cop the Adobe's latest, the Adobe/Macromedia apps will be fine. But I need help with this browser. Anyone figured out how to resolve this?
I wish Camino worked as universally well as Firefox cuz I'd just hope over to it. Advise me please.

this is really long and looks cryptic but here goes...

Can't update from version 3.6 to any newer versions? Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6!

Firefox freezes or closes with any version past 3.6! Have tried various suggestions from online support. I am using Windows XP Professional with all updates, Norton Security Suite, V5.1.0.2 updated. I am using Comcast. The following add-ons are installed in Firefox:DowloadHelper4.9.7, ExtendedCopyMenu(fixed version)1.6.1c and NoScript.
I tried installing V8.1 and it would either freeze or close. I have tried opening it in safe mode but Firefox would not open.
I have gone into the registry, removed all Mozilla and Firefox entries and reinstalled 8.1. Didn't make any difference. I really, really don't want to go back and start using IE.
Is this an issue for anyone else or just my computer which is about a year old? Sure would appreciate any help.
Regards,
Paleo

I can't... 10.6.1 says "Mac OS X update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements of this update" and any subsequent update attempt says it "requires version [before this one] or later"

          I had a problem recently with this (for my main user account only) and fixed it (I can't remember how!).
          But I should mention that I tried installing the 10.6.1 update from my other user accounts on this Mac
          with the same result.
          > or the PRAM battery needs replacing
          How do I check that? Is that the little watch-type battery that G3 Macs used to have?
I should also add that I tried one of the malware scan sites mentioned on this forum and it returned 'no virus found'.

I've got a new iMac with Mountain Lion OS. Created a slideshow complete with music in iPhoto. Every time I try to export to iPhoto slideshow folder, it freezes. Help!

I've got a new iMac with Mountain Lion OS. Have created a slideshow complete with music in iPhoto, but every time that I try to export it to an iPhoto slideshow folder, it gets halfway through and freezes. This has been going on for a couple of days. I've tried opening iPhoto holding down the option key, but it doesn't make a difference. Any advice, please?

Upgrade to v9.4.1 or
Trash the HP Plug in from /Library/Application Support/iPhoto
There are two libraries where this plugin might be
HD/ Library
and
HD/Users/Your Name / Library
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)

I continually have problems with Firefox freezing when I try to play Farmville or on Pinterest. Have tried suggested fixes.

I have an HP laptop; windows 7; core i7; wireless. I have been having problems for several months with Firefox freezing or not responding when I try to play farmville or add pins on Pinterest. I have tried the suggested fixes, without much luck. I un-installed Firefox and re-installed ; went thru the fixes for the plug-in etc. I don't know what else to tell you, but I am not very computer literate.

You didn't say what it is you tried, so we may end up telling you to do the same
things again. So please bear with us. 
I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and 
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this;
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. 
Clear the Cache 
'''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"''''' 
and 
Remove Cookies '''''Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"''''' 
While sill in safe mode, poke around a few safe web sites and see if there
is any problem. Then restart.

All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software

All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software. Any ideas of what is wrong and how to fix it?

10.7.5 is not the latest system, 10.8.3 is. However your message sounds like a Kernel Panic, does the message look similar to About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages? If so, then if you can get the machine to restart normally then please post the Kernel Panic Report which you can find by following directions in How to log a kernel panic. Please post back with the KP log, and we can take a look. However if the machine continues to not restart then my guess is a hardware failure suck as a hard disk or failed RAM in which case you should take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for repair.

White lines in Firefox on new 27 iMac with 10.6.2

I get white lines on images being displayed in firefox. These are high resolution images from searching google images. I did not have any trouble on my 20 inch imac with 10.5.
I can use Command + Shft + 4 to take a snapshot and the white lines are recorded. I am thinking that this may be a Firefox issue, but cannot find anything online and as there are many people complaining about the graphics cards in the imac 27 inch, I thought I would check in. I am also on the latest firmware.
Is anyone else having this issue?
I am on the latest version of firefox and apple updates.

That would be the best bet. I do not see SL as being the cause.
Thanks

I'm on Firefox 3.6.8 running on a 2008 IMAC with OS 10.5.8 yet every click to move pages, from start-up, to return to Home Page takes minutes, not seconds! If I use Safari that's greatly faster on this same set-up. How do I get Firefox to be as fast ?

== Some time back, beggining with Firefox updates, at least three, or more updates ago.

Thanks for the tip. I took the following steps:
1) Backed up the existing profile (presumably corrupted somewhere);
2) Deleted the existing profile;
3) Moved the existing Firefox to the Trash and downloaded a fresh copy;
4) Started Firefox (thus allowing it to create its default profile)
5) Copied the following files from the backup copy of the previous profile: places.sqlite, key3.db, signons.sqlite, permissions.sqlite, persdict.dat, cert8.db ---
I'm posting this from a Firefox browser, so I guess I'm OK now.

Repeated freezes on imac with Firefox?
