S12 freeze-ups with Firefox

I am experiencing random but recurrent freeze-ups using Firefox - to the point where the only thing that works is holding down the power button.
The machine is a VIA-based S12, factory-installed XP, to which I have added 1 GB of 667 MHz RAM salvaged from my wife's Asus (to upgrade her RAM I had to remove and replace the existing DIMM, so I simply transferred it to the Lenovo).
The scenario is always the same. A page loads and I scroll downwards using either the keyboard or mouse (using the scroll bars and mouse buttons, or the mouse wheel ... doesn't mattter). Just as the screen starts to move upwards, the machine freezes completely. The only reaction I ever get is the system "beep" when my frantic efforts to recover end up filling the keyboard buffer.
The weird thing is, if I reboot and reload the same web page - it happens again! On another session I can visit the same web page without incident. I first thought my Firefox installation was at fault. But that doesn't make sense because it's a _portable_ install that I am using without problem on 3 other machines - including some of the web pages that lock up.
I have run Memtest numerous times and no memory errors are ever demonstrated. No other apps cause this type of lockup. Other web browsers (IE, opera), image editing, video playback.Just scrolling down using Firefox.Event log shows no ocurrences that correspond to the freezes.
Besides using another browser ... any ideas? I am leaning towards a video driver bug but see no reports of such being identified in this model.

If it's only happening in Firefox my feeling would be the problem lies in Firefox and not your machine. Have you tried completely uninstalling and then re-installing it?

Brother HL-5240
I bought a Brother HL-5240 laser printer a couple months ago and I'm really happy with it. A couple minutes ago I went to print some stuff from apple.com, then I went to wikipedia.org to print out some pages there. Immediately after clicking "Print" in the print dialog box, I got everyone's favorite spinning cursor.
Huh... weird. I've never had a problem with this printer. I wait a little while, but Firefox is completely frozen up, which is ok since I accidentally printed the normal version and not the "printable version." I force quit and reopen. I try it again, this time with the "printable version" with the same result, spinning cursor, everything frozen. Force quit, reopen.
Now I decide that I'm going to try to save it as a PDF from the print dialog. Again, same result! Everything is frozen!
Time for Safari, it prints everything just fine.
Anyone else run into this utterly strange problem?

hello, firefox 19 has introduced its own integrated pdf viewer - if you want to switch back to the plugin you've used before to view pdfs just go to firefox > options > applications & scroll down and define the default action for the '''portable document format (pdf)'''.

Hangs, severe slowness and lock-ups running Firefox 27.0 / 28.0 on Windows XP / Is it possible to block plug-in container?

Been experiencing severe slowness and lock-ups with Firefox of late, which ends with a sudden drop in memory usage and me having to repeatedly shut it down through Task Manager. I have created a new profile and disabled hardware acceleration. I have tried disabling all plug-ins and extensions, yet I noticed that at times (not always) plug-in container was still an active process, which I don't understand. Why would it be active when there are no enabled plug-ins? I also noticed that when plug-in container is not active (showing under Processes in Task Manager) I do not have this problem and Firefox runs normally? I need to block plug-in container. Please help.

I have just tried on Windows 7 and used process explorer on that. I would expect the results to be displayed in a similar manner on Windows XP.
Plugin-container is shown as being run from Firefox, and in turn if I mouse over or left click the line for plugin-container .exe then under ''command line'' it tells me what is running, in my case at this instance it is Flashplayer and so it displays
.... \Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_12_0_0_77.dll .... plugin ....
It is identifying it is FlashPlayer
The worry with your apparently unknown operation is that within the plugin-container it may be safe but if plugin-container is disabled maybe it could be malware and cause a problem.

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...

How do I just remove the current update to 3.6.12 and go back to an earlier version as I can not take the continual freeze ups ever few mins.? If this continues I will remove Firefox totally and switch to another browser I can not take this anymore.

I can NOT take the continual freeze ups of my entire browser even worse when updating a page let alone just opening email. I closed the browser and have had to use even just microsoft or Google since this Firefox has gotten so horrible...
I clear my history and my cache so many times a day I can not keep track anymore and that is insane to have to do it as many times as I am even worse that it does not help in the least!
I have used Firefox for years now but if I have to remove it and switch to a different one by the days end I will and I will post in Facebook to all my friends who I had switch to Firefox what and why though some have already just switched to other browsers.

First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion. To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4. What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content. Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems. You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults. A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install. If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

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.

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.

Firefox freezes (along with any other program I might have running) a minute or two after I have started my session. After a minute or so, it's O.K.

Firefox freezes (along with any other program I might have running) a minute or two after I have started my session. After a minute or so, it's O.K. I have disabled all off my extensions and the problem still persists.

Hello Meg, the phone allowed me to stay on long enough to download a new app but then shut down the app centre and returned to the home screen.
Was there a specific "fix App" for this?

Random freeze ups. Must reboot each time.

Random full screen lock with no errors reported using the hardware test disc. Mouse can move on screen (arrow or beach ball) but no clicks or key presses of any kind cause a response. The clock freezes instantly as does video playback. Audio dies altogether (or starts looping) within a few seconds of freeze-up but not quite instantly like screen (except mouse cursor) does. The only way out is by holding power key for 3-4 seconds until MacBook Pro shuts off. Force quit popup box never comes with commandoptionesc. Even right now I'm holding my breath that I can post this before the next occurrence since it has become a daily event.
This just started about 30 days ago. Never had this happen in Tiger but probably unrelated. My thing is that I'm out of warranty by self-upgrading the internal hard drive awhile back. Hoping someone can help with a diagnosis. At first thought maybe it was time machine or boot camp causing the freeze ups, but I ruled them out. Although left and right fans almost always stay at 1k RPM, I'm now wondering if maybe there's a heat issue or video card (ATI) issue - but those are really just guesses. I've done a clean install and recovered only some files back from time machine. I've done a PMU reset and tried the factory ram only. Nothing seems to work, plus booting from the hardware test shows no hardware errors. Booting from leopard to run fix disk and permissions also did nothing. Keeping in mind that I've voided my warranty can anyone suggest next steps? I'm not great at understanding console messages but nothing seems to show in logs at exact time of freeze up that I can tell. For the record Software updates says I'm current including firmware stuff too. Never had an issue like this since OS 7 when multi-finder was introduced. This is making me nuts, so if you'll indulge me, here are my machine specs...

I think the fan defaults to 1,000 rpms. Only thing I've found that seems to help is keeping the fan speeds at about 3,000 rpms. No more freeze ups (except one) when I keep the fan speed up a bit.

Firefox was not running smoothly, so I unistalled it and any every folder that had anything to do with Firefox or Mozilla, then reinstalled the newest version and now it says that it cannot open because "a copy of firefox is already open." What now?

I am running Mac OSX 10.5 and have never had issues with firefox. Then I noticed it starting to run much slower and having issues freezing, yet if I used safari there were no problems. I decided to uninstall firefox and all of the folders that go along with it to get a clean restart with a new download. Everything seemed to download fine, but when I attempt to open firefox it just opens a warning that says "a copy of firefox is already open" and my only option is to close the program. Yes, I have quit ALL applications and even restarted the computer to make sure nothing is running first.
This may be completely unrelated, but another issue nonetheless, shortly before I started having issues with firefox, it no longer would go to the hotmail login page to check my email. I didn't change any settings, but it would not load that webpage even though every other page works fine. I know it is not a problem with the hotmail site because every other computer in my home will go to the site and login, plus I can get into my email by going to MSN and logging in from there.

Make sure that you haven't left a profiles.ini file.

Takes a long time to load then freezes up often(firefox not responding)

this is on home computer not this laptop (yet) . slow to change pages or just stops all together.freezes upon change of web sites.

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Issues with Firefox hogging resources...

I have several issues with Firefox intermittently consuming 99-100% of my CPU memory. Now, let me preface this by saying that I am NOT an advanced user, and can only tell you what I see on things like the Task Manager and such. Furthermore, I know that you guys know about some of this stuff - at least, I am pretty sure you do - but I am nowhere near comfortable enough to mess with any command line... stuff... in Firefox. I just am not knowledgeable enough about the program, and I don't want to 'break' it (lol). Anyway, down to business. Here are the issues I am having:
1. Upon startup, Firfox takes between 30 seconds and a minute and a half to load 5 tabs. When I first downloaded and installed it, these same tabs took less than 10 seconds to load. I have tried clearing my cache and history but nothing seems to help. If it matters, I have been using Firefox for going on 5 years now.
2. Once the program has loaded, '''any''' keyboard shortcuts I use in it (ctrl+a, ctrl+c or v, alt=tab, etc) cause the CPU memory usage of Firefox to spike to 99 or 100 percent. In affect, it freezes my computer for anywhere between 2 and 30 seconds, roughly. It does this usually, but not always, and I frequent all the same sites, so the page I am on does not seem to matter.
3. I have noticed that some of the addons I use with Firefox, mainly Multi Links, lag as well when the above issue is occurring. Not sure if the two are connected in any way (also not sure why that feature is not ''built into Firefox to begin with'') and would have checked this but I will not risk not being able to get back here again. See below.
4. This is unrelated, but I felt it merited some small mention. This is effectively my SIXTH attempt at posting my query. The first time, I created an account and it forwarded me to some page basically saying 'Yup, you're logged in alright.' Then it KEPT doing that every time I tried to flesh out and ask my question, until I navigated COMPLETELY away from the page ''four times'' and attempted this one last time. Very frustrating. I even tried going to Live Chat for help, but somehow got off the chat window page and then suddenly chat was closed... right. Anyway, point being, it was difficult to get this posted and it has me even more annoyed. >.<
I have always loved Firefox because it was faster and more reliable than IE. But here recently... it just seems to be going downhill. For instance, I have seen others ask questions about what's going on with the plugin container and that stupid flash plugin - I happen to have that issue rather severely, to the point that I must leave Flash off entirely until I ''have to'' turn it back on (which is wearing down my last nerve, I might add, since I use sites that require that particular plugin daily), and while I did see a couple rather nice solutions about editing/tweaking internal Firefox settings, I must profess that I am nowhere near competent or comfortable enough to even think about attempting them. Furthermore, I do not believe I should be required to make such changes in order to get the program to function properly and risk ruining it completely so that I have to uninstall and reinstall just so I have Firefox. This is all rather exasperating, and judging from the replies I saw on those topics, I do not expect much help here (a couple of people were rather rude on one of those topics, I am afraid I am a minority here, not knowing my way around program language and all =( ). My main goal is to make you aware, if you are not already, that issues exist and if you have tried anything on your end to rectify them, it has not worked for some. I am at my wit's end here, I do not know what else to do to try to solve these issues other than clear cache and history, restart Firefox, so on and so forth. *sigh* I'm seriously thinking about going back to IE, and you have no idea how much that really ticks me off; I think, out of all of this, even all my wasted time, that's what upsets me the most.

Issues of this sort are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like them to be. However, they tend not to be cause by Firefox itself, but rather by software that is running either inside or alongside it, such as add-ons or firewalls. Since these issues have a broad span of possible causes, you need to diagnose your problems before fixing them. Follow these instructions ''to the line'', as they'll probably help you diagnose and fix the problems you're having.
#run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe-mode] to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your problem, be it with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with add-ons (plugins, themes or extensions). Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix your problem, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions (go into ''Tools > Add-ons > Extensions > Find Updates''), themes and plugins (see [https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ this page] in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). This is temporary and for diagnostic purposes only. Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you actually want that plugin to be enabled. It's best to keep the overall number of enabled plugins as low as possible. When you encounter problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all. If you need support for a problematic plugin, you need to contact its author for support;
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you actually want that extension to be enabled. As with plguins, it's best to keep the overall number of enabled extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all. Just the same as with plugins, if you need support for a problematic extension/plugin, you need to contact its author;
#if you've followed my instructions above, you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their authors for support.
Ok, now... ''If'' disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to fix your problems (or, in other words, if you've just read number 1 on the list above and come straight here), then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Detecting which program it is may be tricky, but the following list should help you. Make sure you follow it carefully. Don't forget to answer the question on the last point, if nothing else helps.
#try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version (for free, as always) at [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]. Make sure you [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox uninstall Firefox] prior to reinstalling it. For help installing Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox this support article]. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Is+my+Firefox+problem+a+result+of+malware?s=malware&as=s this support article] for help on this point. ''This is a very important step'', so please pay attention to it. If your problem is not due to viruses/malware, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in Windows operating systems, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing ''msconfig'' and pressing Enter; now, under the ''Startup'' tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect; if you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check if your firewall/antivirus/security suite is conflicting in any way with Firefox's normal behavior. Check for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be causing problems with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them temporarily to see whether or not that's true. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem, it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
#update your modem/router software. There have been some reports that some modem/router software may cause Firefox and other browsers to loose performance and/or stability. If updating doesn't fix your issue, try other versions of the software, if possible. If you need support with this, contact your modem/router manufacturer. If this doesn't help, proceed;
#if you are using a Windows operating system, clean up your OS registry using appropriate software. There have been reports that badly maintained Windows Registries may case problems with Firefox. If this doesn't help, see the following point;
#please try creating a new temporary Firefox profile ([http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles]) and see if the issues persist. Please report the results, so we can help you further.

Several sever Problems with firefox

I'm really disaapointed with the new Version of FireFox. Till Version 8, after every update ther was an improvement of several features, but frfom than on, it's getting worse.
Since than Firefox is starting slower and slower and it dioesn't matter how much tabs are open after the last close of Firefox ot how much add onss are aktivated. Today Firefox needs up to one minute to be ready to use. Often it returns to a non responding state.
I'm running on Windows 7 64bit Ultimate and did not have any Problems with Versions till 8. I own two desktops.
One with the Ultimate edition of Windows 7 and one with the home premium edition. The Ultimate is having 8GB Main memory and the other one is using 6 GB as Main Memory and here are the most problems. Both desktops are Multicore processor machines with more than 2400 GhZ speed, which should be enough for the machine and for Firefox.
The difference is also the use of a different Antivirus Programs. On the Home Premium machine there is running Kaspersky Internet Suite, and on the other Norton Antivirus internet Security.
The startup behaviour on both machines is equal. Slow, Slower , slowest. On Home Premium machine (6GB) there is an ammusing Problem with a special URL, which works fine on the Ultimate machine. The URL is http://www.autoscout24.de/.
When using this page you can do everything on both machines till the moment you select a car you want to have details. The details are shown quit well but if you tab the back button, the home premium machine is staying on the same side and die not go back to the prevous side as the other did. The Home Premium machine is going into "not Responding" state and never turns back. Disableing of Kaspersky didn't realy work, Clearng the cache of Firefox did'nt really work and reinstallation of Firefox did'nt work at all. ''What is happening with Firefox''
On Both Machines I tried to give a feedback with the function in the "Help Menu". On Both machines it didn't work. The best Version is the avtual Version for Ubuntu. Here everythings seems to work fine.
Till this problems are solved I'm using Opera because it is runing fast and more stable.
I was using firefox because of it's easy way to use extenssions. But as it is on Windows it is a realy noGo.

As of April 28 I was no longer able to access my Yahoo mail account from any links while using Firefox (4.0). When I clicked on the link(s) I was getting an error notice (404 Not Found). Even when I went to the Yahoo home page and tried using their link I was getting the same message.
I installed IE8 and again established MyYahoo home page with mail preview, and I was....sometimes....able to access the mail account via the links, but I was also getting substantial delays in page turning and/or complete freezes which I had to terminate with the task manager.
I then installed the Chrome browser with MyYahoo as my home page and it eliminated most all the issues, but I am still getting a delayed page turn on occasion.
In summary, it appears the problems are browser related, but I have not received any suggestions or comments from tech support forums including Yahoo customer care on how to correct these issues.
I have run malware scans (and found none) with Avast 6.0.1091, Malwarebytes, Mamutu, and Ad Aware.
I would like to repair this issue with Firefox because of all the features it offers to which I've become accustomed to using, but Chrome is much faster and it's tempting to just switch altogether.

Bridge Freezes While Running Firefox

Has any one else experienced the same problem? Bridge CS3 will freeze up if Firefox 3.0.15 is running at the same time. It seems to me that Firefox conflicts significantly with Adobe CS3 such as Bridge and Photoshop. If I force quit Firefox, Bridge and photoshop will un-freeze. I have expereiced this with Bridge CS4 and Firefox once as well. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks so much in advance.
PS. I am using OS 10.5.8

Not aware of problems with Firefox, at least, this is the first time I hear
of it.
But I wonder why you are using Bridge CS3 when you have Bridge CS4. If you
for some reason would like to open the images in CS3 you can set this to the
preferences for Bridge. Bridge CS4 is far better then CS3
And also the question, why do you use Firefox 3.0.15 while the current
version is at 3.5.5 ?
I'm not saying you need to update right from the moment it is available but
CS3 is several years old and also Firefox is 5 upgrades further in the list
