Safari & Firefox hanging (esp. on facebook & myspace)

Okay, seems I'm not alone here...both Safari and firefox keeping hanging on me (spinning ball of death). In Safari, it seems to come after a message about a flash plug-in not working; in firefox it just hangs. This only started happening two days ago, and once the problem appears the only way I can clear it is by rebooting the mac. Interesting it has only happened to me in facebook and myspace, but I'm a musician so I spend a **** of a lot of time in both these sites.
Now here's the sad bit...I moved over to macs from PCs only 5 months ago, and up to now I've been singing this machine's praises - it is marvellous - but this problem smacks of the sort of thing that happens with the dreaded MS. Anybody able to help me? I'm gutted!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Hopefullly this will help... I can feel your frustration.
Uninstall and reinstall a fresh version of Flash Player Plugin.
Uninstall Flash
Reinstall Flash
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Mac OS: Web Browser Quits Unexpectedly or Stops Responding
Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
Also, if you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Quit Safari then relaunch.
And repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Safari & Firefox Hanging (again)

About a month ago, after a Safari update I believe, both Safari & Firefox kept hanging (spinning ball of doom) especially on Facebook & MySpace, but other sites too. After some advice from this forum I altered Safari so that it ran in 32-bit mode instead of 64. That sorted out the problem...
...until last night, when the hanging started again. Has there been another Safari update? Anyone else getting this again? Any advice on what to do to stop the hanging? This is getting annoying.
thanx
Chris.

I've had this problem for over a year now. I tried changing DNS servers in the System Preferences: Network: Ethernet/TCP-IP settings, and that seemed to help, but it still happens. Basically if I go to some sites on the web, Safari or Firefox will not show them. If I run over across the room to a different computer (Mac or Windows) I can see the websites on those browsers, no problem.
It's enough to make me doubt whether I can go ANYWHERE in Safari.
I've tried to talk to Verizon about this, but they don't like to talk about Macs, and generally want me to connect the Mac directly to their DSL box, which is time consuming and is not really going to help. It's something specific to my Mac, unfortunately. Heck, though, it's a G5, so probably time to get s new one, that was a nice four years!

Safari & firefox photo upload hang

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. On my home computer which is running the most recent upgrade of Leopard and browser software, we recently noticed that when trying to upload photos via Facebook that both Safari and Firefox 'hang' (=beach ball) indefinitely after pressing the 'upload photo' button (e.g. when trying to change a profile photo). We have to force quit and try again - no avail. It doesn't even get to the dialog box to browse for the file.
I thought it was odd that both browsers are doing this. Any ideas - are there common plug-ins that could be bad? I also noticed that disk space is getting low (only 12 Gb left - although its been lower).
Appreciate any ideas of things to try,
Wayne

note to self, the problem was a bad external hard drive. the dialog boxes looking to open files must have hanged up when browsing for this drive..

Safari (and Firefox) hang on Flash-Pages for main-account

Since Easter (when I took the last batch of upgrades) Safari and Firefox hang.
I narrowed the test down to the following web-page:
http://www.sunfleet.com
* The page does not load completely - after a little while I get this spinning ball and need to kill the hanging Safari-process.
* The same web-page works flawless on a second account.
This is what i tried so far after reading the communities:
* Checked the safari-preferences, switched off auto-fill, security settings allow loading of plug-ins.
* Executed Onyx 2.1.4 - check disk, check and repair rights, run scripts
* deinstalled Flash and reinstalled it (10.0.45.2) according to the instructions on the Adobe Support Page
* manually removed the Flash Player folders in:
Home/Library/Preferences/Macromedia
Home/Library/Caches
The error still prevails.
It would be great if someone could instruct me what to do next.
I have a backup via time-machine, but I really don't know what to restore.

Hi Carolyn!
In the mean-while I removed all the Internet Plugins that were registered under the main user:
real-player and move-media-player are now gone.
Still no change. I made a new trace below - I wonder, what is different on the main account compared to the other user. Could it be fonts ?
Best regards
Stephan

Thumbnail/preview images are not showing in Facebook (Safari/Firefox/Chrome)

Hello
I've never had this problem before in a year of having a new MBP. The MBP completely ran out of juice for days to the point of the clock resetting (whether this is an issue I don't know), although the MBP works totally fine and is now on full juice.
However, I've noticed that when using Facebook (which is important for my work / digital marketing), I can't see any preview thumbnails/images, which is really annoying, as when posting official work stuff I can't see if they are being displayed properly.
Screenshot of the problem- you will see a white question mark in a blue box where the image/preview thumb should be.
I've reset safari/firefox/chrome completely and deleted ALL history/cache etc etc and udated to all latest versions. All the usual troubleshooting stuff, but it's still happening!??
Can anyone help with this???
Thanks!

Why does firefox hang up and say it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage?

firefox hangs up and says it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome.

Since July on MacBook Pro facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome. Everything is up to date including last version of Adobe Flash. And watching YouTube also a problem. Video is skipping, freezing for few seconds and jumps forward. At the same time on Toshiba with Windows Vista under the same account, same wi-fi connection everything works fine.
Please help with sugesstions to fix the issue.

Seems like problem is solved but it might be temporarily. Anyway. Click on the image, it will open facebook photo browser. Image is not loading so right click on the blue box with question mark, save image as. It will start downloading but without any success since browser do not see the image. After this attempt refresh the page and close all tabs with facebook. Try to open facebook once again. For some reason after this weird actions all images displayed properly. Do not know for how long but now it works.

Can't Access Myspace Profiles via Safari/Firefox/Explorer/Opera... help?

Hi,
I can't access 95% of all the profile pages I try to view on Myspace. It starts loading and then I get the spinning beach ball. I did some experimenting, and I turned off Javascript on Safari and they started loading again, but I can't access a lot of features-- I couldn't even log into this discussion without Javascript!! I think my javascript is corrupted. Is there a way to replace my javascript thingy? I'm really upset about this. My software is all up to date, as are my permissions. Any advice would be helpful.
~Patrick

Same here. Permissions repaired, PlugIns removed and reinstalled one after another (InputManagers: Chax, Menu Extra Enabler, PicLens, SafariBlock, SafariPlus, SIMBL), reinstalled flash, DivX, Flip4Mac, Perian. All up to date. But whatever I do, I can't access (most of the sites of) MySpace, YouTube, etc.! No difference whether I use Safari, FireFox or Opera: The processor speeds up to 100% and the beach-ball goes spinning round and round and… The only (but radical) solution than is pressing the power-button! I had this problem with Safari 2, I have it with Safari 3, and I definitely don't know what to do! Hoped with every update, but…
I don't know if that's a problem with flash or JavaScript or something completely different, but I can't see why Apple does not get that fixed! I mean, I'm really not the only one being frustrated by surfing the web while more and more blogs integrate YouTube-Videos… That's no fun using a mac!

Embedded movies, Safari/Firefox freezes, then all hangs

Note: This post was moved from 'It's not just Safari, It's Firefox too... Crashing Tiger'
I have the same problem -- although it is linked directly to embedded quicktime movies. Almost every time I go to a page with an embedded movie, Safari / Firefox freezes, taking the rest of the os along with it (finder, other open apps) Unplugging the ethernet doesn't help. Checked the Safari crash log and it doesnt seem to be recording these crashes.

Sounds like lookupd is hanging and taking the OS with it...
If this is happening when surfing to sites with links to "js.adsonar.com", like FoxNews.com and others, here's a fix:

In Lion, Safari pages hang in full screen mode. If you exit full screen mode, the next page you intended to view appears.

In Lion, Safari pages hang in full screen mode. If you exit full screen mode, the next page you intended to view appears.
This happens nearly every time I use Safari. I will be clicking on links, when it appears to hang. By exiting full screen mode, upon minimizing the next page I was intending to view appears. This does not happen on all websites, but many that I visit.

Here's a stupid question, but I'm sure I'm not the only one - how exactly DO you minimize the safari fullscreen mode?? I keep reading about orange or yellow tabs which don't exist, at least on my 27 iMac. Control m doesn't work either. I wish Apple would have a basic 3 or 4 page instruction manual on this. Unless there are major bugs still. By the way, this is only one of many problems I'm having with Safari. Occasionally the tool bar just dissappears. And, don't get me started about how the dock in Lion simply stopped accepting some icons, including Firefox. None of these problems happened when I first installed Lion. Each upgrade seems to have more bugs, not less.

Why does Safari always hang on opening a pdf?

This is getting very old - Safari hangs consistently on opening pdfs. It stalls and then I get the 'quit unexpectedly' error. Safari also hangs on a normal quit and stalls then comes up with the 'quit unexpectedly' error.
Does Apple not seem to know this? I have sent report after report on each hang and yet the problem is never addressed in a fix. I know many other mac users with the same issue.
Generally, I like Safari and don't want to go to Firefox, but likely will have to if these issues don't get addressed by Apple.
Any ideas???

Given the vast majority of Mac owners do not have these problems (I must view at least 20 PDFs a day from Safari), it sounds like a configuration issue on your system.
Can you post one of the Safari crash logs, I or someone else here may be able to help you further.
Also, given this isn't actually a "Getting Online and Networking" issue, you might have more luck posting in the Safari discussion.

Safari, FireFox and Chrome are not loading webpages in OS X Lion

I have been unable to load certain webpages in any of my web browers that I have installed. This includes Safari, FireFox and Chrome. While I am able to load sites such as ESPN.com without any issue, I cannot connect to Facebook.com or CNET.com. I have tried clearing by browser history and cache, turning off and on my wifi and restarting my computer. Any ideas of what the issue is and whether there is a relatively simple fix that does not require waiting for an updated software release from Apple?

Reset Safari more often.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select: Clear History (also empties the cache)
Deselect the remaining boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

FireFox Hangs

Firefox hangs up every time I use it causing me to either force quit or reboot my PBG4. For the past 4 months, it was my default browser but I had to switch back to Safari. Are there any know fixes or workarounds for this problem?

Delete the preferences file org.mozilla.firefox.plist . It will be recreated when you restart Firefox. If that doesn't work, delete it again, drag the firefox icon to the trash, empty the trash, and download the current version from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/

Firefox hanging on one page

Everytime I visit this page on my website Firefox hangs when I scroll about halfway down. If I don't scroll I can play the videos at the top which are all movs. The home page loads and scrolls fine - there are no videos on that page. The page works fine on safari on my mac and also on safari, firefox & IE on my windows laptop. I've searched the forums and tried disabling the add-ons; testing in safe mode and changing the proxy. None of these worked. My site was made using Wordpress. Any suggestions please??

Instead of using the html attribute size="50" try using css widths and set them in pixels.
#lastname {
width:357px;
The html attribute for size is based off of the font used, in "characters wide". How that font renders between browsres can change the size.

Safari & Firefox hanging (esp. on facebook & myspace)
