Safari stalls internet when using Facebook

I recently purchased a Macbook for college and after setting the laptop up, I easily connected to our locked wireless within the house. It has been working perfectly fine in every room in the house, but when I log in to facebook.com and look at my profile page or anyone else's - the internet freezes. I then have to unplug the router and wait for it to reboot. No other website I go on affects the internet connection except for facebook. Is there anyway to resolve this problem or has anyone had the same difficulty? Thanks!

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • Internet Explorer Restarts when useing Facebook Games

    Hi, thank you. I think what you are describing is the page that you are on at that particular website is "refreshing". At least that is what is sounds like to me. The same as if you used the key F5 or the icon at the top of your toolbar.
    Does this happen on all of the games on Facebook or just some? I'm not sure exactly why this happens and can only guess unless I did some research on the subject. The particular game is very busy or perhaps it is using a lot of resources. The next time it happens, you might want to bring the Task Manager up and see what that application is using under processes.
    Also I would not have more than one window open, since some of the games use a lot of resources.
    I wish I could help you more, but I don't use Facebook or any of the games. I would certainly check the Task Manager. At least that may give you a clue as to what is going on.
    Perhaps someone that has more information will see your thread and help you further.
    Thanks,

  • When using facebook my words are really small so i need to know how i can make them back larger

    Somehow I changed the size of my characters only when using facebook, so I would like to know how to change them back to regular size because they are really small. It's only like this when using facebook on firefox because I tried on internet explorer and it's fine.

    ctrl-+ is the easiest way (as in, hold down ctrl and press the + key, multiple times if needed). It might be [mac button]-+ on macs, I'm not sure.

  • When using facebook, Firefox locks up and nothing works except a hot shutdown on Windows Vista

    About twice a week, usually, but not always, when using facebook, my screen locks up, no buttons or clicks on links work and I get a message in the Firefox title bar that says: "Firefox not responding". I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba Satellite laptop and the only other window open is my email account on GoDaddy, but this happens even when that is not open. My hard drive LED begins glowing steady "on" when this occurs when usually it is flashing or not glowing at all. It frequently happens when changing facebook pages or trying to close facebook. Sometimes I get a "wait" hourglass, sometimes not. I have tried leaving the computer alone to let it sort out on it's own, and I have tried machine gun tapping on the "close" button. Either way the only resolution is a hot shutdown (hold down the computer power button until the computer shuts down) and wait a few minutes before reboot. On reboot, the same facebook page will open automatically and sometimes will lock up again when I try to close that window. On more rare occasions this lockup happens on sites other than facebook. My computer guru has looked at my setup and tells me my computer is fine and virus free. Since I'm a computer doof I don't know what he is talking about. Any ideas? Is there a difference between a "crash" and a "lockup" or do they mean the same thing?

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Do I have to be connected to internet when using illustrator through creative cloud? And can I change the language on the trial version if I would extend it to pay version? Thank you in advance.

    Do I have to be connected to internet when using illustrator through creative cloud? And can I change the language on the trial version if I would extend it to pay version? Thank you in advance.

    Lelisa it is only necessary to connect to the internet periodically to receive updates and validate your membership.  If you have an annual membership you can be offline for up to 99 days.  You can find additional details at Activation & Deactivation Help.
    I would also recommend reviewing Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps which discusses adjusting the installation language.

  • Firefox freezes up when using facebook

    computer freezing up when in facebook
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://facebook.com

    To fix computer freezes or facebook freezes problem, follow these guidelines to fix it:
    * First, small size of RAM makes computer slow.
    * Secondly, corrupt windows registry causes freezing in computer.
    * The third most important thing that you can do to optimize your Facebook is to optimize your internet connection.
    * So it is recommended you use a system utilities software that provides the feature of internet optimizer.
    * Also remove unwanted add-ons/extensions from your browser.
    * It is also recommended to clean system junk and browsers junk.
    The above guidelines allow you to Avoid Facebook Freezing and keep your Windows properly maintained.

    Hope it works for you also.

  • Firefox 7.0.1 constantly closing when using facebook...what is the fix????

    Ever since I downloaded firefox 7.0.1 when I'm using facebook it will close down...message says it's encountered a problem and is closing...is there a fix? this is VERY aggravating...have to reopen internet and sometimes it goes back to where it shut down and other times a message comes up ans says it's embarrassed and cant continue so I have to start a new session...can I go back to the old system which worked fine???

    No solution, and others may give you a better answer, but it appears to be a Windows OS error, have you tried the Microsoft forums e.g. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/problem-event-name-bex-error-message/cf5baf73-0877-4070-abfb-a2c3a17a9e10 and tried asking a question over there.
    Post back with how you get on.

  • Can't play sounds on videos when using 'Facebook', music plays

    On my wife's iPad she cannot hear sound from video clips when in 'Facebook', but she can hear sound when she opens iTunes.  Any help, suggestions?

    Sorry I don't. It just happens at random and usually most YouTube videos and other similar styled videos. I'm not really a tech guy but it just seems like there is something else going on. Everything else on my PC works fine except when I want to open a video using flash. It isn't just one site or one video it is nearly every flash video and it's almost like they're loading one at a time except in no order if there is more than one tab. Even if it is just one video, it takes a long time to load.
    Imagine going to YouTube to load up a vid and the controls or progrss bar never load, it just stops and only a solid black box is displayed. Eventually the controls load and it seems like it's about to play at any moment.. only the waiting lasts 5 minutes. Even if you refresh it still has to do this all over again.

  • Booted off Verizon Fios Internet when use VOIP phone.

    When I use my VOIP phone while on the internet (I use Verison FIOS Internet), I get booted off the internet.  I have done what tech support said to do which was to do a hard reboot of the router but after a short while it does it again.  They had no more answers for me than that.  Does anyone else know what can be done?
    Thanks.

    I have Fios Internet, TV and Phone and so I HAVE to use the Verizon router made by Actiontec. My Mac Book Pro is Leopard based.
    Does the router have the latest firmware? Very important.
    The problem is that I am paying for 20mbps service and getting about 6 to 8. This is regardless of where I am in physical relation to the router/modem and whether or not I am the only computer connected to the internet.
    How are you measuring your speed?
    PLEASE help. I have contacted Verizon and they have no ideas that help. I cannot watch Netflix or Boxee and even regular internet pages load painfully slowly.
    I have a cable modem that runs at 10Mb/s and internet pages load instantly. On this Verizon DSL I am currently using, which creeps along at a mere 3 Mb/s, pages internet pages load instantly.
    Even if your connection is 6 to 8 Mb/s, pages should load instantly, and streaming should work properly.
    Clearly, you have some other problem with your system.
    Again, how are you measuring your speed? What is your link speed? What are your measured upload and download speeds?
    If you are using the router as a WiFi then you may not be getting the full speed you expect from a direct connection.
    You need to supply much more real hard data than you have.
    Your subject says that "Verizon Fios Internet, TV and Phone with Mac Book Pro is SLOW!" and Leopard has nothing to do with your TV or phone.
