Since firefox updated to FF9, it just hangs after started

ealier today, FF updated on its own from FF8 which i had installed, no FF9. ever since it did that, i can no longer access any website. whenever i enter the browser. any website that i try to surf to, just gets stuck on the loading sign, and does nothing. the system resources that FF takes spike to the roof, and until i kill the app, i cannot do anything. i tried re-installing.. that didnt help.
help me please!!!

This is a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1010311 known compatibility issue] of the site and Firefox. For the meantime, you can instead install [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/ Firefox ESR] to continue using the storage service.

Firefox does not load; it just hangs after 5-6 seconds. Any ideas?

When I attempt to open Firefox, I get the opening page with no data, then after about 5 seconds I get the beach ball of death. I am running OS10.6 on an iMac. The problem started after I cleared History files.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Why won't my "searchpreview" add-on work from my browser search box since Firefox updated to 3.6.16, but it works when I do it from the Google main page??

Since Firefox updated itself to 3.6.16 earlier today, when I search for anything in my Google search box on the browser, it always used to show me thumbnails when the Google page came up. Now there are no thumbnails appearing, except if I go on the Google main page and search from there, the thumbnails still appear. Whe it updated, the browser automatically searched for incompatability problems with my add-ons but nothing appeared to say Searchpreview was incompatible.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

Since firefox update, my webpages and desktop is in large font. How can I get it back to normal size?

Since firefox updated my browser is really big, even my desktop, I can't get everything to fit on my monitor and I don't know how to get the font/size smaller. I tried going to the desktop and hitting smaller font but it says that it is at "normal?.

Double tap your screen with three fingers, then zoom out. Go to Settings/General /Accessability and disable the zoom feature.

Indesign CS5 hangs after start - every time

My new CS5 Indesign hangs after start and I have to force quit the program. I've not been able to use this yet and wonders if anyone can help me?
When I start Indesign I can start a new document, but as soon as I interact with the program i hangs and won't quit unless I force quit. I've tried to open an already existing file - which never opens. I also tried to open Indesign from Finder, not from the Dock.
I hope anyone can help me with this.
Best,
R. Henriksen

I am having the same problem! Brand new iMac i7... installed CS5 from scratch (am not transferring over programs from the old machine; wanted this one to be super fresh & clean). Have used Photoshop and Illustrator so far fine.. but InDesign crashes as soon as I try to do something - I can create a new document, but as soon as I use the type tool, crash. Or, I can sometimes successfully open up an existing document (tried both CS4 & CS5 ones), but it crashes once loaded.
I've uninstalled. Then reinstalled. no luck.
I have not yet tried to disable Suitcase (Fusion 3). Will try this eve...
Hoping your problems have meanwhile been fixed. Any update?

Online card security Verified by Visa and Mastercard Securecode will not load since Firefox updated so unable to make purchases using Firefox.

The additional Fraudsafe security feature used by Mastercard and Visa when buying products will not load since the Firefox update so no purchases can be made and I have to swap to using Internet Explorer instead :(

Since Firefox update (34.0) the functionality of InstantFox 2.8.9 has been curtailed. Help?

Look I know I will most likely need to also contact InstantFox 2.8.9's support pages but to my mind it makes more sense to ask for help here! Also I know my browser is probably a bit too 'top heavy' with my choices of extensions for the smooth working of my current 'ancient' laptop... But they suit me as is and, for the moment, I can I live with the eccentricities most likely caused by this present configuration...!
Since this update wherein the Search functions of Firefox have been tweaked InstantFox 2.8.9 has lost parts of its functions:-
1) The toolbar button which opens the dropdown box containing my preferred list of search engines has disappeared from the toolbar and the about:customizing Firefox page. It is a real hassle to have to access it via the Add-ons Manager since I cannot always remember all of my shortcuts for quicksearches.
2) Also the quick access to the above has been removed from the Tools menu.
3) The list of search engines has disappeared from the context menu which was very useful for a quick specific search from any highlighted text.
4) Firefox's own Search Manager does not contain this list but they do seem to be seeping in. But... for instance I do not need Amazon.com; I need Amazon.co.uk
As far as I can ascertain my shortcuts for quicksearches are all still functioning. By the way the functionality of InstantFox 2.8.9, when unencumbered by contradicting tweaks, is definitely much more to my liking!
Maybe your developers could liaise with InstantFox 2.8.9's developers... to tweak search operations to perfection! Sorry guys but am not savvy enough to be a developer or whatever [I surf (et al) holding on for dear life by 'the seat of my pants'!] so am unsure if I am making sense! Therefore also unsure if my assumptions are correct. Please politely inform what is really happening here. Have been rather reticent to contact you since, once before, was very rudely reprimanded when I tried to ask a question on another Mozilla forum...
So is it possible to get InstantFox 2.8.9 working at optimum again or can I suppress Firefox's new Search capabilities so that it will work unhindered...?
Many thanks to you all,
Regards from,
Ian.
P.S.: Apologies if this reads too sarcastic for you. Please forgive me have, on and off, spent most of today frustratedly trying to work this out whilst, amongst other things, the communal Central Heating here has failed. On a Sunday, no less, when I cannot get in contact with the Housing Association... and so on... Peace

Hi Philip,
Many thanks for the heads up re the lack of a grace period for add-on developers this time around. Recent Firefox updates have all seemed to eradicate more and more of the eccentricities that my browser configuration experiences... So this update was a surprise which caused me much...
Forgive my tardiness in replying but even though your suggestion was most informative and useful it did not rectify the problem. So, as you suggested, have waited till today when InstantFox sent out their update. Thankfully now all is working as 'on the box'!
Just one question:... I assume that I should leave Firefox's own search interface 'suppressed'? Don't want to go messing with about:config unless I have to!
Again Many Thanks and Regards from,
Ian.
P.S.: Where can I learn about the meaning of about:config items and other 'languages' working in the background?

Ever since Firefox updated, I cannot view slideshows on websites. If I click the "Next" button to see the next slide in an article, nothing happens. Why is this? How can it be fixed? I've cleaered cache, done everything.

When I try to view any article with a slideshow, the next button on the slideshow doesn't work. It doesn't matter which website, it doesn't happen in other browsers (ie Chrome), and it didn't happen prior to the recent Firefox update. I've cleared cache, checked all of the settings, and nothing's fixing this. How do I fix it?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Ever since Firefox updated to v26, my webpages are very slow to load. Is there a fix?

I have Windows XP. In January 2014, Firefox updated to version 26. Now, every time I try to access a webisete, the wheel turns verly slowly or hesitates and it takes a long time for websites to open. I have no problems watching streaming video. I have had to resort to using Internet Explorer because of this Firefox problem. I have noticed others have been experiencing similar issues with Firefox V26. Will there be a fix for this problem soon?

Firefox 24 and 25-b always hangs when starting up on mac Osx 10.8.5 despite trying everything suggested on support pages. Reverting to firefox 22 works. Help?

I have tried everything on support yet it keeps crashing. My macbook pro has the same software (10.8.5) yet firefox 25.0 works like a dream. My desk top is part of an office network with 10.8 server.
Question title edited by moderator to change "keeps crashing" to "always hangs", since Firefox isn't crashing - it's not responding. aw

I encounter the same problem. I suspect this has to do with remote user homes. Firefox 24 works on local accounts - not in server hosted ones.
I am sorry i can not provide crash reports because Firefox hangs in such an early state - it does not write crash logs. It literally does not crash - it just stops to respond a lounchtime - so it does not give an error in the system console, too.
We have 20 Workstations (OSX 10.8.5) working with apple remote user homes. the problem is persistent on all systems. Firefox 23 worked fine and does again if you reinstall it.

[1.1.2.25.79] Program hangs after starting long runnin SQL with parameters

Hello Forum,
I'm currently tuning some SQLs with parameters that run some minutes. When I enter the SQL in the worksheet and press F9, SQL Developer asks for the parameters. But after clicking "Apply" (or whatever it is called in the english version, I'm using german ;-)
I get the elapsed time of 0.018 seconds displayed and the whole program hangs until the SQL is completed. The elapsed time is not updated so I don't get the real elapsed time.
I run SQL Developer against an Oracle 9.2 Database on Win2k. The client runs WinXP.
I hope this is not a double post but searching the forum for "parameters" gave too many hits to check. ;-)
Regards,
dhalek

Sqldev hangs when issuing an action that requires the previous action to be completed first.
Sqldev could open a new connection for this, or at least display a message telling the action isn't possible until the previous one completes, instead of just hanging. Vote for the requests for this on the SQL Developer Exchange if you want this getting addressed sooner.
Thanks,
K.

Solution to InDesign CS5 Hang After Start

I was having a problem with InDesign CS5 where it would go through the whole start up process and then just hang, with a white box in the middle of the screen.
Here is what I did to fix it, although this is more of a hack than a real fix. I already posted this as a bug report so hopefully Adobe will come out with a dot release to handle it.
What seems to happen is that InDesign is looking for an internet connection right after it starts, and when it doesn't find one, it will keep trying if you have a network cable plugged in.
You can either un-plug your network cable before you start InDesign and it will start up just fine (you will have to do this each time you start InDesign) or you can go into the plug ins folder Applications -> InDesign CS5 -> Plug-Ins and find the PMPack folder in there is the plug-in for the welcome screen called PMWelcomeScreen.InDesignPlugin if you take this out of your plug-ins folder then you will be able to start InDesign without unplugging your network cable, but you loose the welcome screen.
There you have it.
Hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the suggestion on the welcome screen. I wanted to make sure that I didn't run into that the problem again. I work in an office were all our jobs are kept on a server, so I cannot afford to disconnect the network cable just in case I have something else open in another application and this is the only thing that worked .Prior to that I tried uninstalling and re-installing InDesign many times and under a new user, when two of my co-workers who have totally different machines than me had the same trouble I figured the only common denominator between us was that we were on a network and not connected to the internet from our working machines...
I am running OS 10.6.3 on a Mac Mini (2009) 2.0 GHZ core 2 duo, 4 GB of RAM.

Since Firefox updated, it wont open. Just flicks a black screen with some text on it. Wont connect to websites through skype or email either. Please help?

I have tried uninstalling FF but it won't let me do that either. I would be extremely grateful for some support please. I would be happy to just be able to link to a website via my email. I'm using google chrome in the meantime and just cut and paste links that way. Have a lovely day

Hi firefoxjules,
Have you looked at the [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]] or [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]] Knowledge Base articles? There is a lot of good troubleshooting information in there.
Hopefully this helps!

The font on some of my programs, even here as I type is faint or grey. This just started since firefox updated two days ago. what can I do to fix this problem?

I am a real estate agent and two days ago when I open my searches for clients the font is grey instead of black... makes it hard to read. Even as I type this the font is grey.

Restore your phone as new, not using ANY backup at all, and reset it up from scratch.

Since firefox updated to FF9, it just hangs after started
