Some features of firefox stop working during use

i could not close the open windows after they poped up, ie click on a pic that opened in a new window and i could not then close it or the main screen. there were limited function from buttons, the only ones i could use were back and forward, and the drop down button for the address bar, but i could not type a new address or in any of the search windows. the only way to close the browser was to end program in the windows task manager.

This is the current bug:

Iphone 3gs stops working during use,

and reboots after 3-4 min usage. IOS5 installed. Used to be good before, but I am not sure if this is a HW og SW issue.
Any similar trouble out there, with some advise on how to solve ?

Thanks for reply. I need to follow up with more details.
Phone is syncing nicely. Updates via WiFi and is seemingly working well with both Itunes (on the IMac in OS-x Lion). The trouble seems to be when the phone is used (annoiying - since this is a phone). Any phone call lasting more than 3-4 minutes will be broken, and phone enters into some status with Apple logo showing, and phone reboots. I simply can't figure it out. I have restored IOS perhaps 3 times.

Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use

Adobe BRIDGE CS 5 PHOTO DOWNLOADER freezes and/or stops working during download after 2 years of use. I have uninstalled/re installed twice, cleaned system, adjusted Bridge settings with no change. And I have found no helpful troublshooting tips in forum or on web.

Does it freeze with other type of cards. Have seem some post that suggest an imbedded CODEC on the flash card can cause file corruption in Bridge and Mac Finder.

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

Firefox stops working and closes program down

Hello Stephen.
First of all, and although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment as been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com].
As for your issue, you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin 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?

Firefox stops working after computer goes to sleep 37.0.1

Running Win7 Home Premium and Firefox 37.0.1. Since this upgrade, when any of my three computers goes to sleep, Firefox stops working. Sometimes the process can be exited, but regardless, Firefox cannot be reloaded and the computer must be rebooted. When the computer has gone to sleep, and Firefox has stopped working, other browsers, such as Explorer also say they cannot connect to the internet. The fact that this problem simultaneously appeared on different computers following this upgrade suggests that this is a Firefox problem. The only way I can avoid this is to exit Firefox after every use. In many cases, the only web page visited during a session is google.

This is a known issue, and the programers are looking at it.

Firefox stops responding during Gmail and Google, why?

The last few weeks, Firefox 4.1.0, on my XP SP3 system, stops responding while I am sending Gmail, frequently, stopping the transmission. Today, for the first time, it stopped responding while I was searching on Google.
The LAST thing I want to do is go back to Microsoft's IE.

Well, clearing cookies and cache over and over does not work.
Also, Firefox stops working with many sites now and I am tired of closing it down every 3 minutes. So, my solution this morning was to import my bookmarks to Google Chrome and it worked. After using Firefox for many, many years, I will now be using Google Chrome.

Firefox stops working when I click 'messages' in yahoo fanticy football

When I try to click on messages in this link : http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com I get a message box that says firefox stopped working. If I use Windows explorer it works fine. I have been using this all season and last week it stopped. I uninstalled firefox an downloaded the latest version and it still failed. where can i go to get more detail? What do you suggest.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
You can also check for problems with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Another possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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 and the updater process.

Hi, my read aloud feature with PDF stopped working. It reports: no US English voice available on this system. How can I restore it to read aloud again? Thx, Rick

I am having the exact same problem... My Text-to-speech just errors out when I select a new voice and then that voice disappears from the choices of voices. I can not get it to speak anything since the Leopard upgrade. Some suggestions would be great as to what might cause this to fail. Thanks

FireFox stopped working after I tried to update my settings

I have just built a new computer; x58 Gigabyte, 920 cpu, windows 7 Ultimate. I downloaded and installed the latest version of Firefox and everything was working great. I updated my bookmarks and everything still worked fine. I tried to update my personal settings by copying a file in my personal folder and Firefox stopped working. "Can't run because it is already running". I rebooted, no help. I removed and reinstalled no help. I am at your mercy please don't make me use Internet Explorer
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== today ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.2)

Which file did you copy?
Is there a '''parent.lock''' file in your Profile folder?
If so, delete that file.

Firefox stops working if the Laptop goes to sleep or stand by.

Since the last 1 month have started to get a weird issue on Firefox. Have auto update turned on, so not sure which version the issue started occurring.
Every time the screen turns off, computer goes to stand by or sleep, Firefox stops working. The only option is to restart the computer.
The browser would continue to respond, but it would not connect to internet, basically it does not do anything. Try closing the browser and you would see it closes OK, but the process won't shut down.
Try Launching again, and it would say "FF is already running and option "Close Firefox"", but it won't be able to close firefox. Try killing the process and that won't work either.
Result is I have to restart the PC 4 to 5 times a day because FF just would not work and I do not feel comfortable using other browsers.

hello, can you reproduce the same problem with firefox 37 beta?:

Welcome to the Apple Community Turbomedic.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Z30 stopped working during 10.2.1 update

My Z30 stopped working during the 10.2.1 update (Fido). The screen is completely dark, the only sign of life is the blinking red light. The pattern is 1 long blink followed by a pause and then 6 quick blinks. I have purchased tech support for 50$ without any resolution. Now on day 4 of issue.
Does anyone have any idea how to get my phone back to life????
Here is what I have tried already:
I tried reloading the OS via bb link. Keep getting a error: "error communicating with device"
I tried reinstalling my bb link and reloading the OS
I tried reloading the OS via online os update
The same things were tried by tech support and no luck there either.
I did all these things with and without sim/micro SD

Try a new USB cable. If doesn't work turn phone off plug into computer with link open and then turn on when plugged in then hit reinstall. Phone sounds like it is bricked. See if this helps.

Firefox stopped working and won't install after I uninstall and reinstall.

Firefox stopped working one day. It would not load anything. I followed the directions and completely uninstalled and then reinstalled Firefox. It goes through the process and then says Firefox will load momentarily. It never does. Also, what do you have against hiring people to answer questions in person?

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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 and the updater process.
