Sometimes after trying to load videos, Firefox will not finish loading and will not load any website afterwards. The ONLY way to fix it is by pulling the modem for a few minutes.

When I try to load videos, there is a good chance the video will randomly stop loading, and nothing is accessible until I turn off the modem. Restarting my computer, clearing my browser cache, cookies, etc. None of that works. I've had "slightly" better luck immediately pausing a video and letting it buffer entirely, but that still doesn't work all the time. Surfing has just become a gamble until I just get frustrated.

Is anyone here to help?

  • I have an issue with Acrobat, after a few uses, the program will not load, the only way to fix it is to completely uninstall the CS suite wipe the drive and reinstall the software, then after a few uses it stops working, how do i fix this?

    Not sure of an answer to your basic question, but it may be that you can run a repair (on Windows --> Control Panel>Programs & Features and run the repair on Acrobat). If that fixes the issue, at least temporarily, at least you will not be reinstalling everything -- a real pain.
    Next, open Acrobat and go to the Help to run the updates and be sure you are current. On some OSs, the updates are critical.

  • This is a silly question, but I cannot fix it! The icons that appear on my photos after I edit them, have gone away. The only way I can see them is in the Grid view. How can I get the icons back on the thumbnail photos of the full gallery that is loaded?

    You have likely dragged the size of the filmstrip thumbnails to a small size that prevents Lightroom from displaying the badges. Using your mouse, mouse over the top line of the filmstrip and then drag it supports to increase the size.

    In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
    Switch off Mac
    Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
    Switch off Mac again
    Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
    Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

  • How do I stop Firefox from creating untitled web pages when I try to send email from a web page. The only way I have found is to turn the computor off and then reboot. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer

    Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.

  • Why does FireFox freeze and the only way to unfreeze it is to open the task manager and close the plugin-container.exe file??? It has been happening more and more often and it is getting VERY AGGRAVATING!!!!!

    When Firefox does freeze (not responding appears in parentheses in the page tab) I am not able to access any of the webpages (the entire webpage is hidden behind a vaguely white transparent foreground) and more often than not any files I might be downloading are stopped before the entire file has been transferred - which means that I have to start those downloads from the beginning AGAIN. This has been happening for quite some time and I AM SICK AND TIRED OF IT HAPPENING!!
    If it continues to happen for much longer I will swear off FireFox FOREVER!!!!! Either a program works or it does not work and lately Firefox has not worked worth a damn...........
    The ONLY way to force Firefox to allow me to access it is for me to end the plugin-container.exe file process using Task Manager. Clearing there is a SERIOUS problem here that has not been resolved - why not???

    The pluging container opens up unnecessary copies as the cookies/history are cleared, this is a known issue, it might be what you are seeing, and it is hoped to be fixed in some future release of firerox.
    There are some hangs affecting some users, with symptoms being high cpu usage, occurring as bookmark changes or syncing is in progress, there is a work around for that.
    Firefox hanging as you close it see:
    *[[firefox hangs]]
    * [[firefox is already running but is not responding]]

  • I have an macbook air and iPad 2. Then I upgraded to OS X YOSEMITE everything when downhill . it will not finish downloading and could not even used my FaceTime . Help pls.

    To Whom It May Concern,
    I have a MacBook Air, Ipad 2 everything was fine. Then I upgraded it to OS X Yosemite , everything when downhill, can not even use FaceTime . i have tried everything. Can somebody help me out on this please. Thank you.

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

  • The only way to fix Xperia P problems after the jelly bean update!

    After the jelly bean update my Xperia got slow, I could not answer phone calls, the call log took so much time to appear , I have tried uninstalling external softwares , reseting the phone , nothing worked. Finally I have downgraded the phone follwing the guidelines provided in this link - http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Android-development/GUIDE-How-to-Install-Jelly-Bean-ICS-Ice-Cream-Sand...
    Now my phone is fast , gallery is working fine , I can receive phone calls , no useless chrome by default , the google search widget works fast , the overall performance is much better. So I would recommend people to downgrade their Xperia p to ice cream sandwich and stick with it. OLD is GOLD! 

    What is your build version now after downgrading to ICS? I could not download 6.1.1.B.1.54 from the list which was best to me.. Please let me know quickly, I'm having the same **bleep** problem in JB.

  • HT1153 I've just put new batteries into my wireless mouse for my iMac and now it'll barely stay connected to my computer. It'll just keep disconnecting then reconnecting for a few minutes then disconnect again. Anyone have any ideas?

    I've just recently put in brand new batteries into my wireless Bluetooth mouse for iMac and it continuously disconnects itself and will then reconnect itself for only a few minutes, just to disconnect again. It's become impossible to use my computer as my mouse smoky won't connect itself for long enough to do anything. Anyone had this problem before and could help me out?

    HI:
    It does not sound like a battery problem.
    Try a couple of things:
    1.          Reset the SMC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2.          Reset (if you can) the PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    If that does not help, delete the mouse in system preferences, turn it off, restart, and turn the mouse back on.
    Barry
    P.S.  I only needed it once, but I have an old USB mouse in case my Bluetooth one decides to quit. 

  • I am downloading lion from the app store and the downloading is taking a long time. also my internet stopped for a few minutes. will that affect the download content.

    i have done an online payment for the new mac os. and the downloading is taking a long time . why is it so. its been more than half a day.
    also my internet was down for a couple of minutes and so does this affect the integrity of the software and would it be corrupted.
    if the software is downloaded is corrupt will i be able to retrieve another copy or have i lost my money in thos.

    My download took about 4 hours on a 6 Mbps connection, and I noticed from the winking router light that it paused from time-to-time. The download was successful. It operated perfectly, probably because I did a clean installation rather than the simpler upgrade.

  • Firefox often freezes. Many times, I can't click or type anywhere. The only way to fix it is by clicking restore/maximize button. After click it becomes normal again. How to fix this?

    Usually after i typed 2 or 3 characters in the address bar it freezes suddenly. And i can't click or type anything. I click the restore button in the top right and it becomes normal for moment. Then the same problem appears again and i have to click the restore button over and over again.

    When you're in Arch, use output redirection
    lspci >lspci.out
    then boot into Ubuntu or something where you can access the files and the BBS,  Of course, don't forget to use a new file for each command output.
    The new network config in rc.conf is not that complicated (wired anyway; never used wireless).  OTOH I've had issues on two machines where I have to restart the network daemon (rc.d restart network) or rerun netcfg (netcfg eth0) after boot to get connectivity. And I still haven't come to grips with the ip command.

  • How to automatically lock my computer if I step away for a few minutes

    What is the best way to secure my computer if I walk away for a few minutes? Having the screensaver come on? Or is there another way to lock out the current user if the computer is inactive for 5+ minutes?
    Thanks!

    If you choose "Show Status in Menu Bar" from Keychain Access > Preferences > General you will get a little padlock in the Right Hand menu bar. This has a menu "Lock Screen, …" which will automatically switch to the screensaver and require entry of a password to get back (it does allow switching to another user if Fast User Switching is enabled).
    That way you can set security immediately. It would, though, be a good idea to trigger the screensaver after a minute or two (whatever suits you) in case you forget

  • Firefox gets to a point that it tries but will not load any page including my home page!!!! The only way around the problem is by reinstalling it.

    When I try to start Firefox, I get nothing!!!!!! The only way I can fix this problem and get access to the WEBB and my starting home page is to reinstall it all over again. This has happen enough times that I am about not to use it again unless you have a fix for this problem!!!!!! For now I have loaded version 20 and am off and running again until it happens again.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Firefox 7.1 keeps frerezing after about 15 minutes of use if I click on a website the system sticks and Freezes up. The only way to resolve it is to close and then re-open Firefox

    The problem occurs frequently and can effect any website. After about 15 minutes of surfing, I will click on a link and suddenly The word "Connecting" appears in the URL box and little circle (which used to be an hourglass) starts spinning.
    After thatI can't connect ti any website, including ones I visited moments before, unless I close down all firefox windows and reopen a new one. It then works fine for a few minutes, before it happens again

    Type in the address bar
    about:config
    Accept the warning.
    In the page that appears, in the Filter box, type
    network.http.max-connections
    Change the value to 32 (which is probably set to 256 in your case).
    Close that page.
    Restart the browser.
