URL bar stalls when loading

Often the address bar stalls while loading up. If I click the X at the end of the bar and then click the Refresh symbol, it will often reload just fine. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries.

Hey there tsankawe,
It sounds like webpages seem to be stalling when you are trying to load them, but stopping and then refreshing the page will make it load correctly. I would start by checking to see if any 3rd party plugins are causing issues with it, using this article:
Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230
If the issue persist, I would next reset Safari and then test the issue again:
Safari 7 (Mavericks): Reset Safari
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17186
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Videos stall when loading from youtube, facebook. Must stop and reload.

Videos stall after only a few seconds from FaceBook and YouTube. Must stop and reload.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

The optimised imagery content loads OK but the actual Thumbnails feature stalls when loading the page.

Hi folks I have a problem here with Muse. I have a Macbook Pro running on X.10.9.4
When I try to load my Thumbnails widget in a browser the feature stalls.
The full size imagery is optimized OK and will load fast directly on the page without any problem without the Thumbnail widget enabled. If I go to Preview with the widget enabled as a slideshow the whole thing slowly grinds to a halt, usually before all of the thumbnails load. When and if they do eventually load the preview window does not. I must be doing something wrong? That page will obviously not upload. @

What is the "thumbnail widget"?

Firefox 9 stalls when loading static pages, how do I fix it?

Windows 7 Firefox 9 beta worked fine up to about three days ago, now stalls loading static pages. Seems like Foxnews sites in particular. Have cleared caches and cookies. disabled realplayer with limited improvement

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

After installing itunes Windows 7 doesnt boot and stalls while loading atipcie.sys driver

After installing itunes my computer stalls when loading atipcie.sys driver. Computer will not boot up in safe mode or Last known good. Only resolution was to perform System Restore to a time before itunes was installed, thus deleting the itunes installation
Anyone know of a fix or workaround for this issue ?

Windows 7 64 bit core i7
BSOD while updating to iTunes 10 with suspended installation of Apple Mobile Device Support. Network drivers no longer working as a result. Attempted fix by downloading from a different machine and competing install via files transferred over on flash drive. No dice. Attempted removal of iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, Apple Software Update to see if this would fix. Followed this up with a restart. This seems to have improved matters as system is starting up faster. No dice. Try reinstall network drivers from Sony ViaoCare disk. Installed and restarted. No dice. Next, try Widows 7 Network and Sharing diagnostics. No dice. Next try manual removal & reinstall of network driver using Device Manager, restart. Can't seem to re-install Network Controller. Still trying to solve this.

URL bar locked

This is a strange safari problem, and I can't seem to fix it.
It isn't allowing me to type directly into the URL bar. When I try to click into it, it just doesn't let me.
I've been through preferences and I can't see anything relevant. I downloaded the most recent update, is it something to do with that?

Hi
Two possibilities -
First, drag the existing bar off the bar by pressing the command key as you click/drag it. Then go to the View Menu>Customize Toolbar and drag a new URL window to the bar.
If that doesn't allow access, then the problem may be caused by corruption in the preference file. Via the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the trash, then restart Safari. This resets Safari preferences to default values. Restore any custom settings in either the Preference panel, Edit Menu (spelling), or View Menu. Also, restore any custom icons on the toolbar via the Customize Toolbar option.
Also, the reset adds Apple default bookmarks to your Bookmarks collection (command/option/B keys). Delete any you don't want.

When opening new tab, don't select URL bar

I changed the browser.newtab.URL entry in about:config from about:newtab to http://www.google.com/ncr. My default action for opening a new tab was "ctrl-t", followed by "alt-home" (and my homepage is http://www.google.com/ncr), so I thought less keypresses is better :)
Now, when I open a new tab, it does load Google, however, it still highlights/selects the URL bar (I believe this to be default behiour). This hinders my workflow, as I still have to click on the google search bar :(
When I go to my home page (click "Home" button or press "alt-home") it doesn't highlight the URL bar, but allows me to instantly type my query into the Google search bar. This gives me hope that what I want is possible.
Could someone tell me that it is indeed possible?
Ps. I am deliberately using firefox 22.0 and upgrading is not an option for me, even if this was the solution. Any other solution would be highly appreciated.

Instead of using the ''browser.newtab.url'' preference, configure what opens in a new tab with the Custom New Tab add-on.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/

Firefox loads only blank new tabs for all web pages, with blank url bar.

After a minor automatic update (16.0.1 --> 16.0.2), firefox is now completely unusable.
Any time I attempt to load a page, it only shows a blank tab labeled 'new tab'.
The url bar for this page will be blank if I try to open it from a link or bookmakrk.
The url bar for this page will be exactly what I typed if I manually typed a url.
Right-clicking the blank pages does nothing: no context menu.
The 'troubleshooting information' page DID load properly though; it's the only page I've been able to display at all so far.
Restarting firefox did not fix the issue.
Restarting firefox in safe mode with addons disabled did NOT fix the issue -- so please don't waste time trying to tell me it's the addons.
Changing network proxy settings did not fix the issue.
There are no connection problems: IE can load pages just fine from the same computer.
I love mah firefox... but now it's dead... please help!

Update: Solved:
Firefox works properly after restarting entire computer.
It's poor form to require computer restarts for minor browser updates... and even poorer to not say so when you do.
(Some of us are running servers in the background that should not be interrupted.)

How can I display the URL bar and bookmarks bar when I have the addons page opened?

It seems counter-intuitive to me that the Firefox addons page does not have the same toolbars that other tabs have, and I have not found an option to add them back in (or an addon to fix it). Instead of being able to enter a URL directly from the addons page or click a bookmark, I must navigate away from the tab before I can go anywhere else. Additionally, it graphically looks out of place when I shift through tabs and most of the toolbars disappear for a second as I move over the addons tab.
Some other utilities that use their own pages manage to preserve the toolbar customization without removing it completely, so I'm wondering if there's a way for the addons page to do it as well.
An example of another utility that has its own page without removing the toolbars is the Download Manager Tweak addon. One of its options allows the user to open their download page as a tab, which also contains the toolbar customization of normal, browser tabs.
Thanks in advance!

Just for reference:
The solution to press a hotkey to move the text focus to a hidden navigation item (e.g. the URL bar or the search bar) was only a temporary fix, and only worked for Ctrl+K (search bar, maybe ctrl+E too but I didn't test it).
The problem didn't really bug me all too much until tonight, so I installed the Stylish script from the StackOverflow link above and the problem is solved now.

Progress bar in the portal does not appear all the time when loading

Hello All,
I have a dashboard in EP, when I click on it the majority of the time a progress bar appears when it is loading. Some time it does not, the page just appears to be doing nothing, then the dashboard will appear.
Any one else seen this issue?
Thanks

Hai check whether your using the latest EP patch levels that may solve your issue.

Hi! I need to load a GET url that si very long. On other browsers, I can load the url. In firefox 3.6, no. There is an addons or a plugin so I can extend this limit? If yes, is possible to load automatically this addons when loading a certain page? thanks

The url is sometingh like this (this is correctly loaded, but it could be longer)

Firefox should have problems with long GET data appended to an URL (long would be over 64k). 
If there are problems then it is possible that an extension is the cause of that.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Ewlett you are receiving this error because the AAM Detect plug-in is not yet installed. Please see Error referring to aam protocol when you click download button | CC for more details.

I have my settings to not fill in the URL bar when I type. Yet, when I type something, it's giving me a drop down of sites that match as I type. Why? And how do I get it to stop? It's really annoying.

Example: If I'm typing in www.mozilla.com, when I get to www.mo, it drops down a list of all the sites I've previously gone to that start with that.

Quote: ''I have my settings to not fill in the URL bar when I type'' 
Do you have an extension to make that setting or did you change the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.urlbar.maxRichResults browser.urlbar.maxRichResults] on the about:config page to 0 or -1?
In the Firefox 3.0.x versions you are limited about what to do with the location bar.
* Old Location Bar: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/7637
If you update to Firefox 3.5.x or 3.6.x then you have more options for the location bar behavior.
