When a website is slow or won't load, how do I stop it without exiting Firefox?

It was easy in earlier version. This has been so frustrating in the last year or two that I finally had to ask.

Thanks, Fred McD. I know to use the X to close, but I don't want to close Firefox when a page is taking too long to load. Also reloading the page doesn't always work.
I guess my only option is to open a blank tab, so I can close the tab that isn't loading. What a hassle! Firefox used to have an easy way to stop a page from loading.

I downloaded the Open DNS thing and I havne't got a masters degree in computers - so i haven't a clue what it does or what its supposed to do.
Overall i'm really really sorry i bought an apple and i won't be doing it again - i just need it to access the web properly!

When i click to 'go to video' a page opens onto eurosport but the video won't appear - there's just a blank spot on the page where it should be.
i get some of the pictures on the page but lots of black squares where other pictures should be.
Make sure you have the following installed:
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian
Adobe Flash Player Software
After the installations, repair permissions and restart your computer.

Uninstall it asap. In order to avoid damaging your system/directory which can result in costly repairs, never install software if you do not know what it does and/or you have no clue on how to use it. If the software comes w/instructions (Read Me file), read it prior to installation.

In order to load games on Facebook you need to set the Flash plugin to allow third-party content
1. Go to the Flash player Global Storage Settings panel.
2. Make sure '''Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer''' is check marked.

How do I stop extra instances of Firefox program being opened by another page when it loads?

How do I stop extra instances of Firefox program being opened by another page when it loads?
When I log on to a favorite site it loads OK. The site has a number of pages. When I move to the second or third page, a second instance of Firefox automatically starts and loads an advertisement. I can block the site that tries to load the page, but I cannot stop the second instance of Firefox from loading up. So in the end I might have three or four instances of Firefox all going at once.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox is deleting my development extensions when firefox loads, how can I stop this, I am losing work

I am developing Firefox addons. Ever since the update to 18.0 Firefox is deleting my development extensions/folders from the profile folder when firefox loads, how can I stop this, I am losing work!

It seems to have stopped not sure if it was a version update or disabling Windows EFS encryption of the profile folders. I have noticed EFS seems to cause issues in general.

HT4009 I bought a quiz tunes app and it just keeps flashing on an off it won't load how do I get a refund or what can I do please help

I bought a quiz tunes app it won't load how do I get a refund or what can I do

Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the app (via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, if that tab is working), and if that doesn't fix it then have you tried contacting the developer (there should be a link to the developer's site on the app's description page in the store) ? If re-downloading and contacting the developer doesn't get you anywhere then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Firefox 3.6.10 update won't load on restart (tried many times) and exits after warning to restart again - how to disable warning so don't have to start twice every time I use Firefox?

I regret agreeing to download Firefox 3.6.10 update, as it is somehow corrupted, and will not load when I restart. Subsequently, every time I start Firefox, it warns "Update Ready to Install", then when I don't restart (if I restart, it won't load) it exits, and I have to start Firefox a second time. Then it works without the warning, but when I exit and start Firefox again, the warning returns and the cycle repeats. This is such a nuisance I have gone back (reluctantly) to Explorer. Is there anyway for me to get rid of this corrupted update and go back to before I downloaded the fateful update?

IOS 7 Mail keeps crashing when I try to open a new message. How do I stop it from crashing?

In the last 24 hours after switching to iOS 7, Mail has crashed on me 3 or 4 times when tapping on the mail icon in the tray. How do I stop this from happening. I have an iPad 2 16GB.

All the suggestions posted were valid ideas, but they didn't help in the end. I finally had to restore the iPad. First, I tried clearing up space, and that didn't work, then I deleted all my e-mail acounts and that didn't work. So, in preparation, I deleted all e-mail accounts, then I turned off photo syncing from iTunes (from my iPhoto account where I had about 10 GB of photos synced), then I backed up this configuration to my iMac via iTunes. Then I followed procedures in this kb article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 except I restored from the backup when asked. I manually re-entered all my e-mail accounts (I have a lot) and Mail was working perfectly now. Then I re-synced a limited subset of the photos I had synced before, and all is fine. I think the only problem I really had was a corrupted iOS Mail app, and luckily I was able to solve the issue with a only factory reset and restore from backup!

Firefox won't load pages and says "Stopped" in the lower left corner of the screen.

From last night "Latest FF and XP Pro. 2.4 Ghz Celeron, 1 gig RAM. FF will work for a while, then it will stop loading pages and say "Stopped" in the lower left corner of screen. Sometimes I can refresh and the page will load, but 95 out of 100 times I can keep refreshing and it will say "Stopped". Or, the page will partially load and then quit and say "Stopped". I have disabled IPv6 and DNS Prefetching and it is still doing it. IE is doing about the same thing. VERY frustrated. My last PC started doing this and I finally upgraded to a newer one and it was fine for a couple months, but started doing the same recently. Arghhh ... Thanks!"
Thanks to you who replied last night/this morning. I hit the "solved" button apparently but this from last night-
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/702910#threadId703008
is not solved. I tried FF 3.5.9 and still have the same problem.
Thanks again,

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a while back

You, me and many others (based on threads throughout the net) have this same problem. I've had some peeps at Mozilla take a look, they couldn't find a problem or a solution.
Here's what I found does work - The problem popped up on me when I upgraded to Firefox 3.63. Uninstall FF 3.63, and install 3.59. You can still download it until end of June or July I think.
My problems went away with 3.59. Seems to only affect Window users as Mac Firefox 3.63 works fine.
Also found some threads pointing to ZoneAlarm Firewall, timeout handlers and some upload tools. I don't have ZoneAlarm so I don't think that was the cause, just another victim.
I wish Mozilla would pull the plug on 3.63, re-package 3.59 as 3.64 and go back to the drawing board until they find out whats wrong.

When a website is slow or won't load, how do I stop it without exiting Firefox?
