  • When ever the Download window opens firefoxes freezes/stops responding. I can't do anything with it. As soon as it opens, no response. I disabled most of my add-ons but still doesn't work. It's only started recently. Maybe a week or so.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • When trying to customise-organise the Firefox 17 does not allow the bookmarks toolbar to be placed above the tabs toolbar is there a solution other than reverti

    When trying to customize-organise the Firefox 17 does not allow the bookmarks toolbar to be placed above the tabs toolbar is there a solution other than reverting to a previous version of FF?

    # Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
    # Press the big button to bypass the warning.
    # In the search box, paste ''browser.tabs.onTop''
    # In the search results, double-click ''browser.tabs.onTop'' to set its value to '''false'''.
    Note: If you're using either Windows 7 or Vista with an Aero Windows theme, performing the above will make a large part of the Firefox window glassy. If you find this unpleasant, the simplest thing to do is to install a persona.

  • Firefox beta 18 "not responding" every time I load a page. This didn't occur as much with FF3.5.4.

    I have tried various upgrades/updates of Firefox (4 and above). I currently have Firebox beta 18. EVERY TIME I load a page, the browser will always hang and I get "Not Responding" in the status bar. The hang time is usually more than a few minutes or I'd have to end the program through the task manager. Sometimes after the freeze, I'll get a "warning: script was unresponsive" popup and then it will freeze again (I can't even press 'stop script' or 'continue') because the popup is "not responding".
    I don't seem to have this problem with FF3.5.4 (only this version has deemed compatible) however I can't view flash plugins/media or certain features of a webpage because it's not updated. Therefore I would not like to downgrade back to 3.5.4 because there's no point if I can't view half the things on a page..

    If you've updated from a version as ancient as 3.5.4, then you run the risk of encountering problems. You should start with a fresh profile to ensure old preferences, data files and changes made by extensions are not interfering.
    First, create a backup copy of your profile folder, just to be safe.
    * [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    Then use the Reset Firefox feature.
    * [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
    If the problem persists, see the following article.
    * [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
    Do not reinstall old versions of Firefox. They contain security vulnerabilities and shouldn't be used. Very old versions might also be unable to handle data files in your profile folder in their new formats, which can lead to all sorts of problems. And lastly, many websites require a modern browser to work properly.

  • I am unable to open adobe bridge on my mac. When I try to open it nothing happens. When I right click it says the application is not responding. I can also not op en through photoshop. Please help

    I am unable to open adobe bridge on my mac. When I try to open it nothing happens. When I right click it says the application is not responding. I can also not op en through photoshop.

    Could you see whether Firefox will start in its Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    Here's how:
    With Firefox closed, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox.
    A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Does that work?

  • Safari freezes and not respond, Chrome works great why?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite, and Safari keeps freezing and not responding I have tried everything from removing aches, remove web history but keep freezing. On the other hand, Chrome works fantastic so needs to be something only related with Safari. Apple says Safari goes 6x faster than other web browser, well in my hands in can prepare my lunch and finish it before it opens one page, so 6x faster maybe in Cupertino because not in my laptop. Any suggestions of how to fix the Safari????

    Hi ...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:  Remove All Website Data
    No open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, try troubleshooting extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding

    Mac Pro wont software update and a lot of apps keep freezing/crashing/not responding Im on OSX Lion and i have a Mac Pro 1.1 please help

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Itunes 10 update on windows 7 makes it freeze and not respond

    Ever since I updated my itunes to the newest version my itunes will freeze and not respond everytime I open it.
    I use windows 7 and have not add-ons
    any help

    Many thanks.
    That's consistent with an application (other than QuickTime itself) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Why do I get 'mobile me' in settings and not icloud? when I try to go into it, it says not responding, try later.

    Hi
    Could anyone help me with this please?
    Why do I get 'mobile me' in settings on my imac and not 'icloud'? when I try to go into it, it says not responding, try later.
    Thanks

    Why do I get 'mobile me' in settings on my imac and not 'icloud'?
    Because your operating system is too old. iCloud was introduced in Mac OS X 10.7.4 and later. You can upgrade through the Mac App Store. The latest version is Mac OS X 10.9.3 and is free if your Mac is capable of running it (late 2007 IMac's and newer).
    when I try to go into it, it says not responding, try later.
    MobileMe was shut down forever a few years ago, that's why it doesn't work any more.
