When I go to tools then options firefox stopes working and freezes

when I go to tools then options Firefox freezes and I have to go to task manager and end task to close Firefox and it has been like this for a long time. I just had my computer in the shop and had them go over everything and when I got it back it worked ONCE then stopped again ?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

Tried the un-install and getting the same problem although it takes a bit longer before it crashes this time. Checked the problem report and it looks the same as the previous reports.

I unplugged my iPod Classic without ejecting it first. It played for many hours after this but then it just stopped working and it has a blackened screen that seems to say paused. Wondering if there is a way to get it to work again.

Hey hughborg25,
I found an article that can help you troubleshoot when an iPod becomes unresponsive or the screen goes black:
iPhone, iPad or iPod touch: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
I would go through all the steps listed there, and the issue should be resolved by the end.
Live long and prosper,

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.

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" and shuts down every few mins or less.

A message pops up that says Firefox has stopped working and to close the program. I can "refresh" to the same spot but it's happening every few mins or less. Any suggestions? It's only been happening for the past 3 days, and like others who's systems are "crashing," it's only been happening since the newest update (18) updated onto my computer. I have already done the Firefox refresh or whatever it was called... The only thing that did was get rid of my extra bookmark toolbar rows...still trying to figure out how to get those back! :(

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
#Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.
Thanks in advance for your help!

When i use google chrome my display driver stop working and then recover, what i do to avoid it?

i use hp g61, if any one know about my problem then please reply.

Hi arman124, and welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are experiencing a problem with the display driver stopping and recovering when using Google Chrome. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. To better guide you, could you please tell me the full model number of your notebook and the operating system running on it. Here are some guides for How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? and Which Windows operating system am I running?.
I am also including this video for How To fix "Display Driver Stopped Responding " in hopes that it will resolve your issue.
Please let me know how it goes.
Thank you and have a great day!

Flash stops working and freezes firefox. I have Fast dial and dont want to lose it so what can I do to fix this?

It doesnt matter what site or what I am doing it will come up randomly and freeze firefox then finally a box pops up and says Flash is busy or not responding continue or stop plugin. Naturally I stop plugin. I always install the latest flash versions I have even uninstall and reinstalled flash and downgraded and still no change or it bugs me to update. I am using firefox 26.0 I usually stay away from the betas if all possible. My biggest worry with using the reset firefox or making a new profile is my fast dial I have tons of sites right there waiting for me to click on and im afraid if I do all this I will lose it. But I have used same profile for years and years so maybe its time. I will just have to redo my fast dial I guess Unless someone can come up with another way to do it. I have disabled hardware acceleration on firefox I have to it makes my browser do some weird things. I also have disabled Hardware acceleration in flash as well. I have cleant temp files and registry. I am good with computers but have never seen issues like this with flash. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks.

Sounds like you have done a lot. Have you tried to make a new profile for TESTING purposes only? You could have a bad profile. it is possible.
Also, have you tried protect mode for flash? I wrote up a bat file to set it up so you don't have to go digging through system files.
Also i have some unorthodox methods you will not see in these forums to try out if you are interested as they have resolved several peoples that i can confirm issue. I have been going crash free for over 6 months now since i implemented. Believe me some issues nothing in these forums will resolve. Click on my name on the left there is a blog i created just for this issue with all the info and some of the fixes. Everything is fully automated. Very little user interaction.
This will NOT work for everyone, but you cant hurt by trying
Best regards

Firefox stops working and I have to close and restart the browser to get it to work again.

I am using a dell laptop with windows 8 I have a wireless connection. Firefox stops responding, I can be on say, facebook and if I try doing something it won't do it, I can't click on a new tab to open i can't click home. My wireless gives me no indication that I have lost a signal or that it is weak. The only way to get the browser to respond is to close it and reopen it.
It's not just on facebook it's on every site I go to that it does this so it's not a site problem. I get no error message unless I manage to open a tab and it says the connection has reset then tells me to check everything and I do and everything is fine.

If it works in Windows Safe mode then you likely have a problem with your security software that is blocking Firefox and possibly other browser.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
You may need to ask advice at the support site of that software if you can't fix it via the setup of that software.
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.

My itunes has stopped working out of nowhere. When I open iTunes a message appears stating "iTunes has stopped working." and windows closes iTunes sayng it will look for a solution. I have Windows 8.1 64-Bit and have been using iTunes 11.1 (or the newest one out there). I have un-installed and re-installed multiple times. The same message continues to pop up.

Hi biazonmg,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes is unexpectedly quitting when you open it, this article has steps to isolate and troubleshoot that:

HI im using the latest itunes program and everytime i try to use it it freezes and will not work i had uninstalled once worked once then went back and freezes again. i had updated my laptop after i uninstalled it the reinstalled it after the laptop updates. im using a window 7 hp laptop i need help

Check this Apple article out -> iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
Does your computer have one of the LSPs mentioned in the article?
If it does, try resetting Winsock.

Very often Firefox stops responding and freezes for about 15 seconds and then resumes

Whether I am on a particular website, searching or playing games I keep getting the screen freezing and at the top bar it says "Not Responding" - this will clear on its own after about 10-15 seconds but then 5-10 minutes later it happens again!

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

I recently purchased Star Trek into Darkness on Bluray in the UK. When the digital copy with the movie had finished downloading in iTunes, it said processing and then iTunes suddenly stopped working and I had to shut it down. Now I can't see it at all.

Can any one help as the digital copy downloaded but was processing when iTunes froze and then I had to shut it down. I have the latest version and am using iTunes on a windows PC. I would imagine similar problems could arise on download processing if there was a power cut so surely iTunes knows that my ID has redeemed the movie and it will continue now?
Can anyone help?

I forgot to add that when I looked at the store for available downloads it only continued to download the movie extras which is only 69MB of menu items and no movie content.
