When I try to clear browsing history the page locks up and I get a 'programme not responding' message

I go to 'Tools' click 'clear browsing history'. Nothing happens and when I try to shut down the page, the 'Programme not responding' box appears.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Crap thought that text was all the characters I was allotted, not just the title.
    Anyway I wouldn't have even posted this if you guys would have allowed me to reply to the already existing thread I found through google. Said about 20 or so people had the same problem and no one found the contributor's answer useful, including myself.
    Anyway, I use Firefox, because it is one of two (other being internet explorer) that Trend Micro's security package includes protection with. Same with spyware blaster which I also use but Trend Micro is the deal breaker. Also I like Firefox 4 and your ad blocker is better than google chrome's. However if I continue to have problems with clearing my browser history it is back to Opera and Google Chrome for me. IObit Security supports both of them, it also seems to be the best security system I have ever come across, I will just pay for their subscription and stop using Trend Micro.
    This is a very big problem I hope it is being addressed. Only addon I have is your ad blocker. Also this is completely on your end, not ours. I am the perfect test, my computer is brand new, and by brand new I mean I just started using it the other day, the same day my firefox browser kept crashing as I attempted to clear my browsing history.

    Can't even clear an hours worth of browsing history without firefox crashing.

I then downloaded the newest version, installed it and I still get the error message as before. HELP!!!! I loved the browser program when it was working before and would rather use it than other browsers.

  • When I try to post a comment the page greys out but nothing else happens, and the comment is never posted.

    When I try to post a comment the page greys out. Clicking again restores the page, but the comment is unposted. Repeated clicking "Post comment" just repeats the greying out and restoring. I'm using 14.0.1 on win7 (64).

    Is this on one particular site? When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here (if you usually stay logged in to the site, this probably will log you out)
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page.
    If that doesn't help, perhaps something in Firefox 14 or one of your add-ons is not compatible with the site. Do you want to post the URL?

  • I'm getting this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." but unchecking the box for "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" has not helped. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. M'aidez

    Can't load Google Calendar.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. It's not reported as a generalised problem in Dashboard. Google Calendar opens and works fine on my 12" PowerBook G4, but this is a recent problem on my G5 13" MacBook Pro. Mayday!

    No I'm not using NoScript, but I'm pleased to report that the problem got resolved by deleting the original bookmark, logging in again, opening Google calendar, then bookmarking it again.

  • Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page

    Everytime I logon to firefox, I get this message:- "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page".
    I then go to "Tools/options/Advanced/General/Accessibility" and uncheck the box, why can't I uncheck once and not have to do it again?
    It is annoying to have to repeat the uncheck option everytime.

    There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
    If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

  • When I try to backup my catlaog the program locks up at "Calculating Total Media Size" 33%?

    When I try to backup my catlaog the program locks up during the "Calculating Total Media Size" process at 33%?

    I have seen this before and it is probably a bad video. There is no great solution. To determine if this is the cause I would remove all your videos from PSE and try to do a backup, if the backup works, one of the videos is bad. It is trial and error to determine which video. When you remove your videos from PSE make a note as to where you have put them so you can reload them..

  • Fel: 0x8004010F: ZebraMapiCopySession::CreateMobileMeMessageStore: CreateMessageService failed   This is what i get when i try to activate contacts in the icloud control panel and no contacs are syncronised..... iPhone 3GS, Windows 7

    Fel: 0x8004010F: ZebraMapiCopySession::CreateMobileMeMessageStore: CreateMessageService failed
    This is what i get when i try to activate contacts in the icloud control panel and no contacs are syncronised.....
    iPhone 3GS, Windows 7

    After much some reasearch I fixed this problem for my problem computer.  I have two computers running Windows 7 64-bit, one working with iCloud contact/calendar sync and the other getting this "0x8004010F: ZebraMapiCopySession::CreateMobileMeMessageStore: CreateMessageService failed" error (when you look at the report data to Apple).
    So when I compared my system to a working system, I found that there was a difference in the bit-named DLL used by iCloud.
    Go to Outlook, File, Options, Add-Ins and in the Active Application Add-ins section highlight "iCloud Outlook Addin".  You'll find the DLL name there.
    On my working computer, it was APLZOD6432.DLL, while on my problem computer it was APLZOD32.DLL.  Ah ha!  Its trying to setup Outlook 64 with a 32-bit iCloud DLL.  Or so I thought.
    I looked for a 64-bit specific install for iCloud.  Nope, iCloud 1.1 is for both.  Hmmm...
    I thought I had installed Office 2010 64-bit on my problem computer, but apparently I installed 32-bit.  I was able to confirm this by going into Outook, File and Help.  Under "About Microsoft Outlook" it said 32-bit.  Checking the working computer, it was showing 64-bit Outlook.
    So this also brought another thought to my mind.  Maybe the problem is because I installed the iCloud control panel before I installed Office 2010.    That said, I uninstalled iCloud Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs), and re-installed it from the manual download page http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455 and tried contact syncing again.  It worked!
    Then I went to check the DLL in use.  It was APLZOD32.DLL.  So perhaps iCloud sets up for 64-bit Office when no office is installed on Windows 7 64-bit and breaks when you install 32-bit.  Or there is a part of iCloud install that needs to be done with Office installed.  Either way, I'm happy to have the issue fixed.  Leaving the 32-bit Office there for now.

    Were you getting that doing the update via Apple Software Update?
    If so, try instead updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Works fine on macs but when i load the page on p.c i get 404 media not foun

    works fine on macs but when i load the page on p.c i get 404 media not found. Which is odd since it works on any mac i've tried on the same network, does anyone have any ideas?

    I too am having the 404 media not found on my blogs, but its on both my mac and pcs. I am wondering if your macs can see it because of them being bound to the server?? Just an idea, which doesn't help me at all. So if you find a way to fix it please please post it.
