Firefox is freezing. When I close Firefox, and try to re-start it, it will not open. I need to access Task Manager, where I find Firefox still running. I close Firefox in Task Manager & can re-start Firefox.

Firefox is freezing in the middle of a browsing session. When I close Firefox, and try to re-start it, it will not open. I need to access Task Manager, where I find Firefox to still be running. Once I close Firefox in Task Manager, I can re-start Firefox. This can happen several times in the space of a few hours? I'm running Vista Home premium with Firefox 3.6.16, and this problem has only started in the last 4 weeks. Can Anyone Help? Core 2 Duo E7300 with 4GB RAM.

Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

Mac OS X equivilant to Windows Task Manager?

Hey all,
I'm wondering if Apple has hidden away a secret (or hard-to-find) task manager-like utility for this great operating system? I tend to use it a lot under Windows, and, just for curiosity's sake, would love to know if OS X has something similar.
Just so all of you know, I have tried terminal commands such as top, which is somewhat similar, but less... graphical.
So yeah, if anyone knows anything, this would be great!
Thanks for your time!

Or if you just want to see applications that are running as you would under the applications TAB in task manager then just click on the apple menu and then force quit (or CommandOptionExcape) and it will come up with all programs running and will tell you if there are any not responding. But definitely Activity Monitor if you want to see everything that is going on as Neil said.

Firefox hangs after a few hours. The task manager shows it using 50% of the time, and I don't see where it's doing anything. What is going on?

It will not respond to any mouse clicks or key presses. I use the task manager to shut it down. When I restart, I select the option to restart Firefox with the same tabs and it does that and runs fine for a few hours and then it hangs again.

iPhones are not user servicable.
Take the device to a competent repair person or buy a new one.

Firefox crashes on shutdown, shows not responding, must use task manager to end task, windows says problem is with container.exe file

whenever i decide to shut down firefox, i click on the x in the first tab and it will not shutdown the program. i must go to task manager to close the program. i get an error report that says there was a problem with add-on container.exe. i have looked in my add-on list and i see no container.exe there. where is it coming from and how do i get rid of this problem. i have even tried to shutdown the program with the x in the upper right corner and it does the same thing. i have recently updated firefox and it still does the same thing.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Mozilla Nightly not open in windows. When I try open by clicking it loads for micro second and then nothing happen. But nightly seen in task manager at process.

I have install Nightly for 64 bit in my Win-7. After new update of 29....it not respond. When i click on icon nothing happen. For checking if nightly is open or not..I check task manager where firefox process is seen in Process tab but not in APPLICATION tab so I cant maximize it.
The only solution is reinstall fresh copy without my backup .... it works for bit moments...then old problem occurs.
If anyone have solution . Please share it....Thanks all

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.''

What Keys to press to get Windows 7 Task Manager on MacBook Pro ?

What Keys to press to get Windows 7 Task Manager on MacBook Pro ?

Thanks for the help. I got the Task Manager thru the taskbar, but I was and still am trying to it by key entry because that is what I am used to. My MBP has a delete key, unlike other keystroke attempt that I have
tried where a delete key isn't on a Mac. I also am a retired enggggineeeer so there's bound to be confusion because I am left-handed too.
Thanks again !!!!

Multiple instances of firefox in task manager but FF doesn't open

- Windows XP SP3 (up to date with all critical updates)
- FireFox 25.0.1 (Note: Originally I had version 31 but a few days ago that stopped working)
- Norton Security Suite (the comcast version) up to date
- I have IE6 and Chrome 37 as backup browsers (Note: when FF stopped working, IE8 had also stopped working - page would open, only one system process, but page would never load)
Ran the following scans:
- SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
- Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
- Ad-Aware Antivirus
- Spybot-S&D Start Center
Found a few non-critical yet potential infections (nothing too crazy)
Symptom persists as follows:
- fresh boot of computer
- open task manager (no instances of FF)
- open firefox - process appears in task manager and immediately goes to 50%
(nothing opens and nothing listed in Applications)
- open a second instance of firefox - 2nd process appears in task manager
(still nothing opens and neither instance appears in Applications
(the two instances continue to run at a cumulative 50% CPU usage - one might be 15% and the other running at 35% - or both running at 25% each)
- open a third instance of firefox
(still nothing opens, and all three instances show in task manager processes and cumulatively run at 50% - example:15 +15 + 20 or 10 + 15 + 25)
Troubleshooting:
restored a drive image from May 2014
- Note: Dec 2013 I had done a complete FRESH new install of Windows XP in prep for EOL and installed all updates, including SP3, so the image I chose from May was only 5 months old, but I chose that one because of some of the other programs I had installed that month and didn't want to go through that again
- Note #2: I have drive image run a monthly PQI backup of my C: drive and my R: drive) I have two hard drives 300G each whereas C: drive is OS only and R: drive is all my downloads, my documents, my photos, etc)
- after the image restored, I tried to open FF and IE8, neither app was problematic. FF auto updated from what version, I don't know, but it was on 31 when I realized the problem was BACK. Also ran some WIN critical updates, and IE8 stopped working too!
uninstalled IE8 (rolled back to IE6 and now IE works - but obviously I can not live with IE6 - I need to update that!) uninstalled FF31 (and deleted all temp and profile account folders) and installed a brand new copy of FF25 - whereas I immediately force stopped autoupdater and deleted the update files so I could remain on FF25.
Now FF25 will open only on the second instance of the process (the first will always go to 50% CPU, the second will open and run between 0 and 10 CPU, and only one application in Applications)
- I have learned that I can kill the 50% process using task manager or process explorer and total CPU usage will drop down to 0% - 10%
I can open many many tabs without any problems, and I can right click a link to open a new window and all is good, BUT if I use the desktop ICON, the quick launch ICON or the START > Programs > Icon, then the NEXT process will go to 50% and no second window will open
I have seen dozens of forums that have reported similar memory issues, but none have been resolved.
Can you help me? I don't want to upgrade IE6 to IE8 just yet, but I will not use it for anything but testing until I can upgrade. Note: besides being painfully slow, I have been switching to Chrome, but I have never enjoyed Chrome.... I am using FF right now to ask for help.
Any suggestions?

I have the "techie" answer for all of you. According to the tier 2 support at Norton Help Desk, the latest live update from Norton "utilizes Visual Studio 2012 which enables SSE2 instructions" and my processor can not handle that.
He said they are "working on a solution" and offered to reply back on Wednesday / Thursday this week if a solution could be found...

Windows is unable to locate the Task Manager.

Hello,
I recently had a frozen application which won't close by any means and I found this software called "process explorer" (which I later found out that it can also be downloaded through microsoft.com? something to do with sysinternals.com)
to do the job but, it didn't do the job either and was annoying as hell. I did the mistake of replacing the real task manager with this software (using an option in the menu bar) and the task manager won't start now. :( even tried to start the app by
running the taskmge.exe as an administrator and I am the only admin of this computer. It still won't run.
Since this "process explorer" does not need to even be installed (because it comes as a .rar file and has to be run from there without an option to install it), I'm finding it even harder to get back to where I was before using it.
The error message on the windows says "Windows cannot find the 'C:\windows\sysytem32\taskmgr.exe' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
Thanks for any help.

ITunes shows in Task Manager but doesn't run

I was having an issue where my iTunes would start and show as a process running in Windows Task Manager, however, the GUI interface would never show up. I could end the process, but restarting the application led me to the sam state I was in before; the process was there, but no iTunes.
I am running Windows XP Media Centre 2005 edition with rollup 2, 2Gb of RAM, AVG AntiVirus, all the latest MS patches and Windows Defender all up-to-date. Stopping all the anti virus and anti-malware programs didn't help. Reinstalling iTunes did nothing, and installing the stand-alone version of QuickTime did not work either.
I searched many an archived article to find the particular solution that worked for me, and I have linked to it below.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386
Hope this helps someone in the future. It was a very frustrating exercise, to say the least.

Firefox shows in task manager, but won't open

Firefox doesn't open, though it opens once in a while. It shows in task manager and takes up 50% CPU usage, and ending process and retrying doesn't work. Profile manager doesn't open either. There's no error message, and have restarted laptop (Windows XP) many times, but no results.
Help would be appreciated!

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

Firefox won't start properly. The process begins in task manager, but the program doesn't start.I have restarted the computor, and updated my plug-ins. Don't know what to do next. It will open in safe mode, but not regularly.

When we click on the icon to start firefox even though the process opens in task manager, the program screen doesn't open

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

FireFox showing 126,000+ K in the Task manager, but doesn't appear

Hello, today I started FF. After about three minutes, it didn't appear so I double clicked its icon again. It still didn't show.
I then opened the Task manager, and FF was 126,000+ K. I had to use another browser. I attended a webinar online, and as soon as the webinar ended, FF worked just fine. What could have caused what I experienced? Thanks for any help you can offer.

When closing my Firefox window, all processes are not closing requiring me to open task manager and kill the process before using Firefox again. Received recent upgrade and hasn't worked right since then.

I open Firefox, use it, then close the window. Try to reopen Firefox and it fails with a message that a previous process is still running. Requires me to open Task Manager and kill the old process.

Try to wait a bit longer before reopening Firefox to give Firefox more time to close completely. 
Try to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
