Why does firefox hang when opening and takes several minutes to come up?

Why does Firefox hang for several minutes before coming up?

I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back. Running the same dmesg command as snoxu results in a similar error message. I am forced to shutdown by holding the power button. Upon rebooting, I get an error message that all extensions have been turned off (using Gnome Shell). Then I have to logout and login.
Shutting down and then restarting works fine.

  • Why does Firefox hang when I try to open yahoo? It also hangs after I use it for a little bit.

    When I try to open yahoo Firefox will hang and when I try to restart it will close but stay running. It seems to have started when yahoo went to the new version.I reset my screen resolution to 1152 by 864 pixels like yahoo said no difference. Firefox will also hang if I go to several web sites with out going to yahoo. I changed my home page to Hotmail instead of yahoo and it will open just fine. Any help will be appreciated. Rodney.

  • Why does Firefox hang when accessing SSL content on Oracle 10.3.6 WebLogic with JSSE enabled?

    For several weeks we have been working with Oracle support to find out why our Firefox browser hangs for 20-30 seconds when connecting to SSL content on 10.3.6 WebLogic only when JSSE is enabled. It occurs when first attempting to connect to an enterprise WebLogic deployment. When JSSE is disabled the problem does not occur but JSSE must be enabled on WebLogic for our configuration. The problem also does 'not' occur when JSSE is enabled when using IE (8). In 10.3.5 WebLogic, the issue does not occur with Firefox but 10.3.6 is our preferred version and this is a major issue for us.
    For the Firefox version, we used version 18 and 17 with no difference. Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    I did remove the entry and restarted the managed server, but nodemanager added the option again.
    Regarding startup.properties, it doesn't have any ssl configuration:

  • Firefox "hangs" when opened and will not load first page

    I am running Firefox on Mac OS X and when I open it it hangs and does not load the first page. The whole application does not respond so I can't open it in safe mode or anything. I have to keep force quitting it.

    So no help from any one about this?

  • Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?

    Why does IE crash when opening a pdf file ?

    I think this is done by the browser when it is saving a temporary file and there's already a file with that exact name in the temp folder.

  • Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

    Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

    Hi,
    Do you see the issue every time you close captivate or is it only in some scenarios? Does it show any error messages? What captivate version are you using (64 bit or 32 bit)? Can you provide some more information or screenshots which can help us reproduce the issue.

  • Reboot hangs and takes several minutes to reboot

    Hello fellow archers I have a Vaio laptop and my system started to hang and takes several minutes to reboot.
    I have no real clue as to why since poweroff works fine and reboot used to work fine.
    I did a system update. And more recently migrated to systemd, may not be related
    edit: I found a workaround. Adding the following to my grub kernel line
    reboot=pci
    But it does not reboot quite the same way, meaning the power led no longer goes off and back on.
    Still haven't quite figured out why I can no longer reboot normally without this workaround.

  • Firefox crashes when opening and the crash report I get is Firefox 3.6.3 Crash Report [@ strlen | nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ].

    Firefox 3.6.3 crashes when opening and the Crash Report [[@ strlen nspr4.dll@0x15f9f ]. It was working perfectly fine and the last three days, I am having difficulty in opening firefox. It crashes with the above crash report every time I open. I came across the bad image error and did a clean reinstall multiple times and that did not help. I have firebug and firecookies as an addon.

    Usually doesn't immediately crash, although that happens also. Usually hangs, then crashes.
    Addons are WHY I use Firefox when it works. I am NOT on the bleeding edge any longer. I could go back to boring, boring, Chrome.

  • Firefox hangs when opening any context menu - save as, download window, options window, etc

    this is the third time i've had this problem with firefox...
    firefox hangs when trying to download images, files, etc. the right click context menu opens (with bookmark, save page, save image, etc options) but after selecting an option, save image or whatever, the actual save as dialogue box doesn't open and firefox locks up.
    many pages say to open the download pane and clear the history... i can't do that as trying to open the download pane locks it up, too. as does trying to open any other dialogues.
    the first time this happened the only solution i could find was a total wipe and re-install (simple uninstall/re-install didn't work... it had to be weeded out of the registry manually).
    the second time i just happened to be rebuilding my system, so i just did a fresh install on a fresh OS.
    this time i can't seem to resolve the problem with uninstall and re-install...
    help?

    found out what was doing it!
    after trying firefox safe mode and windows safe mode and any number of other things i'd kinda given up for a bit there, but i woke from a dream in the middle of the night thinking "based on the behaviour involved it *must* be something in the shell that's causing this." (sorry, i dream in geek.)
    so i grabbed a shell viewer editor - ShelleExView (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html) (had to use an icky, lesser browser to be able to download it) and gave it a run.
    i listed all the extensions by the date they were added as a clsid and tried to think back to when the problem began... about a month or so after a fresh system reinstall. and through a little trial and error disabling i found the culprit.
    it was an icon overlay handler put in by something called WagerLogic. after looking into the company name i'm going to have to assume this was related to one of the annoying "come lose real money at our virtual casino" pop-ups that infest the net nefariously panning for an easy mark like dickensian orphans.
    i disabled it et voila! firefox is back to full function again.

  • Why does Firefox DRAG when editing files online?

    2nd request for help.. :)
    Why does firefox 9 drag when either editing files online, or entering code into a description box. The more FF thinks there are spelling errors, the worse the dragging becomes. Sometimes it is so bad the mouse cursor is stuck to the screen.

    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

  • Why does the installer not open and finish the install after it downloads?

    I do not not understand why the downloader will not open and finish the install after it downloads - all I get is more advertising junk trying to sell me things I don't need.

  • IPod locks up and takes several minutes to unlock

    I have a 20 GB ipod with photo capabilities that is about a year and half old. Often times it will lock up, even when the "hold" is switched into the unlocked position. It ususally takes several minutes to unlock and then when it does, it bounces back and forth between being unlocked and locked. This will happens without ever touching the hold switch. Has this happened to anyone else?

    I am also having this problem. When trying to reboot, I get an endless cycle of the BIOS screen, then "MACHINE ERROR", then back.

  • Why does firefox hang up and say it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage?

    firefox hangs up and says it "got confused", when I try to switch from using facebook as myself to using facebook as a page I manage.

    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.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    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")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • Why does Firefox crash when I open Adobe, Firefox & all plug ins including Adobe are up to date and current, WHY?

    Firefox crashes when I open Adobe (pdf) ALL plug ins are up to date as is FF

    This is a known issue with Adobe Reader, and it depends on Adobe updating their plugin.
    Whilst you're waiting for Adobe to fix their plugin, you can disable it and fallback to the default PDF reader in Firefox by following these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
