Why does my updated version of Firefox keep freezing telling me "not responding"? I have no plugins either..

When i start firefox it takes forever to load, sometimes it doesnt even load up my default site, it should load up www.google.com but instead it loads www.ask.com. The reason why is because the browser isnt working correctly.
When I try to view any website, or search on Google it takes forever for something to happen, and 95% of the time the whole browser almost turns completely WHITE, then at the top of the browser it says "Not Responding". I have to continue to close the browser and start a new session but it does the same thing.
I have no or extensions, nothing at all.
Whats going on? I never had problems with Firefox, what is going on?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Months ago

Where is the answer? I know the question that is how I got here in the first place. Again Where is the answer.

Why does the new version of Firefox keep freezing on me?

There are moments, expecially where I am typing in text boxes and the entire program freezes, says (Not Responding) and then sits for in excess of 30 seconds before it goes back to normal and I can continue typing. It is extremely inconvenient; has anyone else experienced this and can I fix it?

Hey wow, your answer was so vague that it was completely useless, but thanks for letting me know that Mozilla is not automatically updating! Is this how you always answer questions?

Firefox keeps saying it is not responding

i have a samsung netbook and have firefox 4 but when i go on the internet after a few mins it stops working and says on the blue line at the top 'not responding'. i have to restart my computer and start a over again. occasionally after a few mins it will start working again but this is rare.
any advise??

WOW i think i just fixed it myself......i went to control panel, system and security, find and fix problems,clicked run programs made for earlier versions of windows, scroll down click mozilla firefox, then click recommended settings. i did this and it has not froze up yet!!!! i will keep you updated if it continues to work you will not hear back from me!

Why does the latest version of firefox insist flash player is out of date and blocks play back but it is the latest update

Flash Player Plugin between 11.0 and 11.7.700.169 (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection.this is what firefox tells me but when i check the add-ons manager it says version 15.0.0.239 is installed.how can i get firefox to recognize the right version

The Plugin check is behind on what versions is current to check for so it is useless at moment until it is updated.
This is because 15.0.0.2'''39''' is not the latest Firefox 15 version as there has been at least 15.0.0.2'''42''' which is on blocklist and 15.0.0.2'''46''' which is not on the blocklist as according to Adobe it is not affected.
Flash Player Plugin 14.0 to 15.0.0.242
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/blocked/p798
Flash Player Plugin 10.3.183.66 to 13.0.0.258
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p794
So for Windows and Mac 16.0.0.235, 13.0.0.25'''9''' ESR and
15.0.0.24'''6''' are not vulnerable according to Adobe and are not on blocklist.
'''philipp''' you need to update your posting for this as Mozilla made a two part blocklist on Friday so as to not block the 13.0.0.258 ESR version and your link is for one of the two blocklists for Win/Mac.

Why does a different version of firefox open from links in emails

I haven't been using Firefox long but have added FVD speed dial and a couple of other things and I find that, if I click on a link in an email or something a plain version of Firefox opens, without any extensions etc. if the normal version isn't already running.
Is there any way to get my usual version to open from links?
I don't know if it makes any difference but I did switch to a portable version from the normal install as I run an SSD as a primary drive and couldn't get enough control over file placement with the normal install version and didn't notice if this happened before I changed over.

Sorry, Firefox Portable can't set as the Default Browser, which is what external links will use.

Why does the latest version of firefox come with so much spam software? Spent an hour uninstalling most of it. really annoyed. Loyal firefox user.

just downloaded a new version of Firefox and it loaded a heap of background programs that produce stupid pop ups for PC cleanup tools and other nuisance pop-up crap? When did you make the decision to add this crap to your freeware??? Most annoying......

After most recent update, Firefox keep hanging intermittently with "Not Responding".

After the most recent update, my Firefox browser begins to hang intermittently with "Not Responding". I have checked the extensions and plug-in like Java, all of them are the latest updated ones. Everytime I open a new site or click on links to load another page, it happens. Every single time.

'''is there a solution ''(temporary OR permanent)'' for this problem yet?'''
i tried '''EVERY possible alternative'''; even when opened in ''''''safe mode'''''' or when installed for the first time w| '''NO addons or ANYthing else''' but the '''original default settings''', still does the same thing.
mozilla people?? really?? no answer|feedback|suggestions, anything at all from u guys??
if it isnt a version (browser, OS, addons, etc) issue, what is it that separates us from the users not having the problem?
this is is very frustrating; h|e it's even more frustrating when there is no response from tech support. is it because there havent been enough people who have reported this same issue so there can be some interest & find a fix; OR is it that u dont know; OR that there is not & will not be any fix?
we cant continue being users if we cannot use it. it's really my favorite browser, but if it doesn't work & u guys dont have a fix for it, then users w| this same problem wont have any other option but to switch to a different browser permanently.
really mozilla??? nothing? a reply would be very nice...

Why does my Mac keep freezing and applications not responding?!?

Hello everyone, I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, 500gb HD, 4gb ram. The problem is that it keeps freezing. I am writing this on my iPhone because my laptop would probably just freeze up if I even attempted to open an application. The problem is that my laptop won't stop freezing up. As soon as I have any application open, it will stop being responsive, give me the beach ball spinning wheel thing, and I'll use command-option-escape to open the force quit menu (because at this point the mouse usually can me moved around the screen but just makes the system get worse) to force quit what ever applications I have open. Then finder will stop responding, and then nothing will work until I do a forced shut down (hold the power button down) and turn it back on again, where the same thing happens within a minute. I tried repairing permissions and doing a P RAM reset, but have had no success with either. Please help, this is ridiculous, I can barely use my laptop and I need it for school. Thanks,
-Dylan

I have the latest update. Why does my reader still hang up and give me the "Not responding" message. I'm on Windows Vista.

This is a most frustrating situation. Constantly getting the "not responding" message and any further click of the mouse, and adobe reader goes pale and I have to "end process." What's the deal? This use to be a very reliable program. Now, it's nothing but frustrating and bothersome.

I had the 10.1.10 version and have updated it to the 10.1.11 version. I
restarted my computer. Same old problem. Adobe Reader hangs up anytime I
try to move a document to the second page, for example. Is there an older
version I can go back to to avoid this problem. I'm seeking to view two
documents--both from Windows Publisher saved as pdf files. No luck

Illustrator 5 keeps freezing on me - "not responding"

I have Master Suite 5 installed on a Windows 7 64bit Dell.
Starting several months ago, Illustrator has begun to temporarily freeze when I have an ai file open that has been inactive for a while. For example: If I start working on a file in Illustrator, then switch to something else for 20 minutes, then go back to edit the ai file, the program is unresponsive and eventually says, "Illustrator is not responding". If I wait 30-45 seconds, the app unfreezes and I am able to work again on the file. This is not a problem in any of the other Adobe programs and only started in Illustrator several months ago. Before I go and reinstall the software, I was hoping somebody might have a suggestion.
Thanks,
Paul

Is 8GB of RAM a lot of RAM in your opinion? You have to keep into account that you are running a 64 bit system and in doing so your applications, that are 64 bit can access a lot of RAM. So if you are runnig other applications which are 64 bit whike running Illustrator that might cause a problem. I myself have 17 GB and plan to make that 24 GB of RAM beacuse thought I can work quite fast on my MacPro it would work better with 24GB.
If you are running the Master Collection and use all the applications you might want to think about 32GBs, I know of some one who has 64GB and they say things fly on a 64 bit system when you have that amount of RAM.
Don't get angry with me fr telling you this bt it is the way of the future.

Why does the latest version of firefox crash on my windows 7 64 bit system? in English

I've used Firefox forever, swear by it. The past few times I've installed the latest version, my computer comes to a SLOW crawl and CRASHES repeatably. I uninstall and re-install 3.6.24 and every thing works fine. I constantly get reminders that I'm using the older version and to update. I refuse to because it turns my system into a glorified paper weight. Any idea why this might happen?

Sorry I didn't get a crash report. My computer would just come to a complete stand still. No reports, nothing. I've installed it at lease three times now, and each time it does the same thing. I have to do a hard reboot, uninstall and re-install the 3.6.24 version and it works fine. I posted the question to see if anyone else has experience the same problems. I could try it again to see if I get a crash report. I would have to do this over the weekend as I use this computer for my business.
I appreciate your response and sorry I didn't have a report for you. I'll keep you informed as to what takes place when I try to re-install.
Thanks again

Why does my latest version of Firefox under Windows 8.1 always report problems with security certifactes - even on mozilla,com - when my latets version on Ubunt

On my desktop, I have been using Firefox V27 on Ubuntu 12.04 for some time. It uses secure sites - such as https://mozilla.org - and accepts the Security Certificates quite happily, so I am not even aware there is any issue.
My new laptop is Windows 8,1, and I have installed Firefox- the latest version.
Whenever Firefox visits a secure site, it ALWAYS says that there is a problem with the security certificate - even at mozilla.org - and warns me away. I have to complete a security exemption.
Why is this, and how can I fix it?
Thanks in anticipation.

unfortunately the fiddler2 issuer in certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.
 reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982532#answer-520145
afterwards, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Why does the updated version of iTunes crash when trying to watch TV shows I bought?

Hi,
just yesterday, I got a notice informing me that there was a new version of iTunes ready to be downloaded. I went ahead and downloaded it and everything seemed to work fine until I tried watching a TV show I already had on there. Every time I would try to start an episode of one of the TV shows, iTunes would crash and shut down. I've never had an issue before, why now after this update? Can someone give me a reason as to why this might be happening and if I can possibly fix it?
Thanks,
Victoria

I just found out from another post on how you can fix the issue. Open QuickTime Player on your computer and go to Edit >> Preferences >> QuickTime Preferences. Once your in QuickTime Preferences, click on the "Advanced" tab then uncheck the box that says "Enable Direct3D video acceleration". I tried this and it seemed to solve my problem. Hope it works for you!

Why does my upgraded version of FF keep reverting back to an older version?

For the past month, I have repeatedly installed FF ver. 3.6.19. It takes and everything is fine when the window is initially open. As soon as I close out of FF and open it back up again, it reverts back to 3.6.15. This happens when I close out the window or I restart my computer. I have uninstalled FF about 4 times now and just installed 3.6.19 but it keeps reverting to 3.6.15. However, in the Control Panel, under Uninstall Programs, it is listed as 3.6.19.
I also frequently get a pop box that tells me to upgrade to 3.6.18. I click ok but it just keeps "scanning" and no update ever takes place.
This problem actually started when I upgraded to FF ver. 5. I had version 5 on my computer for a few days and then it somehow downgraded itself to 3.6.15. I have not be able to successfully upgrade FF since then.

I don't know what "popup" you're referring to. Do you mean the Control Center? If so, you can turn off that feature appearing in your apps in Settings - Control Center. I also don't know what you mean by "where did the dictionary go". Can you explain your problem more completely?
As to downgrading, that is not supported. If you are unhappy with features in iOS 7, you can comment to Apple via their feedback pages:
