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?

  • 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 not integrate with Norton 360 Identity Safe. Problem for me because I use Norton 360 Identity Safe to manage my passwords and make it more difficult to use password protected website without that add-in.

  • Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on web sites with a huge wide black border?

    Why does the new version 5 of firefox show up all the graphics on my web sites with a huge wide black border? They should be narrow and yellow!! I use iWeb for my web sites on an AppleMac iMac 22" wide screen.

    That is unfortunately a bug only in Firefox 5 and will be fixed in Firefox 6 (Aug).

  • Why does the new version not have back-up disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Why does the new version of i-tunes not have back-up to disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

  • 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......

  • Why does the new version not print properly? The left half a page prints in a 2 inch column.

    When we try to print coupons or articles only the left half of the page prints in a 2 inch column in the middle of the page. This started when I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. When we print from Internet Express, everything prints fine.

    Check your margin settings.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = ''margin'' - then look at the left and right margin settings for any that look grossly incorrect - the setting is in inches. Some users with that problem have reported settings like 2.7235879 - IOW a very long numeric string after the decimal point.
    Right-click the Value and select Reset or Modify. 0.5 or 0.25 are appropriate settings if you elect to Modify.

  • Why does the new version FireFox run slower than the old one?

    I have a fairly new computer but Firefox runs slower than the older version. Can this be remedied?

    That does not sound right. I recommend rebuilding your VI. Beore you do, open the top level VI and press contol-shift-run arrow to perform a manual binary recompile. This makes LabVIEW recompile the whole code. Most times you will not see anything happen but occasionally an error will surface. Be sure to save the VI then rebuild it.
    You may also need to reinstall the LabVIEW run time engine and/or LabVIEW. I would start with the run time engine first.

  • 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 is the new version of Firefox so ugly and not as user friendly as the previous versions?

    I've been using Firefox for years now and always loved it because of the simplicity of use and the add-ons that made my life easier. Now the major add-on that I use is no longer compatible, the new setup is visually disorienting, and apparently users have to make all kinds of adjustments to be even decently happy with their browser. Why on earth would you ever consider releasing an update that requires the users to do half the work to be satisfied with the program, or to update their OS to a system with which they're not comfortable? I switched back to 3.6 immediately, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    Plan A: Simply "Enable" the menu bar again. Click on the Ugly orange button, Choose Options and then choose "Menu Bar".
    Plan B: Install this theme
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox/
    I'm sure changing the theme was a point of major debate to the developers. In the end, I think they only alienated their existing userbase. If we want something that looks like Google Chrome, we'll use Google Chrome.
    Google Chrome is difficult to use to the average user. Now Firefox is too. Too tech inclined. Completely out of touch with the vast majority of web users.

  • Why does the new version of iTunes cause my CPU to spike?

    I've downloaded the newest version of iTunes (and even reinstalled it, to be sure).  [Version 10.7.0.21].
    When it is idle, or at least, when it is supposed to be idle, it causes my CPUs to run up quite a load.  Up to 27% from 4%.  This appears to be centered on the program AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, which accounts for about 25% of my overall processor load.
    The processors cool off and quiet down as soon as I end that task. 
    Is this a known bug in the new app, or is this just me?
    -Steve

    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 the new version 11.0.3 act so  blistering SLOW compared to prior version -

    This new version seems to take forever to load compared to prior versions and the larger th file it seem to get exponentially slower. I have an XP system with one GB memory runing reader X on a net book (atom chip) that runs way faster on the same files as XI on a 2GB laptop?
    can we back up to a old versions?

    You can certainly "downgrade" to 10, but is the "lag" when it first opens?
    Is there a "waiting" icon in the right side panel?
    My Windows 7 machine hung at launch like that the first few times I opened Reader.
    The solution was to wait till it fully opened, and then I clicked "Tools" to close the right panel. Opened a document, closed the document, and closed Readcer, From then on, when I open Reader, the right panel is closed by default and it opens right away.

  • 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.
