16 Firefox hangs for a minute to access some Web pages, I think that they all use Flash
I installed Firefox 16.0.1 yesterday. I was running 15 earlier in the day and it was fine. However, 16 FF started suddenly hanging for about a minute when I try to access some Web sites. It thaws fine after this minute, no crashes or anything like that, but it is very irritating. From what I can tell, it seems to do this on pages that use Flash. I have the latest version installed, and it made no difference. I tried downgrading to 15 FF and it's always the same. Anyone know what is happening?
Thank you

Firefox hangs for a while when the download window appears
Whenever I have start a file download (regardless of its size), Firefox hangs for a few seconds, sometimes more. I deleted the downloads.sqlite file and it helped for a few days but it started happening again. I deleted new downloads.sqlite but this time it would not help. I even installed the add-on DownThemAll as suggested some people, but it happens with it also.
I use Firefox for 7-8 years now and never had any problems that cannot be solved, but this more a few more freezes or crashes from time to time starts to be annoying.

Can someone suggest a soluton? And I do not consider disabling the pop-up downloads a solution.

System hangs for a minute when sending emails in Windows Mail.
Original title: Windows Mail problem.
Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
Ideas:
- When I try and create e-mail or reply to a message, the system hangs for a minute before moving forward
- Error messages - if you try and press the button create again, he says not responding do not
- Recent changes made to your computer - no recent changes
- What you have already tried to fix the problem - nothing
Ensure that Avast is not set to analyze them. That happens for every email or only the first message that you create? Responses take longer? You have a large list of contacts or a large number of fonts installed? Both of these can slow down WinMail.In addition, after the removal of Norton, you must set the mail settings for the account, so its best to remove the e-mail account, close and reopen WinMail, and then add it again.Stevewrote in message News: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *... I got rid of Norton and actually put on Avast anti virus lately. As I said when I hit Create Mail I get a message saying "windows mail does not" and then after about 45 seconds it comes up and I can send emails. I used this Windows Mail utility (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) to compact and repair the database and it has not changed much.

I can access the site with other web browsers below, however, Firefox won't let me access it or I can add an exception so that it is access. If I can't access the web site, I have no reason to use Firefox at all. Can someone please?
If you can not add an exception, but get a pop-up with the error message, you can go the pref browser.xul.error_pages.enabled on the topic: config page and make sure that the value is set to true (the default).
You can retrieve the certificate and the control that has issued the certificate.

Let Firefox recover the certificate: "Add Exception"-> "get certificate".
- Click on the "view..." button. "to inspect the certificate and the Coachman, who is the sender.
Only leave the brand in the box at the bottom to "permanently store this exception' If you trust this certificate.

How to receive e-mails from my web page? Can I implement this using Firefox or I need something like Internet Explorer?
Firefox is a browser. Internet Explorer is a browser, even Opera, Google Chrome or any other browser. They don't normally have an e-mail client.
So what you need to do is to open an account with a Web freebie like hotmail.com or gmail.com email provider and then use Firefox to open it with. The emails that you receive or send remain on the e-mail server of the provider. You must use a browser to access only with.
It is not all browsers that can act as a storage system for e-mails. In this respect the browsers like Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer etc., is only spectators.

Can't access some Web sites. Internet is to slow down, it won't work
Original title: can't access some Web sites.
I have a problem with one of the computers on my network.
Some Web sites will not load on one of the computers (although on all others). The behavior is either it load so slow that it does not (speedtest.net) or it expires entirely (skype.com). This problem persisted for several months (it is one of the computers of my colleague and I administer the network and machines in our office).
I checked things:
1. this problem occurs in IE, Chrome and FireFox
2. it does not occur if I use a web proxy such as hide.me
3. it is persistent even in SafeMode with network.
4. ipconfig/all parameters are the same between this machine and the other without a problem.
5. the problem with Windows Firewall disabled.
6 ipconfig/flushdns does not solve the problem.
7. no viruses or malware were found.
8. on those ping timeout works very well (skype.com with ~ 140ms)
I'm really running out of things I can think beyond trying to reinstall Windows, but I prefer not to do so. Are there possible ideas?
Hi Nerratt,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft community.
This problem can occur because of corrupted system files or settings or due to conflicts between the third-party applications.

On some web pages, for example http://www.zen169231.zen.co.uk/jimsplace/beginwinders.htm (and others), by clicking on another topic, the page appears without a scroll bar and does not scroll with the mouse wheel either. This only happens in Firefox and Safari, I do not normally use as I prefer Firefox. Thank you very much.
This problem seems to occur in popup windows, or can it happen in any window? The reason why I mention pop-up windows is that there is a bug in Firefox 38 with the following combination of circumstances:
(1) viewing a page in a private browsing window
(2) tabbed browsing is powered down
(3) you click on a link that launches the link in a new window (because the site code the link with target = "_blank")The new window opens without menus, toolbar, scroll bars, etc.
Work on this bug is in progress, but I don't know if the fix will be available in the coming weeks. These are the known workarounds so you can continue using windows browsing private - one of them will work around the bug:
(1) use tabbed browsing (there is a checkbox in the preferences > General > "Open new windows in a new tab instead");
(2) shift + click the links to open in a new window with standard features. or
(3) change a bunch of hidden settings as explained below - it will not you make changes to the way you use Firefox, but sometimes you need to enlarge some small pop-up windows that have been sized for a window with no toolbar displayed.
# 3, here are the steps:
(A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.
(B) in the search above the list box, type or paste feat and make a pause so that the list is filtered
(C) for each preference that begins with dom.disable_window_open_feature. , if it is not 'true', double-click it to true.
You may find that you prefer this anyway, given that sites can band is more these pop-up windows features.

Original title: access to the problem Web pages
I recently got roadrunner as my Internet service provider. I'm unable to access any Web site other than the home pages of MSN & Yahoo. When I try to access any other nested web site (i.e. Favorites) I get a can't connect message. According to roadrunner, it's a problem of mircosoft software as their cheque for their system shows no problem. Someone can help or should I get another ISP.
Oh yes, I also have a hotspot to verizon as a secondary ability that I can use without any problems.
