  Hello, sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

  You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

  • Microsoft safety scanner
  • MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
  • Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
  • AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
  • Hitman Pro
  • ESET Online Scanner

  Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.

  More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

  In addition, delete the file User.js in your profile folder you have.

  The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you do not create the file, and then remove the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create and write to the file also).

  Thank you

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers

• Explorer Windows began to hang occasionally after installation of recent updates

  I installed the latest Windows updates two days ago. After that, I observed the strange question. Explorer Windows or any other application that bed the list of logical drives crashes from time to time for 10-15 minutes and does not respond. If I wait until he wakes up, he continues to work normally, but may crash again after some time. Sometimes, it may be in 10-20 minutes after the restart, or even in 1-2 hours after the reboot. The Task Manager shows not overloading CPU or memory for blocking.

  My OS is Vista Home Premium x 64 SP1 computer HP Pavilion DV7 laptop, Intel Core Duo 2 GHz, 4 GB RAM, HARD 2 x 250 GB drive.

  I completed the virus scan, tried to uninstall antivirus and any other software that can theoretically cause hang while reading list of reader, nothing done. Test memory not found error. Also done sfc/scannow. My hardware drivers are installed, Device Manager shows all the hardware without error in factory work. Event log contains no errors. The total number of windows updates installed the same day is about 60, I can provide the full list if necessary.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  Here is one of the reports on the problems of "problem reports and solution."

  The blocking problem is successfully solved by installing Vista SP2 RTM.

  My test program was executed about 20 hours, did not show any delay playback optical drive or anything else.

  Thank you very much for the help.

  BTW, SuperAntiSpyware will not work with SP2, Vista blocks now pilots AntiSpyware as incompatible.

  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Hello

  atiumd64.dll is part of the ATI video drivers so check with the help of ATI, their online
  documentation and drivers and ask questions in their forum about known issues. It can
  be necessary to return to an older stable version.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
  on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
  Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
  company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
  the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
  the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
  Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
  MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
  If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
  REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
  SCANNER - check manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
  and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

• How can I reduce the size of the Solution Explorer window when you save a web page by using the Page save (Ctrl + S)?

  Save the Page (Ctrl + S) used to open a small window of the Explorer (Windows 7 OS). All of a sudden (after update for FireFox 37.0.1), it opens a window of browser enlarged (full screen). The passage of the mouse on the window edge, arrows a size change appear, but do not meet the drag. How make the window smaller, or reset the Page save (Ctrl + S) so that it opens a small window again?

  You can open the system menu of the window selector to file via Alt + space to check if the window is not maximized?

• Firefox crashes when you open a windows Explorer window

  I had this problem for 2 days, every time Firefox opens a windows Explorer window it would completely freeze, so every time I have try to save an image, look for a file/folder and so on. The problem started last night, but I had not added Add ons for firefox, plugins or installed new software on my pc. I tried to leave firefox alone when he did freeze to see if it be sorted, but when I went to check on it four hours later it was still frozen.

  My current operating system is Windows Vista, with a fresh install of the latest Firefox. Before I reinstalled it, I tried to launch reseting Firefox in safe mode, and delete my history, which none worked, neither does the new installation solved my problem.

  I just did a scan of my PC virus and it seems that the problem has been corrected, if someone else has this problem, scan your pc for viruses and to get rid of them, I hope that the problem should disappear as it has done for me.

• Windows XP; Rec'd std windows explore window urging updated 21 FF w/link + buttons. not the usual style view, so has not clicked. is it legitimate?

  I run windows XP on PC. A window Explorer windows asking me to update Firefox 21 popped up. The window includes a link 'more info' and a 'remind me later' and 'install' button. Never seen this style of notification before anything so I clicked and rejected the window. Is this a legitimate firefox notification? Otherwise, what have I been invaded by, and how should I proceed?

  Hello, it is difficult to judge what was going on by the description only - in case it happens again, please try to create a screenshot of the dialog in question and attach it to an answer in the forum here...

  in any case, firefox 21 was released last week and you must indeed upgrade to the latest version. Just go to firefox > help > about firefox to find and apply the update.

• F4240 - when new closing window in Explorer, windows closed the two explorers and send error msg Ms.

  Recently, I downloaded the drivers for a F4240. Since that time, when the browser opens a new Explorer (window)? (for example an e-mail messages or links) after the closing of the new window (msg, link, etc.) then the two explorers stops and the msg "Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" is displayed and close the two explorers.

  I know that this is the cause, because I uninstalled the software (problem solved) and reinstalled... problem returns.

  Very frustrating. Help, please.

  Thank you, Randy
