Firefox freezing

• Firefox freezes when it receives a command "-new - tab".

  Hello
  I use a c# program to send Firefox some commands. Everything works fine, but sometimes when I send a - new-tab order such as:
  "" firefox.exe - new - tab http://www.google.com".

  Firefox hangs for a few seconds before you open the new tab. I tried to delete all the parameters of the command just send 'http://www.google.com' to the system while Firefox is configured as the default browser, and the same problem again.

  I also tried to do the same thing while Firefox is in safe mode and still the problem sometimes appears.
  How can I fix this and know what makes firefox freeze for a few seconds?

  Thanks in advance

  I tried to send commands to cmd, wscrip, .net all face the same problem.
  Turn, the "HP simplepass" plugin was causing this issue.

  After uninstalling firefox, I reinstall using the version 18.0. It installs without problem. Once installation is complete, a firefox window opens and works. I can do what I want. Once I quit firefox, each new instance that I open freezes:

  - Normal mode: Freezes when i click on the + sign for a new tab or click on the address bar or just wait a couple of seconds.
  - Safe mode: I try and open it up in safe mode, a window appears asking me if i want to open it in safe mode or reset firefox.  If i click on reset firefox, the window disappears, a firefox process in open (task manager) but no window opens.
  - Reset firefox.  If I try and reset firefox, the window asking me if i want to open it in safe mode or reset firefox.

• Firefox freeze every time that tired to change the input language

  Hello. Whenever I tried to change the input language to enter in other languages Firefox freeze (program does not).

  Sometimes I type alt + shift or when I click on the language bar to select other languages.

  It also happens with several languages (I've tested, maybe all), and I have tried various software/entry mode, including default windows, all freeze. Reset Firefox under help does not work either.

  This problem occurs with Firefox and Chrome but not IE... Maybe not Firefox problem as this case w Chrome, but and ideas please? Thank you.

  J

  Edit:

  • Regedit could be changed, but do not hit internet setting.
  • I can enter foreign language as long as I set the default language and don't change another language in the language bar. Currently I use the foreign language as default capture software and switch to English of entry in this software.

  Have you attempted to assign a specific shortcut (for example, Shift + Ctrl + 1-9, 0) to select each language?

  While browsing randomly, firefox will make my computer freeze everything at irregular intervals. The only solution is a manual restart.
  I went through all the troubleshooting page, disabled all my modules and extensions, but the problem continues which appear. It is very difficult to identify what happens bad, even if, as it seems to happen so randomly. I don't get any crash report.

  Any advice would be much appreciated, I would definitely stay with firefox.

• Windows 10 updated and firefox freezed twice already

  After that I have upgraded to Windows 10 today, Firefox has seemed to work no doubt. But after some time, Firefox would freeze. I had to close firefox and restarted again. It happened twice today already.

• Why the latest version of Firefox freeze and require a Force Quit?

  I use a MacBook Air, processor 1.8 GHz, 4 GB memory, OS X v10.9 (Mavericks) and Firefox v25.0.

  9 out of 10 times when I close Firefox, it freezes and I have to do a Force Quit. Without rhyme or reason, ab 1 out of 10 times it closes as it should without a problem. This issue arose as a result of the latest update of Firefox.

  NOTE: I had been using OS X Mavericks with Firefox without any problems before the latest update of Firefox, so I don't think it's the Mavericks is the problem.

  I thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

  It is most likely a problem of Add on.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

• When you use Adobe Flash on youtube for example. The player will receive more and more delays when you use the tools of player until firefox freezes for about 10 seconds.

• 12.0 Firefox freezes / crashes except Mode without failure (new installation, even!)

  For some reason any, whenever I started Firefox (v 11.x) it would freeze on and off... gel for 3 to 5 seconds, then release for a few seconds, then freezes more and more.

  So, I uninstalled Firefox (including all profile information), downloaded new v12.0 Firefox and installed from scratch. When I started it, it does the SAME THING! Without supplements, the profile by default, etc.

  However, when I start safe mode, this is not it at all - it works fine.

  I also tried starting Firefox where you tell everyone everything reset, restart, and it still behaves wrong. It works without hesitation when in Mode without failure.

  What's up with that?

• Why Firefox freeze and a box rectangular white happen on my Mac screen after the computer enters mode "sleep"?

  Why found frozen Firefox and a rectangular box on my MacPro screen after that the computer goes into screensaver mode and I come back to type it in again? I Force-Quit Firefox and restart my tabs from scratch.

  It got so annoying that I switched to Chrome for a while, but Chrome is a hoarder of power who wouldn't let me download at Amazon cover for books printed images as I write. I want to go back to Firefox, but the only way to prevent him from dying on me is to keep completely off the screen saver and sleep-ECOMAT modes. It started happening after I installed the new OS from Yosemite, then maybe it is a conflict of some sort.

  Here is a screenshot of the appearance of the white box on the Firefox screen frozen. Well, hmm. It seems that this image be download! Well!

  Anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it?

  Hello

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  Install an older version of Firefox

• Firefox freezes constantly after about 5 min (not in safe mode)

  Basic information: using Firefox 14, worked very well until I came back from vacation, have pulled up to my PC and updated 3 things, Adobe Flash, Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit) and AMD Catalyst control center with the new 12.8 update, then rebooted.

  Slowly try to pinpoint the cause. Flash is not installed, firefox still crashes. Tried to move the Mozilla folder on the desktop, so I could simulate a reset, firefox crashed in all cases, so I put the old folder.

  Read a few pages of troubleshooting on the firefox page and went down the list by ensuring that everything has been updated and then tried to start in safe mode. So far, no accident and we'll 15 minutes here, the best I've seen so far.

  Note: Just realized my version of Java was obsolete, uninstall older versions and installed the new version. Let's see if that helps.

  Note 2: Nope, Firefox is always crashing on a regular basis. Java was not the issue. Do not think, but was hoping...

  Alternatively, you can try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if it works.
