Firefox hangs at any page at random

• Firefox hangs at random, even with all extensions disabled and new profile, but not in safe mode

  From about 2 weeks ago, Firefox has been crashing. Accidents is seemingly random, but normally occurs when several pages/tabs are opened. In addition, all observed accidents occurred in the middle of some operations of the user. If I leave it just opened (and responsible), he would never crash even after a long period.

  Also, accidents happen even once all extensions are disabled manually. However, it seems not to happen in Mode without failure.

  After each accident, in the crash report dialog box, the 'Détails' report would not respond. However I can open reports using the command about: crashes.

  Before the accident would happen, sometimes evil-following behaviors may be observed:

  • Firefox fails to render characters CJK, their view as a rather square boxes
  • Ideogram IME(Namely Google Pinyin, an IME for Simplified Chinese) is no longer can be enabled in Firefox, on a Web page element, or on the UI of Firefox itself (i.e. the address bar or the search bar)

  The following has been tried but no luck:

  • Disable all extensions manually
  • Start a new profile
  • Reset Firefox
  • Uninstall/reinstall Firefox
  • Beta version of FX, 14 to 15, and then to 16

  Hello Rainarrow, other users who have recently updated the graphics driver for their ati hardware (for the version of catalyst ati 12.8) reported similar accidents. Please try disabling hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > General & see if that solves the problem of frequent accidents at the moment.

• I just installed firefox and it does not load any page

  I just installed firefox on my mac, and it does not load any page at all!

  Hi robertoberlin,

  Could you give me some additional information, and I'll try to help.

  • Do the pages in safari/workload?
  • What is the error you get?
  • What type of connection are you on? WiFi? At home? In a school / University?

• Firefox don't support not any page after some time.

  I'm having a problem with firefox while surfing after a while. For example, during the first 15 minutes, there is no problem, after a while firefox does not load any page, I have to close and reopen again to make it work. While firefox does not load, I can use other browsers as usual. It just don't load not any page at all, but the program itself is so I can close it with the X button. What could be the problem, I'm using firefox last.

  The default value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections has been increased from 30 up to 256 in versions of Firefox 6 +.

• Is it possible to start Firefox without having to open any page, not even a blank page?

  Just curious. Is possible to start Firefox 4.0.1 without opening any page, not even a blank page?

  No, you can hide the tab, if there is only one tab open, but it's not good to do.

  Perhaps if you explain why you don't want a blank tab, maybe we could have a nicer-sounding answer, if the answer is still no.

  What I don't like in Firefox 4, which is a blank tab ("" subject: vacuum "") presents itself as 'New tab' which is incorrect, once you do another thing the former title on the tab before 4.0 was more correct and it was in parens so he showed better as "(sans titre) ' on the close tabs and is correct, because it has no title."

• Firefox hangs; I opened firefox and it goes back to the pages that just crashed instead of my homepage

  Firefox crashes, or a page block upward, so I close the browser (sometimes have to close it by the Task Manager. When I try to re - open firefox, need me to pages that just crashed, rather than my home page.

  Windows XP SP3, P4 3.4Ghz

  Yes, it's normal. You want to disable that? There are a couple of settings related to resume your previous session after a crash:

  (A) resume automatically, but if Firefox crashes twice in a row, displays a list of windows and tabs and let me choose. (default)
  
  (B) does not resume automatically, always show the list of windows and tabs and let me choose; (I recommend this approach) or
  
  (C) never automatically resume and do not display the list.

  Switching to B or C requires a visit to Firefox about: config preferences editor.

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste sess and make a pause so that the list is filtered

  For "B":

  Double-click the browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes preference from 1 to 0 (that's a zero).

  For "C":

  Double-click on browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash preference to change its value from true to false.

• Firefox hangs frequently on Windows 8.1

  Firefox has been suspended at apparently random times since I got my laptop Windows 8.1, who owns an i7, 8 GB of RAM and Intel HD 4600 Graphics.

  Hanging itself lasts anywhere from 10 seconds to a few minutes, and it usually freezes all other programs as well. It can happen at any time, regardless of the memory usage - when I open a new tab, when I type in the search bar, when I click on a bookmark, etc.

  This does not work on my Linux Mint partition, nor on my Windows 7 computer. In view of this fact and my laptop specs, I doubt that it's a hardware problem. My best guess is that one of my plugins/extensions is at the origin, which I believe have been met in the troubleshooting information.

  Thanks in advance.

• Whenever I try to bookmark a page, he is listed as the page I hit 'signet' on but really links to a page at random my story and will not change.

  If I try to change the link manually, it resets right back to any page he chose to link to.

  Another possibility is that the database of places, which stores the history and bookmarks, is corrupt. I saw the following extension recommended as a way to correct, but I don't know how (or if it's running on Mac):

• Firefox has a home page, like IE or should I use a different browsers home page?

  I want out of the MSN homepage in IE and I was wondering if a homepage is available in Firefox? I can't seem to find anything that could answer this question, but I'm not well versed in the use of the computer.
  Probably a thing of the age.

  Firefox and IE are web browsers. You can set any page you want the home page in Firefox, or leave the field blank. The default homepage in Firefox is Subject: Home

• After the last update a few minutes ago, Firefox open all web pages.

  I was on a local web page run by a local server on my intranet. Firefox was not open. I opened it (last time it worked successfully was a few hours ago). He did an update.

• When I try to highlight text on any page why it automatically scrolls to the top? Very frustrating problem just occurred, was not there before.

  Curiously, an error just for me that was not there until tonight (I have nothing new installed on my firefox). When I try to highlight text on any page why it automatically scrolls to the top? Very frustrating problem, no matter whether on gmail on an email, facebook or a web page regular when I try to select my browser text is now scroll upward on its own literally as soon as I'm going to highlight, that means I end up selecting everything on the page when it scrolls upward. Can anyone shed some light on how I can solve this problem suddenly?

• At startup, Firefox hangs and does not respond.

  Occasionally, he will ask to open in safe mode, but most of the time that it just hangs. I think it has something to do with the profile because it works fine on the other account that is on the same computer. The only thing I did before she started to act up was have it delete my browsing history after his stop. Is there a way to save only the bookmarks, and delete the rest of the profile?

  This also works on Mac, so make sure you select the correct OS and Firefox version via the dial up.

• Cannot open as a single link at a time. any page in a new tab will appear to load but appears blank. I have to open a new browser to go to a new page. Why?

  This just started here yesterday. I have a MacBook Pro 10.7.5.
  I can always get on the first page I open in a new browser, but any page after that I try to open in a new tab will appear to load, but the page is empty.
  This isn't just case with a website I tried the myriad of different sites... only the first charges in a new browser tab. I'll have to open a new browser if I want to go to another link - very frustrating...

• 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. I have all the major browsers installed because of my job, but kept FF as a default, but I'm starting to consider a switch after all these years.

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