• Firefox hangs for a few seconds when you try to suspend videos or skip commercials on Youtube.

  Hi all!

  My problem is that YouTube freezes for a few seconds when I try to put a video on a break or skip or run advertisements. The video freezes while the sound continues to play until, at the end of say 5 seconds, youtube is finally what I tell it to do.

  This does not occur if the video is embedded on another website, nor is it on Vimeo, Dailymotion etc. I can play YouTube videos perfectly when you use Chrome, IE and Windows 8 Youtube application that I have.

  After the first freeze all commands start works great, at least until I've opened a new video.

  I noticed that many people are having problems with youtube while using firefox and I have tried a few things:
  -uninstalling and reinstalling flash and java
  -from Firefox in safe mode
  -using the different antivirus software
  -Reinstall Firefox

  I read that this could be a problem with the whole Google being all buddy-buddy with Adobe thing, but I'm skeptical.

  So, is it possible to get YouTube working properly?

  Thank you!

  You can check for problems with the latest version of the Flash plugin and try these:

  • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
  • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
  • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

• Whenever a new window (or even Firefox windows program such as Add-ons, bookmarks, settings, etc.) is opened, Firefox hangs for 30 seconds before you open it.

  I have reset Firefox, then reinstalled, removed all extensions and plugins, uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player, Java updated, etc. I also created new profiles, which have the same problem.

  The problem does not appear in Mode safe, which is strange because I have disabled all of the built-in extensions and you run the program in normal mode, and the problem persists. At the moment I don't use any extensions, plugins and none of the themes and Firefox still freezes for a short period of time whenever I try to open a new window.

  This problem does not occur in IE or Chrome. I have not installed any programs recently; the problem started happening randomly.

  Hello

  Safe mode also disables themes (appearance) in (Alt + T) Tools > Add-ons. and hardware acceleration - the manual setting is in Tools > Options > Advanced > general > use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings/options/additional custom modules can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed to normal mode of Firefox to see if a theme, or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Deactivation/activation of hardware acceleration and some types of modules in normal mode may require a restart of Firefox - is a fast way to restart Firefox press SHIFT + F2, type reboot and Enter.

• Why Adobe Acrobat hangs for a few seconds when first creating text box?

  I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.11.

  Usually, whenever I do the first text box after awhile since I finally used Adobe, it hangs for 5 seconds. Would it be a matter of Adobe or a hardware problem?

  These symptoms result from a combination of the internal architecture of Acrobat and your hardware configuration.

  When the first load of Acrobat when you explicitly call Acrobat or when you double-click a PDF file, only the minimum part of the program which is required to view a PDF file is initially loaded into memory. This excludes the required modules to support the myriad of features that supports Acrobat, including forms, preflight, signatures, editing PDF files, etc. What if all the code needed to be charged at time of initial start Acrobat, that the starting time would be too long! However, this additional code is loaded as needed. It is the reason why you see the delay of the first time you create a text box and not for the following text boxes.

  In addition, when you close your last document, Acrobat isn't immediately shutdown. For example, if you double-click a PDF file for a short time after you think that acrobat is is no longer running, it quickly shows your PDF file and even the creation of the first text box will not only delay you previously registered.

  This brings the question of how can you minimize the delay? There are several factors at work here. The first is the amount of memory real you have on your system. If you have many programs running and not a lot of memory, you end up with a virtual memory with the page fly resultant defects requiring operations on disc for you get the memory required by Acrobat and program memory pages that are stored on the disk. Then of course, the speed of your disks makes a difference both dealing with management as well as the portions remaining Acrobat loading of virtual memory needed for editing functions you call. A disk 5400 RPM is much slower than a 7200 RPM drive, which in turn is very slow compared to a SSD (solid state disk). And if you do not have a SSD and your magnetic disk drive is fragmented, more disk performance suffers. Bottom line is that adequate main memory and a disk capacity and speed higher will help. And if your drive is not an SSD, defragment your drive on a regular basis.

  PS: Protected mode or repair your installation of Acrobat are irrelevant here!

• 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

• PC hangs for a few seconds, and then return as normal and fast as always, no reports of any problems in the operating system.

  Hello world

  I have a Vista Ultimate SP2 system and all updates, my hardware is an AMD Athlon 64 x 2 3.2 Ghz with a RAID 0 (2 discs), 4 GB of RAM, video memory shared up to 1 GB, Asus M2A-VM Motherboard.

  My problem is that sometimes when you work with any my computer shutdown application package to meet any keyboard or mouse control for 2-3 seconds and suddenly come back with tasks in the queue and fast as usual.

  I've updated my Chipset and RAID drivers.

  I uninstalled ASUS ACPI Center who could be one of the causes of this problem, rename the executable to Center asus acpi.

  I ran TuneUp Disk Doctor to verify my RAID and fix problems

  I update and updated my Antivirus ESET Smart Security in order to improve the performance of the process EKRN who sometimes take a large part of the time CPU.

  Can someone advice me how track and what tools to use to run a diagnosis of systemd and check if my problem is with the hardware or the operating system?

  Kind regards.

  JUOX.

  Run process monitor. Stop the trace when your problem occurs. Look through the timestamps of the gaps.

• My computer hangs for 15-20 seconds many times throughout the day, suggestions to fix this?

  It seems no matter what I do on the computer, it will freeze for 10-15 seconds at a time, then run again the OK for a bit, then gel to the top.  This happens continuously throughout the day.  Any suggestions on what could happen?  I ran checks on the computer, but all system controls came out OK.

  It could be a sub-process or application that runs in the background

  To find and view what could be the problem, try Process Explorer:

• 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.

  After the delay freezing of the player will be reset to 0. I can reproduce this 'crash' by moving just my mouse on the youtube progress bar and see the delay to accrue. This only happens when firefox is my main window.

  Please make sure that firefox.exe, plugin - container.exe and FlashPlayerPlugin_*.exe are not blocked or sandbox sort by your security or software in the case where it doesn't work or try to change your provider AV (I would recommend microsoft security essential, it is quite reliable and light) or downgrade to flash version 10.3.

  I installed the extension, it seems that there are several options to solve the problems with the places.sqlite file, I ran each option one at a time. I think that it may have helped a little, kind of hard to say. But the symptoms you report seems closely related to what is seen in the blog.

  As noted in the blog, uninstalled later expansion.

• Screen goes black for a few seconds while playing games

  I come here who need help, I was this problem for some time and were not able to find the solution on my own.

  The question:

  Sometimes when I play games my screen will go black at a random time for a period of time (sometimes only a term of 5 to 10 seconds, other times up to a minute) and then gets himself and I am able to continue to play. The sound continues to play during the blackout, but I have no control of my computer. Nothing does not and cannot use commands such as ctrl + alt + delete. Sometimes, when my computer is recovering from the black screen, I hear the fans on my GPU boost up to about 80%. I put in MSI afterburner to increase my fan speed as the temperature of my card. Sometimes during recovery from a black screen, my fans will increase from 25% to 80%. Then, there is 80% for the rest of the time until I reset my computer. Once my computer is reset, my card will be 25% more.

  Contextual and computer information:

  This question is not started past until I installed and new graphics card and reinstalled windows 7. The GPU has been tested before I reinstalled windows 7 and everything is perfect. no power outages. I reinstalled windows 7 because I had an SSD.

  Here are my features right now:

  PROCESSOR FX-8350
  Card MOTHER Asrock 970 Extreme3
  RAM (2) 4 GB DDR3 1600 and (2) 8 gb DDR3 1866
  SSD 120 gb w / windows 7 installed top
  GPU Radeon r9 290 (upgrade a radeon 6950 which took perfect)
  Corsair power 800w

  a few last things to add that can be useful:

  -I did not black when using my computer and do not play games screens.
  -J' usually have low games such as the League of legends. who are not too intensive on the gpu
  -When I insert in the UEFI, my RAM displays all the sticks clocked at 1600 MHz. Even if 2 of my poles are 1866.
  -My gpu never went more than 74 degrees since ive installed, so I don't think its an overheating problem.

  If you need more information, let me know and ill be happy to provide it. Any help will be MUCH appreciated. I get crazy at this time because I can't figure this thing out lol

  Thank you - Nick

  Thanks for the help! I actually just figured it on mine.

  Here's what the matter was.

  Afterburner in fact has not been increasing fan speed, I had put in place as the time grew. Tried running my r9 290 to 60% of the speed of the fan. Never had a black screen again. I'm glad that I can play games now. Only thing that sucks is my r9 290 is a powercolor card that uses a unique suction fan and blows air on the side. THE THING IS EXTREMELY NOISY at 60% lol but I managed to get the r9 290 for only $200, so I can't complain.

• Thunderbird automatically updated to version 24.6.0. Now, when you start, the program hangs for about 15 seconds before displaying emails, etc..

  Annoying that the default option is automatically update, and makes this automatic upgrade then the program 10 x worse.

  Okay, it looks like that I myself worked it. Thunderbird has been using the system proxy. When I turned off this proxy, the problem disappeared. My guess is that when the new version has been installed, it has redone the way to connect to the internet and inherited the System Proxy settings settings - even if he didn't need to use these proxy for mail settings.
