• Firefox hangs the start of solange and cannot send accident report

  Last night I was browsing the web and ended up having 300 + tabs open, FIrefox started to slow down a lot and no longer meets a couple of times. At the opportunity to close Firefox from the pop up window and choose to close Firefox, unfortunately when I tried to open Firefox again, he crashed and gave me the crash reporter and when I tried to present the report he has encountered a problem and may not send the report. I start Firefox in safe mode and works fine but when I try to restart its crashes with disabled modules still and unable to send the report.

  If you can start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the shift/Options button then you can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

  You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.

• Why Firefox hang when I open the printing preferences to print Web pages on my Dell 720 inkjet, after that Windows XP gives me the warning on a protection fault 0 x 0000005?

  I can copy text from websites and paste it into MS Word, where I can print fine in B & W or color. I can print from wordpad, too. And I had no problems printing in Internet Explorer. I'm just cannot open the printing preferences window when you use Firefox 7.0.1 and I don't have any add-ons like "Print Print Preview Update" (Acrobat, Silverlight, Office, and a few others). Firefox crashes when I try to open the printing preferences, but I am still able to print, only in the default settings. I use a Dell 720 inkjet connected to an IBM Thinkpad R51e with reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition 2002 SP3, processor Intel Pentium M 1.73 GHz 1.87 GB RAM (added). I installed the printer driver before connecting the printer, and I use Avira antiviral software. This laptop has had problems in the past, but I don't want to give up on this. Please ask if you need more information.

  I completely removed Firefox 7.0.1 and replaced by 5.0.1 and now I can open the printing preferences. Follow these instructions:

  Create a system first, restore point if you want.

  Then, click on start, Control Panel, programs and features. Uninstall Mozilla Firefox.

  Reach...

  If 32 bits...
  C:\Program Files

  If 64-bit...
  C:\Program Files (x 86)

  And delete the Mozilla Firefox folder.

  This should give you a fresh start. Then install the old version. Just bookmarks can be imported from Internet Explorer or registered before switching versions

• System hangs when starting

  Someone had problems with t he laptop freezing on the screen of the Toshiba logo when starting? The only way to turn it off is to pull the battery, no other button works. Cannot, press F2 or F12 or button / stop. No response from either of them. After several attempts, the computer will boot. and run ok. Thinking it might be the motherboard or hard drive, but the two discover ok with diagnostics.

  Any thoughts would be welcome.
  Thank you
  Harvey

  My PSA has always been very helpful, but to be honest I didn't noticed this problem on my laptop.

  Generally if the laptop freezes during POST (power on self-test) then an error on the motherboard could be detected
  Eventually he s RAM related question
  If the RAM is faulty or malfunctioning, then the laptop could freezes

  Try an other Rams. Maybe it helps, if not, then a motherboard must be verified

  It's the version 28.0 + build2-0ubuntu2. Reset profile has no effect.

  OK, apparently something was broken with my Software Center. 28.0 version is quite old, after all.

  So I launched the Update Manager and updated everything to 14.04.1.

  Now, Firefox is running and displays 32.0 in his 'A connection' dialog box.

• Firefox hangs when you log on googlemail on my PC, except when I'm safe mode. Have you tried uncheck hardware acceleration, but problen persists.

  This problem started when I updated AVG to 2012 trial version. I have thenchanged on the free version of 2012, but the problem persists, so I think it has something to do with AVG. An analysis revealed two trogan infections on the system, that Super Anti Spyware removed successfully. I had this problem for about three days. In safe mode, Firefox saves ontpo Gmail sucseefully.

  See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  Disable extensions 1 by 1 until you find the one at fault (start with associated AVG extensions)

• Tabs of Firefox hang when there are 3 or more

  I have 3 home pages on Firefox, and they have been loading fine for a few months. This morning when I opened Firefox, tabs started to load, but a then froze. I had to end the process, restarted my computer and tried again. I've had some success to operate: if I closed the tabs 2 as soon as I opened Firefox it does not freeze. But then I went to check my mail, and 2 minutes later, it froze. I was able to go to the Firefox support page and began to open new tabs with different solutions on them... and it froze again.

  
  

• HP 6530 b hangs when starting

  Hi all!

  I have a HP 6530 b hanging while I'm trying to start. Basically what happens is it starts to boot and then it stops. I got Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed with a Linux 12.04. I was doing my job on the computer a few days when it shut itself down, without warning. The screen will not suddenly goes black, but it was as if I had told her to stop, that I did not. As he was closing down, there the screen on the fact that she had installed updates. Anyway, it restarted itself and it could not boot into Windows. It got to the point where the Windows Logo appears, but it froze right there.  I waited for about 20 minutes to see if she would do anything, which he did not. Tried to restart that and it froze before he even got the Windows Logo. Now, it happens on the screen that indicates that Windows could not start and needs to be started in recovery mode. I tried and it failed too. I could remove the hard drive and connect it to another PC and starts very well under Linux, he said that the installation of Windows has been damaged. From what I can deduce, I think I can give up this install of Win7, but I can't understand what is causing the PC to hang during startup. any suggestions are appreciated.

  Thanks for the advice, but I already understood that the motherboard is bad. Thanks anyway!

• Win XP Pro SP3 hangs when starting.

  My copy of close to ten years of Windows XP Pro served me well... it has been updated a number of pious UN time (and that was just the first few days after I first bought!) is the current state of the SP3.  I've never had a problem with the start of the BONE, until two days ago.  He simply refused to start.  There had not been updated, there had not been any virus, (Norton 360 first version 5, SpyBot Search and Destroy, AVG Security Suite Pro) full... it worked and works well, I stopped him and when I went to restart, it is hanging in the first screen of Windows XP (black one who lights up for a few seconds and scan blue dots everywhere under the name "Windows XP").

  I was able to restart in safe mode, no problem.  I then went through all the lists of things to try that I could find on here and any other support area of Microsoft.  Clean boot didn't work, start diagnosis does not work, no matter how configure msconfig, the result was the same. hang in the first XP screen.  I found an article that said to use the Windows installation disc and do a "set up"... essentially replace the operating system without affecting any of the other programs or data on the disk.  I did this, and of course, it still hangs on the first XP screen.  The kicker is NOW, I can start is no longer in safe mode, because it comes in saying that it is a 'NEW' XP installation and as such must be activated before first use... and because activation cannot be done in safe mode, please restart the computer in normal mode and proceed with the activation...

  IF I COULD START THE COMPUTER IN NORMAL MODE, I WOULD HAVE NOT HAD TO REINSTALL THE OPERATING SYSTEM AND SHOULD NOT ACTIVATE OR HERE BEGGING FOR HELP!

  Hi RonaldHaywood,

  It looks like the Windows XP installation is damaged and that the only option is to reinstall Windows XP on the computer after saving the data.

  You will need to take the computer to a store local tech to save data and then perform the clean installation.

• Pavilion TX2623: Laptop hangs when starting Windows

  Hello

  When I start the laptop, I see the HP logo, the blue window of Microsoft and the white dots turning in a circle and then everything freezes after 5 seconds or more. If I force the power off I can restart without problem. At the start, I can hear the fan, player and I see that the player accesses (blue led).

  I tested the memory and the disk with tools (diagnostic) which you can access from the start. The results were very good.

  I did a hard reset, search the forum for similar problems.

  What bothers me is the fact that force a shutdown will lead to a normal start. For several days, the model has been the same. Computer hangs at the first attempt, I force shutdown and then everything works fine.

  Any idea?

  Concerning

  I managed to find a solution.

  It seems that the fast start feature is at the origin of the problem. I turned he took and no more freezing, at least so far (several departures and stops without problem).

• Firefox crash when starting open only in safe mode?

  I have windows 7 64 bit, I try to install firefox and he the accident after installation
  I can't open it any help
  plant Id and details on this link,
  https://crash-stats.Mozilla.com/report/index/5ebfdd5f-9B5F-4906-8959-07ccf2130910

  thank you
  

  The good news is that if it opens in safe mode, there should be a fix or a workaround. Your accident is linked to the use of graphics acceleration so turn off that should prevent accidents. Maybe update your graphics drivers will actually solve the problem.

  To disable hardware Acceleratoin
  As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

  You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

  Then perform the following steps:

  • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
  • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

  In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • Troubleshoot extensions, themes, and issues of hardware acceleration to resolve common problems of Firefox
  • Update your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

  This solve your problems? Please report to us!

  Thank you.

  I find what the problem is. If you enable sync extension in setting-> sync (which I activated recently in my PC and laptop, I believe that this is a new feature), then it would break. That's why my lab PC and laptop are broken everyday. I'm in China, so there may be some sort of internet block causing this bug. But the synchronization of other are fine.

• Setellite A665-5170 - hangs when starting certain applications

  Hi, just got this phone 5 days ago, nine from Best Buy and cannot get it to work...

  Details of HW & SW:
  It has a built-in Intel HD GPU.
  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  When you try to run certain applications, the impression that the HARD drive is constantly used, and the symptoms are that this request, nor other can operate.

  Example:

  Installed Skype 5.2, launched the program. He began
  For more than 5 minutes, I tried to start "Task Manager" to monitor the activity.
  "Task manager" window comes after 3 minutes and doesn't show anything in the 'processes' tab (Skype is still loading) trying to move the window will become grayed out and "Non-response" appears for a few seconds.

  When "Task Manager" finally shows info, I see that the CPU is almost not used (once again, the HARD Drive LED is constantly lit).
  Forcing of Skype to the 'end' can take another 10 minutes, after which the laptop becomes usable, once more.
  Uninstallation has taken more than an hour and only succeeded after a few reboots.

  I tried older versions - same result.

  Same effect is noticed in other scenarios (i.e. navigate on the internet while playing music with Windows Media Player).
  Although I doubt it, this can be related to Windows 7 64 bit does not completely supporting 32-bit applications.

  P.S. I do not live in the USA so I can't just go back to BestBuy and get their support.
  I feel lost and don't know what to do... Pleas help.

  Hello

  Because the laptop is new, I recommend that you set the notebook back to factory settings.

  Check the available applications. It must be called Creative Software recovery disk Toshiba.
  Create a recovery disk and after creating recovery disk, retrieve the device.
  This will set the laptop to the State as on the first day of purchase.

  Hope this helps you solve this problem

  Good luck
