Firefox has recently started locking everytime I try to open some Web sites, and it starts to monopolize the resources of the computer up to use 50 to 60% of my CPU where he usually uses 5-15%.

I had problems in the past three weeks or so, where Firefox will lock when you access websites like NP.eBay.pl or Facebook, and sometimes even Google search. When you try to load these sites, sometimes the program crashes and starts using 50 to 60% of my CPU and sometimes a constantly growing amount of RAM. The only way I can fix it is to go into the Task Manager and kill the program, and then restart Firefox. Is not always a solution, either, as sometimes exactly the same problem arises immediately when I reload Firefox and I have to kill him again through TM. I usually four to six tabs open, and have never had any problems with Firefox like this before the approximate date of September 17. Could this problem have taken birth in the latest updates?

Try this:

For me, the solution was the Network.http.Max - connections setting. Lowering this setting is default 256 to 32 of correction of the problem. If you have not tried to change this maybe give it a go by typing about: config in your address bar, and then click the Network.http.Max - connections setting and by replacing the value 32.

  • Web sites and email won't recognize the 25 Firefox version. Sites to say I have an old version and ask for that update.

    I have update my Fire Fox version 25 several months ago. I then started to receive messages from Web sites and my yahoo email account I was using an outdated version. Then, I updated to beta 26 and I still have the same problem. I am using Windows 7 on my PC. Never had any problems with Fire Fox until the 25 upgrade. I deleted the cache and cookies without effect. Should I uninstall Fire Fox and start all over again.

  • I get error messages when I try to visit some Web sites you use Mozilla Firefox, but not when I use other browsers

    About two days ago, I noticed that when I tried to access some websites using Firefox, I always got this error message. "The connection was reset". Initially, I thought it was a problem with my ISP before noticing that the network was fine on my phone and the iPad. I tried and then open the same links which brought up the error message on the TorBrowser and it worked perfectly.

    Basically, the only site that works right now on my Firefox browser is Google but if I do a Google search and then click on any link that appears so I get the same error message, "the connection was reset". I can also connect to my gmail account, but I can't access any other Web site including Feedly, Tumblr, Twitter, Yahoo, Wordpress, Blogspot, even though they work fine on my other browser.

    I have cleared my cache and cookies, wiped out all browsing history, but the problem persists then I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox and reinstalled. The problem is still there. I checked the proxy settings, I went through all the solutions on this page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-cant-load-websites-other-browsers-can?esab=a & as = aaq and still nothing. I'm not sure what the problem is here, but any solution will be appreciated. I have used Firefox for years and I'm really not comfortable using a different browser.

    I use a Macbook OS X Version 10.9.4 and the last Firefox 32.0.1

Please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

  • Problems with the WEB BROWSER blackBerry Smartphones, use not wifi network to open some Web sites

    Hello I'm owner of BB BOLD 9900 OS 7.1... for the last two days I am facing a pretty annoying problem with the BB browser.

    It means not affects the device... it just annoys me.

    When I TURN ON my WiFi on my BB with the network carrier Sim already homepage active who has a Active on it and open the web browser BB, according to the website on which I open the web browser chooses between the internet Wi - fi OR internet BIS carrier which is weird. BECAUSE a default if the wifi is enabled, then the web browser MUST use internet wifi network carrier for navigation. YOU TUBE, FB and TWITTER.com all use my carrier netwrok to open bt soon I open BBC.com or CNN or any other site the wifi symbol appears on the right side and so it uses the wifi network... and disappears when I opened THE 3 SITES you tube FB n twitter.

    My knowledge is that when you activate THE wifi network, the WEB browser is intended to USE the wireless internet, NOT the internet carrier

    The next time I switchd off the the carrier signal, and then Turned ON one internet WI - FI and then opened the web browser of BB. so now all the opend website with wifi internet bt as soon as I open YOU TUBE or FB or TWITTER.com it post a comment... .that cannot visit the web page when the carrier is off. Please turn on the radio n try again... I mean IT SHOULD OPEN with internet wifi? WHY do network carrier sim to open the web page?

    I have checkd my browser settings and they are default and also my wifi settings I have reset the... the problem still persists?

    any idea wats going on?

    Please help is needed I'm annoyed about this problem...

    Thank you

    MR. KIWI... Good news... .i went to my carrier service center... Solvedo Problemo!

    Go to your service books and remove directories of service WAP browser in all directories of service WAP 3 I don't know the exact name, but all are related to the browser... WAP config something like dat... Just remove dem... .and HARD restart your fone... and try to use only wifi on your device with your carrier network off...

    mine worked... Let me know on urs... so now, the browser uses my wifi instead of my network provider when both are running...
