Firefox is stirred up and down even with all extensions disabled

• 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.

• on win xp can anyone tell me why the plugin container.exe is such a big eater of resources even with all plugins disabled

  When I run firefox and its connected to the net I find firefox slows down my browseing experience, I studied this by looking at the XP Task Manager and with firefox running that I use between 44 and 56% of cpu resources, the culprit is plugin container.exe but why is - it because all my plugins are disabled why plugin container active at all if the plugins are used... never had this problem with older versions of firefox... any ideas?

  Follow the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

  • Firefox uses too many resources CPU - how to fix
  • Firefox using too much memory (RAM) - how to fix

  Check and tell if its working.

• Typing becomes very slow in Firefox 3.6.11 in Mode safe mode with all extensions and plugins disabled.

  When I first start Firefox, all right. And everything is fine as long as I type in the text boxes on any web page. I can type in the address bar or search throughout the day with no problems.

  But, for example, just by typing in the edit box to ask this question on this site will result in the problem after I typed more say 150 characters. After this strike ANYWHERE in Firefox will be very slow, even the address bar or the search bar. It doesn't seem to matter what site use to type in the text. Cause the problem to occur after typing in enough strikes.

  Navigation & mouse clicking remains fast - it is only typing seems to be affected. In order to recover, I have to restart Firefox.

  If I look at the use of the UC Firefox.exe in Process Explorer, I see that once the problem occurs, the CPU usage starts whenever I type a key fortification. Indeed Firefox maxes one of my two hearts so the cpu is at 50%! He goes down to 0% again once I stop typing.

  As mentioned in the subject, it is in Mode safe mode with all extensions & plugins disabled. I'm running on Windows XP SP3 with an old AMD Athlon 64 X 2 Dual Core Processor 3800 + (1.81 Ghz) with 2.00 GB of RAM.

  I think it started to happen with Firefox 3.6 significantly (it's amazing how much time I can navigate without having to type), but it sometimes occurred with previous versions. Now he is annoyingly repeatable.

  I have to use '-no - Pei ForTyping distance "to start a separate session of Firefox that I use just to type in the text boxes, so I can restart at will. I also compose messages in an external editor and simply paste in Firefox to avoid typing as much as possible.

  This may be a problem with session restore. Firefox stores session data every 10 seconds to make it possible to restore a session crashed.

  It may be a problem with the sessionstore.js file in the profile folder

  Delete the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and all files files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js.

• I tried to update firefox secuity this morning and got stuck with Voseran off site in Mozilla

  I went directly to Mozilla for updating security settings of Firefox and ended up finding the Vosteran browser. I'm pretty tech savvy and monitored very closely all the things he did and never saw coming until I rebooted and there it was. I took all measures to remove them, even deleted Firefox for now. But you might want to look into this.

  It's very frustrating, I use the paid version of the ultimate AVG virus of the Ant and it's still out there.

  Yes, something is happening - you have probably malware on your pc (via a different infection vector as a download from mozilla.org), that is why I recommended you analyzing your pc with various security tools!

  Using FF 3.6.8. Updated for FF2 a few months when I found extension 'Old manage bookmarks' which allows me to see all the bookmarks and folders to different levels of tree in a single window.

• Firefox can't find the server even with perfect internet connection

  OK, so I had been using Firefox for months on Windows 7, and from nowhere, he stops and says Server not found, Firefox can't find the server. This product whenever I try to use Firefox.
  I use IE but not FF. I need FF for my United program that works more effectively in this regard.
  I've had no problems before. I checked my firewall, connection settings, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, did a restore of the system... you name it, I probably did.
  It's really frustrating and I can't find any solution!
  HELPPPPP!

  One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
