Firefox keeps "Does not respond" when I try to load anything

When I close and open Firefox again when I go on a website and for example I'll click on a picture, it doesn't crash but it does not and after about 30 seconds it works, often happens now and I reset my firefox but still it keeps it and it's quite annoying. After awhile, it seems to install and it works, but I rather would not happen because this has never happened before.

NOTE that selects the solution does not work for everyone, maybe it's not a problem of fx 16
Comment by a moderator of forum-J99

It seems to be something unique to 16.0.1.

 I tried all the usual things, rebooting, uninstalling and downloading 16.0.1 and even resetting Firefox to its defaults, but all to no avail.  It just kept freezing and saying 'Not Responding' for about 30 seconds, happening so often as to make the browser effectively unusable.

Finally, I uninstalled 16.0.1 and replaced it with beta 17.0

That did the trick, and now it works quite well.

Seems that there is a bug in 16.0.1 that Mozilla needs to fix. The update of 16.0. 16.0.1 hurry too soon?

    Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

    The active x bar descends into the small window and freezes all windows open right there and will not respond. This happens when I open a new message and try to attach photos.

    Things I tried but has not made a difference:

    reinstalled IE 8, deleted the history of the browser, disk Cleanup, removed msn photo upload control, optimized IE8

    With xp media center

    PS. This occurs also at any time the information down to install an active x on any site control

    The only way to surf now with frustration is to use IE 8 NOT add optional

    So I fixed that on my own and that's how I did it.

    You must uninstall IE 8 completely which will bring you to IE 7 (in my case) and then install IE 8 via the site updates or microsoft.

    Uninstallin IE 8 by going to:

    Start--->

    Control Panel--->

    Add Remove programs--->

    Scroll down to IE 8--->

    Click on delete.

    IE8 updates must be removed also, if not then click the box 'To see the updates' on the top of the window to scroll down, look for the IE 8 security updates and delete.

    Resart your computer and install IE 8.

    This worked for me and may or may not work for you.

  • Firefox does not respond when you try to delete the history.

    When I go to "clear recent history" and click on "Clear now" he says immediately that the program is not responding. Done the same after the restart. It is not let me clear my history, and I've tried 6 times, all with the same results... I have to close the program from the Task Manager. Is there a solution?

    It is normal to take a long time to clear the history, particularly if you include clear memory Cache. Your hard disk activity probably going to be continuous. I would give it at least 2-3 minutes before you assume that Firefox has stopped working.

  • slui.exe 4 - does not respond when you try to phone activation

    Hello

    I had to reinstall win7 ultimate retail 64 bit (geographical limited version) on my computer and had previously phone activated without any problems.
    However when this time this tour when it prompted me to activate, running slui.exe does not (no dialog box etc..)
    I ran a search on the other topics on slui.exe and found no useful answers.
    Appreciate that someone can advise on how to fix. Thank you.
    * edit *-I ran a search on "Activate windows", which is under the control panel > system, however by clicking New produces no result. Also when in the form of the system, there is no current activation information. I hope the info helps diagnose the problem

    This activation problem may occur if the Service for the Protection of software (SPPSVC) is stopped or damaged. Normally this isn't a problem, since you can just restart the Service. Sometimes, an error is received when you try to restart the Service. This indicates a more serious cause of 'root' for the service having damaged.

    Restart the Software License Manager Service:
    =====================================
    (If you have access to the Start button):

    1) click the Start button
    (2) type: cmd in the search field
    (3) at the top of the start window, you will see cmd.exe
    (4) right click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator
    (5) type: net start sppsvc

    (If you do not have access to the Start button):

    1) click on the option that launches an Internet browser
    (2) a browser opens, type: %windir%\system32 in the address field
    (3) find the cmd.exe file
    (4) make a right click on the cmd.exe and select run as administrator
    (5) type: net start sppsvc

    Let me know if that helps, otherwise we have a lot more that can be tried.

  • Someone at - he found the keyboard does not respond when you try to navigate the menus on calls?

    I tried to enter a password and navigate the menus to join a telephone conference today and found the keyboard is unresponsive and have the screen go black while trying to press the keys. Can we say boring! Anyone else experienced this?

    Is it possible that you put your hand over the proximity sensor (top-right on the left part of the phone) during the call, causing it to go black? Try to put the speaker call after it connects like that allows you to disable the proximity sensor.

  • When the Admin sign on the office comes to the top, but after that the computer does not respond when the user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.

    Original title: user profile

    My administrator user profile does not work properly, but I have a user profile that has activated the parental control that worked well for about a year and yesterday when this user logs on the desktop comes up, but after that the computer does not respond when that user tries to do anything. There are actually turns off the computer with the power button.  I ran a virus scan and spyware scan in my user admin profile and he has not found anything.  I don't know what to check.

    Hello rhunter15,

    There may be a program to interfere with Parental controls so that we can try a few things to see if we can determine the application or program that is causing problems.

    First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

    • Click Start
    • Click on all programs
    • Click Accessories, and then right-click on the command prompt.
    • Select the Security tab and choose "Run as Administrator"
    • Click on command prompt
    • Type SFC/scannow.

    It will scan and repair any damaged operating system files.

    To determine if there is a program because of a conflict, we recommend that you perform a "clean boot" of the computer. A clean boot is designed to disable programs and services in the background as much as possible. This helps determine which service or program can be the cause of the problem.  For more information about how to perform a clean boot for troubleshooting, click the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

    KB 929135 - how to solve a problem of performaing a clean boot in Windows Vista.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once you have finished the clean boot, check again and see if you get the error of parental control.

    If please post again and let us know if that helped pinpoint the problem or if you still need help.

    Thank you

  • I am suddenly unable to rename folders. Insert the cursor, but it does not respond when I type characters, or even when I hit him back out. Know a simple fix?

    After cropping of a photo with Photoshop I discovered that I was unable to rename.  I soon found out that the same thing is true when I tried to rename main folders in My Documents.  I am able to insert the cursor, but it does not respond when I type characters, or even when I hit him back out.  Know a simple fix?

    Name change is a directory operation.  It would seem that you have read and write access to your directories, but you do not change access.  This highlights a problem with file permissions.  How is 'Simple' the fix depends on which version of Windows you have to a certain extent.

    Windows XP Pro (with "Simple file sharing" turned off) using the security"" tab. When you right-click on a file or a folder and select 'Properties', then click on the 'Security' tab to view and change the permissions.

    "How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307874 >

    Windows XP Home Edition is a bit more complicated.  You can start safe mode and log in as administrator for the 'Security' tab as above, or you can open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and allows you to display the 'cacls' command or change the permissions of files and folders.  You should check that your username has permission to ull 'F' for your records.  Not pretty, but it works.

  • E-mail frozen - cursor moves but does not respond when you click

    cursor moves but does not respond when you click

    Hello
     
    1. what email program are you using? Is - this Windows Mail or Outlook?
    2. is the problem with emails in Gmail or Hotmail or Yahoo on Internet Explorer?
     
    This can happen if the e-mail scanner is running on the system. The analysis of electronic mail is a built-in feature of many security software. We recommend that you disable the e-mail analysis and check the result.
     
    Please provide us with more details on the issue, so that we can better help you.

  • Back button does not work when I try to enter a web address. I tried to reboot in safe mode without success. I also tried not refreshing, no chance. Any ideas?

    I tried refreshing. I tried to start in safe mode. Still not working when I try to type a URL.

    Maybe that is, although I don't think I have seen it reported on before Mac:

    Due to the change how Firefox 39 associate keywords to bookmarks and history, the address bar is newly sensitive to corruption in the database that stores your history and bookmarks (the places.sqlite file).

    The developers are working on a solution, but that could take weeks to reach you.

    At this point, the best solution is to delete/rename the places.sqlite file, but then you lose all your history, if this really isn't very attractive to people who rely on history to revisit the sites.

    In case you want to try this - in case you do not receive the best suggestions - here's how:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information

    In the first table of the page, click on the 'show in Finder' (Windows: "Show the file") button. This should launch a new window that lists your folders and files of different parameters.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and Quit/exit, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) Firefox > Quit (Windows: File > Exit)

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename places.sqlite to something like oldplaces.sqlite. (I'm not suggesting delete this file, just in case you find yourself in need again).

    Firefox creates temporary files related to places.sqlite and those should be renamed / remove as well. Check places.sqlite - shm and places.sqlite - wal and if you find them, rename them as well.

    When you start Firefox back up again, he should start a new database places.sqlite and import your last backup automatic bookmark. Can you confirm that all your bookmarks are present? The address bar works normally again?
