Firefox screen freeze

I have firefox 35 on a 8.1 64-bit windows. Firefox often this strange behavior. The GUI and page will just be block/gel, but when I scroll the mouse, the cursor changes as if the page is still active and scrollable. Also, when I go to tabs, they will give the "the tab title" ToolTip. But clicking on anything on firefox will not not graphic comment. The only thing I can do is to close firefox and reopen and session which is pretty annoying when I'm in the middle of a restoration work. By dragging the tab I'm working on the new window to 'fix' the problem with freezing window, but often she ended in an accident a few minutes later.

Minimizing + maximize still resulted in an white empty window which still "hoverable" (give the balloon, change the cursor type). I tried to turn off the flash, but it also happens to the page without flash, disabling adblocks, arrives even in my localhost pages. Please help, I won't use chrome memory hungry.

Hello

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. 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:

  1. Open the Firefox Options (Preferences on Mac or Linux) as follows:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      then select Options Preferences on Mac or Linux, or Windows.

    • In 28.0 Firefox and earlier versions, click on the Firefox orange upper-left button, then select the 'Options' button or, if there is no button up Firefox, go to tools > Options.
  2. In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
  3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  4. 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:

When I get to this screen Adobe Flash Player install for all versions screen freezes. I can't change my location in the United States to the United Kingdom; just returned to the United States. Download now button is grayed out. I want a version.213 English HELP, anyone know a solution to this, please?

    There are several things you can try

    Lets first try to uninstall the current version using the adobe flash player uninstaller

    Next lets get Installer offline for NPAPI (for Firefox)

    Next lets get the Installer (for Internet Explorer) ActiveX offline

    Now that you have downloaded the files, close all browsers, wait a few seconds and you run each file in order the downloaded.

    Once they are all installed, try to start Firefox and see if that helps, if not we'll try something else.

  • mini iPad screen freezes and close Web pages

    Recently, my iPod mini has been the screen freezes while on various Internet sites, and I was also watching a Web site when the Web page is suddenly closed and I am struck to the homescreen (which displays the grid of the app).  When the screen freezes, I have to do a hard reboot because the iPod does respond to any stimuli.  Freeze the screen became much worse after the 9.3.3 iOS and iOS 9.3.4, closing only started after that, the newest Web page updated.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Try resetting Safari. Close Safari completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the preview pane of Safari until it disappears from the display. Then go to settings > Safari > clear the history and data from the Web site. Then restart the unit.

  • After the upgrade to IOS 9.3.2 my screen freezes

    After upgrading my 6 + iOS 9.3.2 my screen freezes and does not respond.  Currently running applications continue to run, but I can't interact with them.  If I go back to the phone later, the problem disappeared, but I don't know how long it took.  Then the problem comes back.  Even after a factory reset, with none of the applications running, my screen will freeze.

    When you say factory reset, did your restore as new or from a backup?

    If restore you to the new and the problem persists, I make an appointment with the genius bar and take your phone to Apple and looked at him.

  • Firefox screen blew up after update

    After updating, the design, layout and the text of firefox "blew up." It is too big.

    The only advice that I have always after the search has been trying to view > Zoom etc.,.

    Only, this changed the screen I was and is returned after a change to a new page, open a new tab or restart firefox.

    I need a permanent solution where the firefox screen is where it was before.

    Amendments of the code regarding the HiDPI support high-resolution displays have landed at Firefox 22 and later (bug #844604).

    You can change the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value of 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.

    • The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) specifically (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
    • Change the default value of-1 to 1 to make it work as in previous versions of Firefox (100%)

    Start with a value of 1 and adjust this value with 0.1 or 0.05 for finer settings.

    • Use values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the items (do NOT go all the way to 0.05!)
    • Use a value greater than 1.0 to grow and enlarge the elements (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).

    EDIT by Chris_ilias: to summarize:

    1. In the address barof Firefox, type Subject: config , then press the Enter key.
      If the "this might void your warranty!" warning appears, click on I'll be careful, I promise! to continue.
    2. Search for the preference layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
    3. Double-click the entry and change its value of-1.0 and 1.0
      (you can change this upward or downwards if necessary, for example, 1.1 to 0.9).

    Note that the changes take effect immediately. To its default value, right-click the preference and select Reset.

    If the web pages must be adjusted after changing this pref so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.

    This extension allows to adjust the font size for the user interface:

  • Opening, Firefox screen turns blue, not a failure, just the entire screen is blue.

    There isn't a "Blue Screen of Death", the site does not load and the Firefox screen becomes completely (without search left bars) tinted blue color that uses Windows 7. I'm guessing it's related to an add-on, but not sure. Here's a picture: http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x328/Deathtomyfoe/MozillaError.png

    Hello Thomas_Hunt, can you try to start firefox in safe mode by pressing the SHIFT key during startup of this and see if the problem occurs there too? Maybe a theme or hardware acceleration intrudes here...

    If safe mode does not work, you can try to disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general and or disable addons that could cause the problem. It would also be interesting what graphics hardware (description of the adapter, driver date and version of the driver) you use - you can access this information in firefox > help > correct information to the bottom of this page... Thank you

    Troubleshoot extensions, themes, and issues of hardware acceleration to resolve common problems of Firefox

    edit: another user, we discovered that this could be related to malware, you could see if you have the same addons installed, remove/disable the & run a scan of your system with security software - see https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/940393#answer-377118

  • I would like to have my bookmarks appear permantly on the left of my Firefox screen. How can I do this?

    On earlier versions of Windows and Firefox, I get my internet favorites listed on the left side of my Firefox window.
    All that seems to me to be able to do now is click the Firefox tab on the top left of the screen and select Bookmarks/unsorted bookmarks for a list, but it is not on my Firefox screen permanently

    If you hold down Ctrl and the B button, you should see the menu of bookmarks appear on your left with all of your bookmarks and folders inside.

  • iPhone 6 Plus the screen freezes after updating iOS 9.3.1

    I'm usually pretty lucky with the iOS updates, but as title the thread, just after the 9.3.1 update was on my iPhone 6, the touch screen now hangs at random times. I am a heavy user environment and this annoying screen freeze occurs at least twice a day, sometimes as much only 7 or 8 times with only hard buttons (home, power, volume) still operate. This never happened before the update, and the only issue is the soft reset option (home + power buttons). It is not only located in some applications, but it seems to be all that touch.

    This becomes a real pain in the neck, especially when you write an e-mail or a text message with no way to save what is already written by copy - paste, I need of course the touchscreen to do. Is anyone else facing the same issue after than the iOS put 9.3.1 to level, and are there possible, patches although I strongly suspect that it is a software problem that only Apple can sort with a patch update?

    Thank you.

    In my opinion I press my home button and wait for the blade to the turning off the option to display, then hold the button of your hold until turning the option off slider disappears. (This clears your cache).

  • Satellite M70 164 - screen freezes and goes black, overheating

    Hello world! :)

    Recently my Satellite m70-164 started to freeze after only a few minutes of work. The picture on the screen freezes, and a few seconds later, it becomes completely black.
    The computer doesn't even have time to warm up, and it's not stop... It's just the screen that freezes and becomes so black. I have to reset the computer by pressing the power button. (I write from another computer).

    I noticed that working time reduced whenever I have reset the computer and after some time it freezes even though I am in the BIOS settings, so I don't think it's an OS problem.
    Even if the computer does not have time to warm up, this suggests it might be a heat problem.
    So I tried pointing a fan this is low (a big, like the ones we use in the summer), and it works without problem!

    With the fan facing these, I reinstalled Windows - so no Virus.
    Laptop fan * not * continue to operate as it is overheating.
    The fan runs and it is not clogged as I've cleaned.

    So if anyone has the same problem, or ideas, please respond!
    (And sorry for my English)
    Thanks in advance! : D

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with you. In this case, even in the BIOS, that it has nothing to do with Windows or a Virus. In this case, it seems to be a hardware malfunction

    But before contacting an authorized service provider to diagnose what part is the cause, clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This should be done from time to time (every 4 months) and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  • Firefox screen has resized itself, and the tab bar rolled off the coast of the upper part of the screen.

    This may or may not have something to do with my installation and performance of PC Decrapifier & CCleaner on my desktop PC (I think it started happening before then today). Anyway, intermittently, the Firefox screen becomes too large to display all at once on my widescreen LCD, thus causing the tab bar to disappear on the top of the screen. If I move my mouse to the top edge of the screen, the tab bar appears again, but then disappears again after a while. The tab bar was now display the last few minutes, but I not did something to make it stay put. (I wonder if the Firefox screen is confused about knowledge if I use a 4 x 3 or 16 x 9 screen? Access the Internet & my email home from my work computer as well. the work computer has an old 4 x 3 (square) LCD monitor and use Windows XP (while my home computer using Windows 7).)

    Make sure that you run not Firefox mode full screen (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Ctrl + Shift + F).

    If you are in full screen view then hover over with the mouse upward to make the bar appear Navigation and tab bar.

    You can click the maximize button in the upper right to leave the mode full screen or empty space of a right-click on a toolbar and use "exit full screen" or press F11.
