Firefox will not be upgraded or takes a very long time. What is going on?

• After the upgrade to Firefox 7, sites regularly take a very long time to load.

  Since the upgrade to Firefox 7, I knew an intermittent problem where, in the attempt to load of a site, the status bar says "Connecting"... "and sits there without charging anything for several minutes. This happens usually after several minutes of normal use. Meanwhile, Firefox cannot connect to any site. He is also unable to check the updates. There is no error message; simply, it displays the icon of the "little wheel" and does not provide any additional comments.

  Close the tab where the problem occurred at the outset helps not, but completely close and restart Firefox made. However, the problem usually after several minutes of normal use after a reboot.

  No other application is affected. Internet Explorer, MSN Live Messenger, Thunderbird, and other applications of the network continue to operate normally while Firefox cannot load websites.

  I don't think that it is a firewall issue. The problem occurs even when all the firewall software - including the built-in Windows - Firewall has been disabled.

  In addition, if I let Firefox "spin" for several minutes, the problem suddenly clears up on its own, and the site I asked initially load normally. As with a reboot, when the problem is cleared up in this mode, generally occurs after a few minutes of normal use.

  Hello

  We seem to be a lot of variation in the duration of a security WIPE will take. But the reasons are not completely clear enough... and so only you can decide when it has been too long.

  Once you decide, that it has been too long, your choice is:

  1. Remove the battery, wait 5 minutes and reinsert the battery
     • In some cases, the unit will simply continue with the WIPE. In other cases, it may do something else. YMMV.
  2. Use and automatic charger to force an OS own reloading on the device (which will include a device WIPE as part of what he does).
     • The autoloader should be able to force his way beyond the WIPE running and allow a reload of the OS to occur.

  Let us know if you need further instructions.

  Good luck!

• Guest operating systems take a VERY long time to start and stop to the bottom/connection

  I have a virtual VSphere version 4.1.0 of the client machine, I have a few top server, when I try to start or to stop them, they can take at least half an hour to do this.

  I really want to get this resolved, because it's way too long for an operating system to start.

  The server I want to talk to is a Windows 2008 64 Bit operating system.

  All the tips are greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Then replace the HARD drive.

  My guess is that it's completely unrelated to performance or whatever it is. It's probably a script to shutdown/startup/login or performed during these, making it a matter of the GuestOS. Maybe something trivial like nameserver names insoluble / defective (responses), waiting times of the ICF block or something similar.

  If the system running normal operations are fine, there is no ESX(I) - reason why he should be 'slow' for those own time only. Check the disk latency/throughput/Ops ARE / s when he knows.

• With 32-bit and a clean install also takes a long time to start and a very long time to stop.

  I use 32-bit and a clean install also, it takes a very long time to start (and sometimes it will not) and a verlong tike to close

  Hello Duane,

  For more clarity and response, I divided it in its own thread.

  After your post, it seems that Vista 32 bit takes a long time to start and a very long time to stop.

  What are the specifications of material of this machine?

  We might want to try a clean boot and see how that affects the issue.

• I deleted internet explore and now my computer and firefox will not work/really slow. How to fix?

  I thought I had a virus on my Internet explore and the tech in the street guy told me to download firefox and remove internet Explorer. When I did it, firefox will not load but shows up in my task manager everytime I try to open it. My computer is very slow now and firefox does not open...

  Sometimes my computer is running slow also. If Firefox will do it, see if you can download internet explorer from there, but as you said that it was slow, it might take some time.

• Firefox will not hold, but shows in the Task Manager, after updating graphics drivers from AMD 13.1.

  Hello

  After update for drivers AMD 13.1 on my 5770, Firefox will not launch; It doesn't, however, appears in the Task Manager. I want to emphasize that it will boot into Windows safe mode; When I opened it in safe mode, I used this time to deactivate all plugins, modules, extensions and created a new profile. This did not help. I also tried launching Firefox in its safe mode and had no luck with that either.

  I encountered this problem once before, when trying to upgrade to an earlier version. I think I was moving from 12.1 to 12.4, but I'm not 100% sure of that. In the end, my solution was then to retrograde back to my previous driver. The steps mentioned in the previous paragraph has not helped at that time, not do a complete reinstall.

  experience of 15 years, and that computer repair baffled me.

  Thanks to all those who might be able to help.

  Eventually the relevant specifications.
  Windows 7 Ultimate x 64
  AMD Phenom II x 4
  Ram 6BG
  Chart AMD 5770, running catalyst 13.1

• Firefox will not allow a site to work correctly, but IE only

  I use www.teambeachbody.com for my training and my business. Firefox will not have menus to appear, and I can't click on the buttons for navigation; However, Internet Explorer * will *. I HATE the Explorer because it runs very slowly, but I don't have a choice at this point. No idea why this is happening or how to fix it?

  Start with some basic troubleshooting.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• Windows Firefox will not close.

  Hello
  I am running windows 8.1 and Firefox 38.0.1. whenever I click on the Red 'x' to close Firefox, Firefox will not close. If I want to close all tabs, Firefox does not close the last tab. If I try to merge windows (by dragging the tab of a window in a different window) Firefox will create a blank tab on the window where I dragged the dragged tab. So far, the only way to close the Fire Fox is click on the close button or to stop by the Task Manager. When I re - open Firefox Windows and previous tabs are also there, and I'm still not able to close them. I restarted my PC and reinstalled Firefox (uninstalled and re-download). However, after downloading Firefox... the same windows will be opened, with the same tabs! It's horrible!

• Firefox will not start after update

  Firefox will not start today. I think he had an update yesterday.
  Click it, lift the loading symbol, but never implemented. In Task Manager it is a firefox.exe * 32 running. Have you tried to uninstall, delete Mozilla Firefox folder in Program Files x 86 iti also tried to suppress the appdata profile (after saving the Favorites and passwords). I can't even boot up in firefox safe mode and can not get to start Profile Manager. If I start (7 x 64) of windows in safe mode, I can start firefox. I use Norton Internet Security. I checked the settings of firewall smart and experienced of firefox is still set to allow. I tried starting firefox with smart firewall turned off and firefox still refuses to start

• The computer date went before a day, switched back and now Firefox will not record history.

  Hey guys! My brothers and sisters have decided to play a trick on me and changed my computer to the front of a week time (panic ensued). I changed it to the current date, 07/30/2104 21:18 (at time of writing), and now Firefox will not trace of my story. Just one day, I changed the time on the computer to the front and then Firefox will begin to record history. Changed, there again at the present time and also return one day and it will not save. Story work for Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

  TL:Dr - Firefox became the TARDIS and stepped forward in time to save the history.

  Hello

  Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

  Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
