IE seems to be computer stop when in Firefox. How to block IE?

When I have Firefox running, say on FoxNews, Newsmax, or even local weather, computer occasionally stops completely. In addition, too many crash of Script running that literally stop everything until I discovered the dialog box that allows me to cancel the script (all who's who is stuck.)

Not sure, but I believe that these things happen only when the browser is opened in Firefox. The problem is not the temperature (such as heatsinks dusty, fans blocked, etc..) That's all nice and clean as a whistle.

My suspicion is pointing IE as the culprit, since after a search session, etc., on the web, browsing history shows very little a huge pile of activity IE vs Firefox. There must be a way to block IE for all ads and framed, etc..

Hello windmills.

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.

Please report back to see if this helped you!

Thank you.

  • Satellite Pro M40: computer stops when you press the SHIFT key

    Sometimes when I press the shift key it wonder if I want to shut down the computer. It also changes the internet Explorer mode in full screen. When it arrives it will be continually for centuries and then suddenly stop. Then start again. It seems not to happen at any given time. I disabled the hot key in the Toshiba utility and which comes to the top of the Tower stops when I pressed the SHIFT key, it does not give me the option.
    It's really annoys me because I can't just think what to do.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's very strange. It is the first time I heard about this issue.
    As much as I know the Toshiba utility cannot add additional functions to shift and make this key as a stop button.
    I have gift? don't know if you have installed the 3rd party applications that can change the keyboard feature, but you should check this possibility.

    In addition can also be a defective hardware. Maybe something wrong with the keyboard controller. But of course the diagnostic test is necessary.

  • Computer stops when the power to the computer to sleep, on computer virus problem

    Hello

    When I put my pc sleep and wake him up, a window pops up saying that the machine has stopped unexpectedly, and then the pc automatically reboots by itself,.

    after reboot, a window box comes in saying that the pc rebooted one... and that Windows will inform me what to do.  What happened yesterday and today.

    I must say however that Friday evening, August 24, my pc was slow work, since a few days I noticed, but Friday it was slower, I could see that something

    moving in often via the little blue wheel icon that shows that something is happening.

    I "had" McAfee Total Protection in my machine since 08/05/2012 and last night I clicked on the McAfee to do a full Scan of my pc, because I thought there was something fishy in it.  McAfee Full Scan clicked, a blue page with white letters arrived, quick and deep that I saw Dump numbers going up to 100, then the blue screen came out and restarted my PC.  After reboot a small box of Windows came to say that the machine had stop unexpectedly, he

    has run a control bar, when in fact something like 'your stop machine unexpectedly and windows will inform you what to do', something like that.  I then

    new click the McAfee icon, click the full sweep, the same thing happens again anywhere.

    Then, I went to the website of McAfee and talkative with Technical Support, he came into my pc to see for himself, he opened the Navigation button and had IP

    address to which McAfee was 'downtime '.  He told me I had a virus in my computer... He gave me a phone # to call for assistance in the removal of the virus. I called, the man

    did not come into my PC to see, he said, I had to pay $89. something taken him. I closed with him, went with the customer, aksed for my refund...

    sad situation, but I withdrew my PC with McAfee.

    I've downloaded Malwarebytes, checked my PC had 2 Trojan horses, you click on Remove to remove the.  Still had Malwarebytes in pc, I went to Trend Micro, which I had before in my pc for years and renewed my Sub. with them and has installed. After doing a full Scan, no virus.

    I made a 'machine checking if' work properly AM early this morning.

    This afternoon, August 25. I opened my pc, the audit began, time + after pc restarted normally, then all of a sudden the blue window came with white letters, dump numbers went up to 100 then pc rebooted, Windows little box came "... unexpected" and normal ran pc after.  Worked a bit on the pc then place to sleep so I could go somewhere, when I clicked on the mouse to wake up, as I always do in the pc, it awakened, blue page with while that the lettering came, took place on the same things as above.  PC ran good, had to go eat, put the pc to sleep, came back same thing occurred again

    I searched what happens and found nothing.  I went to the community, there nothing either.  So I'm here today to help hoping that you know what is happening.

    Thank you for your time and your help.

    Hello

    Currently, you have a program full-time antivirus installed on the computer?

    If you do not have one, I suggest you to install Microsoft Security Essentials.  Follow this link to download.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Run a Scanner online from Microsoft.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
    The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

     

    Method 2: To remove the virus manually, see the article:

    How to remove a computer virus?
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/how-do-I-remove-a-computer-virus

    Important: The Troubleshooting Manual in the link above steps show you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • Computer stops when installing recovery CD.

    I have a HP Pavilion HPE H8-1234 Desk Top.  Microsoft product support has removed the drivers for my lan and Wi - Fi connection and I couldn't made restore.  I ordered the HP recovery CD.  I followed the instructions for recovery.  Insterted the diskette extra when it is called for then 4 recovery cd he went through the whole process.  Computer rebooted several times, loaded software etc. and then the final reboot, it says start windows for the first time.  Then the computer shuts down.  I installed the software 3 times and the same thing happens.  When I start in safe mode it says computer cannot run in safe mode for the first installation.  I am at a loss.  Run the diagnostics and mem, hardrive etc. all found good.   Any ideas?  I've about had it with HP computers and Microsoft support.  I wish Ihad a windows 7 cd to try to install the.

    Hello

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create an installation of Windows 7 in the 'Detail' disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a very respected source - Digital River.

    Images of Windows 7.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx

    All pilots additional and the software, you may need can be found here.
