Some Web sites lock up Firefox and Chrome, but not in Explorer

When I search Google News "Edward Snowden", some clicking on some sites Web crashes Firefox, requiring a re-initialization (Windows 7). Here is a site that caused a complete blocking:
http://www.Google.com/URL?SA=t & rct = j & q = esrc s = & source = newssearch & cd = 1 & cad = AJLN & ved = 0CC8QqQIoADAA & url = http %3% 2F % www.dnaindia.com%2Fworld%2F1869429%2Freport-edward-snowden-misses-girlfriend-amidst-outpouring-of-love-from-russian-girls 2F & ei = ann - UaPkBsSptAa_oYHoDQ & usg = AFQjCNHRRYLmGDtn9ZrMt1-CtaHie4oxBw & sig2 = Phhb2QB3vkwm0Yt22Ouw1w & bvm = bv.50165853, d.Yms
This site has also locked up Google Chrome, but surprisingly it it does not lock to the top of the Windows Explorer!
You will appreciate your help.

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:

  • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
  • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  • 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:

This solve your problems? Please report to us!

Thank you.

  • Need Suggestions - Web Site works in Firefox and Safari but not Internet Explorer

    Hello all;

    I need to develop a web site quickly in Dreamweaver and I made the basic design and works perfectly on Firefox and Safari, but for some reason, I have a strange behavior on Internet Explorer that I havn't been able to understand. I would like to see if someone can help me because it makes me crazy.

    The first photo shows a screenshot if Internet Explorer. Note is how IE spaces between my graphics in my menu on the left. IE is Horrible. I used CSS, not tables. The image below is a screenshot of Firefox and it shows how it should look.

    I loaded a prototype demonstration at www.dedula.net/balloonsat if you have time to check the actual code. Also, could someone tell me how to center the image in a browser? I see all the web sites are centered, but mine is positioned to the left. I'm guessing there's a CSS trick for that. Thank you 1 million.

    OK, I'll try an example, but do not know if the forum will mangle code, here goes.

    Say you had this code...

    Link 1

    Link 2

    If you remove the white space, you would end up with...

    Link 1 Link 2

    I know it's stupid, but good is so IE!

    And it seems that the forum does not mangle, so hopefully that will help.

  • Menu Spry works in Firefox and Safari, but not Internet Explorer

    I designed my site to school in CS4 and CS5.  The left spry menu bar appears correctly in Firefox and Safari, but in Internet Explorer the gray background and the buttons do not appear.  You can see the text and when you scroll down, it disappears even if when you click on it, the link appears.  The site is http://ml.chinookschools.org.  I created the website on a mac and I'm hosting on a mac mini server on my network at the school.  I am a beginner with Dreamweaver and I don't know if anyone can help me with this, but of course, I'd be grateful for any help.

    You do not use the latest Spry files

    The latest version of the Adobe Spry 1.6.1 Framework it is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you are using Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can be easily done by using Updater Spry who can be found here.

    Then, if you take a look at the bottom of SpryMenuBarVertical.css you will see that the white background color has been specified for IE as in

    @media screen, projection

    {

    UL. MenuBarVertical li. MenuBarItemIE

    {

    display: inline;

    f\loat: left;

    Background: #FFF;

    }

    }

    Change the value to #CCC and it will have fixed that part of the problem.

    When you upgrade to the later version of Spry, be sure to keep a copy of the CSS file as a reference to the change of the new CSS file.

    I have a Windows 7 computer, I intended to use for Netflix movies specifically so I can get the subtitles.  Netflix is running in Media center, but does not seem to support subtitles.  Silverlight crashes after 20 or 30 minutes in Firefox and Chrome.  I think it hangs is IE also, but I rarely use it because it is difficult to get through all the options of the offer. I did uninstall it and reinstall stuff without success.

  • My Web page works fine in Dreamweaver/Firefox and Safari but not will not work correctly in Internet Explorer. Help please

    Hello

    I downloaded my page from Dreamweaver yesterday and it works fine in Firefox and Safari, but when I open it on Internet explore, background tables have moved and the image links above have a white boarder around.

    Web page link: http://www.GS-designproject.co.UK/home.html

    any help much appreciated.

    Thank you

    GAV

    The white edges around your images are created as they are integrated into the links. Add the following to your stylesheet:

    an img {}

    border: none;

    }

    The problem with the line of the table at the bottom reads:

    colspan = "760px" height = "40" valign "middle"="" >

    The colspan attribute takes the number of columns that you are stretching on, not a number of pixels. Judging by the rest of the table, to colspan = "7".

  • Some Web site drop-down lists and some inactive features - Mac

    On a Mac and only in the last 6 months.
    My Bank has updated its interface (more dynamic, possibly using Ajax), and Firefox is unable to view my account information. Safari and my PC can.
    Various Web sites that have drop-down lists for searches, the menu drop-down is inactive (iStockphoto.com main search). I find this issue more with recent (now 13) Firefox on Mac 10.6.
    Both and although I feel, I go to Safari.

    It could be that one of your modules interfere. You can try to troubleshoot and to understand that we could be. Instructions for this are here - Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems

  • The colors for my Google calendar disappeared. I can see with Safari and Chrome, but not with Firefox.

    I use Windows 7. I tried to delete the cookies and cache. Nothing has changed. There is no similar problem with all other browsers: Safari, Chrome or Internet Explorer. I restarted my computer. I had to send this chrome because Firefox does not load correctly your site after many attempts. The colors seem to be rinsed at each site. Is there an easy way to restore the colors?

    Thank you.

    Firefox fits pretty well most of the themes of Windows 7, but in some cases, there may be glitches, particularly with the themes "high contrast".

    You are allowing Web sites to specify their colors or their substitution? This is a setting that you can change in the Options.

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > content

    Click on the 'Colors' button and make sure that the box is checked for "allow pages to choose their own colors".
