Whenever something happens on Firefox, I get a Message "Not responding" for about 10-20 seconds.

• Firefox crashes every five minutes, "not responding" for about a minute full at a time, then resumes, only to do it again five minutes later

  It of just randomly, about every five minutes just freezes. It is not my computer, just the browser. I get the (not answer) in the upper left corner of the browser. I have to keep wait a full minute of the browser to resume. Only, this has started to happen after I downloaded Firefox 7

  I had this same problem... I uninstalled (control Panel\Programs and features) all Java (sort by name) and responsible for JAVA 6.0. Firefox is still back to normal... (don't forget to change the settings in JAVA do not check updates...) I hope this helps!

• Every few minutes, I get a message "not responding" and I can't do anything until he goes.

  Every few minutes (sometimes in less than 60 seconds, Firefox crashes upward. If I try to keep typing I have a message "do not answer" and will have to wait until he's going to continue. This always occurs when you browse through my e-mail, but it happens to other sites, whenever I have to type an entry. I have tried disabling all my modules and it still happens. I deleted Firefox and reloaded it and the problem persists. I'm about to go back to Microsoft Explorer, because it is too long to navigate in Firefox. I use Windows 7, 64 bit, on a one-year-old Dell with a lot of speed, laptop memory and hard disk space.

  See Firefox crashes

  Also, try running Firefox in questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode. If it works properly in this configuration, then one of your modules is the culprit.

  I also notice a couple of old installations plugin in your system specs. I recommend you to update Flash on v10.2.159.1 which also addresses a recently discovered Zero Day exploit. See Adobe releases Flash Player security update
  Update via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  Also, go to the Windows Control Panel. Java and updated for v1.6.0_24 by clicking on 'Update Now' button.

  You have AVG Safe Search, AVG Linkscanner or McAfee Secure Search installed? All three are problematic and tend to cause Firefox to slow down. They can be disabled in tools | Add - ons | Extensions.

  If the problem persists despite the above measures, please let us know and we will try to help you further.

• Windows Defender does not work. When I try to turn it on, I get the message "not responding".

  Original title: Windows Defender

  I have Windows Vista and my Windows Defender will activate/doesn't not work.  When I try to turn it on, it responds by saying: 'it is not responding' and stops automatically.  I tried to re - install & who did not work.  Any ideas.

  Hi lskdjfoie,
   
  What have you tried to reinstall? Windows Defender or other programs?
   
  I suggest the following steps and check.
   
  Step 1:
   
  Usually if you have a third-party security software installed, Windows Defender would not work. I would temporarily disable all security software and check if the problem persists.
   
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
   
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Step 2:
   
  If this does not help, I would say you scan SFC on your computer and check if Windows Defender works fine.
   
  Step 3:
   
  If none of the steps helps create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

• I get messages "Not responding" constants and Thunderbird freezes. I did everything suggested on this forum. Nothing helps.

  I've done all that I can find in this forum - in safe mode, change the settings for McAfee, etc, etc, etc. I downloaded Thunderbird again and reinstalled. Nothing helps. I can look at an email but if I try to remove it I get the message "not responding". If I try to go to the next message I get the message "not responding". If I try to do something, while the screen is frozen, it goes gray and I get the message "not responding". Short of changing my email viewer, is there anyway I can fix it.

  @Jennis, what are posting you here to. Contact McAfee, it is not a question of Thunderbird.

• Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working". It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error code just a constant circle. This has happened for days. I am running windows 7.

  Whenever I try to update, I get the message "windows Explorer has stopped working".  It then seeks a solution, restarts, and immediately stops again. No error, just a constant circle of shutdown and startup code.  This has happened for days.  I am running windows 7.

  I think that norton or mcafee may have been preinstalled as trial versions, but I've never actually used them. Unfortunately I can't use the windows Explorer, so I can't check if they are still there.

  We will cover all the possibilities.

  1. download each of the tools for deletion below, save it to your desktop:

  Norton Removal Tool: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  McAfee removal tool: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all software (including LiveUpdate and Add-ons of Norton) Norton through Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view)

  IMPORTANT! => Activate the Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  IMPORTANT! => Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed the steps #4, #5 and #6 below!

  4. right click on one of the files that you saved in #1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  5. Repeat step #4 for another removal tool.

  Tips:

  -Online use another computer to download the removal tool, if necessary, then transfer it to the computer via CD, DVD, or a USB brand new, never been used (flash drive), or a summer freshly updated in shape.

  -Online start the problem in Mode safe computer, if necessary, proceed as above.

  -Online after completing all of the above, uninstall AVG Free & reboot. Now do a new installation of AVG Free 9.0, this time select the CUSTOM installation option and do NOT install (uncheck) Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Any improvement?

  While you are in Mode without failure, you could copy a list of your extensions and paste them into an answer? The best place for this is the support information page - either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  Scroll down to the Extensions section, and then select from there until the end of the following table with the mouse and copy. Then paste into a response. It may seem a bit messy but don't worry, we're used to it.

• All of a sudden, after a update of firefox, I get "this connection is untrusted" for Facebook, no matter if I use http: or https:, WHY?

  All of a sudden, after a update of firefox, I get "this connection is untrusted" for Facebook, no matter if I use http: or https:, WHY? Here are all the details of the error message:

  This connection is Untrusted

  You asked Firefox to connect safely to facebook.com, but we cannot confirm that your connection is secure.

  Normally, when you try to connect safely, sites will present a reliable identification to prove that you're in the right place. However, the identity of this site cannot be verified.
  What should I do?

  If you normally connect to this site without problems, this error can mean that someone is trying to impersonate the identity of the site, and you should not continue.

  This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST) to specify that Firefox didn't connect safely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

  Facebook.com uses an invalid security certificate.

  The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.

  (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

  (Also included a screenshot).

  COR - el said

  You can check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click on the clock icon in the Windows taskbar.

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/secure+connection+failed

  You can retrieve the certificate and check details such as WHO issued the certificates and the expiration dates of certificates.

  • Click on the link at the bottom of the error page: "I understand the risks".
  • Let Firefox recover the certificate: "Add Exception"-> "get certificate".
  • Click on the button "View" and inspect the certificate and the Coachman, who is the issuer.

  You can see more details like the intermediate certificates that are used in the Details tab.

  If you cannot inspect the certificate by "I understand the risks", then try this:

  Open the chrome URI by pasting or typing this URI in the address bar to open the window "Add the Security Exception" and to check the certificate:

  • chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.XUL

  In the field location type and paste the URL of the Web site

  • retrieve the certificate via the button 'Get certificate '.
  • Click on the "view..." button. "to inspect the certificate in the certificate display

  Check which is the issuer of the certificate.
