Why Google Image Search freezes up when using Firefox?

During the execution of an Image via Google in Firefox search it temporarily freezes or becomes constantly slow. I unchecked the hardware acceleration, as suggested by some, but it made no difference; My graphics drivers to date, I used Firefox worm. 23. I've updated when I first noticed the problem if it persists despite the update.

I have no virus or threats on my PC.

Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

To turn on safe mode

  • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
  • Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox. " Linux: "Firefox/file > exit ')

  • Google results is not accurate when using Firefox

    After that I installed Chrome, when I used the search on Google with Firefox, the results have been distorted. For example, when I searched for Netflix using google on Firefox, the home page does not appear. When I used google on Chrome or IE, Netflix home page would then appear as always. The results were the same, using any keyword, like Yahoo, Ebay, etc. Is there a reason for the change of the algorithm when using google and Firefox?

    You seem to be signed in to Google, so it is possible that Google stores your search history and offers you "customized" links.

    Is there a difference in when you're not connected?

    So, you can check the parameters of Google to see if web history is enabled (click on the gear icon in the form on the page of Google results).

  • Google image search results does not load Firefox

    Firefox will not load the google search results. It will load the results page with thumbnails, etc., but if you click on one of them, just a spinning icon loading is displayed on the tab and it never loads.

  • Maxing out CPU with Google Image search, some other sites

    When I try to use Google Image search or load items of SBNation, the Firefox maxes CPU usage site and it stops responding during 10 seconds before it has loaded everything. It is a new problem that has arisen in recent weeks.

    I tried to disable all addons and plugins, deleting the cookies, clear cache, downgraded version beta at 23 and none seem to make no difference.

    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:

    Hi, a recurring problem - when using Firefox on my Android Web site, are often distorted. If I try to zoom before to increase the size of police or image during playback, the screen breaks and distorts, with different sections of text and images disappear (black sections of the screen appear) or overlapping, often in a different font sizes. The Web site displayed on the screen as "jumps around." The same thing happens if I try to select text for copy - it is impossible to select all or selection is distorted. I have not had this problem before and noticed only recently. Almost impossible to use the browser now! What is the result of an automatic update of the software? Help, please! Thank you.

  • Strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using Firefox

    Hello

    I feel a strange glitch Visual on the taskbar when using firefox.

    Please take a look at this short video because it shows the problem, it's almost impossible to show in pictures.

    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12595174/VIDEO0016.3gp

    I use firefox on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit v36.0.1. Video card is an ASUS R9 280 X using the latest drivers from AMD 14.12 Catalyst Omega Software.

    Motherboard is an ASUS M5A88 with 16 GB of ram and a processor of 6300 FX.

    It is a new construction that I have implemented in the last 24 hours, and this behavior was not present on the system using the same version of windows, firefox and even map chart and drivers. But on another card mother and CPU. Previous Board of Directors has been
    M4A79XTD EVO with a Phenom II X 4 955BE.

    The glitching does not occur when it is on the desktop and firefox is closed. It will not occur when you use IE - 64 nor does it when I am using the steam software or any Explorer windows/opening files.

    All the motherboard drivers are installed correctly, the integrated graphics card is disabled in the BIOS. I disabled the settings of firefox for hardware acceleration, smooth scrolling and text... to see if it was the question. It wasn't.

    I'd appreciate any help to solve this... Really, I don't want to use a different browser but it's bad enough and quite distracting to really annoy me, and I don't see any alternative.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi jscher2000

    I was about to post a reply, because a friend suggested that maybe that's a rendering of issue rather than a firefox one video card even if it's strange how it affected firefox only. I didn't have a chance to test it on Chrome as it is a new construction and I don't want to install the software, I do not use.

    I went to the Manager of catalyst and had a glance to the settings. I changed something, but no help... I then started to make a simple change and test until I found that the activation "gpu up-scaling" in the properties of digital flat screens has solved the problem.

    I am now free twinkle

    Thanks for your quick response however.

  • Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update

    Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update. I don't want to restore but it appears every time instead of my homepage as shown

    A likely cause is that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

    Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

    • Bug 845681 - close all windows and abandonment of Firefox eventually led to about: sessionrestore to appear the next time you start

  • Why is the search for words in my search rather bar if G for google image search?

    In the upper right corner where I type for the elements, the word search is there instead of the symbol "G" for google. He used to have a blue "G" for google. Why is this and how can I change it?

    34 Firefox got a new scheme of the search bar. Does not display the icon search engine.

    You can return to the former regime of the search bar fairly easily, if that's what you prefer.

    Open Subject: config (typed in the address bar)
    Do a right click and toggle this false preference

    browser.search.showOneOffButtons

    Then restart Firefox.

  • Why did Windows 7 freezing when using Firefox?

    S ' went for months now with many attempts to identify the cause. Came to the conclusion that it is Firefox but can't understand why.
    -If you use Firefox, my whole PC, not only Firefox freezes. Sometimes in the first 5 minutes of use of Firefox, other times it can happen an hour in a session. A hard reboot is the only way to get back to my Office I waited an hour before, after a freeze and nothing happens. The mouse pointer move, nothing.
    D ' first thought it was a hardware problem or a problem of antivirus protection.
    -Reinstalled windows on three different hard disks that all have the disk check. Still happens
    -Installed windows 8 to see if this could solve the problem. Nope, did the same thing on Windows 8.
    -Ran Memtest 86 + 14 hours overnight to see if it was my memory. No, zero found errors of memory
    -To be sure I even tried to use only a strip of ram in my PC at the same time to see if the chopsticks were bad. No, it froze with each stick
    -Tried to change my anti-virus. He froze with every single one, AVG Free, Avast free, Microsoft Security Essentials.
    -J' realized that my PC freezes only when I'm on the web in firefox. If I use chrome or Internet explorer, it doesn't happen. These total PC freezes happen when I use firefox.
    -My only adds on / plug that I use is Adblock more and more those who come with default Firefox.
    -My firefox is updated, I reset and reinstalled [everything by adding only Ad Block +] and again, this does not solve the problem
    -In the event log window, the only thing that happens every time my PC freezes is the error "Session"Microsoft Security customer OOBE"stopped because of the following error: 0xC000000D", why this would affect Firefox, I don't know.
    -I would like to understand the cause of this because I really want to use Firefox again.

    I finally understood that Firefox isn't the problem with this problem, but it's actually the Nvidia drivers. It's a shame as Nvidia pushes the hard driver updates. Drivers to eliminate this problem are 314.22. After you have uninstalled the latest drivers and replacing them with 314.22 I did have the problem at all in any program, including Firefox.

    Here's a thread from Nvidia on the issue.

    https://forums.GeForce.com/default/topic/596642/GeForce-drivers/please-help-event-ID-14-from-source-nvlddmkm-cannot-be-found/2/

    I had to replace a lot of my material before I figured out it was the Nvidia drivers because I don't have the correct error message on my old set up which pointed me in the direction of the video card.

    If someone has this problem I highly recommend demotion to 314.22 driver version if you have a Nvida GPU in your system.

    I'm very disappointed in Nvidia for not solving this problem after 15 + updated since 314.22 driver.

  • Web of trust no longer works with bing and google image searches

    Hi all

    I searched and searched, but have not found a response that matches my characteristics. Any help would be appreciated.

    I used to be able to do but now I can no longer search and browse pictures on google or bing image search and have the function of the Web of Trust. Here's how I go about it.
    What I use:
    Annoymous google or bing search link to the image to DuckDuckGo when I get querries. In addition, the search directly from the search page of Google or Bing image does not work with WOT more or the other.
    Firefox 23.0.1
    The following add on:
    Add block plus 2.3.2
    BetterPrivacy 1.68
    Flagfox 4.2.12
    Ghostery 5.0.4
    Search link Google/Yandex difficulty 1.4.1
    No Script 2.6.7.1
    Web of Trust 20130515

    If anyone has a solution for this please let me know.

  • Google Image Search shows only one page of results, then the gray boxes

    Since several months ago, google search for images watch gray boxes instead of the thumbnails after a random number of thumbnails correctly indicated.

    I've seen several posts on the web and several suggestions, but none solved the problem for me (FF 20.0.1, Windows Vista and Windows 7).

    Finally, I tracked down the source of the problem and found a workaround:

    Looking at the traffic on my firewall (iptables nat) I found this during the loading of an image search result:
    192.168.168.159 - > 74.125.234.226 TLSv1 alert (level: Fatal, Description: unexpected Message)

    So, I realized that since there is a time firefox uses https whenever we use google.

    The solution is after loading the image (with the gray boxes) search result, just replace the https to http protocol in the browser's address bar. Which loads the remaining without problem images when you scroll to the bottom of the page.

    IE does not have the problem because it does not have this redirect. If you load a 'good' search results in Internet Explorer, then replace http with https in the address bar, the same problem occurs in Internet Explorer.

    (so, apologize for posting this here, because it's not really a matter of "firefox", but given that most people are complaining that it is, I though it would be a good place for the available information)

    Thanks, but as I said, that is done the same if forced to https. I can boot to linux, and FF is the same, like chrome.

    So it's not anything related to the cache, cookies, or plugins or even FF FF. It's probably something in the firewall. I just posted it here because other people have been blaming FF for this problem (it is more likely to be seen in FF, because it was google redirect to https for 14.0.1).
