Mozilla Firefox Would Hang/freeze While On The Net?
Apr 10, 2007
A few days ago Mozilla Firefox would hang/freeze while on the net. The hang/freeze would last only a few seconds to start with and go back to normal working behaviour but the hangs will extend to minutes then to a complete freeze. I use dial-up and noticed that after opening the browser data would be sent and received even when no inputs where made. Nothing was detected by AdAware Se, ZoneAlarm, Spybot S&D, F-Secure Blacklight, AVG 7.5 Virus or HiJackThis!.
I downloaded photoshop, and when I tried to install it, it says I have to be an admin. So, I logged off this account and signed in as Administrator, so when I tried to click Mozilla Firefox, it doesn't work. All it did was it came out with this : " Windows cannot find C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox exe.' Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, then click search"
Im using FireFox instead of IE now. But everytime I start the program it takes some time to start. A lot longer then IE does... Why is that and is there a way to fix that
Mozilla Firefox freezing on me. I keep shutting down and rebooting, I have tried uninstalling and einstalling version 3.63. I have also tried system restore Often it doesn't load properly I just get the minimised box and cannot get it to full size.I am at my wit's end. have avast antivirus and zone alarm firewall free versions of both.
While I tried to uninstall mozilla thro the uninstall icon of its main folder in C, (It is not appearing under add/remove programme I get an error msg.
If I press the "home" button, the active window goes "home" but a new tab is opened with "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" in it. This happens every time I press the "home" button. Can I stop it opening the new tab?
I have internet explorer as default browser and want to make mozilla firefox default. Ive downloaded mozilla firefox easily enough but I cant see how to make it default in place of IE. Ive also tried to delete the Mozilla Firefox download in order to try again, but will not let me delete as I dont have sufficient admin acess, which surprises me as its always been my computer.
On the Mozilla Firefox browser I have a blank toolbar right below the two toolbars that I specified. The deletion option is not there. How would I get rid of that extra toolbar
I love MF but I cannot use it because I sell on Ebay and it won't let me use any of the tools for formating. Fonts, color etc. and I need that for description purposes. So I guess I will have to go back to IE and fight all the crap unless someone has another suggestion. I have Windows xp home edition.
I am using the Mozilla Firefox browser and aside from security/virus issues I also wanted this browser because somewhere along the line, I read somewhere that it had a spell checker. I have looked through their extensions website but didn't find an English dictionary, found several languages out there but not English.
i open Internet on firefox the page shows the promoted videos with empty boxes instead of pictures. below each box is the heading discribing what the video is about. if i click on the featured videos i get the same thing. no pictures in the boxes. i tried asking through the Internet general help questions but had no success.in internet explorer i don't have this problem. i use mozilla firefox most of the time. it seems to be alittle faster than internet explorer.i even did a uninstall- reinstall of mozilla firefox.
using Mozilla firefox as my default browser. I have developed a problem wherein when I click on the x in the upper right corner, or the minus sign or the enlarge box, I get no response. I can still easily shut firefox down through File> exit or through task manager (end Task) but not throughthe upper right signs. I uninstalled firefox 1.5 which I had been using and installed firefox 2.0 but the same things happen.
I need help finding my bookmarks. I have read all the previous posts on the subject in the XP forums and nothing is working. I haven't found any file named BOOKMARKS.HTML , file is not found!. I have XP SP2. I just got up this morning and they were gone, They worked last night,cuz I entered about 5 new entries. Is it possible that one of these new entries was infected or something?
Bought my daughter a new inspiron mini, it is only a month old.For starters it will no longer open Firefox. I reloaded Firefox and it still does the same thing, nothing happens, then a crash message from Mozilla.The machine is running real sluggish, and efforts to use "restore" are not working. I tried four different restore points, going back to the first and restore goes through the motions, reboots, then I get a message that say the machine was unable to restore, no changes were made.
I updated the site and now when I open Firefox it's just a blank page. No errors are displayed. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it's still the same. The Internet Exlporer works but I rather use Firefox.
I use windows xp. When I open mozilla ms pacman music plays. I can go to any page I want but the music plays in the background. I mistakenly hit the solved key for this problem.

I'm using the Mozilla Firefox browser, and when I try to download anything, the browser stores it as a "download", but it won't allow it to be installed...Is there probably a setting a need to change somewhere?
I have a strange problem with Outlook 2003 and Mozilla Firefox browser. When I receive an email with a internet link and I click the link two browser windows open, one to my default home page, the other one to the link. Sometimes one of the Firefox browser windows will be no bigger than the little firefox icon and the three window controls.
I would like to change Mozilla Firefox to be the default browser in Win XP Pro. Currently the default is Internet Explorer. Now I know that Mozilla has a function to do this automatically, however I would like to be able to change it back again later if I want to.
Recently, My main computer has been put through a Mozilla Firefox update. It took the best part of 5 hours since it hadn't been through an update in ages. Since the update however, the application "My Computer" refuses to start. Whenever i click on my computer, the screen draws back to the picture, the start bar disappears, and so does all the icons on the desktop. And nothing else happens after that.
Computer seems to freeze and go to a black screen after or before the xp screen, sometimes even when she first turns it on. and lately she says her computers been running slow.
I am sending this report to Gateway but I do not have much faith in their support. I have the following problems with my Gateway 4540 GZ notebook (Centrino 1.5Ghz, 512 Ram, 80 HD). I REALLY need help here, as of right now, the PC is almost useless System freezes/hangs after seemingly random intervals. During a freeze, the mouse cursor will not move, and system does not respond in any way. Even hitting CAPS LOCK does not light up its corresponding LED light. Entire computer remains frozen until a power cycle. Reboot does not always succeed on first attempt, and a second or third power cycle is no longer uncommon to get back into Windows
