I've been using firefox for a really really long time, and I play quite a lot of facebook games. Yesterday morning, things were working perfectly fine, but later in the day, I suddenly started getting these shockwave errors. I can't recall downloading anything and I must have uninstalled and reinstalled the flash player at least 8 times. It's honestly starting to frustrate me. I love firefox, but if the browser refuses to work, I probably won't be using it for much longer.

Hey, as the title says youtube videos start with a delay of about 10-12 seconds, and no it's not my internet's fault and it's not loading just doesn't start for ~12seconds or if the page is refreshed(then it starts immediatly). And this happens very randomly for some time 1/2 of the videos can start fine and then 3-5 in a row will have that 12second period.

And the second issue which i also noticed some other people have is shockware plugin crashing on a regular basis. And all this started today, before that it was all ok and today the troubles started.

The shockware plugin was crashing so constantly i tried updating flash player(didn't help), deleting and reinstalling(didn't help). I tried safe mode still youtube freezing and plugin crasher were there, updated my GPU drivers(no effect), disabled hardware acceleration(no visible effect)

So i downgraded to flash player 10.3 plugin crashes became more rare but youtube problem is still there, extremely frustrating. And no such thing happening in Chrome, but i don't want to ditch Firefox as i've been using it since 2007.

The problem is basically exactly like described here, only the solution presented there does not actually work for me: http://askubuntu.com/questions/59062/a-script-on-this-page-may-be-busy-or-it-may-have-stopped-responding-everytime

What happens is that every time I hibernate my laptop (with Windows 7 Pro, 64bit), when I resume from hibernation, FF is completely unresponsive (hangs) for minutes. Easily around 5 minutes. Eventually a dialog box pops up with the following:


"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete."


And the two buttons are: "stop script" or "continue". After I click "stop script" the unresponsiveness finally goes away, and FF starts working normally again.

I think possibly even clicking "continue" also makes it go back to normal, but I'm not sure anymore since I have recently just switched to sleep mode out of frustration in order to not deal with it anymore, and I don't remember exactly if I get the same result from clicking either option.

This is extremely frustrating.

Someone else reported an extremely similar symptom here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/935110?esab=a&as=aaq It might even be the exact same symptom. Maybe that person simply never waited long enough for the dialog box to appear, but otherwise the unusability symptoms are the same.

The computer knows as much about this site as I do which is precisely nothing. I have tried removing and reloading Firefox but the same problem occurs again and again. It is almost enough to drive me to Windows . Please advise how I can get rid of this problem.

I get the following message:the ordinal 459 could not be located in the dynamic link library. urlmon.dll. I get this when requesting list links within a genealogy program (not on the internet) Haven't noticed it on anything else yet because I have been obsessing over just that one program. At the same time I notice that my windows sidebar is not visible. Have not changed any settings. Java was disabled due to the recent exploitation. Would that have something to do with it. Or perhaps Firefox18 installed and then it went bad? Thanks in advance for any help. Running Vista.

My Firefox crashes when trying to open 75% of web pages. I get the windows standard "Firefox is not responding" window after it freezes while trying to load the page.

I have singled out the problem to be the Shockwave Flash (11.5.502.149) plugin as everything works correctly with this disabled.

I have tried updated flash, uninstalling and re-installing it and the same with FF but nothing seems to work so far.

Win7 64 bit Firefox20 Adobe flashplayer 11 plugin

when streaming, Task Manager notes:

Flashplayerplugin__11__7__700__169.exe *32 -- uses 50% of CPU and higher

plugin - container.exe*32 -- uses 40% of CPU and higher

Using 100% of CPU results in choppy video. I do not believe this heavy CPU use was not the case before I upgraded from Firefox13 and Adobe flashplayer 11. I tried downgrading but this did not seem to make a difference.

Thanks for any help.

Quite often I receive a message after clicking on Firefox saying 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.' Why does Firefox not close properly and the process stay running?? I am seriously thinking of moving to google chrome and abandoning firefox because of this error. It isnt my system because it happens on my laptops and friends computers too. I could expect the odd crash with firefox but not as many as I am experiencing. I normally get this error around 4 to 5 times a week

My Firefox keeps crashing. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, run it in safe mode, and nothing seems to prevent the crashing. I completely deleted all of the old Firefox files before reinstalling it, but even the fresh clean version keeps crashing. The crashes happen almost immediately. I open the browser, try to load a site, and the browser crashes within a few seconds.
