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.

Firefox suddenly has become very slow. It takes too much time to load all websites and even the typed words and scrolling has a great delay in appearing. It becomes unresponsive very often. I tried reinstalling it and even reset it. Its becoming a pain to use this to surf the net. Please do help!!

I have just updated to ff ver 20 and it keeps crashing I get a message that shockwave flash is not working continue or cancel when I hit either, it causes ff to freeze so I have to close and reopen. I have updated the flash, and also reinstalled ff everything you suggested please help. This mainly occurs on facebook but has happened on other sights, I uninstalled all my adobe and reinstalled, also reinstalled ff manually. and have updated all Java

I just loaded windows 8 onto my system and placed Firefox version 19. as my web browser and went to Youtube and updated flash to the Version it was looking for which in this case is 11.6 r602 and now everywhere that I go on the web the plug in pops up says it fails and locks up my firefox. I have done what the suggestions have said

1. Made sure system was up to date 2. Lowered hardware and flash acceleration 3. changed firefox settings 4. have done numerous re-installs of firefox and flash

I had to start using google chrome Please help I like fire fox better

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. https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yG/r/rEq55HRbeKE.js:64 This script pops up no matter what page I'm on every 15 - 20 mins. How do I fix it?

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.

When browsing with Firefox whenever I log on to a web site and try to access information the following error message appears: https://ssl-mpv.montiera.com/widgets/entryPoints/softonic.js?hrdId . 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.

I've re installed the flash plugin many times and i have updated my firefox 20.0 every thing i updated dosn't even fix it.I have try all the regarding crashes in firefox,but i have tried all the methods all is updated and still keep constantly crashing i also have Google chrome install on my window.? How do i fix it to not crash any more like this?

Hers the list of all the submitted crash reports in sky-drive https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=0379D37A732CAE9F&id=379D37A732CAE9F!124

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 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.

Ok so lately i've been having lots of issue with YOUTUBE on mozilla 21.

I've got shockwave flash 11.7.700.224

The problems i'm having is that some videos takes forever to just load.. im staring at a blackscreen for 1-2min before it starts.. and after that i wanna change quality to 720p or 1080p and it takes 1 year to change quality.. i dont get it. It wasn't like this before.

Dont give me obvious answers like "clear your cache" "delete cookies" i've tried all this.. I've even reinstalled my windows completly and it didnt even fix it.

All my drivers are up to date.

help pls.

every time, and i mean EVERY TIME i enable flash on firefox 20 running windows 8 it freezes. i disable it and all is fine, i enable it and FF freezes and is totally unresponsive. i have tried everything, running ff in safe mode, totally uninstalling both flash and firefox, nothing works. chrome works fine using it, any suggestions?

The PC hangs completely, no keyboard or mouse response. The system is very stable and never crashes when not using firefox. The only version which works without crashing the PC is 3.6.28, but this has a few rendering problems and some websites don't display properly. I have turned on crash reporting, but it never produces a report. I have done a firefox reset, but makes no difference. The system never stays up for more than 10 minutes. I have turned off hardware acceleration. What do you need from me to help identify the cause?

This is still prevalent and I have had to disable the plugin for shockwave player. Similar was happening with adobe flash player but since the Firefox update it isn't happening as much. Is there a solution to solve this or is it a Adobe issue that they need to fix.? When it hangs or crashes it sometimes takes out downloads. I rolled back to the older dowload box because if I closed the browser it took the downloads out. Downloads don't crash as much with the older download box but with Firefox 20 ( with the new download style) the downloads died quickly with an error message the "file could not be read"

Also, is it okay to enable my add ons now, they were accentuating the problem as well.
