I reset Foxfire, restarted in safe mode with add-ons and plug-ins disabled but still can't stop Foxfire hang-up. Why am I always having to reload page?

Hello,

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration.

You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).

Then perform these steps:

  1. Click the menu button New Fx Menu and select Options on Windows or Preferences on Mac or Linux.
  2. Select the Advanced panel and then the General tab.
  3. Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
  4. Restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

Thank you.

If the above does not help,

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
