Firefox Support Forum

Hi,

On Hulu I can't get any shows to play. If there is an ad at the beginning, that will play, or most of them it seems, but the video never starts.

Any idea why this may be occurring?

Thank you.

Operating system

win vista sp1

Lately Firefox does not load on my Vista--especially since update 18 happened. It shows that Firefox is running in the task manager but the page doesn't come up. This is every time I try to start the browser. It runs once I can get it to come up--but it never ever comes up the first time without going into task manager and finding the file it is in and starting it there as "administrator". This is very very annoying--before I uninstall and change browser back to Chrome which has its own issues--perhaps you can enlighten me as to how to fix this problem--it needs a patch? Don't tell me to dump history cookies etc. This I have already tried and it doesn't do anything--the problem persists. Any solutions for me? Thanks Lr

How do I stop Firefox from remembering my user names? I know about how to turn off the password remembering but that doesn't stop it from remembering my user names. The only way i know of to stop it is to clear my history. I don't want to keep doing that every time I close firefox.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== when it was installed

I have been using Firefox for several years and have enjoyed it, first off; however, I have become aggravated enough with the last 2 updates to ditch it, if it can't act right.

I have tired to uninstall that pesky Iminent search, followed instructions for removal, only to find it is NOT in my program line up so I cannot uninstall it !! What do I do now? I have totally taken Firefox 9.01 out, hoping it would allow me to get rid of this pesky, obtrusive thing that keeps coming up rather than my home page ! I do not like it !! I want rid of it.

Also with my last 2 updates or upgrades, I lost the very best program add on I had, "Norton Toolbar" !! It kept all my accounts ids log in information, and gave me info about the pages I was in doubt about. Now I have Norton 360, 5.0, have had it updated so I could run it on this 9. and 9.01, and it isn't even in the line up for add on. I was even using Firefox as my default most of the time, now there is no way I will with this going on.

Lately, when I log on to my yahoo mail while using firefox, it no longer shows the DELETE option at the top of the email page. So, I cannot delete any emails that I might wish to delete. Also, I cannot get past the first page of my emails. Every time I click on the NEXT PAGE button, it does not move from page 1. This does not happen when I log onto yahoo mail using Internet Explorer. Please advise as to what I can do to correct this. Could it be that I'm not using the latest version of Firefox? I don't know...

I tried updating the flash player after updating to the newest version on Firefox and it still doesn't work. That flash player problem needs to get fixed. This is so annoying! It does that on versions higher than Firefox 13.

I also have the hardware acceleration turned off.

This problem started last night and currently affects all browsers on my laptop . Clicking anywhere on any website opens a new tab with this address http://clkmon.com/adServe/sa?pid=shlemoon&cid=SHXPOP which then redirects me to any number of websites . I popped out for a few hours after doing a bit of shopping with no problems , came back and suddenly started having the trouble . My AV and spybot are not finding the problem . Checked my programs list and found the only thing installed yesterday was a google toolbar for IE , must have been auto updated . Uninstalled it just in case , no solution . System restore has also failed to fix the problem .

Searching online today , I have noticed a number of people are having this problem with various browsers but there are currently no solutions , so any help would be greatly appreciated . 

I am currently going through the processes on windows task manager to see if I can find any unwanted ones but I am generally unfamiliar with them so it may take a while .

There is nothing that actually need to be trusted. There is no secrets to hide with a crypto. Just need to get this site for reading a forum and watch photos: https://fotokala.ee/

Why Firefox is so shitty, that I can't make an exemption?

It appears I somehow got upgraded to the newest version of firefox. And everytime I try to clear the history it freezes. Then I get errors... Something about a script... or the program will just say "not responding"

Can this be fixed? If not can I download an older version which worked?

Using Vista, Foxfire 18.0.1 runs fine until attempting to access a site that need Java to display information. Now with the recent security warning, I first get a screen that that indicated "This plug in has security vulnerabilities -- Click here to activate Java Platform SE & U Platform."

When I click to activate, another box appears the indicates security warning. Only the box appears and at that point Foxfire is totally locked up. At that point I need to go the Task Master to kill Foxfire as well as the security popup window.

The Java Control Panel indicates that I have the latest version of Java.

Suggestions?

I've looked all over the internet and this is happening a lot.

It has made a very good product a very bad product...

I don't just surf the internet for fun it's my living so I'm going to have to start using Google Chrome instead.

What a waste of time.

Firefox is running very slowly now. Videos on all sites take forever to load, if they load at all. & games are choppy & run in slow motion. Firefox is also often completely unresponsive, & randomly freezes when typing comments, clicking links, etc. I had some problems before, but since upgrading to Firefox 13, it's been ridiculously bad. I even called my internet provider, Charter, cause I thought it was somethin they were doin. Their Speed Test is one reason I know it's not them. When I run the Speed Test using Windows IE, I get these results: http://speedtest.ookla.com/result/1702077109.png When I run that same test through Firefox, I get these results: http://speedtest.ookla.com/result/1702070678.png I've already tried several things to fix this, including a complete uninstall/re-install.

right clicking and unchecking tabs on top is no longer an option. I freaking hate tabs above the address bar, it makes me so mad. Please help. I can not find anything in this to make it go where it belongs, below the address bar!!!!!!!!!

When I start the computer and open Mozilla all that comes up is a blank tab. Whatever I had from the previous session is gone. I've tried going into options and setting it under general to open them and that doesn't seem to work, and when I go to my menu bar at the top of the page and look under history there, it shows nothing. Before this last update, that's how I restored a lost session when necessary. I'm just at a loss to figure out what's going on now.

I've been using Firefox as my default browser for at least 8 years (after switching over from Netscape Navigator). I've never had any problems before, and I love Firefox! Per your info., I've assumed that FF automatically updates to the latest version (it's always been set in my Preferences to do that). But after I got up to Version 10.0, it apparently stopped doing that! When I would check the version, it would say "You are on the update release version" (paraphrase) and then the "checking for updates" circle would just spin.

Three days ago (June 28, 2013), I tried to go to what I assumed was a trusted site (Obama's Organizing for Action) (from a link on an e-mail notice), and I got a notice that FF considered this an untrusted site(?) The next day (June 29, 2013), I tried to reach another trusted site (via Google), the California Lifeline site (phone company), and I got the same "untrusted site" notice(!)

At this point, I decided to see if my FF was up to date. I checked info. on your site and found out that the latest version was 22.0! (Why wasn't it updated for all the versions after 10.0?!) So I downloaded the latest version. When I opened the new version, FF was terribly slow!! It takes forever to load websites or to switch between sites, or to do just about anything! THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE! I've read many articles on what could be wrong and how to potentially fix it, but I'd rather start here! Please help as soon as possible! Thanks much in advance!
