I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

See above. I went to my control panel & tried to uninstall Firefox and that just sits there and nothing happens. I cannot use the current version of Firefox as noted above. When I loaded the update first, it says it loaded and then when I tried to use Firefox, it said something about a plug-in canister not working. That's when I restored my computer to a couple of weeks back which got rid of the update and gave me the previous version of Firefox. That does not come up either now. How can I get rid of it and reinstall Firefox from scratch?

When I click om Mozilla Firefox to get into Internet and try to look up anything I get "not responding" this happens always. Can not do anything such as check emails, face book, browse etc. When it does work for a minute or so I get the following message Adobe Flash has crashed submit a crash report. I have ran malware and virus scans and no threats etc come up. I have also uninstall both adobe flash and firefox several times. It also happens in safe mode as well. Very frustrating!!!!

Last week I could open theblaze.com without a problem, and this week it hangs with a message "(not responding)." I have done a refresh on release 41.0. I have reinstalled the browser, but to no avail. Why is this suddenly happening?

Starting a few days ago I've been having some serious issues with Firefox. It crashes almost constantly when I try to go on the internet. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the browser. Didn't work. When I go to close the page there is no option to send a report, it just asks me if I want to close the page or wait for it to respond. Then when I bring back Firefox it gives me the "Well this is embarrassing" message.

I have been having this problem since Monday after my computer was shut down two days in a row when I didn't have access to it. After I had started it back up, I went straight to YouTube. I clicked on a video and it started loading but then Firefox stops responding, and after about 30 seconds or so, it starts responding again. I just thought it did this because I had been gone for two days, so I decided to scroll down and look at the comments, where it did the same thing. I started to get frustrated, so I decided just to stay up where the video was and I tried to change the quality, where Firefox stopped responding and then started responding again. I then decided just to restart my computer, which didn't help at all. I then downloaded Chrome to see if it did the same thing when I was on YouTube, and it didn't. I tried looking up a problem on here, and found a guy with my exact problem, who figured out that he could fix it by just logging out and logging back it, which I tried, but it didn't work for me. I also cleared my cache and my YouTube watch and search history, which temporarily helped, but then it went back to not responding then responding again. My current version of Firefox is 40.1 if that helps any.

This just started today and I don't think Firefox updated recently. I have version 41.0 and I can use Zillow for about 10 minutes then I get "not responding" and I have to shut it down using end task. I tried safe mode but I have the same problem. I used Chrome and no problems with Zillow there. Any help is appreciated.

2 different computers are now crashing every few minutes after the latest update on FF. I tried some of your suggestions and then decided before I do anything drastic I would look on your FB page. You should read it. Hundreds of people are having the EXACT SAME PROBLEMS, so it is NOT on our end. I am now using Chrome until this is resolved. I have loved FF but this is unacceptable. People are angry. You have made no attempts to acknowledge this problem or say a patch or update is in the works. What is happening, no bull**it. I have to open task manager just to close FF every single time.

The (dinosaur) ISP Juno from California just unveiled a new startup page, StartJuno.com.

It doesn't look too different from the previous version of startup page.

It appears to load as usual, but for the time being pops up a box asking to take the viewer on a tour of the page's features.

Whether or not one goes through the tour, which is pretty mundane, afterward the cursor goes to 'wait'.

FF doesn't go into build-up-HUGE-amounts-of-memory mode, but just stops responding.

This appears to be FF-exclusive. No such problems IE or Chrome.

I have been in IT for about 30 years now and for many years now I have used firefox. I think it was earlier this year after a new version of firefox came out I have had constant problems on THREE computers. I use a windows 7 computer at work and up until a couple weeks ago I used a windows 8.1 computer at home. I recenly got a different computer and installed windows 10 at home. ALL three have the same problems constantly not responding lots of crashes.

the fact that it happens on three totally different computers with totally different components tells me it is not a hardware problem. the fact that three different OS'es are involved tell me its not the OS

the only clues/indications I get are that its a shockwave or flash problem.

are other people having this problem? the fact that it happens on a new windows 10 computer (fresh install not upgrade) tells me its not outdated flash/shockwave.

is there some serious flaw in Firefox or Adobe software ?

I am continually getting the problem that the "plugin is not responding" at first it was only once every few days, now it is almost every time I open firefox and it continues to happen after closing it down and restarting. I have gone through the answers to this problem on your site but it is still the same, please help I cannot get anything done on my laptop because this is now a constant problem.

I am running Windows 10, and have recently started experiencing trouble with Firefox. After trying a lot of other solutions from the support forums (including creating a new Firefox profile), I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from a fresh download. I experience the same trouble: very shortly after starting Firefox, I hear constant disk activity, and Firefox becomes unresponsive. My only choice at that point is to end the program using the red "X" (program close button). As soon as I do this the disk activity ends and the computer runs normally.

I cannot include troubleshooting information with this post because I can't keep Firefox running long enough.

The same performance issues happen with Firefox running in Safe mode. I had to resort to Microsoft Edge to post this question.

Any troubleshooting assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Several days ago, I started getting a message when Firefox hangs or freezes saying: firefox is not responding...close or wait for response. I have tried restarting computer and clearing cookies and cache. I am very inexperienced and do not know what to do. I have Windows 7 and the latest version of Firefox. My plugins are up to date; am little intimidated to restart in safe mode or reinstall Firefox. I read when refreshing that extensions and extension data is removed.....not sure what that means. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

I was having crashing issues with the update before the newest one, but since the new update I have MORE crashes. In fact it crashed while I wrote the first sentence and had to use the task manager to shutdown FF so I could restart. It seems the plugin container is to blame. I've updated flash and turned off the protected mode, but it doesn't help. I get these messages from windows:

A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.

I hope the above will help with this issues. Very frustrating!

While playing FarmVille 2 foxfire keeps hanging - says at top "not responding". I can load game and play for a few minutes but then hangs. Sometimes it hangs right after loading. Will not come back so I have to quit foxfire. I have been having the problem in last several weeks but yesterday it got really bad. I usually only had to restart foxfire once to get it to work. I have tried refreshing foxfire. Also disabling hardware acceleration. My plugins are up to date. My computer is only 1.5 years old and I have windows 10. I can play FV2 on Google Chrome and MSN edge but both are slow and jerky. I really prefer foxfire over the other ones.

Since last update starting FF takes 20min or more, often FF is "not responding", I get totally white or black starting pages, lots of "Unresponsive Script" messages, missing or misplaced buttons on pages, pages malformed, error messages of "Profile Missing", " Unresponsive Plugin", when FF is "not responding" it freezes and then closes so al my work is gone, NULLIFIED ! etc. . It's getting on my nerves, I'm sick of it !
