My ubuntu 10.04 hangs often when I watch flv videos on firefox. The whole thing just suddenly freezes, with no mouse/keyboard response, no background sound playback, no nothing.
It did so a few times in 9.10, but the upgrade seems to have made it more frequently than before.
My computer is a Acer Aspire One, with N270 core, Intel 945GME and 2GB mem.
i use ubuntu 9.10 64 bit, completely updated. my browser is firefox 3.5.8
mozilla/5.0 (x11; u; linux x86_64; en-us; rv:1.9.1. gecko/20100214 ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) firefox/3.5.8 gtb7.0
i am unable to open pop-up windows linked with java. also the flv videos on videos are often un-responsive or requires several clicks to play.
i have a suspicion this is related to google toolbar or maybe chrome extreme firefox skin?
note: i have reinstalled ubuntu several times and tried both 32-bit and 64-bit, as well as the new 10.04, beta2.
I have a problem with Adobe Flashplayer 10. It seems to be incompatible with a countdown timer on a specific site. I use firefox and when I open the site firefox freezes , hangs for a while and then I get an Adobe flashplayer 10 error stating the script encountered a problem. This is how and know the problem is the adobe flash and I know it is with that countdown timer as it only started when that was added to the site. Obviously it is a compatibility problem as it doesn't hapen on my Windows pc.
My question is two parts: a. Is there another flash player I can try with Firefox and b. If yes How do I uninstall the Adobe Flashplayer and install the other one.
Ubuntu 10.04.1 64 bit with all latest automatic updates , browser is Firefox.

I've tested it on Linux (Ubuntu and Debian) and it works perfectly on Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5 on those two distributions. On Mac however, it hangs on both Firefox 3 and Safari. I have also tested it on Windows using Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3. why it hangs on Mac?
I am using ubuntu karmic koala and i have firefox web browser. Whenever I try to upload files in some file hosting sites, my firefox web browser hangs. I think the file hosting site is using some kind of uploader that requires java/javascript.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEver since I preupgraded to Fedora 12 Firefox has been behaving annoyingly under certain circumstances. I guess the issue is not specific to Firefox, but just that it is the most obvious example. What happens is that whenever there is another program/process in the background using CPU heavily (burning a DVD, for instance) or doing heavy disk I/O (say, Filelight scanning the root folder) Firefox hangs for a few seconds about twice every minute. If I open System Activity during such hangs the Firefox process will report "disk sleep", as if it was paused by some process management mechanism which is prioritizing the background task. Since I never observed such behaviour under similar circumstances under F11, F10 or F8 I wonder if there could be any OS setting which was changed and triggered this change of behavior. I should mention the computer has a dual-core processor.
View 1 Replies View Relatedeverything else seems well with my FC13-x86-64 except firefox (3.6.4 and earlier versions too) VERY frequently hangs the whole system. only the mouse still working, keyboard not responding to ctrl-alt-del, ctrl-alt-function or any other key and even num-lock won't turn the led on. system is still remotely accessible through ssh so I can issue a reboot. same thing may have occurred with thunderbird but only once or twice and probably firefox was also running then. no problems so far with google chrome (but I have no flash plugin for that). FC5-x86-32 on my old PC has never had any of these problems.

In F14, I had no problems watching flash movies.
After the upgrade, this fails. I have been through [URL] but still no luck.
Yes, I have ndiswrapper installed. Flash is the 32 bit version (64 bit version is still a bit scary to me, it being beta with known bugs). I can see the plugin in firefox. I have NO gnash installed.
Hi,
i have opensuse 11.3 and i am using gnome.
occasionally my firefox hangs. this is sometimes without any reason i see.
the only times i can nearly reproduce this, is when i directly open a PDF with evince. in this case a dialog-window opens, asking whether to download or open using evince. if i choose opening directly with evince, evince opens normally. however, then i am unable to close the dialog window of firefox witch makes firefox unuseable.
when firefox freezes like this, it has a child process called "pxgconf" open (seen in gnome-system-monitor). if i kill this pxgconf, firefox is usable again.
pxgconf seems to be in /usr/lib/libproxy and thus part of libproxy1-config-gnome-0.4.3-1.3.x86_64 package (i've validated all packages using rpm):
Code:
$ rpm -qa | grep libproxy
python-libproxy-0.4.3-1.5.noarch
libproxy1-networkmanager-0.4.3-1.3.x86_64
libproxy1-0.4.3-1.5.x86_64

libproxy1-networkmanager-32bit-0.4.3-1.3.x86_64
libproxy1-32bit-0.4.3-1.5.x86_64
(i don't know how to show package info with rpm, but the package-manager reports they all all from openSUSE-11.3-Oss)

i'm running firefox in thru strace now and directing all output to files, so next freeze hopefully there will be something valuable in there.
any other suggestions?
ps: i've already tested this with a new firefox profile, same result.
Just upgraded from FC11 to 13 a few days ago and came across a wierd problem with firefox. When downloading files thru firefox, Firefox starts consuming more and more memory/cpu cycles until the system hangs. This only happens when downloading thru firefox. Doesnt take too long either. Otherwise everything else works fine.

I'm having a few problems with flash objects in Firefox. When I load a page with flash - ..... for example - the flash object is just a grey box and firefox hangs for 30 seconds or so. When firefox finally responds again all that's left of the flash object is a black box. Does anybody know what the problem is? And even better - what I can do to fix it!
For background info - flash was working fine in F12 before I updated to F13. Used the install DVD for F13 to perform the update. I'm running F13 64bit with KDE, Firefox is showing Shockwave Flash in the addons list. Originally installed the flash plugin using the instructions from mjm wired:
Code:
[mirandam@charon Download]$ sudo yum install nspluginwrapper.{i686,x86_64} alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686
[mirandam@charon Download]$ sudo yum install flash-plugin I've tried removing those packages and reinstalling but no luck.
12.2 is up to date and am running the Firefox from Slackbuilds. There was an update to FF a few months ago. Since then FF "hangs" when I close it out. It does seem to shut down better from the home page instead of whatever site I happen to be on at the time of shutting down. I do have a few addons to FF but they were there before the update with no issues. The addons are Gmarks [disabled], Rankchecker, Scribefire, SEO for FF [disabled], SEO Toolbar, Weatherbug and Web Developer. I haven't done any "fixes" so I'm fairly certain I didn't create my own problem.

My PC is x64 compatible, although ubuntu will not install.
I don't get to any gui, it says ubuntu will continue install in 5 seconds, at 0, nothing happens. The CPU light is flashing, but nothing happens.
After about 10 minutes, it reboots, but when the HP splash screen shows (Before the boot selection screen) it just hangs. I have to do a hard shutdown to boot back up.
I am using wubi for install.

How do i roll back firefox5beta to firefox4 and keep updating to the latest stable releases w/out upgrading to beta? The only extension that isn't working is FEBE which is incompatible w/ firefox5beta (profile, extension and preference backup). Have to use FEBE beta7 under Firefox4 so I don't think a compatible release for Firefox5beta is going to come out any time soon.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded (via Ubuntuzilla) to firefox 3.5.7 and now, every single time I close Firefox, the program seems to crash without quitting completely.
First, I receive an error saying that the program will not close and asks me if I want to Force Quite or Wait for it to close on its own. This has been happening ever since I upgraded to Karmic and if I just wait it usually quits fully after a couple seconds.
Now what happens is this: the window still closes, but if I try to reopen Firefox then I get this error stating that Firefox is already open and therefore cannot be opened again. The only way to get back into Firefox is to restart the entire computer. (Incidentally, this is the same problem that occurs whenever I try to Force Quit Firefox)
This now happens every single time I "close" Firefox.
Does anyone know the source of this error? Or a workaround?
How do I force Firefox to recognize a certain default firefox profile I have?
For whatever reason I can't get FF to show all of the add-ons I have. Yes, they are installed and they appear when as icons when I first boot up but after I close FF and start it again there are no icons (like Adblock).
Im using firefox version 3.6.12 and it functions fine. However when i use the latest version of this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...11377/#reviews the screen goes grey and firefox crashes. Restarting firefox only results in more crashes. I had a older version of this addon-1.5 i believe that worked fine.

Flash works under my admin id but not under normal user id. Reinstalling Flash didn't help. Want to revert to Firefox 2 that came with Ubuntu 8.04 so Flash will work again.
