Firefox... "Not Responding"

[Karl Hustler]

Hey peeps,

This may of been asked before but I didn't find it.
I really like the feel and the way Firefox works but I've one major issue, it hangs after a few pages of scrolling for a few long seconds with "Firefox is not responding" at the top.
I've searched for solutions, hit Firefox forums and tried everything I found... with zero luck
It's not just Firefox but all Firefox based browsers i.e. Pale moon, Icedragon that have this issue, no chromium based browser have this issue but I just like the feel of Firefox

Just thought I'd ask just in case anyone has a miracle cure for my poorly Firefox

I like Firefox as well. Excluding a nasty virus did you try resetting Firefox? I don't know how to do it but, the directions are online. Good Luck & let us know if you fixed it!

in case you want to reset FF, type about:support in the in the address bar

Check whether u have updated ur flash player and other plugins and if that doesnt work then synchronise and reset ur browser.

I only have a 32 bit system and Cyberfox is a x64 browser, thanks I did check the site out and it looks good

 

[WinXPert]

you haven't mentioned the addons/extentions you have with FF

Reset it, reinstalled it and an spent sometime getting rid of it's traces from the registry before reinstalling.
Looked for about:config options too with no luck.

I've tried it with only Lastpass installed as it's the only way I'd be able to get into most sites
I'm not sure Lastpass could be causing it, but I could be wrong.
Will have to change a few passwords to something dumbed down and see it it is Lastpass

They have 32bit also

AMD

Intel

Not sure if you have Intel or AMD, but most people have one of these.

 

[Karl Hustler]

Oh, I'll go check that out too

I would remove Lastpass... a little birdie told me it is not good at protecting your passwords anyway.Or disable laspass first & see what happens.

WoW thanks for the recommendation for Cyberfox, it's now my new browser!
I like how you have both the new UI with new and old options, it's still a little choppy but a vast improvement

Really
Any recommendations for a cross browser password manager? As I have many passwords and not the memory to remember a fraction of them
That would mean painstakingly manually moving the passwords over LOL

Sadly Cyberfox is prone to this issue with no addons, love the browser otherwise
I am not dead against using a chromium based browser as they support the extensions I use with out the issue, would the standard Google Chrome be recommended? I've heard rumours of it being a bit lax on privacy?
