Valentine Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Ever since I downloaded this version 3 days ago everything keeps locking up for a few seconds, even as I am typing this. Go to another browser & no problem. Anyone else with a similar experience or a solution. I suppose I could delete this version & install an earlier one but worry I will lose all my bookmarks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I had a similar problem on one PC with the new Chrome. One tip suggested disabling GPU acceleration which fixed it. Perhaps something similar is at work here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytebuster Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 It also may happened that your Firefox profile is corrupted. Run: firefox.exe -p Then make a new profile (it will also have no plugins which is an advantage here) and run Firefox with it to check if it works fine. Profile selection is sticky, so to return to the original profile, run firefox.exe -p again. Also consider asking the question at a more specific community like superuser or mozilla.org.

Torrens54 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Thanks for the info, I've been having a problem with Firefox too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loeuftok Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Got the same problem. easy to fix: from the firefox tab on the top left select "help" then "troubleshouting information" in the newly opened tab click on "reset firefox" on the top right of the screen. And voila. bookmarks, history and so on are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnydrops Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I also have that problem. Also I get the PDF message about using another reader at the top of the screen, when there is no PDF file. I click use another reader and it goes away, There is no PDF file. I had this last problem with the last version also. I disabled the firefox PDF reader and of course the problem went away. But I liked the reader when it worked since it was faster than opening another reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
