Keep getting a "not responding" message. It's getting worse by the day. Nothing seems to work, including resetting.

I've been getting this message for weeks now. And this is the 3rd time I've asked for help with this and nothing is working. I'm thinking about jumping ship back to Internet Explorer. Can't believe I'm saying this since I've been with you guys for years now. Can anyone PLEASE help? Keep getting this damn "not responding" message.

Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

  • Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0
  • Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
  • Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.

  • (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
  • (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

Did you check your firewall? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

The firewall itself is on and running as normal. I hope I don't have to re-configure this or anything. Hate to admit it but anything like that is not my strong-point.

Getting rid of the multiple flash plugins seems to work. Haven't tried to disable the hardware acceleration in Firefox yet, but I will. Thank you so much.
