in this video I'm going to show you how
0:02
you can solve not responding on Firefox
0:05
browser sometimes back my Google Chrome
0:07
browser will hang and I'll constantly
0:09
get Firefox is not responding message on
0:12
my browser so let me show you how I
0:15
fixed this problem and now I don't
0:17
receive such an error or a problem so to
0:20
get started go and open your Firefox
0:22
browser as you can see my Firefox
0:24
browser is opened there are quite a
0:26
number of steps that you can take to
0:28
solve this problem now let me begin with
0:30
the first one now to get started you can
0:32
go ahead and tap on these three lines
0:35
and from here tap on settings now under
0:38
settings scroll down and look for
0:41
performance so if I scroll down you can
0:43
see performance is here so under
0:46
performance you can see the browser is
0:48
set to use recommended performance
0:50
setting and these are specifically
0:52
tailored to your computer or to your
0:54
hardware and operating system so you
0:57
want to go ahead and and click on this
0:59
and then we have also this check to use
1:02
hardware acceleration when available go
1:05
ahead and and tick on this so that it
1:08
does not follow this protocol to
1:10
determine how this browser performs on
1:12
your computer now from here go ahead and
1:15
exit by tapping on the three lines and
1:17
then tap on exit here and you'll be done
1:21
now go ahead and open your browser again
1:24
and see if the problem has been fixed
1:27
now if this did not fix your problem
1:28
then you might want to take the next
1:30
step and again here go to these three
1:32
dots and look for the help option which
1:35
is here tap on it and look for more
1:38
troubleshooting information option which
1:40
is this go ahead and tap on it this will
1:43
open application basics page on your
1:45
browser now scroll down and under this
1:49
look for the option called profile
1:51
folder and here it
1:53
is then go ahead and tap on open folder
1:57
and here you'll see a number of files
1:59
that are associated with your browser
2:01
now scroll down and then tap on this
2:04
file called
2:06
places.squlite now you want to go ahead
2:08
and right click on it and then rename so
2:11
go ahead and add an extension on this
2:13
file by tapping old so this will go
2:17
ahead and clear these files on your
2:20
browser and this will try and solve the
2:22
problem that you might be experiencing
2:24
with your browser not responding so if
2:26
you click
2:27
outside you'll get this dialog box and
2:30
here you are told if you change a file
2:32
name extension the file might become
2:35
unstable so go ahead and proceed by
2:38
typing on yes and here I'm told this
2:40
action can't be completed because the
2:42
file is open in Firefox so I'll go ahead
2:45
and close
2:47
it and here it is i'll close it and then
2:50
go ahead and try and here it is done so
2:54
we are done we have renamed this
2:56
successfully and now from here go ahead
2:58
and open your Firefox browser and now
3:01
try searching anything at this point
3:04
everything should have been solved and
3:05
the problem Firefox is not responding
3:08
will stop recurring now by following
3:10
these two steps everything now should be
3:12
okay with your Firefox browser and
3:14
should now experience this problem
3:17
however should you find that the problem
3:18
is still persisting then it means the
3:21
problem is emanating elsewhere and it is
3:23
not on the Firefox browser and most
3:25
likely it is because of the hardware
3:27
problem and this is in regards to RAM on
3:30
your computer so sometimes Firefox tend
3:32
to use much resources and sometimes if
3:35
you have less RAM on your computer you
3:37
might just need to go ahead and upgrade
3:39
your computer RAM to a higher level it
3:41
is recommended that you have a RAM of
3:43
around 8 GB and above on your computer
3:46
and I found that this works well with
3:48
most Firefox browsers so if you have
3:50
less RAM on your computer you can go
3:53
ahead and increase your RAM and then you
3:55
should be able to run Firefox browser on
3:58
your computer smoothly without any
4:00
problem so if you able to solve your
4:02
problem by following any of these let me
