Gmail doesn't work in Firefox and it constantly freezes up.

I have been getting the type error can't access dead object since version 14.01. Since upgrading I have had nothing but problems with Firefox. # times i have reverted back to 14.01 to get it to work with some semblance of consistency. I upgrade every time a new version become available but the problem doesn't go away.

I finally tracked the problem to Gmail. I only get the error when I try to open Gmail. Also Firefox is running like a pig since 14.01.

Constantly freezing up, getting the not responding message. Sometimes I just can't move my mouse for a minute or so.

Are you using the Ghostery extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I have done the safe mode thing to no avail.

I will try the other stuff.

Ever since i moved from 14.01 through the various versions to 18, I have had problems with Firefox. It is very slow and lots of time I get a Not Responding message.

I notice this error only happens when i access Gmail. I also notice that when I am in Google images, my Firefox really slows down and it also crashes a lot as the page of google images tries to load.

It seems all my Firefox problems have a tie in with Google.
