Home user. Desktop running current Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit with all Windows Updates applied. FF 30 has been running OK. I set a few plugins to activate automatically. Then I clicked to check if plugin updates were needed. The check does not complete. It displays the little spinning icon and it just spins forever. Re-cycled FF but that did not help. What to do?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.
