Mozilla Firefox freezes after 5 seconds

Post by Omar6489 »

Hello, i have the issue that my Mozilla Firefox freezes after short period on the already configured machine from the Prof.

I tried everything I know but it still freezes.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the oracle, it worked for a bit and then the same problem. As long as I don’t use Mozilla, the machine works fine.


I’d be glad to hear your advices.

Check to see if Firefox is trying to use hardware video acceleration. If so, turn that off.

If that doesn't help, Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the "vbox.log", not "vbox.log.1", etc.)
