Firefox is slowing down. More I am using Firefox then more I have to wait for reaction(open tab, klick on button etc.)

For more that one year everything was ok with Firefox. Even after upgrades of my PC everything was just fine. About 2 months ago when I opened Firefox I noticed that he is slowing down(not PC only browser). More time I spend on Firefox longer takes everything-from tab opening, button klicks, closing tabs etc. It looks like it freeze for period of second or longer and come back to normal for few seconds. I was trying to ckeck that on many any only one opened tab. But result was same. I deinstalled Firefox, deleted related folders and installed him one more time with updates and with updated Adobe Flash but without changes. Still crap. Please HELP!!!

The proper way to close Firefox is through the File menu "Exit" or the equivalent with the Firefox button.

Firefox already running, to properly shutdown Firefox when closing the last window use File → Exit/Quit (or Firefox button → Exit). Closing Firefox with the [X] in the upper right corner closes the window ("Ctrl+W") but that does not necessarily close Firefox if it has subtasks running. If you want to close and reopen Firefox use the "Restart" within Add-ons if you made a change requiring a restart, or install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/restartless-restart/ Restartless Restart]" ("Ctrl+Alt+R") which will allow you to take Firefox down and restart without having to check the Windows Task Manager to see if Firefox first actually ended.

  • Uploeaded the latest FF version and very happy with it. When I restart my comp because of other problems..... games and video get slow again. This is the 3rd time and I have to wait for a new update to fix it. What di I do?

    Hi, I have a Mac running 10.4.11. I recently updated my FF and noticed my games ran faster and videos worked better. I had some problems accessing the net today and had to restart my computer. Suddenly my games all went into super slow mode. This is the third time this has happened. It appears that my restart (my computer) does something to override whatever has made my computer faster and better. What can I do, except wait for the next update? I have tried reinstalling it, but no, it doesn't work.

    Well now FF just closes on many applications. Is there a Mac & FF compatibility problem?

  • Flash causes Firefox to slow down and even freeze (and on a gaming laptop, too). How to fix this?

    Every time I use the Flash plug-in (for videos on YouTube or PutLocker or whatever), FireFox just slows down a lot and even freezes. It happens very often now and it's really annoying.
    By the way, I am using a gaming laptop so I am not sure why I am having these problems. My Flash plug-in and firefox are updated to the latest versions, too.
    My specs:
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Intel i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHZ (8 CPUs)
    nVidia GTX 560m 3GB vRAM dedicated
    16GB RAM

    Okay, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it. That helped only for about ten minutes and it started doing it again.
    I don't know what else to do. :S

    how do i not have my photoshop linked to my macintosh hard drive because it slows down the program by using my hard drive space

    Which version of mac os x and photoshop are you using?
    How much free space is on your hard drive?
    How much ram do you have?
    Photoshop needs to use your hard drive for scratch space.
    If you have more than one hard drive (not partition), you can assign photoshop's scratch disk to another hard drive.

    when I try to go back a page on a spicific site, it won't allow it on firefox, I can on IE but seldom use it, why? I have made numerous changes to security and other settings but to no end. I can screen capture the event and send it to anyone, to see what is wrong. the capture says that the page expired and is no longer available and to resend it. however that happens immediately in time when trying to back up.

    Can you attach a screenshot?

    My machine has gone dead slow. I have to wait for minutes to perform every single function. Like it stopped typing four times during this question.

    If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the boot drive, or some other hardware component, is failing. Back up all data immediately, then run the Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics.
    Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

  • I have noticed while using pen tool that I have to wait before the small square appears.

    I have noticed while using pen tool that I have to wait before the small square appears. Tenth of a second, but this is disturbing on a daily basis. Is there any solution?

    It seems that in your version of InDesign, the image preview is grayed out while you are editing the picture frame with the pen tool. Not the case with my version of CS5 for macintosh.
    But I think this is a bad way to work. If you want the path only to affect text wrap, then edit the text wrap path. This is more versatile than editing the frame because you can have text appear over part of the image visible below text. This of a bird in flight in a light sky. The text wrap can surround the bird so text can appear in the sky. Your method does not permit this.
    If you are editing the frame’s path because you also want to crop the image, then you’d be better off doing that in Photoshop by adding either a clipping path in the Paths panel or a mask in the Layers panel. If it’s an Illustrator file then add a clipping mask.
    I find InDesign’s pen tool and general path editing to be significantly inferior to Illustrator’s. If I need to have an editable path in InDesign that I would draw much more easily in Illustrator, then I do that and copy the path back. It comes in as a simple unassigned frame, which I can then convert to a picture frame or a text frame and copy/paste the contents into the new frame. That may suit you if the above suggestions are inappropriate.

    You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it.  It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

    Most likely a hardware failure, & if so, you won't be able to restore/activte your phone. If you've tried at least two times, & are still getting this error, make an appointment at any Apple store, or call AppleCare.
