Firefox menus (right click, bookmark, etc) load REALLY slow

System Info:
Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit.
Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.53 GHZ
6 gig memory
Intel SSD 320 series
Progressively for the past few years, FireFox has gotten slower and slower for me. Not actually the browsing, but the menus. It now takes ~3 seconds to load up the right click menu, or the "FireFox" menu at the top left, or book marks.
History, Cache, Cookies have all been deleted. All extensions and plugins disabled. If I disable all start up home pages.
It still does responds the same
When I reinstalled Windows ~2 months ago when I got the SSD drive (it was a clean install) the behavior is there immediately upon installing.
This is driving me more and more crazy and I am about ready to give up on FireFox!
Anybody know what is going on and how to fix it?

Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Images load really slow after using Reduce File Size...

After using the "Reduce File Size..." feature in Acrobat 9 on Windows Vista, some of the images load really slow as I page through the document. Is there some kind of compression setting that I should look for to prevent the images from be affected by this?
For some of my documents it will take 30 to 60 seconds to load an image. Sometimes I can't do anything with the document until the graphic loads entirely.

Can you post an example of a file that has this issue? Personally, I recommend using the PDF optimizer, it gives better control of the final pdf file.

Why is it YouTube loads really slow sometimes even when I'm connected to wifi ?

Why is it YouTube loads really slow sometimes even when I'm connected to wifi ?

Hard to say. The speed of your Internet connection. Congestion on YouTube's servers, problems at any point in between you and them... When you are connected to WiFi, you will get a substantially higher resolution version of some videos than you do on 3G.
Are you using the youtube app or are you just accessing it via a web browser.

Ever since upgrading to Firefox 4, my webpages load much much slower. How can I go back to the previous version of Firefox and keep my bookmarks, etc.?

I don't have any details. The Question explains it all. We just upgraded from 1.5 Mbps to 18 Mbps download speed and webpages opened really quick until I downloaded and installed Firefox 4. I have Internet Explorer 9, but I do not use it. I would just like to go back to the most current previous version of Firefox and keep my settings and bookmarks to see if webpages still load as slow as they are loading now. If so, then it's not the browser and I'll have to troubleshoot.

You can download Firefox 3.6 from this page:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
However, I'm not sure of the best procedure for removing Firefox 4. You might want to search these forums a bit for advice so you don't lose Bookmarks and other settings.

Can't see context menus (right click, or "Firefox button" menu)

Recently my Firefox hasn't been letting me see right click menus. It only happens in Firefox, and will still let me use keyboard shortcuts (such as pressing 'T' after right clicking on a link to open it on a new tab). I thought maybe it was one of my add-ons, so I re-installed Firefox 8 (had Firefox 9 before).
I hadn't installed any programs before this had started happening, it just started.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Current Firefox versions have support for HiDPI displays.
You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref to 1.0 or 1.25 (on Windows 8 the default DPI is 125%) on the about:config page (current default value is -1.0).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
If necessary, adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting with 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.0 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

When I upgrade to Firefox 4, are my bookmarks, etc, transfered from Firefox 3?

Hello.
I would like to upgrade to Firefox 4.
Will ALL my information, bookmarks, etc be transferred from Firefox 3.6.17 to Firefox 4?
Thank you for your help.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Firefox 13 Right Click Search - Stay On Page After Searching Like Previous Versions

Hi,
When I highlight and right click a word on a page then click "Search Google for" the result opens in a new tab - as expected. But in firefox 13 it immediately switches to the new google search tab created.
In previous firefox versions it would stay on the current page and leave the new google search tab in the background ready to be opened when I'm ready.
I would like to know how to change this feature in v13 back to the way it was in previous versions, as described above.
Thanks.

Wow that was quick, solution worked perfectly too!
Thanks for your help, madperson.

Ever since I installed the most recent Firefox, might right clicker on my mouse does not work. How can I fix this?

When I log into Microsoft Outlook Web Access. I've always been able to use the right clicker on my mouse. Since I installed the new Firefox, I have not been able to use my right clicker. Any suggestions? Thanks.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed the new Firefox

Please can you be more specific as to what the issue is, when does it occur? Any error messages? every bit of information would help.

Why I can't copy my address url with my right click. It's really strange.

Since my installation I can't copy my address url with my right click or in whatever manner. I have tried with every site I have visited but the url is not copied.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== since my installation

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

CEF loads really slow

So, just recently my computer started to load everyting in CEF relly really slow. It does load but it takes forever. What could be the cause and what can I do about ti?

Sites that load fine -
http://DStall.com
http://LiturgicalDesign.biz
Site that takes extremely long time to load -
http://LifeGivingSpring.info
All sites use same hosting provider, but are hosted on 1 account,
by way of folders (similar to subdomains, but they are standalone sites with their own domains)
But I'm talking about the sites loading in the File Viewer on my computer,
and not the remote server connections for the sites.

Site loads really slow in File Window

Dreamweaver 8 on Mac OSX4.11 stopped loading my site instantaneously in the File Window.
All other sites load fine, but 2 sites load extremely slow; both are Wordpress sites with lots of files.
I deleted 1 of the 2 sites and recreated it, but it still loads slow.
When I try to switch to it in the File Viewer, I get the spinning color disc for quite a while
What can I do to get sites to load instantaneously again?

FIrefox hangs up when opening myyahoo and other websites. I have no hang up when I open sites in Explorer. Can I delete and reload Firefox without losing my bookmarks, etc.?

When I say it hangs up I mean that the pages open almost 100% but the green loading bars at the bottom of the page hang up at the last two green bars for 5 to 10 seconds or more before the page is 100% loaded. This occurs with all sites I open with Firefox. I have no delay at all when opening these same pages with Explorer.

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.
