Have changed from Firefox 10.0.2 (slow) to 3.6.27 (very fast)!

I have recently asked why 10.0.2 is so VERY slow. I have just now changed to 3.6.27. Works well and quite FAST - using same commands on both versions.
Something is very wrong with my earlier 10.0.2 installation, or with this software version.
I will continue with 3.6.27 until I hear that speed in 10.0.2 is verified.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) 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.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • After last update, many of my attachments have changed to "Firefox" HTML Document

    I Keep a "master file" on the desktop of genealogy data, and numerous graphics used in e-mails. It appears that about the
    time of the last update to Firefox, many of my graphics, and other information have changed from their original designations (e.g. jpeg,, etc.) to FIREFOX. I can open the files by changing to "open with windows viewer", however if I copy it, after opening, it will not paste into my e-mails. They will not even paste into Paint. What in the world could have occurred?? If it is opened without changing it from Firefox, it only shows gibberish. I attempted to add an image, however even when it has been copied to the desktop it will not show up so I can add it to this message. These items in the file show up as Firefox HTML Document.
    HAVE NEVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE SUCH AS THIS PREVIOUSLY IN THE MANY, MANY YEARS I'VE USED FIREFOX. The icon showing
    up is the FF icon on all of these, and not what was there originally. I have been struggling for quite some time attempting to determine what the problem is.
    ANY AND ALL RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED.

    cor-el: The extensions were originally jpg, gif, etc.
    I have been having problems with KEEPING Firefox as my default
    browser, and this is because I noted that it had changed and was
    suddenly NOT my default browser. This has been occurring on a continuous basis after one of the last FF updates. Just long enough, apparently to mess up my graphics, and other information which I have
    kept in my Master Folder. Very disheartening. This occurred every few days, so I continued to keep checking it each time I opened FF, changing it
    back to my default browser.
    Therefore I changed nothing, only noted that many times FF was showing as "not being my default" browser, although it appeared that was, and I do not use the IE although I do have it (for emergencies).
    This, apparently is an insurmountable problem, not of my making, and I do not know how to solve it. I will attempt to go to the link you have provided however I may not have time today.
    Thank you so very, very much for your recommendation, I will see what I can do.

  • Names in Members field under the UNIX Attributes Tab have changed from standard format (i.e. John Doe) to the actual account name (jdoe)

    Hello,
    Names in Members field under the UNIX Attributes Tab have changed from standard format (i.e. John Doe) to the actual account name (jdoe). The only time this happens is if a domain account is deleted and the remnant of the account remains and has to be removed
    manually. However all of the accounts, with the exception of any new ones recently added, now show the account name only. Any ideas on what caused this and how to fix it?
    Thanks :)

    Hi,
    I have not heard from you for some days, currently I am providing the related article for you. Hope this will help you on this matter.

  • Since I have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, I have not been able to start up Photoshop Elements 9! or Premiere Elements 9! The menu starts up allright, but the programs don't start when I press any buttons. How do I fix this problem?

    Since I have changed from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, I have not been able to start up Photoshop Elements 9! or Premiere Elements 9! The menu starts up alright, but the programs don't start when I press any buttons. How do I fix this problem?

    If Layers is greyed out it possibly means that you are in Quick Mode. Select 'Expert' and all the options should become available.
    Try permanently associating psd files with C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and see if that fixes the issue. Instructions here - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/choose-programs-windows-uses-default.

    I have changed from pc to mac and photoshop elements 2.0 disk does not install on mac

    Hi keltystu,
    You are doing 2 things wrong:
    1. you are trying to run EXE file(installer) on MAC
    2. You are trying to run a very old application on latest configuration which is not compatible and may not fulfill the appropriate requirement.
    Thanks

  • Since updating my default programs have changed from CC 64bit to CC 2014, is this a problem?

    I updated my Creative Cloud this week and my default Illustrator & photoshop seem to have changed from what I now realise is CC64bit to CC 2014. If I click to open a file it opens a version other than the one the file was created in and different from the one I have pinned. It doesn't seem to have created much of a problem (though some won't open) but I now realise I have 4 versions installed CC 64bit, CC, CC2014 and an older version CS5. Should I delete any?

    hi,
    this confused me a little bit in the beginning too. The splash screen of, for example, Illustrator CC 2014 doesn't mention 64-bit any more. But when I looked in help > about it says in brackets next to the version number that it's 64-bit, for example, "18.0.0 (64-bit)"
    Hope this helps

  • My Sony Cybershot has always connected directly to iPhoto, but I must have changed a setting somewhere, and now it opens in Finder. Very frustrating to have to locate and then drag pics to iPhoto. Would I reset in the camera menu or in System Preferences?

    My Sony Cybershot has always connected directly to iPhoto, but I must have changed a setting somewhere and now it opens in Finder. Very frustrating and I can't find where to change the settings - camera menu or Mac Preferences. Any advice?? Thanks

    No, not in iPhoto, but instead in Finder (only). I've tried going into the camera menu and making sure it's set on Mass Storage, but no difference. Then I tried Auto - but also no difference.

  • TCodes that have changed from 4.7 to ECC 6

    Hi,
    We are planning a upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6. Is there any readily available list of:
    1) Transaction Codes that have undergone a change from 4.7 to ECC 6?
    2) transactions that have become obsolete?
    Regards
    Peter

    Thanks Gautham for the prompt response.
    That means that I can only come to know of the changed TCodes after I upgrade and not before that? Or can I look at this table in any other company's ECC 6 system and get the data?
    Will company specific cutomisation have any bearing on the changes done by SAP to the std TCodes?
    Also does this table give the complete list of changed TCodes?  Also is there any table, FM etc which also gives what has been changed in these TCodes?

  • Do you want to allow changes from firefox software updater every time I attempt to connect to the internet

    Every time I attempt to connect to the internet I get a dialogue box that asks do you want to allow this programme to make changes? The publisher is Mozilla, and it also tells me that it relates to Firefox software updater. Never had this until about two hours ago! Also seemed to relate to a crash of McAffee, which happened at around the same time.. Don't know much about computers, but what I do know is that this has only just started... Help...???
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have the same problem is it spyware?

  • My cell references have changed from coordinates to header names in numbers

    When i opened a SS i have been using for quite some time to add new data, I noticed the cell references in some cells had changed. Originally all had been cell coordinates and now most, but not all, are using header names. I've tried re-entering the data, filling down from a cell that still shows coordinates. Nothing works to get them back to using coordinates. Any ideas on why this happened and how to change things back?    
    Message was edited by: annmerb    Reading another post I got a hint to check Numbers Preferences. I know I had never gone in and checked "Use header names as references" but it was selected. I deselected it and references went back to coordinates. Since Had never changed the Preferences I hadn't thought to check there. Sorry to bother!

    Ann,
    The default in the Blank Template is for Header Named cell references turned off. However, that may not be the case with all the other templates. Do you recall how this document began its life?
