Have used Firefox for years and upgraded to 3.6.13 from .11 but typing speed in both versions is very slow causing long delays

Windows Task Manager shows CPU usage spiking periodically from 1-2% to 100% and the PF Usage is up too.

I can comment that the only routine I had to block in the latest version, was plugin-container.exe.
It seem to isolate other plugins, but its connected to the internet and makes a backdoor that my firewall didnt understand.
the isolation must be ment to protect the browser from crashing plugins like Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime and more, but in fact I never experienced a crash in them.
Sålunda, I made a small program that blocks plugin-container.exe from starting.
The backdoor once started a heavy activity, 80% of my total cpu-power (wich is very much for a quadruple of potential cpu) and I noticed it exactly that way -typing got slower.
Who wants such backdoors?
Suddenly Microsoft crawels in to it :)

  • I have used firefox for years and just upgraded to the latest. Since then I have been receiving an error: uninstal set. Firefox will not work until this is resolved.

    what do I have to do to remedy this. I have Windows xp.

    hello adeseilie, this seems to be caused by this Speedbit Video Accelerator software that you've recently installed (a quick search on google brings up quite a few reports with similar issues). please remove the software in the windows control panel/programs section...

  • When I click on the Firefox icon, my homepage opens to about 95% and then it stops reponding. If I click on anything, I get the message that it is "not responding:. I have used Firefox for years with no problems. What can I do?

    I have used Firefox for years and it has been great until a few days ago. Now when I try to open it, the homepage from a few days ago opens, but the green bar on the lower right fills in about 95%. On the lower left it says "transferring data from l1.yimg.com but it freezes there. If I click on anything, it says (not responding) on the upper left. I have uninstalled Firefox twice and redownloaded it and the exact same thing happens. Please help me. Thank you, Dave Schumer

  • I have used Firefox for years on my Mac laptop for years, I tried to update to version 4 and now I have no Firefox and every time I download the the Firefox the emblem has a awhite circle with a cross through it, so I can't drag it to applications.

    The support page is ridiculous, it assumes you already have Firefox and that the install went fine. I am having trouble with an update to Version 4. I have an ibook G4 running OS X. I have used Firefox for years. When I downloaded the update, the Firefox logo thing that you are supposed to drag to the Applications folder has a white circle with a line through it. I have rebooted many times and have updated all other software.

    Hello,
    I wouldn't trust any Firefox "update" from a non-Mozilla website. Sometimes, unofficial builds contain adware or malware. If you want to use Firefox for AOL do so at your own risk.

  • I've used Firefox for years, and now can's open it--why?

    I have used Firefox for years. Now suddenly I am being blocked from getting onto it. I downloaded the new Firefox 4, but still am blocked! It's as if I'm not authorized to get onto Firefox.

    I can't undertsand what is going on since the closing has never occurred before.
    I have not written down the incident #s.

    The offer from EE was presumably to fix the phone , which they are entitled to do, you turned it down.
    You can either go back to them and take up their offer to repair or you can try the Nokia warranty which will involve you contacting Nokia direct either by taking it to an authorised/approved Nokia care centre or submitting an online claim under the warranty to Nokia and following whatever instructions they issue for sending the phone to them.
    You have not so far contacted Nokia as you have dealt only with EE.
    I'm surprised the EE assistant told you the phone was being sent to Nokia rather than their inhouse technicians although I think that was simply a mistake on the assistant's part.
    How did you get a PAYG phone from EE? I thought EE were offering contracts only.
    So far as time scales EE don't post phones backwards and forwards on an individual basis. The shops use courier services and the frequency of deliveries and collections will depend on the number of shops in a town and the level of goods going back and forth.

  • Several sites will not respond any longer when I type or click on them. I have been using Firefox for years and all of a sudden, nothing.

    I have been using Firefox for many years now and have been going to several sites on Firefox. Now, after an update around two days ago, I can't do anything with the sites. The cursor stays an arrow, and doesn't click anything. It's like a blank page with print on it.
    I've tried almost everything, but to no avail. It's too much to copy and paste below.
    Any ideas or help would be very much appreciated.
    Also, http://tesnexus.com is another site, plus a few others, besides google.com.

    Hi Papajack55,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I've been using firefox for years, and i'm very upset with the 34.0.5 update's changes to the search engine feature.

    hi,
    this new search engine is incredibly convoluted, and i put some real thought into why it's bad
    the dropdown menu contains more things than it used to. previously only a list with icons and titles and a link to options...now only icons (with no options to include text), a reiteration of your terms and current engine, separators between each icon, and loads of potential results from auto-complete (which i disabled immediately). though taking up less space by forcing icons only, more things were added, giving the user more clutter in less space.
    having a permanent default search engine is counterproductive to the feature's previous nature. this was supposed to be there so i can quickly change between websites i'm searching, now it's been equated to the search feature in the address bar (which i am now also unable to change the function of on the fly, as changing the search engine used would also change the address bar's search function - perhaps influenced this change?). it's now faster for me to type the website i want followed by my terms into the address bar, just like when i use chrome. this feature was one of the largest reasons why i preferred firefox over chrome
    i would commonly leave my search engine on merriam-webster when writing papers, wikipedia when doing research, etc. and now i have to click which one i want. every time. with every search that isnt default, unless i change my default through the options constantly. this is incredibly tedious. most irritating of all is the inability to use hotkeys to select my search engine, the lack of ctrl+up/down. previously i wouldnt have to use my mouse often at all, which is imperative for laptop users
    so yeah, ive put some real thought into this, and i'm very unhappy. this greatly hinders my browsing experience. heard the saying "if its not broken, dont fix it"? ive been using chrome in conjunction with firefox for a few years now, and it's been painful to see mozilla attempt to imitate it. i will be using chrome more often in the absence of this feature (i am right now, even). i'm also upset that i was unable to find a public message boards hosted by mozilla to voice my opinion, and i apologize to whoever customer support employee that (probably didnt) read this - please pass it on to the devs and tell them internet people are angry and said they fucked up. thanks.
    and i beg you, please give us the option to revert back to the old interface in future updates, or at least an official extension overriding this awful update. i realize i cant request this really, and yes im upset, yes im sending an angry email - thats because this is something i use often and i am passionate about it
    sincerely,
    pissed

    You can use the Tab key to select a search engine on the bottom bar and press Enter to use the search engine to do the search.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Search+bar
    In the current Firefox 34 release there is a new "one-off" search bar.
    This search bar doesn't show the name of the search engine and a logo.
    You can type one letter to make a drop-down list appear where you can see suggestions and see the used search engine and that also has bar at the bottom where you can select other search engines that are enabled via the Search tab in Options/Preferences.
    You can use the Tab key to select one of the other available search engines and press the Enter key to search with the selected search engine.
    Click the search engine icon and click "Change Search Settings" to open the Search tab in Options/Preferences (positioned between Tabs and Content) to select the default search engine and select which search engines to show in the search bar drop-down list that opens when you start typing search terms.

  • I have used firefox for years. I watched the Getting Started tutorial. I need help in identifying the "Firefox button"

    If some of the features on the tutorial are not new, I didn't know about them and have never used them. The video moved along very quickly. I found it difficult to keep up. I couldn't find the "Firefox button" referred to in the instructions. It seems there a lot of great features available that I would like to use. I don't like Safari or IE. I much prefer Firefox, but I need clearer guidance. Thank you for any help you might offer.

    You have no Firefox Menu button on a Mac.<br />
    The Firefox button is only available on Windows and Linux and shows when the Menu bar is hidden.<br />
    On Mac the menu bar is maintained by the Mac OS and not by Firefox and the Menu bar is always visible and can't be hidden, so there is no need for such a menu button.<br />
