Is there a registry booster and PC tuneup product like AVG or Uniblue that Firefox recommends for improved perfromance?
I am having performance related issues with my PC, including issues with Firefox locking up or freezing, and was wondering if there is a product you recommend for registry cleaning and other PC performance improvements. I am looking at Uniblue and AVG as well as some others.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

SambaHi Samba,
What're the versions of your Office Excel and SQL Server Analysis Services? It will be helpful if you can share the detail computer resource information to us while encountered this issue.
In addition, we don't know your cube structure and the underlying relationships. But you can take a look at the following articles to troubleshoot the performance issue:

I am disabled and need help with one to one service that I paid for
Hi there,
I brought my computer last year in Aug. I signed up for the one year of one -to - one service. Here is the issue, I'm disabled, and things didn't go according to plan. I am housebound. If I get out once a week, that's pretty much it, and usually, I have a lot of Dr apts and can't do both things in the same day, too much sitting up in awkward positions for my back to handle (with 7 herniated discs, crushed spinal cord, and 3 tumors in my spinal canal). So, from Aug to today, I have been out of the house a total of 30 times, all for Dr appointments.
I have yet to be able to use the one-to-one that I paid for. I talked to a manager and he was very nice and granted me an extra 30 days. Is there anything that I can do to get a bit more time to use it? Even if that is just till October, anything? I feel dumb for getting it, but, had no way to know my back would get worse...
Thanks
DanSorry if I chose the wrong place to put this item, but, I really wasn't sure where to post it. If the moderator would like to move it to a more appropriate spot, by all means.
Thanks again

After freezing the player's delay will be reset to 0. I can replicate this "crash" by just moving my mouse on the youtube progress bar and see the delay building up. This only happens when firefox is my main window.
hello, there are some reports by users that comodo products might not work well with the protected mode for firefox that adobe has introduced in its flash plugin since version 11.3.

please make sure that firefox.exe, plugin-container.exe and FlashPlayerPlugin_*.exe aren't blocked or sandboxed in any way by your security software or in case this doesn't work either try switching your AV provider (I'd recommend microsoft's security essentials, it is quite reliable and lightweight) or [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-doesnt-load-video-firefox#w_solution-2-downgrade-flash downgrade to flash version 10.3]. -
I got a message to update windows. I updated. My computer said firefox was not compatible with update. I then tried to purchase Avast and it basically crashed my computer. I had help in restoring and when system was checked it showed two different firefox downloads that had not succeeded because they were incompatible with my system. I don't know enough about computers to understand what happened. I have a Dell Studio xps with Windows 7. Thank you.
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

On only the very first visit to a website, Firefox _very briefly_ shows a "Do you want Firefox to remember this password?" dialog bar at top right of screen.
The first time that I used Firefox to access this particular, and very often visited site, I missed that dialog bar. It disappeared before I had a chance to mark any one of the three boxes and now, I must enter my log-in information anew at every log-on to that site.
There _must_ be a way to get Firefox to give me a second chance for entering this info, but I cannot find how.
Can someone please help?After first closing the site's browser window, I cleared the cookies with no problem.
Next, I opened up the page that is causing my problem. The Microsoft Security window opened up as it should and it was blank.
The option of whether I was using a public or a private
computer was blinking on 'public' as it should and I changed that to 'private'.
The lines for 'Domain/Username' and 'Password" were blank, as they should be at this time.
I entered whatever I had to on these two lines, then clicked on "log In". At no time, however, did the Firefox toolbar at top of screen (picture file attached) appear and ask whether to remember that password. Yes, the page now opened - and we are back to Square One.
I am aware that when entering the URL in the address box, a dropdown box opens and contains quite a few URLs identical to the one I am entering just now, or at least connected to pages of the same site.
I am wondering whether that is what's messing me up? But how can I clear these entries of "websites visited in the past from Firefox's memory?

I've just had my yahoo mail on my ipad hacked. It seems to have used all my contact on iPad to and from. Is there any virus software for iPad I can use. I've changed my password for my yahoo account last night already, but it seems emails are still going out. I've just been notified emails are still going out this morning
Your iPad doesn't have a virus.
Perhaps those mails were ones that were queued and just went out? Or maybe they rehacked your account?
mine was hacked a couple of weeks ago and they just mailed and ran.
You might want to change your password again.
it's also possible that your address is just being spoofed. -
During the ios 7.0.4 update, my IPad 2 froze. The picture on the screen is an iTunes icon, and arrow inder that and a picture of the apple usb cord. It will not go away. I have tried hard and soft turn offs. Please help!
Philly:
When there is an iOS update available, iTunes asks if you want to install it. I chose to only download the iOS 7.0.6 update, but not to install it until I had done a backup of everything on my iPad. When that iOS 7.0.6 update failed, I had NO iOS at all, just a bricked iPad.
When my son did a "clean restore" that was the same thing you'd do to wipe an iPad - just install iOS 7.0.6 and install basic iPad apps. When you turn the iPad on after that, it indicates it wants to be connected to iTunes. At that point, my son yanked the cord so nothing else was installed. Then, with iOS 7.0.6 already installed, iTunes on my PC didn't say it wanted to update iOS, and allowed me to choose my previous backup to be restored. All was straightforward after that.
Again, there are places on he web where you can download various versions of iOS, along with a PC utility that will do the iOS update. I think these utilities are for when you want to hack your device, so I'm not crazy about this approach. -
Has this happen to anyone before? Will I be able to get my music, or money back?
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, then redownload it:
