Since FF4, FF has been slow on start-up or doesn't at all.

This started since I upgraded to FF4. Last night I closed firefox to try something. I got on this morning, clicked the icon in my tray and it wouldn't load. Literally 5-10 minutes and it didn't open. I clicked again and it said it was already running. I end the process then click again and it opens in like 10-30 seconds with none of my tabs restored. I then tried shutting my laptop down then starting it back up. After leaving it alone for a couple minutes, I clicked the icon again and same thing, wouldn't open. What is causing this?

This is the forum for Intel based iMacs. You need to be posting in the iMac G5 forums for your G5 and the Powerbook forums for the Powerbook.

  • Ever since my iphoto library crashed (ran out of space without warning) my mcbook pro has been slow, unresponsive, freezes in sleep mode and won't restart... please help.

    Hi everyone
    Ever since my iphoto library crashed (ran out of space without warning) my mcbook pro has been slow, unresponsive, freezes in sleep mode and won't restart...
    I've since backed everything up on an external hard drive, removed the corrupt library, even reinstalled the operating software and there is now hardly anything on the hard drive, it still runs painfully slow. If I close the lid which puts it in sleep mode, it either doesn't go into sleep mode but instead the battery just gets drained and I find it completely empty of power (it won't start again unless plugged in), or it goes into sleep mode but just freezes when I try to reopen.
    In iphoto (reinstalled) but even other applications it is painfully slow, not like a mac at all!
    I am trying to go to genius bar with it but thinking maybe someone in this forum can help...
    Many thanks
    Andre

    Hi erastyle,
    Actually the Licensing information for the package is missing hence it is not launching any applications. You need to Reserialize the products using APTEE which you can find it on the Machine where you have created the package. If you dont have the access to that Machine then please download and install Creative Cloud Packager and it will download APTEE in the below mentioned location.
    Windows:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities
    Once downloaded please follow this KB article to use the Tool.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/provisioning-toolkit-enterprise.html
    Please let us know if it helps.
    Regards,

  • My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I quit itunes, and it keeps reopening.

    My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I pause the song, and it resumes it on its own again. I'm not joking. So, I end up quiting out of itunes; but, it starts right back up again on its own. After quiting out of the app a few times, it eventually stops reopening; however, about an hour later (or less) it opens again. HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP? I'm just about to delete itunes, because I've had enough of this crap. I hope someone can help. I've restarted the laptop, and it seemed like that fixed it, then itunes started up doing the same thing again an hour later. ituneshelper is unchecked; bluetooth is off; i only have speakers and a mouse plugged in (also charger).

    Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.

    Hi Dan,
    I tried to reset settings but it didn't seem to help much. Then I read a few posts about deleting my email accounts and recreating them, and that actually seemed to help a bit. Now the only time I notice it gets heated up is when I am either on whatsapp or Instagram...that's it!

    The recent IOs 7.1 has been slow and unstable on both my iPad and iPhone, is there a fix? It is very slow, e.g copy and paste from a browser.
    iPhone 5 &amp; iPad gen 4

    I restarted my phone as suggested and it is still happening.
    My phone just blacks out at its own will as if the battery went dead then the apple logo appears and it restarts on it's own but my battery was still at 30% when it restarted. So that made no sense. When I try to type in my password it freezes up before I can get all of the characters in. I still hear the clicks of my tapping on the keyboard but nothing is changing on the screen. When I hit the enter button on accident it vibrated to tell me my password was incorrect but still the screen was frozen with my previous entry of the first 5 characters on the screen.
    I am becoming concerned that I may have a very expensive paperweight now.
    My husband has the same phone and his is working fine after the initial reboot.

    I'm not aware of any, not to say that there aren't any issues.
    it may have nothing to do with ntpd, there are a lot of things running.
    ntpd just happen to make the log entry at the same time as the panic.
    I would check to see if there are any updates available for you system.
    if this is the first time that this has happened. it may be (pick one):
    cosmic rays
    sun spots
    the trilateral commission
    if this happens more frequently and that traces look the same, then
    there may be a real problem that needs to be looked into further.

    Apple will repair or replace at its discretions, parts found to be defective in materials or workmanship.
    You will have to discuss whether your history warrants a complete replacement with the folks at the Genius Bar.
    I do not speak for Apple, but it sounds to me like you have been unlucky, but not unlucky enough (or have spent so much time with your MacBook in the shop) to warrant a complete replacement.
    You have not provided any details of what the faults were or what was replaced. If they replaced the motherboard, you already got a new computer -- because everything except the drive and the display is on that board.
