Videos load slower than in the past

Since upgrading to Firefox/3.6.13, videos load much slower. I have run speed test on system and that is not the problem. I have DSL. The later in the day, the slower the down load.

Hello Paul,
Least likely is Malware.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive in Disk Utilty by highlighting the Drive & looking at the bottom of the window.
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • When watching baseball highlights the video is slower than audio. I checked all my plug ins and they are up to date. suggestions?

    I have been having problems when watching video clips from news but mainly when I check the video highlights on mlb.com. The video is slower than the audio. It freezes up at times or drags.I have checked all my plug ins on firefox and they are up to date. I checked my PC for errors and cleaned it. But still having problems.

    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • .flv videos load slow.  Can it be sped up?

    I have four videos on a page that two of them load
    imediately. The other two take about five minutes to load. Is there
    a way to make them all load at the same time?
    By the way. The videos all load faster in FireFox. The videos
    load slow IE, which I think is what most people tend to use.

    Also, if anyone can tell me how enable a full screen button.
    Thanks in advance.

    there is no way to control the 'speed' of the DL - however
    you may be able to 'stream' the video - in this way it will only
    pause until properly buffered and then begin playback.

    The video at the top loads way slower than the two at the

    Can anyone tell me why? Do I need to post this in the Flash

  • Sudden Slow Internet (for the past month or two)

    Hi all,
    I've had my iMac since December 2009 and it's always been well behaved.  However, in the past couple of months, the internet speed has been inconsistent to the point where it is now pretty much as slow as it could ever be.  Web pages take minutes to load, Dropbox is a no go and Skype just cuts out.
    As well as the iMac, I have a Macbook and an iPhone and the internet on these is still as fast as ever.
    I rang my internet service provider and they did a few rough tests before claiming it was the Mac that is at fault, especially if the laptop and phone speeds are okay.
    So I just wanted to ask, are there any causes for slow internet?  Is there anything I can do?  Shoudl I investigate further with my ISP?
    Ben

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them; in that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. Any change?
    If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all the same?
    Is networking always the same, or is the problem intermittent?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?
    If possible, turn off Bluetooth and disconnect any USB 3 devices. Any difference?

  • Signed applets load slower than javascript

    I have a signed applet and i had problems with certifications but i solved them.
    Now i have a new problem with the chat , it�s when the page is load, javascript tries to get some variables from the applet but it has�n load jet and javascript stops.
    Is 1.5 slower than 1.4??
    How can i solve it'??

    In javascript you can use try and catch. When caught use setTimeout
    var varOfTheApplet = null;
    function callPublicMethodOfTheApplet(){
      try{
            varOfTheApplet = document.getElementById("idOfMyApplet").publicMethod();
       }catch(e){

  • A video I have watched in the past plays randomly, invisibly and sporadically in the background when browsing with FF10.

    I'm having a small but annoying issue with FF10. In the past, I have watched a video on a website that I visited to get information on a diet for a family member. I have not visited that site since obtaining the information on the diet, but now, sometimes the audio from that video will play in the background when I am browsing with FF10. This issue has not occurred with any other browser, so far as I am aware. My first thought was that I may have a virus, but I run virus scans every day, and all of them have come back showing no viruses. I have run Norton Internet Security scan in both Safe Mode and Normal mode, all with the same result. My PC is less than a year old, and everything seems to be running smoothly, apart from this problem. It does not happen every time I open Firefox, but sometimes happens at start-up, or more rarely, after I've been browsing for a while. Apart from the repeated virus scans, I have also attempted to clear any cookies related to the site I visited. I am waiting to see if this solves the issue, but I'm wondering if anyone else is having or has had a similar issue. If you have, any help would be much appreciated.The audio of the video was annoying to listen to once, and I'm hoping I do not have to keep hearing it so often, so if you have any suggestions beyond what I have tried, I'd be extremely grateful. Thank you.

    If there aren't any tabs to restore on startup, please try deleting the '''sessionstore.js''' and '''sessionstore.bak''' files in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder], after exiting Firefox. You can also open this folder from Firefox '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder''' and exit Firefox.

  • Youtube videos load slow in FF & Chrome, but fine in IE.

    So my problem is that Youtube videos load in a very choppy way in Firefox and Chrome, first 15 seconds load, then there's a long pause, before next 15 or so seconds are loaded. However, they load smoothly on Internet Explorer. I've reinstalled browsers and Flash, tried disabling HW acceleration, all to no avail.

    It seems to me that you should not need padding if the bottom image is 'pasted' to the bottom of the menu. If the bottom div is the same size as the image, you also don't need to say "background-position: bottom;" You know that it is the 'bottom' of the menu visually. The div doesn't care where it is...it's probable that the padding is pushing the image right out of the picture (so to speak).
    I don't see the bottom padding on the markup, anyway. Are the image you are presenting corresponding to the code you pasted in? By the way, seeing code pasted in is not as good as seeing the page and code in situ...by getting a link for it.

  • Why is firefox slower than before the reset?

    The past 8 weeks Firefox has been extremely slow. I've tried safe mode and all the other web suggestions and finally did the 'Reset'. Now Firefox is slower than it was before the reset. Google, Duck Duck Go and IE. I've also tried Safari, which I didn't like, but all of them were faster than Firefox. Can anybody help me? I'm not that computer savvy to do a clean install and don't the $$ to have it done. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    Maybe you can do a clean install by following these instructions:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] (or choose the download for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page]) and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the close button [[Image:Close 29]]).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->

  • Slow broadband over the past few days.

    My broadband speed has gone slow pver the past few days, from a guaranteed 2mbps to 0.92kbps
    http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3615801582
    I'm a BT Vision customer, so if I don't have the 2mbps guaranteed, my Bt Vision is pointless. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
    are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    there is no speed guaranteed - all packages are sold as up to speeds.  no ISP guarantees any speed
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • Slow speeds for the past 2 weeks

    For the past 2 weeks I have been having very slow speeds. At first I thought it was the westell modem which kept powering down, rebooting every 30+ mins or would save the network settings. Purchase a new modem still have the slow speed minus the constant reboots and loss of settings.
    Any chance to get my speeds up to what Iam currently paying for?
    Package: 1.5-3Mbps
    Speed tests form diffrent sites 0.399Mbps to 0.412 Mbps
    Former modem: Westell 327W A90-327W15-06
    Current modem: Actiontec GT784WN
    Downstream Speed: 480 Kbps
    Upstream Speed: 448 Kbps
    SNR Downstream : 6 dB SNR Upstream : 10 dB
    Attenuation Downstream : 63 dB
    Attenuation Upstream : 31 dB
    Power Downstream 14.3 dBm Power
    Upstream 11.9 dBm

    Your line isn't in a very good shape to be running on the 1.5Mbps-3Mbps package. As it stands, you barely have enough capacity to support even 1/3 of the 1.5Mbps provisioning. There's simply too much noise.
    What you should do first is take one of your modems out to your NID, if you have access to one and plug it into the test jack found inside of the NID. If there is a telephone plug already inserted into it, remove it to gain access to the jack (this will disconnect your home's wiring until you reconnect it). From there, sync up the modem and post up the new Transceiver Statistics you obtain.
    Have your speeds been at 1.5-3Mbps in the past? That would also help us. Lastly, if you have Voice Service with Verizon, do you have any noise on your line, such as humming, buzzing, loud static or popping?

  • Firefox 23 loads slower than Internet Explorer 10

    I was doing a speed test between Firefox 23 and Internet Explorer 10. If you visit http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/PenguinMark/ all addons are disable on Firefox 23 and still slower than internet explorer. Why is that?

    I don't know how to interpret my results. I got 1 in Firefox (no snow visible) and 8370 in IE (blizzard). Maybe I'm blocking something?

  • The start sequence of my macbook is getting slower than at the beginning. How can I find the reason?

    I use my mac book pro (Intel) now since 6 months
    I installed several programs and the start-up-sequence now is getting longer than in the beginning.
    Can somebody give me informations, where I can find information how to speed up the system
    or to clean the system with a good utility?

    Hi sevenstringer
    I have done most of the utilities in ONYX, f.e. all points in the register "Aufräumen" in english I think it's called "clear up" and also I've done also "Optimize" -> "Reconstruction" -> "Launch services".
    After done all of this items, my start up procedure is always the same (about 30 s).
    Is it possible that some programs, which I have installed can take this effects ?
    (f.e.: VMWare and Parallels)
    Or do you have some other ideas, f.e. how can I find older programs, which I will not use anymore, and uninstall it.
    Thank you for aour informations.

  • Why is my video sounds slower than the video playing

    Why when I record a video the sound starts way after the video has been started

    Macs normally slow down a bit over time. Uninstall any unneccary apps and try keep the ammount of hard drive space free more than 50%. To find out how much hard drive space you have left click the apple logo in the menu bar and click "About This Mac" Then click on "More Info" and after that click on "Storage".
    Also, try to see if there is anything wrong with your hard drive. To do so click on the liitle rocet icon (launchpad) in the dock and click on "Utilities". Then click on the "Disk Utility" app. Then select "Macintosh HD" in the left menu/ Then click "Repair Disk Permissions". Wait for it to finish. Then click "Verify Disk". Wait for it to finish.
    After that, if Disk Utility says you have any hard drive errors, click "Repair Disk".
    Lastly, try a good old restart!. This always speeds up a Mac.
