Windows 7 64 bit: Just installed firefox and pages will not load, or are very slow, IE explorer loads instantly

I installed windows ultimate 64 bit, Tried to install firefox for my default browser. Internet explorer loads everything like normal, no problem but firefox will not load or does after 5 mins +
I checked my firewall windows provides and Avira to see if they were blocking, Found nothing of anything being blocked.
This is a fresh installed windows 7, No viruses or malware

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.

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 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.

  • I just installed Firefox and am stuck on the "Choose a profile" page because when I click "Create a profile" nothing happens.

    I just installed Firefox and it is stuck on the "Choose a Profile" page and will not load...frozen. When I click on "Create a Profile", nothing happens. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new profiles.ini file and a new default profile.

    * C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\&lt;profile&gt;\
    The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.

    works excellent on my Mac 21 inch desktop which i have had since '09...Today, i bought a mac Book air
    , downloaded firefox and it will not allow me to watch video library which i need for training... it says install plug- ins......What did I do wrong? I did not have this problem with my other Mac.......

    Sorry, Flash for Android is not yet compatible with Firefox for Android. We hope to work with Adobe to fix this in a future release.
    You can play some YouTube videos by enabling YouTube's HTML5 beta. Only videos available in the WebM or Theora formats will play in Firefox for Android: http://youtube.com/html5

  • I just installed Firefox and I can't seem to be able to add my AVG toolbar to it. I already had AVG Internet Security before I installed Firefox. How do I add the AVG toolbar?

    I just installed Firefox and I have been trying to add the AVG toolbar to it but I just can't seem to be able to do that. I already had AVG Internet Security before installing Firefox today. Does anyone know how I can add the AVG toolbar to Firefox?

    It seems no one here is familiar with this application.
    Which IE settings need to be changed? While Firefox doesn't have the same approach to security (e.g., by "zone") there may be some parallels.
    In case the problem is the built-in PDF viewer introduced in Firefox 19, try the steps in this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
    Does that make any difference?

  • I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

    I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

  • My Iphone 4 just shut off and now will not turn back on.

    My Iphone 4 just shut off and now will not turn back on. I was listening to music, it started to make a static sound then shut off and will not turn back on. What do I do?

    Battery dead?
    Plug it into the charger that came with the iPhone and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Leave it plugged in for 20 minutes. Then while still plugged in reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I just updated to iOS7 and Pages will not print using AirPrint!

    Like the title says, Pages will not print. It's just a Pages issue. I can print using AirPrint when I print things from Safari or photos stored on my iPad. I've tried rebooting my router, "forgetting" my wifi connection and hooking it up again, I've exited Pages completely (so it's not running in the background) numerous times...nothing is working.
    Strangely, Pages finds my printer just fine and goes through the motions of printing. It will tell me the usual "connecting to printer", "preparing printer", "now printing"...but nothing happens with the printer. It's like the connection between Pages and the printer gets lost somewhere. Pages used to print just fine before I updated to iOS 7. Whether that's just a coincidence or not, who knows. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

    I Also have the exact same issue, did you manage to resolve the issue?

    Hi wayneiii,
    If you are having issues adding video files to iTunes on your Windows machine, you may want to verify that they are in a format that iTunes can play. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Just installed Firefox, and the page won't load. It says unable to connect. Already deleted and reinstalled and followed some tips on the website. It's still not working? Help.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 on another laptop without issue (it has windows 7). I downloaded it again on another computer (a lil older with Windows Vista) and it wouldn't open from the very beginning. I fixed the firewall as stated in the help section. I also updated the internet connection settings as stated in the help section. I also deleted and reinstalled it twice, but nothing still works. :-(

    Did you ever fix this, because I am having the same problem

  • I keep getting a blank page when i pull up firefox and it will not go to websites

    whenever i bring up firefox it is a picture of my puppy or a blank page. if i try to visit a website it will not even go to it that page just stays at the picture or the blank page. ive removed firefox and installed it again and it keeps doing the same thing. My internet explorer is working but i dont like it as much as firefox. please help.

    I've been through the exact same thing and cannot seem to get an answer here. When you go to Manage Storage, does it have something at the top like "19.1 GB of 25 GB available"? I only have a Mail account with 5.3 GB in it and a Backups account with 553 MB in it. Obviously, these don't add up to 19.1 GB. There was no change in any of these numbers when I deleted all the same files you mention. With the free Mobile Me storage expiring next month, this is something I'm pretty concerned about.

  • What happened to the zoom bar that lets me increase the size from, say, 100% to 125%? I just installed Firefox, and I no longer find that feature.

    A week or so ago I thoughtlessly installed Explorer 10 (Chrome 10?) and immediately began having problems with my google email page and one program I use through email. I got a message that I could not download Explorer 9 to reinstall it, because there "is a newer version on the machine." And I can't find a way to uninstall a browser.
    So, I downloaded Firefox and set it as my default browser.
    The problem with the email page cleared up instantly; the problem with the program that goes through email got worse (and it still runs fine on a second machine in my house.)
    AND---I can't find the zoom button to let me increase the appearance from, say, 100% to 125%, which I very much like to do.

    I believe you just reverse pinch screen
