About 50% of the time Firefox is extremely slow loading any google scripts/search, all other scripts/search load quickly. Been happening for about a month now.

A month or so ago FF starting taking forever to load any page using Google scripts, also Google search. Not always, about half the time, the other half the time FF works fine. Can go on and off like this three or four times a day. No discernible pattern. Pages without Google scripts and other search engines (Bing, Yahoo) always load fine with FF, only Google doesn't. Even while FF is slooowwwly loading Google scripts/searches, Chrome and IE load the same scripts and searches quickly with no problems. WTF?

I had this problem, I checked my add-ons one by one as suggested and it was the Avast online security add-on slowing me down on Google. Disabled it and FF works ok.
No idea why the avast add-on would do that? Still using the full version of avast but not the add-on.

Yes, I think most of us do understand what open source software is. It sounds as if you don't. Here's some information:
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form: the source code and certain other rights normally reserved forcopyright holders are provided under an open-source license that permits users to study, change, improve and at times also to distribute the software.
Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-sourcedevelopment and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.

Yes, Tom Wu of Stanford wrote a paper on something called Secure Remote Access Protocol. It's a form of Asymetric Key Exchange and has nothing to do with hacking anything. It's actually intended to protect data.

How do I send crash reports?

If you're actually using Mac OS X v10.5.8, as your profile says, you're wasting your time trying to submit crash reports to Apple.

It seems it was working fine earlier.
Is this happening with all files?
You can try using different browser.

My friend stopped receiving messages from my iphone. he used to get them all the time and suddenly he stopped stopped receiving them but receives all other text messages from others. How do we fix that?

A friend and I text almost all the time. He used to receive all of my messages and one day, he text me, I responded and he didn't receive it. He still doesn't receive my texts but can receive other texts from everyone else. He sees me texts when he is on his computer through google voice but doesn't see my messages on his phone. How can we fix this issue?

Did he previously have an iPhone and now uses another type of phone?
If yes, he needs to read this:

My Wifi Button has been dimmed for nearly 2 months now, It started the day of purchase this summer. I reset the phone, and it is still not working. Help, please?

Hi, Apple community! This summer, I dropped my phone in the water. Due to that incident, I got a new iPhone. Same one, it is an iPhone 4s. On the day of purchase of the new one, I came across a very bad problem... My home WiFi disabled my iPhone's connection, therefore not letting me to use any WiFi-making my 4G Data plan payments sky rocket(I use my phone a lot while I am on the go). After 3 weeks, I realized there was nothing I can do about it. I contacted Apple for help, and I was assisted by a kind gentleman named "Christopher". He went into detail with the problem I was coming across, and he gave me a list of ways to solve it. Unfortunately, after many tries, I was not able to solve my problem. So, today, I am contacting you guys to see if you know about this issue. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I have upgraded to i.O.S.7 just this morning, at around 11:57 to 1 AM (EST). Even then, nothing is working. I am looking into scheduling an appointment with a local Apple Genius bar. What should I do? Should I just take the phone into a Genius bar, or is there any other way of resolving this?

my money is on a hardware issue

When I start my computer in the morning, I can't get Firefox to open about 50% of the time. If I restart my computer it works fine.

When I start my computer in the morning and click on Firefox, about 50% of the time it will not open. I've waited approximatly 15 minutes and it still does not open, so it is not that it is loading slowly. Restarting my computer resolves the problem and Firefox works fine. I have Firefox set to always "run as administrator".

P.S It might also be a good idea to completely remove all of your Firefox user data and settings (profiles.ini file and Profiles folder) when you [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer|remove the Firefox application from your computer]]. On OS X 10.7 or above:
#Click the Finder icon in the dock.
#On the menu bar, click the Go menu, hold down the option or alt key and select Library. A window will open containing your Library folder.
#Open the "Application Support" folder
#Delete the '''Firefox''' folder containing '''profiles.ini''' and the '''Profiles''' folder.

Back button only works about 50% of the time. Have to hit it twice, sometimes three times before it works. Problem is intermittent. Firefox 3.6.10 on Mac OS 10.6.4 (same on both MacBook and iMac machines).

Has any one eals had this problem?

That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file the email message will crash.

I use Outlook for my email on the Safari web browser, and about 90% of the time when I want to attach a pdf or jpg file it fails and about 50% of the time when I want to send a standard text massage it will also fail and the email massage crashes. The only way I can get my Outlook to work is if I switch to Firefox web browser. I would rather not switch to a new web browser if I don't have to.
It seems like what ever the problem is that its related the Safari web browser, because it works fine on the Firefox web browser.
I think its some kind of plug-in failure because it giving me a LOC ERROR:
LOC ERROR: Unable to locate localized string for resource ID 5007.
How can I fix this Plug-in?
And, yes my softwer is conpletly updated…

Since I've installed F4, about 50% of the time it won't open.

Windows Vista is my OS. Since I've installed F4, about 50% of the time it won't open, despite the fact that it's listed as a process in the task mgr. I get no error message and have no trouble opening Google or IE. It happens when I've just turned my computer on and when it's already on and I go open F4 to do something. To rectify, I have to either reboot my computer (sometimes multiple times) or actually uninstall and reinstall F4.

I have found that the example given in this thread
"... you would need three smtp servers in your smtp server list, smtp.goddaddy.com:username1, smtp.goddaddy.com:username2, and smtp.goddaddy.com:username3"
also has issues. It appears that the Mail program gets confused if there are identical SMTP server names (and user names that are identical in the first 8 characters) in the list. I had a situation where I had smtp.goddaddy.com:username1, smtp.mac.com:username2, and smtp.goddaddy.com:username3. When trying to send mail from username3's account I kept getting the "can't send mail from SMTP server smtp.goddaddy.com:username1" error message. The message indicated to me that the program had confused the SMTP servers for username1 and username3. Also, the SMTP server for username3 was not in the drop down list available from the error message window from which you get the opportunity to change SMTP server designations. Account preferences looked good and the server list from there also contained the correct information. I changed the the server designation for username3 to smtp.gopapa.com:username3 (my ISP has alternate server designations) and everything works fine.

IMac 24" freezes on boot about 50% of the time

My iMac freezes on bootup about 50% of the time. The freeze occurs prior to getting to the login password screen (the screen is blue when the Mac freezes). Holding down the power button to hard-shutdown the Mac works, and then typically on the next boot, the Mac does not freeze. I noticed that when it does finally finish booting correctly, the Boot Camp partitioned drive takes a long time restore to the desktop ... about a solid minute or two longer than when Finder finishes loading.
The problem has been going on for months, but seems to be getting worse. Using Disk Utility identifies NO errors on either the Mac or Windows boot partitions.
I have the OS up to date with all the latest patches.

HI David,
Go to System Preferences/Account. Click: Login Items. If you have applications listed there to launch on boot, for now, delete them and reboot and see if that makes a difference.
Try maintenance. Mac OS X: How to force background maintenance tasks (logs and temporary items)
Go to System Preferences/Software Updates. Click Scheduled Check then click: Check Now
Make sure your Mac software is up to date. If you install and updates, make sure and run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions after the updates are installed. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select FirstAid, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.
How much available disk space is there? Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then click: Get Info. In the Get Info window, click the discovery triangle so it's facing down. You will see; Capacity and Available Make sure you have 10% available disk space, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data. Not enough available disk space can slow a drive down considerably.
