After automatic update of Firefox 3.6, it is now running VERY slowly!

After having Firefox automatically update itself on June 22, 2010, it is now running VERY slowly for me, and is taking a LONG time (10-15 minutes) to even open!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Yesterday,Tuesday, June 22, 2010

I installed 3.6.4 on XP June 23 and had much the same experience, except Firefox 3.6.4 never finished opening, even after nearly an hour, and brought my entire system to an excruciatingly slow crawl, even though pgm mgr showed FF getting 0% and system idle with 97-98. This happened twice with a reboot in between. Finally had to roll back to a previous restore point and all is fine now, except--no new version of Firefox. I'll wait to see more feedback about 3.6.4 before trying to install again.

After upgrading to OS X Lion Aperture 3.1.3 runs very slowly and crashes

After upgrading to OS X Lion Aperture 3.1.3 runs very slowly and crashes regularly when editing and/or exporting images. Prior to the upgrade these problems did not exist - has anyone else encountered this behavior and found a resolution?
My iMac has 2GB of RAM (max RAM is 3GB according to the machine specs) and uses a 2TB external drive for the Aperture library and Time machine backups.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately after doing the Repair Permissions and rebuilding the Aperture Library the performance has not improved.
I cleared out the cache(s) by removing all of the files in the following folders and restarting:
Hard Drive/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/System/Library/Caches
Hard Drive/Users/(Your user)/Library/Caches
which seems to have helped a little bit. I did notice that in my Users folder there are 111 items:
username
username 1 (then folders with the same name up to 109)
Shared
could the extra username folders be causing the performance issue? In each folder is a Library folder, in the Library folder is a Preferences folder and in the Preferences folder is a com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist file and sometimes a com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file.
Only the username 1's Library folder has the standard Caches, Fonts, Logs & Preferences folders.
Is it safe to remove the username 2 - 109 folders? If so is the creation of these folders something I can turn off?

After automatic update to firefox 23, the wlecome to firefox/ Android page always opens

The automatic updater did the update to Firefox 23 several days ago. Since then, when I open Firefox the add-on compatibility check runs before Firefox opens, and Firefox always opens to the Welcome to Firefox page that wants me to connect my PC with an Android phone. Considering that I don't have an Android phone, it is annoying to have to close that tab before I do anything else.
Previous updates took me to the welcome page only the first time I opened Firefox after the update. At least this time Firefox didn't try to change my home page from the one I choose to the Google search page. I can search from the toolbar if I want to; I don't need Firefox to open to the Google search page.

Thanks, that took care of this problem. Now I can go back to last week's sync problem and try those solutions.
I did have to reset my home page to the one of my choice, but that didn't take very long. I might find a few other things I need to set again, but sometimes it's nice to clean the slate so to speak and start fresh.

After automatically updated to Firefox 3.6.15 videos won't play properly

Recently when firefox was automatically updated to 3.6.15 suddenly videos won't play properly anymore. Vidxden videos used to play really well but now they don't load properly or not at all. All the other videos take forever to load and don't seem to be compatible anymore. I usually go to the same video sites and those don't work like they used to. I've noticed as well that hotmail is really slow and many pages won't load at all including windows live web site. It doesn't appear that 3.6.15 is very compatible with video play or msn sites.

Since automatic update to 3.6.15, I am unable to play videos on abc.com, and even on my News Feed page in Facebook. The error message says the video is being blocked by an ad blocker in my browser. I have not changed my security settings, nor have I updated any other software recently.
By the way, I did check the same videos (at abc.com and on Facebook) with Internet Explorer (same computer) and they played just fine.

Why is Firefox taking up a lot of CPU and running very slowly?

For the past week my Firefox (and also Chrome) have been running very slowly. Any time a page loads the CPU column in Task Manager shoots up to between 10-20 when it's usually at 00, and it sends my cpu fans into overdrive until the page is loading.
Pictures load very slowly, and busy pages are even worse, such as Weather channel pages or Gawker blog articles. I've run MSE, Malwarebytes, I've run Firefox in safe mode, nothing is working. I'm really beginning to get frustrated because it's making any kind of browsing at all very unenjoyable.

Safe Mode didn't make any difference?
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].

I have just updated my iMac to Mountain Lion and it is now running really slowly. Is this expected? I feel the functionality is unusable in many places.

Ever since I installed the Mountain Lion update to the OS, my iMac has been running very slowly. I have to wait 25 seconds to come out of a sleep mode. This and a number of other issues makes the machine unusable. Please tell me how I should try to address this.

Man, do you have Sophos antivirus? If that so, you need to uninstall it the right way:
For Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X version 7.x , go to Macintosh HD|Library|Sophos Anti-Virus.
Select 'Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg'.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTE, if you are running Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X version 4.x, the path in step 1 is Macintosh HD|Library|Application Support|Sophos Anti-Virus.
It seems that Sophos antivirus is crashing ML. They have an update but I'll wait some time becuase I've really had a painful time these days.

I automatically updated to Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac, and now the program misbehaves. It hangs when I try to quit. Can I downgrade to 4.0?

I was running 4.0 on my Intel Mac (Leopard 10.5.8), and everything was fine. Firefox automatically updated me to 4.0.1. Then I noticed my computer running very slowly. I am unable to quite Firefox without forcing a quit.
Can I reinstall 4.0? If so, where can I download the original version?
Thanks.

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:'''1.9.0.11''') Gecko/'''2009060214''' Firefox/'''3.0.11 FBSMTWB'''
Your users agent is stuck at Firefox 3.0.11 due to a extension during when you had 3.0.11 and it tacked on stuff on end and kept it from updating the version number. This was due to the "Fast Browser Search toolbar" extension (FBSMTWB). This issue is not a problem with Firefox 4.0 and newer.
See this on how to reset it to normal. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/websites%20or%20add-ons%20incorrectly%20report%20incompatible%20browser#w_reset-your-user-agent

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Turn off automatic update of Firefox on Gnome 3, Fedora 15

On Fedora 15, using Gnome 3, I am unable to turn off automatic updates for Firefox, I am only able to turn off auto updates for Add-ons and Search Engines.

Possibly you have obtained a modified version of Firefox. Preferences, chrome, js or whatever may have been modified.
If work requires you to develop on certain versions, and you are doing some of that on this computer, why not install multiple copies of Firefox, including the required versions. I trust the required versions will be the currently supported versions; at the moment that is 3.6, 6, 7, 8 or 9
You should ensure you use multiple profiles so each has a unique profile.
For the current problematic firefox 6 do a clean install, deleting the original program files, but not the profile files. (or possibly an additional install in a custom location with a new profile - allowing you to retain the current firefox 6, and a standard firefox 6) Profiles may be cloned/copied if required, bookmark libraries may be accessed from other versions/profiles if necessary, and multiple versions can be run concurrently. ( I talk from a Windows perspective, but it is unlikely Linux is going to differ)

Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.
