After updating Firefox, our (Windows XP) internet system is very slow ?

Last week I updated our Windows XP system with Firefox latest download and now everything is really slow ? It takes much longer than it used to find web pages. I also had the same problem on my home computer, Vista ?
Can you explain why this has happened and what I can fo about it

After updating Firefox, cannot open at all, system tells me Firefox is already running, but it isn't. I can't even remove it from system???

After updating to Firefox 6, I cannot open Firefox at all. Nothing happens when I try. I went to Control Panel and tried to remove Firefox, but my system tells me that Firefox is already running, please close to continue. I do not have another copy running. Everything was working great until this last update.
I have tried all the recommendations on your site but nothing is helping - very frustrating!!!!!

Get Windows Temporary Profile on restart after updating Firefox on Windows 7

This happened a month ago when going from 15 to 15.0.1 also. And again now when upgrading to 16.0.1.
I have no idea how it fixed itself last time as I tried everything over the course of multiple days last time (many reboots, restarts, etc.). Ended up creating two additional accounts, just had the one originally, in order to copy all my files and start over last time. Then, seemingly at random, the original profile worked in which I noticed two instances of FF, 15 and 15.0.1, in the control panel so tried re-installing FF 15.0.1, even though the manifest listed it as successful, which fixed it.
Now the exact thing is happening again after upgrading to 16.0.1. It was a successful install, verified before rebooting via update history and closing FF and opening a couple of times, and it then only listing 16.0.1 in the control panel. But, on the first restart, Windows 7 goes into temporary profile mode again. I tried creating a second account again in hopes the first would magically work again, as I have no idea how I got back into the original profile the last time it happened, to no avail.
Can anyone help? I hate to give up on FF as I've been using it exclusively for years but I don't want to go through this a third time.
Also, what can I do to get back into my original profile so that I don't have to start from scratch yet again copying my files and recreating all my settings?

Update.
After many logoffs, restarts and switching user from the temporary profile and the second user account, it randomly let me back in to my original profile again.
I literally did nothing to allow me access to it other than many of those attempts.
As soon as I was in my original account again, I immediately went to the control panel -> uninstall a program and verified, same as last time, that it listed two instances of FF (recall that it did NOT after I upgraded before the first restart and getting the temp profile). I opened up FF, 16.0.1, and downloaded it again from http://www.mozilla.org/products/download.html?product=firefox-16.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US
Installed that, even though it was already successfully installed according to FF. And just like last time, that removed the earlier instance of FF, 15.0.1, and all is back to normal. Verified by restarting multiple times and no longer getting a temp profile (exactly like last time which lasted for about three weeks until the 16.0.1 upgrade).
This never happened until 15.0.1 and now 2 for 2 with 16.0.1. What is going on that would yield a successful upgrade yet on Windows 7 first restart after is causing it to kick to a temporary profile (yet also fixed, if one gets lucky enough to get back their profile, re-installing it over fixes it until the next upgrade?)? Some file not being created/deleted on reboot that is confusing Windows when trying to load the user profile?
I'm willing to copy over my W7 user profile to a flash drive and Fedex it to the FF team if one can fix this. It is the most basic software setup that I can't imagine others aren't experiencing the same issues.

Windows 7 internet speed is very slow.

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro Lion 10.7.4 and I recently installed Windows 7 by using my install disc and through Boot Camp. I have installed the lastest drivers for Windows through the Boot Camp. Everything was fine except the internet speed on the Windows. It took a long time to load webpages and all my messages on Skype were pending which probably points to the slow internet I am getting from my wireless device. On the other hand, the speed of my internet was fairly fast with a download speed of 500 - 700kb/s on the Mac OSX. My download speed is about 30-50 kb/s on Windows. Is there a problem with my Windows drivers or maybe my wireless just doesn't like Windows?
Thanks,
Chris

What level of speed and bandwidth does your ISP say you should get?
I would look at the modem, the age of the router, etc.
Are you on DSL? does not sound like cable.
Run a test, see what this shows and look at the ping in milliseconds.
http://speedtest.net/
It use to be, and I think is still true actually, that Windows has had faster I/O but it depends on your equipment and whether it is 'current' or not. Make and brand. Even if there are firmware updates or supported any longer.
Can you test with a wired connection? you have a tower, therefore it has two ethernet ports on the back, not a laptop. Distance and interference.
Get your ISP - see if they have forum, phone support is often a joke but forums can really provide help, whether your equipment is rented or not.

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks syslogd needs lot of memory and cpu, system is very slow

After upgrading to OS X Mavericks the system is very slow. securityd and syslogd are using 50% of cpu and memory is also used by syslogd and kerneltask (8 GB out of 12). After rebooting the system it runs very well, a view days later (without reboot, only hibernating) the situation is the same.
Looks like a problem in OS X. Any solutions?

I haven't worked out the LDAP messages but I noticed at other times I was seeing lots of album art messages from BlackBerry desktop. I'd already uninstalled the app but it still had processes running. I followed this link to remove completely; http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/57023/how-to-uninstall-completely-black berry-device-manager
CPU levels have been noticeably lower ever since.

After updating Firefox to version 16.0.1, it no longer works in conjunction with "Proxifier"...

Hi,
I'm using Firefox on Windows XP professional x64 SP2.
I also use a program called "Proxifier" which directs all traffic from my computer to the Internet and vice versa through a proxy server and does the name resolution through proxy DNS not system DNS. Before updating my Firefox to v. 16.0.1, everything was working fine: Firefox connections were made through "Proxifier" and all the connections made by Firefox were shown in Proxifier's window.
But after updating Firefox, traffic from Firefox does not pass through Proxifier and in other words Firefox opens websites if I disable Proxifier. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH Internet Explorer which works fine and its traffic is directed through Proxifier as usual.
I did an extensive search through Google for a solution, and most relevant results suggest that it may have something to do with messed up LSP_CATEGORIES:
link: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621320
and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636088
Anyway, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and Proxifier, resetting Firefox, resetting winsocks catalog (netsh int ip reset - netsh winsock reset) several times and tried the relevant suggestions in this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-connecting-websites-after-updating?esab=a&as=aaq
Also tried installing previous versions of Firefox such as v. 13 or 3.6.28 but the problem exists with these versions as well.
Unfortunately nothing has worked so far. I'm really puzzled since Internet Explorer is working fine with Proxifier and this problem with Firefox appeared only after updating it.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Regards

hello, you probably have to set-up firefox to use a proxy to connect to the web: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-network-updates-and-encryption#w_network-tab

After updating to 10.6.8 internet browsing very slow

After doing the update 10.6.8 internet browsing became very slow on safari, chorme and firefox. Is there a solution to this problem.

Had the same problem
I then added some DNS servers to my network configuration and now speed is back to normal (pre 10.6.8)
This is how to add DNS servers
Find some IP address of a DNS server either from your Internet Provider or use one or more of these:
http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/
Test one or more DNS IP addresses by using nslookup
Open terminal (cmd + space type terminal)
In the terminal type
nslookup nasa.org 12.13.14.15
where 12.13.14.15 is the DNS IP server address you want to test
If it works it will respond:
Server:        192.168.1.1
Address:    192.168.1.1#53
Name:    nasa.org
Address: 208.73.210.48
Now add one or more valid DNS IP address to the network settings:
In Systems settings / Network / Advanced choose the DNS tab
Press the + button and type the IP address of a valid DNS server
Press OK and then Apply
Now your browser should be back to its usual speed :-)

Am I the only one getting calls from 253-802-0308 about malicious file downloads after updating FIREFOX?

After updating Firefox I start getting calls from 253-802-0308 (International Telcom in Auburn Washington, found using 411.com). The report that they are getting messages that my Windows PC is reporting the downloading of malicious files. I don't think that there is a connection with Mozilla but it only started after I ran the last 2 or 3 updates to Firefox. Searches on Google and other search engines don't show logical connections to the phone calls and the problem being reported to me. None of my anti-virus programs, Ccleaner, DEFENDER & AVG pickup and malicious files. I'm curious about who they may be because when I question them during the calls they end up hanging up on me. Just wondering if similar problems are being reported.

That is a reported scammer set-up. Read some of the following from actual phone customers. It is not related to your Firefox updates. I have gotten a few of these types of calls on my '''''unlisted '''''home phone number over the past several years. They use a dialer, usually automatic and sequential number dialing. Get a loud whistle to blow into the phone mouth piece or one of those loud air horns from the hardware/sporting good store; this kind of trash deserves broken ear drums.

Touch pad controls disappeared after update for Bootcamp windows 7

After updating Bootcamp for Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 13" (Mid 2009), the touchpad lost its tap functionality and there, nolonger, is a touchpad tab in the Bootcamp Manager. Is there any way to reinstate the "tap to click" function?

Thanks, but what do you mean by Windows Support Software? ... the Windows 7 drivers, Windows 7 OS, or Bootcamp for Windows 7 ?

After updating to OS X Mavericks, internet USB dongles topped working. Many other users have faced the same problems.

After updating to OS X Mavericks, internet USB dongles topped working. Many other users have faced the same problems. Can someone please help me out? I am unable to find online help.

Sourcing Drivers for dongles when upgrading OS is a nightmare whether its osx or windoze. It takes the likes of Huawei ages to produce new versions. I strongly recommend getting a portable wifi (mifi) which will work with any device and sits in your pocket not sticking out the usb port where it gets broken. Recommend Huawei E5756
