Downloads in Firefox are slower than in other applications

Downloads in Firefox always seemed to be lightning quick. Now a 84 MB file is taking over 30 minutes to download.
Any thoughts?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

  • Why does the new version FireFox run slower than the old one?

    I have a fairly new computer but Firefox runs slower than the older version. Can this be remedied?

    That does not sound right. I recommend rebuilding your VI. Beore you do, open the top level VI and press contol-shift-run arrow to perform a manual binary recompile. This makes LabVIEW recompile the whole code. Most times you will not see anything happen but occasionally an error will surface. Be sure to save the VI then rebuild it.
    You may also need to reinstall the LabVIEW run time engine and/or LabVIEW. I would start with the run time engine first.

  • Need help on downloading apps that are more than 20MB in size

    I can only download apps less than 20MB in size. If i want to download others that are larger than 20MB, i have to use wifi... But after I connected my phone to my home network and clicked on the app, I am still unable to download it... The only message that pops up is to prompt me to connect to wifi.... but I thought I have connected it already??! So now the apps are grey in colour and stuck at the "loading" stage... Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? Thanks.

    Hello, thanks for your answer... yups you are right, i went to the app store on the phone and the downloads started again.
    I have one that is 22MB, one 124MB and one 36MB.... but i have tried to download those which are above 40MB but they can work... I don't know what happened to thes 3 apps...
    Oh my, I have just started using iphone for 2weeks and i dun suppose my phone is out of space already?!! currently there are less than 40apps...
    And the problem is i can't delete these apps that are stuck? when i press and hold, there is no "cross" at the top left hand corner... and i tried to uncheck the boxes in itunes to "un-sync" them.... but the apps remain greyed out on my phone... do you have any other ways to delete them?
    Thanks alot!

  • Vim in Arch slower than in other distros

    Under my arch system, the vim text editor is much slower than under any distro. I wonder why this is? May it be all the colorschemes I loaded?
    May it be that the arch build is too big of a bundle? (w/gvim etc.)
    I just want my fav. text editor to be as fast as it is under ubunutu:/
    version number for ubuntu is: 7.1.56
    version number foir arch is: 7.1.228
    Please, if anyone have tips to speeding up my vim, please send me some hints

    Hrmm... I use vim daily (if not hourly), but I don't find it to be any slower (or faster really) than on any other distro, including ubuntu and fedora. I would almost be willing to bet though, that due to the high number of dedicated vim users among the Arch developers, that vim is about as optimized as one would expect.
    Also, as for as I can tell there are no GUI components (gvim) included with the standard vim build so I'm not sure where you found that info...I could be wrong, of course.
    If you have a lot of customizations in your .vimrc and/or have lots of themes, I would definitely try to remove them temporarily and see if there's an increase in performance.
    PS: This thread might be more appropriate in the Workstation User category--you may not get a lot of coverage here.

  • Mi emails notifications are not appearing as other applications, only can see them when open my mails

    Hi I have an Iphone 5c and set my email account (local provider company).
    I can receive mails perfectly and also send mails but the notification of a new mail comming is not appearing with the red globe on top of the Mail as suppose to.
    Once I entered the mail application the mails start to download and the red globe appears but not before just after I entered tha application.
    the other applications I have like whatsapp and bbm are working perfectly. I check the notification center many times and looks ok for me but don't know what could be the problem. If someone can help me I really appreciate...

    Push mail is automatically sent to your device when it arrives at the email server.  Your email account has to support this.

  • Firefox is supposed to be faster - it's far slower than any other version & I'm going to back to Explorer - this is too much & it keeps crashing!. Is anything going to be sorted soon?

    It is now so slow to load pages - I can have coffee and then maybe a page has loaded. Otherwise it's "embarrassed" because it cannot load pages/ bookmarks. This version is terrible - can you not put back the previous version till you've sorted out the problems?

    I don't know anything about that.  But I googled it and found this post in another forum -
    "I have more info on the issue at hand.
    The RDTSC instruction has, until recently, been an excellent high-resolution, low-overhead way of getting CPU timing information. With the advent of multi-core/hyperthreaded CPUs, systems with multiple CPUs, and "hibernating" operating systems, RDTSC often no longer provides reliable results. The issue has two components: rate of tick and whether all cores (processors) have identical values in their time-keeping registers. There is no longer any promise that the timestamp counters of multiple CPUs on a single motherboard will be synchronized. So, you can no longer get reliable timestamp values unless you lock your program to using a single CPU. Even then, the CPU speed may change due to power-saving measures taken by the OS or BIOS, or the system may be hibernated and later resumed (resetting the time stamp counter).
    I might be understanding this wrong but... Basically both RDTSC and QPC are used to time code in time-sensitive programs. However, RDTSC might be inaccurate in above described situations. I also might be wrong about this but I believe QPC has something to do with the HPET high precision event timer. Which is a more accurate timer.
    So this might explain why RDTSC and QPC has a delta that is too high. And if all of what I said above is true, then this error is benign."

  • Why is Firefox much slower than other browsers.

    Using Speedtest.net I've noticed that Firefox is running at around 6meg, whereas other browsers run at the correct 20meg.
    Any ideas what could be wrong, as this never used to be the case.

    I've been doing a bit of testing. If I restart in safe mode, it works as it should, full speed. But I've tried disabling all the add-ons manually, and it's back to a third of the speed. Weird!!

  • E-mail forwards and downloads flicker and are slow to download

    Never had this problems until last night after I downloaded 4.ob12. When downloads are moved to either side for visibility, it returns to original position and the e-mail also flickers off and on--very disconcerting.
    I've also had problems when I delete e-mail. Rather than going back to the Inbox, it returns to the delete folder sometimes.
    I mainly chose 4.ob12 so I could add frequent downloads in the upper status bar, however I now learn that they are not available in 4.ob 12

    I tried the sync fix but it did not have any impact on the problem. Still struggling with freezing mail and very slow downloads. Mail coming in at about 4 kb/sec when I have a broadband connection capable of about 1 Mb/sec.
    I assume you were referring to running sync from .Mac in "System Preferences". I ran sync and left it to Synchronize with .Mac - Automatically.
    Any other thoughts?
    Regards

  • All downloads through Firefox are not opening correctly. Bookmarks open up a page with links flush left down the page that do not work. All file downloads do not open correctly with the same issue as bookmarks. Want to avoid losing all my bookmarks so don

    Something happened in the last day with FF. IE downloads files correctly. FF Delicious bookmarks open up a page with blue links that look like an outline but they are not my links. My downloads do the same. No virus.

    That can be caused by having some bookmarks with a long title in the main Bookmarks menu.
    The width of a column in the Bookmarks menu list is in current Firefox versions automatically adjusted to fit the bookmark with the longest name.
    You can check the names of the bookmarks and make the longer ones shorter.

  • Firefox loads slower than internet explorer- WHY?

    It takes twice as long to load Firefox. I took it to Best Buy to check out. They couldn't figure out. No virus.

    Firefox needs longer to startup than IE. IE is part of Windows and large parts are already loaded if Windows is started. Firefox uses XUL and JavaScript code that needs to be loaded and compile on startup and that takes longer. That is what makes Firefox configurable by extensions makers and proficient users.
    How long does it take for Firefox to start?
    A few seconds (less that 20) is quite normal for the first start, especially if you have a lot of bookmarks or history or extensions. A subsequent start should be much faster with all the files in the disk cache. There is also security software that can monitor disk access of Firefox to strictly and cause extra delays in starting.

  • Safari and Firefox much slower than my old Windows notebook

    I'm a new Mac user. I have a new MacBook late 2008, OS 10.5.8. Loading web pages is much slower on the mac than my 3 year old Windows XP machine. My former router was a LinkSys, now I have a brand new Airport Extreme.
    It works the same way on any network, home or elsewhere. I've tried fixing disk permissions. I can go to Google for example, click on a new page and wait up to 8-10 seconds for the new page to load. The bar at the bottom of the page shows activity.
    I'm using the Windows machine to surf now, until I can get this figured out.
    I'd greatly appreciate any help. My Macbook is great other than for web.
    Thank you.

    Sig and others,
    Thanks for your comments. This is getting a little scary for a rookie. Is this something I can safely do with no knowledge on networking, etc? That's kind of why I bought a mac. Is there an Apple Support document or thread that will guide a new user on this kind of issue. I'm still using the old PC laptop for web because of the speed issue.
    The support guys at the retailer are blowing me off... PC vs Mac kind of deal.
    Thanks for your help.

  • When i sync my phone with itunes some of the songs always have the sync symbol next to them and are lighter than the others and i dont know how to get rid of them. help please

    when i have synced my phone with itunes there are old songs that i dont want. these songs always have the sync sign next to them but i dont know how to get rid of them, i have event deleted them from my library, my computer and hidden them on i cloud. help please

    Settings/ Music/ Show All Music/ OFF
    There is a parallel setting in Settings/ Videos/ which also includes Videos in the cloud, as well as Settings/ iTunes & App Store/ where you can set both Music and Video preferences.  But you only need to change a setting in one location.

  • Why firefox is slower than chrome?

    I switched to chrome because of this...

    <blockquote>
    The issue may be due to the difference in the page rendering technology used by Chrome and Firefox. </blockquote>
    dileepkumars1: Mozilla uses Spidermonkey (written by Eich in 10 days!) for Firefox whilst Google uses their own V8 engine.

    Hi, sorry you're having problems with Firefox. Can you try to access Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem still exists and/or if it opens? You can follow the below instructions to start it in that mode.
    *Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
    *When Firefox closes and re-opens, select ''Start in Safe Mode''
    If Firefox works fine after starting in Safe Mode, then it's most likely one of your extensions misbehaving. You can enable your add-ons back on by one until you find the conflicting extension.

  • How do I email a voice memo without slowing down all other applications?

    I am trying to email a 1minute voice memo and it won't complete the process. It shows as sending in email but stays in the outbox all day. In the meantime, all the operations on my phone are much slower and when I charge the phone it flashes off and on, losing the charge each time. Any ideas?
    Is there another way to save my voice memo on my computer without having to email it?

    If you are just trying to find a way to get a voicememo to your own computer without emailing them, just sync them to iTunes and they will appear in the iTunes library.

  • TS1425 I cannot eject my ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc. It states some of the files are being used by other applications. What does this mean? How can I get it to eject?

    I cannot eject my new ipod classic after sync with i-tunes on my pc due, it states, to open files being used by another application. What does this mean? How can I get my ipod to eject?

    If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected.  Try ejecting again after the restart.
    If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage.  When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes.  This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
    If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.
