Edit Bookmarks - very slow response - why???

When I add new OR edit bookmarks --no matter from where in firefox
e.g.
1 from Add bookmark -- , click add new folder, or change a folder name, then add the bookmark
2 from Addbookmark -- scroll up to the folder I want to insert the bookmark for
3 from bookmark SIDEBAR - cmd B - drag and drop a bookmark
4 from Show all bookmarks -- drag and drop
there is such a delay like 5-50sec, that I think Firefox has not done what I requested, so I re-key and then it all gets messed up.
this has been long standing issue.
no improvement since upgrade Firefox 11
any ideas????

  • Very slow response when I click on a link, but almost instant response if I go back and click a second time.

    I often get very slow response when I click on a link, any link. But if I go back and click on the link again, then the page will open almost immediately. I discovered this by accident and noticed that this happens every time. It would be nice if I got fast response on the first click without having to do this silly procedure and it seems to me that there's a simple fix. I would appreciate it if you could help. I'm open to any and all ideas. Thanks again.
    Sincerely,

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • VERY Slow Responses in iTunes When Deleting

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me with a problem of VERY slow responses in iTunes when I try to delete or amend track information. For example when I click on delete it can take several seconds or more to respond and again when I confirm the deletion or amendment.
    I have had this problem for some time now and still occurs after a full re-install of the operating system (Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerMac Quad processor and iTunes 10.6.3) All the remaining applications work fine just as they should do.
    Blackrockguy

    Does anyone have an answer for this question? Is there perhaps some outside plug-in that can help?

  • Very slow response, stopping for seconds in the middle of typing an email

    I'm having very slow response time with Firefox, so much so that I've switched to IE (gasp!). It'll stop suddenly for several seconds in the middle of typing an email and I have to wait to start typing again. Websites are timing out or just taking a very long time to respond after clicking on something. Yahoo in particular is extremely slow.

    For me, I think the "Skype Click to Call 5.11.0.9874" addon was causing the slow response. Once I disabled this addon Firefox was responding normally.

  • Firefox 4.0.1 is constantly freezing, having to reboot constantly, and not responding to key strokes, and very slow responses to keys strokes and to change sites

    firefox 4.0.1 is constantly freezing, having to reboot constantly, and not responding to key strokes, and very slow responses to keys strokes and to change sites. Firefox 3. (the previous incarnation of firefox) did not have such problems - this has started since "upgrading to 4.0.1 - I want to change back to the previous Firefox since this is a serious problem - need specific instructions on how to go back to the old Firefox

    Do you have multiple keyboard layouts installed?
    It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
    * http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258824 - How to change your keyboard layout
    Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application and you may have changed the keyboard layout by accident via a keyboard shortcut.
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
    * Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar
    * You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar
    * Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar
    * You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application

  • Editing sliders very slow & jerky.......

    I finally received my replacement ADS Pyro, so now I can start recording video again. The problem is that when I go to edit in iMovie HD, the editing sliders won't keep up with my mouse, as well as being very jerky & slow (if I move the upper single slider, things go very smoothly). Is this a known issue with Leopard?? I never had anything even remotely like this happen with Tiger. I need to have smooth operation when I go to edit, as the slow, jerky motions are extremely annoying. My machine is definitely up to the task as far as power & RAM go. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I do know about the precision editing, but getting the sliders to the points that I want to edit was very slow & jerky (once the sliders were in the vicinity, the precision editing worked fine). I have changed some settings, as well as making some adjustments, & it seems to be working now. I will try it again on a couple of other projects just to be sure.

  • Bex input help (F4) very slow response times

    When running queries on some of our InfoCubes or ODSs (in 3.5 of 2004s) we are getting a very slow response when using the Input Help (F4) option.  We have looked at the article the Nov/Dec 2004 BW Expert and the following SAP Notes 626887, 661251, 626887, 817335, 567746, 581802 and 748623. None of these are of much help.  We did not seem to have this problem before the upgrade to 2004s.
    Anyone have any other ideas?  The users are wanting it fixed.

    F4 help behaviour has changed in 04s 3.5 web run time.
    See attached thread for a solution (not very helpful in some cases.).

  • New OIF installation - Very slow response from OHS

    Hi,
    I've installed two instances of OIF 10.1.4.0.1 in order to create a test configuration to test XASP Attribute Sharing (i.e., we are not doing any other profiles).
    Both OIF instances are using a separate instance of Sun Directory Server as its User Data Store, and both are using in-memory for Transient Data Store and have no Federation Data Store. Both OIF instances were installed similarly, using the "BASIC" installation choices, and are running on separate Redhat Linux servers.
    The problem that we're seeing is very slow (10+ seconds to 30+ seconds) responses, even when we try to access a static HTML test page that we've placed in the OHS htdocs directory.
    We've eliminated any networking problems as possibilities by a couple of tests that we've done, including shutting down the OHS and running a small, different test web server listening on port 7777. When we do that, response time for requests from that web server is almost instantaneous.
    We are also seeing the same slow response when we try to access the test HTML page from the same server itself.
    We have an SR open with Oracle, but so far, we've not been able to identify what the problem might be, so I'm hoping that perhaps someone else may have encountered this problem and have a resolution.
    It is really puzzling because, as I said, this is a pretty vanilla default OIF installation, and it is doubly puzzling because even getting a tiny static HTML page is taking 10+ seconds. Also, I had installed OIF 10.1.4.0.1 on a Windows machine previously, and I don't see this problem on that earlier installation.
    If anyone here has any insight into this problem, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Hi,
    I think I was able to temporarily eliminate this slow response problem. I think that the slow response problem is related to another problem that I posted about in the "Application Server - General" forum (see below, and Port 7200 conflict?
    Jim
    ======= POSTED to Application Server - General forum ============
    I think that I was able to temporarily work around this problem, plus another problem that I think is related (see: New OIF installation - Very slow response from OHS
    What I did was to just comment out the "include" line for "dms.conf" in the Apache httpd.conf.
    Doing that got rid of the "Address already in use" errors I was seeing in Apache error_log and also eliminated the slow response I was seeing from Apache/OHS (see that other post in "Identity Management" forum), BUT I am getting new errors about Apache not being able to find "htdocs/dms/Spy0".
    I have the impression that dms is some kind of process monitoring system that Oracle has in 10gAS infrastructure? So, I have some questions:
    1) What's the effect of dms not working?
    2) Is it possible to just disable dms?
    I hope that Oracle support can come up with a "real" fix for both problems, but in the meantime, as long as what I did doesn't break anything else besides dms, we can at least test the OIF stuff.

  • Random users getting very slow response when opening messages/attachments or sending email

    I have a small number of users, mostly very senior management of course, who are experiencing slow response when trying to open email messages and attachments or send messages.
    They see the spinning wheel and sit there until it decides to open or send. If the message is opened  and closed again you would expect it to be quick reopening the same message, no, it does the same thing again.
    These users are all using Outlook 2010 and their mail accounts are on Exchange 2013. It does not seem to make a difference if they use a physical machine or log into a VDI.
    I do not have the same issue generally, though I have experienced this when using VDI and this has been seen using a number of different machine pools so it is not a specific pool.
    This is not specifically a VDI issue, as the 3rd paragraph says, the issues are seen on both physical and virtual machines.
    none of the mailboxes are particularly large, most are at around 60% of quota limit, and the same limit applies to almost all mailboxes across the organization. They also do not appear to have a huge number of messages stored, other users without issues
    have larger mailboxes and higher item counts. Any ideas what I need to look at to address this?

    Hi,
    How about OWA?
    If OWA works well, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
    Please try to run Outlook under safe mode and re-create profile for testing.
    Any related error/warning/information message left in App Log?
    Also consider the network Bandwidth.
    Thanks

  • Very slow start up and very slow response

    Hi guys,
    SOS
    My iMac is so slow to boot or start up. It takes about an 1-2 hours. It has very slow and very delayed response when doing tasks. I'm not sure what happened.
    I have tried safe mode but it has not worked. I tried the disk utility but it was saying that my DVD (possibly because it is for snow leopard)  is outdated. I think I updated to Lion.
    Do you have any suggestions? I will try any other tricks. Do you recommend to back up before doing repair etc.?
    thanks in advance!!

    Tried to reset the RAM but did not get through. It went to disk utility again. Tried repair but it still saying to back up and restore files. Maybe the HD has been toasted. =(...
    It says: Invalid key lenght. Volume Mac HD could not be verifried completely.. then it says Error: disk utilityu can't repair close back disk out, restoere etc..
    In disk utillity as well, Mac OS X base system appeared- I dont know the purpose of this. It has some files on it. Dont know whether to restore it or what?..Mac HD seems like the it's empty..
    Thanks again guys...It feels like I'm in a maze..

  • Firefox 5 if installed, gmail becomes very slow. Why?

    I was installed fire fox 5. But my G mail was running very slow. Also browsing speed was slower down. so again i installed the previous version of fire fox. Why fire fox 5 is not running with Google search engine?

    Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker.

  • IOS 6 is very slow. Why!!! Can u fix that apple?

    I have downloaded iOS 6 on the day it release and I have trouble with opening gmail on my iPhone and iOS 6 is very slow. I don't know what wrong with that. Did anyone know about it.

    Try some basic troubleshooting steps. Clear Safari, force close the app and reset the iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    In order to close apps in iOS 8, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    There re are ways to contact Apple directly. Look here for help.

  • New iMac very slow? why?

    Hi,
    I have recently bought brand new iMac 21,5" 2,7 Ghz i5 with 8GB ram and 1 TB memory. I have transfered all data from Time Machine backup. And my computer is very very slow with apps, expecialy when it wakes up from sleep. I turn on safari, illustrator and photoshop and it takes 10 minutes to became normal. If I open mail it is very very slow. Also, twitter app. I don't know where the problem is. It is brand new computer. It has all the power. I have checked "verify disk" and everything is ok. I have repaired all permissions, and still nothing. iPhoto is extremely slow but its just iPhoto, very bad program.
    But after 5-10 minutes after wakeup iMac starts to behave normal. When Photoshop is turned on (after 5-10 min) it starts to act normal. Sometimes excel doesn't won't to turn on. Mouse icon turns rainbow circle and nothing. I force quit it and start again and after 2-3 minutes it opens.
    Does anybody have an idea what should i do?
