Extremely slow in every way. Typing, loading, moving and even just scrolling from the top of the page to the bottom. Keeps getting worse. Maddingly frustrating!!! Help!!

Firefox has gotten extremely slow. Typing, loading, searching, even just scrolling from the top of a page to the bottom. My daughter had the same thing happen to her and had to get her computer stripped down and completely reloaded. I don't have that option. It has no viruses and has been completely freed of all things that could slow it down.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a month ago. It is getting worse.

Hmm... try downloading the [http://www.firefox.com latest] version... but if that doesn't work then try [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Not sure what could be causing it...

  • I am trying to load Firefox Sync but I do not have a Firefox button at the top of my page. How do I get to options?

    I want to load current bookmarks to a new computer and then have those bookmarks available on multiple computers. I've read the tutorial on Firefox Sync, but I do not see a Firefox button on my page. How do I get to options?

    Never mind. Found it. I did not have my menu toolbar clicked when I installed the new version.

  • Ever since updating my iPad with the iOS 8 and 8.0.2 it has been much slower in every way. Any suggestions besides restoring to last iOS?

    Hi Arianelleangel,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  If you are having issues trying to update your Aunt's iPad, the troubleshooting steps below may help:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update - Apple Support
    Update does not complete
    If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
    When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
    If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

    Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

    Then your basic issues are: too little RAM, incompatible software, dysfunctional installation.
    Add more RAM or kill as many programs that you use until the computer is running normally.
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps. Upgrade any old software.
    Reinstall OS X:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.

  • In OS X Mavericks using Safari, the search bar at the top that i had on the previous system disappears only reappearing in the full screen. Do i have to go into full screen every time? Bit of a pain but no doubt I'm doing something wrong!

    In OS X Mavericks using Safari, the search bar at the top that i had on the previous system version disappears only reappearing in the full screen. Do i have to go into full screen every time? Bit of a pain but no doubt I'm doing something wrong!

    Those are all fine
    Here is how to see RAM overloaded…
    Reboot to see the system in it's default state.
    Open TextEdit for the sake of it
    Open Activity Monitor & Terminal from /Applications/Utilities.
    Select the Memory tab
    In Terminal enter the following command
    memory_pressure -l critical
    # note that is a lowercase L
    RAM usage will climb, compression will begin the VM will become way more than the system has installed.
    Eventually the system will start swapping  (look for RED) - Watch the 'memory pressure' & 'Swap used' as this happens.
    Try switching to TextEdit - the system is still coping !
    Switch back to Terminal & hit ctrl+c to stop the process.
    Watch the VM & memory pressure return to normal levels.
    This OS kicks 4ss !
    Your problems may lie elsewhere

  • After moving from Canada to the US, getting a new iPhone 5C, and restoring my backup from iCloud, I can't update my apps. I get an error message that my account is not valid in the Canadian App store and I must change to the US store. How do I do that?

    After moving from Canada to the US, getting a new iPhone 5C, and restoring my backup from iCloud, I can't update my apps. I get an error message that my account is not valid in the Canadian App store and I must change to the US store. How do I do that?

    Change here:

    You must have a verified billing address & be located in the country whose store you are trying to use.

  • Is there any way to insert a pop up calender and tick boxes into pages on the ipad? And if not if I do it on a mac will the document work on pages on the ipad?

    Is there any way to insert a pop up calender and tick boxes into pages on the ipad? And if not if I do it on a mac will the document work on pages on the ipad? I'm trying to set up a document with quick check boxes to tick and a date to choose rather than type? I know it possible to do it on pages on a mac but i haven't been able to find anything on the ipad to create such a thing, and I don't know if it will work on the ipad if I create it on the mac

    RGA,
    Unfortunately, I do not believe that it is possible for a DAQ board to generate an AI Start Trigger from an analog trigger, but not be triggered itself until it receives a digital trigger.

    if your Mac is still in warranty, then you should contact the Argentinian technical support service. If it is out of warranty, then we can try to lend a hand. (We’re just fellow Apple product users here.)

    Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

    When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

  • HT1879 What happened to the power search option?  Has it been deleted or moved and I just can't find it.

    What happened to the power search option?  Has it been deleted or has it been moved and I just can't find it.

    you haven't lost anything, it's virtually impossible to delete your Zotero library by accident.
    You may just need to show your add-on bar (View --> Toolbars ---> Add on Bar).
    To check if Zotero is disabled, go to Tools--> Add-ons --> Extensions.
    Make sure to check for Zotero updates, you may need the newest version (2.1.10) for FF6 compatibility.
    As a general piece of advice, if technical problems make you frantic, don't perform major software upgrades in the middle of a project. Also, support for Zotero is better on the Zotero forums than here.
