Fire Fox used to be so fast,since I upgraded to4 ,it is turtle slow,been waiting 10 minutes for it to load

I just turned on my lap top,15 minutes ago and fire fox still hasn't loaded,I recently upgraded to fire fox 4 and since it has been terrible.

I've posted this elsewhere but am getting not satisfaction so here goes again:
I've had this problem since Firefox 6.0 came out. I reinstalled a backup disk image file from back in June, uninstalled FF, did all the updates, installed FF 3.6.21 and everything was fine. After using it for a while, I downloaded and installed FF 6.0 and the same problem is back. When I go to various websites, part of the images on the page will load, then it stalls out. Sometimes hitting stop and refresh will help, sometimes not. I've tried various patches recommended but none do anything to help.
My system is Windows 7 Pro SP1. IE works fine. I'm really getting frustrated with this and almost ready to give up and start using Chrome.

    Just a few of the types of errors collected.
    It is getting to be a pain to have to sit and wait until it is responding again. At that point the cursor is locked on to what ever it is sitting over. You have to click on it to release it.
    Anyone have any ideas.

    Glad it is fixed. Thanks for posting back, (even if we are not sure exactly what happened).

  • I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week.  I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting.  I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails.  Any ideas?

    At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • Still not able to use fire fox, Fire fox works in safe mode but then it will freeze up and run slow when i try to use a link. All my drivers ect are up to date.

    My Fire Fox will only open in xp sp1 but then it will run slow and freeze up when i try to view a link, i have just about given up with this problem as i have tried every thing that might fix this problem.

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    If this doesnt work, may you please reply and respond with a list of things you have tried.

  • Why can't I use HP Smart Web Printing since I upgraded?

    After I upgraded Firefox, it said that you do not support HP Smart Web Printing and I guess it disabled it. I use that a lot and want it back. If I have to go back to my old version, I would do it but don't know which version to go back to.

  • My browser crashed since I upgraded to 7.0. It also takes it a lot longer to load. What's up with this?

    For no apparent reason, my browser suddenly crashed since I downloaded the 7.0 upgrade. I have also noticed that it takes longer to load my homepage, which is Facebook during my innitial startup, whenever I first turn on my tower. All of my 3rd party plugins are currently up to date. What could possibly be the proplem?

  • Since I upgraded Firefox the gold security lock symbol that shows up for internet banking, etc. has disappeared. How do I get it back. I'm nervous not seeing it there.

    the bank site does have "https//:" on it, but no security lock shows in the lower right hand corner. It always was there before.

    The Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

  • Sending mail with "sent" is fast, but copying the sent mail is very slow, sometimes takes a minute; can it be speeded up?

    After hitting "send", a screen comes up showing a moving bar "copying the mail to the sent folder", the bar goes fully right on
    the screen but then I must wait, sometimes a minute for the copying process to complete. Then I always get a screen message
    next that says in effect could not copy, so I close that screen and then go to my sent folder and the email I sent shows up. So,
    the copy process is very slow and then I get a message could not copy, but in fact a copy does appear in sent folder????
    Thank you

    You do not mention how big is the Sent folder.
    I would first try to archive a load of old sent emails. This will reduce the file size. Maybe the delay is due to a large file.
    Set up Archive Options:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages
    choose to archive by month and year and keep folder structure.
    Archive anything older than a month.

  • FIRE FOX IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER LOADING PAGES I GO TO ONLINE. IT LOAD CIRCLE STOP SPINNING AND WILL START BACK BUT IT TAKES IT'S TIME TO DO SO. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON THROUGH THE LAST SEVERAL UPGRADES.

    FIRE FOX USED TO BE A FAST BROWSER BUT IT IS GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER. THE BLUE-E IS ABOUT TO THE POINT OF BEING FASTER THEM THE FOX. I HAVE ALWAYS LIKE THE FOX, JUST WANT TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WITH IT AND THE LONGER I HAVE THE WINDOW OPEN ARE UP THE WORSE IT GETS. I DO A LOT OF GAMING ON FACEBOOK PLAYING MAFIA WARS BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST THERE IT IS ALL THE TIME AND EVERY WHERE. I HAVE TRIED ADD-ON'S THINKING THEY MAY HELP BUT NOTHING HAS DONE ANY GOOD. CHROME IS TWICE IF NOT THREE
    TIMES AS FAST AS THE FOX LATELY ON LOADING PAGES.

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa
