Firefox 22 running very slow on windows 7 but no problem in linux. Help

Firefox 22 is running very slow ( rather stalling forever) on windows 7.
I tried resetting option from the "Troubleshooting information" menu and also tried disabling "Hardware acceleration" but still having the problem.
Takes almost a minute ( "New window not responding"..) just to try any option..like opening a new tab.
I have same version on linux mint and but FF runs smoothly.

Sorry, not an option. As I said, I have binned FF22 and gone back to 21 -- and it works just as fast as it always did, corrupt profile or no corrupt profile.

  • Latest update has my safari/firefox running very slow

    I did the latest software update Monday night, and now my safari and firefox are very slow to load. I have raised the memory storage to 100 MB, tried the proxy thing (didn't work, so I put it back to where it was), tried clearing the cache, and I don't know what to do. I have a router with specific numbers, so I can't change that on the TCP thing.
    Please help.

    I added the DNS numbers and safari is working, but what about my slow Firefox?
    Your system uses DNS for its internet connection, so if it helps Safari it should have the same effect on Firefox. If Firefox is having problems when Safari is not, that's a problem specific to that program and you might want to pursue that on the forums dedicated to its support.

  • Why is iTunesU running very slow on Windows 7?

    iTunesU is running very slowly on machines using Windows 7 and iTunes 10. It works fine on Windows XP withe iTunes 10. Why is it slow in iTunes 10 and Windows 7?

    Yes. It does seem to be specific to 10.2.2  Other versions are working fine. In windows XP 10.2.2 has not given me any problems. But on Windows 7 it appears to be frozen for about 5 minutes then it starts working but it still lags. Are you Apple people going to address this? Is this something that can be fixed with another update?

  • FireFox runs very slow on Ultra 10

    I have the newest version of Firefox ("Minefield") which runs extemely slow on Sun Ultra 10 with Solaris 10 on it with 512MB of RAM.
    Any idea why that is? Should I patch it? Or install another browser?
    Is it a hardware or software issue?

    We still don't know how fast your U-10's cpu might be.
    It's fastest processor was a 440MHz single-core SPARC-II module.
    The SLOWEST Ultra-20 m2 system is a 1.8GHz dual-core x86 platform module.
    ... at least 4+ times faster on single threaded processes and about 9 times faster on multi-core-aware processes.
    In a past incarnation, when I was a TSE for Sun, I had a 360MHz Ultra-5 on my desk, then the company upgraded us in the Support Center to 500MHz Sunblade 100 systems.
    I used Solaris 7 and 8 on the Ultra-5 and I used Solaris 8 and 9 on the SB100.
    Every newer OS environment placed a bigger and bigger graphics burden on those systems. It was a noticeable "downgrade". (The other aspects of those OS's were great, however.) I pointedly only ran CDE on my system.
    A web browser application is imminently graphics intensive as it draws every page. I have a fond memory of the U-5, U-10, and SB100. They were great for their time but I wouldn't expect them to be productive to the same level on today's newer applications. Their respective system busses were conventional 33MHz PCI. They used slower disk drives on ATA-33 controllers. They all used onboard ATI Rage graphics chipsets and additional framebuffers were 2D cards, not good 3D cards.
    Perhaps this is a comparison of "apples and oranges"?

  • In my computer firefox running very slow, i feel hurt, please guide me how make fast firefox ?

    in my computer Firefox all additions i have tried and all additions working very slow. if no solution for make fast Firefox browser in my computer then i will remove Firefox from my computer.

    You are using beta software and shouldn't expect that everything works as smoothly as with an official release.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Flash player games runs very slow on Windows XP SP3

    Hi to all.
    I have problems with flash games and some advanced flash applications.
    Problems occurs regardless of browser.
    My computer is next:
    CPU: 2.8GHz hyper thread
    RAM: 1.5 GB (3 pieces)
    GPU: Nvidia 7600 GS Gigabyte.
    When it runs some flash game e.g. Facebook Pet Society, CPU load goes high as 80 to 100 %. It is very annoying thing since I am starting to loose my mind how to solve this.
    All other applications are running very good. This means games, 720p HD videos etc etc.
    It is not virus problem, since I have installed new fresh system.
    Thanks in advance.
    I need your help with this very very much.

    Please, move this topic to flash player subforum. I have placed it here by mistake.

  • Illustrator CC running very slow on Windows 7 PC

    Hi there,
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit with an Intel core i7 4790K with 8 GIG of high speed Dominator DDR3 RAM and I've got two GPUs (AMD R9 290 4GB) but since I've started working on this PC from home I've noticed how poor Illustrator runs. I bring in some texture layers from my stock files (which ive used for years) and illustrator just comes to a halt. It takes like 5 minutes to move a layer around.. yet my CPU usage doesn't hit over 10% and memory used is 4GB out of 8GB. I'm very confused with such a high spec PC, how illustrator is struggling to perform basic operations.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi fiegan,
    Can you please tell us more about how are you installing it? Via Creative Cloud application or Illustrator separately ? What is your netwrok speed etc.
    Sanjay.

  • Why is Thunderbird running very slow on Windows 7 CAUSE: McAfee

    Installed Thunderbird ver 31.6.0 on my desktop Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 32bit, 4G ram, Intel i5 2.66 GHz,
    a few months ago and it ran great at first.
    Now that I've used it awhile it has slowed down considerably.
    All functions of Thunderbird are slow, clicking to highlight a group of messages, deleting even just a single message, opening a message, etc.
    It has compacted the folders several times, and I do not have a large number of stored messages (maybe total of all folders including trash, spam, sent, etc is around 500).
    I am running McAfee Anit-Virus which does scan email attachments.
    Has there been reports of slow performance with Thunderbird on Win7?
    Perhaps my problem is caused by McAfee?
    Thoughts, suggestions are welcomed,
    Thank you,
    Ken

  • The first time I start Firefox it is very slow coming up but after it is up and I want another window it fast again. What do I need to do to clean out whatever is clogging it up.

    Question
    The first time I start Firefox it is very slow coming up but after it is up and I want another window it fast again. What do I need to do to clean out whatever is clogging it up. edit

    * The first time you start up any application after turning on your computer is called a cold start, which is why Firefox takes a while to load right away. (I've noticed that future versions of Firefox start up faster on a cold start then Firefox 5.0.1.) Also, a lower amount of RAM could be slowing its start-up down since Firefox is kind of memory hungry.
    * As for the second part of your question, press ctrl,Alt, and the delete keys on your keyboard. The Windows Task Manager should start. Go to the processes tab and look for 'firefox.exe'. Right click on the firefox.exe and click 'End Process'. Hit Yes and wait for a minute.
    * Then opening Firefox again.
    Hopefully this helped somewhat!

  • Firefox maxing my cpu and runs VERY slow i have reset firefox and re installed it, diddnt work

    firefox maxing my cpu and runs VERY slow i have reset firefox and re installed it, diddnt work i have googles searched about it and tryed so manny things to fix it but nothing works this is my last idea posting here

    Did you do a clean reinstall and deleted the Firefox program folder?
    *(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
    *(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

    RE: "P.S. I  found it aggravating that I couldn't copy and paste text  here, it wanted me to insert as a link or an image, how do you insert plain  text?"
    I take it you tried using the "right click" menu?   That doesn't seem to work, as you noted, but, you should be able to paste text by pressing your CTRL key  and while holding it down, press the "V" letter  key.
    CTRL + C = COPY
    CTRL + X = CUT
    CTRL + V = PASTE
