Firefox 3.6.3 runs slowly and hangs

Recently I started having an issue with Firefox running slowly. I upgraded to version 3.6.3 hoping this would fix the problem but it did not. I tried this suggestion from CNet - http://forums.cnet.com/5208-6136_102-0.html?threadID=242416, which seemed to help at first, but then I started having the problem again so I un-did everything suggested in the CNet link. Now in addition to Firefox running slowly (pages load slowly and it is also very slow to scroll up and down), I am having problems with it hanging when I try to move windows. For example, I play games on Pogo.com which open in a new window. When the window opens, if I click at the top of the window and try and move it to a different location on the screen, Firefox completely hangs. At first I thought maybe something was wrong with my Java, but Firefox also does this if I open Tools->Options and try to move that window. I read the "Firefox Hangs" article and the suggestions either didn't apply, or didn't work. I've disabled all my plugins and add-ons and that doesn't fix the problem. I know there is nothing wrong with my internet connection or my computer because everything works fine in Internet Explorer. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to have to go back to IE.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

My Firefox hangs I am using windows 7 and the CPU meter runs rightup into the red when I open a page and it also hangs I also get other programmes not responding (mainly Adobe stuff) not sure if this is because these programmes connect to the web when you open them . if I cant fix this I may try I E 8 but have not used internet explorer for years so dont really want to change

After installing Firefox v 22, AppleWorks runs slow and hangs up. Can I unintall v 22 and revert back to Forefox v 21?

I work on a iMac Intel Core 2 Duo - OSX 10.6.8 I rely on using AppleWorks v 6+ (Classic mode -Rosetta) I have over 3000 records in an AppleWorks data base and do not want to lose these records.
Also, I run two Operating Systems on my computer - one (OSX 10.6.8) in my internal HD, another from a 2TB external HD (also OSX 10.6.8). Although I do not recall doing so, I must have downloaded and installed Firefox v 22 on my "internal" HD. Since doing so, AppleWorks hangs up and sometimes requires me to Force Quit the App. However, when using my external HD (which still runs Firefox v 21) when I launch AppleWorks (from my Applications folder on my "Internal HD) I do not experience any problems with AppleWorks. The problem with AppleWorks hanging up or not responding, began only after installing Firefox v 22 on my internal HD. I have no idea why but Firefox v 22 is definitely causing problems with AppleWorks v 6+
Is it possible to revert back to Firefox v 21 (if I uninstall v 22)?

I 'm facing the same problem but I don't want to uninstall better to Roll back to my previous version . 'cause many plug-in ( which is most usefull and important to me ) not supported with my present version V22. like easy youtube .
I want to know what is the benefit if I don't get any better opportunity from upgrade version and also lose my previous version's facility !

MY PC IS WORKING VERY SLOWLY AND HANGING AGAIN AND AGAIN

HELLO
MY NAME IS AKSHAY RAHAR & I HAVE A HP LAPTOP (PAVILION G6 WITH 500 GB HARD DISK , 2 GB RAM , 1 GB GRAPHIC CARD ). IT IS WORKING VERY SLOWLY AND HANG UP AGAIN AND AGAIN .. I REBOOTED IT 3 TIMES BUT I'M FACING SAME PROBLEM PLZ HELP ME ....

There are many reasons why a PC " behaves" this way.
These annoying " gliches" may be caused by an overloaded hard drive, overworked CPU, Malware, running 2 AV 's, unnecessary data, Browser addons or you may have unnecessary programs running in the background etc....
What follows is a series of generic troubleshooting steps that you may care to try...
Make sure all intake/exhausts vents are clean along with all fans.
Get some temp monitoring software. Download cpu-z and gpu-z (both
free) and keep an eye on the video temps
It could be a hard drive that is going bad or corrupted.
To check a hard drive see Check Disk...
In an administrators account type cmd in search.
In cmd type sfc /scannow.
This will report and fix minor problems.
Take note of what is said at the end.
Should your computer freeze, try to do the tests in safe mode.
Go to search, type device manager and look for any yellow warning markers.
Type event viewer, in search (by start button) > Windows Logs > Application
Look for RED critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the CURRENT problem.
Note the event ID, and the source codes and Google search them.
If overclocking, restore to original.
Try in
safe mode; report back if it works properly.
Clean boot.
You may discover what is causing your problem.

Hey greytdogs,
I would give some of the suggestions in this link a shot:
OS X Mavericks: If your Mac runs slowly
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13895
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Sincerely,
Delgadoh

My MAC is running slowly and I am having to continually remove unwanted pop ups and leave unwanted pages which appear including MACkeeper. If I am on a sports website, betting pages appear - any ideas?

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

My computer is running slowly and slowly

my computer is running slowly and slowly and the sound of fan becomes louder and louder .I suspect my computer get infected by virus

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

My Mac is running slowly and having some gliches when opening programs. How can I clean up the disk to make it more efficient?

learn how to use Recovery Mode
Don't do anything until you can restore and have repaired the disk drive.
Post should get moved to either ML (10.8,.4) or iMac forum
Swap out the hdd for an SSD : )
Don't do anything to clean it up unless you don't know how to first remove browser history from within the programs; low on disk space (I consider more than even the 15% minimum, more like 3--40%)
And do you have page outs? more than enough RAM? what actually leads you to ask? Programs aren't opening properly?
Sometimes it is easier to take the long road: just reinstall and restore.

Hey I have a toshiba laptop and I cannot install firefox because the laptop runs android and there's only version for linux...and if u can tell me how to install adobe flash player too...Any advices??

This is a known problem, but we don't have a solution for it. If your device has the Toshiba Market app, you might be able to download a (possibly outdated) version of Firefox from there.

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7-8 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7-8 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Adobe Flash Plug In keeps crashing, extension runs slowly and have to abort script on Pandora Radio website.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76. Signature : hang | mozilla::plugins::PPluginInstanceParent::CallNPP_Destroy(short*). Plug In regularly crashes AND I get Error message "Script in this movie causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.Do you want to abort the script?" Attempts to download plug in update get Adobe Download Manager but no resolution to problem. Should I disable hang protection? Uninstall DLM?

(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

The FireFox Browser loads itself very slowly and makes me wonder if it is loading at all. Is there something that can be done to speed up the FF Browser loading?

FF Browser 5 loads itself very slowly and takes so long with no sign that it is loading that many times I will click it again and later find that it has loaded itself twice.
Is there anything that I can do to speed the start-up of this browser?
It seems that if there is not a way to load this browser faster that FireFox would make an add on that would show us that the Browser is in process of loading at the very least. Thank you for your kindness in any way for help in this regard. Best Regards
Sincerely Walt

Or were you referring to the one in the old temporary replacement device? Would that even be compatible with the newer phones?
The one that wasn't working had a 4G LTE SIM card in it. It should have usable in the replacement Razr. It was only until I read the OP a third time this morning that there might be a third device involved. It would be nice if people would give more specifics on what devices are active at what time. Then the readers of this community can follow the progression of the events better.

Leopard Suddenly Running Slowly and Need Help

Hi there. I have been a Mac user (and Mac support person at work) for many years. I've recently run into a problem that I'd like some help with.
I have an iMac that I bought 4 months ago, and I upgraded to Leopard and then put 10.5.1 update onto it.
Nothing of any note has occurred with my computer in the last 2 days, however, 2 days ago, every application started running very slowly. I click on the HD icon, and the spinning color cursor spins for 30-40 seconds before the HD opens. I click in the bottom tray to open Safari, and it takes 40-50 seconds for it to open (as the color cursor spins away). I reboot, and the iMac comes up with the front white/gray screen and holds with the spinning circle for anywhere from 20 to 45 MINUTES before going to the desktop. I have reinstalled Leopard (telling it to Archive and Install). Same problems abound. I ran Tech Tool, and it says everything is fine. I started up from the Leopard install DVD and ran Disk Utility. Checking the progress log, it tells me that the HD cannot be unmounted (meantime, I've booted from the DVD and nothing else is attached or running). When I select "Repair Disk" in Disk Utility, I get an immediate message that the HD cannot be unmounted.
What does this sound like? A hard drive failure? Will completely erasing my HD and installing Leopard from scratch (as opposed to installing Tiger and upgrading to Leopard) help? Or am I merely band-aiding the problem and need to take it in for qualified Apple Tech support?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the Apple forums.
I would run DU and check the disk and the permissions.
If necessary use DiskWarrior
You might also zap the PRAM and NV-RAM.
Check the console log, other logs and of course the activity monitor.
If it is noticeably slower, what is causing it should be rather obvious.
It could be a failing drive that is being re-read multiple times to extract data from a bad block/sector.
Be sure you have everything backed up. !!!

HT1338 My Macbook Pro is running slowly and Safari keeps locking up. What can I do to fix it?

My Macbook Pro has been running slowly for several weeks. Safari keeps locking up and I have to Force Quit. It is very frustrating because it has always worked so well. My software is all up to date and I'm not using anything big - normally just Safari, Word, Excel or Powerpoint. Is there something I can do to clean it up or fix it?
Thanks!

It would of had to be a very powerful magnet to damage, actually erase, the hard drive. That is the only thing that would cause it from starting up, a magnet powerful enough to erase part of the data on the drive. Hard drives are also shielded to some degree to prevent this from happening. If this particular mac was running lion or mountain lion try booting to the Recovery HD, hold down the command+r keys at startup. If that doesn't work try command+option+r key and hold those down until you see a globe on the screen. That will boot the system from over the internet from the Apple servers using the online recovery system. That is if the system can use the online recovery system. Only systems newer then late 2011 model can use it. From either type of boot try to repair the drive using disk utility. If that fails then you will need to reinstall OS X on the system.
I doubt the magnet cause any physical damage to the hardware in the system. So once you repair the drive or reinstall the OS the system should start working again.
