Firefox 3.6.8 hangs/extremely slow in Win 7
When the desktop icon is selected, Firefox is extremely slow coming up. When any icon such as help or add-ons is selected it is very slow to respond. Everything in the browser is frozen for a period of time.
Thanks for your response.
I have tried all the solutions from MJB's post. I have also tried Firefox in Safe Mode. Same problem. With the same add ons, I had no problems 2 versions back... the previous version had the issue of far too much memory usage, but this version 3.6.8 has the memory problem and the incessant hanging/freezing.
fyi, my laptop is dual core, windows 7, w/ 3 gb memory.

Hi!
I have a short PPro project that I am trying to render, only 5 min long. The project consists of WMV files, WAV audio files, and that's it. I am exporting to AME in the "Youtube Widescreen HD" format. However, AME takes its time when loading. It hangs at "Loading 'projectname.pproj'". Then, after about 5-10 minutes, it will hang at the encoding stage, showing 00:00:00 for the elapsed time and _:_:_ for the estimated remaining. Once, the video did begin to encode, but it hung on 00:00:43 and refused to continue encoding.
I have never had a problem like this before.
I then tried creating a new project and exported a short sequence consisting of only one video to see if I would have the same problem. I did not; the project loaded and encoded in a timely manner in AME.
After that, I tried to import the project into another Premiere project and then export, to see if that would do anything. It didn't help, and I still experienced the same problem as before.
Everything is stored on my C:/ drive.
What I have been staring at for about an hour now.

Well... that is not good... you need at least two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition) with OS and software on your boot drive and video files on the 2nd drive
My 3 hard drives are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
1 - 320G WD Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320G WD Win7 swap file and video project files
3 - 1T WD all video files... input & write files
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows swap file
http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for easy video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is now slowed down by trying to do everything
I find that the three drives I use works very well for me, for editing AVCHD video
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for video editing
Steve Grisetti in the Premiere Elements forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856208?tstart=0 and Jim Simon in the Premiere Pro forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/856433?tstart=0 use USB externals for editing
A USB3 hard drive connected to a motherboard with USB3 is supposed to be fast enough for video editing (I don't have such, so don't know) but eSata DOES have a fast enough data transfer for video editing... I have not used this eSata Dock... for reference only, YMMV and all the usual disclaimers

T42 hangs, extremely slow performance
Hello,
I can boot up my T42, but it works very slowly. In safe mode with networking, it works great. I have automatic updates turned on, but it cannot successfully download updates. It still has service pack 2. Not sure if that's related to slow performance.Hello,

T42 hangs, extremely slow performance
I have a T42 that I no longer use, but I would like to have for occasional web browsing and e-mail. It currently operates very slowly, and after maximizing memory and trying several different solutions, I would like to just wipe the machine clean and re-install the Windows XP Professional and MS Office.
Can someone recommend the easiest way to do this? I have the XP OS CD and Office s/w. What will I need to have/do re: other things like wireless and network connections (drivers?), etc., etc.
Thank you!thank you again for your answer,
I've done that but hard drive health is also ok as you can see from the screenshot.
IAt the time of the screenshot I had just fineshed to boot up the laptop and it wasnt hot at all.
I am getting desperate here, I am unable to work with my T410s

Thank you

Reader 11.0.2 extremely slow on Win 8 Pro x64
I have a Core i7 quad-core with 8Gb of ram and a hybrid ssd/hdd 750Gb drive. My computer is quite speedy with everthing _except_ adobe reader. 50% of the time when I try to open a .pdf of various sizes (from 300Kb to 300Mb) the file just never opens at all, and I have to open task manager and kill the adobe process and try it all over. When it does open, a 500Kb file will take about 90 seconds to open, if you want to scroll down? that's another 90 seconds. Want to close Adobe Reader, you guessed it, another 90 seconds go by, if it doesn't completely freeze.
I've reinstalled twice. I even used Revo Uninstalller to really remove Adobe Reader and then re-install. Same slower than molasses in January going uphill on a cold day result.
I do not have 3rd party Anti-Virus as Windows 8 has it's Defender renamed Security Essentials re-renamed Defender.
PC Specs:
HP ProBook 4530s
Intel Core i7 2630QM Sandy Bridge 2.00 GHz Quad core, with Hyperthreading (8 Logical Threads)
8.00 GB of DDR3-1333 Dual Channel
Seagate Momentus XT SATA 6.0Gb/s Solid State Hybrid Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6490M discrete graphics
Windows 8 Professional x64 (clean install, MS Technet)
Please Advise.I came looking for an answer to the same problem.
Ever since the recent upgrade to Acrobat Reader 11.0.2 the program has been unsually slow off and on.
Mine isn't as bad as PhlMike17's, but I too am running a quad core with 8gigs windows pro x64 up to date, I use mostly for Illustrator and Photoshop/web design.
This morning I checked back to a 275kb 1page pdf image copy of an estimate from a partner company, and it loaded then hung for 5-10 seconds as has been the norm since upgrading.
Sometimes it doesn't hang at all, file size doesn't seem to be an issue.
I always do the upgrades.
I am running the Japanese version.
cheers. -
Firefox runs extremely slow on 64 bit PC it takes forever to open bookmarks and also hangs when I try to open anything within firefox I have used firefox since it started on 32 bit systems until I installed it on my 64 bit a week ago and have had this problem and others since, are we going to get a 64 bit firefox
Thanks for getting back to me Dave!
The file is about 91 MB in size, with just under 400 scanned pages.
I’ve also encountered the problem when I’ve tried to OCR one of these old books. I’ve had to do it 50-100 pages at a time, closing and re-opening the file each time.
Based on my online search for a solution, I had concluded that the 2 GB limit for 32-bit programs was the most likely source of the problem. But I’m wondering now if Acrobat could use 2 GB in processing a 91 MB file. -
I upgraded to version 4 last week and find it extremely slow compared to the previous version - like so slow that some pages do not even load. I have downloaded and gone back to version 3.6.17 and everything is back to the normal I have known for years with Firefox and it is really fast again...so now I know that there is nothing wrong with my computer and that the supposedly very very fast version 4 is much much slower than the previous version 3.6...so what gives? I'm not keen on going back to the new improved version 4, though I know it will not be supported soon...anyone else having the same issue?
Having the exact same problem here.
-Mac OSX
-3.6 worked great
-I tried the 4 beta, got rid of it because it was so slow
-When it upgraded to 4 is VERY slow and freezes often
-Appears especially slow on sites with flash (ie http://www.bbc.co.uk/news) -
The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?
Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Extremely slow Safari, Mail, Firefox,etc.
I have been experiencing an extremely slow computer. Safari, Apple Mail, Firefox, Apple App store, iTunes store, any app the requires the internet. Sometimes it takes Google.com 30 seconds to load. Apple Mail routinely times out. After loading a web page and then selecting the back button, it takes over 30 seconds to reload the previous page. I have turned off iCloud.
I contacted my ISP, two service calls to check the line and they replaced the cable modem. The results from Speedtest.net were +25Mbps download so their advice was to call Apple.
I have been getting a Recoverd files folder in the trash when I start up the compter. Activity monitor only shows, activity in Finder, Firefox, and Acitvity Monitor, so nothing else is running in the background.
Any suggestions? Have I missed something?
Should I do a Clean Install?
iMac, 27 inch, 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 8GB memory, Mac OS 10.8.2
Thank you.Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
From the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, reboot as usual and post the results. -
Firefox is extremely slow to shutdown
For me this a very annoying problem!
Firefox is '''extremely slow''' to shutdown, and I can't imagine what is it doing for so long after I have closed all frames and windows (note that I am '''not '''requesting to save the session).
I tried the solutions posted in older posts (https://support.mozilla.com/it/questions/809195) with no effect. The only add-ons that I have active are the Norton tools (I have Norton Internet Security 2011) and NoScript, plus sometimes Downloadhelper,
but I tried to disable everything and the problem remains, so it's something in the Firefox core.
After a short navigation the delay in closing Firefox is tolerable, but after having surfed the net for a while the delay may get huge, like 5' or even 10'! It's incredible!
The process monitor displays a firefox process taking a lot of memory (> 500 MB sometimes) and many plugin-container processes that also take a long time to close.
Before shutting down firefox requests even more memory, so that the allocated memory has a peak, then it finally drops.
Another strange thing is that if I kill the firefox process I get the memory quickly freed without any apparent damage, so what?
This problem has showed up with the latest versions of Firefox (4 and 5), I don't remember such a behavior one year ago or more.
I would appreciate very much some help and insight from someone of the developers, as well as feedback from other users, of course.Are you using Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Cookies</i> when you close Firefox?
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
That can cause plugin-container processes to appear that Firefox opens to clear cookies from plugins. -
IPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks extremely slow and hangs
I upgraded to Mavericks and bought iPhoto 9.5.1 upgrade from the app store. Now, iPhoto is extremely slow in loading thumbnails. Once it loads a page or two, then it is fast to scroll the thumbnails it has already loaded, but as you go further back in time, it needs to load all the thumbnails. It eventually hangs. When I reboot the application, it doesn't remember the previous thumbnails and is again extremely slow. This version is way to slow to use and is actually unusable. It also doesn't show any faces in the face collection frames, and when you click on them, it opens up blank outlines, then when you click on these, it brings up the original photo with all the faces named. So the faces feature has major issues as well.
I never had any problem with the previous version of iPhoto. I am using a mid-2010 macbook pro with 8 g of ram. Anyone else have this problem and is Apple aware of the problems with this version?
Thanks.Where is your iPhoto Library stored? Have you tried rebuilding the Library?

Why is firefox becoming extremely slow or stuck when choosing a website in win 7 64-bit pro?
when starting a new website from search or bookmarks it starts with connecting and collecting data from the requested website but it get stuck or is extremely slow. One solution is to click update button several times. Is there a way to solve this problem? I have tested both stable firefox 6 and firefox 7 beta. This is not happening in win xp pro or other windows xp versions. Internet explorer (64-bit) is working fine, but I want to use firefox.
Oh just so no one is confused I did not create this question on the actual laptop I am talking about (thats why it says my OS is XP)

My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. Sometimes it never gets past the background of the homepage, desktop doesn't seem to load. After multiple forced shut downs and left to run for hours, sometimes the desktop loads but the dock does not respond when applications are opened. The computer is then unable to shut down normally. Forced shut downs are necessary most times. Time machine backup takes extremely long, and attempts to use the time machine to bring the laptop back to the time befiore the problem arose was met with extremely slow and hung time machine function.
Please help!There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.
