Firefox 4.0 freezes, crashes, closes, changes screens, does not respond, and runs 8X SLOWER than 3.6.

Firefox 4.0 is the WORST browser I have ever seen. It freezes, crashes, closes, changes screens, does not respond, and runs 8X SLOWER than 3.6. Tasks I used to do in 30 minutes, now takes me 40 minutes or more. I went back to 3.6 and immediately had a tremendous improvement.
Mozilla needs to get rid of this load of lies about a new crap program, and go back to the 3.6 version. Version 4.0 is WORST than any other program I have ever seen.

The slow / hesitant scrolling problem seems to be an artifact of the database Firefox uses to keep track of where you go, what you do, etc. It uses sqlite databases which get fragmented over time.
There are several fixes:
Some are add-ons and work internally, such as Vacuum Places (search the addons for it).
Some are external. Speedyfox is one I just tried, and found to work quite well. I think it did a better job than Vacuum Places, but requires Firefox to be shut down before it can work properly.
Find Speedyfox using a web search.

New ipad2: touch screen does not respond

Hello, my name is Alessandro, I'm from Italy.
I bought a new iPad 2 from Apple Store. After a day of use the touch screen does not respond and sometimes executes commands at random. I updated the OS, I restored as a new device, but nothing has changed.
Someone can help me?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My phone freezes and the touch screen does not respond to my touch.

My i-phone 4 has been freezing up on me as of late. The buttons will still work but the touch screen does not respond to my touch.
Is my phone hooped or can I do sometinhg to fix it?

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Flashplayer pop up box "Requesting permission to store info on my computer" does not respond and will not go away. How do I get rid of it. It is most annoying as it stays right in the middle of the screen.

Move cursor onto video. Right click. Click Settings, Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close. That will work.
For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
video. See, if it works for you.

Feedback screen does not respond to input

I have a probklem with the new Firefox 9 upgrade (none of the images are shown in my yahoo emails, they are all blocked. I have tried everything that has been suggested in the forums re Page Info, etc etc, but none of it has helped.)
I tried to send a message about this problem to Mozilla via their Firefox Feedback screen using the option for those "not happy", but the screen does not respond at all to any input you type in. You can hit "Submit Feedback" as often as you like, but nothing happens!
I am running XP Pro.

Yes you can still try webOS doctor by holding the volume up and the power buttons while you connect your USB cable. Go to this following web site to get the webOS doctor and follow the steps on the web page.

My ipad2 is nearly useless since the instalación of ios8.0.2, the screen does not respond to touch, wifi freezes

SInce the installation of IOS8.0.2, my iPad 2 is nearly useles. The touch screen does not work, wifi freezes constantly, I am requested continuous to input my iCloud username and passcode. And the system is soooo slow that I have started to use again my old pc to do Internet searches. I have tried the iPad turning off and on but the problems restart shortly afterward. Any suggestions what can I do ? Is Apple doing anything in this regard?

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

My screen does not respond to any touch commands on new 4S

The screen on my new 4S does not respond to swiping in order to configure. In addition, when I try to turn it off, it will not respond to cancel or swiping. I have tried to reset to no avail. Is there something else to try?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

My iphone 5 screen does not respond to touch at all

I don't know what has happened to my phone. The screen does not allow me to even swipe to unlock it. It has lines all the way up the screen of different colours. There is no cracks in the screen or anything like that and I dont recall dropping the phone. The only buttons that work are the home button and the on/off switch. I have tried to reset it but that doesnt work. Any ideas what could have happened and what I can do?
